After the dry and hot summer, Spain welcomed a mild and rainy winter. Thanks to its unique geographical location, the entire Iberian Peninsula enjoyed the comfort of the Mediterranean climate.
The few climates in the world nourished the land it loved in its own way.
Carlos finally saved up 320 euros before February 3rd. During his time in the youth training camp, he had grown a lot taller. His good genes had taken advantage of him. Coupled with his hard work, Carlos was approved to join the U13 team. His salary had a small increase.
Fortunately, in the past six months, the pearl bracelet had been lying in the window, but its position had been moved from the center of the conspicuous area to the corner. Its silver chain was not as bright as it was under the light. The pearl's luster was a little dull against the other jewels.
But in Carlos's heart, this bracelet was still the most suitable gift.
He took out the money he had saved from the box that Su Qingjia had given him last time and counted it several times to make sure that there was no mistake. Then, she took a thick stack of cash and went to the mall.
The salespeople at the jewelry window were enchanting girls. Even though it was winter, they had never worn thick coats. The thin fabric wrapped around their hot and spicy bodies. The girls showed the most charming smile to every man who walked past, and the hem of their dresses swayed charmingly.
Carlos walked to the window where the bracelet was and asked,""Hello, can I buy this bracelet?”He tapped a corner of the glass counter." This one.”
Customers were God. Billionaires might dress up as ordinary people or even beggars. They could not neglect customers just because of their clothes. It was not without reason that Spain's service industry was widely praised.
"Okay, please wait a moment." It was a woman in her twenties with exquisite makeup. Carlos was not used to the smell of perfume.
The hand with red nail polish placed Carlos 'favorite bracelet in front of him. It was the first time he had seen it so close.
It was so beautiful, he thought. Bella would definitely like it.
" This bracelet is of the latest design. The chain is made of silver, and this pearl comes from the sea. It's round and shiny. Look…" The girl explained the introduction to him in detail. Although the blond boy was young, the girl still praised his handsomeness.
"I want to buy it. Can you wrap it for me? As a birthday present." After listening to the introduction, Carlos just wanted to know more about the gift so that he could describe the bracelet to Bella.
This time, the girl was not only impressed by his beauty, but also admired his straightforwardness." Okay, sir. We will pack it for you and attach a card. Is that okay?"”
"Sure."
The girl handed him a piece of thick cardboard. There was a warm rose and a faint fragrance on it. He took it and asked,"Can I bring it back to write?" He wrote this to Bella. He didn't want anyone to be the first to see it.
"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment." The girl put the bracelet into a white box and wrapped it up in a wrapping paper. The whole process was very fast." It's a total of 320 euros. Sir, do you want to pay by card or cash?”
"In cash." Carlos took out the 320-Euros note. The girl was a little embarrassed, but she immediately retracted her expression and counted the money.
After the girl had verified it, Carlos held the gift in his hand and felt sweet in his heart. He wanted to put it on Bella himself.

In the middle of September, Su Qingjia became a second-year transfer student in a foreign country, in the same class as Liu Mengya.
The duration of primary education in Spain was six years, which was no different from that in China. It was divided into three stages every two years. In these six years, students would study Spanish, mathematics, general subjects, sports, art and sculpture, as well as a second language. Generally speaking, they would choose English.
In the last year of each stage, if a student's results were deemed to be unqualified, they would have to retake a year. " Free compulsory basic education " was strictly stipulated by the Spanish education law. In the passionate Spain, rational thinking was equally important.
Su Qingjia wasn't happy about her second year, but she was also upset that she had to go back with the white swan every day.
Because Spain had a rule that children under the age of 13 were not allowed to travel alone, they had to be accompanied by their parents. The work at the embassy was very busy, so several families decided to arrange shifts to pick up their children from school.
Oh, right, the white swan was called Xiao Yun. She was in the fifth grade. It was said that she was a child who always got more than 9 points in her exams (Spanish exam results were 10 points). However, there were no exams in the first and second grades. Su Qingjia showed the white swan's face with "You still have exams? It's so hard."
It was slightly different from China. Spanish primary schools had three semesters in a school year. The first semester was from mid-September to around December 20th. There was a 20-day winter vacation. There was a one-week holiday from January 8th to March Easter. It was the second semester. The semester ended around June 20th. This was the third semester.
Life went on like this. After the coldest month of January, Su Qingjia's birthday arrived.
Compared to those children who were born at the end of February, Su Qingjia was extremely glad that she was born at the beginning. She did not have to celebrate her birthday every four years.
Ming Ling had been preparing for her daughter's birthday party since a long time ago. Other than attending classes every day, she would do all kinds of shopping and decorations. This was the first birthday she had personally prepared for her daughter. In the past few years, she could only give her blessings over the phone and send a gift.
