"No!" Tong Yan quickly denied it, then hooked his finger at Xu Xinduo, asking her to squat beside him, and then explained to her, "We had a big fight last time, and I'm afraid that if I can't handle it well again, we'll fight again."
"You are just a scumbag, I will give you a hand."
"Bullshit." Tong Yan was particularly unconvinced. "I was obviously giving in to you last time. Didn't you notice? You practiced in a wild way by yourself, and your body wasn't even developed. If we really started fighting, you wouldn't be as strong as me, not as skilled as me, and not as physically fit as me. If I hadn't given in to you, you would have been lying on the ground. How come you don't know my gentlemanly manners?"
Xu Xinduo squatted beside him and asked, "Are you a gentleman who would spar with a girl?"
"You're not right. Men and women often spar in class. Isn't that what Jiu-Jitsu is all about?"
"Would you like to see the gift?"
"Look! I'm looking!" Tong Yan really didn't know why he was so afraid of her.
He suddenly wondered if he had liked her before, so he was particularly afraid of her? This is not a good sign. If they are in love, wouldn’t he be dominated by his wife?
After he took out the gift, he was surprised for a moment.
Xu Xinduo made a 3D light and shadow paper sculpture lamp. The paper was carved by Xu Xinduo himself. More than ten layers of carved paper were stacked in a wooden frame. When the light was turned on, a lavender light was emitted, and a young man could be seen standing inside.
This lamp is a little thick, and actually there is a small mechanism inside. Xu Xinduo turned the handle next to her, and the light turned pink. The boy disappeared and turned into a girl wearing a long skirt with flying hair.
Xu Xinduo introduced to him: "I modified this. It was originally a couple, but I changed it to this and added this little mechanism."
Tong Yan quite liked this gift. He could see that Xu Xinduo had put a lot of effort into it.
Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan have completely different approaches.
Tong Yan always gave expensive gifts, specifically those that were hard to buy, and he would find ways to buy them for Xu Xinduo. The gifts Xu Xinduo received were rare in the world, and there were rarely any duplicates.
Xu Xinduo likes to do it by herself. The materials only cost more than 200 yuan, but the manual work takes time. Especially since Xu Xinduo added a small mechanism himself, it was even more troublesome.
Tong Yan squatted in front of the lamp and smiled as he watched for a long time before asking her, "Why did you break up the young couple?"
"Can't you see? This boy is you, and this girl is me. When you disappear, I will appear. We switch back and forth."
"Oh..." Tong Yan responded, took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the light to record a video, but was held down by Xu Xinduo.
Xu Xinduo didn't let Tong Yan post on WeChat Moments, and was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that others will see our secret?"
Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo and replied: "Even if you dare to tell others about this, they may not believe it."
"Forget it, don't take the photo, just keep it for yourself."
"Okay, this is just for me. I have to put it away quickly and hide it." Tong Yan happily put away the gift, raised his hand and took out a box from his desk and gave it to Xu Xinduo, "Here, I wanted to give it to you when I got home."
Xu Xinduo took it out and looked at it. It was actually quite uncreative. It was just a necklace.
However, Xu Xinduo didn't dare to guess how much the necklace was worth, and just put it away silently.
Xu Xinduo returned to her class before school was over. When she entered, she saw that Lou Xu had returned. She immediately handed the gift to Lou Xu.
Lou Xu had just come back and sat down to rest for a while. He was very surprised to see the gift, which was completely different from Tong Yan's initial reaction.
Lou Xu opened the box and was surprised to see the handmade Santa Claus music box inside. He asked, "Is this for me? When I saw the materials before, I thought it was for Tong Yan! Oh my God! It's so cute! So beautiful! I love it so much!"
This music box was also made by Xu Xinduo herself. The materials were bought online, and she assembled, filled and pasted them together after returning home.
Xu Xinduo doesn't make these things often, but she's quite deft with her hands, and hers are even cuter than the diagrams. Lou Xu was so pleased that he held the music box tightly and refused to let go: "What should I do? I think my gift is too lame."
"Mine is just more complicated in workmanship, but everything else is fine."
Lou Xu put down the music box, found a picture on his phone, and said, "I found an artist online who drew a cartoon of you. It's really cool. Look at the three white eyes. Isn't it super handsome? I printed this pattern on a skateboard. I'll bring the skateboard to you tomorrow."
Xu Xinduo looked at the phone and said happily: "I like it very much! This pattern is very beautiful. I guess I won't be willing to use it."
"Yeah, it's like stepping on yourself when you skateboard."
"Yes, hahahaha."
After school, Xu Xinduo returned home and saw three new messages from Lou Xu in her circle of friends.
Lou Xu: It will still move after it is opened. [Short video]
Lou Xu: This is the gift Duoduo gave me! Super cute, right? [picture]
Lou Xu: Ahhh, I’m so happy!
Xu Xinduo felt that she was healed by Lou Xu. This was the normal reaction after receiving a gift. Looking at Tong Yan again, she really felt that all her tenderness had been wasted.
After she liked all of Lou Xu's posts on WeChat Moments, she did her homework in the study room and only looked at her phone after she finished a subject.
Wei Lan: My gift is a peace apple. Did Lou Xu make it himself? Mr. Duo, did I know you before her? Are we brothers?
