Can you please stop hating

Ke Lin was a little surprised that Jin Zhuoxiao was interested in his pendant, but he didn't say much and replied, "Okay."

He took off the pendant, handed it to Jin Zhuoxiao, and said proudly: "Don't underestimate its small size. It is still very troublesome to make. Momo spent a long time on it."

Jin Zhuoxiao said nothing, but lowered his eyes to stare at the pendant in his hand.

This jellyfish was smaller than his, and although the posture of the jellyfish's tentacles was very different, they looked inexplicably similar.

Seeing that Jin Zhuoxiao had been staring at it, Ke Lin thought that he liked it, so he said, "There is a lamp and glass studio not far from the school. Brother Xiao, if you like it, you can find time to make one yourself. You can make whatever you want."

Jin Zhuoxiao looked up at Ke Lin and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Can I buy the finished product of this thing?"

Ke Lin: "Yes, but the finished products are mostly template-like, and they are not as good as the ones I made myself."

"..."

Jin Zhuoxiao was silent for a while, returned the pendant to Ke Lin, stood up and said, "I'm leaving first."

Ke Lin took it blankly: "Okay."

After leaving Rose Castle, Jin Zhuoxiao took a taxi directly back to Yuehu Mansion. He had a hidden expectation in his heart, which grew heavier along the way.

After returning home, Jin Zhuoxiao ran directly to the bedroom on the second floor, opened the drawer, took out the jellyfish pendant, took a photo, and sent it to Ke Lin.

Jin Zhuoxiao: [Is this the finished template? ]

A few seconds after the message was sent, the words "the other party is typing" appeared on the chat interface.

Jin Zhuoxiao's heartbeat inexplicably quickened. He gripped his phone tightly nervously and held his breath unconsciously.

Ke Lin: [Brother Xiao, this is what Yu Xi made, right? ]

When Jin Zhuoxiao saw the message, his tense body relaxed and he suddenly smiled.

He asked: [How do you know that Yu Xi did it? ]

Ke Lin: [When she went to the studio to do it, Momo and I were there too. The one hanging around my neck was made by Momo imitating hers.]

After the message was sent, Ke Lin quickly sent a photo of the jellyfish pendant.

Ke Lin: [Look, this is the photo I took in the studio when Yu Xi was just finished. Isn’t it exactly the same? ]

Jin Zhuoxiao enlarged the photo and compared it carefully with the jellyfish in his hand. Except for the broken tentacle, everything else was exactly the same.

Ke Lin: [I saw Yu Xi was working so hard on it, I thought she was using it for herself, but I didn’t expect she was giving it to you.]

Jin Zhuoxiao's mood now is like that he has solved a complicated math problem. When he checked the answer, he found that he was correct, feeling excited and happy.

Ke Lin: [But, is this broken? ]

This sentence brought Jin Zhuoxiao back to reality. He suppressed his smile and replied: [Yeah.]

Ke Lin: [It’s quite a pity.]

Jin Zhuoxiao lowered his eyes and stroked the broken end of the jellyfish tentacle, regretting more and more that he had not kept it.

He raised his eyes to look at the Papua jellyfish swimming in the jellyfish tank nearby, and thought of the night when he took Yu Xi to see the jellyfish, and the song Yu Xi sang for him on his birthday, and his heart was burning.

The jellyfish pendant was a birthday gift customized by Yu Xi for him alone. Yu Xi would also sing his cell phone ringtone for him. Yu Xi cared about him.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhuoxiao instantly let go of the anger that he had been holding in for so long. He knew that it was impossible for Yu Xi to not care about him at all.

The bedroom was too quiet, but Jin Zhuoxiao couldn't calm down at all. He checked the time, picked up the jellyfish pendant and went out.

When Jin Zhuoxiao returned to Rose Castle, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Half of the people in the hall had left, and the remaining half were still laughing.

He searched every floor but didn't see Yu Xi. Even Xue Haoyan was not there. He thought they must have left.

Jin Zhuoxiao sat down on the sofa in the corner with some frustration, looking down at the pendant in his hand in a daze.

After a moment, he took out his cell phone and after hesitating, he tried to call Yu Xi.

"Beep...beep...Hello, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment."

The words of the mechanical female voice reached Jin Zhuoxiao's ears clearly.

Sure enough, I was blocked.

Jin Zhuoxiao hung up the call, looked at the black screen and sighed.

He was in a daze for a while, then felt that the hall was too noisy, so he got up and went to the backyard.

As we walked away, the noise of the crowd gradually became dim. Compared with the front hall, the backyard was empty and quiet, and even my restless heart seemed to be relaxed a lot.

Jin Zhuoxiao walked to the tree and looked up at the huge Christmas tree in front of him. The trunk was hung with small lights and various Christmas ornaments. The warm light from the stars made the backyard look very dreamy.

