Deserving enough of you today
Chen Shengxu and Yu Cihuan, both with facial injuries, entered the police station together.
The policeman saw Chen Shengxu and said, "I remember you. What's going on with you?"
Another policeman said, "It's a fight."
"Tsk tsk tsk, reflect on your actions."
"knew."
A little while later, the policeman told them to call their parents to come and pick them up.
Not long after, Chen Shengxu's mother arrived in high heels.
She frowned, said nothing, and took the person away.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
"You're in a relationship."
Chen Shengxu's pupils constricted sharply. "Mom, I—"
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
“Your homeroom teacher called me today and said that, I don’t care when you started dating, how long you dated, or who you dated, just break up with me.”
"I won't break up."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
*
As soon as Chen Shengxu got home, he went upstairs to his room, took his clothes, and took a shower.
Then I sent a message to Gu Yu.
Childish Kid: [I can't pick you up for the next few days, be careful going home by yourself.]
Mengmeng: [What happened?]
Childish Kid: [I fell while playing basketball with Yu Cihuan today and scraped my face. It looks a bit ugly, so I don't want to show it to you.]
The video popped up the next second.
He accepted it anyway.
"Let me see how serious it is."
Chen Shengxu pointed the camera at his face; there was a bruise on his cheekbone and scratches on his neck.
Are you sure you tripped and fell?
“Okay, no,” Chen Shengxu lowered his eyes, “Yu Cihuan and I went to the court to play basketball today. We won, and then the people over there were not satisfied and came over to argue. Before we could explain things clearly, they started fighting.”
He looked up and quickly said, "But I won!"
"Have you applied the medicine?"
"Apply it later."
"Okay, you don't need to worry about me. I'll have my mom pick me up in the next few days."
"Okay, I'll hang up now and go apply the medicine."
"Um."
Chen Shengxu ran downstairs, found some iodine, disinfected the area, and that was it.
The next day, Yu Cihuan saw that he was listless.
Ask him, "What's wrong? Did your mom scold you?"
"My mom found out I'm dating someone and told me to break up with him."
You definitely won't agree, will you?
"Yes, I didn't agree, but I feel bad about it."
"I understand you, brother."
Chen Shengxu sighed, "Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now and focus on my studies."
*
After school in the evening, I saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns at the school gate, so I bought a skewer and ran to No. 3 Middle School to give it to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu reached out and touched his face. "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it should all go away in a couple more days."
"That's good."
*
He saw the lights were on inside the house, opened the door, and went inside.
Old Chen said, "Why are you back so late?"
"I chatted with my classmates for a while."
"Go and rest."
"oh."
He went up to the second floor, then turned back and asked, "Are we still going?"
"uncertain."
"oh."
*
The three of them lived like this for a few days, then his mother left, leaving only him and Old Chen at home.
He was afraid that if his father knew he was dating, he wouldn't dare to pick up Gu Yu, so he went home on time every day.
During dinner, Lao Chen asked him, "Will high school be very tiring?"
"I can adapt."
"Yes, I heard from your mom about your relationship. She wants you to break up with him because she's worried you'll hold him back and yourself. You're both too young."
"I know."
“Your mother speaks very harshly, and she can’t change, so we can only put up with it for now.”
"But I felt bad when I heard that. I felt I could handle it, and my grades hadn't dropped much. I started working hard to learn English after the last midterm exam."
Old Chen rubbed his head and said, "Dad knows you're working hard, but we're from different generations. Our views are set. Try to understand that. I've been talking to your mother about this these past few days."
"I still felt very wronged, and I felt particularly upset for those few days."
“My dear son is so upset,” Old Chen said. “What should I do to make it up to you?”
"I have no idea."
Old Chen smiled helplessly: "Your mom asked someone to buy you that game console you said you couldn't get last time. It's right outside your room. Go up and take a look after you finish eating."
Chen Shengxu's eyes lit up, "Wow!"
"Aren't you upset anymore?"
"I'm not upset anymore, I know my mom, hehe..."
"You don't need to worry about anything during this time. Just focus on your studies and dating. I'll talk to your mother about it later."
"good."
After washing the dishes, Chen Shengxu ran upstairs to play.
Old Chen called his wife: "It's been sent out, in your name."
"Tsk! Didn't I tell you to make him think you bought it? Why are you so annoying?"
“Oh dear, why are you so stubborn but soft-hearted?” Old Chen laughed. “He’s grown up now, and he should be able to handle many things on his own. If things don’t turn out well, he should take responsibility for it himself.”
"I'm afraid he'll get hurt."
“There are some things he has to go through.”
"I see."
When will you be back?
"One week later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, she received a voice message from Chen Shengxu.
"Mom, I love you!! You're so great, hahaha..."
"stupid."
*
The next day, Chen Shengxu asked Old Chen, "Can I go home a little later?"
"cannot."
"oh."
He thought to himself, "I hate my dad."
*
When Chen Shengxu returned home, he saw that a new dessert shop had opened near his house.
He went inside, picked out a small cake, and then called Yu Cihuan, asking him to come over.
Yu Cihuan: "What?"
"Give this to Gu Yu for me."
"OK."
Yu Cihuan took it and left.
Do you know where she lives?
"I know, we used to hang out together back in junior high."
"oh."
*
When Yu Cihuan arrived, she sent a message to Gu Yu, asking her to come down and pick it up.
Gu Yu: "Did he give you anything in return?"
