The Christmas party dissipated the tension and pressure brought by the final exams. By the end of the party at ten o’clock in the evening, everyone moved back to the classroom with their chairs and talked about the performance tonight.

Jennie touched her pocket uneasy, and carefully avoided the crowd.

She gave Lisa an apple, and Lisa also gave her an apple, an apple that felt hot in her hand.

Jennie moved her chair back, and thought about what she owed Lisa, something that was getting more and more unclear.

When she returned home at night, Jennie saw the door of her room wide open, and Old Lady Kim cursed, “Locking her door all the time, she must be hiding something shameless.”

Jennie originally wanted to hide the jade pendant in the room. But looking at her messed up room, she retracted this idea instantly.

Carefully, she put the small box in the most hidden place at the bottom of her school bag, zipped up the school bag, and put it on her bedside table.

She arrived at school the next day. Today was the official day of Christmas. The joy of the students have yet to fade due to the holidays. The atmosphere will probably last until the New Year’s Day holiday ends.

Especially for the freshman.

This period for early self-study the subject was Chinese. The head teacher stands at the desk and educated the students with his heart and soul. There were only ten days left until the final exam of this semester. The students said that they understood and nodded their heads obediently, but after the head teacher left those who were chatting continued to chat, while some played with their phones secretly.

The school didn’t allow students to use their mobile phones during school hours, but when there are rules there are countermeasures to go against it. More than half of the students in a class still carried their mobile phones with them, and would play hide and seek with the head teacher and grade director every day.

After Christmas Eve last night, it snowed all night and snow covered the campus in the morning.

After early self-study finished, the students who could not hold back rushed out of the classroom to have a snowball fight, especially the 13th class on the first floor, due to their close proximity to the door.

Over 70 or 80% of the students in the classroom ran outside, and only a few stayed in their seats, reading books, and secretly playing with their mobile phones. Jennie took out her exercise book as usual, and started today’s studying. She didn’t raise her eyes as she greeted Lisa as he came in.

In the middle of the winter, it was cold outside the classroom. Jennie herself was wearing thick clothes, but Lisa was still wearing thin layers like before. He had just come in from outside the classroom. When he sat down, Jennie could feel a cool chill coming from him.

Jennie looked down at his hands on the wheelchair. Without gloves, his overly pale hands seemed to be whiter than usual.

As soon as Lisa raised his head, he saw Jennie staring at his hand. He subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but he heard Jennie asking him, “Dressing like this, aren’t you cold?”

Lisa shook his head honestly, “It’s not cold.” “

He really wasn’t cold. He was very sensitive to the sun and wind, but not very sensitive to the heat and cold. Uncle Chen always wants him to wear thicker clothes, but the thick clothes wrapped around his body, and the dense cloth pressed on his skin, this feeling was even more difficult for him to accept.

But his fingers did freeze stiffly.

When he talked, he always stared at people habitually. Many people thought he was weird before because of this, but Jennie never thought that there was anything wrong with it. Lisa continued to look at her while talking to Jennie, his eyes couldn’t help but fall on Jennie’s neck.

It was empty and there was nothing.

Lisa suddenly stopped talking.

Jennie was stunned by his straight eyes, followed Lisa’s gaze, only to find that Lisa was looking at her neck, and after thinking for two seconds, she hurriedly explained, “I was afraid of breaking it, so I didn’t wear it. .”

After opening the schoolbag, she carefully took out the small box from the bottom.

The box opened, and the shiny and delicate jade pendant was nestled in a small velvet box.

Lisa watched Jennie take out the box from her school bag, and stared at the jade pendant for a long time, before he suddenly reached out and took the box.

He took the jade pendant out, and unhooked the red string from the bottom of the box, before handing it to Jennie.

Jennie was stunned and hurriedly explained: “I have to work every day, and I might break it accidentally.”

“It’s okay,” Lisa with his hand still up, pushed it forward a bit, “Put it on. “

Jennie stared at the hands of the young boy holding the jade pendant for a long time, and then stared at his face for a long time. Finally, she took the pendant in his hands and put the red string around her neck.

The teenager’s nervous and persistent mood finally recovered slowly. He wanted to laugh, but he didn’t know how to laugh. So the corners of his lips formed a slightly strange arc.

Jennie didn’t wear it, so Lisa couldn’t help but worry whether or not Jennie didn’t like it.

Jennie tied the red rope with her hands behind her neck, but she couldn’t get a strong grip on the string. She was very careful and worried that it might fall off if it wasn’t tied properly.

She looked up and looked around the classroom, there were only five or six people left. The closest person was Mino, who was introverted and didn’t go outside to play. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Why don’t you wait for me to go home, then I’ll wear it.”

