Chapter 23 Into the Arms



Tong Yan tied the belt neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if he was a little unaccustomed to tying it for others. Relying on his tall stature, he pulled Xu Xinduo into his arms and lowered his head to watch him tie it for her.

Xu Xinduo is 175 cm tall, and Tong Yan is 188 cm tall, 13 cm taller than Xu Xinduo.

Leaning in Tong Yan's arms, Xu Xinduo felt a little uncomfortable. She didn’t feel anything during the fight just now, but when they stopped, she suddenly smelled the fragrance of Tong Yan.

Tong Yan never sprays perfume on himself, but his servants always place incense in his closet, using very traditional techniques. The fragrance is long-lasting but not too strong, light and very pleasant.

Tong Yan carries this smell all year round.

After she calmed down, she asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by me being fickle?"

Tong Yan answered confidently: "Didn't we have three rules? No romance! What are you doing flirting with others? If I were inside you, and a man was next to me, holding my hand, and even kissing me, I would beat him until he had no children."

"I don't have any thoughts. I just feel that he and Mu Qingyi are familiar with each other, and I don't want the gift to fail again."

It’s still Tong Yan’s fault.

If Tong Yan hadn't obviously disliked the gift she gave him, she wouldn't have panicked and thought of asking Shao Qinghe.

Tong Yan helped her fasten her belt, released her, and walked out with her, saying, "I sent something to your home."

"What?"

"The dress, to match the watch."

"Wear a dress… and a watch?"

"I want you to wear that watch! I'll pick you up at home later, just wait for me."

When the two walked out of the classroom, Wei Lan and Su Wei were waiting for them. They were going to the men's locker room, while Xu Xinduo went to the women's locker room.

After entering the men's locker room, Wei Lan sighed with a heavy heart: "Brother Yan, if you like me, then give up."

In a sense, Wei Lan was still pursuing Xu Xinduo. Seeing his brother and Xu Xinduo alone in a room, he couldn't help but think too much, and finally he decided to give in.

Tong Yan replied while changing clothes: "It's not that I like it, I just think you can't catch up."

"Oh, okay, I give up, I quit, from now on I'm just an assist."

Tong Yan looked back at Wei Lan and felt that Wei Lan would definitely do a lot of weird things, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he just ignored it and let it go.

After school, Xu Xinduo asked Deyu to drive to the mall. She looked up a place before coming and went straight there when she arrived.

This is a classic shop that specializes in things like the four treasures of the study.

Xu Xinduo walked around for a while and saw that she could make her own fans, so she asked for the four treasures of the study in the store, held the brush in one hand, and wrote a verse on the fan with a brush: There are not many frozen flowers, and the trees are even more lonely; a frosty moon shines on the stream, and it is clear and withered.

From "Plum Blossoms".

I really can't think of what to write, so I'll just write this sentence, which roughly fits Mu Qingyi's pure and simple image.

While Xu Xinduo was writing, the shop owner was watching from the side, and then he sighed: "The little girl's handwriting is really good. She must have practiced for many years, right?"

Xu Xinduo did not deny it: "Well, it started when I was seven."

“He really has a solid foundation.”

Afterwards, Xu Xinduo went to choose the four treasures of the study as a gift.

Xu Xinduo was really at her wit's end. She was really not good at giving gifts.

After Xu Xinduo came to the Mu family, the Mu family gave Xu Xinduo a card for living expenses. Xu Xinduo once went to the bank to swipe the card. The amount he paid was not much, with only 200,000 yuan in the card.

Father Mu had said before that the family would give Xu Xinduo living expenses every month, and the three children would get the same amount.

After checking the four treasures of the study today, Xu Xinduo saw that there was an extra 50,000 yuan in the card. He estimated that the Mu family gave the child 50,000 yuan a month for living expenses.

To be honest, for a family like the Mu family, 50,000 yuan a month for a child's living expenses is a bit too little.

But for a child like Xu Xinduo who has experienced hardships, this is enough.

For example, Tong Yan has at least tens of millions of yuan in his card, plus the money given by his family or other relatives, it is no big deal for him to buy a house or a motorcycle occasionally.

Tong Yan's minimum monthly living expenses are 500,000 yuan. This is because Tong Yan got into a fight and got into trouble. His family was so angry that they decided to punish Tong Yan severely. They said they would give him 500,000 yuan a month and see how he lived!

There is really a sharp contrast between the two companies.

The four treasures of the study that Xu Xinduo bought for Mu Qingyi, including the fan bones and production costs, cost a total of more than 90,000 yuan. Xu Xinduo had bought a lot of daily necessities before, and the remaining money in the card was suddenly tight.

This fan is homemade, and the fan cover is given as a gift, but the fan bones are very particular, and Xu Xinduo also chose good ones, so the price is higher.

After buying all these, Xu Xinduo sat in the car and set up a text message reminder for the card. However, to set up a text message reminder, he needed to take his ID card to the counter to process it, so Xu Xinduo gave up.

She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes for a short while. When she got home, there were not many people around. The birthday party was held in a banquet hall in the community. The Mu family had already decorated the venue, and many people in the family were now helping out at the venue.

When Xu Xinduo returned to the room, she saw a huge box on the bed. When she opened it, she saw that it was a dress, which should have been sent by Tong Yan.

When she picked up the dress, she felt it was very heavy. She took it to the mirror to measure it, couldn't help laughing, and then put on the dress.

