82. I should think about this carefully

"Oh, really?" Xiao Cheng smiled.

He looked at Xu Wenqiang, who had re-positioned herself to continue, and said slowly, "Xu Wenqiang, everyone who sees it gets a share. We're all classmates, so you have to give me something, right?"

Xu Wenqiang listened to Xiao Cheng's words, and her outstretched arm trembled, causing the loop in her hand to lose its accuracy, and the scarf that she had originally grasped was gone.

Xu Wenqiang turned around to look at Xiao Cheng, "Why are you getting involved? Su Xiaoshan just gave me a pair of gloves, and I want to return the gift."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Cheng still took his time and put the hat on Xu Wenqiang's head. "Then I'll give this hat to you, and you should give me the same."

"I don't want this hat!" Xu Wenqiang hurriedly took it off because it had a big pink rabbit on it, which looked very childish.

"Don't take it off, it's such a cute hat." Xiao Cheng took the hat and wanted to put it on Xu Wenqiang.

"Xiao Cheng, take that thing away..." Xu Wenqiang dodged Xiao Cheng and the hat in his hand with disgust, and didn't care about putting the ring on for a while.

Su Xiaoshan watched Xu Wenqiang and Xiao Cheng coldly, suppressing the nameless anger in his heart, and said indifferently, "Xu Wenqiang, why don't we just forget about it today? We see each other every day anyway, so you don't have to give me a gift today."

Before Xu Wenqiang could even open her mouth, Xiao Cheng took over the conversation, "Xu Wenqiang, you and Su Xiaoshan see each other every day, but you and I don't see each other every day. So if you really want to, give me my gift today."

When Xu Wenqiang heard this, she angrily said, "Xiao Cheng, where did I say I was going to give you something?"

"But I didn't hear you refuse either." Xiao Cheng looked sincere.

“——”

Xu Wenqiang was furious.

Su Xiaoshan snorted and laughed, "Xu Wenqiang, Xiao Cheng values ​​your gift so much, you must not let him down."

Xiao Cheng chuckled, "I'm too petty, not as generous as you. But I can't help it. After all, it's winter vacation, and it's not easy to see each other."

"I'm not being magnanimous, I just don't want to rush her. Anyway, given her personality, she'll definitely do what she's said."

"It seems you understand her."

"After all, we grew up together, so this little understanding is nothing."

"Although I don't know her as well as you do, we are still in the process of getting to know each other, so it's inevitable that I'm a little anxious."

…

"It's a hit."

"Another hit."

Xiao Cheng and Su Xiaoshan were talking endlessly over there, but Xu Wenqiang took advantage of the fact that no one was interrupting her and threw two rings in one go, putting a scarf and a towel on the stall into her pocket.

"Are you guys done talking?" Xu Wenqiang held a scarf in her left hand and a towel in her right. "Here, one for each of you."

Xiao Cheng and Su Xiaoshan simultaneously reached out to take the scarf from Xu Wenqiang's left hand, but Xu Wenqiang handed the towel to Xiao Cheng, "This is yours."

"Why are you giving me a towel?" Xiao Cheng looked disgusted.

"I have already promised to give the scarf to Su Xiaoshan. If you don't want the towel, forget it. I'll take it home." Xu Wenqiang said as she was about to take her hand back.

"Forget it, give it to me." Xiao Cheng took the towel, but he was still dissatisfied. "Forget about a towel, it's a big red towel with a '囍' character on it——"

Thinking about when he would be able to use this kind of towel, Xiao Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.

Su Xiaoshan also thought of it, and the scarf in his hand became less rare.

Xu Wenqiang naturally wouldn't have been surprised, but she chose to pretend she hadn't noticed. "The color is a bit bright, Xiao Cheng, you can take it back and use it as a rag."

"It's a bit of a waste to use it as a rag." Xiao Cheng put the towel away, "I'll take care of it myself."

