Love Letters

Chapter 149 Gift

After a while, she finally came to her senses and got up from the ground.

She looked up at the person in front of her, her posture still upright.

Like a bamboo pole or a tree in summer...

Snowflakes were floating all over his body, and his jet-black hair was dotted with tiny dots of silver, as if it had been highlighted.

It was not completely dark yet, and he was covered in a thin veil of twilight, shining brightly in the snow.

He Miao was a little confused, "I remember that the buses here have stopped running, right?"

How did he get here in the middle of the night when it was snowing so hard?

She suddenly looked up at him, "So, how did you get here?"

"I met someone from the neighborhood on the way and gave him a ride."

Xu Mobai said it lightly, as if it was a very easy thing.

He lowered his head and his eyes fell on the girl in front of him. Like him, her hair was covered with snow.

He brushed her off subconsciously, but he didn't expect it to get more and more.

It started snowing again, in flakes like cotton wool.

"Where did you get to?"

“Huai River.”

There was calmness in his eyes, and he had the refined appearance of a good student.

Huaishui is a nearby town, but it is also far from here......

"So you walked the rest of the way?"

"Ah."

He nodded slightly.

It looks like the whole person belongs to the darkness outside the light.

In such a quiet evening, it sounded unusually gentle, making her feel inexplicably at ease.

"But what are you doing here?"

He Miao regained his senses and finally asked the key question.

"I......."

Xu Mobai lowered his head and said softly, "I'm home alone."

"Oh."

He Miao's reaction was indifferent and he showed little interest.

"and then?"

She deliberately kept a calm mind, neither anxious nor slow, and waited for him to speak.

"Didn't you say before that you didn't know me well enough?"

Xu Mobai seemed to remember something, "Then you want to know......"

"But I don't want to know now."

He Miao frowned somewhat unhappily, looked up at him, and his voice was colder than the snow today.

Xu Mobai was rarely defeated but still shamelessly said to himself, "My parents are abroad, so I basically don't celebrate the New Year, and I'm basically alone........."

What he said was somewhat miserable.

He Miao felt a little soft-hearted.

"It's just that, it's just like that anyway."

He Miao downplayed it and didn't care at all.

"I haven't had a New Year's Eve dinner in many years."

"New Year's Eve dinner is just an ordinary meal. You don't need to pay too much attention to it. It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not."

Reason was fighting with emotion, and for the first time, He Miao felt that he was so inhuman and hard-hearted.

As she spoke, she almost forgot what nonsense she was saying.

Seeing Xu Mobai wanted to explain something, he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.

"Having said so much, is this all you want to say?"

"Ah."

"So you're ready to go back?"

He Miao urged him coldly, as if he was chasing him away.

Xu Mobai was stunned as he did not expect He Miao to react like this. He felt so embarrassed that even his face started to burn.

"I........."

He didn't know how to start, as if he was making a final struggle, "I couldn't get in touch with you, so I came to see you. I was relieved to see that you were okay."

He Miao just listened without answering, with no expression on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Are you done? I might have to go home for dinner."

She wanted to leave after saying goodbye, being incredibly cold.

"and many more!"

The person behind her suddenly pulled her back. He lowered his eyes and handed something to her, "Here."

"what?"

"A gift for exam improvement."

He smiled at her and said, "You have made great progress in Chinese and English this time. We will focus on math and physics from now on."

After a short pause, he lowered his voice, looked at the snow on the distant mountain, and said seriously: "I wanted to give it to you last time, but I forgot."

He handed the gift to her, her hands were cold, red and hard.

He was wearing a black down jacket, his wrists were slightly protruding, his face was angular, and he looked cool and noble.

Are there rewards for every improvement?

He Miao remembered the box of candy he had given her before.

"I've surpassed you this time."

She was a little smug and proud, with joy in her tone.

"Ah."

He chuckled, as if he was happier than her.

When he doesn't speak, he gives off a cool and aloof vibe; but when he speaks and smiles, he gives off a sense of ease and steadiness.

The end of his voice was evocative of a smile, and his voice was clean and gentle, like a feather gently scratching her heart.

After realizing what was happening, He Miao calmed down a lot.

Honey trap? She didn't care.

"I received the gift, you can go back by yourself."

Hearing this, the young man lowered his thick eyelashes, and his skin turned a little red due to the cold wind.

As if he was mentally prepared, he just lowered his head and remained silent for a few minutes, his lips pressed into a straight line. When he raised his eyes again, the previous sadness was gone.

He still stood there without moving, as if he didn't feel the cold, just looking at her.

His eyelashes were also kissed by the snowflakes, leaving a little fluffy white, which made him look even more charming.

After he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Okay."

He lowered his eyes, hiding the loneliness that shouldn't be in his eyes.

He Miao looked away calmly, and suddenly felt that the gift in her hand was extremely hot, making her hands and head sweat.

Is this the beginning of a self-torture tactic?

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Mobai really turned around and walked back, walking away resolutely and indifferently like a heartbroken person.

The footprints we left here have been covered by the wind and snow, and no traces can be seen.

Soon, all traces of his departure will be covered up completely, as if he had never been there.

He Miao withdrew her gaze and noticed that the box was a bit uncomfortable. She opened it and saw a pair of pink gloves with patterns of Santa Claus and elk on them.

She reached out and put one on, and a warm feeling immediately came over her, blocking the wind and snow...

In an instant, He Miao's eyes were filled with tears.

She is a person who is very empathetic, and is even more easily moved by the suffering of others than her own.

It's the typical case of the elbow turning outward.

When I looked up again, the figure gradually blurred from near to far...

He is a cold person, and his temperament blends in perfectly with the rainy and snowy night of early winter tonight.

He is so tall, but he looks lonely and helpless...

"Xu..."

She wanted to call him, but thought better of it.
