I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 99: Harvesting Apples on Christmas Eve

In the next few days, Li Xu dragged Luo Jiahui to a hotel every night to get a room. He seemed to be obsessed with her beauty and couldn't extricate himself.

I'm not that interested in writing novels or speculating in gold anymore.

Fortunately, he is a "plagiarist", so he only needs to copy and paste, and does not need to really think about the plot and spend a lot of time typing, otherwise the novel will definitely be discontinued.

However, his gold speculation was still affected. He didn't pay much attention to the market at night these days, missed a good market trend, and lost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

As the saying goes, women only affect the speed at which men draw their swords.

But if Li Xu were given another chance to choose, he would rather earn tens of millions... millions... hundreds of thousands less than miss out on Luo Jiahui.

For him now, the price of several million is still a bit high. Maybe in a year or two, Luo Jiahui's position in his heart will rise to that level.

Seeing that Li Xu did not come home every night, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu and others in the dormitory were extremely envious.

Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang, these two guys, have been clamoring to find girlfriends since the beginning of the school year, but as the semester is about to pass, they are still single.

Although Li Guanfu has found a girlfriend, the relationship is progressing very slowly. After dating for more than a month, they are still at the stage of holding hands and hugging.

Since they have exams coming up soon, the two of them often go to the library's study room together to review.

In a blink of an eye, it was December 12th, Friday, Christmas Eve.

In the morning, Li Xu calculated the time again and walked into the classroom from the back door before the bell rang.

After he sat down in the seat Xu Haoyang had reserved for him, he noticed a big apple wrapped in colored paper on the table. Then he remembered that today was Christmas Eve.

At this time, it is very popular to send apples to each other on Christmas Eve. Some girls will even buy a lot of apples, carefully wrap them in colorful paper and give them to people one by one.

"Whose apple is this?" Li Xu picked up the apple on the table and looked at it puzzledly.

"Sun Wenjing gave it to you." Xu Haoyang said with a smile.

"Sun Wenjing is such a nice person. She even gave us a share." As he spoke, he also took out an apple wrapped in colored paper from the desk, but it was obviously much smaller than Li Xu's.

Li Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, and felt a little complicated.

It would be a lie to say that he has no good feelings towards Sun Wenjing.

It is difficult for any man to refuse a girl who secretly likes you, especially if the girl is pretty.

As the saying goes, it’s easy for a girl to pursue a boy.

But he already has a girlfriend now. Although Luo Jiahui is a little vain, she has a very likable personality. She is beautiful, likes to act coquettishly, and is well-behaved and sensible. She is definitely a qualified girlfriend.

He really didn't want to mess with other girls anymore, so he could only let the girls down.

After all, he is not the kind of scumbag who falls in love with every girl he meets and wants to hug her left and right.

Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but yawn.

"Brother Xu, you didn't get enough rest last night?" Xu Haoyang said with a wink and a smile.

Li Xu glanced at him and said unhappily, "Can't you use your gossiping energy to find a girlfriend?"

He didn't get a good rest last night, but he was not obsessed with beauty. Instead, he was speculating in paper gold and watching the market until two or three in the morning.

Having missed a market trend two days ago and lost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in profit, Li Xu learned from his mistakes and decided to restrain himself and focus more on making money.

He had two fights with Luo Jiahui last night, and spent the rest of the time watching the market.

For him, twice was already very restrained.

There are two ideological and political classes on Friday morning.

After the first period, Li Xu was just about to lie down on the table and take a nap when Guan Jiayu came over with an apple wrapped in colored paper.

"Here, this is for you." She said, and handed over the apple in her hand. "Thanks!" Li Xu looked at Guan Jiayu with some surprise and took the apple.

Guan Jiayu didn't say much and left after giving the apples.

However, as soon as she left, Fu Linlin came over with an apple.

I don’t know if they had discussed it beforehand, but Guan Jiayu, Fu Linlin, Jiang Jingni… they came one after another to give apples to Li Xu.

Even Lu Fang gave him one.

There were even a few girls in Class 1, whom Li Xu didn't even know, who gave him apples.

Looking at the dozen or so beautiful apples of various shapes and colors wrapped in colorful paper on the desk, Li Xu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang on the side were looking at each other with envy. Among them, only Xu Haoyang received an apple, and it was thanks to Li Xu.

After class in the morning, Li Xu, holding his textbook and carrying a big bag of apples, walked out of the classroom from the back door with Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang, and saw the graceful Luo Jiahui standing outside the door.

Li Xu handed the Ideological and Political Education textbook and the big bag of apples to Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang, asking them to help take them back.

Then, he smiled and said to Luo Jiahui, "Why are you here?"

"I came to have dinner with you."

Luo Jiahui finished her words with a smile, then added with a hint of jealousy, "You're really popular. You received so many apples. They were all given to you by girls, right?"

She only received three or four apples today, all of which were sent by a few girls like Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping who had a good relationship with her.

Ever since she got together with Li Xu, there weren't many boys trying to court her. Anyone with a little self-awareness would know that they couldn't compete with Li Xu.

"Are you jealous of just a few apples?" Li Xu found it a little funny.

"Let's go, let's go eat." After saying that, he and Luo Jiahui went downstairs side by side and walked out of the teaching building.

"Tonight is Christmas Eve, how are we going to celebrate it?" Luo Jiahui glanced at Li Xu and said with a smile of anticipation.

"Eat and get a room." Li Xu said casually.

"That's it?" Luo Jiahui curled her lips, looking disappointed.

"Then how do you want to live?" Li Xu asked with a smile.

"How about we go to the city to play tonight? I heard that the Mochou Road Church will be distributing Christmas gifts tonight." Luo Jiahui said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Xu said with a chuckle.

After accompanying Luo Jiahui to eat in the cafeteria, Li Xu separated from her and did not send her back to the dormitory.

It is impossible for him to be like some boys who pick up and drop off their girlfriends all the time and be available at their beck and call at any time.

He will try his best to be a good boyfriend, but he will not obey Luo Jiahui in everything.

After parting with Luo Jiahui, Li Xu went to the commercial street on campus and bought a dozen peace apples, the kind that come in packages, from a fruit store.

It’s quite expensive, eight dollars each.

But the apples are big and the packaging is very beautiful.

Since I received so many apples, I have to give some gift in return.

After buying apples, Li Xu saw someone selling Christmas cards and bought a few.