"No, but this will definitely happen again in the future, so I'm going to scam him big time."
"Hahahahahahahaha... Okay, okay, I'll go up first."
"Yes, I'm leaving too."
*
If the moon arrives as scheduled.
As the weather got colder, they stopped making plans to go out and just stayed home, video chatting and sending messages.
Chen Shengxu still took advantage of his monthly leave to send Gu Yu some hand warmers.
He was getting ready to go back.
The security guard at the booth called out to him, "Haven't been here in a while, are you having a tiff?"
"No, my dad is home recently."
The man laughed: "Go back quickly, it's cold."
"Um."
*
In early December, Gu Yu had her period and was in terrible pain.
When Chen Shengxu found out, he bought brown sugar, boiled brown sugar water at home, put it in a thermos, and bought sanitary napkins to take to school.
When school was over, he gave it to Yu Cihuan and asked him to deliver it to Gu Yu.
"It wouldn't be right if you didn't treat me to a meal."
"Don't even mention one meal, I'd take ten."
"Okay, I'm going."
After Yu Cihuan finished delivering the gift, he spoke to Chen Shengxu.
Fish: [Is your dad not leaving?]
Chen Shengxu: [I don't know. If they haven't left by the end of the year, they probably aren't leaving.]
Fish: [So, only your parents will be home for Chinese New Year this year?]
Chen Shengxu: [I hope so.]
No sooner had he spoken than Chen Shengxu was informed by his father that he and his mother were going to another city and wouldn't be coming back for the Chinese New Year, and that he should take good care of himself this year.
He paused for only two seconds before saying, "Oh, okay, be careful on your way."
Old Chen: "Yeah, I'll bring you a gift when I get back."
After his parents passed away, he resumed his daily routine of picking up Gu Yu.
*
He saw chestnuts for sale on the road and bought twenty yuan worth.
He started peeling chestnuts while waiting for Gu Yu, and when Gu Yu came out, he took the chestnuts out of his pocket.
"In winter, we eat chestnuts. I've already peeled them, and they're still warm."
As before, Gu Yu would eat one and then feed Chen Shengxu another.
When Gu Yu got home, he still had half a bag of chestnuts left.
She shared the food with her mother.
After finishing his math homework, Gu Yu planned to read a book.
A message from Chen Shengxu popped up.
Student Chen: [What are you doing? Peeking.jpg]
My response: [Reading.]
My: [Image]
Xiao Chen: [Why are you looking at this?]
My answer: [This might come in handy for a Chinese composition.]
Student Chen: [Aww~]
Student Chen: [Will this bother you?]
Mine: [No, you can watch it anytime.]
Student Chen: [shy.jpg]
Student Chen: [I'm so bored... My parents aren't home, and suddenly no one's watching over me. I'm a little unaccustomed to it.]
My response: [You're so contradictory, lol.jpg]
My response: 【What were you doing just now?】
Student Chen: [I played games with Yu Cihuan, three rounds, and won two.]
Student Xiao Chen: [Game screenshots +3]
My comment: 【So handsome!!】
My comment: 【Wow! That's amazing!! That's a fantastic score.】
Student Chen: [Hmph, who am I! (Smug emoji)]
My message: [It's getting late, time to go to sleep.]
Student Chen: [Okay, goodnight]
My message: Goodnight><

As the weather got stronger, Chen Shengxu went to the mall to buy a scarf after taking a photography class. He saw a plush rabbit hat and scarf and bought them.
"Give it to Gu Yu tomorrow, she can't get cold."
I also brought a scarf for Yu Cihuan.
The next day, when Yu Cihuan gave the scarf to him, Yu Cihuan thought he had a fever and touched his forehead with the back of his hand.
"You don't have a fever, so why are you suddenly being so filial to your father?"
"Go to hell with you! Don't give it back to me!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you truly are my good eldest son."
Then he was struck hard on the back of the neck.
He rubbed his neck, "That was really ruthless."
"oh."
Looking at his arrogant expression, Yu Cihuan held back for a while before managing not to make a move.
When I picked up Gu Yu, I put it on her myself and said, "It's getting colder and colder lately, and the wind is strong. You should wear it when you go out so you don't get cold or catch a cold."
"Um!"
*
Christmas Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
Chen Shengxu handed the gift box of apples to Gu Yu and asked, "Am I the number one person to send you apples today?"
"The first one."
"Huh? Nobody delivered it to you? That can't be right."
"Yes, there are others, but I know you definitely want to be first, so I didn't accept any of theirs, so you'll be first."
Chen Shengxu hugged her: "You're so kind!"
“That’s right!” Gu Yu looked up at his face. “Let’s go home.”
"Time to go home!"
The next day, it started snowing in the afternoon.
Someone shouted, "It's snowing!"
Everyone looked out the window.
The snow was falling heavily, and everything outside was covered in white.
Childish Kid: [It's snowing.]
Mengmeng: [I saw it! It's snowing on Christmas Day, how romantic!]
Childish brat: [Yes!!]
That evening, when Chen Shengxu went to pick up Gu Yu, he presented her with red roses for the first time.
He opened his arms to Gu Yu, and Gu Yu ran and jumped into his arms.
He said, "Merry Christmas, Gu Yu. I hope you will always be happy and blessed."
She said, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Chen! May you always be free and successful."
She asked, "Why are the roses red today?"
"Because today is romantic, and red roses are romantic too, they are a perfect match for you today."
