"Is she only beautiful today?" Jiang Wanfeng questioned.

"Just a reminder, his description of 'beautiful' is actually wishful thinking," Li Qingran said calmly.

"Really?"

Lin Mo scratched his head and glanced at the girls nearby. Even though they were all wearing heavy coats, their graceful figures couldn't be hidden.

"To call it wishful thinking is an exaggeration; at most... I might fantasize about it."

"Well, it's already quite outrageous to talk to a female classmate like that."

"You made me say it, didn't you..."

"Lin Mo, you don't have to say it."

Lin Mo's face turned warm.

It's probably because Ranbao got angry by replying with "sweating little soybean," so now she's taking it out on him.

"Haha...after all, Lin Mo is just a normal guy..." Jie Bao was still trying to comfort him.

I'm so touched, Jiebao!

"However, Lin Mo still went a little too far... just a little bit, not that serious but not exactly lighthearted either... it's just, well, we're all classmates... thinking about really naughty things isn't a good idea..."

You could hear the shyness and embarrassment in Chen Yajie's tone, but even so, she was still willing to come out and talk.

The initial intention was good.

But I dare not move, Jiebao.

"He's incorrigible, there's nothing we can do about it," Jiang Wanfeng said condescendingly.

Who spoiled you so much, Fengbao? Don't you have any self-awareness? What kind of clothes do you wear at home all day? I'm asking you! What are you doing every night instead of sleeping properly?!

However, that's the end of the topic.

The girls realized that the topic was a bit offensive, so they stopped talking.

The night wind was quite noisy.

The increased number of people on the playground raised the temperature a bit.

But the kind of talk that spreads from person to person, like "It's so cold," "Yes, it's so cold," or "Can I borrow your coat?", makes people feel cold inside.

The party is coming to an end, and people are all restless.

One reason is for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony. In previous years, people would put on a show at the ceremony, which was much more interesting than a party.

As for other reasons

The entertainment parties at night naturally distract the young men and women from the event itself.

As long as I'm still wearing my school uniform but not doing anything related to studying at school, that's exciting enough.

They secretly play on their phones, play card games, complain about school leaders, spread rumors, and chat with teachers about campus gossip they would never normally have the chance to discuss...

And, secretly watching the person you have a crush on, even just a glance, makes your heart pound like it's being struck.

"Cold?"

Li Qingran whispered quietly, her fair cheeks turning a lovely pink from the cold.

In winter, the white mist from a girl's breath as she speaks is like the warmest humidifier.

"Fortunately."

"Ah."

Li Qingran and Jiang Wanfeng's small feet, clad in high heels, were hidden beneath their skirts.

After all, not wearing socks makes it quite uncomfortable to be exposed to the cold wind.

Chen Yajie wrapped the scarf he had given her around her neck.

The way the girl used her two delicately sculpted hands to tightly grip the gaps in her scarf to keep warm was also very endearing.

"Hey, it's almost time."

Jiang Wanfeng suddenly poked Lin Mo's shoulder.

"The door has already been erected."

"You still have to receive awards."

"You're leaving after receiving the award, right... hmm?" Jiang Wanfeng drawled, her breath hot against Lin Mo's face as she spoke.

The fragrance is sweet and delicate, unlike the fiery aroma she should possess.

Fengbao stole some mints.

What are we preparing to do?

"It's just an adulthood, there's no need to take it too seriously, it's not like you're getting married..."

“Lin Mo…life needs a sense of ritual…everyone values ​​coming-of-age ceremonies…” Chen Yajie frowned slightly, criticizing like a little teacher.

Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say since Jiebao is so cute.

"That's true..."

Moreover, isn't it wonderful to go from the gates of adulthood to the gates of marriage, to the gates of the bridal chamber, to the gates of family life?

I want to entrust my future to you...

Lin Mo, why don't you understand...?

Jiebao's innermost thoughts and musings came through.

Do girls who were originally least concerned with rituals become more romantic after gaining material wealth?

"We're going to receive the award, Wanfeng, shall we go first?"

As the party was about to end, Chen Yajie and Jiang Wanfeng both stood up with some regret.

Both girls wanted to finalize their marriage plans with Lin Mo beforehand...

