No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 747 Christmas Eve

Christmas, which is a festival equivalent to Chinese New Year in the West.

In China, it became popular to celebrate Christmas later.

Especially children and young men and women, when it comes to Christmas Eve, they are full of expectations.

For children, Christmas means special presents and special events at school.

For young men and women, Christmas Eve means a date, and it may also mean a gift.

But in China in this era, Christmas is still a holiday without any movement, basically nothing special from usual.

At the very least, there are no Christmas trees hanging out at school.

But on December 12th, Wu Xiaozheng still received several Christmas cards.

One was from Liu Zhilan, one was sent by Yang Yingru, and a few others were stuffed into his drawer by someone who didn't know, and there were a few names on which he didn't remember at all.

And most of these greeting cards are the kind of cardboard that will play music when opened.

"I haven't received a gift from anyone for many years!"

Wu Xiaozheng was listening to those monotonous music, while Liu Zhilan who was seated in front was feeling emotional.

In Wu Xiaozheng's memory, the last time he received a gift seemed to be a greeting card from his five-year-old son on his 35th birthday in his previous life.

On the greeting card is a picture of a family of three drawn by my son himself with watercolors.

See things and think people.

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but think of that scene back then.

Sadly, that scene will never come back.

My son can't come back either!
Perhaps, this is the biggest regret since my rebirth.

A regret that can never be made up for!
At this moment, Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help thinking, if he still married Zhong Xiaolan in this life, would his son come back?
Definitely still can't come back!

But at this moment, Zhong Xiaolan walked towards him.

He couldn't help but stared at Zhong Xiaolan in a daze again.

Zhong Xiaolan is very familiar with Wu Xiaozheng's direct eyes at this moment.

The first time Wu Xiaozheng looked at her like this was at Shonan No. [-] Middle School, on the day of the English competition.

He watched it twice.

The second time was at the Shonan City Education Committee.

And those two times aroused her extreme disgust.

She thought he was looking at her with satyr eyes.

But this time, Zhong Xiaolan just felt puzzled.

After getting along for so long, she already understood that Wu Xiaozheng didn't mean anything to her at all.

Don't say it's boring, even if sometimes she takes the initiative to find him, he still looks a little indifferent.

This made Zhong Xiaolan even more angry.

"Wu Xiaozheng, why do you look at me like that?" Zhong Xiaolan asked directly.

Only then did Wu Xiaozheng realize that he was distracted again.

"Oh, I'm wondering, if you come to me suddenly, are you going to trouble me again?"

This was the excuse Wu Xiaozheng could think of.

Although the two are in the same class, they basically have no personal interaction.

Even if there was an intersection, it was Zhong Xiaolan who came to him because of class matters, such as arresting young men and the like.

Zhong Xiaolan blushed.

She did seek Wu Xiaozheng for something, but it was a private matter.

"My dad said that I would like to ask you to book a room at Chef Wu's Restaurant for tonight."

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

It's such a small matter, why don't you call and book it yourself?
Well, this is a humane society, Zhong Huamin probably thinks that it will be more face-saving to help book a room by himself.

"Which store do you want?"

You know, Chef Wu's restaurant has opened a second restaurant in Yuelu District, and as far as Wu Xiaozheng knows, Zhong's family and Zhong Huamin's school are there, so the Yuelu District branch should be more convenient.

Zhong Xiaolan replied: "I want the Xinfeng Building store, we want to go to the riverside after eating."

Do you want to go to the riverside after dinner?
This is full, right?

Oh, today is a little bit special.

Only then did Wu Xiaozheng remember that today is Christmas Eve, and those who have the habit of going to the riverside will indeed have the habit of going to the riverside.

But what Wu Xiaozheng wondered was that in his impression, neither Zhong Huamin nor Li Huilan had the habit of spending Christmas Eve and Christmas!
What's the matter today?
What's so special?
However, he suppressed his curiosity, booked a room by phone, and sent Zhong Xiaolan away.

But when school was over, Zhong Xiaolan walked over again.

"Wu Xiaozheng, are you going back to Xinfeng Building now? I'll go with you!"

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

can i say no

In order to forget, Wu Xiaozheng is trying to avoid too much entanglement with Zhong Xiaolan during this time.

Basically, unless Zhong Xiaolan came to look for him, he rarely talked to Zhong Xiaolan.

But now, he has no reason to refuse.

"you hate me?"

On the way, because Wu Xiaozheng kept silent, Zhong Xiaolan couldn't help but speak first.

This is where she is most depressed.

It stands to reason that the two are both from the southern Shonan region, and they have known each other before, so the relationship in the class should be closer than other students.

But what puzzled Zhong Xiaolan was that Wu Xiaozheng was very friendly to other students, but he was a little cold to himself, as if he was just a passerby.

I don't seem to have offended you, right?
Even if there were some disputes before, it was still a competition in academic performance!

Isn't this a normal thing among students with good grades?

"I can't talk about hating it, and I can't talk about liking it."

Zhong Xiaolan got a little angry when she heard it.

This is obviously disgusting!
"What's wrong with me? Tell me, and I can change it."

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

Do you need to change it?

Is it still Zhong Xiaolan?

This was also the reason why he didn't want to get together with Zhong Xiaolan, the two of them simply couldn't speak a few words calmly.

It's a clash of personalities.

"Your tone is too strong, I don't like it." Wu Xiaozheng finally said this sentence.

This is a sentence he wanted to say in his previous life, but he never said it.

He now realizes that in his previous life, he seemed to care too much about the other person's feelings, and he was afraid that his words would hurt Zhong Xiaolan, but Zhong Xiaolan had no scruples.

Perhaps, that is wrong!

Zhong Xiaolan finally fell silent.

She finally heard a truth from Wu Xiaozheng's mouth, but this truth hurt her heart a bit.

Indeed, she has an unyielding heart.

Therefore, when she first met Wu Xiaozheng, because of her bad first impression and her poor performance in the English competition, she had the urge to compare with Wu Xiaozheng, and because of this, she had a conflict with Wu Xiaozheng.

But now, she has long since lost the desire to compare herself with Wu Xiaozheng.

There is no comparison.

It has become a fact that the results lag behind him every time.

Moreover, the current Zhong Xiaolan also knows a little bit about the inside story, and knows that Wu Xiaozheng's superior conditions are not because he was born in a wealthy family, but because of his own efforts.

At such a young age, not only did he have good grades, but he also achieved such a big career, how can this compare with him?
The two are not at the same level at all!

As soon as Zhong Xiaolan was silent, Wu Xiaozheng softened again.

He took the initiative to break the silence: "Does your family have the habit of celebrating Christmas Eve?"

"No, it's the son of one of my dad's classmates who came back from abroad, and my dad invited their family to have a meal."

"Oh."

It turned out to be the case.

It's no wonder that people who come back from abroad do have the habit of spending Christmas Eve.

Seeing that there was about to be silence between the two of them again, Zhong Xiaolan suddenly asked, "By the way, do you ever want to go abroad to go to university?"

"No, why do you ask so suddenly?"

"My dad's classmate's son is called Zhu Yimin. He was admitted to Harvard University's medical school right after he graduated from high school. He is very good! You have such good grades, so you can definitely do it."

Wu Xiaozheng was immediately stunned.

Zhu Yimin?
Why is this name so familiar?
