The answer was so simple that there was only one word, Xu Ningxue didn't know how to answer, so she had to bow her head and pick up the rice in the bowl, occasionally peeking at Du Qingyu's expression with her eyes, and seeing that she was still tense with a delicate face, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was silent and cold.

Is this still the behavior that a loved one should be?

In this cold atmosphere, Xu Ningxue and Du Qingyu were separated by a table, two people who should have been intimate, but they were like a distance as wide as the Milky Way, and they couldn't cross the distance.

Xu Ningxue was eating, suddenly remembered that the gift had not been given out yet, and was worried that she would forget it as soon as she put it down, so she hurriedly took the delicate box placed on the edge of the table, handed it to Du Qingyu with both hands, smiled lightly, and said, "This is a gift for you, although it may not be very valuable, but it is very beautiful." ”

Moreover, this is the first time she has chosen a gift for her mother, and the heart carried on it is her most sincere feelings, representing her thoughts and feelings for her mother over the years.

Du Qingyu raised her eyes, glanced at Xu Ningxue's face full of anticipation, and then her eyes fell on the exquisitely packaged box, "Let's put it aside first, I'm tired if you stretch out your hand like this, I'm tired when I look at it." ”

Du Qingyu's expression was not at all looking forward to what the gift was here, such an expression made Xu Ningxue's heart stagnate.

"Why don't you open it and see what kind of gift it is?"

Du Qingyu raised her head, curled her lips and chuckled, as if she heard a joke, "Is it that important?" ”

Xu Ningxue was stunned, then bit her lip, stopped talking, just put the box not far from Du Qingyu's hand, sat down and continued to eat.

Du Qingyu simply ate a little, then stood up and prepared to leave, Xu Ningxue saw that she hadn't eaten the cake yet, so she stopped her: "Wait, there is still ...... cake that hasn't been cut."

Du Qingyu glanced at the cake full of chocolate sauce, and then withdrew his gaze, "It's just a show, I don't want to eat it, you can eat it if you want, otherwise it's okay to throw it away." With that, he turned to leave, took the smaller cake from the refrigerator, carefully placed it on the table, and went back to his room.

After a while, Du Qingyu came out again, changed into another set of casual clothes, wore big sunglasses, and left with the cake, the exquisite gift box next to the cake box was touched to the ground like this, Du Qingyu didn't seem to see it, and left directly.

Xu Ningxue looked at the box lying quietly on the floor, her mind also fell to the ground and became humble, she was stunned for a long time, until her eyes were sour and uncomfortable, she squatted on the ground and picked up the box and opened it, fortunately, a pair of magnolia flower-shaped earrings inside were intact, shining with a warm light.

She almost used up the gift she bought with Du Qingyu's pocket money, but it was knocked to the ground like garbage, and a heavy heart instantly became worthless.

She put away the delicate box, rubbed her sour eyes, cut the cake by herself, filled a large piece for herself, and then walked to the kitchen, and greeted the people inside with a smile: "Aunt Huang, don't be busy, go out to eat, and eat cake with me." ”

Aunt Huang waved her hand again and again, "No, this is not good, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Xu Ningxue dragged her out, and continued to persuade earnestly as she walked: "My mother is not here, besides, if you make so many dishes, won't it be a waste if you don't eat them?" Now they all advocate saving food, and waste is a crime, so do you think we can waste food? ”

Aunt Huang was stunned when she said, "Well, of course you can't waste it." ”

Xu Ningxue raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Isn't this right?" Go, go to dinner with me, and I feel like I can't eat enough to eat. ”

As a result, this was originally Du Qingyu's birthday dinner, but it became an incomparably sumptuous dinner for Xu Ningxue and Aunt Huang.

Xu Ningxue felt that the chocolate cake this time still didn't have the taste of the year, could she never get back the taste of the cake she ate back then?

Is it the original taste of the cake that is lost, or something else? These questions, which she had never thought about, poured into her head like a tidal wave, making it difficult for her to toss and turn all night.

When she went to class the next day, Han Xiaoyan still had a lot of things to say to Xu Ningxue, and during recess, she would always turn around and lie on Xu Ningxue's desk, smiling playfully and cutely, saying that the head teacher would often sneak in the window to see if there were any students who were lazy, and said that the math teacher's lectures were like chanting scriptures, and she wanted to sleep after listening to it...... She seems to be eternally tireless and always full of energy.

It's just that today's Xu Ningxue's reaction to her was much colder, and she was full of enthusiasm for Han Xiaoyan, she kept her head down and looked at the textbook in her hand, only nodded occasionally, and didn't respond much to the gossip that Han Xiaoyan said, and even tightened a small face, expressionless.

I don't know if Han Xiaoyan really didn't see it, or deliberately pretended not to know anything, she seemed to want to talk to someone to relieve her boredom, maybe she was also a person who was afraid of being lonely, she confided in Xu Ningxue, who had a good impression not long after she had just met, as a friend.

Han Xiaoyan didn't see Xu Ningxue respond to what she said after talking for a while, stretched out her hand to cover Xu Ningxue's book, and stared at her with a pitiful expression, "Ningshuang, don't you read anymore, okay?" Talk to me. ”

Xu Ningxue stared at the white hand, her face sank, she closed the book with some force, looked up at Han Xiaoyan, and when she saw her bright smiling face, she was stunned for a moment before she said: "Han Xiaoyan, I'm not you, and I'm not as idle as you, you can not care about the grades, but I care very much, so please stop bothering me, okay?" ”

Xu Ningxue's tone was the coldest tone Han Xiaoyan had ever heard since she met her in this short period of time, Han Xiaoyan suddenly stretched out her hand back, the bright smile on her face gradually faded, her expression was like a child who had done something wrong, and said in a low voice: "I just want to talk to you, if you don't like it, then forget it." ”

Xu Ningxue lowered her eyes and said nothing, she was afraid that she would reveal her heart if she spoke again, she also wanted to have a friend to talk and gossip, but, no, at least until she left here, it was absolutely not, it turned out that she could also be a hard-hearted person.

Han Xiaoyan looked at Xu Ningxue quietly for a moment, and when she saw that she still didn't mean to talk to herself, she turned around with interest.

Xu Ningxue raised her head at this time, looked at Han Xiaoyan with a stiff back in front of her with complicated eyes, opened her mouth, and in the end, she was silent.

During the next recess, Han Xiaoyan finally stopped talking to Xu Ningxue behind her, but gradually became hot with Zhang Xiaoluo, who was two positions behind Xu Ningxue.

Xu Xuening can occasionally hear their voices, and it can be heard from the words that Zhang Xiaoluo is a hearty girl with a personality like a boy, no wonder she can chat with the cheerful Han Xiaoyan.
