Li Mingxuan answered seriously and exhaled at the same time.
At this time, he seemed to be a different person. Although he was still short and thin, he seemed to have been reborn.
Tang Xiaocao smiled and said: "Okay."
"By the way, Tang Xiaocao, thank you, but I still have something to ask you, is it okay?"
Li Mingxuan became shy again.
Tang Xiaocao frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
She was a little wary.
At the same time, she still had some doubts.
In school, there are many boys who like her. Doesn’t this one in front of her also have such thoughts?
Do you want to seize the opportunity to express your love?
Seeing her suspicious and wary look, Li Mingxuan's heart beat wildly and he was filled with shame.
Yes, he likes Tang Xiaocao, he likes her very much.
But he is a very self-aware person, and he knows that he and Tang Xiaocao are like people from two different worlds, and there is no possibility at all.
But today, he is not confessing.
"My sister's birthday is tomorrow. She has never received a gift. I want to give her a birthday gift, but I have never given a gift to anyone. Can you give me some advice?"
Li Mingxuan's expression was particularly shy and awkward.
Tang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "You are her brother, of course you know what she wants most."
Nodding, Li Mingxuan said: "Of course I know that she wants a pair of beautiful sandals, but I don't seem to know how to choose them."
"That's how you boys are. Every time you choose a gift, you are always timid. You are afraid of this and that. You just pick a pair at random." Tang Xiaocao's personality is a bit more boyish. Anyway, he is that kind of girl.
She was a neat and tidy person, but when she saw Li Mingxuan's confused expression, she got angry.
Li Mingxuan said with a red face: "Just pick something, what if she doesn't like it? I really don't have any experience."
"Forget it, I'll go pick it up for her with you in the afternoon." Tang Xiaocao waved his hand: "Wait for me outside the school gate after school."
After saying that, she left.
Li Mingxuan was stunned on the spot.
This is an unexpected surprise.
But this surprise came so suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.
He really never thought about asking Tang Xiaocao to accompany him to buy gifts. He never thought about it. He just wanted to say a few words to Tang Xiaocao, that's all.
Sometimes women are very easy to be satisfied, and a few sweet words can make them extremely happy.
But that’s not the case for men. When you meet a girl you like, and she can exchange a few words with him, that is the most satisfying and happiest thing.
Li Mingxuan is particularly excited and happy now.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Mingxuan had no intention of attending class.
After school, he came outside the school, and not long after waiting, Tang Xiaocao came.
"Let's go." Tang Xiaocao said.
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Li Mingxuan was a little disappointed. He wanted to treat Tang Xiaocao to dinner.
"Where can I buy them? I don't know where girls' sandals are sold."
Tang Xiaocao was stunned and stared at Li Mingxuan: "You don't know where to buy it?"
"I don't know, I usually don't go out on the streets." Li Mingxuan said with a blushing face.
Tang Xiaocao felt particularly sympathetic.
She is also a child of a poor family. A year ago, she did not go shopping much because shopping cost money and she had to face the temptation of all kinds of bags and clothes.
Therefore, she understood very well why Li Mingxuan stopped going shopping.
"I know, come with me."
Tang Xiaocao took Li Mingxuan to a relatively prosperous small street nearby, where there were all shops selling clothes and shoes.
After finding a women's clothing store, Tang Xiaocao started picking out dresses.
Li Mingxuan was by his side.
"How do you like this skirt?" Tang Xiaocao picked up a short skirt and asked Li Mingxuan.
"nice."
"Yes, this dress looks really beautiful on your girlfriend." The shop owner smiled.
sweat.
Li Mingxuan quickly shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, we are just classmates."
"Haha, yo, you're still shy. What's wrong with your classmate? Can't he fall in love?" The shop owner was a man, looking at Tang Xiaocao with some lust.
Tang Xiaocao frowned, put down her skirt, and said to Li Mingxuan: "Let's go."
Tang Xiaocao changed stores and found a skirt of the same style. Tang Xiaocao spent more than a hundred yuan to buy it, and then stuffed it into Li Mingxuan's hand: "This is my birthday gift to your sister."
"ah?"
Li Mingxuan was dumbfounded and confused for a moment.
"Ah what?" Tang Xiaocao glared: "Don't think too much. Let's go. I'll help you pick out sandals."
Li Mingxuan's face turned redder, he didn't say anything and followed behind, but he was very moved in his heart.
He really didn't think too much.
Will Tang Xiaocao like him?
He wouldn't believe it anyway.
He is short, not handsome at all, his family is poor, his academic performance is not good, and he can no longer find his own advantages.
Two people were walking on the street, and there were many people coming and going.
Li Mingxuan walked behind and kept staring at Tang Xiaocao in front.
Suddenly, his eyelids twitched.
A man walked towards him, about forty years old. He was wearing a hat with the brim of his hat held low, his hands in his trouser pockets. He raised his head, stared at Tang Xiaocao, and then immediately lowered his head again.
It was at this moment that Li Mingxuan saw the man's eyes.
His eyes were very cold, very cold, and there was deep hatred and murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Mingxuan quickly followed, walked to Tang Xiaocao's side, and then stared at the oncoming man in front of him warily.
He didn't know why, but he felt very uneasy.
The man raised his head again, and this time he looked at him and frowned slightly.
Suddenly, Li Mingxuan found a strip-shaped object in the man's trouser pocket.
dagger?
Li Mingxuan is very attentive and has been careful since he was a child, so he can notice these details.
Is he a bad person?
Li Mingxuan felt a little trembling in his heart.
The man walked closer and closer, and at the moment when he passed by, he took his hand out of his trouser pocket.
Li Mingxuan kept staring at the man, and at this moment, he finally saw the hilt of the dagger.
With almost no time to react, he just instinctively pulled Tang Xiaocao behind him and shouted: "Be careful."
At the same time, his body was also misaligned with Tang Xiaocao.
A dagger was stabbed hard, and with a pop, it penetrated into Li Mingxuan's lower abdomen.
Li Mingxuan's scream was loud and he was very calm, hoping to attract the attention of passers-by.
Sure enough, the moment he was stabbed by the dagger, someone screamed.
"It's a murder, call the police!"
A group of people fled one after another.
Tang Xiaocao's expression changed and he finally came to his senses.
But the man had already pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Tang Xiaocao behind him.
Li Mingxuan's lower abdomen was bleeding profusely, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he fell softly to the ground.
But the moment he fell to the ground, he hugged the man's leg.
The man's lower body was unstable and he almost fell down. The dagger stabbed crookedly and missed Tang Xiaocao.
Tang Xiaocao flew up, kicked the dagger away, and stepped forward to take action. (To be continued)
