"No, it's not." Lu Nianxi looked at him: "It's precisely because I treat you as a friend, we don't need to do this. If you give me a gift, I have to give you one in return. It can be a bit tiring, so I'd rather not take your stuff."
"But, isn't exchanging gifts between friends supposed to be a happy thing?"
"It usually is, but that's based on certain conditions. For instance, if it's my birthday and you give me a small gift, I'll be very happy."
"Got it." Xu Tianlang put the book away: "Then I'll wait for your birthday to give it."
Lu Nianxi wanted to say something but heard her phone ringing.
She picked it up and looked, then said to Xu Tianlang: "Sorry, I need to take a call."
Xu Tianlang nodded.
Lu Nianxi walked a few steps to the side and answered: "Brother, what's up?"
"Xixi, did I leave a book in your bag last time? I need to look something up, can I come over and get it now, is it convenient?"
"Sure." Lu Nianxi said: "I'll go upstairs and get it for you."
