Chapter 52 Snow



In order to conduct the physical examination, all the exercises during breaks in the school were suspended and the curriculum of many classes were slightly adjusted.

The rocket class that Xu Xinduo was in had finished its checkup this morning, and the only thing left was tomorrow's blood test. When it ended, it was the fourth class in the morning, and there were still ten minutes left before lunch break.

When walking back, I needed to pass through a row of boys.

There are always people making trouble in such occasions. When Xu Xinduo was walking back with Lou Xu, she heard someone calling her, "Xu Xinduo, come here."

This voice was very familiar to her. Xu Xinduo stopped and looked back. When she saw it was Tong Yan, she pulled Lou Xu over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tong Yanzhan took the medical examination form from Xu Xinduo's hand, took a quick look and asked, "Isn't your waist circumference a bit exaggerated?"

Xu Xinduo hadn't looked at the data yet, so she leaned over to look: "What's wrong? Are you fatter?"

"You are 1.75 meters tall and your waist is 57?"

Xu Xinduo asked doubtfully: "Am I fat or thin?"

Xu Xinduo's weight is over 100 pounds and currently stands at 108 pounds.

In many people's minds, a girl is fat if she weighs over 100 pounds, no matter how tall she is. Xu Xinduo doesn’t know much about her weight. She thinks she wants to be a model in the future, but she doesn’t know whether this weight is acceptable or not.

Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo helplessly and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Why can't I feed you fat?"

Xu Xinduo took the list back and looked at it himself.

Tong Yan said to Lou Xu: "Lou Xu, tell her what a normal waist circumference should be."

Lou Xu felt that she was being blamed. Reporting the data in this situation would be like being publicly exposed. She pretended to be calm and answered, "I'm fifty!"

After answering, Wei Lan laughed, and Lou Xu glared at Wei Lan several times.

Well, she's sixty-five.

Tong Yan glanced at Lou Xu and said nothing, and continued to talk to Xu Xinduo: "With your height and frame, you have to be over 60 to be considered normal."

Xu Xinduo took Tong Yan's medical examination form and took a look at it, then looked at Tong Yan pointing at his weight and said, "Look at your weight yourself. How dare you say that to me? You are just skin and bones."

Tong Yan was dissatisfied: "Don't you know what my body shape is?"

After saying this, Wei Lan quickly pushed Tong Yan forward, coughing continuously.

Tong Yan and Xu Xinduo finally reacted. After Xu Xinduo returned Tong Yan's medical examination form, he took Lou Xu and continued walking.

Lou Xu looked at Xu Xinduo's red earlobes and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You guys are developing... so smoothly?"

Xu Xinduo immediately retorted: "No!"

Lou Xu took out his phone and sent a photo to Xu Xinduo, then said, "It's so bad that you still don't fall in love."

Xu Xinduo was very puzzled: "Is it immoral not to fall in love?"

"Yes, two people of peak looks are having an ambiguous relationship. You occupy him, he occupies you, and you two are never together. Isn't that a waste of resources? As long as you separate for a little bit, and there are signs that your relationship is not going well, there will be people chasing you and him. Do you believe it?"

Xu Xinduo retorted in a low voice: "I didn't occupy him."

Lou Xu picked up his phone and showed her the photo again: "Holding hands is ambiguous. Either he is a scumbag, or you are a scumbag, or both of you are immoral. You decide which one you want to choose."

“Heresy.”

"I think Tong Yan is just flirting with you. Is he forcing you to confess your feelings?"

"Impossible, if he likes me, I can't not know it."

"..." Lou Xu looked at Xu Xinduo and couldn't help but complain in his heart, you just don't know!

When they returned to the classroom, they saw a group of girls gathered together to choose dresses. Li Xinning was among them, and it seemed that they were helping Li Xinning choose.

After taking a look, Lou Xu whispered to Xu Xinduo, "Chen Zhuhang's birthday is coming soon, and Li Xinning probably wants to outshine him."

Xu Xinduo was puzzled: "Chen Zhuhang's fiancée is Mu Qingyao, why is she so prepared? Moreover, Mu Qingyao seemed to have heard their discussions, and her expression was not very good."

Teacher Lou's small class started again. She took Xu Xinduo to the corridor outside and sat on the stairwell to talk to Xu Xinduo about this matter: "Last time, Mu Qingyao and Gu Jue were ambiguous, Li Xinning was upset and probably wanted to fight back."

After hearing this, Xu Xinduo's expression was clearly like that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. She asked doubtfully, "But, Gu Jue is not Li Xinning's boyfriend."

