The weather was getting colder and colder. It was dark when Tong Yusui set out in the morning. She usually chose to take a car in the morning, and today was no exception. Thinking of the draft she had written yesterday, she clenched her hands and was extremely nervous.

He came late today, arriving just as the bell rang, so Tong Yusui had to wait for the get out of class to end. The first class today was English, and the teacher continued to talk about the following content. English is generally good in big cities, and here everyone needs to use English in English class. Speaking is Tong Yusui's Achilles' heel. Sometimes when the teacher speaks too fast, she can't understand much.

"I'll ask someone to read today's lesson first." The English teacher began to ask questions. She looked down and quickly called on a student.

Soon, the text was read through, "OK, first paragraph translation."

...

The class pace was very fast, and Tong Yusui was so focused on keeping up with her studies that she even forgot what she wanted to say when the get out of class was over.

She didn't remember it until the second class.

She glanced at Xia Zhuomian secretly. He had already prepared the books for the second class and was reading them.

Tong Yusui pursed her lips and thought for a while, then picked up the paper and wrote a few words, then tore off the page and handed it over quietly.

"I have something to tell you. Wait for me after the second period."

It was the first time that Xia Zhuomian received a small note in class. He looked at the contents of the note, suppressed the corners of his lips that were raised, and his face was calm. He did not reply to the note, but looked up at the teacher's lecture with a focused look.

Finally, the get out of class is over.

Tong Yusui quickly packed up his things, while Xia Zhuomian took his time packing up his homework.

"Hey, Mo Ji, what are you doing? Let's go." Lu Feifan in front started to urge, and after saying that, he grabbed Xia Zhuomian's hand and wanted to leave.

"Wait, I have something to say to him." Tong Yusui grabbed Xia Zhuomian's arm and looked at Lu Feifan coldly.

Lu Feifan snorted and looked at Xia Zhuomian, "You talked to her again?"

Xia Zhuomian looked at the two of them and gave Lu Feifan a push, "You go down first!"

This is what it means to make a good choice. Lu Feifan was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but in the end he made a very loud "tsk" sound, fearing that the two of them couldn't hear him, and then left angrily.

The two of them walked down slowly and came to the bench where they had relaxed before. They stopped and Xia Zhuomian turned his back to her and looked at the leaves on the tree. He was still angry.

Tong Yusui squeezed her hands hard, as if she had made a great decision, "Yes... yes, I'm sorry."

She rarely apologized properly, as if in her past life, apology was a particularly difficult word to say. She opened and closed her mouth and finally said these three words.

It doesn't seem that difficult to speak.

She looked up at Xia Zhuomian's back. The boy was bathed in the sun, with soft, fluffy hair. He was tall, standing there like a young poplar, straight and clean. But this boy belongs to me. Tong Yusui reflected seriously, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such harsh words a few days ago. It's all my fault."

Xia Zhuomian finally turned his head. He looked at Tong Yusui, his eyes slightly moist. Even so, he didn't want to show his weakness and raised his head proudly. "Didn't you say I was stupid? I put pressure on you, right? It's all my fault. Then just ignore me. I don't need you anyway."

"That was just a rant, not my true feelings. Ever since you ignored me these past few days, I feel like my life has become boring. I'm so stupid, and I can't live without you."

She explained anxiously, and Tong's face suddenly turned red after she finished speaking. She was so focused on explaining just now that she never thought she would say such corny words.

Xia Zhuomian's face also turned red. He turned around quickly, but the corners of his mouth rose wildly, "Did you do something wrong? If there is anything, just tell me and we can solve it together. You are not the one who is like that." As he spoke, he could no longer maintain his cold voice.

However, Tong Yusui, who had no mind to pay attention to such details, nodded repeatedly when he heard his words, "Yes, I know I was wrong, really. I promise I will never say those words again. If I say them again, you, you hit me or scold me, I will never fight back."

Xia Zhuomian smiled when he heard her promise, turned his head to look at her, and said in a dissatisfied voice, "I can't beat you or scold you, so how can this be a punishment?"

"Then whatever punishment you choose is fine."

Seeing her sincere face, Xia Zhuomian nodded. It was a good attitude to admit one's mistakes. "If you do it again, I won't wait for you."

Tong Yusui's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded with great respect, "Okay."

Yesterday she had already made a choice between him and Aunt Guan. Since he had approached her, she would not push him away again, even if her future was uncertain, even if others opposed her, even if he was the one who rejected her...

You shouldn't let go of it, it's your light!

"Let's go, let's do some aerobics."

As they walked, Xia Zhuomian thought of another thing, "My mom asked you to go home for dinner."

"Me, me?" Tong Yusui turned a deaf ear to Aunt Guan's words. She was feeling guilty at the moment, and when she heard him say that, she didn't know what to say.

"Well, what? You don't want to?" Xia Zhuomian glared at her.

"No, I do." Tong Yusui nodded with a wry smile.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and they are going to have dinner at Xia Zhuomian's house. The night before, Tong Yusui became anxious and ran to Li Hongran's room to ask her for advice, which made Li Hongran scold her, "I'm still single, and you're asking me for advice? Are you trying to show off?"

"No, no, I'm really worried." Tong Yusui said with a bitter face, "Besides, we just talked about some unpleasant topics a while ago. Now we are going to meet. If Aunt Guan knew that we had reconciled..."

"Get out." Li Hongran used her good arm to push Tong Yusui off the bed.

"Just get out." Tong Yusui didn't know what had offended her, and she went out muttering to herself. She got up early the next morning and picked out a set of clean and refreshing clothes. It's not that she didn't want to dress more appropriately, but they were all high school students, and dressing too formally would be a bit inappropriate for their age.

She had no experience of visiting other people's homes, so she just knew to bring more gifts.

When Xia Zhuomian came to pick her up, she saw a pile of gifts on the ground and her eyes widened. "Why did you buy so many?"

"Well, I was just browsing the supermarket and saw these things were all pretty good, so I bought a box of them."

"You're so polite. Mom didn't mean anything special. She just thought you wouldn't be able to have a good meal on your own during the holidays, so she asked me to invite you to her house for a simple meal."

"Yeah, okay, I understand." Tong Yusui responded and looked at the things on the ground. She forgot to buy a gift for Xia Zhuomian's father and didn't know what he liked.

In the end, the two of them ran back and forth twice before they moved all the things up.

This was the first time Tong Yusui went to his house. It was a very ordinary house with three bedrooms and a living room. It must be quite old. The decoration inside was a little old, and there were some old-fashioned embossed stained glass. The house was cleaned very cleanly and looked very warm.

Is this where Xia Zhuomian has lived since childhood?