Lisa still looked at her and did not speak.

Jennie had no choice but to turn her head and say to Lisa, “Then why don’t you help me, I can’t tie it myself.”

Lisa’s heart was calm before, but when he heard her words, he couldn’t react for a long time.

Help… help with what…did he need to help Jennie tie the string…

His finger trembles a bit, before he hesitantly retracted them.

He dared not.

Everyone was playing outside. Only five or six people remain in the classroom while doing their own things. Only Mino, who was sitting very close, seemed to feel something. He subconsciously glanced at Jennie and Lisa. He thought for a long time before tentatively saying, “Do you want me to help?”

Immediately, Lisa’s hand stretched out, his fingers clenching the red rope,

“No.”

Jennie hurriedly leaned her body down, so that Lisa could have better access to the necklace.

Mino turned around again with a dazed expression on his face, and couldn’t help but take another look.

However, despite him only helping someone tie a pendant, Lisa’s expression made people nervous. His face showed traces of fear as if he was scared he might accidentally drop the pendant because he wasn’t holding it firmly.

Lisa really was nervous.

During the time that they were sitting at the same table, they had never been so close. A few times, Jennie had asked Lisa to wake her up when she was sleeping and Lisa had always felt that that was close enough, but now, they were even closer to one another.

Lisa’s cold fingers that were holding the red rope was a little bit unstable, and after his fingertips accidentally touched Jennie’s warm skin, they quivered subconsciously.

From time to time, Jennie could feel the touch of Lisa’s cold fingers on her neck. She wanted to ask Lisa if he really wasn’t cold, but she seemed to feel his nervousness, so she continued to bend her neck without saying a word. Lisa.

After a while, Lisa said in relief, “Okay.”

He quickly sat upright again, but after a while, he couldn’t help but glance at her and watched her smile before looking at her neck. The jade pendant swayed gently on her chest, and suddenly there was a slight warmth in his cold eyes.

This feeling is very subtle, similar to the unspeakable satisfaction and joy of just seeing his own name and Jennie’s name listed together.

After the second class, the sun finally came out and the snow began to slowly melt away bit by bit. The students played with the snow all morning and slowly lost interest. After returning to the classroom, they were brought back to the topic back to yesterday’s party.

There were nearly twenty shows in the evening, including handsome and beautiful women, such as Irene from Class 13, Tzuyu from Class 1, beautiful girls of all colors, and even star student Hao Ying from Class 5, who was forced by the head teacher to perform a sketch .

Hao Ying played a fluent and rich second generation. Taking advantage of current events at the time, a classic storyline of “My dad is Li Gang” left a deep impression on the students that night.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls were always full of interest in beautiful girls and handsome boys. The party had ended, but they are still enthusiastically discussing who was the most beautiful yesterday. Finally, it has gradually extended to count the handsome boys in the school and the beauties.

Because of her dreamy dress yesterday, Irene touched the hearts of many boys and ranked among the best in this group.

Jennie is not interested in this. Everyone saw Irene’s beauty and Jennie also agreed. She is indeed beautiful and excellent.

Irene blushed when she heard the theoretical voices of her classmates.

Lisa also heard it.

He is not interested in these types of things, but he will always be interested in Jennie.

Hearing the other students’ comments, he glanced at Jennie’s face, and suddenly remembered Jennie wearing shiny antlers when she walked out of the auditorium on Christmas Eve.

The purple-blue light shone on her face and Lisa, who had never had any idea about beauty, felt that Jennie was pretty for the first time.

Was she ugly?

He fixedly looked at Jennie’s side profile, the outline of her face was very beautiful, the bridge of her nose was high and beautiful, and the curvature on the tails of the eyes was also beautiful.

Jennie turned her head after being uncomfortably stared at by Lisa, and Lisa met Jennie’s dark and bright eyes, he stared at her eyes again, thinking that these eyes were the best.

He really thought that Jennie was pretty, but the classmates around him, why didn’t anyone mention Jennie’s name?

The one they mentioned most was a girl named Irene.

It took Lisa two classes worth of time to finally find out who Irene is.

He looked at Irene’s side profile for a long time, then set his gaze on Jennie’s face again.

A girl sitting behind Irene tapped Irene and whispered to her, “Irene, I think that Lisa’s been looking at you strangely for the past two days.”

Irene was taken aback and looked hurriedly at Suho before glancing back, “You must be mistaken.”

“I’m not wrong, he really has been watching you.”

Lisa, who had been “watching Irene”, didn’t know what was currently happening. Instead he continued to compare Irene and Jennie and realized that the more he did the more he discovered Jennie’s superiority.

