Chapter 140: Romantic Christmas (1)

i Mutong seemed unusually attentive today. He even invited her to have lunch together and said that today marked the anniversary of when he was found by his family years ago, resulting in a period of...Since learning that Tang X修 had transferred schools, An Xiaotu noticed that he no longer intentionally sought her out. Sometimes, she didn't even see him in German class anymore. 。This day, I saw that Tang Sxiu was absent again. 。As Tang Xiuxiu was both his student and nephew, An Xiaotu talked to Jiang Junyang and Wei Jinyu, who were Tang Xiuxiu's closest friends, wanting to know what Tang Xiuxiu had been up to recently. However, both of them shook their heads, saying they didn't know. 。Today is Christmas, both at school and on the streets, there's a strong festive atmosphere. An Xiaotu received many small gifts from students at school. 。The sky was a bit gloomy, and as the workday neared its end, fine snowflakes began to fall. 。

An Xiaotu took out a scarf from the drawer and wrapped it around her neck, then held a cardboard box containing gifts from students.

Standing before the office building, she watched the pure white snowflakes fluttering outside, exhaling a plume of white vapor. Just as she was about to venture out in the wind and snow, she felt a shadow fall over her head. She looked up and saw a black umbrella with a starry night design inside—it was very beautiful. 。Turning around, she unexpectedly saw Tang Xiu standing beside her, and she was startled. 。"Tang, Tangsxiu student " 。"The snow was falling quite heavily, so I escorted Ms. Rabbit to the station." 。"Tang Xiu said faintly, taking a step forward. Seeing An Xiaotu still standing in place, he stopped and turned back to look at her." 。"No, no trouble at all, thank you!" An Xiaotu refused. 。She couldn't give Tang Xiuxiu any fantasies, and didn't want him to misunderstand that she had a chance. 。Even if he may have given up on himself 。"Teacher Xiao Tu, some things I've already let go. The more you try to be deliberate, the more you remind me of them." 。"Dauntless's tone was elegant and composed. "From now on, we are family. Do you intend to keep up this attitude toward me" 。He used the word 'later', but An Xiaotu didn't notice it. 。"No, not " 。"An Xiaotu shook her head" 。After Tang Si put it this way, upon closer thought, if I were to persist, it would seem that I was being too petty. 。"It's not a big deal for students to walk their teachers a short distance." 。"Come on," said Tang Xiuxiu, taking the box from her hand with her left hand while keeping her right hand up to shield them from the rain, "Let's hurry. It's almost the end of term." 。I don't want Teacher Xiaotu to catch a cold in the snow. She might get sick again, and then she'll have to take leave again..."Thank you!" An Xiaotu could only follow him, mumbling a thank you. 。

Tang Xiu didn't say anything else.

"By the way, Tang X修, you've been missing German class frequently lately. I heard you're also skipping other classes; is something going on Or are you studying abroad next semester The teacher thinks it's important to see things through to the end. Although there isn't much time left this semester, we can't just slack off." 。After getting on the bus, An Xiaotu only thought of this problem. He had been skipping class rather seriously recently. 。"Little Rabbit Teacher, there's no need to worry, my coursework won't fall behind." 。"Tang Shixiu drove with focus, calmly saying..." 。 An Xiaotu pursed her lips and ultimately swallowed what she had to say. 。From school back home, I have to take the bus to the subway station and then the subway to near my home. 。Tang Xiu directly sent An Xiaotu to the subway station, then gave her an umbrella and drove away. 。From beginning to end, there was no excessive behavior. 。 An Xiaotu returned home and saw that her parents were dressed up, seeming to be about to go out. 。"Little Rabbit, I'm going out with your dad for a stroll. We won't be coming home tonight, so you'll have to take care of dinner yourself." 。"Auntie smiled and finished speaking. Before Little Bunny could reply, she took her husband's hand and left home." 。" ... " An Xiaotu was downcast. 。Are you her parents Leaving her all alone at home while you two go on a romantic outing and don't even come back at night! 。 Though she was happy for her parents deep down, they had worked so hard to raise her for so long. Now that she was grown up, they deserved to enjoy life. 。It's hard to cook for one person, so An Xiaot Rabbit cooked a bowl of spicy beef noodles and took a picture to post on her friends circle. She captioned it pathetically: "My parents stuffed my face with dog food before going out for their romantic world. Christmas dinner for a kid without parents [smiling]." 。Thinking of Tang Yucheng, who wouldn't be back for over a week, even knowing he had to prioritize work, An Xiaotu still felt a little disappointed that they couldn't spend Christmas together. 。After dinner, I washed the dishes and then went back to my room to watch a TV show. 。After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang. 。— Husband 。He called her so early today It's 8:15 now. She was a little surprised. 。"Happy Christmas, little rabbit!" The phone rang, before she could even speak, a man's blessing came through. 。Merry Christmas, Yucheng 。"An Xiaotuo was nestled on the sofa, smiling sweetly." 。Although he can't be by her side, hearing his voice and his blessings make her feel like it's enough. 。"What are you doing" he asked softly. 。"Watching TV What about you Busy later" An Xiaotu smiled and asked. 。He didn't answer her question, but asked instead, "Have you had dinner" Hearing him ask this, An Xiaotu was taken aback for a moment, then somewhat embarrassedly stuck out her tongue and smiled, saying, "I'm full." 。" Walked to the window and looked down. " 。He suddenly said 。

“......”Hearing his words, An Xiaotu suddenly thought of a joke: A couple, the boy called his girlfriend and asked her to look out the window, then asked her what she saw. The girlfriend replied that she didn't see anything. So the boy said: "Look out the window, that's the empire I conquered for you.”

However, she still walked to the window with a nervous heart, pulled open the curtains, but did not open the window. 。I looked down, but didn't see anything special. My heart suddenly sank a little. 。She mustered her spirits and jokingly asked, "What Are you giving me a Christmas present" "I don't know if it counts as..." 。No sooner had he finished speaking than An Xiaotu, through the window glass, dimly saw a Range Rover slowly pulling up to the front gate of the residential complex. 。Though she was a little excited, she also felt some nervousness and fear. 。"How do you say it" she asked, her voice trembling with nervous excitement. 。The next moment, seeing the Land Rover door slowly open, the street lamp at the entrance of the community was a bit hazy, but Xiao Tuzi still saw that tall and familiar figure in the wind and snow. 。She covered her mouth, her mind went blank and she couldn't think. She felt her eyes getting warm. 。"Shall I go up to get you Or shall you come down" Tang Yucheng slowly raised his head, his eyes looking towards the window of An Xiaotu's room and asked. 。"I... you really came" An Xiaotu was still a little shocked and unbelievable. 。"Is 。He answered succinctly and firmly. 。stay with you and wait for Yisheng to wake up." 。"Wen Qi comforted her, "Yi Sheng is out of danger. He will wake up sooner or later, so don't worry too much." 。““Hmm” 。Wen Ping Sheng lowered his head,...
