Christmas Eve.
The school gate was filled with all sorts of small gifts, but most of them were "peace apples" (a traditional Chinese gift symbolizing good fortune).
Many young couples held apples for good luck, held hands, and whispered sweet nothings to each other.
Around this time of year, nearby milk tea shops and coffee shops are always packed with customers.
Because these kinds of shops are always very good at decorating their stores, with all sorts of creative Christmas ideas displayed inside, everyone likes to buy a cup of milk tea and sit inside to experience the different holiday atmosphere.
Just like the milk tea shop that Ji Mushu had arranged to meet, it was mostly filled with couples.
Why do I say "basically"? Because Ji Mushu had just walked in, and she became the only person in this milk tea shop who wasn't a couple.
"Feng Linhao, is there something wrong with the wooden comb?"
Hao Xinqing watched Ji Mushu walk into the milk tea shop, somewhat worried, "Have you seen that girl before?"
"I've met you."
Feng Linhao nodded, "But it's not as pretty as a wooden comb."
"Then compared to me, who's prettier?"
Hao Xinqing was thinking about something and also wanted to confirm Chen Zhixi's appearance, but she didn't have any deeper meaning.
Unfortunately, Feng Linhao was a straightforward man who couldn't express himself well. He carefully examined Hao Xinqing.
She has a pretty face and is a cheerful and generous girl, but in terms of looks... Chen Zhixi seems to be prettier.
So the fool told the truth, "Maybe that girl is a little prettier, you two aren't the same type."
"oh."
Hao Xinqing nodded, "Alright then, since the wooden comb won't let us in, I'll head back first."
"or..."
Feng Linhao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Hao Xinqing turned to look at the chubby little boy, "Aren't you going back?"
"How about... we both go for a walk outside and wait for the wooden comb to come out?"
It took Feng Linhao a long time to squeeze out this sentence.
"Oh well."
Hao Xinqing smiled and said, "Anyway, it's no fun for me to go back alone. Let's go."
Christmas songs were playing in the milk tea shop, and bells were placed everywhere, making a pleasant sound whenever someone entered or left.
Ji Mushu sat down by the window, waved to Hao Xinqing outside, and watched the two leave together, resting her chin on her hand.
At 7 o'clock sharp, Chen Zhixi arrived on time.
Merry Christmas, Chen.
Ji Mushu took the initiative to greet him, appearing very enthusiastic.
Chen Zhixi nodded and sat down opposite Ji Mushu, sizing her up.
Wearing a light pink wool coat and a pair of loose black casual pants, which swayed as she walked and allowed wind to easily get in, Ji Mushu wore long cotton socks underneath and a pair of somewhat heavy cotton shoes.
Her face was lightly made up, as if she had spent a long time getting ready for this scene, even the eyeliner at the corner of her eyes looked so delicate.
Chen Zhixi's complexion was slightly gloomy, but she quickly returned to normal.
I knew there was a difference in their looks, but we can make up for it in other ways.
She came today to sow discord between the two of them.
We can't lose!
As she was sizing up Ji Mushu, Ji Mushu was also sizing her up.
She had secretly compared herself to Dong Yike back in high school, and they were evenly matched.
But now, compared to Chen Zhixi, she seems to have the upper hand.
"Junior Chen, what brings you here today?"
Ji Mushu tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear, inserted the straw into her milk tea, and sipped the fruit pieces.
Chen Zhixi looked closely at Ji Mushu and asked with a smile, "Senior Ji, it's Christmas Eve today, isn't Senior Yu going to spend time with you?"
"He has a contract to discuss, and I also have something to do today."
The milk tea shop was brightly lit, and the orange light shone on Ji Mushu's gentle face, making her look as charming as a blooming flower. In particular, the shimmering eyeshadow on her fluttering eyelashes added to her sweetness.
She wasn't very confident before entering the bubble tea shop.
However, Ji Mushu noticed that when the two of them talked about Yu Mobai, her confidence seemed to return.
"Did you have something to talk about, or did you go out with other girls?"
Chen Zhixi felt the conversation between the two was a bit too mild, so she decided to escalate it: "He never spends time with you, why don't you break up with him?"
"After the breakup, did you get back together with him?"
Ji Mushu raised her snow-white chin, her sweet smile tinged with confidence, "Junior Chen, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to always interfere in other people's relationships?"
"Senior Yu isn't married yet, what's wrong with me pursuing him?"
Chen Zhixi also looked at Ji Mushu with a stubborn expression. She didn't want to lose. "Besides, even if you two get married, you can get a divorce. Our country doesn't discriminate against divorced women now."
“Our country does not discriminate against single women.”
Ji Mushu said indifferently, "He doesn't even like you, so why are you still trying to get closer to him?"
"What if I like it later?"
Chen Zhixi said stubbornly, "Senior Yu will definitely know how good I am in the future."
"You called me here today just to say this?"
Looking at the arrogant paper tiger Chen Zhixi, the real tiger Ji Mushu lowered her head and slowly stirred the fruit in her milk tea, calmly saying, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now."
