Gray houses with red brick fences.

The sky was as clear as blue, and it was a rare good weather.

The man whom he hadn't seen for a few days was standing on the terrace on the second floor, staring into the distance in a daze.

Lu Miao stopped to support his knees and exhaled white breath.

"Jiang Haoyue!" she shouted loudly.

He lowered his eyes, looking at her.

She jumped and waved at him.

The cold eyes instantly broke the ice, he smiled at her and waved to her.

Lu Miao ran up to the second floor.

Jiang Haoyue was waiting for her by the corridor.

"You've won the prize, it's amazing." She stood on tiptoe and put her arms on his shoulders.

Jiang Haoyue staggered for half a step, and steadied her body.

If her parents saw her irritable appearance, Lu Miao would definitely be scolded again, but it was lunchtime when no one was there, so she could do whatever she wanted.

He nodded, and didn't say more about winning the award.

"Go to my house, I have something for you."

So Lu Miao followed Jiang Haoyue to his house.

Seeing that he was not wearing a school uniform, she asked, "Aren't you going to school in the afternoon?"

"I don't want to go, I'll go to the mahjong hall to find my dad, and the teacher also let me rest."

Jiang Haoyue said as he walked, "My dad said that he asked some people to go to the restaurant with us for dinner to help me celebrate the award."

Entering the room, he dug out a packaged gift from his schoolbag and handed it to her.

"What is this?" Lu Miao took it.

The heavy gift is rectangular, a circle larger than A4 paper. The wrapping paper is a high-grade silver-gray, and it looks very expensive when you look at it.

There was an irresistible curiosity on her face, and he looked at her expression with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It's my grand prize."

"Then I can't take it!" Lu Miao immediately pushed it back into Jiang Haoyue's arms: "This means a lot to you."

He shook his head and didn't reach out to pick it up: "It's okay, just accept it."

Lu Miao pressed the gift into his arms, with a serious and determined look on his face.

Jiang Haoyue swallowed the sentence "I picked this for you specially" and replaced it with "This is something I can't use".

"I can't use it, so I'm wasting it, so I'll give it to you."

She looked slightly loose, he struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Will you open it up and see?"

Lu Miao looked down at the wrapping paper. It is silver-grey from the front, but from another angle, it shimmers with a pale golden luster in other light.

"Then..." She suggested hesitantly, "I take a knife and take it apart?"

"Okay, there's a knife at the desk." He gave her way.

Carefully, Lu Miao opened the wrapping paper, but did not find any damage or creases.

The "prize" inside is still a rectangular box, with a string of English written on the black box.

Holding the gift out, Lu Miao made a bitter face: "That... I still don't understand what this is."

Jiang Haoyue couldn't help laughing: "You read it carefully."

She had to read the string of flowing characters carefully again.

With her poor second-year English level, she barely recognized a word - "chocolate".

"It turned out to be chocolate!" Lu Miao pointed at the word, and her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, chocolate," Jiang Haoyue curled her lips, as if she didn't look down on it at all: "I don't like chocolate."

Of course Lu Miao knew that Jiang Haoyue didn't like chocolate.

Holding up the rectangular box, she sniffed it.

It's a pity that in winter, the chocolate is frozen so tightly that she doesn't smell anything.

This did not affect her cherishing of it, Lu Miao hugged it tightly, and looked at Jiang Haoyue secretly.

"The English speech contest is too inconsiderate. The grand prize is usually given to bonuses and so on, but they even gave chocolates written in English. The people who held the contest did not consider that the only possible winner in the audience, we are extremely smart and witty. Mr. Jiang Haoyue, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, doesn't like eating chocolate, how can this be done?"

Jiang Haoyue was very happy to hear her compliment, and she was happy to cooperate with her in acting.

"Then ask Miss Lu Miao to deal with the inattentiveness of the organizer and help me eat it reluctantly."

Lu Miao hugged the chocolate and couldn't help but "yeah" came out.

"Okay, then I'll help!"

Thinking of her bad habit: skipping the main meal after eating snacks; like to sneak snacks at night and sleep without brushing teeth after eating.

Jiang Haoyue explained carefully: "You must cherish it, eat it slowly, and remember to brush your teeth after eating sweet."

"Okay, okay." Lu Miao nodded like pounding garlic.

...

Strictly speaking, this was Jiang Haoyue's first gift to Lu Miao.

Regarding this box of chocolates, how slowly Lu Miao eats.

The first day she got the chocolate back, she couldn't help but want to eat it.

For the chocolate, didn't have a good dinner, and had enough empty stomach.

When he was doing his homework, Lu Miao kept it at hand, and when he did a question, he had to look at the box for ten seconds.

When Lin Wenfang entered her room, she immediately took out a thick workbook and covered it.

Lu Miao thought darkly in her heart: what if her mother wanted to come over and have a taste when she saw that the packaging was so special.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

The chocolate seemed to be few in total. If it was brought to the dining room, the parents would eat one bite each, and they would eat it up immediately.

So, Lu Miao sealed it with a beautiful gift box and put it under the bed.
