But he gave up all of that for her.
Is it really worth it?
He clearly had many more and better options.
"Xie Yunkai..."
Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at Xie Yunkai, "Why? I'm not good at all, I'm not pretty, and I'm petty. What do you like about me?"
A glint of light flashed in Xie Yunkai's eyes.
Xiaoxiao hasn't forgiven him yet, nor has she agreed to make up with him.
But Xie Yunkai's heart, which had been as still as a dry well, was suddenly stirred by a sudden ripple.
"Yeah, you're stingy and petty..."
Xie Yun opened his mouth.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
Then a smile appeared in the other person's eyes. "But look, you're stingy, but I'm even more stingy than you. You're petty, and I'm just as petty, so petty that my heart can only hold you. Xiaoxiao..."
Xie Yunkai took a step forward and reached out to hold Lu Xiaoxiao's hand. "I'm clumsy and bad at talking. When I do something wrong, all I can say is 'I'm sorry' and I don't know any sweet words. But you still liked me for so many years."
"Xiaoxiao, from beginning to end, we are the same kind of people, we only like each other, right?"
She tried to break free but failed, so Lu Xiaoxiao went with him.
His face relaxed as Xie Yunkai removed the half-mask from his face.
Lu Xiaoxiao instinctively flinched.
Xie Yunkai gripped her hand tighter. "Want to dance? Or, let's leave together?"

Stepping out of the auditorium, it felt as if the whole world had been instantly muted.
Before her lay a vast expanse of white snow, and Xie Yunkai, who was looking back at her.
Above us, the Christmas tree lights cast a gentle, colorful glow.
In his ears, he could hear her pounding heartbeat and his rapid breathing.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked up at Xie Yunkai.
"Xie Yunkai, you've grown taller again?"
"Yes. It's grown three centimeters..."
"??? This is so unfair! Didn't they say that growth stops after age 20?"
"Since you ignore me, all I do besides go to class, do experiments, and play basketball. So..."
"I'm ignoring you? It's all your fault..."
"I was wrong! Xiaoxiao, I was really wrong, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
How did you know it was me, Little Red Riding Hood?
"Xiaoxiao, I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
“…Alright, since you recognized me, I forgive you… um…”
The snow fell heavily.
On the distant horizon, the light, cheerful notes of jingling bells drift on the wind.
The figures embracing and kissing sweetly are enveloped in the shadows of the Christmas tree, a tender and beautiful scene.
