Chapter 208: Don’t Eat Socks
Chapter 208: You Can’t Eat Socks…
But Lu Yuanqiu didn't expect that he also had his own Santa Claus, and this "Santa Claus" came earlier than them. It seemed that he came at almost the earliest time that day students could enter the school.
“You’re playing Santa Claus?”
Lu Yuanqiu walked down the stairs while stomping the snow off his shoes and asked the girl with a smile.
He appeared calm, but he felt uneasy inside.
When Cao Shuang just said "Ruan Yueru is worth it", Lu Yuanqiu also told himself in his heart that Bai Qingxia was also worth it, so he was willing to make this part of his character change for Bai Qingxia.
And now seeing that the girl was also here, and had arrived earlier than him, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly didn't know what to say... It was as if he had lost the ability to express himself, and he could only ask dryly:
Are you playing Santa Claus?
Meeting Bai Qingxia at this point in time was a plot development he could never have imagined.
"I...I didn't, I..."
She stood by the tree, holding her scarf, scratched her head, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"You guys chat first, I'm going to be Santa Claus No. 3..." Cao Shuang sighed softly, looked at Bai Qingxia with some envy, and said to Lu Yuanqiu.
"Go."
Seeing Cao Shuang climbing up the ladder with socks in his hand, Lu Yuanqiu also walked towards Bai Qingxia.
He stood in front of the girl, put his socks and gloves into his pockets, then rubbed his hands, breathed out, and covered Bai Qingxia's ears with his hands.
These two soft ears feel cold to the touch. They must have been frozen in the snow.
The girl raised her head, picked up the scarf in her hand, and explained: "I knitted this a long time ago and wanted to give it to you, but..."
She paused for a long time here.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and continued, "But I don't know why I should give it to you? Would it be weird to knit a scarf for a boy without thinking? Is this behavior too ambiguous?"
Bai Qingxia lowered her eyes and her face turned red, not sure if it was because of the cold or shyness, but she didn't answer, which was considered as keeping silent about this sentence.
The girl continued, "Yesterday I suddenly thought that the director probably wouldn't be able to see your wish post, so I wanted to use this scarf as your Christmas gift. It seems to be in line with your wish, but I remember what you wanted... was actually gloves?"
She raised her head and spoke, her voice getting weaker and weaker for confirmation, but the expression on her face remained serious, as if she was repeating the solution to a math problem.
Lu Yuanqiu stared at her beautiful eyes and liked the seriousness in her words.
The boy continued to cover Bai Qingxia's ears and responded with a smile: "It's okay, it's all warmth, it's not off topic."
The girl also smiled happily.
Lu Yuanqiu then asked: "But why don't you pretend to be more decent and at least bring a pair of socks."
As soon as she finished speaking, as if to prove her "professionalism", Bai Qingxia quickly reached into her pocket and actually took out a pair of black middle-length socks...
Lu Yuanqiu choked.
She lowered her head but glanced upwards: "The scarf is too big. Only this kind of socks can fit it. But it looks too ugly to put it in. It looks bloated on the outside. Besides, the director wouldn't wear this kind of socks... You can definitely guess that it's mine."
It was very bulky...but she actually tried to put it in.
"Actually..." Lu Yuanqiu said helplessly: "I also know that the director is unlikely to see my sticky note. If I saw this scarf, I would definitely guess that it was from you."
Bai Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth as if accepting her fate: "Okay then..."
Lu Yuanqiu moved his hands from her ears to her face and rubbed it gently: "Since I have seen it all, please help me put it on."
"You wear it yourself..."
"I can't, I really can't. I've hardly ever worn a scarf. Tsk, you didn't hesitate when you helped my grandma put it on. You really treat me differently." After listening to Lu Yuanqiu's complaints, Bai Qingxia stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and wrapped the scarf around his neck, circle after circle. Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head, and their cheeks moved closer unconsciously, and even the white breath they exhaled mixed together.
The young man's face gradually moved towards the innocent face below. Bai Qingxia was stunned and her eyes were dull for a long time. When Lu Yuanqiu's mouth was about to touch her face, she turned her head in panic to look in the direction of Cao Shuang and quickly took a half step back.
Bai Qingxia immediately clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
Lu Yuanqiu was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
He then sneered: "You don't think I want to kiss you, do you? I want to help you blow away the snowflakes on your eyelashes. They fell from my hair when you were wrapping your scarf just now..."
"...I didn't think so. No need to blow." Bai Qingxia felt shy and embarrassed. She then noticed that her left eye was a little blurry. She quickly raised her little hand to wipe away the snowflakes.
Lu Yuanqiu stepped forward again, puffed his mouth and blew towards her right eye, blowing off the snowflakes on her right eyelashes. Bai Qingxia quickly closed her eyes.
"The eyelashes are so long that they can catch snowflakes."
Seeing her shy look, Lu Yuanqiu smiled and teased her.
"Oh, by the way." He took out his socks and pink gloves from his pocket and said, "What a coincidence, I came here so early to bring you warmth."
Bai Qingxia opened her eyes wide in surprise. She looked up at Lu Yuanqiu and asked in disbelief, "Is it for me?"
"Well, I'm going to dress up as your Santa Claus today, too."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at her with a smile, then stuffed both gloves into his stockings and put them in Bai Qingxia's hands: "Here, this is your Christmas present!"
The girl took it with both hands and shook the bloated sock gently, feeling very happy.
Lu Yuanqiu said, "Give me your socks too. How can it be a complete Christmas gift without socks?"
After hearing this, Bai Qingxia lowered her head, took out a pair of middle-length socks from her pocket and handed them to Lu Yuanqiu.
Her straightforward and frank attitude surprised Lu Yuanqiu.
"Really give it to me?"
"Ah."
Lu Yuanqiu took the middle-length socks and looked at them, laughing: "Fortunately, the socks are not wrinkled, otherwise they would not taste good."
After hearing this, the girl's face changed immediately. She quickly reached out and grabbed a corner of the socks, shaking her head: "You can't eat it..."
Others might say this as a joke, but Lu Yuanqiu might be serious.
Lu Yuanqiu refused to let go: "No, I want to eat!"
"You can't eat it... I won't give it to you, give it back to me."
"If you don't pay it back, then I won't pay it back."
Cao Shuang got down the ladder and saw the two men tugging at a sock. He followed their gaze for a moment and said awkwardly, "Excuse me...Sorry to interrupt. Shall we leave or not?"
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and responded: "Let's go."
"Look at you, you're so stingy. I don't want your socks."
He returned the socks to Bai Qingxia, who gave him a dim look and quickly put the socks back into her pocket.
