Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely
Chapter 16 Modern Campus 14
When they arrived at their door, Yu Nuan was about to open her own door when Gu Qing said, "Nuan Nuan, come to my house first. My brother and his family went to Tibet for the holidays and brought back some local specialties. Come to my house and pick some out to see if there's anything you like."
"Forget it!" Yu Nuan felt embarrassed to take it since it wasn't Gu Qing's own.
"It's okay, my brother and his family bought a lot. I was planning to get some for you and Xixi this morning, but I was in too much of a rush and didn't get any."
"You all prepared gifts, but I didn't." Yu Nuan was really embarrassed.
"It's alright, this was brought by my brother. I'm just passing it on," Gu Qing comforted Yu Nuan.
But Yu Nuan thought to herself, Christmas is coming soon, and I must prepare a good gift for it.
The local specialties that Gu Chen brought back were mostly local foods and unique Tibetan trinkets. Yu Nuan chose the trinkets she liked, but her favorite was the beef jerky that Gu Chen brought. Yu Nuan truly lived up to her reputation as a foodie.
After Yu Nuan received the items, she was about to leave when Gu Chen suddenly stopped her. "Yu Nuan, this is something I obtained from a local temple. According to local tradition, it symbolizes blessings for peace and health. I obtained two of them; one for you and one for Qiao Qiao. This one is for you."
Gu Chen handed Yu Nuan a bracelet that resembled Buddhist prayer beads, but upon closer inspection, it was somewhat different.
Yu Nuan quickly waved her hand in refusal, "This is too precious, I..."
"Take it." Gu Chen placed the bracelet into Yu Nuan's hand without allowing any refusal. "Thank you for taking care of Qiao Qiao."
Yu Nuan felt unworthy of such treatment, as Gu Qing tended to take care of her more between them.
"Nuan Nuan, just take it!" Gu Qing also let Yu Nuan take it. But he couldn't help but complain, "Why is it that today Nuan Nuan is giving you bracelets that she wears on her wrist? This is much uglier than the bracelet she's wearing."
Gu Chen also noticed that Yu Nuan had a new bracelet on her wrist, but didn't think much of it, assuming she had bought it herself. Hearing that it was a gift, Gu Chen's heart tightened, and he asked, "Who gave it to her?"
Gu Chen himself didn't realize how nervous his voice sounded.
Gu Qing was busy packing gifts for Su Xi to bring tomorrow and didn't notice her brother's strange behavior. Without looking up, she said, "Xi Xi, she came back from America and brought a bracelet for me and Nuan Nuan." Gu Qing waved her hand to show Gu Chen her bracelet.
When Gu Chen heard that it was Su Xi, he relaxed and said to Yu Nuan, "I didn't know what kind of girl you liked, so I just picked one randomly."
Yu Nuan was somewhat puzzled by the change in Gu Chen's expression, but she still said, "No, I like it very much. Thank you for the gift." Yu Nuan didn't mince words; she genuinely liked the bracelet.
After Yu Nuan left, Gu Qing looked at her brother's happy face and felt more and more uneasy. Why did her brother only bring a gift for Yu Nuan? She had so many good friends.
Gu Chen felt a little uneasy under his sister's gaze and couldn't help but say, "Why are you staring like that?"
"Brother, tell me the truth, why did you think of bringing Nuannuan a gift?"
"I bought this because Yu Nuan took you to the hospital in time last time, and I never had a chance to thank her. I just happened to run into her this time." Gu Chen said sincerely.
"Is it really just because of this?"
"Yeah, what else could it be?"
Gu Qing was skeptical, mainly because in her previous life, her brother had remained single until after her death, never having met a girl he liked. So Gu Qing believed her brother's story.
The next day, Gu Chen was very happy to see Yu Nuan wearing the bracelet he had given her.
Time flies, and the end of the year is fast approaching, bringing with it various festivals, both traditional Chinese and Western. People always use the festivals as an excuse to eat, drink, and have fun.
Today is Christmas Eve. When Yu Nuan arrived at school, her desk was covered with apples. She looked around and saw that Gu Qing's desk was also covered with apples. Su Xi, on the other hand, usually had a cold expression, so most people didn't dare to approach her.
Li Jia teased, "Yu Nuan, you and Gu Qing are so popular! Many students from other classes came to secretly give you apples early this morning."
Yu Nuan felt no joy, only worry about what to do with the apples and how to return them, since she didn't know who had given them to her.
"Qiaoqiao, what should we do with this apple?"
Gu Qing was also worried. "Why don't we share it with the classmates? It's better than wasting it."
Yu Nuan also thought it was a good suggestion, so she and Gu Qing removed the packaging from the apples and distributed them to their classmates. Everyone accepted the apples with smiles and said thank you.
Some of the more outgoing classmates teased the two of them, saying, "We should celebrate more of these holidays in the future. With the school beauty in our class, we can also benefit from it."
"Hahaha, that's it."
Everyone was just joking; there was no malice intended.
Yu Nuan and Gu Qing gave apples to everyone, and then the others gave Yu Nuan and Gu Qing the apples they had prepared to give away. Yu Nuan looked at the even more apples than before and felt overwhelmed.
As for the school beauty mentioned by her classmates, Yu Nuan didn't know which classmate was bored and started a poll on the school's online forum. Yu Nuan and Gu Qing received the most votes.
Su Xi is actually the most fitting candidate for the school beauty; she is beautiful and also the top student in the entire school.
Yu Nuan placed the apple at the back of the classroom. A classmate had a plastic bag in his backpack and gave it to Yu Nuan. Yu Nuan and Gu Qing put the apple into the bag, planning to take it home after school, since it was a gift from a classmate and they didn't want to throw it away.
After sitting down, Yu Nuan gave the apples she had prepared to Gu Qing, Su Xi, and Li Jia. The four of them often played together at school.
After the four students exchanged apples, the school bell rang. The classroom instantly fell silent in preparation for class.
After school, the four of them walked to the door together as usual, but this time they carried bags of apples in pairs, which attracted the curious stares of passing classmates.
Yu Nuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone and just wanted to leave the school as soon as possible. When she got to the school gate, Gu Chen was already waiting there.
Seeing that the group was struggling to carry the apples, he quickly went over to help them.
"Why did you bring it home?" Gu Chen knew that the two girls were pretty, good at studying, and well-behaved, so it was normal for them to be popular at school.
Yu Nuan looked utterly exasperated. Su Xi and Li Jia were about to leave, but Yu Nuan quickly stopped them, stuffing their backpacks full of apples. Even if they took them home, her family couldn't possibly finish them all.
"Brother, what did you do with your apples?" Gu Qing knew that her brother must have received many apples from others, because she had experienced this since junior high school.
"Put it on the classroom windowsill, and anyone who wants to eat it can take it."
"Nuan Nuan and I were so silly, how could we not have thought of these things?" Gu Chen patted his sister's head, knowing that the two girls were kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
