Chapter 224 How will Bai Qingxia repay you?
“Making dumplings?”
Seeing that she insisted on handing over the milk tea, Lu Yuanqiu reached out to take it.
Bai Qingxia nodded: "Chunchun asked me to participate. The milk tea shop over there held a competition at the door. Whoever makes the most dumplings in five minutes can win a free cup of milk tea."
"Do you like milk tea?"
"This is for you..."
The girl raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes.
Lu Yuanqiu was speechless for a moment. He turned his head and gestured to the direction of the clock tower. Bai Qingxia hurriedly followed him.
"Chunchun...you call me so affectionately."
"She asked me to call her that."
"Then you can call me Qiuqiu."
Lu Yuanqiu stopped talking and turned to look at her. Bai Qingxia opened her mouth slightly, as if she was stuck, then shook her head to refuse, looking a little shy.
Lu Yuanqiu knew this was the case.
Bai Qingxia seemed to have thought of something. She reached into her pocket, took out a handful of candies and put them into Lu Yuanqiu's pocket: "I also won these candies. I'll give them to you."
"What kind of competition is this?"
"Pinch the balls."
Lu Yuanqiu: “…”
He couldn't help but complain: "Why are you like my grandma, going out to earn delicious food and bringing it back for me to eat, right?"
Bai Qingxia smiled and nodded at him when she heard that, without denying it.
Lu Yuanqiu stuffed the milk tea back into her hands and said, "Drink it. I won it with great difficulty, so give it to me."
She didn't take it, but opened her right palm. Lu Yuanqiu saw a plastic straw lying in this small palm.
The girl said expectantly, "I asked for an extra straw. When you finish drinking, you can leave some for me so I can try it."
Just as she finished her words, a gust of wind blew the straw in her hand away, and it rolled to the side of the road.
Bai Qingxia screamed "Ouch" and was about to run over to pick it up, but found that the plastic straw had rolled under the butt of a little boy. The little boy in open-crotch pants was squatting on the side of the road peeing, with his mother standing next to him.
The little boy, his mother, and Bai Qingxia looked down at the straw in the urine, then looked up and stared at each other. The atmosphere was stiff.
The little boy's mother smiled embarrassedly, shook her child, and quickly carried him away.
Bai Qingxia looked at the ground with a frustrated look on her face.
Lu Yuanqiu followed, stroking his chin with a regretful tone, and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing I can do about it. Do you mind using the straw I used? Or you can drink it first. I have to make it clear in advance that I don't mind using the straw you used. After all, I don't dislike you."
Bai Qingxia frowned: "You drink it, I don't want to drink it."
"You dislike me, don't you?" Lu Yuanqiu suddenly glared at her, his tone threatening.
Bai Qingxia quickly shook her head: "I didn't..."
"No?" Lu Yuanqiu put in the straw and drank it, glancing at her with his chin raised: "No, right? I drank it first and left some for you. If you don't drink it, you are disgusted with me."
Seeing the girl's ears turning red from the embarrassment, he drank and laughed.
"Oh, it's quite delicious." Lu Yuanqiu praised with a raised eyebrow. It was not known whether he said it from the bottom of his heart or deliberately for the girl to hear. Anyway, Bai Qingxia was indeed staring at the milk tea in Lu Yuanqiu's hand with envy. She felt itchy after hearing it, because Liu Wangchun also told her that this one was delicious, so she chose this one.
The two walked to the outskirts of the crowd near the clock tower. After Lu Yuanqiu drank half of the milk tea, he generously handed it to her, deliberately not looking at the side.
It was approaching twelve o'clock, and the boy's mouth curled up slightly as he heard the "gurgling" sound of the drink almost finished next to him.
He held the bag in front of him and listened to the roaring countdown coming from all around him, "Five!"
"Four!" "Three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Bai Qingxia raised her head and watched the pointer point to 12. The lingering bells in her ears and the thunderous cheers sounded at the same time, and the entire pedestrian street became lively.
"Happy New Year..." She whispered in agreement with the crowd.
After saying that, she turned her head to look around and found that Lu Yuanqiu was unzipping his schoolbag and actually took out a pink scarf from it.
The boy said, "Since you don't even knit a scarf for yourself, I'll give you one as a New Year's gift. It's not expensive, but it's just a token of my appreciation."
Bai Qingxia's face was full of surprise.
Lu Yuanqiu wrapped the pink scarf around the girl's neck and kept nagging: "Look how good I am to you. I gave you a scarf and helped you put it on. Unlike you, you had to beg me to put it on before you put it on."
Bai Qingxia felt embarrassed by what he said, but she still smiled happily as she touched the corner of her scarf.
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly blew air into his right hand, raised his hand sharply towards the sky, and quickly reached into his schoolbag. "Hey! Hey!" With two sounds, he took out a pink knitted hat with two small balls hanging on the side from his bag like magic.
He smiled and said, "I'll give you another hat."
Bai Qingxia stared at the hat until Lu Yuanqiu put it on her head. Then she looked at the girl, who was all pink, with satisfaction and smiled, "It looks really good. Is it warm?"
"warm."
"Is Lu Yuanqiu good to you?"
"it is good."
"Then how is Bai Qingxia going to repay you?"
Bai Qingxia looked at the crowd around her. There happened to be a couple hugging and kissing next to them. She withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Yuanqiu seriously again.
……
Su Miaomiao turned to Zheng Yifeng and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Zheng Yifeng, do you want to make a New Year's wish?"
Seeing the boy standing beside her with a hat on, Su Miaomiao sighed in her heart. Her face was complicated. She opened her mouth but hesitated to speak. After a few seconds, she still said that sentence:
"Zheng Yifeng, get up..."
The young man under the hat moved. He raised his head slightly, reached out to take off the hat, then looked in the direction of the clock tower, put his hands together, put his fists on his forehead, and silently made a wish.
On the other side, Cao Shuang and Ruan Yueru excitedly shouted Happy New Year. At this time, they saw a man carrying a woman by the neck. Cao Shuang and Ruan Yueru smiled and looked at each other: "Are we coming too?"
"it is good!"
One minute later.
Cao Shuang sat on Ruan Yueru's neck expressionlessly. This was totally different from what he had imagined...
"You're really energetic. It's not in vain that you eat so much." Cao Shuang said with his head down.
Ruan Yueru was shaking with effort, and said stubbornly: "That's it! I don't even look at... I don't even look at who I am!"
……
Lu Yuanqiu noticed that Bai Qingxia was observing the kissing couple, and he immediately asked excitedly, "Have you... figured out how to repay me?"
Bai Qingxia nodded, and reluctantly took out a big rainbow lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Lu Yuanqiu: "I was going to give it to my dad, but now I give it to you..."
Lu Yuanqiu's expression froze.
"Where did it come from?"
"I won it by rolling noodles. There were two competitions at the milk tea shop."
