Can I have a kiss?
New Year's Day will be right after Christmas.
At this point, everyone's mind was no longer on the final exams, but on the New Year's Eve party.
In other classes, the teacher takes the class monitor out during lunch break to buy snacks and drinks.
Chen Shengxu's class selected three boys: two day students and the class monitor.
The two day students happened to be Chen Shengxu and Yu Cihuan.
Chen Shengxu looked at the fruit and wanted to buy some, but the class funds weren't quite enough.
He said, "Class monitor, is it okay if I buy the fruit myself and we can all eat it together?"
"Can."
Then he happily pulled Yu Cihuan to buy fruit.
I bought some cherry tomatoes and cherries. Although there were only two kinds, the quantity was large.
*
The evening party begins.
The girls in the class all wore pretty little dresses.
Chen Shengxu looked at the girl singing upstairs and asked the girl sitting next to him, "Do you know what that kind of dress she's wearing is called?"
“Lolita”.
"Huh? What is that?"
The girl handed him a piece of paper and wrote it down, "This is what it's called."
"Oh, thank you," Chen Shengxu continued, "Where can I buy this dress?"
The girl opened her phone and shared several shops with him, saying, "These dresses come in authentic and counterfeit versions, so make sure you buy the right one."
"Okay, okay, I understand, thank you very much! Let me treat you to something to eat."
“No need, it’s no big deal,” she asked. “You’re thinking of buying it for your girlfriend, right?”
"Yeah, I think she looks really good in this kind of dress, it's puffy and cute."
"Uh-huh."
Chen Shengxu didn't watch the rest of the program, focusing instead on his phone.
He searched for the shops his classmate had told him about, and then he searched for posts on his own to learn more.
He initially liked a blue one and paid a deposit of 100 yuan. Then, wanting Gu Yu to wear it quickly, he spent another 288 yuan to buy a cheaper alternative in blue.
He then noticed that the model was wearing round shoes, so he started searching for posts again.
He picked out a pair: a white pair, a blue pair, and a beige pair.
He was worried that his aesthetic sense was different from Gu Yu's, so he opened the dress order and asked the female classmate again.
"Hey, do you think this one I chose looks good?"
“This looks great on you, and it will definitely look good in photos, but it would be tiring to wear if it’s not something you wear every day.”
"Which one is the everyday style?"
She searched on Chen Shengxu's phone and said, "Look, this is it. It won't be too tiring to wear normally."
"Oh, thank you, let me see."
"Actually, you can also buy a small bag to match. I'll send you the shop details."
Okay! Thank you.
Chen Shengxu spent the entire night thinking about this matter.
Everyone was happy when they got home that night.
Gu Yu will definitely like it!
He sent Gu Yu a message right at midnight: Happy New Year!
Mengmeng: [Happy New Year!]
Mengmeng: [What are your plans for tomorrow?]
Childish Kid: [No, it's probably just doing homework and playing games.]
Mengmeng: [Our class is planning to go out for dinner tomorrow, do you want to come?]
Childish Guy: [That's not a good idea, I don't know him either.]
Mengmeng: [They were the ones who suggested you come, since they haven't seen you in person before.]
Childish brat: [Okay! I'll go then.]
Mengmeng: [Okay, I'm going to sleep now~ Goodnight~]
Childish Kid: [Goodnight~]

Chen Shengxu got up early in the morning and started dressing himself up. He picked out a lot of clothes but felt they weren't handsome enough.
He didn't want Gu Yu to lose face.
Yu Cihuan was summoned to his home by a phone call.
"Hurry up and help me choose, I'm going crazy."
Yu Cihuan, speechless, began to help him.
I took a brown coat, a white turtleneck sweater, and black wide-leg pants from the closet.
"Change."
"oh."
While he was changing his clothes, Yu Cihuan went to the scarf rack on the first floor and took a brown plaid scarf.
Just wear a pair of black shoes when you go out.
"Oh, okay."
"I'm leaving."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Chen Shengxu spun around in front of the mirror several times, exclaiming, "So handsome!"
*
The appointment was for lunch, and when the time came, Chen Shengxu went to pick up Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was wearing a white coat that reached above her ankles, a black dress underneath, a black plaid scarf, and white furry cotton shoes.