This was his third year spending Christmas here since college, but it was the first time he wished there was someone around.

Just as I was lost in thought, light snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Snowflakes fell on his face, and the icy Jin Zhuoxiao came back to his senses. He looked up at the night sky, only to find that the snow was falling heavily.

The Christmas tree is incredibly beautiful in the falling snow.

Jin Zhuoxiao suddenly missed Yu Xi very much, and wished she could see it too.

Perhaps the snow attracted the attention of other people in the hall, and they all ran to the balcony and windows to watch.

As soon as the window opened, the sound of music slowly echoed in the backyard, giving me a clear feeling of breaking the dream and returning to reality.

At midnight, everyone made a wish.

"Deng Jiawen, be happy every day!"

“I must be single this year!”

"Get beautiful! Get rich! Hug a handsome guy!"

"..."

Many voices came one after another, and Jin Zhuoxiao stood silently in the snow.

He closed his snow-covered eyes, lowered his head to kiss the pendant in his hand, and made a wish in his heart that only he knew.

Due to the festival, there were many activities at Huada University tonight. When Yu Xi returned to school, there were still many people on the main road.

People singing, dancing and setting up stalls gathered together, making it very lively.

However, Yu Xi was in no mood to participate. She went straight back to the dormitory with the gift bag.

Qiao Yining was also a lonely person. When Yu Xi came back, she was sitting in a chair with her knees hugged, watching short videos on her tablet.

Hearing the door open, Qiao Yining turned around and asked, "Did you get the gift back?"

"Yeah." Yu Xi said as she took off her coat and hung it up, then walked to her seat and sat down.

She slowed down and began to open the present. The box was divided by cake paper trays and contained eight different colors and patterns of cookies.

Christmas trees, gift boxes, gingerbread men, elk, etc., each shape is very cute and no worse than those sold in stores outside.

Yu Xi took a photo and sent it to Xue Mengmeng, typing: [I received the gift, so cute, thank you Mengmeng. ]

Meng Meng: [Hey, you’re welcome. ]

Meng Meng: [Auntie also taught me how to make a small cake. I put it in the refrigerator and you can eat it when you come to class tomorrow.]

Yu Xi: [Okay, go to bed early tonight, see you tomorrow. ]

Meng Meng: [Yeah! ]

After replying the message, Yu Xi gave a few cookies to Qiao Yining.

Qiao Yining smiled: "What cute cookies."

"It's very cute," Yu Xi said after taking a bite, "It tastes good too."

Qiao Yining: “Yeah.”

It was too late and Yu Xi couldn’t eat too much, so she put the rest in a box. It was cold now and it wouldn’t go bad in two days.

After washing up, Yu Xi went to bed. She had originally planned to go to bed early, after all, she had to teach Xue Mengmeng tomorrow.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the festival, everyone in the dormitory seems very excited. You can still hear howling at twelve o’clock, which makes Yu Xi not feel sleepy at all.

She stared at the ceiling in a trance, but her mind unconsciously recalled the scenes of Jin Zhuoxiao and Lan Ying. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, which she couldn't digest and had nowhere to vent, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Yu Xi, look, it's snowing outside again." Qiao Yining spoke without warning.

Yu Xi came back to her senses after hearing that, raised her head and looked out the window, and sure enough, she saw dense snowflakes floating outside.

But she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She even felt that the snow was as dull as rain, making her want to hide in bed.

About ten minutes later, Qiao Yining asked in a low voice: "Yu Xi, are you asleep?"

Yu Xi popped her head out from under the quilt and said, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

Qiao Yining: "I think I saw Jin Zhuoxiao's video."

Yu Xi didn't understand: "What video?"

Qiao Yining: "I'll send it to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xi's phone rang.

With doubts, Yu Xi opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a video on a short video platform.

The sky was full of white snow, and Jin Zhuoxiao, dressed in black, stood tall in it, looking very sharp.

Snow fell on his body, and he looked up at the flourishing and brilliant Christmas tree in front of him. The two were both integrated and different, and the contrast between the two produced a particularly stunning visual effect.

The video was obviously shot from a distance, and it is slightly blurry after being zoomed in. You can tell at a glance that it was not a premeditated shot.

However, it is precisely this coincidence, coupled with the fatalistic music added by the blogger, that makes this video of only a dozen seconds long particularly catchy.

Yu Xi looked at it twice before coming back to her senses. She guessed that this was probably the Christmas tree that she had not seen tonight. A huge sense of loss surged over her, almost drowning her.

Her eyes were filled with tears and her sadness reached its peak. She thought sadly that life is full of regrets and what you cannot get will always be missed in various ways.
