Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu Weiyang, who is filming the online variety show "Youth Rush", is still at school, and Su Li decided to visit them before going back to school to watch the evening show.
So she stopped at the supermarket not far from Experimental First Middle School and bought quite a few mooncake gift boxes.
All the ones she made by hand were monopolized by Feng Huaijin, and she didn’t even get to eat one.
Su Li looked at the beautifully arranged gift boxes, reaching out for a pretty circular tin box, when a jade-like, fair hand beside her also grasps the other end of the tin box.
Su Li saw those fair hands and was momentarily stunned. She looked up and heard a gentle voice with a smile, "Su Li? What a coincidence. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Feng Ciye withdrew his hand and looked at the dazed Su Li, saying, "I’ll give you the last box."
Su Li looked at Feng Ciye somewhat strangely. Why was he here? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
She and he have had way too many "chance encounters," haven’t they?
Feng Ciye seemed to understand her thoughts and gently explained, "Don’t misunderstand. I’m here to buy Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes to take to Experimental First Middle School, to give to Feng Huai’s grandparents, as it’s polite."
Su Li’s thoughts were revealed by Feng Ciye, and she smiled awkwardly, "His grandparents have gone to Yanjing; you probably won’t meet them."
So Feng Huaijin is spending the Mid-Autumn Festival alone this year.
Feng Ciye gently frowned, "That’s unfortunate."
Su Li picked up the blue mooncake gift box, noticing the 399 yuan tag. Suddenly, she was taken aback.
She remembered the mooncake gift box Feng Ciye gave to their dormmates was not only worth 999 yuan but was also a limited purchase edition.
But why was the gift for elders cheaper by more than half and casually bought from the supermarket?
Could it be because... he cares about Ling Chenyu? Or is it out of politeness?
Su Li couldn’t quite figure it out, pushing the cart full of mooncake gift boxes to the checkout.
After leaving, Su Li handed the blue mooncake gift box to Feng Ciye, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Thank you for the mooncakes you gave our dorm yesterday."
This is called "courtesy demands reciprocity."
Feng Ciye was momentarily stunned, looking at Su Li somewhat surprisingly, with a glimmer of starlight in his eyes, his gentle lips curving into a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."
He put the box of mooncakes away, and his cherishing manner made Su Li slightly dazed.
Suddenly, Su Li felt a bit embarrassed. If Feng Huaijin hadn’t been so dominant, taking all the handmade mooncakes for himself, even the red bean flavor he couldn’t eat, she could have shared some of the homemade ones with Feng Ciye.
Su Li scratched her head, feeling embarrassed, and politely said, "If there’s a chance, I’ll treat you to my homemade ones."
Feng Ciye’s eyes brimmed with starlight, his smile growing warmer, as his voice gently responded, "Okay."
Su Li and Feng Ciye walked towards Experimental First Middle School together, and there weren’t many students inside the school.
Feng Ciye parted ways with her, heading toward the teacher apartments, leaving two boxes of mooncakes with the security guard at the entrance, "When the elders return, please pass it along to them. Wish you a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
The security guard looked at Feng Ciye and couldn’t help but sigh. Such an excellent young man visits every time but never meets anyone. Not getting angry, such a good temperament.
Feng Ciye gave a faint smile. Because he didn’t mind, how others treat him or underestimate him didn’t bother him.
Feng Ciye lowered his gaze and looked at the mooncake box in his hand, his lips curling slightly.
When one has been lonely and cold for too long, even the warmth of a firefly feels warm.
