Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 455 - 329. Christmas tree

It seemed they were worried that the presence of adults might make their play less comfortable, so after arranging snacks like fried crispy meat, brown sugar rice cakes, and sliced dried fruits on the coffee table, Wu Suowei and Li Meijuan, the couple, headed back to their bedroom, freeing the living room for the six of them.

"There's also milk tea." Wu Lingyu moved food back and forth from the kitchen refrigerator, and soon the coffee table was covered with various snacks.

"Stop bringing things, come sit down and eat." Seeing her put down the milk tea and attempt to go back, Xu Qingfan reached out and pulled Yu to sit beside him.

"I didn't... I didn't yet close the fridge, didn't grab more." Wu Lingyu said, biting her lower lip in distress.

"Sit down and drink your milk tea, I'll close it." Xu Qingfan stuck a straw into the pearl milk tea and forcefully handed it to the girl.

"Oh..."

Lin Wanning bit into a pork skewer, and after chewing, her pupils instantly widened.

Waving the skewer she just bit, she waited for Xu Qingfan to come back to hand it to him, "Brother Fan, this pork skewer tastes so good, just like the old days, come have a taste!"

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at the pork skewer in her hand and said nothing, but naturally picked up a cup of milk tea, poked it open, and took a sip.

Her gaze stayed on Xu Qingfan, and when he returned, she handed him the cup she had just sipped from, "I felt a bit uncomfortable from the car ride earlier, you drink it for me."

"Why didn't you say earlier? Should I get some menthol oil to rub for you?" Xu Qingfan, believing her, took the milk tea and asked with concern.

"I'll go get the menthol oil!" Wu Lingyu immediately stood up to respond.

"Ah, Yu, no need, I just felt that way because I was looking at my phone. I'll be fine after resting a bit." Xia Xiaoxiao explained, holding the girl's hand.

Lin Wanning looked down at the pork skewer in her hand, pouted, and had no choice but to continue eating it. As she ate, she didn't forget to take care of Xiaoxiao, "Then Xiao Xiao, you should rest well, and don't play with your phone later when we go back."

"Yeah, playing with your phone in a car can easily cause dizziness, I felt a bit dizzy earlier so I stopped."

"We still have motion sickness medicine at home, Xiao Xiao, do you want it?"

"Eating something sour might help."

Everyone chimed in one after another.

Xia Xiaoxiao pretended to have a headache and waved her hand, refusing Wu Lingyu's kindness.

But in reality, the girl was already secretly delighted, having successfully gotten Xu Qingfan to drink from her milk tea without drawing everyone's attention.

[If you get under the covers, I'll get under the covers; if you feed, I feed!]

After a smokeless battle, everyone finished the snacks and moved to Wu Lingyu's room.

Last time, because he was the only boy, it wasn't convenient for Lingyu to enter her boudoir, but this time he made up for it.

Unlike most girls' rooms which are decorated in pink, Wu Lingyu's room had a warm blue and white color scheme, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

The decorations in the room were almost all gifts they had given the girl over the years, none of which Wu Lingyu had lost; she neatly kept everything in her own room.

"Huh~ This wind chime, I gave it to Yu back in the second grade, and it's still here!" Xiao Ruawen saw the wind chime hanging by the window, excitedly ran over to pull it, and the chime sounded crisply.

"Wow~ this one is what I gave to Yu in the third grade!"

"This one is from me!"

Wu Lingyu's room was not small, spanning over several square meters, and for a while, everyone dispersed to search for hidden surprises inside the room.

A Christmas tree in the glass cabinet caught Xu Qingfan's attention, the kind where a bare paper tree is drenched with a solution, the paper absorbs the potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution through capillary action, and after a day or two, when the water evaporates naturally, beautiful white crystal flowers form on the trunk.

This type of Christmas tree was very popular in elementary school and sold for fifty cents a pack. However, the tree in front of him had already lost its crystals, yet it was still carefully preserved under a glass cover, which piqued Xu Qingfan's interest.

"All the frost has fallen off this Christmas tree, why do you keep it in the cabinet?" he asked curiously, pointing at the bare Christmas tree inside the cabinet.

The others, hearing his voice, gathered around and indeed saw the bare Christmas tree.

Only Wu Lingyu stood behind everyone, her face filled with a blissful glow, "Because this is the one you gave to me, Brother Fan."

"I gave it to you?" Xu Qingfan blinked in confusion, clearly not remembering this incident.

"Wow, Brother Qing Fan, you've never given me a Christmas tree!" Lin Wanning said this, but deep down, she wasn't envious at all, as she and Yiyi had a four-leaf clover from Brother Qing Fan, a unique four-leaf clover in the whole world.

Seeing everyone looking at her, expecting to hear the story behind the Christmas tree, Wu Lingyu clasped her hands together, narrowed her eyes in reminiscence, and began to narrate gently, "Actually, it's nothing much. It happened in the first grade; for some reason, Brother Fan bought a lot of these Christmas trees, tens of bags of them."

Wu Lingyu gestured with her hands, indicating how Xu Qingfan had been holding a pile of Christmas trees at that time.

"Then Brother Fan accidentally dropped a pack on the ground, and I just happened to be passing by, so I ran over to pick it up and wanted to return it to Brother Fan."

"I know, I know, that must have been the case!" Xiao Ruawen pretended she was Brother Fan being called by Yu, imitating Xu Qingfan's actions and expressions from that time, and turned around with a sharp look in her eyes, saying, "This pack, take it."

"Mhm," Wu Lingyu nodded dumbly.

"Haha, I knew it, Brother Fan just loves to act cool!"

"Will you keep quiet and let Yu finish," Xu Qingfan pretended to hit her, and Xiao Ruawen instantly hid behind Xia Xiaoxiao, looking aggrieved.

"Yu, what else did Brother Qing Fan say after that?" Lin Wanning imagined that scene, just like the first encounter between the male and female leads in a campus idol drama.

"At that moment, Brother Fan said, 'Today is Christmas, this pack is for you, I am Xu Qingfan from class sixteen, merry Christmas,'" Wu Lingyu's face lit up with a sweet smile, recalling every detail of her acquaintance with Xu Qingfan, which were the most precious memories of her life.

"What happened after that?" Xiao Ruawen continued to inquire.

"Nothing else, I didn't even get a chance to speak before Brother Fan ran away," Wu Lingyu pouted like a little girl.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone instantly visualized the scene, because that was very Xu Qingfan.

"Now I remember, back in the first grade, all the girls in our class gave you cards, and you returned the favor with Christmas trees!" The long-sealed memory was unlocked, and Xia Xiaoxiao also found her own picture.

"So it was that Christmas tree, I kept it in the dormitory, but later I didn't know where it went!"

"I don't remember that."

"That was the first semester of the first grade, so Yu already knew Brother Fan back then!" Xiao Ruawen discovered an interesting point, saying excitedly.

"Mhm," Wu Lingyu shyly looked at Xu Qingfan.

"It means we were meant to be in our past lives, otherwise, with so many teachers and students in the school, how come I didn't give it to anyone else but to Yu!" he said, ruffling the girl's hair, his gaze still fixed on the Christmas tree inside the glass showcase.

Although he didn't remember this incident anymore, listening to Wu Lingyu tell the story brought an indescribable joy to his heart.

Just because it was given by Xu Qingfan, the girl had preserved an ordinary Christmas tree for nine years and would continue to do so for countless more nine years. With such devotion, who could not be moved?