All Chen Shengxu could think about was cuteness.
I habitually took the bag from her hand.
"So beautiful, Gu Yu."
You look handsome today too!
"I can't let you down."
Gu Yu took his hand. "Let's go."
The two took a taxi there.
*
When they arrived, there were already some people in the private room.
Chen Shengxu: "Hello, I am Chen Shengxu."
A girl stood up and said, "Hello, hello, please have a seat."
Gu Yu pulled Chen Shengxu to sit next to Shang Nuochu.
He immediately changed seats on the weekend and sat next to Chen Shengxu.
"Hey bro, did you dress up specially today?"
Is it obvious?
“Super obvious,” he said over the weekend, “like a peacock spreading its tail.”
"Is he handsome?"
"handsome."
"That's good," Chen Shengxu asked. "Do you have any activities planned after dinner?"
"I don't know, but I plan to leave right after I finish eating. I'm not used to being in a crowd, especially with people I dislike. Just looking at them makes me feel sick."
Chen Shengxu smiled and said, "Then I'll take Gu Yu with me after we finish eating. I'm not used to having so many people around; it makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Right, right?"
...
They chatted for about ten minutes until everyone arrived, then the class monitor stood up, said a few words, and then they started eating.
Someone offered Chen Sheng a drink.
Chen Shengxu waved his hand: "I don't know how, so forget it, you guys can drink."
I drank it myself even though the other person refused.
*
Chen Shengxu wasn't picky; he tasted these dishes but didn't like them, so he didn't eat much of them.
He asked Gu Yu in a low voice, "Do you think it tastes good?"
"It doesn't taste good."
"Then don't eat that. I'll take you to eat something else later."
"But I haven't finished eating in my bowl yet."
Chen Shengxu directly swapped her bowl with his own, saying, "When it's almost time, I'll find an excuse to take you away."
"good."
I overheard them talking over the weekend and asked, "Where are you going to eat later?"
"There's a small restaurant near my house that's really good."
"Can I have one too? I also think the food here is terrible."
"OK!"
He then turned to ask Gu Yu.
Gu Yu: "Sure, Xiao Chu was just asking me if we should go get something else to eat later."
"Then let's do it together."
"good."
*
Seeing that it was about time, Chen Shengxu stood up with Gu Yu and said, "Gu Yu and I have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality today."
The squad leader said, "Okay, you guys go first."
Chen Shengxu went out to pay the bill, but then said that someone had already paid.
He stopped caring about it.
This saves money and allows me to buy delicious food for Gu Yu.
They waited outside for a short while before Zhou Mo and Shang Nuochu came out.
Chen Shengxu: "Can we eat at that restaurant near my house?"
“No problem!” Shang Nuochu said, “I can accept anything as long as it’s better than this place.”
"Let's go then."
I took a taxi, and it only took about ten minutes.
The restaurant is small.
They went inside and found a table to sit down.
We ordered a dry pot cauliflower, boiled sliced pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a tomato and egg soup.
Shang Nuochu: "Has this store been open for many years?"
Chen Shengxu: "Yeah, it's been open since I was a kid. I sometimes order takeout from here. It's delicious and filling!"
*
The dishes were served quickly.
On the weekend, she gave a thumbs up: "Delicious! I'll order takeout from this place from now on, and switch to something else when I get tired of it."
Shang Nuochu: "Agreed. I really don't know how they found this restaurant. It's so bad."
Chen Shengxu: "That shop looks like it hasn't been open for long. I guess it won't be long before it goes out of business."
I second that proposal over the weekend.
*
After finishing their meal, Chen Shengxu paid the bill. It started snowing outside, but it was only light.
Gu Yu asked them, "Are you planning to go home or wander around?"
On the weekend, after exchanging glances with Shang Nuochu, I said, "It's too cold, let's go home, you guys go shopping."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Weekend: "Don't worry, I got her home safely."
Chen Sheng offered Gu Yu a comforting suggestion: "Let's go, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the mall, it's not cold there."
Seeing that she was shivering, Chen Shengxu said, "It's so cold? Why don't you go home?"
"No, I don't want to go home. I want to stay with you a little longer."
