"Huanhuan." Li Jinyuan knocked on the door and walked in, still holding his mobile phone in one hand.
He paused at the door, looked at the gift boxes randomly placed on the carpet, then looked at Huo Chengming and Zhong Yuhuan: "Opening gifts?"
Huo Chengming then let go: "Yeah."
Zhong Yuhuan struggled out of his arms and looked at the unpacked package. It was empty and there was nothing left inside.
Li Jinyuan smiled and said, "That's just right."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, then picked up a big bag in his left hand and a big bag in his right hand and said, "I also received a lot of gifts, let's open them together."
As Li Jinyuan spoke, he pretended to look at Zhong Yuhuan casually and said, "Where is the Christmas gift that Huanhuan received?"
"There aren't many, they're all in my schoolbag."
Li Jinyuan pushed his own to Zhong Yuhuan: "Mine, Huanhuan takes it apart, how about I help Huanhuan take it apart?"
Zhong Yuhuan blinked: "Wouldn't this be bad?"
"What's wrong?" Li Jinyuan asked. His eyes were gentle and innocent, and it seemed that he really just wanted to help Zhong Yuhuan open the gift.
"Well, my bag is still on the sofa. Go get it." Zhong Yuhuan sat on the ground, too lazy to move.
"Okay." Li Jinyuan responded and immediately turned around.
What was originally meant to be unpacking Huo Chengming's things ended up being unpacking Zhong Yuhuan's gifts.
Huo Chengming breathed a sigh of relief, at least Zhong Yuhuan's attention was diverted, and she would no longer ask what it was that was taken out just now.
Zhong Yuhuan did not get many gifts, because most of them were piled in the school apartment and were not brought back at all. The rest were stopped by others when school was over, so they were stuffed into her schoolbag.
At this time, Zhong Yuhuan had already forgotten what kind of person would give her a gift when she left school during the holidays.
Li Jinyuan casually opened a Christmas card, which contained bold and straightforward words.
"... Dear, if there is still a chance, I hope we can spend wonderful time together again." Li Jinyuan was thinking about it, and his tone changed, and the expression on his face could no longer maintain a gentle appearance.
"Who is this?" Li Jinyuan's voice was slightly cold, and he read out the final signature: "Your Maria."
Zhong Yuhuan had just bitten a piece of chocolate in his mouth. When he raised his head, he met the eyes of two teenagers staring at him. Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly said: "Ah, we didn't have much time together. I just joined an opera club before and she was She is the star of the opera club, and I know nothing. She took the time to teach me alone. Ah, and Maria is a girl."
With that said, Zhong Yuhuan took out his phone and pulled out a photo.
"Well, this is our photo."
Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming looked over almost at the same time.
In the photo, the other girl is very tall, about 1.78 meters tall, with blond hair tied up high, and a smile in her blue eyes. She wore a white knight's uniform and carried a riding crop in her hand. It's a standard European appearance. Beautiful and with handsome features.
Zhong Yuhuan was wearing an eighteenth-century European princess dress. Her waist was slender, her upper body was white, and the wide skirt underneath was held up by a bustle and was blue. She wore a hat decorated with flowers sideways on her head, and two strands of curly hair hung down from her ears. The large brim of the hat covered her forehead, revealing only the straight nose and beautiful lips like flowers. Her face was made to look even smaller.
Taking advantage of her height advantage, Maria enthusiastically held Zhong Yuhuan in her arms.
His head was also tilted in the direction of Zhong Yuhuan, looking very close to him.
"This is a group photo after the opera performance." Zhong Yuhuan said, flipping to the back: "Ah, there are more at the back. But they are with everyone."
The photo on the phone was changed to another one.
But the protagonist is still Zhong Yuhuan.
The boys and girls all stretched out their hands and threw her up. They gathered in a circle. Zhong Yuhuan held up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and her broad hat flew out. Her skirt flew up and she had a bright smile on her face.
She looked like a European princess from the 18th century.
Zhong Yuhuan pointed to the photo and said, "There are mats underneath, so it's very safe."
Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan suddenly fell silent.
They regretted it a little.
After being separated from her, they didn't expect that they missed so much. I didn't get to see her perform in a play, or see her wearing a princess dress.
Li Jinyuan suddenly said: "I heard that there are many women who like girls abroad."
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned: "No, it's impossible."
Li Jinyuan pursed his lips, put the greeting card aside, picked out another one, and said: "Dear Heloise, Merry Christmas! Thinking of being separated from you, I feel very sad. You She is really beautiful, the most beautiful Chinese person I have ever seen. Your eyes are like the night sky full of stars, your hair is soft like the most beautiful silk in China, and your lips are like petals... During the holidays, Can I invite you to my coming-of-age party? Yours Joseph."
Huo Chengming twitched the corners of his mouth and looked a little stiff: "...Are foreigners so disgusting?"
"Knowing how to praise women is a very good advantage!" Zhong Yuhuan said. Then she looked at the two teenagers in confusion: "Haven't you ever praised others?"
