10. The day of exchanging gifts

Christmas Day has finally arrived, with rare good weather, and the noon sun still has a warm atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As is customary, Megumi and I will exchange Christmas gifts on this day.

At this moment, we are already standing at the crossroads of the commercial street.

"Xiao Xixi, which direction are you going to go?" Xiaohui asked.

"I'll go this way~"

"Okay, wait a minute, let's meet at KFC diagonally opposite~"

"Good!"

With that, I looked for a gift shop on the right-hand side.

Sure enough, it was a grand festival, and along the way, there were crowds.

At this time, the store was crowded with people, some choosing clothes and some accessories.

I walked slowly down this pedestrian street, bustling with people and bustling, and finally managed to squeeze into a jewelry store called kawaii.

Originally, the shop was not very large, and the crowding made me feel very uncomfortable at once, but I still patiently looked around and walked to the trinket area.

Inadvertently, I was captivated by a flash.

Inside the glass counter in front of me, I saw a crystal phone, which shimmered in the light.

Thinking that the chain hanging on Xiaohui's mobile phone was already a little dirty, I decided that it was it without hesitation.

"Waiter, please help me get this crystal pendant~"

The waiter who opened the counter asked, "Is that it?" ”

"Well, it's it."

She handed the chain to me.

This purple crystal chain is strung together from deep to light, and at the bottom hangs a cute little bell, which reflects the colorful light under the light, and after shaking, you can still hear the crisp sound of the bell.

"Well, that's it, please help me pack it."

"Okay."

"Need anything else?"

"No, that's enough."

"Okay."

The waiter walked to the packaging area with the crystal phone chain I had selected, and asked me about the color and gift box I wanted to choose.

Finally, I picked out a purple-pink heart-shaped jewelry box.

The cashier smiled politely and said, "Plus the 20 yuan packaging fee, a total of 128 yuan." ”

"Oh, give~"

"Excuse me, do I need a membership card?"

"No need~"

"Okay ~ change 72 yuan ......"

……

With a gift full of confidence, I arrived at KFC early.

I found a vacant seat in the glass window of the store, and I hurriedly ordered two hot drinks and a pack of fries, and waited patiently for Xiaohui to come.

At this time, Xiaohui was in another jewelry store, tangled.

"Eh~ Do you say this is good-looking, or is this this?" Xiao Hui asked the clerk who was busy beside him.

"It's all good-looking~"

"Oh, I think it's all good-looking, too...... That's why I don't know which one to pick......"

It's because of Christmas, there are so many people buying gifts on this day, so the clerks don't have that much time to give advice one by one.

"What should I do~" Xiao Hui, who was talking to herself, held a chic golden flower-shaped brooch in one hand and a sky-blue Doraemon short wallet in the other, and continued to struggle there.

The crowd in the store continues to surge, and it is really uncomfortable to squeeze around......

"Excuse me, can you show me this?" A guest asked, who seemed to have taken a fancy to the cartoon wallet in Xiaohui's hand.

"Ah~wait~"

Xiaohui thought to herself: There don't seem to be many occasions when brooches are used, and the practicality will be much worse than that of wallets.

She finally got the decision.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, I want this......"

……

Xiaohui hurried to the agreed place.

"Hui Baobao~" Outside the door of KFC, I saw Xiao Hui's figure, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Hui Baobao~ here!" ”

"Ah~ here."

"You're slow!"

"Really?"

"Look at how much I've eaten?!"

"Okay~Oh, give you a Christmas gift~ I wish you a Merry Christmas~"

"I see you, you must have made another phobia, right?" I also hurriedly took out the gift box from the gift bag, "This is for you, and I wish you a Merry Christmas~"

We exchanged gifts with each other and sent blessings to each other, although they were not expensive gifts, but they contained a lot of friendship.

Xiaohui opened my gift box and saw the crystal chain lying quietly in the jewelry box, and shouted excitedly: "Wow~ It looks so good~~"

"Do you like it?"

