Chapter XI

This Friday will usher in the long-awaited Valentine's Day. In order to win more favor from the girls at the last moment, so that they would not be so embarrassed on the day of the holiday, from Monday onwards, the boys in the class did their best to behave as kindly and understanding as possible, and even Fang Zheng, who often lectured us in physical education class, became less domineering. But that doesn't affect my decision, if you don't send it, you don't send it! Actually, it's not uncommon for him to send it. After all, there are many girls like Yu Menghan who favor him. I think he can sense this more or less. In view of the rush of time, I gave up on the idea of finishing the scarf. As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work, and such a good yarn is worthy of my cherishment.

On Thursday night, Xingyuan's father finally had time to help her bring chocolates to school. In order to pin the small cards with the name on them one by one to the box, Xingyuan was very busy. Seeing that there were less than five minutes left before the time to turn off the lights, Xingyuan reluctantly stopped and turned to make the bed and prepare for bed.

"Actually, I can help you get it......" I muttered as I got under the covers.

"There's not much left, I'll be able to finish it tomorrow when I get up early." Seeing that I didn't reply, Xingyuan was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Okay...... To tell you the truth, actually...... The chocolates in the box are a difference......"

"What's the difference?" I was surprised and surprised, and hurriedly asked. I didn't expect Xingyuan, who has always been gentle and kind, to have such careful thoughts.

"Nothing...... It's just a difference in size......" Xing Yuan's words revealed a suspicious aura.

"Really? Is that really just that? I asked, in a long voice.

"Otherwise, what would it be......" Xingyuan said hesitantly.

"The devil believes it!" I snorted angrily.

"I haven't asked you yet, who are you going to give that particular chocolate to?" Xingyuan asked in a mysterious whisper.

It turned out that she found out that I made two kinds of chocolates, no wonder she would give me little cards. "I don't understand what you're saying." As the clock struck ten o'clock, the lights of the dormitory vanished, and I hoped that the darkness would hide the tremor in my voice.

"Do you think you can hide it from me?" Xing Yuan said lightly: "I will know sooner or later." ”

"Each other, each other." Although I am not as confident as Xingyuan, I still replied not to be outdone. Xingyuan can easily find out who my star-shaped chocolate has fallen into, and I have no clue about Xingyuan's secret.

The next morning, when I woke up, Xingyuan had already changed into her school uniform and was ready to go out.

"Aren't you waiting for me?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and pouted.

"How dare you not wait." Xingyuan smiled and said comfortingly. "But you have to hurry."

After hurriedly washing and changing, Xingyuan and I rushed to the classroom with two bags of chocolates. Although the chocolate was heavy, fortunately we lived in the dormitory on the third floor, so it was not too difficult to go downstairs. Just as I wondered how Xingyuan could have comfortably asked me to help, a call interrupted my thoughts.

"Xian Xingyuan, here!" Three boys in the same class stood outside the door of the dormitory building, seemingly waiting for a while.

"Thank you." Xingyuan thanked her and handed over the bags in her hand one by one.

"You're welcome!" The boys took the four bags and left, with no intention of going with us.

Looking at their familiar appearance, there are many things like this. It's not the same to be good-looking...... I thought to myself.

When it's time for recess, the atmosphere in the classroom becomes extremely lively. The girls walked through the corridors of the classrooms and even went to other classes to deliver chocolates to the boys they knew and liked well. The boys, on the other hand, dangle in front of the girls, consciously or unconsciously, hoping to get their attention. After I sent the last chocolate I bought from the convenience store, I started searching for Xu Mingyao. However, in just ten minutes, Xu Mingyao received more than ten chocolates, many of which were beautifully packaged handmade chocolates. Listening to the whispers of the male classmates around me, I realized that in addition to the girls in our class, there were more girls from other classes and even other grades who gave Xu Mingyao chocolates, and several of them were still class flowers. Somehow, I suddenly remembered Gong Yazhu, so I pretended to ask casually, but unfortunately I couldn't get a definite answer. I stared at the chocolates in my bag in a daze, hesitating to stay and eat them myself. At this moment, Yang Tao paced over slowly.

"Why did you turn in your homework before you finished it? You can't get away with it. Yang Tao's tone was calm, so that people would not feel unhappy when they heard it.