"No."
"This won't work. How are you going to have a girlfriend like this in the future?" Zhong Yuhuan immediately retorted: "At least you should be a gentleman. Just the right compliment will make your female partner have a better impression of you in the future."
"Is this Joseph a gentleman?" Huo Chengming asked.
"Well, yes. Every time you talk to him, he makes you feel more comfortable. It's probably like that. When you go out wearing a skirt in winter, his first reaction is to praise your skirt for being beautiful, instead of saying Your legs must be cold."
Huo Chengming's face darkened: "Do you still want to wear a skirt in winter?"
Zhong Yuhuan blinked: "I'm just a metaphor."
"For example, it doesn't work. Wearing a skirt in winter is wrong." Huo Chengming said.
Li Jinyuan thought for a while and said: "It will be really cold, very cold. Huanhuan, don't do this in the future."
Zhong Yuhuan helplessly held his forehead.
What two straight men!
"Okay, let me change the analogy and stop wearing skirts in winter. Well, at the end of the Thanksgiving holiday, I went back to school, and he specially gave me a gift. He said it was a back-to-school gift. Including Halloween, I also I received a bouquet of flowers…”
"No, wait..." Huo Chengming interrupted her in time: "He is not acting like a gentleman."
"Um?"
"He is pursuing you." Li Jinyuan said and threw the greeting card aside.
Zhong Yuhuan said helplessly: "Okay. If that's the case, Joseph is actually a good person... "
"Huanhuan, you can't think like this. If he always makes people feel comfortable, will he treat everyone like this?" Li Jinyuan said aloud.
Huo Chengming said unhappily: "A central air conditioner."
Zhong Yuhuan originally wanted to teach them, but for some reason she suddenly changed her mind and it was them who taught her not to be gullible.
Zhong Yuhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still listened attentively.
They have grown up and have seen and learned more.
Li Jinyuan whispered: "Study hard and don't fall in love prematurely."
"Okay." Zhong Yuhuan nodded helplessly.
Sure enough, the hero and the villain are both different. When boys of the same age enter adolescence, they want to devote all their time to love. But they never thought about it at all.
Li Jinyuan opened some more greeting cards, almost all of them like this.
Slowly, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming also reacted. The reason why Zhong Yuhuan didn't receive many gifts was because these people had different thoughts, so they all chose to quietly write their thoughts in the greeting cards first.
After opening the greeting cards, only four gifts were left.
The boxes are very small.
One is a framed photo, one is a hairpin, one is lipstick, and the last one is a beautiful brooch.
The brooch is the most valuable one among them. It is inlaid with pearls. The pearls are round in shape and each one is exactly the same size. And surrounded by pearls is a large piece of pink quartz.
Zhong Yuhuan was surprised when he saw it for the first time: "Who gave this to me?"
As she said that, she picked up the packaging box and looked at the name on the outside: "Huh? From Langdon?"
"Who is Langdon?" Li Jinyuan asked. He felt that the most frequent question he had asked in just one day was "Who is this?"
"Well, it's the boy you saw when you came here." Zhong Yuhuan said, taking the box and locking it: "I'll give it back to him when I go back to school. It looks more valuable."
Li Jinyuan frowned quickly.
The image of Langdon came to mind again. He had blond hair, green eyes, and a handsome face. He was a handsome boy who fit in well with Chinese aesthetics.
Li Jinyuan felt a little unhappy.
After entering the orphanage, he had no relatives. Later, there was another Zhong Yuhuan, and Huo Chengming could barely be considered one. Of course it was not Huo Chengming's turn to worry about it, only Zhong Yuhuan.
She was so beautiful and yet so delicate. The slightest touch of skin would make him feel pain in his heart. During the few years he spent in the Zhong family, what he thought about most was that he hoped to be strong enough in the future to be able to hold her in the ivory tower and take good care of her like this.
But before he could take care of it, a pig came from nowhere and set its sights on Zhong Yuhuan.
Huo Chengming was even more unhappy. He had never even seen that Langdon. He didn't even know what the pig trying to steal the cabbage looked like.
"I really won't fall in love prematurely, really. You don't have to worry about me." After Zhong Yuhuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Things have really changed since the separation.
Before, she felt like an old hen worrying about her cubs.
But after they separated, they transformed into old fathers who were worried about her.
Zhong Yuhuan said and yawned lazily: "Okay, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Please tidy up here and put the greeting cards and gifts in my room. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yeah." The corners of Li Jinyuan's mouth raised slightly, and the smile returned to his face.
After all, judging from Zhong Yuhuan's reaction, there was nothing in it that aroused her special treatment.
Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming packed their things.
Li Jinyuan took the gift he received back by the way. Anyway, this is not the point at all.
Huo Chengming's room returned to tranquility.
Huo Chengming squatted down, picked up the disc from under the bed, and pressed it into a book.
After returning to school, I'll beat the one who gave the gift first.