"Li Xinning's personality is just like that. She and Gu Jue were about to be together, but Mu Qingyao came out to mess things up. Li Xinning felt uncomfortable and had to fight back. This is a contest between two green teas, and neither of them would give in. The relationship between Li Xinning and Shen Zhuhang has remained the same. Mu Qingyao also knows that she can no longer control it, and she doesn't have the confidence to do so."

Xu Xinduo really couldn't understand the war between women. She didn't know if it was because she and Tong Yan had been swapped for a long time, and there were mostly boys around her, and her way of doing things was a bit more boyish, so she didn't understand these little thoughts?

She rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while, then asked, "They won't fight, will they?"

Lou Xu shook his finger and said solemnly, "NONONO, fighting is the way boys solve problems. Girls have more diverse ways of solving problems. Besides, they don't bite people, which is annoying."

"Seeing that she is not doing well, I am happy too." Xu Xinduo suddenly sneered.

Lou Xu continued, "Mu Qingyao and Li Xinning have been at odds for a long time, and neither of them is very honest. It's quite interesting to watch them bite each other. So, it's not surprising that Mu Qingyao treats you like that. She is that kind of person. I always feel that she is just being honest for a while, maybe she is holding back bad intentions. One is you, and the other is Li Xinning. She hates both of them in her heart."

Xu Xinduo also felt annoyed: "I'm not afraid of provoking gentlemen, I'm just afraid of being hated by villains."

"Yes, especially since you are living such a good life now, I think Mu Qingyao must be envious."

"well."

I don't want to be enemies, but the relationship is awkward.

But if they were not honest, Xu Xinduo would not be bullied all the time, after all, Xu Xinduo was not a good person.

Chen Zhuhang's birthday party was in mid-December, and Xu Xinduo and the others didn't go that day. After all, Chen Zhuhang's popularity had been a bit bad recently. Only Lou Xu had to go because of the friendship between the two families.

When Lou Xu went there, he was very excited, thinking that Li Xinning might do something weird, but it turned out that this person was very honest and did nothing, just like an ordinary classmate.

The same goes for Chen Zhuhang. Many people come to the birthday party, including parents from both families. Chen Zhuhang behaves very appropriately throughout the whole process, and he and Mu Qingyao also stay together throughout the whole process.

In such occasions, Mu Qingyao's performance was still very decent. After all, she was well educated since childhood and she could behave well and was generous. She was smiling throughout the whole process, and she and Shen Zhuhang held hands to welcome guests and danced with Shen Zhuhang.

This time, the birthday party will definitely be opened by the two of them.

Lou Xu yawned as he watched, mainly because apart from Mu Qingyi, there were no handsome guys among the guests, and Shao Qinghe didn't even come. Mu Qingyi also left after going through the motions. She sat alone in the corner, which was really boring.

She complained to Xu Xinduo through messages for a while, then left.

So, Lou Xu naturally didn't know what happened afterwards.

Mu Qingyao felt a little tired and sat in the lounge to rest. Shen Zhuhang came in to change clothes, and seeing Mu Qingyao was also here, he took the clothes and went to the inner room.

The two of them were lovers and usually never avoided each other, but at this time, Chen Zhuhang began to avoid suspicion.

Mu Qingyao felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

Shen Zhuhang walked out and said coldly: "If you are tired, just rest here, I'll go out."

Mu Qingyao called Shen Zhuhang, took out two invisible band-aids from her bag, squatted in front of Shen Zhuhang to help him take off his shoes, and said, "New shoes rub your feet. I'll put something on you."

Chen Zhuhang looked down at Mu Qingyao and did not refuse. After letting her help him put it on, he turned around and prepared to walk out.

Mu Qingyao suddenly hugged Shen Zhuhang's waist from behind: "Don't be angry, okay? I deleted all the boys' accounts on WeChat, and I will never contact them again."

Shen Zhuhang paused for a moment, his expression a little annoyed, but he still said: "We will still get married, don't worry."

"But I don't want you to be mad at me. Can we be like before?"

"Well, let's talk again in a couple of days. I have other things to do now."

Mu Qingyao had no choice but to let go of her hand and let Shen Zhuhang walk out.

When Shen Zhuhang was talking to his parents outside, he saw Shen's mother looking around, and then asked: "Xu Xinduo is not here?"

"I heard that she moved out of the Mu family and has no contact with them anymore."

Mother Shen was quite surprised: “Why, you don’t want to be an adopted daughter anymore?”

"Well, Xu Xinduo has a good relationship with the Tong family."

"Yes, I was with Yin Huan last time."

Shen Zhuhang was about to leave when he suddenly heard Shen's mother ask him, "What do you think of Xu Xinduo?"

