Dear Chen Jiu

That afternoon I went shopping with Lao Xiao, and I bought Chen Jiu a blue-gray check cashmere scarf.

When paying, I subconsciously took out my coat pocket and found the hangover candy I bought for Chen Jiu last time.

Chen Jiu will definitely not accept my gift, but Christmas is coming, and it is normal for classmates to give gifts to each other.

Just find a name and send it out.

"Xiao Gu, if the gift you gave me for Christmas this year is cheaper than this scarf, I really am!" Old Xiao shouted from the side.

After I finished shopping, I randomly picked a small gift in the mall, and then texted Xiaobai, saying that I would give him a Christmas present.

He seemed happy and told me to text him when I got there.

"Wow, brother, this is the first time I have received a gift from someone other than a guest, thank you."

"Uh, that..."

"It's okay, just tell me straight up, I'll definitely help you if I can help you."

"In the future, if someone makes things difficult for Ah Jiu, you should inform me.

And-" I took out the hangover candy I bought from the bag, "You remember to give this to him, you can eat it before or after drinking, don't say I gave it to you, give me another address, I will give you more later Send some. "

I took out my mobile phone and wrote down his address. When I looked up, I found Xiaobai looking at me in a daze.

"What's wrong?" I shook my phone in front of his eyes.

He stared at the bag in my hand again.

"This is for Brother Jiu, right? High school students give gifts worth thousands of dollars. Hey, that's great. I wish I was still studying."

"Who is stopping you from acquiring knowledge?"

I teased him jokingly.

"You people won't understand us, but Ninth Brother is indeed different from us, but you are not in the same world. I will definitely help you when I accept the gift, but how old am I than you, brother advises you, You can play around, but don’t take it seriously.”

Why are you so serious, I like Chen Jiu, I want to be nice to him, I want to give him a gift, isn't this a logical thing?

Xiaobai saw that I didn't quite understand what he said, and seemed a little helpless, "Hey, the feelings when I was young were so pure, I'll go up first, thank you brother~"

'young'?Xiaobai isn't much older than me, he's only in his early twenties when he's exhausted, how can he have so many insights as a gift.

So Xiaobai officially became my spy. In return, I would often send him some small gifts. However, Taobao was not popular at that time. Some of the things I sent were sent home by others, and some were sent by me. I bought it when I was shopping.

Having Xiaobai here really saved me a lot of worry and inconvenience. I asked him if the monkey had been here recently, and he must tell me when he came, and he also sent him a photo of the monkey.

But maybe the end of the term is coming, and the monkey never came back.

This weekend is Christmas, and there is no holiday for the second and third year of senior high school. The second year of senior high school is preparing for the "small college entrance examination" after the year, and the third year of senior high school is not a holiday as a rule.

My mother once asked me if I wanted to find a supplementary teacher to improve my grades. My grades were always in the middle and lower reaches in ordinary classes, but I hadn’t thought about anything related to the college entrance examination at that time, so I refused without any surprise.

My mother didn't force me anymore.

This weekend, I'm going to school to find Chen Jiu. The gift must be given on Christmas Day to be meaningful.

In the early morning, I also summoned Lao Xiao from the yard and exchanged gifts with him.

As expected of being a child, we gave each other the latest brand sneakers that were released that year.

"Have you installed a surveillance camera in my house?" Lao Xiao smiled at me with his shoes, growing up together did have a tacit understanding.

"However—" He seemed afraid of being heard, and said to me in a low voice, "It's cheaper than that scarf, and you value sex over friends."

"What are you talking about? Spend Christmas at home by yourself. I'm going to school today."

"Tsk tsk tsk, why don't you chase people and learn from them? I have always heard that he is a top student. If you don't study hard, you will have to work hard in the future, let alone a university."

"You think too far, I'm leaving."

University, the first year of high school is not over yet, what about university, I didn't care about what Lao Xiao said, and went to school by car.

When I arrived at the school, it was already time for dinner. It was already dark, but the food stalls at the gate of the school were all brightly lit. There were already students standing in twos and threes in front of the stalls. Every shop set up a stall at the entrance to sell peace. fruit, santa hat and some trinkets.

Some also display beautifully wrapped red roses.

I sent a text message to Chen Jiu in the afternoon, saying that today is Christmas and I want to come to school to meet him for dinner. To my surprise, he responded quickly and said 'yes'.

But after I was pleasantly surprised, I felt uneasy. There was no reason why he would agree to me, but there was no reason why he agreed and I would not come. I waited for him to come out at the door, and waited and waited until he walked out of the school with the rumored girlfriend. All those fantasies turned into bubbles.

Then the girl said something to Chen Jiu, Chen Jiu slightly tilted his head to listen, and then nodded.

The girl turned around and went to a casserole restaurant, while Chen Jiu continued walking, and then saw me.

"Let's have dinner together."

I took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere and didn't mention that girl.

The street was full of lively atmosphere of Christmas, and many students got together to laugh and play and give gifts to each other.

When I was going to eat later, I took the opportunity to give the gift to Chen Jiu.

I took Chen Jiu to a noodle shop near the school. Today is actually my birthday, but my family never gave it to me. My parents would only transfer a sum of money to me as a birthday gift before then, but I Every day, I secretly eat a bowl of noodles by myself, which is a sense of ritual.

Celebrating another year older and one step closer to adulthood.

But this birthday can let Chen Jiu accompany me to eat a bowl of longevity noodles, which is really meaningful.

Chen Jiu was silent as usual today, halfway through the meal I thought about talking about gifts.

"I--"

"I--"

We spoke at the same time.

"You talk first."

I say.

Chen Jiu took out an envelope from his clothes bag, which looked a bit thick. My first reaction was a Christmas card, but soon I remembered that there was only one reason why he readily agreed to my invitation, that is, to pay back the money.

Sure enough, Chen Jiu pushed the envelope to my side and said "Thank you."

I brought the gift bag to the table, "Merry Christmas! Sending you a present."

The meaning is obvious, if he doesn't accept this gift, I won't ask for his money.

He looked at the bag and then at me.

Then I stood up and went to the counter to check out. I stared blankly at his back. He seemed to have stood there for a few minutes. When he came back again, he took an apple in his hand, put it on my table, and said again "Thank you", then opened the door and left.

At that moment, I felt that the intersection between us was completely over, and my heart was beating very flustered.

I picked up the things on the table and chased them out. I don't know what will happen if I catch up, but if it's true that I don't do something, I will go on my way.
