As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere at school is growing stronger.
All the clubs and organizations put a lot of effort into organizing Christmas dances and New Year's parties, striving to showcase their strengths during the holidays and make it easier to recruit new members in the coming year.
On campus, outside the cafeteria, in front of the library...
Even when Ye Li went to the convenience store to buy oden, she would be stopped by enthusiastic upperclassmen and underclassmen, who would say, "Ye Li, Ye Li, come to our club's Christmas party!"
Ye Li smiled and politely declined.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
Christmas is on Saturday, the day after tomorrow.
She had already promised Xiaobao that she would go to the old house to play with him on Friday.
He was disappointed once last weekend, so even if it rains knives, he can't break his promise this weekend.
Looking up at the sky where it had started snowing again, Ye Li pulled up her hat and put it on, then jogged back to her dormitory.
Lu Xiaoxiao has already cooked the hot pot.
Xie Yunkai rolled up his sleeves and washed the dishes in the sink on the balcony.
Ye Li pushed open the door and entered, a fragrant aroma wafting towards her.
Since moving to Starry Sky Apartment, Xie Yunkai has become a regular visitor.
Sometimes he would buy fruit and bring it over, and sometimes Ye Li and Lu Xiaoxiao would cook dinner, and Fu Yanci would have more dishes added, which they couldn't finish, so they would invite him over for a free meal.
When cooking, Lu Xiaoxiao was the head chef, and Xie Yunkai assisted her.
When they finished eating and were cleaning up, Xie Yunkai said frankly that he was a man and he would do it.
As a result, Ye Li, who was already used to being a pampered child, became a complete parasite.
She had previously jokingly called herself a high-powered light bulb, but later, both Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunkai gave in to her, and when Ye Li spoke up again, they became a family of three.
It feels both incongruous and strangely harmonious.
"Christmas is the most romantic holiday of the year, besides Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival. What are your plans for this weekend?"
Ye Li asked while eating.
They are all poor students; high-class places like coffee shops and concert halls are not suitable for them.
I went to see a movie, but it ended too late for me to get back.
Lu Xiaoxiao is alright; there's no such thing as turning off the lights and locking the doors in the graduate student dormitory. But if Xie Yunkai doesn't come back before 11:30, he really will have nowhere to go.
In this kind of weather that could freeze the Little Match Girl to death, how could Lu Xiaoxiao bear to let her boyfriend suffer from the cold?
"Maybe we should go on a date at the library."
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled.
Xie Yunkai glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He then put a piece of her favorite tripe on Lu Xiaoxiao's plate.
Ye Li nodded, her eyes sparkling, "Sure enough, even the love stories of top students are so touching!"
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao countered, "And what about you? Where do you plan to go on a romantic date with your boyfriend?"
"I'm doomed!"
With a plaintive tone but an indescribable joy on her face, Ye Li said, "I'm going to my boyfriend's house to take care of his child!"
"fine……"
Lu Xiaoxiao grinned mischievously, "Consider it a practice run. When you two get married and have kids, you'll know how to do it."
Ye Li: ...
After dinner, Xie Yunkai cleaned up as usual, while Ye Li and Lu Xiaoxiao stood by the window, holding cups of plum juice, admiring the snow.
Her phone pinged, and Ye Li knew that Fu Yanci had sent her a message. She curled up in the beanbag chair with her phone in her arms.
【Ah Li, did you miss me?】
"...Yes, I've thought about it."
[He's obviously not sincere. If he really missed me, why would he wait until I asked? Liar!]
[...]
Ye Li washed up, and Fu Yanci also went to take a bath.
Ye Li said goodnight, and Fu Yanci said see you tomorrow.
When Ye Li woke up, she found that she was still holding her phone, and on the screen was the message Fu Yanci had sent her late at night: "Ah Li, I miss you so much."
Her face flushed involuntarily. Ye Li bit her lip, deleted the "I miss you too" she had typed, and put her phone away.
After the two classes ended, Ye Li rushed back to her apartment, put down her schoolbag, and packed the books she needed to read and the homework she needed to do over the weekend.
Before she could call to ask Fu Yanci when he would pick her up, the phone rang.
"Fu Yanci, where are you...?"
Before Ye Li could ask, she heard a serious voice from the other end of the phone, "Li, did Xiao Bao call you?"
"No……"
Ye Li was startled. "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Bao is missing!"
Fu Yanci's words sent Ye Li's heart leaping into her throat.
