"According to Little Yu'er's character, she will definitely ask me to have dinner with her."
"Shen Youchu is silly. Maybe she is not sensitive to this western festival. Maybe she will just ignore it."
On the way back to school from the New Century Electronics Factory, Chen Hansheng analyzed all kinds of possibilities according to the characters and habits of the two people.
However, before he reached school, Xiao Rongyu called him.
"Chen Hansheng, you made me cry again that night when we were building the snowman."
Xiao Rongyu said on the phone.
"Yes, it's my fault."
Chen Hansheng apologized honestly.
"Last week, I asked you and Senior Gu to have dinner together, but you refused after you agreed."
Xiao Rongyu continued.
"There is something going on in the business base, and I specially explained it to you later."
Chen Hansheng continued to apologize.
"And …"
Xiao Rongyu was about to continue.
Chen Hansheng directly interrupted, "It's 11: 55 pm now. If you want to quarrel, you can quarrel now. If it's 5 minutes later, it will be too deliberate."
"What?"
Xiao Rongyu still pretended not to understand on the phone.
"It's Christmas Eve tonight, let's have dinner together."
Chen Hansheng said directly, and also reminded her, "Next time, don't beat around the bush. You are tired, and so am I."
"Humph, I'm just worried that you will find an excuse to refuse again!"
… …
After solving the problem with Xiao Rongyu, Chen Hansheng went back to school to see Shen Youchu's attitude. She was reviewing her lessons the whole afternoon. Sometimes she accidentally looked at Chen Hansheng, and even lowered her head in embarrassment.
"She is so naive, she probably doesn't know about Christmas."
Chen Hansheng obviously underestimated the influence of a group environment on an individual. At around 6 pm, Shen Youchu hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind and said, "Let's have dinner tonight, okay?"
It might have taken a lot of courage for her to say this. Her voice was clearly trembling.
Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment. He thought that this should be the first time that Shen Youchu took the initiative to ask him to eat. He didn't expect that the day would be so unlucky.
Shen Youchu saw Chen Hansheng's slightly hesitant expression, so she immediately waved her small hand and said, "Then, then I won't eat. You go ahead."
After saying that, she lowered her head and rummaged through her small cloth bag. Suddenly, she pulled out a big red apple.
"This is for you."
Shen Youchu blushed. She lowered her head and held the big apple in front of Chen Hansheng.
"My Christmas present?"
Chen Hansheng was even more surprised.
"Yeah."
Shen Youchu raised her head and glanced at Chen Hansheng. Her little face was now as red as an apple. She was probably worried that Chen Hansheng would not accept it. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with timidity and anticipation.
"Let's go. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Chen Hansheng exhaled. He reached for the big apple and put it in the bag. In such a situation, he couldn't just walk away. Shen Youchu's good intentions couldn't be wasted.
"Hotpot, okay?"
Shen Youchu said softly. Maybe in her heart, the hotpot in the cafeteria was the ultimate feast.
Chen Hansheng certainly agreed. As long as they didn't go to Eastern University for dinner tonight, they could eat in any cafeteria.
The two of them went to the second cafeteria where they ate hotpot last time. Tonight, there were obviously more couples eating here. The smell of hotpot was everywhere.
Chen Hansheng was about to pay when Shen Youchu pulled out the familiar shabby little wallet. "Can I pay?"
"Why?"
"You've given me my salary."
Shen Youchu whispered.
Chen Hansheng smiled. It was the same whoever paid.
He went to his seat, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Rongyu.
Chen Hansheng: I have something to do tonight.
Xiao Rongyu: What do you mean?
Chen Hansheng: It's not that I don't want to eat. I'll eat after I'm done.
Xiao Rongyu: Humph, this is the bottom line. Don't lie to me again!
At this time, Shen Youchu came over with the ingredients. Chen Hansheng didn't reply to the message and directly put the phone in his pocket.
Shen Youchu knew that Chen Hansheng had a big appetite, so she took the same ingredients as last time. Chen Hansheng touched his stomach quietly.
Tonight, we have to eat two meals. You have to suffer a little first. I'll treat you to yogurt tonight.