"I don't get along with her."

"That's not a problem. I've seen you and Yaoyao being at odds with each other lately, so I know that the relationship between you two isn't very good."

Shen Zhuhang lowered his head, thought for a while and asked: "What about Li Xinning..."

"Her family's business has nothing to do with ours. She can't help at all. Don't worry about her."

"Are you interested in Xu Xinduo?"

"I've been feeling uncomfortable lately, thinking that a girl that Yin Huan likes must be extremely outstanding. I found out that Xu Xinduo and the boy from the Tong family are not dating..."

Shen Zhuhang immediately shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, it's too much."

Shen Zhuhang felt ashamed when he thought about how he had once shouted at Xu Xinduo, saying that there was no possibility between them.

Especially when thinking of Xu Xinduo's arrogant look, Tong Yan still hasn't caught up with her, so it's even more impossible for him to do so. Li Xinning could still think about it, but for Xu Xinduo, it was probably impossible.

From the way Xu Xinduo looked at him, it was clear that Xu Xinduo looked down on him and even felt disgusted with him.

Although he was clearly feeling very angry, he had to admit that at first he thought Xu Xinduo was not presentable and was an adopted daughter. Now, gradually, he began to admit that Mu Qingyao was far inferior to Xu Xinduo.

He felt angry every time he thought about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He probably wouldn't see them again after graduation.

After the birthday party, Shen Zhuhang sent Mu Qingyao home. When he was about to go home, he received a message from Li Xinning: I haven't left yet, are you coming back?

When Shen Zhuhang saw the news, he was stunned and immediately took a car back to the birthday party venue.

After the birthday party, the place was still a mess. The staff would not clean up the venue until tomorrow, after all, the Shen family’s belongings had not been completely taken away. Only after it is taken away can you clean up.

Chen Zhuhang searched in the mess and finally saw Li Xinning squatting in the corner waiting for him.

She looked up at Shen Zhuhang and asked aggrievedly, "Why did you turn off the air conditioner right after the birthday party? It's so cold."

Shen Zhuhang came over and stood in front of her, and asked helplessly: "Who knew there would be an idiot who would stay here and not leave?"

Li Xinning snorted and continued, "Everyone was here before, and I didn't want to cause you trouble, so I didn't dare to talk to you, so I stayed here to wait for you."

Shen Zhuhang walked over, took off his coat and put it on Li Xinning's shoulders, and said helplessly: "You don't have to wait for me, I will definitely send Yaoyao off."

Li Xinning suddenly got angry and shouted, "I know, you don't have to remind me on purpose!"

"Shall I take you home?"

"I want to dance with you, okay? After all, it's your birthday. I couldn't be your dance partner before, so I just want to realize this idea now."

Shen Zhuhang hesitated for a while, but still stood up to adjust the equipment himself. The music started with the first piece, which was the music for the opening dance tonight.

Li Xinning came over and waited for Shen Zhuhang to invite her.

Shen Zhuhang reached out and took Li Xinning's hand and danced with Li Xinning.

Li Xinning's dress today looks very beautiful. It is a white dress with diamonds inlaid on the skirt, which sparkles when she walks.

She was good-looking to begin with, and was considered a popular little star in school, at least prettier than Mu Qingyao, but not as stunning as Xu Xinduo.

Such girls will make people feel refreshed after a little dressing up.

Shen Zhuhang held her waist, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily when he looked into her eyes.

Li Xinning was smiling the whole time and seemed very happy to be able to dance with him. The two of them worked very well together and it didn't feel like it was their first collaboration at all.

After the dance, Li Xinning suddenly let go of Shen Zhuhang, gave him a quick kiss on the lips, then turned around and ran away.

Chen Zhuhang looked at Li Xinning in surprise as he ran away, but he still followed her and met Li Xinning in the storage room as she just came out with her coat.

"I'll take you home." Shen Zhuhang also put on his coat, reached out and took her hand, and led her out.

Li Xinning seemed very flustered, but she did not let go of Shen Zhuhang's hand and followed Shen Zhuhang out.

Chen Zhuhang sent Li Xinning to the door of her house, and the two got out of the car together. Li Xinning looked at Chen Zhuhang and said hesitantly, "Then I'll go back..."

"Um."

Li Xinning had only taken two steps when Shen Zhuhang suddenly caught up with her, pulled her around, and then held her cheek and kissed her.

A long kiss, hard to let go.

After they separated, Li Xinning and Shen Zhuhang said goodbye and then returned home. When he opened the door, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face any longer, and his smile was a little mocking: "You are so young to play with me, little bitch. I think you should just forget about your engagement."

