My usual way to school.
However, one detail is somewhat different from usual.
Wen Mo helped carry the schoolbag, glancing at the girl's neck every now and then. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing that scarf today?"
Xia Lian wore a very eye-catching red scarf around her neck, but it was obviously not very well made, with some loose threads still showing. Fortunately, she took it to be repaired herself.
Now this scarf has become a very normal red scarf, and it's comfortable to wear around the neck.
"cold."
"It's not about cherishing it for a lifetime."
"I will wear it carefully for the rest of my life." Xia Lian turned her head and said seriously, reaching out to gently stroke the red scarf around her neck, a different emotion flashing in her eyes.
Wen Mo was amused and quickly waved his hand, "Then forget it, it's too difficult to wear it for a lifetime. I'll give you a new gift in the future."
“It’s different.” Xia Lian shook her head, her small hand clutching the hem of his clothes, her eyes no longer as innocent as before. “You should cherish the things Wen Mo gave you… because you like Wen Mo.”
"Okay, okay, after all, this is the first time I've given you a gift, right?"
"The second time."
"The second time?" Wen Mo was stunned. He had forgotten what other gifts he had given Xia Lian before this scarf. "What did I give her the first time?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian stopped in her tracks.
She lifted her little foot and pointed, as if trying to give Wenmo a hint.
Wen Mo blinked, then suddenly remembered something. "I think I remember now, I bought you a pair of pink slippers when we first met?"
Upon hearing this answer, the girl obediently nodded her head.
The next second, she grabbed Wenmo's arm and pressed her whole body against him. Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes, so Wenmo couldn't feel anything.
"Why did you suddenly hug me?" Wen Mo asked with a slight surprise, but still smiled gently.
Xia Lian rested her head on his arm, blinked her innocent big eyes, and added softly, "Because Wen Mo answered correctly... so, he has to give her a reward."
Wenmo was amused, but too embarrassed to show it, so he tried his best to suppress his laughter and reached out to pat her little head.
This girl has really changed a lot. She would never have been so proactive before.
His eyes, which were originally as empty as a dead fish, gradually changed a lot as they spent more time together, and he was no longer as lifeless as before.
To others, she may now appear as just a pretty, ordinary young woman, and she no longer unconsciously furrows her brows, exuding an unapproachable aura.
A spark of attraction cannot be erased by time alone. If your beloved is right beside you, you will be drawn to her no matter what.
Wen Mo raised his head thoughtfully, glancing at her from time to time.
As if noticing the gaze, Xia Lian blankly raised her head and met the person's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Blinking her eyes, Xia Lian's voice remained devoid of any emotion; she spoke simply to express her meaning.
Wen Mo pursed his lips, then shook his head a few seconds later.
"fine."
He responded with a smile, while looking up at the cloudless sky. Perhaps he felt the weather was too cold, as even the sun seemed to be showing itself.
A few rays of sunlight fell on the two of them, and the warm light made Wenmo unconsciously relax.
You have to bridge the gap yourself.
Should I take the initiative...?
...
"Xiao Lian, why are you suddenly wearing a scarf today?"
Before she could even settle down, Yin Tao rushed to Xia Lian's side like a mad rabbit, "It's quite pretty, all red."
After saying that, Yin Tao smiled and wanted to touch it to test its feel.
Unexpectedly, Xia Lian took a step back and dodged the grabbing skill. Then, she looked at Yin Tao in front of her as if facing a formidable enemy, and occasionally let out a hissing sound as if she were protecting her food.
"W-what's wrong?"
Yin Tao's hand awkwardly froze in mid-air before she quickly withdrew it. She had never seen Xia Lian make such an expression before. But with her pretty face, no matter how fierce she looked, she only appeared cute.
After a long while, Xia Lian returned to normal, reached out and grabbed her scarf, her eyes filled with tenderness, "This scarf... was given to me by him."
After saying that, Yin Tao pondered for a few seconds.
Did he give it to me?
who?
He nodded in realization, his smile unchanged, until he finally understood.
No wonder she wouldn't let me touch it; it was a gift from her sweetheart, which makes much more sense.
"You should have said so earlier! I'm sorry, Xiao Lian, I thought it was just an ordinary scarf, so I thought I'd feel it to check its texture." Yin Tao apologized with a grin, clasping her hands together above her head and glancing at Xia Lian's reaction from time to time.
It wasn't a serious problem to begin with, Xia Lian nodded and put her hand down.
"Yin Tao didn't do it on purpose... so it's okay." She said, emphasizing each word, her gaze no longer as hostile as before.
Yin Tao continued to examine the scarf with great interest, and after a long while, she lowered her head and sighed.
"What a pity, I don't have a scarf, only gloves that some idiot gave me." With that, she raised her eyebrows and pulled out a pair of pink mittens from her bag, looking quite smug.
All four fingers are slipped together, leaving only one spot for the thumb. From the outside, it looks like a pair of very cute, girly gloves.
"Hehe, pretty impressive, right!"
Yin Tao put them on her hands and made crab claw shapes with her hands.
Just as I was about to say something more boastful, I felt a sharp pain in my head.
"Ouch!" Yin Tao cried out in pain and squatted down, looking up at the extra figure above her head.
"It's so noisy so early in the morning, don't disturb people's sleep." Ye Qingzhou complained, clearly her nap had been interrupted.
"I'm sorry... I didn't notice you were sleeping..."
Yin Tao squatted pitifully on the ground, poking each other with her hands through her gloves. Her innocent expression made it impossible to be angry with her.
Yeah, I'm calm now.
Ye Qingzhou moved a chair and sat down next to them, propping his head up with his hand and looking at the gloves and scarves on the two girls.
"Is it that cold today? You've put on gloves and a scarf."
Xia Lian blinked, tilting her head slightly, "Because, gloves and scarves are both things that touch my heart... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yin Tao hurriedly covered Xia Lian's mouth with her own, her face showing unmistakable shame and embarrassment.
I've never seen her make that expression before.
"Why did you cover her mouth? I didn't even finish listening."
"It's nothing fancy, it just means that both of these things are very precious, and we both like them a lot, something like that, hehe..."
Yin Tao lied, trying her best to make a relaxed expression on her face.
Ye Qingzhou felt a little strange, but didn't say anything. He simply reached out and touched her hand. "You still have these gloves?"
"Of course I'll keep it. After all, it was a gift from you, and I'll cherish it."
