"Say what others want to hear, and do things that please others." Chengze sighed, scratched his hair, and continued, "My mother said she was my adoptive mother. She said I look good with long hair in order to cater to her.

My preference is that I have had long hair for more than 10 years, and at the longest I could wear it in a short ponytail.”

"Tying a ponytail doesn't affect your appearance." Xia Tian suddenly interrupted.

"Haha -" Cheng Ze laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out, "Senior sister's ideas have always been very... very strange."

He looks so pretty when he smiles! Xia Xiaxin said.

Gulu——

It was the sound coming from Chengze's stomach.

At noon, they found some quick-frozen food in the refrigerator and had a meal. Now they had no choice but to wait for Zhang Fei and the others to come back with food.

Xia Tian suddenly thought that Cheng Ze felt irritable because he was hungry. She stood up and took out 4 or 5 rectangular chocolates from her backpack.

"Want to eat?"

"Um."

Xia Tian quickly finished a whole plate of chocolate. Chengze picked up the outer packaging and took a look at it, and said with admiration: "It's more than 80 grams."

Xia Tian has already opened the outer packaging of the second piece.

"What's wrong?"

"You like chocolate so much, I will give you more on Valentine's Day."

Xia Tian didn't speak, but secretly looked forward to it in his heart.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed facing each other and quickly destroyed the chocolates. Xia Tian still couldn't stop smelling the tin foil wrapping the chocolates.

The inexplicable anxiety disappeared along with the feeling of fullness, and the two fell into a situation where there was no word between them again.

The hour hand quickly pointed to 6 o'clock. Chengze looked at the bright moon outside the window and murmured: "I am the real me when I am quiet and don't like to talk. It's really hard for you to let me, senior, get along with me like this."

.”

Xia Tian smiled lightly, this was also the real her, and she was also afraid that Chengze would be bored if he got along with her like this.

It's really a blessing that Cheng Ze said this first.

The biggest difference between Xia Tian and Chengze is probably that Chengze would put on a mask and blend in with the crowd, but Xia Tian would not. She always remembered what her father said to her before he left, that as long as you work hard to reach a certain height, you can change everything and control everything.

, you can have the ability to survive independently without having to please others.

"Merry Christmas, summer." Chengze was still staring at the moon. His profile was impeccably beautiful, and his dark eyebrows made his dark blue eyes even deeper. "I want to spend all the Christmases in my life with you.

There’s also Valentine’s Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year…”

He turned his head and stared at Xia Tian, ​​saying melancholy and affectionately: "Please don't abandon me, even if I only become your friend."

Something hit Xia Tian's heart, and she heard the sound of the wall built of timidity and self-esteem in her body collapsing.

My relationship with that person is not what you think it is.

he's mine……

Xia Tian thought, let's just say it like this.

"How long can your enthusiasm last this time?"

The light in Chengze's eyes dimmed little by little, like dark clouds covering the starlight.

Xia Tian turned away and bit his lips lightly, feeling as if he was falling from a high altitude.

That’s not what I want to say, it’s obviously not that!

"Chengze..."

Chengze interrupted her with a chuckle: "It doesn't matter. As long as the words come from your mouth, I can swallow them no matter how hurtful they are."

It was 10 minutes before 7 o'clock. Cheng Xiaolan folded her arms and tilted her head to look at Zhang Fei and his group who were filing in. Her eyes were like a dean glaring at students who stayed out all night.

The others took off their shoes and sneaked into the house, pretending not to see her.

Only Zhang Fei hung up his coat and asked her with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

"What do you think? I just focused on eating myself and forgot that there are three other people here who are starving."

"I didn't forget, and we are also hungry." The two of them said and entered the house. "After sending Miaomiao to the plane, we hurried back. Some sections of the road were not cleared of snow in time, so the car really didn't dare to drive fast.

.”

"Have they sought refuge abroad?"

"I have already booked my flight to the Maldives."

"Why are you eating the leftovers from the wedding banquet at night?" Cheng Xiaolan stood in front of the Christmas tree and saw Feifei, Da Zhuang and the others taking out boxes as big as lunch boxes from the reusable shopping bags.

"I went to the supermarket before coming here. Let's have hot pot tonight."

Cheng Xiaolan pouted, sat down on the sofa, and said, "The smell won't go away for three days."

Hearing the lively sounds downstairs, Chengze and Xia Tian walked down the stairs one after another.