"Of course! It's so flashy~"

After saying that, she couldn't wait to take off the old pendant that had been hanging on her phone and replace it with this shiny purple crystal chain.

"Hurry up and open my gift!"

"Well, I'm demolishing it~"

"How? Do you like it?! ”

I took out a sky blue cartoon wallet from the box and said with a smile: "Haha, what a cartoon~"

"Don't like it?"

"No, no, no, I like it very much~ What a cute Doraemon~haha~"

"Listen to your tone like ......"

"You gave me such a cartoon wallet, you don't want me to grow up, right?"

"Nasty! If you don't like it, pay me back! ”

Megumi was about to snatch this cute little purse from me, but I refused and hurriedly put it in my satchel.

"No~ give me a gift, how can there be a reason to take it back?"

“……”

"Like my gift?"

"Well, this chain ~ so flashy, it's almost blinding me......"

"Hehe, don't look at who picked the gift~"

"Are you saying in disguise that the gift I picked is not good?! Give me back! Give me back! ”

"Haha, no~ I didn't mean that, don't be so stingy~"

"I originally wanted to buy you a brooch......

"Look at you, you will react when you are teased by me, so I want to bully you so much~ Actually, the wallet is very good-looking, the color is very comfortable, and the pattern is very cute, so I like it quite a lot, rest assured~ I will use it very cherished~"

"Then don't make fun of my gifts!"

"No~"

……

Because it was Christmas, I went back to her home with Megumi.

As usual, I spent most of the big holidays at Xiaohui's house, and they had long regarded me as family.

"Megumi, take my brother to the yard and set off fireworks." Megumi's mother took out a bundle of fireworks sticks from a plastic bag.

"Mom~Give me me~"

"No, let your sister take you there, otherwise you can't!"

"Oh~~~~~~~" the younger brother pouted, "that sister, hurry up!" ”

Xiaohui and I took her younger brother, who was only 6 years old, to the yard, lit fireworks sticks, and frolicked......

The younger brother, who was tired of playing, squatted on the stone steps and said breathlessly, "I'm going to pee~"

"Oh, Xiaoxi, you help me clean up, I took care of my brother and came to you."

"Well, there you go~"

In this way, Xiaohui sent his younger brother back to his bedroom, and after settling him, he returned to his bedroom.

"He slept?" Seeing Xiaohui entering the door, I asked.

"Well, I must be tired, and I fell asleep when I lay down!"

"Haha, he's so cute~"

Bhikachu ~ Bhika Bhiga ~ Bhi~~ The short message of the mobile phone sounded.

"So late? Who is it? I asked.

"Ah...... Yes, it's a classmate......" Xiaohui replied in a panic as she looked at the text message on her mobile phone.

"Really?!" In the hands of Xiaohui, who was cowering, I snatched her phone and read the text message aloud: "Merry Christmas, I'm really happy to know you at the last party, I wish you more and more beautiful......"

"I hate it, give me back~"

"Well, it turns out that it's a classmate~~~~" I smiled and looked at Xiao Hui, who was angry when she turned around.

"You're laughing at me again!"

"Actually, you can meet people who like you, it seems that the party didn't go in vain, besides, ......"

"And what?" Xiaohui took her phone and asked.

"Besides, you like him so much~hehe~"

"I didn't!"

"Didn't you?"

"Hmm!"

"Well, a P~ Look at your face!"

"Blushing...... It's because it's blown by the wind, right? ”

"Give me the phone, and I'll help you get the message back!"

"What!" When Xiaohui heard this, she hurriedly hid her phone behind her body.

"I'm like, 'I'm sorry, I don't like you, please don't bother me again, okay?' Thank you! 'Is that okay?' ”

“……”

Looking at Xiaohui's anxious appearance, I continued to ask, "How is it?" ”

"That's not good~"

"What's the matter, you don't like it anyway~"

"I didn't say that!"

"Haha~ Look at your anxiety! Do you admit you like him? ”

"Actually...... He's not bad......"