The bridge of her nose was not as strong as Jennie’s, and the outline of her eyes were not as distinctive as Jennie’s. Irene’s facial contour was also too round, and her height was far inferior to Jennie…

He really thought that Jennie was much better than Irene. But when everyone talked about beautiful girls, Jennie was never named.

After school in the afternoon, Lisa was sitting in the car, and in front, Uncle Chen was turning on the radio to listen to the news again. Lisa was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, “Is Jennie good-looking?”

Uncle Chen who was listening to the radio was stunned for a long time. “What?”

Lisa was still expressionless, but repeated it again, “Do you think Jennie looks good?”

Uncle Chen was so shocked that he didn’t even hear what the news at all.

Why did Lisa suddenly ask this question out of the blue?

Why did he suddenly ask whether or not Jennie was good looking?

What did he need to say so that Lisa would be happy?

Uncle Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind for a while, but in the end he decided to answer Lisa’s question from an objective perspective.

“Actually, just looking at the facial features, Miss Kim’s facial features are very good.” As an elderly person with normal aesthetics, he could still answer accurately. “However, one can see Miss Kim is chronically malnourished at first glance. You can see that she works every day and her family conditions aren’t good. So her nutritional intake isn’t good enough either, because of that her complexion isn’t very good. If her complexion was good, then her whole person would be different…”

Uncle Chen was still talking, but Lisa looked at the street lamp outside the car window. No one knew what he was thinking.

For Christmas and New Year’s break students were given a few days off. After the three-day holiday for New Year’s was over, they began to slowly take their minds off of things and focus on the final exam.

However, as Chinese New Year approached, Jennie’s part-time job was even busier than before. Sometimes she returns home at night, even after one o’clock in the morning.

Lisa looked at Jennie with a gloomy expression, Jennie’s complexion was worse than before.

Jennie and Lisa had been sitting next to each other for a long time, and gradually she learned to see the different emotions on Lisa’s expressionless face. Not to mention that Lisa seemed to be more quiet than usual today.

Jennie turned to look at him and asked him in a low voice.

“What’s wrong?”

After a while, Lisa asked her without thinking, “How long are you going to work?”

Jennie couldn’t figure out why he suddenly asked about her job, and answered honestly, ” It should last until the end of the first year of high school.”

Lisa’s eyes grew gloomy.

What exactly happened here?

When Jennie asked again, Lisa remained silent, saying nothing.

Lisa couldn’t lie, so no one could pry a word out of his mouth when he encountered a question that he didn’t want to answer.

As a result, when the next day came, Jennie arrived at class and began to study. When Lisa came in, she looked up at him and said good morning. But then Lisa took out a palm-sized box from his schoolbag.

Jennie glanced at it and asked, “What is this.”

Lisa pushed the box in front of Jennie, “For you.”

For her?

Jennie’s heart trembled again.

She was really afraid of Lisa giving her things. She owed him too much already. Every time she heard Lisa say “for you”, she felt that her conscience was being condemned. She had accepted it last time, but after the apple pendant, Jennie vowed that she would never accept something from Lisa again.

Lisa watched Jennie stay still and did not open the box, and said, “Aunt Chen made it for you.”

Lisa reached out and opened the box. A nutritious porridge that was packaged inside. The fog from its heat could be seen through the transparent glass. She even saw shrimp inside the soup.

After a while, Jennie took a deep breath and said, “I ate this morning already.”

Lisa looked at Jennie with a fixed gaze, and thought for a while, “That’s okay”, and took the box and put it in front of Jennie, “It’s not much.”

The portion wasn’t a lot, and she should be able to finish it.

Jennie: …

“I really did eat earlier, I’m not hungry”, Jennie repeated it again.

In the evening, he went to the western restaurant to spend money and now he was giving her something else in the morning. Despite her knowing that it wasLisa’s kindness, Jennie really couldn’t accept it.

Lisa stiffened all over, and the good mood that came in this morning disappeared in an instant.

Uncle Chen said that Jennie was malnourished, so Lisa asked the dietitian to specially make a recipe for her. Because it was not easy to carry large nutritious meals in school, Uncle Chen finally asked Aunt Chen to make nutritious porridge.

He had seen many students in the class drinking porridge in the classroom.

No one knew that when he came out with this nutritious porridge in the morning, there was a faint joy and expectation in his heart, but now Jennie didn’t want it.

Lisa couldn’t describe how he felt at the moment. He didn’t understand this complex irritability and anger, mixed with loss, grievance, and sadness.

He looked at the nutritious porridge blankly, and turned his head coldly after a while,

“If you don’t like it, then throw it away.”
