"Then you can go up." Leng Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the child-like girl.
"I know, but don't leave until you see me in my bedroom.”Sophie grabbed her cold hands and said coquettishly.
Helpless, helpless. Seeing such a young miss, even the experienced him had no choice but to agree. "Alright, I won't leave.”As she spoke, she lit a cigarette out of habit and slowly watched the young miss leave.
Just like that, Xiao Shi, Edward, Liang Liang, Su Fei, and Dai Mengni spent the rest of their days playing and studying. Sophie had never taken her studies seriously. This kind of life seemed to be the dream of this young lady. As for Liang Liang, it was unknown if he was gifted or had some outstanding talent, but his grades didn't seem to be affected at all. Edward increasingly felt that his past ideals were no longer so engraved. Although he did not give up completely, he did not work as hard as before, because he understood that he was no longer a learning tool. In his youth, there were not only learning but also many things worth doing. Little Shi seemed to be no longer as dull as before in this half semester's study life. Instead, he became cheerful and full of hope for life. The icy cold Damoni was no longer as erratic as before. In Edward's eyes, she was no longer an erratic dream. She seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
Youth is a pair of merciless scissors, changing our appearance bit by bit. However, it also moistens our emotions bit by bit like nectar. On the road of youth, everyone met each other, which was the most beautiful blessing God gave us. We bid farewell to being alone and lonely, and bid farewell to being alone for thousands of miles. In the years to come, it seems that we are already intertwined with each other, with you and me, we will share weal and woe.
The homeroom teacher had returned. The storm of the mid-term exams had passed, and everyone was back on track. Time was still flying, and in the blink of an eye, it was Christmas.
The wind was blowing and the snow was falling. Noelle still had that unique figure in front of the world. Christmas still did not change its true color. It was still as gray and monotonous. After all, this was a foreign festival. It was obviously not a good thing for this county town where a group of old-fashioned people lived.
However, under the stimulation of profits, the supermarkets at the entrance of No. 3 High School were particularly festive. All kinds of apples lit up everyone's eyes. The number of obese Santas increased dramatically, and they stood in the supermarket in a daze.
Edward arrived at the school with a radiant face. Everywhere he went, he could see everyone carrying colorful apples to and fro. High school was tough. There were no social gatherings or other ways to bond. Even extra-cursory activities were pitifully few. Everyone could only use this festival, which was not recognized by the People's Republic of China, to relieve the pressure of their studies.
Boys sent boys, boys sent girls, girls sent boys, girls sent girls, either for friendship or love, or even for the relationship between teachers and students. Everyone's gifts were not heavy, but they were all sincere hearts.
Of course, Edward was not ignorant of romance. He had already prepared an apple from Damoni. It wasn't bought from the supermarket, but from an apple he bought himself. Although it wasn't expensive, it showed Edward's burning heart.
"This is for you." As he spoke, Xiao Shi took out the apple he had wrapped and placed it on Edward's table.
"You're still so polite to me, my good brother.”Edward felt warm in his heart when he saw that Little Shi also knew how to express his feelings.
"I'm not being polite with you. Where's mine?" Xiao Shi smiled mischievously.
"You've also learned to be bad. I've already prepared it for you.”Edward smiled as he took out a few packets of apples from his bag.
"I want this." Xiao Shi immediately picked up Edward's carefully crafted apple.
"Is this okay? It's for girls.”Edward quickly tried to dissuade her.
"You value your lover over your friend. Is it for your dream? I don't want it. Don't worry.”Xiao Shi smiled evilly and took back his apple.
Edward's thoughts were instantly guessed, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He was speechless.
"I have money."
"Young Miss is indeed different."
The noisy class suddenly exploded again, and everyone questioned him again.
It turned out that Sophie was carrying a large fruit basket with apples, bananas, and everything else. It was obvious that it was expensive. Without looking at the screaming students, she returned to her seat.
"You bought it for me." A male student's wretched voice came from the side.
"A toad lusting after swan meat." Sophie replied without mercy. She was famous for her shrewdness in school.
The male students who had asked for a snub immediately deflated like a balloon and did not say a word. Everyone secretly cursed Su Fei for her shrewdness.
"Xiao Sen, Xiao Shi gave it to you two.”As she spoke, Sophie placed two large pomelos on Edward's desk.
"That big fruit basket isn't for us.”Edward asked softly.
"You wish." Sophie replied disdainfully.
"Oh, we know who it's for.”Xiao Shi and Edward answered together.
"Don't worry about it. Where's mine?”Sophie was afraid that the two of them would continue talking, so she quickly changed the topic.
"I've already prepared it for you." Edward said as he offered an apple.
"I don't want this, I want this.”Sophie grabbed the apple for Dai Mengni.
