"Because you are my boyfriend." She smiled softly. When she looked at the smile on his face, she suddenly felt that she seemed to be happier.

The bond between boyfriend and girlfriend seems to be gradually deepening because of their status.

Isn’t this how relationships should be?

————

On Christmas, amidst Jun Yuexi's shouting, Bai Yueran discovered that this was actually a major holiday in the relationship between men and women, and men and women often gave each other gifts.

Jun Yuexi planned to give Ling Jing hand-knitted gloves. Bai Yueran asked curiously, "Xiao Xi, when did you learn to knit gloves?"

"I'm knitting right now. I bought a reference book, and mommy will be there to teach me in the evening." Jun Yuexi said a little sheepishly, "Although...well, the gloves are not knitted very smoothly, but mommy said it's the first time.

The fabric is pretty good, and it’s very warm to wear..."

Although he had not seen the real thing, Bai Yueran could roughly tell from what the other party said that at least these gloves were absolutely incomparable to the ones he bought.

"Wouldn't it be better to buy something?" she said.

"Only by knitting with your own hands can you show your true feelings! By the way, of course, aren't you dating Chu Lu? Then why don't you knit a glove for Chu Lu together?" Jun Yuexi suggested, by the way.

Bai Yueran dragged her into the water and "shared the joys and sorrows" with her.

When Bai Yueran heard this, she did not reject Jun Yuexi's suggestion, and even thought it would be interesting. However, compared to gloves, she finally chose a scarf with the simplest weave.

Accompanied by Jun Yuexi, Bai Yueran bought knitting reference books, needles and wool.

The color of the wool was maroon, just like the way he made her feel.

So, when Jun Haixin saw her daughter knitting a scarf at home, even though she was usually calm, she felt like she was shocked.

"Ranran, what are you knitting?" Jun Haixin approached and asked.

"Scarf, Xiao Xi said, it's best to give your boyfriend a handmade gift at Christmas." Bai Yueran buried her head in battle and said.

"..." Jun Haixin suddenly felt like there was a daughter growing up in our family.

Every night, after Bai Yueran finished her homework, she would spend 1 or 2 hours knitting this scarf. The maroon scarf became longer and longer as the day went by, and gradually began to take the shape of a scarf.

At night, after Bai Yueran knitted halfway, she stopped and said to Cang Yao who was not far away, "Yao, come over here."

Hearing this, Cang Yao walked up to Bai Yueran and saw the scarf he was knitting put around his neck. While gesticulating, he muttered, "It seems it should be longer, it's too short."

It’s not pretty.”

His body stood stiffly. From the first day she knitted a scarf, he knew that this was the scarf she knitted for Chu Lu, a Christmas gift.

This is something that has nothing to do with him. At most, he only acts as a model occasionally and tries on scarves. But for some reason, watching her knitting scarves in front of him every night makes him feel inexplicably.

Upset, he would even deliberately not look at her.

"What's wrong, you look so ugly?"

Her voice suddenly reminded him of being in his ear, and her face suddenly magnified before his eyes.

"Nothing." He said calmly, lowering his eyes and avoiding her gaze.

"Then why don't you go and have a rest early? The basketball club's practices are quite tiring these days." She said as she took off the scarf from his neck. "By the way, you have this year's Christmas gift.

Is there anything you want?" In the past, every year when she prepared Christmas gifts, she would also prepare one for him.

"I don't want anything," he said.

"Really? If so, let's just say that if you prepare a gift for someone that the other person doesn't like, then the meaning of the gift will be lost."

The soft and crisp voice was so harsh in his ears, "Is it true that if I want anything, the young lady will give it to me?" Under his half-cast eyes, his eyes fell on the squeezing hand in her hand.

on the scarf.

"Well, it's within my ability." Bai Yueran thought for a while and added, "If you want something, I can give it to you."

Cang Yao withdrew his gaze and said in a calm and indifferent voice, "Then no matter what the young lady gives me, I will never dislike it."

After saying that, he raised his feet and left the room.

Bai Yueran pursed her lips, picked up the needle and continued to knit the scarf in her hand, but what lingered in her mind was Cang Yao's words just now. She always felt that he was a little different tonight than usual.

————

"Cang Yao, you are just an orphan, why can you be chosen by the lady?"

"If you are of no use at all, then there is no need to stay in the White Gate. The White Gate is not a charity and will take in all kinds of abandoned children."

There seemed to be many voices talking in my mind.

"Xiaoyao, you are getting more and more beautiful. It would be a pity for a child like you to just repeat this boring training every day. Why don't I teach you something happier?" This voice said

...By the way, it was the voice of the coach, the voice of the coach who was almost killed by him.

The coach took him to an empty room, took off his pants, and rubbed his lower body with his hands, "Xiaoyao, you really look like a wooden person. Even so, there is no change in your expression. But then

It’s because you don’t know how happy this kind of thing is now, and when you know it, you won’t be able to stop.”

He didn't feel happy, especially when he exposed his physical weaknesses in front of others for a long time. So when he pushed away the coach and wanted to put on his shirt and pants, the coach stopped him viciously, "You do it

You have to do it, even if you don’t do it, you have to do it! I have long wanted to press you under me and have a good taste of you. I really want to see your face full of tears and begging me so hard!"

"There is another option. I just need to knock you down and leave." He said this, and then attacked the coach for the first time in a place other than the training ground.

The consequence of this attack was that the coach almost lost his life.

When the people from the White Gate investigated what happened, the coach accused him of taking action suddenly without any reason, but never mentioned what he had done to him.

When the people from the White Gate asked him what he wanted to say, he said nothing. Because whether he said it or not, it didn't matter to him at all, and he didn't care what the final result would be.

He was put in a solitary room, which was a very severe punishment for the children of the White Gate.
