Chapter 41: The Sapphire Necklace Returns the Gift
Pei Yue was speechless and choked.
Why is this pineapple essence here again......
Before he could say anything, the heavy snow on the side couldn't hold it back, and he meowed and jumped into Qu Shao's arms with a brisk step.
"Ugh!"
The fruit basket in Qu Shao's hand was already heavy, and it was already a little difficult to hold the thin body, but at this moment, she suddenly jumped on a big cat, she couldn't bear it in an instant, and the whole person fell backwards.
Pei Yue's hands were faster than his brain, and when he came back to his senses, he had already reached out to hold her.
Night shrouded in all directions, and the stars hung low. Qu Shao just leaned on Pei Yue's arms, looked up at him, and crashed straight into a pair of starry eyes.
The light in the eyes was clear, and there seemed to be a slight blue light under the eyes, like starlight falling into the deep sea.
She was stunned for a moment.
Pei Yue also seemed to be in a stupor, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. The posture of the two was so intimate that the grandmother who heard the sound couldn't help but cough lightly and reminded her.
Pei Yue: "......"
Qu Sha Sha: "......"
Heavy snow: "Meow Meowβ"
Inside, the awkward atmosphere has not yet dissipated. Except for the heavy snowfall, everyone seems to be more or less uncomfortable.
Pei Yue still has the same ice face, but the red marks at the base of his ears have not faded. Qu Shao buried her head in tea, letting the snow roll in her arms, rubbing back and forth.
In the end, it was the grandmother who broke the silence.
"Shake, why haven't you come to deliver fruit lately? It seems that it was all sent by your mother, and after so long no see, grandma misses you. β
"Grandma, I miss you too! But I ...... It's been a bit busy lately, uh...... I'm busy doing my homework......"
"It's good to do your homework...... We're really good kids who study hard! β
Pei Yue: Hehe.
Grandma glanced at the big fruit basket on the table with a smile, and said curiously: "Then what's going on with this fruit basket?" I remember I only bought three kinds of fruit......"
Qu Shao shook the big fruit basket and opened it, and there were dozens of well-matched imported fruits, as well as a can of her family's signature "secret brine pineapple".
"Grandma, this fruit basket was specially sent by my mother, in order to thank you for helping our family introduce business, and you must try this can of "secret brine pineapple", this is our family's ancestral signature craft! β
"Your mother is so polite, thank her for me! I just said that I received this intention, but these fruits are not cheap, and I have to give money to pay for them, otherwise next time grandma will be embarrassed to buy your fruits......"
"Oh, no, no, that's a little bit of our shop's heart. If I take your money, won't I ruin this intention, and my mother won't be able to spare me when I go home......"
"In that case, well, grandma will take it." The old lady said with a smile. She got up and went upstairs, and after a while came down with a small, intricately designed royal blue box.
Pei Yue: ?
The moment he saw the box, he knew what it contained.
No way?
Grandma is going to give this to her?!
The small royal blue box was handed to Qu Shao's eyes, her face was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to reach out to take it.
"Grandma...... W-what is this? β
The old lady opened the treasure box, and inside was a silver necklace with a slender chain, and a royal blue elephant fell in the middle.
"It's a return gift from grandma. Everything is still exchanged, in our family there is no such thing as receiving gifts in vain, this small necklace grandma will give you as a return gift. β
This time it was Qu Shaosha's turn to be embarrassed, she waved her hand again and again, saying that she would never accept such a valuable thing.
Pei Yue snorted coldly on the side: "It's not valuable, it's just very meaningful......"
It was a small gift from his deceased grandfather, who had brought back from abroad to give to his grandmother, along with this necklace and the red rope that had been hanging around his neck.
The old lady glanced at him and said, "Talkative." β
She beckoned Qu to sit beside her, and simply put the silver necklace on her with her own hands. This time Qu Sha Sha couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him and accept the return gift.
The silver light on the white neck is very beautiful. Heavy snow was attracted by the silver light, and even approached her neck that kept bending and shaking, which made her itch very much.
Pei Yue's face darkened.
In fact, in addition to sending the fruit basket today, Qu Shaoyao has another thing. Whether this matter can succeed or not depends entirely on whether the black-faced god next to him is willing to lend a hand regardless of his previous suspicions.
Therefore, Qu Shao did not dare to be as presumptuous as usual. When the old lady went upstairs, she hurriedly picked up the heavy snow, took out her math homework book, dragged Pei Yue and walked to the study, asking for math problems.
Pei Yue: ??
Do you dare to go back to your old business?
In the study, Qu sat on the armchair she usually sat on weekdays, the snow was rolling happily on her knees, she was absentmindedly stroking the cat, but her eyes were always staring at Pei Yue who was looking down and flipping through the book next to the desk.
She didn't speak, and neither did Pei Yue.
One hesitates, the other ignores every day.
The two people seem to suddenly have an inexplicable tacit understanding, and no one is willing to break it.
Qu shook her mind as she thought about how to speak, as the request she was about to make sounded like an easy one he could refuse. But she was determined to give it a try, because Qu's mother's words woke her up.
"If something goes wrong, you should face it bravely, find the root cause of the problem, and then find a way to solve it, so that the other party can feel your sincere attitude and sincerely apologize......"
She thought about it for a long time and felt that the root of the problem was that she didn't take the study group seriously, and chose a deceptive way to avoid doing the problem, which broke the heart of her good friend.
And the solution is for her to study seriously with a correct attitude, and then make the topic herself, so that Xia Chengxi can feel her sincere attitude and accept her sincere apology.
Soβ
Qu Shaoyao took a deep breath, looked at the side face of Qingjun who lowered his head and flipped through the book, and said the request that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"Pei Yue, you ...... Can you teach me to do math? β
Pei Yue raised his head from the book, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
οΌ
Did he hear him right?
Is this pineapple essence so polite today?
Wait, what did she just say?
ββ¦β¦ Teach you to do math problems? β
"Yes."
Qu shook his head, his expression was unprecedentedly serious. She observed Pei Yue's face and asked cautiously, "...... May I? β
A hint of mockery flashed on Pei Yue's face, and he sneered: "Haven't I been "teaching" you to do math problems? β
"It's not that kind of "teaching", it's ...... Really teach. β
"What is true teaching?"
"That's it...... I want to know the idea and process of solving the problem, and I...... I want to learn to do it myself."
Pei Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Shao for a moment, as if he had heard something particularly interesting.
"Why, I finally found out that the answer to the white prostitute is not fragrant? Know that it's shameful to get something for nothing? β