"Sister Tian'er, let's have hot pot tonight." Jin Yan smiled and raised the big prawns in her hand.

"I'll come, I'll come. The shrimps are still on ice. They're too cold. Go get them wedding candies." Zhang Fei pushed Jin Yan out of the kitchen.

"Aze, just sit there and wait to eat. Don't squeeze into the kitchen." Seeing Chengze rolling up his sleeves and coming to help, Zhang Fei pointed to the red carpet in front of the fireplace and said.

Chengze smiled, walked to the fireplace and sat down.

"Sister Tian, ​​please try the wedding candies here. They are delicious. I secretly stuffed several boxes into my bag." Jin Yan gave the exquisite handmade gift to Xia Tian and touched her ears again.

"The ears are not red anymore."

"Yeah." I just ate so much chocolate, Xia Tian can't eat candies now.

"Let me look at my hand, the back of it..." Jin Yan found the gold bracelet, her eyes widened like bells, "This is... this is..."

"this……"

"Can I wear it?"

Xia Tian took off the bracelet, and Jin Yan happily held it in her hand. After admiring it for a while, she put it on her wrist and went to find Zhang Fei.

"Look, how beautiful it is."

Zhang Fei was washing vegetables, tilted his head slightly and glanced at the bracelet, then said with a smile: "Aze must have bought it for Xia Tian."

"Yeah." Jin Yan pursed her lips.

"I will go to work after the exam, and after school starts, I will work as a tutor. Well, can I try to buy you one before the summer vacation?" Zhang Fei began to wash the squid.

"You don't have to buy something so expensive, gold-plated ones will do." Jin Yan reluctantly took off the bracelet and gave it back to Xia Tian.

"You really don't need our help?" Xia Tian asked, watching everyone busy in the kitchen.

"How can we let the patients work?" Liu Tao set up a mandarin duck pot.

"It's not that serious. I'm fine." Xia Tian didn't want to be like Cheng Xiaolan, sitting on the sofa waiting for someone to serve her.

"If Chengze doesn't find you in time, you will freeze to death." Liu Tao said with a stern face.

People always heal and the scars forget the pain. Staying in the warm villa, Xia Tian has forgotten what it felt like to almost freeze to death on that snowy night.

"Go and have a rest. I'll call you later." Zhao Fei placed the beef and mutton around the mandarin duck pot one by one. She was still wearing a bridesmaid's dress and her face was a little stained with makeup.

"Sister Tian'er, what are you doing out here? Chasing that delivery guy?" Jin Yan finally remembered to ask about this.

Cheng Xiaolan and Cheng Ze glanced over at the same time.

Xia Tian nodded slightly.

"Why? Do you know him? Who is he? Do I know him?"

"He is..." Xia Tian swallowed the following words. He couldn't say it yet. If he couldn't find him, his joy would be in vain.

"Her ex-boyfriend." Seeing that Xia Tian refused to say anything, Cheng Xiaolan replied in a sharp voice.

"That's nonsense. My sister Tian'er doesn't have any ex-boyfriends. She has never been in love." Jin Yan retorted loudly.

Xia Tian heard the laughter of Liu Tao and several others, as well as the loud laughter that was covered up by a "sizzling" sound. He was frying lamb chops.

"Sister, are you really trying to explain it to me?" Xia Tian blushed and sat in front of the fireplace without saying a word.

Chengze immediately leaned close to her. He felt much more relaxed, as if he had suffered from some serious disease, but was suddenly told by the doctor that it was a misdiagnosis.

"How do you know she didn't?" Cheng Xiaolan said disdainfully, continuing to play with her phone with her head down.

"If I say no, then I don't. I wouldn't know who she is usually close to." Jin Yan replied.

"I'm afraid you'll rob me, so I don't want you to know. Haven't you heard of fire prevention, theft prevention, and best friend protection?" Cheng Xiaolan's eyes still did not leave the phone screen.

"Hey, it seems you've done a lot of stealing other people's boyfriends."

Cheng Xiaolan put down her phone after hearing this, raised her head and looked at Jin Yan with a stern look.

Jin Yan also crossed her arms, looking like she wouldn't flinch.

Xia Tian holds her forehead with both hands. In her opinion, the most unworthy thing to do is to be more serious about something with someone who has different views. Ignoring is the best way to fight back.