"I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to finish it......" I replied with my head down.

"Hurry up and take it back and finish it, or the English teacher will criticize you again." After speaking, Yang Tao turned around and went back to his seat.

I walked up to Yang Tao with a box of chocolates, took the homework book he handed me with one hand, and put the chocolates on his desk with the other.

"Wow...... Thank you! Yang Tao looked flattered and thanked him at a loss.

"Overjoyed? Do you want to receive chocolate so much? I couldn't help but tease.

"I like to eat chocolate...... Yang Tao embarrassedly put the box into the drawer and continued: "Besides, this is a proof of good popularity. ”

Does he still care about his popularity? Thinking back to his usual cold attitude towards people, I found it funny. "So, how much chocolate did you receive today?"

Hearing this, Yang Tao's face was difficult. “…… Not much. ”

"Look at you so pitiful, I'll give you another one next year." With that, I burst out laughing.

"Oh...... Thank you in advance. Yang Tao scratched his head, a little at a loss.

In contrast, Shen Yunhao seemed much calmer. After he thanked me politely, he didn't forget to ask me what I liked to eat. As a gift in return, he plans to buy it for me on White Day.

Until school ended at noon, I hadn't made up my mind whether or not to give away the last chocolate. At lunch, we got together with the wind ensemble, and the topic was naturally Valentine's Day. Xin Tian quietly told us that after Yang Fan received the chocolate, he immediately opened it and ate nothing. Considering the size of that piece of chocolate, we couldn't help but laugh. Then, Yu Menghan complained to us about Fang Zheng's unkindness. In the past, he would reluctantly accept chocolates with the crowd, but this year he was unusual, saying that it was too troublesome to return the gift, and he resolutely refused to accept it. Seeing that he rejected several girls who gave him chocolates one after another, Yu Menghan didn't want to be bored, so he had to give up. I remembered that Xingyuan had prepared chocolates for all the boys in the class, so I winked at her. She nodded knowingly, took a box of chocolates from her bag and handed it to me. It turned out that Xingyuan didn't want to see him either...... From Xingyuan's actions, it can be concluded that the chocolate in this should be a small version. I played with the little box in my hand, and I was secretly happy. With it as a reference, I can know who Xingyuan is sending big chocolates to. Mei Fangxun told us that in addition to a few handmade chocolates, she also bought two boxes of chocolates, and if no one took the initiative to ask her for them, she would share them with us. This unintentional approach was exactly what I wanted, so I secretly decided that if Xu Mingyao happened to pass by my seat, I would give him the chocolate, otherwise forget it.

In the afternoon, there was still an endless stream of girls giving Xu Mingyao chocolates, so he didn't have a moment to spare, and I didn't have much to do with him, so it was even more difficult to find an opportunity to give him chocolates. As the school bell rang, I gave up on the idea of upsetting me for the whole day. With a faint sadness and loss, I packed up my things and prepared to go back to the dormitory with Xingyuan, when there was a burst of laughter not far behind me. I absentmindedly turned my head to look at it, and was immediately amused by what I saw. It turned out that the bottom of the paper bag Xu Mingyao used to hold chocolates suddenly cracked, and countless chocolates were scattered all over the place. Xu Mingyao was shocked, and hurriedly squatted down to pick them up, but he didn't know how to take them home, and his tall back was both embarrassed and funny.

"I've got a bag!" After Xingyuan finished handing out the chocolates, she happened to vacate four bags, and she put one of them on Xu Mingyao's table.

"Oh! Thank you, thank you! Xu Mingyao smiled and thanked him.

I silently stuffed the last box of chocolates in my schoolbag into my trouser pocket, and then collected the chocolates that had rolled near me and handed them back to Xu Mingyao.

"Just put it in the bag." Xu Mingyao smiled at me.

I stood there and hesitated, finally making up my mind to get the chocolate out. "This ...... ...... you"

"I thought you weren't going to give me ......" Xu Mingyao's eyes lit up and took the chocolate, and said in a low voice: "Yang Tao showed off to me that you gave him chocolate, I wonder why I didn't receive it......"

"Your share is indispensable......" Seeing him so happy, my heart overflowed with joy.
