"Master often says that you might not be able to eat well when you are alone outside. You should take care of yourself and stop worrying her."
"knew."
Xiao Zheng lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She had never said such caring words to him before. Although he knew that she did it for her grandmother's sake... he was still very happy.
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, took out a blue velvet box from his pocket and handed it to Wen Xi, then mustered up the courage to say, "Hey, Happy New Year!"
Wen Xi frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
"Don't take it too seriously," Xiao Zheng explained hurriedly when he saw her look of rejection, "It's just a New Year's gift."
Afraid that Wen Xi would not accept it, he added, "Besides, it was given to you by my mother."
"Auntie has already given me a red envelope."
The implication is that the New Year's gift had already been sent. If his mother really wanted to send it, she would have sent it at the same time just now.
Being exposed on the spot, Xiao Zheng was caught off guard and looked extremely embarrassed, his face even blushing, which was rare for him.
"Well, don't think too much about it." He scratched his shaved head helplessly. "I really didn't mean any other thing. Didn't your parents just give me a big red envelope? I just wanted to return the favor and give you a gift. I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I said it was from my mom. I didn't mean to lie to you..."
Wen Xi nodded: "I know, but it's really not necessary, thank you. Your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."
The box has the mark of a luxury brand on it. Even though she doesn't like it, it doesn't mean she doesn't recognize it.
Wen Xi smiled and raised the paper bag in her hand and said, "Didn't your mother give me a red envelope? And Master gave me one too. So, I actually made a profit. Oh, and what about these dumplings? I see you made some too. They're a bit ugly, but the filling shouldn't be exposed, right?"
Wen Xi joked.
"Of course, of course not!"
Xiao Zheng hurriedly straightened his chest. He had been learning for a long time for this day. Although the appearance was not very good, it would definitely not be exposed, and the taste should be good. He had secretly tried a few of them just now.
"Okay, then consider these as gifts from your old classmate. Thank you, and Happy New Year!"
Wen Xi waved at him and left.
"Happy New Year... Goodbye."
Xiao Zheng looked at Wen Xi's receding back, feeling mixed emotions.
Old classmates... Old classmates...
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and murmured softly. His hands in his pockets clenched into fists and did not loosen for a long time.
A gust of wind blew by, and he couldn't help feeling a little chill in his thin clothes after hurriedly running out of the heated room. To his heart, it was even colder.
Wen Xi's words "old classmate" directly separated the two of them from each other with an unbridgeable distance.
Loss, regret, unwillingness... countless complex emotions surged into my heart one after another.
It’s all my fault for being blind.
Who else can I blame except myself?
He once thought he was righteous, and in order to protect Song Qingxue, he acted like a hero and bullied Wen Xi, the real victim, repeatedly finding fault with her... intimidation, threats, and verbal violence...
None of them deserves to be forgiven!
When he fell down with a high fever, she was the one who asked someone to help him to the infirmary;
On Tuan Mountain, her deskmate was unconscious and injured in the leg. To save them, she single-handedly led away the desperate gang...
What use is he other than talking nonsense and bullying girls?
It's only natural to be rejected, isn't it?
He, Xiao Zheng, is a blind man!