" No, no, this really won't do…" Edward pleaded with a flushed face.
"I know. This is for my little sister, Xiao Longnu, right?”Sophie said with an evil smile.
Edward's face was flushed with excitement, but he could not say a word.
"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and give it to her. There are a lot of boys chasing after her. I don't want her to fall into someone else's hands.”Sophie said as she handed the apple to Edward.
" When she comes, I'll let her go. When happiness comes, I have to seize it.”After giving Edward the apple, Sophie said a bunch of seemingly encouraging words for no reason.
"We're just ordinary friends." Edward quibbled.
"I need to develop the ordinary ones." Sophie said and left.
A moment later, Dai Mengni arrived. Unlike the other girls who were immersed in the joy of Christmas, she was still as cold as ice. She did not have a trace of happiness or sadness. She was narcissistic and indifferent.
Edward had wanted to give him the apple he had chosen countless times, but when she really came…Edward, however, backed down a little. It wasn't because he was timid, nor was it because he was afraid of everyone's gossip. Seeing her cold and arrogant demeanor, Edward felt a deep sense of inferiority in his eyes. For some reason, Edward always felt that she was as cold and elegant as a fairy, and that she was not an ordinary thing. He could only give up for her without any regrets, but he definitely could not touch her. Edward didn't know if this was so-called love, but he told himself that no matter what she was, he would protect her without regret in this life and wouldn't let her get hurt at all.
"What's wrong with you? She's already here.”Seeing the motionless Edward, Xiao Shi, who was next to him, became a little anxious.
"I don't want to go." Edward replied.
"Are you kidding me? You dropped the ball at the critical moment.”The wooden little Shi was a little angry at Edward's appearance.
"I'm not joking. I'm afraid she'll be angry.”Edward explained his reasons helplessly.
"It's okay. Why don't I send it to you?”As he spoke, Xiao Shi picked up the apple and was about to give it to Dai Mengni.
"Forget it, Little Shi." Seeing this, Edward grabbed Xiao Shi anxiously.
"Even a man is so sloppy when chasing a girl. I really don't know if you're a product of this society.”Xiao Shi lectured Edward in all seriousness.
"Yes, yes, yes…Teacher Shi taught me a lesson, but I won't send you off today, okay? There are many things you don't understand.”Edward seemed to have some unspeakable difficulties.
"Just admit that you're incompetent. Don't find excuses for your cowardice.”Xiao Shi seemed to be especially active today.
Just like that, Edward's Christmas was unusually depressing. He had cursed countless times why the foreigners wanted to organize such a holiday. Ah Q's self-consolation method seemed to have helped him regain some face for his cowardice, but the repressed Edward still felt uncomfortable all over.
The sax rang. School was finally over. The day of self-criticism was finally over. Edward immediately packed his bag and wanted to escape from all of this.
"Let's go have a drink on Christmas Eve. I wanted to ask you for advice.”Edward said to the teacher, who had finally become a teacher for a day.
"I really can't today. I have something to do at home. I have to go back.”Xiao Shi rejected helplessly.
"You're so troublesome." Edward grumbled and left the classroom.
"Brother." It was Leng Liang who spoke.
"I'm going over on Christmas Eve. I'm going to drink with my brother.”Edward invited.
"I really can't. Brother, Fifth Uncle has something to do.”Liang Liang also rejected Edward.
"You guys are so troublesome." Edward grumbled.
"I really can't get away. This fruit basket is for you as compensation.”Leng Liang looked at the big fruit basket in her hand.
"Sophie gave it to you." Edward had already guessed it.
"Yes." She replied coolly.
"She's interested in you." Edward teased.
"You still don't know her. She's crazy. Alright, I won't discuss the problem of men and women with you anymore. I'm in a hurry and I'll leave first." As he spoke, he tossed the fruit basket to Edward and rode off on the streetcar.
Edward was left alone again, holding a large fruit basket as he strolled aimlessly through the streets.
"Edward." His voice was like a spring breeze, instantly melting the ice and snow that had accumulated in Edward's heart. It made the frozen youth's blood boil, and he could not control himself.
"Why is it you?" Edward could not believe his eyes.
"Can't I?" The person who spoke was a petite girl. She was lively and cute, cheerful and quick-witted. She was a completely different person from Dai Mengni. Of course, the one who was alive was Edward's middle school classmate, Qin Wen.
"Of course not. It's been a long time since we last met, Xiao Wen.”Edward seemed a little nostalgic.
"Isn't that so? You're also in No. 3 High School.”Xiao Wen asked gently.
"Class Five." Edward said embarrassedly. He was naturally a little ashamed to face Xiao Wen, who was the best in middle school and was now in class one.
"Oh, your fruit basket is so beautiful.”Xiao Wen looked at the fruit basket and said.
