The 4th Most Heartbreaking Thing When You Like Someone (14)

  Sugar carefully breathed in the plum blossom fragrance drifting in the cold rain, wiping away her tears that were welling up. She mockingly smiled at the misty sky, but suddenly discovered a transparent umbrella appearing above her head. The small umbrella opened up a protective space for her. Following the umbrella, she saw the hand holding the handle, with slender and white fingers that made it hard to look away. A warm current flowed through her heart: "Xiao Nuan! It's you! How did you end up here?"

  Tang Sugar was both shocked and delighted, she lowered her eyebrows and rubbed her frozen red face in a flustered manner.

  Chen Xiaonuan stuffed the umbrella into her hand and replied, "I'll wait for you." As he spoke, he took off his own ash-gray scarf and wrapped it around Tang Sugar's neck in a way that brooked no refusal. He scrutinized it carefully, dissatisfied, then removed it and used the scarf to wrap up Tang Sugar's small head, winding it around her neck several times before finally being satisfied with his handiwork. As he gazed at it, a smile spread from the corners of his mouth, growing wider and wider until Chen Xiaonuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, his hearty laughter ringing out as he turned his face away.

  Tang Tang's face and mouth were all wrapped up in a scarf with Chen Xiaowu's warm body temperature, leaving only a pair of bright big eyes staring at him in confusion. A muffled voice came from the scarf: "What are you laughing at?"

  Chen Xiaonuan had a stifled smile on her face: "Nothing's funny, let's go home."

  He took an umbrella from Sugar's hand and held it over her head.

  Sugar Sugar didn't believe it, so she took out her phone from her pocket and used it as a mirror to take a look. Inside, she saw a retro-style girl who looked like a little hen, with an innocent face, looking just like a country girl about to carry a basket of potatoes to the market, and even she herself couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  Chen Xiaonuan suddenly jumped up, picked a branch of winter plum with buds that were about to bloom, and smiled as she handed it to Tang Sugar.

  Tang sugar was taken aback, her heart started racing, and she felt the little deer in her chest being very disobedient and bumping around. She hesitated for a moment before accepting it: "Why are you giving this to me?"

  "I saw you kept looking up at the plum blossoms just now, so I picked some for you. Take them home and put them in a vase with clean water, they'll last for about half a month."

  Tang sugar felt a warmth in his heart, and being cared about by others was such a wonderful feeling.

  "Really?!" She opened her eyes wide with surprise, put the plum blossom under her nose and sniffed it, what a lovely fragrance!

  Chen Xiaonuan looked at the two red clouds flying up her cheeks and teased: "You're really easy to blush, but I like it!"

  Tang Sugar's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare look at him again. Chen Xiaonuan was laughing so hard that her mouth couldn't close.

  Two people shared an umbrella in the storm, the one holding the umbrella was more laborious. Chen Xiaonuan took care of her like Tang Tang did to Gu Xianian, trying to cover Tang Tang with the umbrella as much as possible, while exposing herself to the rain. Unlike Gu Xianian who accepted it calmly, Tang Tang felt uneasy and pushed the umbrella towards him: "You're all wet."

  "I'm a boy, how can I be so delicate!" Chen Xiaonuan insisted on tilting the umbrella towards Tang Sugar's side.

  Sugar Sugar can't hold on anymore, but her heart is deeply moved by his small action.

  The air in the rain is exceptionally fresh, making one's sense of smell more sensitive. Sugar smelled a faint masculine scent coming from Chen Xiaonuan's scarf, just like his hug that night, which made her dizzy and infatuated.

  Infinite control

  When he walked into that alley full of danger, Tang suddenly thought that Chen Xiaonuan was waiting for someone, and didn't know if she had waited or not.

  It wasn't until now that Tang Sugar suddenly remembered, the length of this reflex arc was probably like Xiang Piao Piao milk tea, it could circle the earth three times.

  "I've waited." Chen Xiaonuan replied succinctly, gazing at Tang Sugar walking beside her with a pampered expression, her eyes filled with profound meaning.

  Tang Sugar didn't dare meet his scorching gaze and instead looked elsewhere.

  As she passed by a yarn specialty store, Tang Sugar suddenly thought of something, her heart skipped a beat, and she smiled to herself as she walked in without saying a word.

  Nowadays, fewer and fewer people know how to knit, so the store's business is very slow. Inside, not a single customer can be seen, only the boss's wife sitting alone in the corner knitting a beautiful sweater. She senses that someone has entered, hurriedly raises her head to greet them with a smile, but upon seeing two high school students, she loses all hope and lowers her head to continue working on her current project.

  Tang sugar lined up row by row of yarn, carefully comparing them. In the end, she chose a catty of milk-white yarn. When paying, the boss's wife was overjoyed and became more talkative: "You can knit yarn!"

  Tang sugar's face turned slightly red and she said embarrassedly, "I can only weave some small trinkets, I won't be able to make such beautiful sweaters like Auntie does."

  The boss's wife looked at her with approval: "It's already very good, many people can't even hold knitting needles."

  She turned her face and said to Chen Xiaonuan with a serious tone: "Cherish your girlfriend, such a good girl is hard to find, even if you use a 10,000-watt searchlight!"

  "Auntie, I'm not with him..." Tāngtáng's face turned bright red as she hastily and awkwardly explained.

  Chen Xiaonuan interrupted her calmly, "I'm just lucky, I won the lottery and found such a great girl. One look at her and you can tell she's the virtuous wife and mother type, so Auntie, please rest assured, even if I'm not good to myself, I'll be good to her."

  What he said was so convincing that Sugar's words seemed pale and powerless, and any explanation in the eyes of the boss's wife became shy and pretentious.

  Two people walked out of the woolen goods store, it was just past six o'clock, and the sky had already completely darkened, neon lights were already on, colorful neon lights jumping lightly, the rain was still falling, but not as fierce as before, warm and gentle, not annoying.

  The streetlights filtered through the transparent umbrella, quietly pouring down, without any weight falling on Tang Sugar and Chen Xiaonuan's bodies, the world under the umbrella became hazy and dreamy.

  Perhaps having just come from the warmth of indoors to the cold outdoors, and with the biting north wind blowing, Sugar couldn't help but let out a series of sneezes, her small nose breathing somewhat unsteadily.

  "Have you caught a cold?"

  "No." Tāng Sú rubbed his itchy nose red with his hand.

  "What are you going to knit with this yarn?" Chen Xiaonuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

  "Scarf." The sound of Tangtang's voice was very nasal.

  "Who is she knitting for?" Chen Xiaonuan became very gossipy.

  Tang Sugar originally wanted to tell the truth, but changed his mind before opening his mouth. With a mischievous look, he tilted his chin up and said: "Guess!"
