That Christmas, the weather was perfect for creating a festive atmosphere.
The day before, just as it got dark, snowflakes began to fall gently.
On Christmas Day, everything was covered in a blanket of white.
The shops along the roadside were vying with each other to decorate their shops. One had set up a Christmas tree, another had displayed a Christmas sleigh and reindeer. Accompanied by the cheerful music of jingle bells, the whole place was filled with festive joy.
On the Imperial University campus, the bulletin board at the main entrance is covered with colorful event notices.
This club prepared a Christmas dance party, that club planned a college social event, and there were even forum activities in the auditorium, making it very lively.
Before get out of class was over, Ye Li received a WeChat message from Fu Yanci saying that he was already on his way to pick her up.
Ye Li hurriedly ran towards the apartment.
As soon as I arrived at the building entrance, I saw Xie Yunkai waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"Ye Li..."
Xie Yunkai, carrying a bag, said sincerely, "Thank you for your help..."
On Valentine's Day, Lu Xiaoxiao unilaterally broke up with him.
It's been almost a year, and Xie Yunkai has become a beautiful sight on the Imperial University's campus forum.
A shy female student secretly took a picture of his back as he stood downstairs at the Starry Sky Apartment building, exclaiming that the school heartthrob was so handsome and she could have him.
Some introverted classmates felt regretful and dejected, unable to understand why he was so fixated on one thing, unwilling to look back at the vast forest behind him.
There were also bold and outspoken ones who posted their love letters on the forum's confession wall, declaring that Xie Yunkai wanted to be their girlfriend.
The forum was buzzing with activity, but Xie Yunkai never responded.
He would occasionally appear downstairs at the Starry Sky Apartment building, asking Ye Li to bring things to Lu Xiaoxiao for him.
Sometimes it was professional English books that he asked someone to bring back from abroad.
Sometimes it's a local specialty that only his small mountain village has, and that Lu Xiaoxiao loves to eat.
Sometimes, it was a holiday gift he gave to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Gifts are not accepted.
The professional book transferred the money to Xie Yunkai's Alipay account.
The only thing Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't accept or refuse was the local specialty products from her hometown. Every time, she would walk back and forth in her dormitory countless times, keeping a small portion and then asking someone to send the rest back to Xie Yunkai.
However, after she finished her small portion, the larger portion that had been sent back earlier reappeared on her table in a different package.
Having served as a portal for almost a year, Ye Li witnessed Xie Yunkai's persistence and Lu Xiaoxiao's transformation from calm to turmoil.
Each time, Ye Li sighed inwardly: The ancestors were right!
As our ancestors said, "Those who are not family members will not enter the same door."
Every time Xie Yunkai appears, Lu Xiaoxiao complains, saying that Xie Yunkai is stubborn and inflexible.
Every time, Ye Li would retort without hesitation: You're even more stubborn than him, okay?
After those two weeks in Toronto, Ye Li's resolve to stand firmly on Lu Xiaoxiao's side suddenly wavered when she met Xie Yunkai again.
If happiness is this: I love you, and you happen to love me too.
Therefore, loving each other but not being able to be together is definitely the cruelest thing in the world.
"good!"
Ye Li readily agreed, then hesitated before looking at Xie Yun Kai, "However, I can't guarantee I can hand it over to her in person. Xiao Xiao might not be in the dorm tonight."
? ? ?
Xie Yunkai was taken aback. "Where did she go?"
"The Foreign Languages Department is having a dance tonight, and they've invited handsome guys and beautiful girls from the Film Academy next door to come and socialize... I overheard people from the club talking to Xiaoxiao on the phone."
Ye Li glanced at her phone. "At this time, Xiaoxiao should be getting her makeup done."
The Foreign Languages Department's social dance is the most famous Christmas event among all the departments at Imperial University.
It was both a masquerade ball and a social dance party.
Everyone at the ball was dressed up; some carried magic wands and dressed as Sirius, while others carried their skirts and dressed as Cinderella.
There's also a princess, a witch, and the three werewolf princes...
In short, it's novel, fun, and romantic.
Every year, the ball brings together many couples.
Xie Yunkai would attend every year in the past, but only as the son-in-law of the Foreign Languages Department and Lu Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.
But this year, they broke up.
The thought of Lu Xiaoxiao, dressed in her finest attire, being led by other boys onto the dance floor made Xie Yunkai's heart clench.
"Ye Li, thank you!"
Xie Yunkai turned and ran.
Ye Li smiled and turned to go upstairs.
In dormitory room 520, Lu Xiaoxiao was wearing headphones and doing reading comprehension exercises.
The thick stack of English materials in my hand was filled with dense annotations and translations.
As darkness fell, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Ye Li handing her a bag. Turning around, she immediately smiled and took off her headphones, "Pear..."
"Xie Yunkai gave this to you. He handed it to me in a hurry and left, so I don't know what it is. See for yourself."
"oh."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, looked at the bag in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
Before I could even open it, I looked up and saw Ye Li looking hesitant.
Lu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw Ye Li like this. "Li Zi, what's wrong?"
"Well... never mind, it's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it. It's okay!"
Ye Li turned around and packed her schoolbag.
"pear???"
Sensing an attempt to cover something up, Lu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked down at Ye Li's slightly flustered expression. "Tell me honestly, what happened?"
"That's right, that's right..."
Ye Li sighed, "Xie Yunkai left in a hurry. It seems he went to your department's social dance party! Xiaoxiao, didn't you tell me that the president of your foreign language club is good at making things happen, and that he invited a lot of handsome male and beautiful female students from the film academy this year?"