Xu Xinduo went to see Grandma Xu on Thursday night, but still didn't dare to tell her that she had moved out of the Mu family.

In Grandma Xu's opinion, the Mu family is Xu Xinduo's biological parents after all. She can feel at ease with her biological parents, and it is justified even if she is raised by her family.

Xu Xinduo didn't dare to say that she was wronged, or that she had moved out and was struggling to make money, otherwise Grandma Xu would definitely worry.

Grandma Xu is like that. She doesn’t say it, but she gets anxious and angry.

Every time Xu Xinduo was ill, you could see Grandma Xu getting irritated and getting blisters at the corners of her mouth. Xu Xinduo understood Grandma Xu and could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Grandma Xu is old and knows that these are useless. She also complains that she can't help Xu Xinduo.

In fact, in comparison, Xu Xinduo certainly likes to live with Grandma Xu, but there is really no other way.

When she walked out of the nursing home, she saw Tong Yan waiting for her.

She walked over and asked Tong Yan: "Do you want to go see grandma?"

"Forget it, grandma is going to sleep at this time, and I came to see her yesterday." Tong Yan said, and walked to Xu Xinduo and walked back with her.

On the way back, Xu Xinduo was a little silent, leaning against the back of the chair without saying a word.

Tong Yanzhan reached out and held Xu Xinduo's hand, comforting her: "Okay, you are already very good. You have already started to make money at such a young age. Don't worry, take your time."

Xu Xinduo thought about Lou Xu's words, and seemed to pull her hand back inadvertently, trying not to be so ambiguous with Tong Yan, and then said: "It will be fine in a month, and I can take the job."

Tong Yan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xu Xinduo pulling his hand away, so he replied listlessly: "Oh, then your training was quite quick."

"I am anxious."

Tong Yan didn't know what to say. He started to feel unhappy when Xu Xinduo took his hand away.

After the driver drove the car to Tong Yan's villa, Tong Yan dragged Xu Xinduo out of the car. Xu Xinduo was very confused and said, "I have to go to my mother's place."

"Can't you stay with me for a while?!" Tong Yan turned around and looked at her and asked.

"What's wrong with you? Do you need someone to accompany you?"

"You can even walk the dog with me. COCO misses you too."

"COCO is not familiar with this body of mine, and my mom has made an appointment with a teacher to come over, so I have to go back quickly."

“Let them come to me and do it.”

"Tong Yan, why are you becoming more and more unreasonable? Your mood is so changeable."

Tong Yan felt very aggrieved, he just wanted to stay with Xu Xinduo for a while.

Xu Xinduo carried her bag, turned around and walked towards Yin Huan's villa, intending to walk back.

Tong Yan immediately stopped her and told her to go call COCO.

After that, the two of them went to Yin Huan's place together while walking the dog, and Xu Xinduo finally agreed. However, when they were walking the dog together, no one spoke, they just walked with their heads down, and the atmosphere was extremely subtle.

It started snowing on the way back. The snowflakes were falling softly and lightly. When they first started to fall, they were already huge snowflakes.

Tong Yan held the dog leash with a serious expression, but still walked to Xu Xinduo's side and raised his hand to help her put on her hat, and then continued to walk the dog.

Xu Xinduo glanced at Tong Yan and said to him, "I've had dinner with grandma and went upstairs to take care of her. You..."

Tong Yan replied unhappily: "Don't worry, I won't die by myself."

I just feel unhappy.

In the end, Xu Xinduo really went upstairs, leaving Tong Yan standing alone in the snow with COCO.

Tong Yan looked at the door in silence for a while, then walked back with COCO. After walking for a while, he simply squatted aside and looked at COCO. The snowflakes fell on Tong Yan's hair, crystal clear and white, dampening his spirit a little.

The snowflakes that fall on your cheeks will melt quickly and feel cool.

He stared at COCO for a while and then started talking to the dog: "Do you think Dad is moody? I just like her and want her to accompany me. I am unhappy when she doesn't accompany me. Am I wrong?"

COCO sat very straight, looking at Tong Yan with an innocent face, as if she didn't quite understand what Tong Yan was saying.

Even if she didn't understand, COCO still listened attentively.

Tong Yan continued, "Dad wants to find you a mother, the one just now, but Dad doesn't dare to express his feelings for fear of being beaten."

"Your mother is too straightforward. She is so straightforward that it's impossible to tease her at all. It's like she can't understand any hints. Is she mentally deficient?"

"What do you think I like about her?"

"Dad wasn't like this before. He used to be happy every day. But after he fell in love with her, he became unhappy every day."