Chen Yajie's goal was less specific; at the very least, she wanted him to understand the significance and importance of it.

But Lin Mo's feigned ignorance is quite perplexing.

If you don't wholeheartedly think about it, then passing through the gates of adulthood loses its commemorative significance.

...

"Yu'en, you'll be presenting the awards for the senior students later."

"Yu'en...stop looking at your phone and giggling like an idiot, look at your teacher."

Hu Yu'en's shoulders trembled slightly; she hadn't yet recovered from the somewhat comical little yellow bean emoji that had brought her so much joy on her phone screen.

When someone snapped me out of my daze, I realized with a start that it was just a strange, meaningless emoji...

"Okay..."

"These are certificates of merit. You recognize the people in them, right?"

"I recognize most of them, and two of them are my classmates."

"Okay, then ask the teacher if you don't recognize it."

"Ok."

After the teacher left, her forced smile disappeared.

Holding a stack of certificates, Hu Yu'en placed Chen Yajie's and Jiang Wanfeng's on top.

I took a look, and suddenly it seemed an eyesore...

Then it was placed at the very bottom.

After not seeing their names, I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.

I placed their certificates on top again, accidentally crumpling them slightly...

No, it was intentional... that's what she really thought...

"Well?"

Jiang Wanfeng's sudden voice made her look up abruptly.

"Wan, Fengfeng... I'm sorry, I accidentally crumpled your certificate just now!"

He instinctively tried to explain, hastily exonerating himself.

"Huh?" Jiang Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "It's nothing, just a piece of paper~ To be honest, I didn't even want to accept this award, it just left Li Qingran alone with Lin Mo down there... Sigh."

"How am I going to get that guy away from me later? Um, can you help me?"

Jiang Wanfeng had also been feeling stifled for the past couple of days. Her best friend had been staying in the dorm feeling depressed, and she was feeling depressed too.

But she didn't understand why her best friend was depressed.

Now, all she can do is proactively share her troubles, hoping things can go back to the way they were before...

"Alright, let's not talk about my stuff anymore. Hmm... you haven't seemed very happy these past few days. Can you tell me why?"

Noticing that Hu Yu'en's expression had turned sour again, Jiang Wanfeng quickly changed her lines.

"I...I'm fine, it's just something at home."

The fox glanced sideways, its beautiful eyes lowered, landing on the small boxes in Jiang Wanfeng's hands, which hung at her sides.

She held me very tightly.

It was so tight that even the fox thought there was some treasure hidden inside.

"What's that in your hand? Are you going to bring it on stage?"

"This? Shen Yanxi just gave it to me."

"Given by Shen Yanxi..."

"Hmm, they said Lin Mo asked her to give it to me. Tsk, even delivering something is such a roundabout way..."

"..."

Why not just say it was a gift from Lin Mo? Why go through all that trouble?

"What's inside?"

His tone became a bit harsher, causing Jiang Wanfeng to shrug her shoulders. She unusually put on a fawning, coquettish smile, something even Lin Mo had rarely seen before.

"I haven't...I haven't opened it yet, Yu'en, do you want to take a look?"

"Look...look."

Just as Jiang Wanfeng was about to open it, Hu Yu'en suddenly pressed her down again.

"Wait a moment."

In a daze, I heard Chen Yajie's voice from behind.

Hu Yu'en's gaze was then drawn to something bright green on Chen Yajie's chest.

She recognized the box; it probably contained some jewelry...

Especially after seeing the ring on Li Qingran's hand, she had a bad feeling...

Will she be there?

"Where did Ya Jie go just now?"

"She was pulled away by Shen Yanxi, and the two of them were talking about something."

It's confirmed... there must be jewelry inside...

Such an expensive item, does Lin Mo know... what it means to give a girl jewelry?

"You...you should keep it for yourself. After all, it's a gift from Lin Mo. Keep the surprise for yourself."

If a fox sees it... then it won't be a surprise. A shiny thing, would a fox want to steal it? It can't be stolen, it will just frighten it.

"so..."

"Hey, hello~"

Chen Yajie looked very happy, her crescent-shaped eyes narrowed into slits.
