Annual birthday gift
What Wen Yu wanted to say but didn't say was that he really wanted to tell her that the girl had been in his diary for ten years, and every entry in his diary was about her, but he had only met her once.
Fortunately, they met again ten years later.
When Chen Xing heard Wen Yu's admission, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, even awkward. It clearly had nothing to do with her, but she seemed to care too much about it.
Chen Xing didn't ask any more questions, but Wen Yu said, "If there's a chance, I can share it with you."
Chen Xing said indifferently: "Who wants to read your diary? It's such an important thing, you should keep it well."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Well, it should be preserved well, because I want to write for another ten years, not just ten years..."
Chen Xing fell silent again after hearing Wen Yu's words. She seemed to care about him particularly today. She was not like her before. Chen Xing could feel the difference.
After a long time, Chen Xing stood up from the ground. Wen Yu also clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the starry sky with her side by side.
Chen Xing said calmly, "What a pity! We can't see the stars when it snows."
Wen Yu said: "In fact, they have always been there, they are just hiding."
Chen Xing also knew that those naughty stars were always there. They could see them on the ground, but they could not find their shadows.
Chen Xing suddenly turned around and said to Wen Yu, "Although you didn't ask us to give you a gift, I still think we should show our appreciation."
Chen Xing thought about it for a long time before finally speaking it out. She had also prepared a gift, but she was a little hesitant to give it away.
After Chen Xing knew it was Wen Yu’s birthday yesterday, he had been thinking about what to give him. When he got home that day, he unconsciously drew a picture.
That was her first time painting a portrait. Before that, she had only painted landscapes and scenes she had seen or imagined, but the first person she wanted to paint was Wen Yu.
She hadn't started painting yet, not knowing what kind of mood she should be in when drawing him. Perhaps it was the opportunity of his birthday that gave Chen Xing a reason to send it to him as a birthday blessing.
Wen Yu was extremely happy to receive Chen Xing's gift.
Wen Yu's eyes lit up, "What is it?"
Chen Xing didn't expect Wen Yu to be so looking forward to it. She felt a little embarrassed to give it to him, fearing that he would be disappointed.
Chen Xing stammered, "Actually...actually...it's just...a painting."
Chen Xing didn't dare to look Wen Yu in the eye after he finished speaking, and then quickly said: "Because this is my first time drawing a portrait, it may not look very good. I hope you don't mind."
Chen Xing almost bent over to present the painting to Wen Yu. The sudden formality caught Wen Yu off guard.
Chen Xing had been bending over, but suddenly she heard Wen Yu laugh out loud. She was confused. Why was he laughing? Was he really that ugly?
Chen Xing stood up straight and subconsciously wanted to take the painting back, but Wen Yu got there first.
Chen Xing said, "Don't you like it? Why do you want it?"
Wen Yu smiled and explained, "No, I like it very much. I like it more than any other gift I've ever received."
Chen Xing blinked his big round eyes and looked at Wen Yu, fascinated for a few seconds.
Chen Xing suddenly smiled, a faint smile but a joy that came from the heart.
Chen Xing said: "As long as you like it."
Wen Yu looked at the painting for a long time. Although some parts were not very mature, she painted him very well, like an angel as bright as the sun.
Wen Yu stared at it for a long time, unable to let go, and suddenly blurted out, "Chen Xing, can you give me a portrait on this day every year from now on?"
Wen Yu knew that his request might be a bit excessive. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future, but he really hoped that she would be by his side in the future.
Chen Xing was a little stunned and did not answer immediately.
Wen Yu put down the words in his hand and opened his mouth to continue: "Even if we can't meet again in the future, you can..."
"Okay, I promise you." Chen Xing couldn't bear to hear Wen Yu say that they couldn't meet again, so he subconsciously interrupted him.
When Wen Yu heard Chen Xing's affirmative answer, he didn't react for a moment and just looked at Chen Xing's determined eyes.
Chen Xing smiled brightly and said, "From now on, every December 25th, I will give you a portrait to celebrate your turning one year older."
Wen Yu also laughed and nodded, his eyes filled with Chen Xing's smile at him. How nice it would be if this day could be frozen, how nice it would be if there were another ten years.
That Christmas was just Wen Yu's birthday. The story of that day was vivid and pure, and the snow fell heavily that night, but it was remembered by everyone for a long, long time...

The next day, it snowed all night long, dyeing the whole world white, and everything was covered in white.
The school had not been cleaned yet, and everywhere was covered with snow. The students were much happier than before. After all, where there is snow, there is happiness.
Before the morning reading before the first class started, the class teachers notified the students in each class to do a general cleaning. This was a reasonable use of time, as it not only exercised the students but also cleared the snow in the school.
Chen Xing, Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang were assigned to clean the snow on the playground. Although it was a hard job, they were extremely excited.
The three of them contracted the southeast corner of the playground, which is also the side farthest from the teaching building, so they can play for a while longer.
When Shi Nannan saw the snow without a single footprint, she threw the broom to Shen Xuyang and ran quickly towards the intact snow.
Shi Nannan shouted: "I want to be the first to leave my footprints on this snow, hahaha~"
Shi Nannan was running slowly in front. She wanted to run faster, but was afraid of falling down. Her running posture was really funny.
Chen Xing was laughing behind him, and he didn't forget to remind Shi Nannan: "Nannan, slow down!"
Shen Xuyang didn't like general cleaning, especially snow-clearing, which was a very physically demanding job. He wanted to run away, but before he could, Shi Nannan discovered his little trick and grabbed him.
Shen Xuyang was thrown another broom by Shi Nannan, and he was really a little dissatisfied.
Shen Xuyang took three or two steps with his long legs and caught up with Shi Nannan and said, "Don't be lazy."
Shi Nannan was suddenly grabbed by the clothes by Shen Xuyang, who looked like someone who could see through her thoughts, and his face was a little gloomy and scary.
Shi Nannan had no choice but to take the broom and wait for Chen Xing to come over, but it seemed like there was one more person.
Shi Nannan looked at the person not far behind Chen Xing and called out, "Wen Yu, why are you here too?"
When Chen Xing heard Shi Nannan's words, she was about to turn around and look behind her, but when she turned her head sideways, Wen Yu walked up to her.
Wen Yu said, "I'll recommend myself to the teacher and come help you."
Originally, students in key classes only needed to clean the classroom. After all, their time was precious and could not be wasted at all.
The cleaning work of course cannot be compared with that of ordinary classes. Ordinary classes not only have to clean the classrooms, but also the corridors and the snow outside.