Chen Shengxu immediately perked up, "Then let's take a taxi to the mall."
*
On the bus.
Gu Yu transferred the money to him.
"Why would I give you money? I don't want your money."
"It wasn't me, it was Shang Nuochu who gave me the money for dinner over the weekend," Gu Yu said with a smile. "I've been taking advantage of you all this time, do you think I'd be so self-righteous as to take your money for meals?"
“Then you can keep it, you don’t need to give it to me,” Chen Shengxu returned the money. “I don’t need you to give me money for meals either. If you suddenly give me money for meals one day, I should think about whether I have done something wrong recently and made you misunderstand something.”
Wow! You're so good at reflecting on your actions!
"Of course~ There aren't many men as good as me."
"Then I can't let you go to someone else!"
"I won't give anyone else a chance either."
We arrived while chatting.
Gu Yu first ran to buy two cups of hot milk tea, "to warm myself up with a sip."
Chen Shengxu took a sip: "Wow! The power of love is so heartwarming!"
"That's unique to me."
"Now it's all mine."
Yes, yes, yes.
Gu Yu took his hand and led him to the elevator.
She said, "Let's go to the boutiques on the third floor."
"Yes, sir!"
*
Gu Yu spotted a puppy plush toy at the door. "Isn't it cute?"
"It's cute, buy it if you like it."
“No, no, no,” Gu Yu put down the doll. “You’re being too wasteful. These kinds of dolls are very cheap online.”
"It seems that from now on, we can only entrust the management of the family finances to Her Majesty."
"Don't worry about leaving it to me. When you need money, you won't have a single penny."
"Then I'll have to scrimp and save from my own allowance to buy you a small cake~ How miserable!"
Gu Yu was amused by him.
As she strolled around, she remembered something. "Are you going home for dinner tonight, or are you going to eat with me at the mall?"
"Doesn't your mother want you to come home?"
"I'll call and let them know."
Gu Yu called his mother.
"Mom, I won't be home for dinner tonight. I'll be eating out with Chen Shengxu. Don't worry about me. You should eat well while you're home alone."
Gu Yu put the phone to Chen Shengxu's mouth, and Chen Shengxu said nervously, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take Gu Yu home safely and feed her well."
Madam Gu could tell that Chen Shengxu was nervous, so she chuckled softly and said, "I know, have fun."
"Mom, I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Chen Shengxu wiped the sweat from his palms in his coat pocket and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
"Braised beef brisket".
"Then let's have stewed beef brisket."
*
Around 8 or 9 p.m., Chen Shengxu planned to take Gu Yu back.
They went down to the first floor of the mall and found that the snow was falling heavily.
Chen Shengxu: "Let's build a snowman together sometime."
"OK!"
They took a taxi home.
When they were still some distance from the residential area, Gu Yu asked the driver to stop the car.
"Let's walk for a while, it feels like it's been a long time since I've walked like this."
"good."
Chen Shengxu took her hand and put it in his pocket, then looked at Gu Yu beside him.
Half of her face was inside the scarf, and her cheekbones were red from the cold.
I suddenly stopped when I reached a tree.
Gu Yu turned to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Can I have a kiss?
Gu Yu tugged at his empty hand in his pocket for a moment, then nodded.
She closed her eyes when Chen Shengxu was fiddling with her scarf.
I only touched it once at first, and when I found that I wasn't rejected, I continued.
Gu Yu's ears were covered by Chen Shengxu, so she couldn't hear the sounds around her. All her senses were focused on her mouth.
He was holding the umbrella that Chen Shengxu had handed him when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and he lost his grip on the umbrella and dropped it.
Hearing the sound, Chen Shengxu let go of her, took a wet wipe to wipe her mouth, and then picked up the umbrella.
"Chen Shengxu, hug me for a while."
Chen Shengxu didn't speak, and neither did Gu Yu.
Actually, Chen Shengxu's hands were also a little numb, and his ears were burning hot.
It felt like an eternity before Chen Shengxu finally said, "Let's go home."
"Um."
*
After Gu Yu went inside, he looked back once more.
I saw that Chen Shengxu was walking with a limp.
He chuckled to himself, patted his face, and ran home.
