Chapter 364 Giving A Gift, Being Confessed To?
March signifies the complete departure of winter.
And with the arrival of spring, it's that time of year when all things revive, animals… well, those in the know, know what I mean.
As usual, Chi Xiaocheng was spacing out in class on this particular morning, pondering how to earn more emotional energy while half-heartedly paying attention to the lecture.
Then, during the break, a slightly handsome but shy young man with curly hair approached.
Chi Xiaocheng was sitting in a small corner of the front row, a spot easily admired by those spacing out in the back, so the young man's approach immediately attracted a lot of attention.
He stood in front of her without making any further moves. Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but curiously ask, "Excuse me, is there something I can help you with?"
Faced with that sweet and slightly soft loli voice, the curly-haired young man subconsciously averted his gaze and hastily placed a gift box on the desk. "Chi... I mean, Xiaocheng! This is a Women's Day gift for you. May I... May I invite you to lunch?"
Today was March 7th.
The following day was International Women's Day. Thanks to unscrupulous merchants eager to boost sales, March 7th had been given the name "Goddess Day."
Although not as significant as Valentine's Day in mid-February, for trend-conscious young people, this day held a special meaning for girls to varying degrees.
Giving gifts and inviting to dinner.
His intentions were obvious.
Half the class turned their attention to them at that moment. Even the teacher, taking a break, took a sip of hot water from his thermos and watched the two of them with a smile.
Thinking deeper, inviting someone in a public setting carried a slight sense of moral obligation.
With so many people watching, considerations of saving face for both parties could make it difficult to refuse the invitation.
However, Chi Xiaocheng had barely opened her mouth and hadn't even finished saying the "sorry" to refuse when the shy boy couldn't handle the attention anymore.
He tossed the gift box onto Chi Xiaocheng's desk, shouted "Sorry!" and fled the classroom in embarrassment.
He resembled those Japanese anime protagonists, making an inexplicable move and then waiting for the female lead to be puzzled and catch up with him, or to find him after class.
The two would chat and develop an ambiguous relationship.
This curly-haired boy was also a bit handsome, shy, and melancholy, with a hint of a kind Japanese protagonist about him.
Unfortunately, the cute girl he invited was a lesbian...student.
Chi Xiaocheng looked at the gift box, without even a chance to salvage the situation.
"If Taotao finds out about this, she's going to explode, isn't she?"
Chi Xiaocheng considered Su Tao's possessiveness and felt troubled by the gift box in front of her.
But with so many people watching, throwing it away would be too hurtful.
Chi Xiaocheng looked around and finally beckoned to a girl sitting next to her, "Caicai, can you do me a favor?"
Chi Xiaocheng didn't know many girls in the class, and the one sitting next to her was one of the few she had a good relationship with.
Lin Caicai heard this and turned her head. "What's up, Xiaocheng?"
Chi Xiaocheng moved a seat closer to her, then reached for the gift box and secretly handed it to Lin Caicai under the table. "Could you find a chance to return this to that... that guy? I don't know how to deal with it."
Lin Caicai smiled slightly. "Xiaocheng, this is someone's good intention after all. So many people are watching, what will others think if you give it to me? What will the boy think when he gets it back?"
"If you ask me, you should keep it for now. If you don't want it because you don't know what's inside, you could donate it to the school's charity in that classmate's name. That would be great too."
Hearing this, Chi Xiaocheng's eyes lit up.
She gave Lin Caicai a thumbs up. "Why didn't I think of that? You're so smart!"
She returned to her little corner and put the gift box in her desk.
But her actions gave the other students in the classroom a piece of information.
Chi Xiaocheng doesn't reject gifts!
Doesn't that mean...there's a chance?
She, of course, didn't know that some people were already itching to try. Chi Xiaocheng was afraid that Su Tao would have another meltdown like last time and react even faster than before, so she thought about it and took a picture of the gift box.
She sent it on WeChat.
Orange: "Taotao, I received a gift."
Su Tao replied instantly: "???"
Then, a barrage of messages followed.
"Who gave it to you?"
"Male or female?"
"Why is the gift box pink? What did that person say to you?"
"What's inside?"
"You accepted the gift?"
"Xiaocheng, are you in class right now? I'm coming over immediately!"
Although Chi Xiaocheng knew that Su Tao would definitely be anxious, the girl's series of messages still made her a little overwhelmed.
Just then, the break ended and the bell rang for class.
Chi Xiaocheng slowly replied, "A guy I don't know gave it to me. He said it's Women's Day or something and even invited me to dinner."
Su Tao: "You agreed???"
Su Tao: "You didn't agree, right!"
In the classroom, Su Tao, who had stopped running to Chi Xiaocheng's classroom because class had started, was indeed as anxious as the former had expected.
She stared at the messages on her phone, jiggling her leg, waiting for Chi Xiaocheng's reply.
But the messages stopped.
Something seemed to have happened on Chi Xiaocheng's side. The girl didn't reply instantly, and even after half a minute, there was still no new message.
"What's going on???"
Su Tao tapped on Chi Xiaocheng's chat window. Seeing this, the girl next to Su Tao turned her head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Su Tao was on good terms with everyone in the class. Faced with the question, she quickly replied, "Xiaocheng sent me a message saying someone gave her a gift."
The girl said casually, "That's normal, isn't it?"
"Normal?" Su Tao opened her mouth slightly, looking a bit surprised. "No... Jiang Nan, why do you think that's normal? Someone gave Xiaocheng a gift, even asked her out on a date, and might have even confessed to her!"
The girl named Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at Su Tao. "Why isn't it normal? You have to know that Xiaochengzi is a beautiful girl who is in all aspects no less than you, it would be strange if nobody courted her. Aren't you so busy that you don't even have time to take care of Xiaochengzi? You should be happy about this."
"How could I be happy!"
Su Tao ran her fingers through her hair. "I know Xiaocheng is very cute, but... but being courted is still not right, it's just... I..."
She really didn't know how to explain this to her good classmate.
An entire semester had passed. The only people who knew she liked Chi Xiaocheng were her two roommates, Chen Qian and Xiao Wei.
Everyone else thought Xiaocheng was her younger sister.
She couldn't just openly say that she liked Xiaocheng, could she?
