After rebirth, I want to pamper this cold and cold man like you alone.

But seeing the big box next to him, An Qi was curious: "What is this?"

"A holiday gift for you."

An Qi stepped forward and curiously squatted down to open it with Ling Xiaochen. Inside lay a beautifully crafted lotus lantern!

"Wow! So beautiful!"

An Qi picked up the glass handle in a novel way. The pink and white lotus rotated gently with the breeze, and the emerald green leaves were lifelike. The flowers and leaves were both made of glass. There was a red tassel hanging from the leaves, with a piece wrapped around the middle. Glass, it says: I hope everything goes well for you.

She stared at the lotus lantern intently, her eyes full of love for it: "Thank you, Xiaochen, it's so exquisite! I like it so much! This year it's finally no longer a lantern carrying little animals! Haha!"

Ling Xiaochen was satisfied. He had asked his grandmother to find a craftsman in the provincial capital to make this earlier. After he finished it, he didn't dare to waste a moment and found someone to bring it back to the city. He finally made it in time to give it to her today.

But Ling Xiaochen didn't plan to tell An Qi this, as long as she liked it.

He glanced outside the family hospital, turned around and touched Angel's plush natural curly hair, and whispered: "Time is a bit tight, we will contact you by phone in the evening. You have a good time today, but you must pay attention to safety. There are many people on holidays. Watch out for fireworks."

An Qi nodded obediently.

Indeed, accidents always happen on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. Either the fireworks fall and ignite someone's hair or clothes, or there are too many people at night and a stampede occurs, or a child gets separated from an adult...

But even so, this day every year is still very lively and crowded.

Ling Xiaochen checked the time, gave a few more instructions, and then left.

An Qi stood in the courtyard and watched Ling Xiaochen leave. She didn't turn around to go home until she disappeared at the door.

Wang Jue and An Rong were just resting today. Seeing their daughter carefully carrying back such a big box, they all gathered around to check it out curiously.

"Yo? Where did you get the lamp? It's so beautiful! The craftsmanship is really good. Look how delicate it is!"

Wang Jue picked up the lantern and looked at it carefully, praising it from the bottom of his heart.

An Rong nodded: "Indeed! There were many lanterns on the streets in previous years, but compared with this craft, the gap is still quite big."

"Really? This was just delivered by Ling Xiaochen." An Qi touched the lamp happily and couldn't put it down.

The couple looked at each other, and there was no surprise in each other's eyes, they both had expressions that were as expected.

Wang Jue raised his index finger and tapped An Qi's little head to remind: "You should also serve some snacks. I always see Ling Xiaochen coming to give you this and that in the early morning. Have you given anything back to others? You must know how to repay, don't always It’s a natural acceptance, you know?”

"I know, Mom!" An Qi stuck out her tongue at Wang Jue.

Wang Jue shook his head helplessly and said that, it is up to you whether you listen or not!

An Qi touched the lantern and looked careless, but she did listen to Wang Jue's words.

She has been busy during this period. Because of her working relationship with the Ling family, she has accepted Ling Xiaochen's gifts and care as a matter of course, but she never thought of giving anything back to him.

She had to take advantage of the two days before school started to think about it carefully!

In the next few days, she never left the house. Every time Wang Jue came back, he would see her sitting in front of the computer, studying something seriously. But when he got closer, some data analysis was displayed on the screen.

Wang Jue had a gut feeling that this girl was hiding something from her, but since there was no evidence, she didn't ask.

While An Qi was sleeping at home, Ling Xiaochen was also busy. She didn't know what he was busy with, but based on her understanding of him, if this matter could be discussed, he would definitely explain it and explain why he couldn't see her these days. reason.

The two of them just talk on the phone before going to bed every day to say good night to each other, and they go about their own business during the day.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time to start school.

Everything turned out as Ling Xiaochen expected.

On the first day of school, everyone was sitting in the class wearing new clothes for the New Year and chatting enthusiastically. After not seeing each other for a long time, the students were happily sharing interesting things about the holidays.

Only Chen Rui was uncharacteristically late and arrived very late. After sitting down, he also had a stern look on his face and refused to talk to anyone else.

Several male classmates came over to talk to him, but he showed a lack of interest.

An Qi had an unpleasant encounter with Chen Rui and Zheng Xiaoqin when they were at Ling's house. She lowered her head and read a book, completely ignoring what was going on outside the window.

After Chen Rui sat down, he glanced at the backs of Ling Xiaochen and An Qi, and looked away bitterly!

Even He Chao felt something strange about the three of them, secretly approached An Qi and asked, "What happened to you three?"

"No." An Qi turned over the new book, very calmly.

"Why do I feel that you two are so weird? Especially the way Chen Rui looks at you two looks like he has deep hatred!"

He Chao covered his face mysteriously and reported to An Qi the perspective he saw.

An Qi paused and shook her head speechlessly: "Whatever! I don't care!"

After that, I continued to quickly browse the new books in various subjects to see if there were any revisions from the previous year.

The class was noisy. Some people whispered something and glanced at Chen Rui from time to time. The atmosphere in the class was a little weird for a while.

Chen Rui was sitting there with a sullen face, ignoring everyone!

But this state did not last long, only a loud noise was heard!

"Bang bang!"

Angie was taken aback!

She and everyone else turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Rui.

what happened again? An Qi felt disgusted.

Can't you live a peaceful life day by day and not act like a monster? I always have to make some noise to attract others' attention. I really admire it!

This kind of person is too self-centered!

Before An Qi turned around with a frown and continued reading, she heard Chen Rui's suppressed voice: "What? Are there flowers on my face?! What are you looking at me for? I advise you not to talk about me behind my back, otherwise I won’t be polite!”

As soon as Chen Rui finished his sentence, he turned around and glanced around the back of the class in a threatening manner.

The class was silent for a few seconds!

An Qi could hear the classmates in front of her swallowing their saliva!

Did something just happen? Didn't she notice?

At this time, a disdainful female voice came from the class: "Why are you so arrogant! Don't think that you are great just because you study well! There are so many good students but few like you. Who did this to you? You are here Who are you warning? He just knows how to behave in his own class!"

"..."

"that is!"

"Xi Peipei has been hospitalized, and she is still sitting there like nothing happened. How can she have such a face?"

"What did you say?!" Chen Rui stood up and glared angrily at the person who just spoke!

The person who said this was a little boy, wearing thick-rimmed glasses, with average academic performance, but he was very hardworking. He was sitting in the corner against the wall and could easily be ignored.
