The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"Yes."

Xu Nian, in her wheelchair, replied.

"She left on a long trip this morning, and you won't be seeing her for a while."

"Oh, okay then, thank you."

It seems I'll have to wait a while before I can see Zhou Xiaoman again.

Xu Nian muttered to herself.

"Little Creek, let's go."

"Uh-huh."

"Wait a moment!"

The woman called out to Xu Nian and Xu Xi.

She returned to the house, and when she reappeared, she was carrying two beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

"Before my neighbor left, she asked me to give these two things to a man and a woman if they came looking for her."

"Give the blue one to the man, and the pink one to the woman. You can take them."

Xu Nian raised an eyebrow and accepted the blue gift box.

How did Zhou Xiaoman know they would come?

Moreover, they came together.

Otherwise, why would you prepare a gift box for two people?

What's in here?

He untied the ribbon from the gift box and opened the lid.

There was a letter lying inside.

Two large characters were written on the letter paper in neat handwriting.

"treasure"

Beside the letter was a beautiful white rose.

He picked up the bouquet of roses and sniffed them carefully.

The floral scent is very fresh.

The moment Xu Xi received the gift box, her brows furrowed, and her small face was filled with surprise.

She quickly opened the gift box.

There was also a letter lying inside.

"treasure"

It's exactly the same as my brother's.

Beside the letter lay a bottle of white rose perfume.

She picked up the bottle of perfume and held it up to her eyes.

It's the same brand and smells as the one I use.

Does this mean they've withdrawn?

A slight smile curved the corners of the girl's mouth.

However, she was not happy about it.

Instead, I felt a strange sense of melancholy.

Zhou Xiaoman was not a bad person, never had been.

She was the biggest spender on her brother, bandaged his wounds, and saved his life.

Furthermore, her skill level is far superior to mine.

With just a blurry glimpse, she knew that someone would come to visit and leave her something.

The only thing she shouldn't have done was get too close to her brother.

But what's wrong with that?

On the contrary, I lost the game the moment I sent the threatening text message.

......

On her way home, Xu Xi deliberately took a longer route and went to Yuncheng Bookstore.

She found a dusty copy of "Butterfly's Desire" in the clearance sale section.

"Thank you for your patronage, the total is 9.9 yuan."

That's really cheap.

In the taxi, she opened the book to its title page.

There was a line of freshly written words.

"I'm so glad you'll be my reader, White Rose..."

......

Zhou Xiaoman never appeared again.

She vanished as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.

Until the cast on Xu Nian's leg was removed, she was able to walk without a wheelchair.

The two boxes of milk in front of her house are still in their original positions.

A thin layer of dust has accumulated on it.

Xu Xi frowned slightly, took out her phone, unblocked the only number on her blacklist, and dialed the number.

"The number you dialed is out of service, sorry..."

"Brother, I can't get in touch with you."

She tugged at the sleeve of the boy next to her.

"Oh well."

Xu Nian squatted down and placed the prepared thank-you letter between the two milk boxes.

They've already come several times this month.

Yunnan University is far from here, so it's not easy to get here.

Not knowing when Zhou Xiaoman would return, Xu Nian decided to send a thank-you letter instead.

His contact information was left there. He'll personally visit Zhou Xiaoman to express his gratitude once she sees it and contacts him.

After doing all this, the brother and sister returned to the snack street.

Final exams are over, and winter break has arrived.

The bustling food street, which had been thriving for a semester, has now returned to its deserted state.

With the main consumers, college students, having already left school and no one placing orders, businesses naturally closed down and went home for winter break.

Xiaoxi Canteen's delivery team has also stopped providing services.

Electric bikes bearing the Xiaoxi Canteen logo were parked outside the store, awaiting the restart of the next semester.

But for its owner, Xu Xi, this is not a rare moment of leisure.

She has many things to do this winter break.

Xu Xi is currently lying in bed, organizing her winter break task list.

Organize financial statements, analyze data, and plan for the company's development in the coming year.

Next year, we will not only expand our delivery service to all campuses, but also extend it beyond the campus to other universities.

She had to personally handle everything from surveying and scouting locations to cultivating relationships.

In addition, my supervisor assigned me a research project that needs to be completed during the winter break.

And the most important thing.

Her life will become very busy starting next semester.

so...

This winter break, I'm definitely going to tear it down!

This is her nickname in a four-person group chat called "Has Xibao eaten today?"

Chief Love Strategist Wen Yao: Video Link

Chief Love Strategist Wen Yao: @This winter break, I'm definitely going to seduce him! Watch carefully, learn from him, dress like the girl in the video, dress a little more revealingly, with your looks, winning over Xu Nian is a piece of cake, right?

Zhao Lin, a candy-eating spectator: (covering face)

Zhao Lin, a member of the "candy-loving crowd," commented: "Sister, it's winter, and I wish I could wear three layers of coats. If you let Xu Xi dress like this, she'll freeze solid before she even gets to win over Xu Nian."

Xu Xi hid under the small blanket and clicked on the video link shared by Wen Yao.

Looking at the contents, she couldn't help but blush.

Good heavens, wearing so little, what's the difference between that and not wearing anything at all?

If they show any more skin, they'll have to add an FBI warning at the beginning before it can be broadcast.

Wearing this for my brother to see... isn't necessarily a bad thing.

But... my brother wouldn't let me dress like that.

This winter break, I'm definitely going to knock it down! : No way! Last time I just wore a little tank top in front of my brother, and he scolded me... (feeling wronged)

Strategist Qi Yu: This shows that Brother Xu still treats you like a younger sister.

Chief Love Strategist Wen Yao: (Thinking)

Chief Love Strategist Wen Yao: Hehe... Xi Bao, I have a Burning Technique, do you want to hear it?

This winter break, I'm definitely going to tear it down! : What?

Chief Love Strategist Wen Yao: Since you can't get his true feelings, then give him some drugs (winking).

Zhao Lin, a candy-eating spectator: (vomiting blood)

This winter break, I'm definitely going to tear it down! :(Thinking)

Strategist Qi Yu: Uh... based on my understanding of Brother Xu, if you really dare to drug him, it will definitely have the opposite effect after he sobers up.

......

Xu Xi threw down her phone in frustration, collapsed onto the bed, and blew on the tuft of hair hanging in front of her eyes.

There are so many things to do.

I don't even know where to begin.
