When she slept during class, she could see the pink thermos; when she woke up after class, she could see the pink thermos. Mu Qi’s dreams were even invaded by the pink thermos.
It was downright toxic!
“Seventh Brother, when did you start liking things from little girls? Is your old teenage heart finally awakening?” Hu Ying noticed the pink thermos immediately and teased Mu Qi.
“Get lost!” Mu Qi glared at her.
Hu Ying smirked mischievously.
When Su Yanxi returned from the restroom, the conversation between the two no longer revolved around the thermos but shifted to the topic of Christmas tomorrow.
Soon, it was time for the evening self-study.
As evening self-study approached its end, it started snowing outside.
Mu Qi was propping her chin, staring blankly out the window, not expecting a snowflake to hit the window, making her pause. As more and more snowflakes fell on the window, she finally realized that it was snowing outside.
“It’s snowing?” Su Yanxi beside her also noticed this scene, her eyes sparkling with clear joy.
Mu Qi turned her head lazily to look at her and said, “What’s there to be happy about with snow?”
Su Yanxi looked at her with a smiling face, her voice loud and excited, “It’s beautiful!”
Fortunately, at this moment, the students in the classroom were all excited about the snow, and the sounds of surprise and joy were continuous, so Su Yanxi’s voice didn’t seem out of place.
Mu Qi clicked her tongue, then turned her gaze to the window.
After the evening self-study, snow was still falling from the sky, covering the ground in a white blanket, making everything look serene. Stepping on it made a satisfying ‘crunch’ sound, which was quite enjoyable.
Mu Qi, watching the two in front of her making ‘crunch crunch’ sounds as they walked, felt a headache coming on and pressed her temples.
“Hahaha, Seventh Brother, come on!” Hu Ying threw a snowball at Mu Qi, and Su Yanxi, seeing this, also squatted down, scooped up some snow, and threw a snowball at Mu Qi, who was busy patting snow on herself.
The childish behavior of the two made Mu Qi think about ‘retaliating’ back. She lowered her head and bent over to grab a snowball.
“Haha, Seventh Brother, come quickly!” Hu Ying, holding a snowball, stopped in her tracks, and Su Yanxi, squatting down, molded a snowball and threw it at Mu Qi, who was busy patting snow on herself.
Mu Qi quickly dodged, and another snowball hit Su Yanxi on the side.
Su Yanxi burst into laughter, and her laughter infected the other two. So, the three of them, like little crazies, laughed loudly on the street until someone upstairs on the side of the road peeked out and said something, prompting them to stop.
As they walked to the entrance of Sunshine Community, Mu Qi initially intended to walk into the community with Hu Ying. However, she remembered something and hesitated.
“What’s wrong?” Hu Ying asked as she saw Mu Qi standing still, puzzled.
Su Yanxi, who was prepared to watch them leave, also blinked in confusion.
Mu Qi pulled the small ball under her hat and said to Hu Ying, “You go back first; I’ll take her home.”
Su Yanxi pushed her hat up, revealing her eyes, shook her head, and said, “No, it’s too cold, and you’ve just recovered from a cold.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Mu Qi patted her head and then waved to Hu Ying before heading towards the direction of the City South Community.
Su Yanxi had no choice but to follow.
The night was very bright, especially on the cold street covered in a layer of snow, making it shiver-worthy. However, Su Yanxi felt warm inside, and her gaze fell on Mu Qi’s hands in her pockets. She thought, at this moment, it would be even better if she could hold her hand.
“We’re here.” Mu Qi stopped and said. However, there was no movement from Su Yanxi beside her. Mu Qi looked over and saw the girl staring at her hand in a daze. She took her hand out of her pocket and handed it to the girl.
Unexpectedly, she sweetly grabbed Mu Qi’s hand.
Mu Qi: “?”
Su Yanxi raised her head, saw Mu Qi’s puzzled expression, and then realized. Blushing, she let go of Mu Qi’s hand and said shyly, “I’m going back,” lowering her head and running away.
Mu Qi, confused, glanced at her own hand, then at the girl who was already upstairs, waving at her from the window. Raising an eyebrow, Mu Qi waved back and turned to leave.
On the way back, she kept thinking about what the girl meant just now.
Meanwhile, Su Yanxi, already shyly lying on her bed, thought about Mu Qi’s expression just now, feeling extremely embarrassed.
As for Mu Qi, when she reached the doorstep, she found a reason for the girl to hold her hand just now. Perhaps the girl was expressing gratitude, similar to when Hu Ying was excited, she would hold her hand up and down.