Seeing Xiao Cheng's smug look, Xu Wenqiang coughed twice and said, "It's a rare opportunity to come to the night market. Let's go somewhere else."

"Still shopping?" Su Xiaoshan seemed a little bored.

"It's rare to meet you outside of school. I want to go shopping again." Xiao Cheng was very excited. "It's not convenient for me to carry these things. I'd better return them to the boss first."

"Xu Wenqiang, do you really not want this hat?" Xiao Cheng seemed reluctant to part with the hat with the pink rabbit on it.

"If you like it, you can keep it for yourself." Xu Wenqiang said expressionlessly.

Finally, Xu Wenqiang said goodbye to the ring-tossing boss who thanked them repeatedly, wearing gloves, Su Xiaoshan wearing a scarf, and Xiao Cheng wearing a red towel and a hat.

Sensing that Su Xiaoshan was in a bad mood, Xu Wenqiang made small talk, "Su Xiaoshan, the night market is much more lively than before."

Su Xiaoshan said "hmm", "It's much more lively, but not very interesting."

Xu Wenqiang didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just laughed dryly and said, "We've grown up, and nothing is interesting anymore."

"I think it's quite interesting. It's popular and has a sense of homeliness," said Xiao Cheng.

Xu Wenqiang glanced at Xiao Cheng and said, "I forgot to ask you, why are you here at the night market?"

"I was bored at home, so I came here." Xiao Cheng also glanced at Xu Wenqiang, "I didn't expect to run into you."

That morning, she rejected his proposal and left quietly. After she left, the whole world seemed to quiet down. He pondered for a long time, but to no avail. Finally, when night fell, he found himself at the night market, drawn by some strange force.

Maybe, I can meet her.

Then, I really met her.

"Xu Wenqiang, do you want to stay in Qingshi?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"Stay here?" This was another question Xu Wenqiang had never thought about before.

"Xu Wenqiang, do you want to stay in Qingshi?" Su Xiaoshan's face changed.

Xu Wenqiang stopped and looked at Su Xiaoshan, then at Xiao Cheng: "Do you really want me to answer such a serious question in such a noisy night market? Xiao Cheng is fine, he doesn't even know about the mess that just happened in my family. Su Xiaoshan, you know, do you think I have the mind to think about what will happen two years later?"

Su Xiaoshan was startled by Xu Wenqiang's question. Xiao Cheng pressed the issue, "What happened at home?" Then, thinking of something, his tone darkened, "Has your mother's affair been discovered?"

Xu Wenqiang didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

Xiao Cheng fell silent. During such a chaotic time, it was truly inappropriate to envision the future.

Su Xiaoshan fell silent. He realized that the intimacy between Xu Wenqiang and Xiao Cheng had surpassed his imagination. Xu Yanmei's affair was no secret at the farmers' market, but Xiao Cheng was not part of it. He should have been an outsider, completely unaware of the situation, but he knew everything from just one sentence. He even knew about Xu Yanmei and Chen Long's affair long ago.

And all this could only be told to Xiao Cheng by Xu Wenqiang herself.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoshan's heart was instantly filled with countless ants, and each ant was greedily gnawing at his flesh and blood.

Xu Wenqiang, the Xu Wenqiang who grew up with him, had someone standing beside her unknowingly.

The three of them walked silently in the night market. All the hustle and bustle around them seemed to have nothing to do with them.

As they were about to leave the night market, Xu Wenqiang made up her mind and said to Xiao Cheng and Su Xiaoshan beside her, "Although I can't give you an answer now, I promise you, I will figure it out. Whether to stay or leave, and if I leave, where to go, I will figure it out and give you the answer."

Behind him was a chaotic bustle and noise, but Xu Wenqiang's eyes were clear.

"Xu Wenqiang, you have enough time to think about the answer. I'll wait for you." Su Xiaoshan said.

"That's right, there are still two years left."

Xiao Cheng said, "Xu Wenqiang, this answer is not just for us, it's for you too."

"That's right, I should think about it carefully."
