Angrily accuse him: What qualifications do you have to be forgiven by me? Or, weep with grievance: No, I will never forgive you! But none of them happened.

Tang Mulin just looked at him quietly, "Mr. Chu, what do you think you did wrong that requires my forgiveness?"

Without waiting for Chu Jinnian to speak again.

Tang Mulin smiled, "If you are talking about your following during this period, then, okay, I forgive you."

"Now, I solemnly inform you that your stalking has caused trouble to my life. Please stop this behavior immediately. Otherwise, I will call the police and ask them to help me."

After saying that, Tang Mulin nodded slightly, turned around and left.

Subconsciously wanting to follow, Chu Jinnian stopped where he was before he even raised his foot.

The girl's cold attitude and serious words.

Everything told him that she was not joking.

He cared more about her attitude than the series of troubles that would come from being taken away by the police.

He didn't want to offend her.

Even a little bit.

His eyes fell on the slender figure walking away in the distance. Chu Jinnian stared at her intently until she disappeared from his sight, then he slowly walked forward.

The next evening, as Tang Mulin walked out of the classroom, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the sycamore tree.

The phoenix tree is still green, but the tall figure under the tree is no longer there.

As if he had anticipated this result, Tang Mulin walked out calmly.

But when he lowered his eyes, he could not hide the loneliness.

Miss Tang...

hehe.

So this time, he really didn't remember her?

Tears welled up in Tang Mulin's eyes. He looked up at the clear sky and widened his eyes to push away the tears.

Walking all the way to the apartment, Tang Mulin would always glance at the glass window beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

The figure that I could see every time before has definitely disappeared.

Tang Mulin, isn't this just what you wanted?

Why are you so sad? A voice in her heart asked her.

Tang Mulin couldn't answer.

When I saw the Christmas tree in the window and the gift boxes on it, I was stunned for a moment.

"When giving someone a gift, why ask? If you already know everything, then there's no need to be surprised, okay?"

"But I want to give you a gift you like."

"Brother Jinnian, I will like whatever you give me."

…

Two slightly childish voices, one was shy in joy, the other was steady and reliable.

But in the end, the girl still didn't get the Christmas gift he gave her.

On Christmas Eve, the Tang and Chu families gathered at the Chu family's house.

In the fireplace, fruit wood exudes a fragrant wood aroma.

All around, adults toasted to celebrate.

When the noise started, Tang Mulin ran to the window and saw the young man being beaten and kicked by the Chu brothers.

The boy curled up and didn't move, allowing them to beat him.

After they felt relieved and dispersed, the young man slowly stood up and took out the flattened gift box from under his body.

It's a pink box with a beautiful bow.

I don't know what's inside.

Tang Mulin ran to the bathroom to wipe the tears from her face, then found the boy in the corner of the backyard with a smile on her face.

She held out her hands to ask for her Christmas present.

The boy looked cold and ruthlessly at the girl's pretty face, "No gift."

Then, he left without looking back.

After that, Tang Mulin never celebrated Christmas again.

Yeah, she doesn’t celebrate Christmas anyway.

What does other people’s excitement have to do with her?

Forcing himself to turn his eyes away from the window, Tang Mulin ran all the way back to the apartment.

As we passed by, I heard the housekeeper calling, "Ms. Tang, here is a gift for you, please sign for it!"
