The evening air was a bit chilly, and the two of them stood at the intersection waiting for a taxi, with large and small bags of New Year's goods at their feet. It was really hard to wait for a taxi on New Year's Eve.

Chen Shuo was thinking about the conversation he had just had with the old man when he suddenly sneezed.

"Are you sick?"

"No, it's just a common sneeze."

Chen Shuo rubbed his nose and was about to continue thinking when he heard her ask: "Why don't you talk to me all the time?"

"You haven't talked to me much, haven't you?"

"I'm thinking."

"..."

To be honest, Chen Shuo was a little impressed by her, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about what my aunt told me."

Bai Xiaoqi frowned slightly. Chen Shuo was called to the study room just now. Wu Yulan took her and said a few words. The rest was nothing, it was just a matter of family feud, but there was one sentence that she didn't quite understand.

Hearing this, Chen Shuo was stunned. He originally thought that he had been inexplicably told to be in control, but now it seemed that she might be the same. He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Did my mother say about control?

?”

"no."

"Oh, that's good." Chen Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could really relax, he heard her say again: "When Auntie says you want it, I won't give it to you."

"WTF?"

Chen Shuo was stunned. He had always thought that if something like that happened one day, the biggest obstacle would be little Amiao's fear, but he didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back by Wu Yulan in advance.

Mom, am I your biological child?

No, no, it's impossible for the old couple to say this to themselves for no reason.

So, what exactly is the problem?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shuo quickly found the blind student's point, and then asked: "When I went out this afternoon, what did you and my mother talk about in the kitchen?"

"We talked a lot."

"Tell me what you two talked about one by one."

"oh...."

Bai Xiaoqi nodded, and then repeated every sentence they talked about in the afternoon.

Chen Shuo heard nothing at first, but until that sentence appeared, he was completely shocked, "You told my mother that I was in poor health, and you asked her to tell me those words?!"

"Well, going to bed late and staying up late is very harmful to the body."

"No, what I mean is why did you say these words? Didn't you just say "yes" and be done with it?"

"You are in poor health to begin with. I'll ask Auntie to tell you what's wrong with you. I don't want to be a little widow."

Bai Xiaoqi is confident and confident. The fitness equipment she bought has not come back yet. Even if it comes back, she still doesn't know if it will be useful. What if it doesn't work?

Even if it works, I can't stay up all night and sleep.

"..."

Chen Shuo's expression at this moment was hard to describe. You don't want to be a little widow. Do you think I want you to be?

Just because of this matter, you and my mother chatted across servers and had such a lively conversation. Now that it's over, the whole family thinks that we spent the whole night together, making me weak.

After holding it in for a while, he said: "Which one of us likes to stay up late? You stay up all night and hide under the quilt with your cell phone buzzing."

"I'm in better shape than you."

"...."

Chen Shuo was speechless.

...

The two of them were silent for a while, and after a moment of silence, Bai Xiaoqi asked, "What do you mean by what Auntie said? What do you want that I can't give you?"

"Wait for the future..."

"Again, I'll find out later?"

"The future I mentioned before may not necessarily be the future, but this is the real future."

"???"

Facing Bai Xiaoqi's baffled expression, Chen Shuo waved to stop a taxi.

"A car is coming, get in quickly."

.......

It was almost twelve o'clock when they got home. The two of them sorted out the New Year's goods they had brought back, putting what should be in the refrigerator and what should be in the kitchen in the kitchen. Then they took off their coats and Chen Shuo said: "Tonight is New Year's Eve.

According to the custom, you have to stay up late, so you can go to bed very late, or you can..."

"No." Bai Xiaoqi shook her head.

"Okay, then go to bed directly."

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Didn't we just wash it when we went out today?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around and bit her lip and whispered: "What if you want to kiss my feet again at night?"

"I..."

Chen Shuo opened his mouth, took two steps forward, took her arm and walked to the bedroom. As he walked, he said, "Some things can be tacitly understood. Don't say it openly. This is not good. Besides, how can we kiss every day?"

of."

"Then do you want to kiss me?"

"Don't keep asking this."

Chen Shuo felt that it was because of her habit that he became a foot-controller now. If she had kicked him when he touched his feet for the first time, there would be nothing wrong with him now.

"Then you are not allowed to kiss me tonight."

"Okay, I won't kiss you."

Chen Shuo sighed and pulled her into the bedroom. After turning on the light, Bai Xiaoqi's eyes were immediately attracted to what was on the bed. A very large cat pillow, which seemed to be about the same size as himself.

Seeing her confused look, Chen Shuo explained aloud: "I went out this afternoon just to buy you a New Year gift. I originally wanted to buy flowers, but I think flowers are not practical. They will die after a few days.

It fell off, so I bought this after shopping around a few times. How about it? Do you like it?"

"like."

Bai Xiaoqi stood up on tiptoes and kissed Chen Shuo on the face, then ran over and stretched out her hand to touch the cat pillow. Her movements were a bit cautious, as if she was afraid that it would not be real. When she felt the plush softness,

The beautiful eyes quickly curved into a crescent shape at the touch.

"There is also a gift under the pillow."

"what else?"

Bai Xiaoqi lifted the pillow up happily, and then there was silence, and half of her happiness was suddenly gone.

A copy of "Primary School Mathematics Tutorials and Exercises" lay quietly there, its blue and green colors particularly eye-catching.

After a while, she covered the tutorial book again with the pillow, "There is nothing underneath."

"I put it there. Do you know if it's there? Besides, I saw it all."

Chen Shuo walked over, pushed the pillow aside, and picked up the tutorial book. "This book is matched with the textbook you are using. It contains many ideas for solving problems and many interesting exercises..."

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi pouted as she listened to what he said, looked at the pillow in her arms, and then said in a dull tone, "Can I just ask for this gift?"

She could accept it if it were other books, but math...

The experience of doing exercise books in the past two days made her deeply feel the fear of being dominated by mathematics.

"Which gift do you want, the book in my hand?" Chen Shuo asked pretending not to know.

"No, I want this pillow, not that book,"

"no."

Seeing his refusal, Bai Xiaoqi flattened her mouth, buried her face in the pillow, and then began to mutter in a low voice, "You told me that the gift is a surprise, but now I have no surprise, I have no surprise, I have no

I'm surprised, I'm not surprised..."

Chen Shuo's head hurt from her reciting, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, please stop talking about it, who said it's not possible."

"No." Bai Xiaoqi raised her face to retort.

"The book in my hand is a surprise to you, the pillow in your arms is a joy, and together they are a surprise."

"...."

Bai Xiaoqi looked at him without saying anything. Did this guy always think of himself as a fool?

"Why are you looking at me like this? If you don't learn, you will always act like..."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo suddenly fell silent.
