Christmas, which in the West is the equivalent of the Chinese New Year.

In China, Christmas became popular later.

Especially children, young men and women, as soon as Christmas Eve arrives, they are full of anticipation.

For children, Christmas means special gifts and special events at school.

For young men and women, Christmas Eve can mean a date, and possibly a gift.

But in this era of China, Christmas is still a festival without any movement, and it is basically nothing special as usual.

At the very least, there are no Christmas trees or anything like that at school.

But on December 24, Wu Xiaozheng still received a few Christmas cards.

One was from Liu Zhilan, one was sent by Yang Yingru, and a few others were stuffed into his drawer by someone I don't know, with a few names written on him that he didn't remember at all.

And most of these greeting cards are the kind of hard paper that plays music as soon as you open them.

"I haven't received a gift from someone in years!"

Wu Xiaozheng listened to those monotonous music, and sighed with emotion to Liu Zhilan in the front seat.

In Wu Xiaozheng's impression, the last time he received a gift seemed to be a greeting card given to him by his five-year-old son when he celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday in his previous life.

On the greeting card, the son himself drew a painting of a family of three with watercolor pens.

The thing reminds one of its owner.

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but think of the original scene.

It's a pity that that scene will never come back.

My son can't come back!

Perhaps, this is the biggest regret since I was reborn.

A regret that can never be made up!

At this time, Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but think, if he still married Zhong Xiaolan in his life, would his son be able to come back?

I definitely can't come back!

But at this moment, Zhong Xiaolan walked over to him.

He couldn't help but look at Zhong Xiaolan in a daze again.

Zhong Xiaolan is very familiar with Wu Xiaozheng's direct eyes at this time.

The first time Wu Xiaozheng looked at her like this was at Shonan City No. 2 Middle School, on the day of the English competition.

He watched it twice.

And the second time was at the Shonan Municipal Education Commission.

And both times caused her extreme disgust.

She thought he was looking at her with perverted eyes.

But this time, Zhong Xiaolan just felt puzzled.

After getting along for so long, she already understood that Wu Xiaozheng didn't mean anything to her at all.

Don't say it's boring, even if sometimes she takes the initiative to find him, he looks a little unreasonable.

This made Zhong Xiaolan even more angry.

"Wu Xiaozheng, why do you think of me like this?" Zhong Xiaolan asked directly.

Wu Xiaozheng realized that he was distracted again.

"Oh, I'm wondering if you're going to trouble me again when you suddenly came to me. ”

This is the excuse that Wu Xiaozheng can think of.

Although the two are in the same class, they basically have no personal contact.

Even if there is an intersection, it is Zhong Xiaolan who came to him because of things in the class, such as catching strong men and the like.

Zhong Xiaolan's face turned red.

She did have something to find Wu Xiaozheng, but it was a private matter.

"My dad said he wanted to ask you to help book a room for tonight at Chef Wu's restaurant. ”

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

This little, wouldn't it be nice to call and order it yourself?

Well, this is a society of human feelings, Zhong Huamin probably thinks that by helping him book a room, he will have more face.

"Which store do you want?"

You must know that Chef Wu's restaurant has opened a second store in Yuelu District, and as far as Wu Xiaozheng knows, the Zhong family and Zhong Huamin's school are over there, so it should be more convenient to have a store in Yuelu District.

Zhong Xiaolan replied: "If you want the Xinfeng Building store, we want to go to the riverside after eating." ”

Do you want to go to the riverside after eating?

It's a full meal, right?

Oh, it's a little special today.

Wu Xiaozheng then remembered that today is Christmas Eve, and if there are people who have the habit of Christmas Eve, they will indeed have the habit of going to the riverside.

However, Wu Xiaozheng wondered that in his impression, it seems that Zhong Huamin and Li Huilan did not have the habit of Christmas Eve and Christmas!

What's going on today?

What's so special?

However, he still suppressed his curiosity, booked a room by phone, and sent Zhong Xiaolan away.

But as soon as school ended, Zhong Xiaolan came over again.

"Wu Xiaozheng, are you going back to Xinfeng Mansion now? I'll go with you!"

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

Can I say no?

In order to forget, Wu Xiaozheng tried to avoid having too much to do with Zhong Xiaolan during this time.

Basically, unless Zhong Xiaolan came to take the initiative to find him, he rarely talked to Zhong Xiaolan.

But now, he had no reason to refuse.

"You hate me?"

On the way, because Wu Xiaozheng had been silent, Zhong Xiaolan couldn't help but speak first.

This is where she is most depressed.

It stands to reason that the two are both from the Shonan region, and they have known each other before, so their relationship in the class should be closer than that of other classmates.

What puzzled Zhong Xiaolan was that Wu Xiaozheng was very friendly to other classmates, but he was a little cold to himself, like a passerby.

I don't think I've offended you, have I?

Even if there were some disputes before, it was a competition in academic performance!

Isn't this a normal thing among classmates with good grades?

"It's not about hating, it's not about liking. ”

Zhong Xiaolan was a little angry when she heard it.

This is obviously annoying!

"What's wrong with me? Tell me, I can change it. ”

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

Do you need to change it?

Is it still Zhong Xiaolan if it is changed?

This is also the reason why he doesn't want to get together with Zhong Xiaolan, and the two can't say a few words calmly.

It's a clash of personalities.

"The tone of your voice is too strong, I don't like it. Wu Xiaozheng finally said this.

This is a sentence he wanted to say in his previous life, but he never said it.

He now finds that in his previous life, he seems to have taken too much care of the other party's feelings, for fear that his words would hurt Zhong Xiaolan, but Zhong Xiaolan has no scruples.

Perhaps, that would be wrong!

Zhong Xiaolan finally fell silent.

She finally heard the truth from Wu Xiaozheng's mouth, but this truth hurt her heart a little.

Indeed, she has a heart that does not admit defeat.

Therefore, when she first met Wu Xiaozheng, because of her bad first impression and the backwardness of her English competition results, she had the urge to compare with Wu Xiaozheng, and because of this, she had a conflict with Wu Xiaozheng.

But now, she has long lost the heart to compare with Wu Xiaozheng.

There's no comparison.

It has become a fact that his grades have fallen behind him every time.

Moreover, now Zhong Xiaolan also knows a little bit of the inside story, and knows that Wu Xiaozheng's superior conditions are not because he was born in a rich and noble family, but because he relies on his own efforts.

At a young age, not only did he have good grades, but he also achieved such a big career, how can this compare with him?

The two are not at the same level at all!

As soon as Zhong Xiaolan was silent, Wu Xiaozheng relented a little.

He took the initiative to break the silence: "Do you have a Christmas Eve habit at home?"

"No, it's the son of one of my dad's classmates who came back from abroad, and my dad invited the family to a meal. ”

"Oh. ”

I see.

It's no wonder that people who come back from abroad do have the habit of Christmas Eve.

Seeing that there was going to be silence between the two again, Zhong Xiaolan suddenly asked, "By the way, have you ever wanted to go to college abroad?"

"No, why do you suddenly ask that?"

"My father's classmate's son is Zhu Yimin, and he was admitted to Harvard Medical School as soon as he graduated from high school. ”

Wu Xiaozheng was immediately stunned.

Zhu Yimin?

Why does this name sound so familiar?
