Shiqi was stunned, and even forgot to pretend to cry.

Tang Xia lowered her head slightly and apologized, "I'm sorry, Shiqi, but this shell is very important to me."

In fact, she has nothing to be sorry for, but the gentleness in her bones always makes Tang Xia take responsibility that she shouldn't bear at certain times.

Shiqi didn't speak, and she didn't know if she was confused by the sudden tough attitude of this always good-tempered sister. The little girl showed a trace of confusion on her face, and she didn't make a fuss again very rarely.

This made Tang Xia not used to it. She frowned and thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she asked tentatively, "I have another shell at home. If you really like it, can I give it to you?"

Han Yu said to throw away the previous one. After thinking about it, she thought that what the young man was talking about should be the shell that Xiao Chi gave her.

It's a pity to throw it away, after all, it's someone's wish, if Shiqi really likes it, donating it as a gift can be considered.

"Is there another one?" the little girl asked, but her eyes were still fixed on the shell in Tang Xia's hand, "but this one is beautiful..."

Girls all like pink, especially children of this age, who have an indescribable preference for pink.

"..." Tang Xia held her temper, "That's also very beautiful."

"Is it pink sister?"

really…

Tang Xia choked.

Xiao Chi's shell is not pink, but light yellow. It can be seen what Shiqi means, it's the rhythm that pink doesn't want.

The girl gritted her teeth, broke her heart, and said a word—

"yes!"

As long as we can get back the shell that Han Yu gave us, as long as we can make Shiqi no longer have any intentions about it, it doesn't matter if he is pink or yellow!

"Really?" Shiqi jumped up in an instant, and even grabbed Tang Xia's clothes with both hands, looking very cute, "Then sister, can you bring it to me when you go back this week?"

Tang Xia nodded quickly.

My aunt laughed outside the door.

When the girl came out of the bedroom, she sighed, "Xiao Xia, that girl Shiqi, you are the only one who can cure her." Halfway through her words, she paused for a moment, then continued, "Little Shiqi, maybe sometimes she is not sensible, If you are unhappy somewhere, just tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you."

Tang Xia couldn't laugh or cry.

In fact, she has no way to cure Shiqi.

she just...

I want to protect what I cherish seriously, and not change my principles and bottom line because of anything.

"My aunt treats you just like your own daughter. You don't have to feel embarrassed."

While in a trance, my aunt patted Tang Xia's shoulder lightly, turned around and went into the study, put the fruit plate on the desk, and gently reminded her, "Take a rest, Auntie won't bother you."

Tang Xia nodded obediently, and also entered the study.

After my aunt went out, she closed the door behind her.

The room was silent.

The annoyance of ten minutes ago vanished.

Tang Xia carefully chewed on her aunt's words, feeling warm in her heart, but also mixed with sourness.

My aunt loves her very much, but... after all, my aunt is an aunt, not a mother.

The difference of one word makes a world of difference.

Tang Xia lowered her eyes, feeling the peace of mind of the shell in her hand.

The days passed like running water, and in the blink of an eye, the girl had already lived with her aunt for a week. When going to school on Friday morning, Shiqi got up to remind Tang Xia that when she came over on Sunday afternoon, she had to remember to bring shells.

Tang Xia responded awkwardly, and spent the whole day at school thinking about how to turn the yellow shells into pink.

Today is Friday, and she will go back to her own home after school, and then go to her aunt's house again on Sunday when her father is ready to return to school.

As a result, for two days on the weekend, Tang Xia took the time to paint the light yellow shells with paint.

Even when Han Yu invited her to have a meal with her after finishing her tuition, she was flatly rejected.

At that time, the boy was dumbfounded, "Why are you in such a hurry to go home?"

Tang Xia lied, "It's almost the end of the semester, I have to study as soon as possible."

Han Yu stared at her with piercing eyes, "I don't believe it."

"Really," she changed, she became like Han Yu when she lied, her expression didn't change and her heart beat, "You forgot that we made a bet with Wang Yize before that if you don't take the top ten in the class at the end of the semester, you have to—"

"That's my bet. I'll just study hard. Why are you bothering?" Han Yu asked back.

Tang Xia muttered guiltily, "Then I have to study hard too..."

"In that case, let's go to the library next week," the young man thought for a while, and said, "There is less than a month left until the end of the semester, what do you think?"

The girl's eyes widened in shock.

Yes, she knew that Han Yu had been studying very hard recently, and she also knew that not only did he work hard, but his grades were also proportional to his hard work, so that he improved by leaps and bounds, but there is no need to be so inspirational, right?

Tang Xia was about to start wondering if the boy had recently been bewitched...

"Scared? Backed down?"

Han Yu's provocative method was very effective, and Tang Xia's whole body was aroused.

"How is it possible?" She snorted coldly, "Just make a fool of yourself, Wang Yize made a bet with you, then I will make a bet with you too."

People seem to be like this. Once you have a goal and the motivation to work hard for it, you will become extraordinarily high-spirited.

"bet?"

Han Yu shrugged and did not object.

He is really confident in his learning status now...

Tang Xia hated her teeth so much that she had an inexplicable sense of "betrayed" that "we promised to be a scumbag together, but you secretly became a schoolmaster".

"Where's the bet?" Han Yu asked again, raising his eyebrows arrogantly.

For a moment, Tang Xia suddenly thought of the dream of that night.

"Go to the north to see the snow." She murmured.

Han Yu was taken aback, "Look at the snow?"

Tang Xia raised a smile, bright and bright, "Yes, if you do well in the exam, take me to the north to see the snow."

The boy didn't know why the girl was obsessed with the snowy scenery in the north, and asked with a smile, "Then what if I don't do well in the exam?"

"Then I'll take you to the north to see the snow." Tang Xia replied quickly.

It's a good bet indeed...

Han Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refute her interest, he just nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

He silently wrote down the agreement related to winter.

"It's a deal," Tang Xia smiled, took two steps back and waved at Han Yu, "Then I'm leaving first? You should go back to school."

"En." The young man also waved his hand, narrowing his eyes against the bright sun, with an intoxicating tenderness at the end of his eyes.

The girl's back gradually disappeared from sight, Han Yu turned around, walked back slowly with his head down. As he walked, he counted on his fingers, calculating the approximate number of days between today and winter.

Snow in the north...

It must be beautiful, right?

Much more beautiful than the city's sparse blizzard.

And she will be beautiful in the snow scene.

Han Yu curled the corners of his lips, letting out a hint of expectation.

For the first time, he looked forward to a season so much.
