In a blink of an eye, it was Christmas again.
Chen Hai cursed that the damned cold air still hadn't left and had even gotten colder. Fortunately, it wasn't a sudden overnight drop in temperature, so people were somewhat prepared.
"Whoosh, ooooooooooh, Achoo!"
The window was pulled open, and the cold wind hit directly, making the girl with a big schoolbag standing behind the window sneeze loudly. "So cold~"
It was Christmas, and it happened to be the weekend, so Tang Keke didn't need to go to school. She didn't even want to get out of bed at first. After all, it was so cold outside, and getting up was simply a torturous thing.
However, Tang Keke still put on her coat and then went upstairs to find Bai Yuyou to play with. After all, they had made an appointment to go out shopping and have something to eat today.
"Once a girl grows up, she'll be eager to leave home."
This was what Tang's father said. Although it was just a joke, he didn't mind that Keke and Bai Yuyou had a good relationship and even lived together.
After Tang Keke arrived at Ye Shuang's house, she looked around. "Huh? Hasn't Yu You gotten up yet today?"
Although Yu You didn't get up early every day, Keke had lingered in bed for a while today, and it was already ten o'clock. Was she upstairs?
"Thump, thump, thump." Just then, Tang Keke noticed the sound of footsteps. When she looked up, she was stunned for a moment.
Bai Yuyou was wearing a snow - white cotton - padded jacket. For some reason, it looked extremely thick, and her waist was round, making her look like she had gained several pounds. If it weren't for her face remaining the same, Keke would really have thought that Bai Yuyou had suddenly become fat overnight.
"Yu You, why are you wearing so many clothes today?" Tang Keke asked.
"The central air - conditioner is broken. Ye Shuang told me to wear more." Bai Yuyou stretched out her arms and then moved them back and forth expressionlessly, looking like a flexible white chubby person, which was extremely cute.
"That's too much!"
As Tang Keke was speaking, she also noticed that the house was indeed not warm today. She asked curiously, "Where's Brother?"
"Ye Shuang went out. He said he had something to do and would come back in the afternoon. So we'll have breakfast just the two of us." Bai Yuyou said as she staggered towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast. If it was just her and Keke, they would probably just steam something casually.
"Hey, Yu You, do you think on this Christmas..." At this time, Tang Keke walked up to Bai Yuyou and said with a smile, "Should we prepare a small gift for Brother?"
"Gift." Hearing this, Bai Yuyou said, "Ye Shuang didn't like the last gift."
"I think it wasn't tied well." Tang Keke retorted.
Based on Tang Keke's years of so - called "love" experience, Bai Yuyou's way of presenting the gift should have been a killer move. The reason Ye Shuang had lectured her last time was simply that Brother had a high "magic defense".
"Actually, I've prepared a gift." Bai Yuyou suddenly said.
"Huh?" Tang Keke looked a bit surprised. "Really? You didn't tell me, Yu You."
"Doggy, you've changed." Keke had a complicated expression.
Bai Yuyou just reached out and pinched Tang Keke's chubby cheeks, then walked up to the cabinet in the living room. After opening it, she took out a cloth - woven bag from inside. "This."
Tang Keke leaned over to take a look and found that there was a scarf inside.
"Did you knit this?" Tang Keke glanced at Bai Yuyou.
"Yes, I knitted it myself last night." The girl nodded gently.
Tang Keke put her finger in the shape of a seven under her chin. "So, this is the so - called plain and ordinary gift that packs the most real punch."
"Ye Shuang gave me a scarf last year too." Bai Yuyou said.
"Oh? Right."
...
In the afternoon, Ye Shuang came back from the company. After Little Yi'an was born, he started working again. Chen Qin's recovery was quite good, and she could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. According to her own wishes, she wanted to live with Ye Shuang.
"Sure enough, it's hard for a person approaching middle - age to have their own time." Although he hadn't reached thirty yet, Ye Shuang couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, you're back?" At this time, Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou walked over.
"Yeah. Didn't you two go out to play?" Ye Shuang asked after seeing Keke and Bai Yuyou at home. Then he noticed Bai Yuyou's round - looking outfit.
"What's this... Have you evolved into a Michelin tire? Do you need to wear so many clothes?"
As he said, he reached out and pinched Bai Yuyou's clothes. They were soft and full of cotton.
"We need to keep warm well." Bai Yuyou replied.
"True."
Looking at the smile on Ye Shuang's face, Bai Yuyou also handed over the bag in her hand. "Happy holidays, Ye Shuang."
"Huh?" Ye Shuang was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the bag in front of him.
Holiday...?
He subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist and then said uncertainly, "Is it Christmas today?"
"That's right. Brother, have you forgotten?" Keke asked.
"Ye Shuang?"
"..." Ye Shuang rubbed his temples as if he had a headache but still apologized, "Sorry, I forgot."
He had indeed been very busy recently. He not only had to take care of company matters but also go to accompany the baby with Chen Qin. Such a fast - paced life made Ye Shuang completely unaware that it was Christmas today.
Although Ye Shuang could come up with a thousand reasons, he chose not to explain too much. He just said, "I was negligent in this matter. I didn't prepare gifts for you."
"It doesn't matter, Ye Shuang." Bai Yuyou said, "You've been very tired recently. You don't need to apologize for a festival."
Bai Yuyou's warm words made Ye Shuang feel a lot better. He looked at the bag in his hand and asked, "Can I take a look?"
"Sure."
Under Bai Yuyou's expectant gaze, Ye Shuang directly opened the bag and found that there was a scarf inside.
"So it's a scarf." Ye Shuang also noticed that this scarf was a bit rough, but there was a man and a woman embroidered at the end, which looked like a Q - version of himself and Bai Yuyou.
It was obvious that Bai Yuyou had knitted it herself, and it seemed that she had spent a lot of effort, because Yu You didn't know how to knit scarves before.
"I like it very much. Thank you, Yu You." Ye Shuang said, pausing for a moment. "I'll cherish it."
Bai Yuyou suddenly asked, "Ye Shuang, do you like this gift or the last one?"
The last gift.
Ye Shuang suddenly remembered the gift that had been tied with a ribbon last time. One could simply pull the ribbon bow and have it all to themselves.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Should he say he didn't like it?
"I like both." Ye Shuang coughed lightly.
