It was Christmas Eve today. Chu Liyuan had been working overtime yesterday and did not go home. Hence, Jian Dan went to his office in the afternoon to give him the Peace Apple? that she had prepared.
When she reached the 33rd floor, she saw Li Jingâ¦
âWhy are you here? Missing Mr. Chu?â
âIs he busy?â
âThatâs right. Weâre extremely busy in the last few days of the year annually. Not only do we have to do a summation of this yearâs business, but we also have to do some planning for next year!â
It seemed that Uncle was really busy! If she disturbed him at work now, would it make her seem very insensible?
No, she must not let others think that she was young and insensible!
Jian Dan hid the Peace Apple she was holding behind her. âItâs Christmas tomorrow. I was afraid that Uncle would want me to go on a date with him, so 1 wanted to let him know that Yujinâs schedule is jam-packed tomorrow. 1 canât spend time with him. Itâs fine now! Since he is also busy, it is just as well!â
Jian Dan smiled as she lied.
âI wonât go in if Uncle is busy. Donât tell Uncle that I was here, lest he gets distracted!â
Jian Dan turned around and left the 33rd floor.
After Jian Dan left, she returned to campusâ¦
It was Christmas Eve, so there was no one on campus. Jian Dan went to the rooftop of the classroom alone!
This was Jian Danâs secret base; she often daydreamed here alone.
She had thought that she could have a big meal with Uncle, so she had not eaten since noon. Now, her stomach was growling.
She looked at the apple in her hand and was about to bite itâ¦
âLittle Jian Dan!â
Jian Dan turned around and saw Ling Xiaoyang standing behind her.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âWhy? Canât I come if you can?â
Ling Xiaoyang had seen Jian Dan the moment she walked in through the campus gates. He watched as Jian Dan went to the rooftop alone with a lonely expression on her faceâ¦
Judging from her expression, he knew that Chu Liyuan did not have time for her.
âThereâs no turkey. How about fried chicken?â
Ling Xiaoyang shook the bucket in his hands.
Fried chicken? jian Dan immediately rushed up to Ling Xiaoyangâ¦
âWow! It smells so good!â
The fragrance of fried chicken had already filled Jian Danâs nostrils.
âCome on!â
Ling Xiaoyang put the fried chicken on the table and lifted the lid. The rich fragrance immediately filled the air.
Jian Dan could not take it anymore. She grabbed a piece and chomped down on it. âIâm so happy!â
Ling Xiaoyang watched as Jian Dan ate the fried chicken without a care for her image. The corners of her mouth were covered in oil. If it was in the past, he would definitely think that this girl was very sloppy. However, not only did he not feel this way now, he even felt that she was extremely cute.
I must be out of my mind.
What spell did this woman cast on me?
Jian Dan saw that Ling Xiaoyang was staring at her. She casually grabbed a piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into his hand. âEat your fried chicken. Donât keep looking at me.â
This guy must think that I have awful table manners.
Hmph! So what if its awful? As long as Uncle doesnât mind.
âNo. Shouldnât 1 feel guilty eating fried chicken in the middle of the night? How many kilograms am I going to pile on?â
âWhat are you afraid of? Youâre not fat!â
âReally?â
âYes, yes, yes!â
âEveryone else is persuading me to drink, but youâre persuading me to eat. However, seeing that youâre so enthusiastic, I canât let you down!â
He grabbed another piece and ate it.
After eating, the two of them cleaned up the âbattlefieldââ¦
âAlright, itâs already very late today. Iâm going back to the dormitory! You should go back too!â
Chu Liyuan was not at home, so she could not sleep even if she went back. She might as well go back to the dormitory!
âHang on! This is for you! Christmas gift!â
Ling Xiaoyang handed Jian Dan a pink box.
Jian Dan accepted it with a smile. When she opened it, she saw an
apple-shaped hair clip inside⦠âWhat a beautiful hair clip!â
Jian Dan finally understood why this guy was so popular with girls. Other than his handsome face, he knew what girls like.
âI bought it casually!â
In fact, this hair clip was handmade by Ling Xiaoyang for Jian Dan. But of course, he could not tell her.
âThanks!â
Jian Dan clipped her hair with the hair clipâ¦
Seeing that Jian Dan liked the hair clip he made for her, Xiaoyang was overjoyed.
He only left reluctantly when Jian Danâs departing figure disappeared from his sight.
