She took out a hand-embroidered shawl and asked with a smile: "Is this a gift for mom?"
"Yeah." Xia Nuo stepped forward and took out the gifts he bought for everyone.
Dad Xia's is a postcard of a local tourist attraction, and Aunt Zhao's is a hand-embroidered wallet, but there is no cold gift.
Xia's mother asked her doubtfully: "Where is Leng Yan's one?"
She had already thought about it and packed several packages of local specialties in bags for him. She bought a lot of specialties and everyone else had gifts, but his was the specialty.
Leng Yan didn't need to think about it to know that she didn't buy him anything, and giving him specialties was just a perfunctory thing.
Although he felt very sad, he didn't show any expression on his face. After taking the specialties, he said goodbye to Xia's parents and Xia's mother, and left.
Mother Xia seems to be able to see the awkwardness between the two children.
"Xiao Nuo, are you having a conflict with Leng Yan?"
"No." Xia Nuo looked innocent.
"It's okay if he doesn't. He's young, so you should give him more permission."
"Yeah, I know." She replied like this, but she didn't care in her heart.
He may be young, but he is very thoughtful. And she will definitely let him go in the future and will never dare to approach him again.
Leng Yan still came to her house for dinner every day as if nothing had happened. Xia Nuo no longer got along with him regardless of age. She set up a vacuum barrier between the two of them so that others could not see it and he could not get close.
In the past, what Xia Nuo looked forward to most was not going to school during the holidays, but now what she hopes most is that school will start immediately. Once they go to school, one of them is in No. 1 Middle School and the other is in No. 3 Middle School, so they won't see each other often.
Distance and time can dilute everything. If she is far away from Leng Yan, he should give up on her.
Finally the day comes when school starts.
Before Xia Nuo had time to cheer, he was informed that he would have to undergo military training for a week.
The sun is scorching overhead. In this weather, military training is like suffering!
On the first day of military training, Xia Nuo was tanned, and she kept complaining about feeling uncomfortable when she got home. Xia Nuo's father said that she deserved to be uncomfortable because she lacked exercise.
Xia's mother said she was pampered and deserved to endure hardship.
Xia Nuo's head is full of black lines, are there such parents?
After gritting her teeth and enduring it until the third day, Xia Nuo could no longer hold on and fainted while standing in a military posture. She fell straight to the ground, and her face was scratched on the cement floor.
Now Xia's parents finally felt sorry for her.
She took a day off and rested at home. The whole family took care of her as a key protection target.
Leng Yan learned about her condition when he came to eat. He stared at her bruised face and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, it's just a minor injury." She didn't want him to continue to care about her, so she acted indifferently.
"Can I skip the military training in the next few days?" he asked again.
"Yes, but I can't give up military training just because of a little difficulty. This is a time to hone my will, and I must persevere until the end." Xia Nuo, who looked inspirational, said inconsistently.
Leng Yan frowned, as if he didn't agree with her continuing military training. But she insisted, and he couldn't stop her.
"You can run with me to exercise from now on."
"I have exercise. Our class teacher told me to run three laps around the playground every morning after class. This is to prepare for the college entrance examination in advance."
"Oh." No matter what he said, she had reason to reject his kindness, and she didn't know whether she was telling the truth or deliberately.
Leng Yan kept sitting there. Xia Nuo sat with him for a while and then couldn't sit still.
