Chapter 173 The Plum Blossom Has a Fairy-like Appearance (Due to a power outage, the update is a little late)

Monday morning.

Guan Ren was a little reluctant to get out of bed.

My muscles are a little sore today because I accidentally overdid it at the gym yesterday over the weekend.

In addition, the temperature dropped further in the dead of winter, to only around seven or eight degrees Celsius.

So even though Guan Qiaoyun called him several times, when she finally came over, she found that Guan Ren was only wearing half of his clothes, so she continued to sit on the edge of the bed and fell asleep.

"Ugh…"

Guan Qiaoyun's maternal instincts made her feel sorry for her son for a second.

A second later, her pretty face darkened, and she pounded on the door:

"Lazybones! We're going to be late!"

"?!"

Guan Ren shuddered and gasped for breath. He checked the time, then quickly finished putting on the rest of his clothes and hurriedly got out of bed.

After washing up, just like in a Japanese shoujo manga, she had two slices of toast in her mouth, a carton of Bright Dairy milk in her hand, and went out.

"Hey! Don't you want the scarf you found last night?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm wearing gloves."

Fortunately, he acted quickly, so there was still enough time after he went downstairs.

----------

"Hah—Hah?!"

Two minutes later, on the side of the road, while waiting for the traffic light, Guan Ren was yawning with teary eyes.

Halfway through, I suddenly found that the airflow was blocked, and a sweet fragrance entered my mouth and nose. When I opened my eyes, I saw someone's delicate white hand covering my mouth.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah?"

Guan Ren hummed with his eyelids drooping.

Outsiders can't understand it.

But his wife immediately recognized his voice as saying, "Luo Xiaobei, how old are you?"

"Hmph~ I was just worried your mouth would get cold, I was just concerned about you~"

Luo Xiaobei popped out from behind, a sly smile playing on her feigned serious face, looking exactly like the meme "Your little cutie suddenly appeared.jpg".

……

Luo Xiaobei and Guan Ren were going the same way, so this kind of chance encounter during their school days was not unusual.

It's just that sometimes you meet them early, and sometimes you meet them late.

We met at school in the evening.

In the past, just like now, we would bump into each other before even crossing the street.

……

Today, Luo Xiaobei was still wearing her pink caterpillar-patterned down jacket, a pair of suede low-heeled ankle boots, and gray pencil jeans that accentuated the perfect lines of her legs.

Guan Ren felt quite regretful.

Because he remembered that Luo Xiaobei had several pairs of ankle boots, all of which were best suited to be paired with tights.

But in the current cold weather, most girls can no longer wear velvet of around 120D. If it's any thicker, it'll become a "bare leg" illusion.

Guan Ren had always been indifferent to that thing, feeling that it was a disgrace to the pantyhose family. It wasn't sexy or cute; it was just a pair of footed thermal leggings.

"Nice hat."

Guan Ren focused his attention on Luo Xiaobei's head. Today she was wearing a warm brown woolen hat with a small pom-pom on it.

In Guan Ren's memories of his student days, it seems that many boys liked to play with the little pom-poms on girls' hats.

Guan Ren was no exception.

She glanced at it immediately and saw the little pom-pom circling on the tip of her hat, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"Fool..."

Luo Xiaobei rolled her eyes at her silly childhood friend and slapped his hand.
"Pig's trotters, so cheap... huh?"

After striking it once, Luo Xiaobei was surprised to find that the sound wasn't crisp enough. She looked closer and saw:
"You're wearing gloves?"

"Yes, you're wearing a hat too, it's getting colder and colder."

"Give me one~ Give me one~"

Luo Xiaobei happily hopped around on the spot, like a little rabbit, with the pom-pom on her hat bouncing along with her.

Guan Ren refused to give it:

"Go back and wear yours."

"You're mine~"

"..."

Guan Ren couldn't refute this.

The gloves he's wearing today were a gift from Luo Xiaobei last Chinese New Year.

It also has a print on it, which is based on the Three Kingdoms theme. It depicts a cute version of Liu Bei and Cao Cao discussing heroes over wine.

The wine is plum wine.

"Give me one quickly!" "Cross the road first."

"Oh."

The light turned green, and Luo Xiaobei, clutching Guan Ren's backpack strap, ran across, panting, and said:

"Give me~"

"No, you're already fully armed, what's a little more?"

"I've already said that girls' hands get cold easily."

As Luo Xiaobei spoke, she reached out and pressed her hand against the glass of the shop window next to her, then put it into the back of Guan Ren's collar.

"hiss--!"

Guan Ren immediately shrank his neck, and Luo Xiaobei giggled. After laughing, she leaned forward and threw herself into his arms, grabbing his pockets with both hands and humming with her little face upturned.
"Ren~ I want it~"

"..."

"Give it to me... please~".

"..."

Guan Ren's throat moved, feeling a little dry.

Although this girl is a little dirty-minded, she is still a "little dirty-minded" and has not yet grown into a "big dirty-minded".

Therefore, Guan Ren could see that Luo Xiaobei was simply being coquettish at this moment, and did not realize how much her sweet words actually stirred the heartstrings of the young man in front of her.

"Cough... Take it, take it..."

Guan Ren touched his ear and took off his left glove, giving it to her.

……

"Huh? Why are there so many people in front?"

When Guan Ren arrived at the school gate, he found that the small shops near the gate were packed with people, mostly junior high school students, but there were also some senior high school students.

"They're probably buying apples and lollipops."

Guan Ren was completely bewildered:
Why buy those?

"Because it's Christmas."

"what?"

I see…

Tonight is Christmas Eve, so many students are buying apples.

Merchants are also cunning; at this time of year, they specially prepare some cheap gift boxes, stuff in apples that cost a few yuan per kilogram, and sell them for 5 yuan each.

I don't know where the trend of lollipops started, but it's the old-fashioned colorful lollipops from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle". Merchants would stock up on them during Christmas and sell them to restless male and female students, who would give them to each other as gifts.

"Students' money is so easy to make; anyone who buys from them is a fool."

"Guan Ren."

As Guan Ren was making his old-fashioned remark, Luo Xiaobei emerged from the crowded shop and shoved a "traitorous lollipop" into Guan Ren's hand.

Merry Christmas!

"..."

Guan Ren accepted the lollipop from Qingmei, looked up in surprise, and bathed in the envious glances of many boys around him, he suddenly felt... refreshed.

Hmm...it seems this thing isn't so badly wronged after all...

That's called emotional value! It's worth that much money!
Wow…

So Guan Ren tore open the wrapper, picked up the lollipop, and showed off on the spot.

"Hey!"

"?"

"You have yours, what about mine?"

"Oh, don't worry, it's only fair. I'll buy it for you this afternoon. You should go now, or you'll be late."

Luo Xiaobei was not satisfied with this.

So many people are buying it even though they're not afraid of being late.

So Luo Xiaobei went for the second time, clinging to her childhood sweetheart, and bumped her chin against his chest again:

"Ren~"

"..."
