Chapter 71 Christmas Gift
The sun's direct point gradually moves towards the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Northern Hemisphere enters winter, with shorter days and longer nights.
As the weather gets colder, there are fewer people playing around in the corridors. Everyone stays in the classroom wrapped in thick cotton coats.
After lunch, Lin Zixia came back with hot water, and Cheng Zhiwei turned around and gave her a beautifully packaged box.
Lin Zixia was stunned. "Why are you giving me a gift all of a sudden?"
Cheng Zhiwei shook her head, with an expression that showed she knew it would be like this, "I knew you wouldn't know, today is Christmas Eve."
Lin Zixia finally realized how quickly time had passed.
Lin Zixia opened the box and took a look. There was an apple, an orange, and a small folded card of Santa Claus in the box.
She licked her dry lips, holding the cup of hot water and slowly raised her head, "Um, Weiwei, what am I..."
"I know," Cheng Zhiwei interrupted her and said with a smile, "You only have your studies in your mind, so I knew you couldn't remember what day these two days were."
"I didn't expect you to prepare a gift. I was afraid you would prepare two sets of papers for me."
Lin Zixia was speechless, "Am I that kind of person?"
Cheng Zhiwei nodded, "That's right."
She patted Lin Zixia's shoulder and said, "I know you don't do these fancy things, but I want to do them. Just accept them. I still have to give them to other people."
After she finished speaking, Lin Zixia saw her take out several small bags of various kinds from the table, just like Santa Claus delivering gifts.
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When she was in junior high school, the girls in her class would also give apples and other things to each other on Christmas, but she never participated in them, and naturally she would not make special preparations or remember this day.
But she didn't expect that the custom of giving apples was unified across the country and everyone was doing it.
Because it wasn't just Cheng Zhiwei, many classmates in the class were also sending gifts to each other.
Even Xu Wu took the time to come and give her an apple and a small Christmas doll.
A lot of apples and cards piled up on her desk, some of which she couldn't even tell who sent them.
Lin Zixia sighed helplessly. At this rate, she had no choice but to do it. At least she had to return the gift.
Ahhhhh I'm going crazy!
Lin Zixia put the apples, oranges and cards on the table into the hole in the table and began to think about what he should buy after school.
Lu Xiangye, Wu You and others went to play basketball, and the seats were empty. Many girls came one after another to give him apples and cards, all of which were clearly placed on the table.
Only Yu Xue came over with an extremely beautiful gift box tied with a bow and a pink letter in her hand, and put it in Lu Xiangye's drawer.
When he left, he took a special look at Lin Zixia.
Lin Zixia pretended not to see it.
Before lunch break ended, Lu Xiangye and Wu You returned. Lu Xiangye walked in front, turned around and talked to them, casually twirling the basketball with his fingertips.
His forehead was soaked with sweat, and it looked wet, disheveled, and lazy.
When he reached his seat, he looked at the various gift boxes on the table and frowned impatiently.
Wu You quickly came over and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, Sanshui and I will help you solve it."
Then the two of them quickly divided up the things on his desk, their movements extremely skillful.
Just like in junior high school.
I forgot to mention that Lu Xiangye’s most hated fruit is apple.
At first they felt a little burdened and thought this was not a good idea.
But Song Zixin said, "What's wrong with that? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste if Brother Lu threw it into the trash can? We call this the rational use of resources."
Later, the two of them no longer had any psychological burden.
Lu Xiangye has always been like this, and the girls who gave him gifts knew it, but they still continued to do so happily.
After school, Lin Zixia went to the gift shop at the school gate to buy things.
I don’t know if it’s to take advantage of the popularity, but the shops at the school gate have their windows covered with Christmas stickers, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
There are also many Christmas-themed items in the gift shop.
This is better, it saves her the trouble.
But she still chose carefully.
She picked out a set of Christmas-themed plush hair clips for Xu Wu and Christmas stickers and tape for Cheng Zhiwei. She then bought a lot of Christmas cards to give to those who gave her apples.
She was just getting in line to check out when she saw a keychain hanging nearby. It had a cute duck pendant on it.
She paused, not knowing what she was thinking about, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she reached out to take it down.
…
After going to school the next day, Lin Zixia distributed the gifts to everyone.
Cheng Zhiwei turned to look at her, "Xia Xia, you are the soft-hearted god!"
Although you say you don't want to do these things, in fact you still have to prepare everything.
Lin Zixia glared at her and said, "I was forced to do this by the situation."
Follow the general trend and go with the flow.
Cheng Zhiwei curled her lips, "I don't care, you're celebrating Christmas anyway."
Lin Zixia made a face at her.
"What are you doing with that face? It's so ugly!"
Before Lin Zixia could retract her expression, Lu Xiangye came in, still talking. He lowered his eyes to look at the remaining things on her desk, expressionless, "What's the point of this?"
Wu You shook the card in his hand. "Christmas card? Brother Lu, don't you have one?"
Lu Xiangye looked around and saw Wu You had one, Li Senmiao had one, Cheng Zhiwei had one, and even the person sitting in front of him had one.
Just him, the table was empty, nothing on it.
There were two more greeting cards on Lin Zixia's desk. She crumpled up the plastic wrapping and threw it into the trash can, then threw the two cards into the hole in the desk.
Good, very good.
Lu Xiangye closed his eyes, his heart tightened, and he was almost angry to death.
As for his deskmate, he has nothing.
What a heartless person.
Wu You was still laughing in his ear, "Sister Xiao Xia wrote me a blessing: May everything go as planned, and may everything be filled with joy. Sanshui, what's yours?"
Li Senmiao held up the greeting card and said loudly, "This one of mine is better than yours."
Wu You: "I don't believe it unless you show it to me."
Li Senmiao retracted his hand and said, "No."
The two of them started fighting like that.
Lu Xiangye's ears were buzzing, he turned his wrist and felt like punching someone.
"Lu Xiangye."
Suddenly, a soft voice came to my ear.
He turned around.
Lin Zixia's eyebrows curved slightly as he said to him, "I've also prepared a thank-you gift for you."
"What?"
He didn't hear clearly.
Lin Zixia repeated, "I said reward, a Christmas gift."
A gift for him?
Lu Xiangye snorted softly and raised his eyelids. "I thought you didn't remember me, your deskmate?"
Lin Zixia curled her lips and said, "You are my teacher Lu, how could I forget you?"
Lu Xiangye spread his hands towards her.
Lin Zixia looked over blankly.
Lu Xiangye reminded, "Gift."
Lin Zixia: "Put it in your schoolbag."
Just as Lu Xiangye was about to bend down to take it, the English teacher came to ask Lin Zixia to help correct the exercise books.
Lin Zixia felt a little regretful that she couldn't see Lu Xiangye's expression when he saw the keychain.
Lu Xiangye reached into the hole in the table and rummaged around.
Um? ? ?