"Okay~ Then hurry up and reply to the message, don't let him wait too long!"

"I'll go take a shower first, and I'll come back later."

"Well, I've washed it, I'll watch TV first."

"Hmm."

I switched channels, chuckled, and thought, "Little fool, I hope he deserves your liking!"

After taking a shower, Xiaohui hid under the quilt and hurriedly turned on her phone, but I didn't bother her.

……

The next morning, I was still asleep......

"Little Xixi~Get up~"

"......" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and muttered, "What are you doing~~~~"

"Hurry up~" Megumi continued to shake me.

I snorted and asked suspiciously, "Don't give you a ...... bed."

I saw Xiao Hui clasped his hands on his chest, and prayed: "Although, I am in charge of it, but, please help me Xiao Xixi~"

"Huh?" I found that Xiaohui was already dressed up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"That person, invite us to afternoon tea......"

"Oh, what time is it?"

"9 o'clock ~"

"Please, it's afternoon tea...... Isn't 9 o'clock too early? ”

"But, people can't sleep~"

"Okay~Okay~" I reluctantly climbed out of the warm bed, "but okay, I don't make a light bulb!" ”

"Don't~ How embarrassed are people to meet him alone, it's too much like dating~"

"I guess he just wants to date you, did you understand it wrong?"

"How is it possible, even if it is like this, I don't dare~"

"Oh! Sure enough, I'm your shield, right? ”

"No~"

"I'm really afraid that if I go to the appointment with you, he will curse me~"

"How is that possible?"

"Haha, just kidding."

Xiaohui's request, how can I refuse, I can only go into battle.

After a long wait, of course, for Megumi, we finally arrived at the meeting place.

"This is it~"

"Are you sure?"

"Well, what is written on the text message is Alpine Flowing Water Teahouse~"

"Oh, let's go in then~"

Sure enough, the boy had been waiting for a long time.

In this way, Xiaohui and this boy talked, I always felt a little embarrassed, in order not to make a light bulb again, I tried my best to find a reason.

Through the glass window, I accidentally saw Lin Zhixin passing by.

"Ah, that, Hui baby, I'll go out for a while."

"Huh?"

I hurriedly left my seat and ran out the door.

"Hello? Lin Zhixin! ”

"Huh?" Xin turned around at this time, saw that it was me, and said with a smile: "It's Xiaoxi, so coincidental~"

"Well, what a coincidence, are you out shopping alone?"

Xin picked up a large plastic bag and said, "I helped my sister buy some ingredients." ”

"Oh~ that ......" I anxiously leaned over to the letter and asked softly, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

"Huh?" Although Shin looked puzzled, he nodded anyway.

I boldly took Xin's arm and led him into the teahouse.

"Hui baby, I'm sorry~ I have something to do with the letter ~ See if I can ......"

"Ah~ That's it, then you can go."

"Okay, then let's talk slowly~"

Finally able to get out, I hurriedly pulled the letter and left.

After crossing an intersection, I hurriedly withdrew the hand holding the letter, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm still bothering you like this, thank you so much for helping me out of the siege~"

"It's just a matter of effort."

"Ah~ That's right! Merry Christmas to you~"

"Well, Merry Christmas~"

"That'...... I'm leaving, next time I'll treat you to dinner as a gift~"

"Let me send you back, shall you?"

"No, no, no~"

With that, I hurried into a shop and walked out of the shop after confirming the letter's departure.

Suddenly, I felt a chill hit me behind me, and it was the same cold eyes watching me......

I looked around, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and thought, "I've been too nervous lately, haven't I?" Continue on foot in the direction of the residence.

Finally arrived safely under the corridor of my residence, I received a short message from Xiaohui: "Xiao Xixi, I won't accompany you today, I'm sorry~"

"It's okay, I'm home, but don't play too late!"

Replying to the text message, I opened the door to my residence.

All of a sudden, I was covered in the mouth from behind by a large, cold hand......