In order to match the night star watch, Tong Yan prepared a blue dress for Xu Xinduo, which was inlaid with sparkling diamonds and sparkled when she moved.

The dress looks like a tube top, but it actually has transparent shoulder straps. The back is also made of the same transparent material, embroidered with intricate floral and vine patterns. It looks like a tattoo on a beautiful back, showing the back without exposing it.

This dress was obviously carefully chosen by Tong Yan, showing off all of Xu Xinduo's advantages, including her slender neck, beautiful collarbone and right-angled shoulders. There is also the butterfly back and the dimples on the waist.

The dress is hip-hugging and flares out into an A-shape at the thigh, highlighting the curves of the whole body.

She felt she didn't need any jewelry.

This dress is sparkly enough.

She put on her skirt and someone knocked on the door to come in to help her with her makeup. After she sat down, she asked the makeup artist: "Have they all gone yet?"

"No, my colleague was next door helping your sister with her makeup. Only your brother went there, and he didn't need to put on any makeup at all."

"oh."

"You look a lot like your brother, but I'd better put some eyeshadow and lipstick on you and put your hair up, okay?"

"good."

Xu Xinduo was a little late because she went to choose gifts. After she finished putting on makeup, she found that Mu Qingyao had already gone to the venue.

She didn't have a suitable jacket to match the dress, so she just put on a coat at random, holding the gift for Mu Qingyi in her hand, and got into Deyu's car again.

She was wearing high heels, which made it inconvenient for her to walk. When she arrived at the venue, she did not walk fast. After she walked in, she saw that many people were already there.

The birthday party had just started for twenty minutes, and the protagonist was in the middle. Xu Xinduo did not go in, but waited for the warm-up host to finish speaking and stood in the corner the whole time.

When the warm-up was over, someone noticed Xu Xinduo. At this time, she had found a place to sit quietly.

Lu Renjia came over and took the initiative to talk to Xu Xinduo: "Why are you wearing such a funny coat? What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable wearing a dress for the first time?"

Xu Xinduo answered fairly friendly: "I'm more afraid of the cold."

She is really afraid of cold, and she needs to wear thick clothes when the weather is a little cooler. It was already the end of October and the weather was getting cooler. She had no underwear under her skirt and she still hadn't warmed up after entering the venue for so long.

Mu Qingyao came over at this time, seemingly to help Xu Xinduo save the situation: "You're here, I didn't notice you just now, take off your coat, it's not appropriate, just give it to the waiter."

Xu Xinduo didn't insist, nodded in agreement, put the gift on the chair and took off his coat.

The moment she stood up, Mu Qingyao subconsciously took a step back.

Xu Xinduo was tall to begin with, and now she was wearing high heels, her height seemed to have exceeded 1.8 meters.

In addition, Xu Xinduo already had a beauty that overwhelmed the entire audience, and she was wearing a sufficiently gorgeous dress. It seemed that if anyone got closer to Xu Xinduo, they would become a foil.

She had a striking figure, and the diamond-encrusted dress she wore looked like a starry sky at night, but it was just a foil for her. What is truly beautiful is her as a person.

Her skin was as white as the finest white jade, and because of the previous cold weather, a layer of warmth was applied to her shoulders. With such classy cheeks and a figure like this, it's hard not to stand out.

There were many people present who didn't know Xu Xinduo. After Mu Qingyao, the protagonist, came over, they all looked over here and asked in surprise who this girl was.

Mu Qingyao changed the subject at this time, pointed at the box on the chair and said, "Is this a gift for me?"

There were two gift boxes, and Mu Qingyao felt that one should be hers.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xinduo did not give her face and said with a smile: "No, it's for my brother."

The scene immediately became awkward.

Xu Xinduo was like this, and the fact that she had not been forgiven could not be concealed.

Mu Qingyi also came over at this time and asked Xu Xinduo: "Why didn't you wear the chosen one?"

In Mu Qingyi's opinion, Xu Xinduo's dress... was a bit too revealing...

What a disgrace! !

"I think it's pretty." Xu Xinduo replied and pointed at the box, "A birthday present for you."

Mu Qingyao said to Mu Qingyi in a coquettish tone: "My sister didn't give me anything, can I see what she gave me?"

Instead, I will find a way out for myself.

Mu Qingyi was unwilling to do so, but as the others started to make a fuss, Mu Qingyi still opened the box and took out the four treasures of the study, and then the fan.

Mu Qingyi unfolded the fan and took a look at it before asking, "Did you write this?"

"Um."

“Nice handwriting.”

Mu Qingyi has a very weird personality and rarely compliments others. This is a rare compliment.

Shao Qinghe was more interested in calligraphy and tea ceremony. He took the fan, took a look at it, and said with a smile, "You are very particular about your choice, and your calligraphy is also good. You usually write in the Slender Gold style, and your running script is not bad either. It would be great if you could learn some tea ceremony. You should come to the tea ceremony class more often."

Mu Qingyi looked at Shao Qinghe and always felt that this good friend who loved gossip was recently keen on studying his sister, which was not a good idea.

Nothing good will happen if Shao Qinghe targets you.

Mu Qingyao didn't know since when Xu Xinduo had such a good relationship with these two people, and she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Xu Xinduo didn't even give her face at her birthday party. Didn't she just do the superficial work?
