God's Gift

Lu Keming and Yu Youyou were confronting each other, and the air was filled with tension.

But Lu Keming had no intention of giving in.

Yu Youyou summoned all her might and snorted angrily, "You're so annoying! I don't want to be friends with you today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow!"

Lu Keming's expression remained unchanged, and he was not shaken at all by Yu Youyou's words.

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming's expression, pursed her lips, turned around with her half-empty bag, and stopped talking to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou's back, then looked away nonchalantly.

Who is friends with Yu Youyou.

Anthony glanced at Lu Keming's tightly pursed lips, swallowed, and dared not make a sound, for fear of making Lu Keming even angrier.

Shen Minghua and Ye Li witnessed the whole process and sighed at the same time.

But Yu Youyou’s things were indeed inedible, and they had no other choice.

"I saw the calendar in the castle today, and the date on it was Christmas. Maybe the day when Andy had the accident was a lively day." Shen Minghua took the initiative to speak, breaking the dull atmosphere.

"That was a festival that happened four thousand years ago. I never thought that one day we would be able to experience this festival."

Hearing Shen Minghua's words, Yu Youyou's attention was instantly diverted. She moved closer to Shen Minghua and looked at him curiously.

"Christmas?"

"Does Yu Youyou know too?" Shen Minghua asked her with a smile when he saw that Yu Youyou had forgotten what happened before.

"Yeah." Yu Youyou nodded, "My mom said Santa Claus will come to give presents that day!"

She had seen ships on the sea at night, brightly lit with green trees on them, and the people on the ships would wear beautiful clothes and cheer and dance on that day.

Her mother told her that it was a holiday celebrated by people on both sides of the Atlantic.

The bonfire in front of them made a crackling sound. Shen Minghua smiled and asked Yu Youyou, "So, Youyou, is there any gift you want from Santa Claus?"

"Hmm..." Yu Youyou held her chin and thought for a long time.

She looked serious, as if she had forgotten all the unhappiness she had just felt.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, then turned his gaze to the campfire.

The people around him also started discussing Shen Minghua's topic, and the atmosphere became warm.

Only Lu Keming sat there quietly, the flickering orange-yellow flames reflected in his eyes, making him look inexplicably lonely.

But he has been like this for so many years, isolated from everyone's joys and sorrows, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

“I want…” Yu Youyou tilted her head.

Lu Keming paused as he was holding the branches to make a bonfire.

When Shen Minghua and Ye Li thought Yu Youyou was going to talk about some food, Yu Youyou said a name.

"I want Bu Bu!"

Shen Minghua was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What is Bu Bu?"

"Bubu is a unique little bear in the world and my best friend!" Yu Youyou shook her head and told Shen Minghua with a smile.

"Little bear?" Shen Minghua was a little surprised. This wish was really strange. Why would he want a bear?

Fang Ziang laughed when he heard Yu Youyou's words, "How can a bear be unique? There are so many bears in the world."

"But Bubu looks different from other bears. It's very small and can't talk or move," Yu Youyou said with her round eyes. "My mother said it's the only bear in the world."

Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou's happy expression, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Is your little bear made of cloth?"

Yu Youyou looked at Ye Li in surprise, "How did Ah Li know?"

Ye Li nodded and understood what Yu Youyou said.

A stuffed bear.

Shen Minghua laughed and said, "Then I will give a Bubu to Youyou in the future."

Yu Youyou shook her head seriously, "But there is only one Bubu, there will never be a second Bubu in the world."

Shen Minghua looked at Yu Youyou's serious expression and smiled gently.

Lu Keming's eyes swept over Yu Youyou, and he was casually stirring the bonfire with a branch.

As they were talking, the huge figure of the Wendigo appeared in the swamp again.

Lu Keming looked at the dark shadow in the swamp, stood up, and pulled Yu Youyou behind him.

Yu Youyou stood behind Lu Keming, looking in the direction of the Wendigo with her round eyes.

But Lu Keming's figure blocked Yu Youyou. She snorted softly and pushed Lu Keming away.

"Why isn't the ground shaking today?" Shen Minghua frowned. When the Wendigo appeared yesterday, the ground clearly made a big noise. Why did it appear so silently today?

"Because it didn't go back underground to sleep today." Yu Youyou suddenly said as she watched the Wendigo walk to the front of the castle.

"Hmm?" Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou strangely, "How did you know?"

Yu Youyou tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and said crisply, "It would only vibrate so much if it came out from underground. If there is no vibration, it means it didn't come out from underground."

"That's right." Shen Minghua nodded and pressed his brows in confusion, "But why didn't it go back to sleep underground?"

Yu Youyou turned her gaze away without changing her expression and looked elsewhere.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou and narrowed his eyes.

In front of the castle, Wendigo knocked on the door and returned to the swamp again.

Then everyone lit the bonfire again.

Lu Keming sat down again. Yu Youyou squatted on the side and fiddled with it for a long time. Looking at Lu Keming who was silent by the campfire, she squatted on the ground and moved over in small steps.

Lu Keming's peripheral vision caught sight of a figure, his gaze paused for a second, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Humph."

Yu Youyou squatted beside Lu Keming and hummed in his ear.

Lu Keming lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Hmph." Yu Youyou snorted again.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou, who turned her head and faced Lu Keming with the back of her head. "Hmph."

Lu Keming's mouth curled up in an arc that he didn't even notice, and he looked at the campfire, "Didn't you say you don't want to be friends with me anymore?"

"Can't we talk if we're not friends?" Yu Youyou still turned her back to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming smiled faintly and said nothing.

After a few seconds, his expression froze as he realized what he was doing.

The arc disappeared abruptly, his hands suddenly clenched, and his eyes became cold again.

Lu Keming fell silent again.

Yu Youyou turned her head curiously and glanced at Lu Keming. Seeing the blue under his eyes, she suddenly remembered that humans need to sleep.

The fire of the bonfire became much smaller, and the students around it became drowsy and kept dozing off.

She poked Lu Keming's arm.

Lu Keming's body stiffened for a moment and he looked at Yu Youyou with a cold face.

"Lu Keming, you go to sleep. I'll watch over you." Yu Youyou leaned close to Lu Keming's ear and whispered to him.

Lu Keming was stunned for a second.

Yu Youyou blinked twice and said, "I've slept for the whole afternoon and now I'm not sleepy at all."

Lu Keming was silent for a long time, finally nodded, walked to the tree and sat down.

"See you tomorrow, Lu Keming." There were twinkling lights in Yu Youyou's eyes.

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou and closed his eyes.

Gradually, Yu Youyou was the only one still awake by the campfire.

The forest behind, which had never been explored, was still dark and chilly. Yu Youyou squatted beside the campfire and yawned.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, carrying the sparks from the campfire towards the forest.

Yu Youyou suddenly turned her head, her pair of dark eyes staring motionlessly into the depths of the forest.

After a few seconds, she stood up and walked towards the forest.