Xu Xinduo: I picked and wrapped the peace apples myself.
Wei Lan: Sounds very sincere?
Xu Xinduo: Bulk ones are cheaper.
Wei Lan: ...
Afterwards, she switched off and saw Tong Yan's message below, and quickly told Wei Lan: Don't tell Tong Yan, I'll reply to your message first, otherwise he will definitely be angry.
Wei Lan: Hey, hey, I suddenly feel balanced, it’s okay, I understand.
Xu Xinduo then went to check Tong Yan's message and saw that Tong Yan had sent a short video with a message: I modified your lamp, this is the correct way.
Xu Xinduo clicked on the short video and saw Tong Yan turning the handle. First a boy appeared in the light, then a girl. After the light continued to turn, the two stood side by side.
The materials she bought were originally for couples, and standing side by side like this was basically the posture of a couple. The moment Xu Xinduo saw it, her heart fluttered.
Xu Xinduo watched the short video over and over again, and suddenly threw the phone on the table, pointing at the phone and cursing: "Stinky scumbag! You flirt with me when you don't like me! I can easily misunderstand you like this! Idiot!"
After scolding, he replied in a calm tone: Oh, then you are very powerful.
The next day was Christmas. Classes were held as normal in the morning and a Christmas party was held in the afternoon.
There are many students in the school, and they enter the venue in batches, with the Rocket Class once again given priority.
When Xu Xinduo was sitting in her seat and chatting with Lou Xu, she saw Tong Yan, Wei Lan, and Su Wei sneaking over, replacing the girl next to Xu Xinduo and sitting next to her.
Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan in surprise. Lou Xu also leaned over Xu Xinduo and looked at Tong Yan, saying, "Brother Yan, this is the Rocket Class!"
Tong Yan answered confidently: "I have no shame, I will just sit here."
Lou Xu didn't care about that and just asked, "Can I take a photo of us together?"
Tong Yan now likes taking photos with Xu Xinduo very much, and immediately agreed: "Okay."
Lou Xu raised his cell phone, turned on the selfie function and pointed it at a few people.
Tong Yan saw Lou Xu's phone screen, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully before asking, "No, what's wrong with my face? It's pale, my eyes look like they're going to explode, and I'm so skinny."
Lou Xu replied aggrievedly: "It's because your face is too small."
Wei Lan looked at it and said with a smile: "Your beauty filter is turned on too high!"
Lou Xu turned off the beauty camera and took a photo of them together. The boys were very cooperative. After the filming was completed, looking at the screen, several students in the back row were actually making the Scissors Hand gesture, which made Lou Xu laugh for a long time.
Xu Xinduo turned to look at Tong Yan, who was not wearing the clothes required for the show, and immediately asked, "Where is the show you prepared?"
Lou Xu has a show, so she puts on makeup and performance clothes in advance. Tong Yan is obviously not dressed for a show.
Tong Yan sighed and said, "During the rehearsal, they said there were too many people and the stage couldn't accommodate them, so they eliminated some of them."
Xu Xinduo noticed Tong Yan's expression, which was obviously very unhappy, and subconsciously asked: "How many people were eliminated?"
Tong Yan curled his lips and replied, "I was the only one among the ten eliminated. Even that idiot Yin Shaoshu stayed. I'm so pissed off."
Xu Xinduo was surprised for a moment: "Yin Shaoshu also participated?"
"Well, he was wandering around when I was rehearsing and saw me. He asked me what show I was performing. I said Wu Song fighting a tiger. I was Wu Song. Yin Shaoshu also insisted on signing up, saying that he wanted to steal my role. In the end, we both became extras. He scolded me for several days."
Xu Xinduo started laughing after hearing this, and didn't stop laughing for a long time.
In the past, Tong Yan and Yin Shaoshu were two handsome and fierce-looking guys, school bullies. The more I watch it now, the more I think these two are fools.
Being eliminated from the extras was a big blow to Tong Yan, but Xu Xinduo, the heartless girl, was still laughing, causing Tong Yan to glare at her several times.
Xu Xinduo forced herself to hold back her laughter, tried to calm down and comforted Tong Yan, saying, "We ignored them. They have no vision. They are afraid that the extras will steal the limelight. We are also popular young actors in school. It is their selfish choice."
Tong Yan finally felt better and nodded: "Yes, that's right, you are jealous of my talent and you insist that I can't keep up with the drums."
"Oh, you can't keep up with the drums?"
“…”
"This shouldn't be the case. You studied piano, and Yin Shaoshu studied tennis. He came later than you. How could you be worse than him?"
Tong Yan's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Well, it was all in vain that I tried to coax him, this gentleman is unhappy again.
Tong Yan took a cup of oolong tea from Wei Lan, deliberately placed it in front of Xu Xinduo and said, "Do you see this cup of oolong tea?"
Then he stuck the straw in and took a sip himself: "It's gone, I drank it."
Xu Xinduo couldn't help but curse: "Childish."
Then he took the oolong tea from Tong Yan's hand, not caring that Tong Yan had drunk it before, and continued to drink it while biting the straw.
Tong Yan looked at her for a long while and then he became obedient. He leaned back in his chair and sat there quietly. He was thankful that the venue was dark enough, otherwise his blushing face would definitely be discovered.
Ah...it's just an indirect kiss, it's okay, stay calm.