As usual, Shen Youchu waited for Chen Hansheng to eat first. Chen Hansheng urged and scolded her, but Shen Youchu blushed and refused. She insisted that Chen Hansheng eat first.
"It's already 2002. Why is there such a stupid rule?"
In the past, Chen Hansheng liked this kind of behavior which could satisfy his male chauvinism. Tonight, he hated it very much. He didn't dare to delay, so as not to reveal too much. So he ate most of the prawns and meat as usual, and then Shen Youchu picked up the chopsticks.
Shen Youchu ate very slowly, just like her character. She ate very slowly. It took her two minutes to eat a prawn. And she was afraid of wasting food, so she had to bite the prawn's head open.
After Chen Hansheng finished eating, he waited for her. He fiddled with the lighter in his hand over and over again. Sometimes, he would even pinch the lighter. It seemed that he was very anxious.
But on the surface, he was very calm. Occasionally, when Shen Youchu raised her head, Chen Hansheng would even give her a gentle and affectionate smile. After that, he would once again pinch the lighter to vent his anger.
After finishing the hotpot with great difficulty, Chen Hansheng looked at the time and saw that it was almost 7: 30. He thought that Xiao Rongyu would probably explode. However, he still insisted on sending Shen Youchu back to the dormitory.
Firstly, he wanted to show that he was very calm and was no different from usual. Secondly, he wanted to supervise and make sure that Shen Youchu didn't accidentally go to Yiwu Commodity Center after she returned to the dormitory.
… …
Chen Hansheng walked out of the school gate. He didn't have time to take the bus and rushed all the way to Yiwu Commodity Center.
Xiao Rongyu was already sitting on the bench in the Commodity Center. She even put on some light makeup. She pouted her lips, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were hidden.
"I, I'm sorry, I was too busy."
Chen Hansheng said while gasping for breath. He really didn't disguise himself at all. Originally, it should have been a 15 minutes walk, but Chen Hansheng only took 4 minutes to run over.
Xiao Rongyu waited for exactly half an hour. Just when she was about to get angry, she saw that Chen Hansheng was gasping for breath and couldn't even speak. She thought to herself that it was going to be the holidays soon, and he was indeed very busy.
Just like that, she already forgave him halfway. She also saw that Chen Hansheng was holding onto a bag in his hand.
"What's inside the bag?" Xiao Rongyu asked.
Chen Hansheng thought in his heart, damn it, why did I bring this apple over, I actually didn't notice it at all when I was holding onto it just now.
However, after Xiao Rongyu discovered the big apple, she suddenly laughed, "You, this heartless person, still know to give an apple on Christmas Eve, I'll forgive you for being late this time."
"Ah, ah, eh, right, the apple is quite big, isn't it?"
Chen Hansheng also didn't know what else to say. After stuttering for a while, he changed the topic, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Let's eat hotpot, I saw a hotpot restaurant in front when I came over just now. Hotpot in winter is good for keeping the cold away."
"Ew ~ ~"
"What's wrong with you, don't you want to eat?"
"No, I really want to eat. It's just that I just ran over too fast, so I feel a little nauseous."
After the second hotpot meal, Chen Hansheng felt that his throat was full of food. He slumped on the chair and didn't say a word.
Xiao Rongyu thought that Chen Hansheng was tired, "Why don't we go back now?"
Chen Hansheng struggled and waved his hand, "Today is a bit special, I'll go shopping with you."
Little Yu 'er was full of joy. She only felt that Chen Hansheng had become gentle, but she didn't think that he just wanted to digest the food.
When they went back at night, Xiao Rongyu took out an exquisite small table lamp from her bag, "This is a Christmas present for you. Originally, I didn't intend to give it to you, but your performance later on was pretty good, so I decided to give it to you."
Chen Hansheng had a look of disgust, "Why is it pink?"
"I picked it, of course I picked my favorite color."
Xiao Rongyu proudly raised her chin, held onto the apple and said, "Tonight, I'm going to study and revise, don't call me."
After Xiao Rongyu went back to the dormitory, Chen Hansheng swung the pink table lamp in his hand, then went to the female dormitory of the finance department and called Shen Youchu down.
"Tonight, you gave me an apple, and I feel quite apologetic in my heart, so I specially went to buy a small table lamp, I hope you like it."