Su Qingjia had never complained about his parents, not even in his previous life. Although she had envied her classmates when she was young to have parents to accompany her, she also longed for a safe haven when she was studying in England. After she settled down independently, she also secretly cried.
However, she could feel her parents 'reluctance in their daily greetings. Many times when they were disappointed, they were always sadder than you.
Of course, there was another reason why she didn't dare to cry over the phone. If she cried, Mingling would cry even harder than her. It was not an exaggeration to say that the water would flood a mountain of gold.
Ming Ling was speechless.
A few days ago, his grandmother and grandfather had come over from Madrid. As a Chinese citizen with a strong family background, well, now a Spanish citizen, Ming Yu liked this sweet-mouthed granddaughter the most.
As soon as they arrived, Su Qingjia acted cute and funny, making them laugh. He told jokes and played the piano. Su Qingjia pouted and laughed. It was easy.
The warmth of his family swept away the haze of Carlos's unwillingness to attend the party.
In fact, she also knew that Carlos did not want to interact with outsiders. He was very closed off, but once he recognized you, he would treat you well from the bottom of his heart. Su Qingjia wanted to find an opportunity to change his loneliness, but it was very difficult to implement.
The small villa became even more cozy under Ming Ling and Sonia's decorations. Ming Yu even made paper cuts himself. His grandfather's craftsmanship was great. A few of the twelve zodiac signs came, and with the word " Fu," they were happily pasted on the window.
The glass of this romantic Spanish building was painted, and now it inexplicably blended with the traditional window grilles. It actually looked very compatible.
Su Qingjia's uncles had brought their children here. After his rebirth, it was the first time he had seen his cousins. Their facial features were more western and deep, but overall, they did not disappoint Ming Yu's high-quality genes. They could also speak a few words in Chinese and could understand ordinary words.
Liu Mengya, White Swan, and other children from the embassy also came. As Chinese people who worked hard outside, they felt like they were from the same hometown in a foreign country. If they said the same thing, they would feel warm here. At least they were not alone.
The uncles of the embassy gave him many gifts. Su Qingjia thanked them one by one. Oh, there were too many. He couldn't put them all down.
As the main character of the day, Su Qingjia was very tired but very happy. She was eating cake when Ming Ling walked over."Baby, someone is looking for you outside. It's a very beautiful blond boy.”
Su Qingjia almost buried herself in the cake. She quickly swallowed the cake."I'll go take a look, but I hope it's him.”
"Remember to wear a coat, Bella." Ming Ling took her plate.
"Got it." Su Qingjia was wearing a princess dress. The warm room was not cold, but it was still raining outside.
Wearing a woolen cloak, Su Qingjia took an umbrella and went out.
Carlos stood outside the door with an umbrella. When he saw Su Qingjia, his eyes lit up, especially in the night.
"Carlos?" Su Qingjia was very happy." You're here. Come in quickly." Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Su Qingjia teased.
Carlos shook his head." I'm just here to give you a gift. I'll go back after I give it to you."”He wanted to be alone with her, not with so many people, but Bella was different from him. She had to take care of her family.
He took out a box from his pocket and wrapped it in the classic peacock blue. It looked unique and beautiful.
"This is for you, Bella. Open it and take a look.”Carlos smiled at her, his grayish-blue eyes like stars.
Su Qingjia nodded and carefully opened the package. Inside the white box lay a bracelet. The pearl was small but beautiful and exquisitely made.
Carlos wanted to scratch his head, but he couldn't. He pursed his lips and whispered,""Bella, I…can I put it on you?”
Su Qingjia stretched out her fair little hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate wrist." Not bad. It's so beautiful. It'll definitely look good on you."”
Looking at the boy who was carefully putting the bracelet on her, her heart ached and she felt gratified. He was now a head taller than her, and she could no longer see the top of his head.
The bracelet was designed with a buckle. Su Qingjia's wrist was like the wings of a butterfly, slender and moving. Carlos was afraid that he would break her, so he gently buckled the bracelet."Yes, it's very beautiful."
Without waiting for Su Qingjia to speak, Carlos stepped forward and hugged her." Bella, happy birthday. I wish you health and happiness."”
Then, he ran away with the umbrella.
Su Qingjia looked at the bracelet. The thin chain accentuated the curves of her wrist, and the pearl embellishment was as cute as a drop of water.
But then, she rolled down her sleeves and covered it.
He opened his palm and saw a greeting card with a tiny rose printed on it. Carlos had given it to her before he left.
"You are like a pearl.
- Carlos "