"Well, as long as she's not with dad, dad will be unhappy. If dad can't catch her within a year, your mom will become dad's sister, your aunt. Oh, it's so hard for me..."

"Why is it so difficult to like someone?"

COCO finally responded: "Woof!"

Tong Yan looked at COCO and quickly asked, "You are encouraging Dad, right?"

COCO: “Woof!”

Tong Yan touched COCO's head and said, "Dad didn't raise you in vain. If you bark once, Dad will catch you. If you bark twice, Dad won't be able to catch you. Come."

“Woof woof!”

“…”

“Woof woof!”

"Forget it, I don't want this dog anymore." Tong Yan threw the dog leash, stood up and walked back.

COCO followed Tong Yan, holding the dog leash in her mouth, and walked by herself with a cheerful pace.

On Friday, the physical examination of Jiahua International School was completely completed, but because of the heavy snow, the content of the physical exercise after the team gathered during the break was changed from radio gymnastics to running laps.

There are many students in the school, so this kind of running circle is almost connected between classes, and is divided into large and small circles.

The unfairness is revealed at this time, because the school stipulates that no matter whether it is a big circle or a small circle, one must run two laps.

Xu Xinduo leaned over to take a look and found that the international class was running in a small circle, while the regular class and rocket class were running in a large circle.

The students in the Rocket Class complained bitterly, but they had no choice but to endure it.

After two laps of running, the team gathered on the playground, and the leader stood on the podium and announced: "Next, the whole school will have a snowball fight."

There was an immediate cheer in the playground.

Tong Yan frowned subconsciously when he heard the news. After the team disbanded, he took Wei Lan and Su Wei to look for Xu Xinduo all over the playground. Xu Xinduo is afraid of the cold, and she would definitely not be able to bear being hit by a snowball.

Obviously, he was still angry with Xu Xinduo yesterday, but today he had to take the initiative to go to her and protect her.

Alas, Tong Yan discovered that his current principle was just three words: Xu Xinduo.

It's all up to her.

When the three of them walked together, it was like they had their own barrier, and no one dared to ignore them.

Tong Yan walked to the Rocket Class unimpeded. Seeing Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu dodging the attack, Tong Yan immediately said, "Why don't you come over?"

Xu Xinduo immediately ran towards Tong Yan, and the moment she stood beside Tong Yan, she was safe.

Tong Yan raised his hand to pat the snow off her head, and then said in a deep voice: "Come on, I'll take you back to the teaching building."

Lou Xu happily followed them.

When Xu Xinduo was about to enter the teaching building, he saw a person. At first, he couldn't recognize who the person was who was almost covered in snow, but the moment he heard the voice, he recognized it. It was Liu Yating.

Xu Xinduo immediately walked towards Liu Yating, helped Liu Yating block several snowballs that were attacking her, and at the same time helped Liu Yating brush off the snow on her head and collar.

Liu Yating stood there, at a loss as to what to do with the snow, and let Xu Xinduo help her sort it out. When she finally regained her sight, she was startled to see that it was Xu Xinduo.

Then she heard Xu Xinduo ask her: "Who did it?"

Liu Yating was stunned by the attack. She usually had a bad temper, but she was also a carefree girl, and many boys liked to play with her. This group of boys really went too far today. Several boys surrounded her together and didn't let her go even when she ran to the door.

Liu Yating pointed at a few boys not far away and said, "It's them."

Xu Xinduo looked back coldly, then said to Tong Yan and the others: "Let's go and bury them."

Tong Yan and the others didn't want to intervene. If Tong Yan intervened, it would easily cause Liu Yating to misunderstand again. But Xu Xinduo spoke, so they followed Xu Xinduo.

Tong Yan didn't want Xu Xinduo to touch the snow, but he couldn't stop Xu Xinduo, so he could only borrow a pair of gloves from someone and give them to Xu Xinduo.

Then, Liu Yating saw Xu Xinduo and the others really buried those boys in the snow. She felt relieved and ran over to scoop up the snow to "add to the fun".

After burying a few boys, Xu Xinduo took off his gloves and walked over to ask Liu Yating: "Are you cold?"

Liu Yating's hands were frozen red, and she mumbled in response, "My hands are frozen."

Xu Xinduo hesitated for a moment, held Liu Yating's hands and blew air on them, which actually made Liu Yating's face blush. He obviously didn't like Xu Xinduo very much, and the two of them were even rivals in love, but in the end he didn't reject her.

Tong Yan stood aside and watched with a little envy. He also stretched out his hand and said to Xu Xinduo: "My hands are frozen too."

Xu Xinduo gave the gloves to Tong Yan without hesitation: "Put them on."

Tong Yan fell silent while holding the gloves: "..."
