It was too late when I found out.

He raised his face to look at her again and found that she was filled with tears.

"sorry···"

"I'm going back first."

Gone away.

I undoubtedly did something wrong in this matter.

Even my mother couldn't help scolding me angrily, but I felt guilty. After being said like this, I didn't want to do anything. I was just angry.

What?

Do you have to like it if someone else gives you something?

I also deliberately took out the trash and installed new ones.

Gift···

At worst, I'll pay her back tomorrow.

But what to pay back?

'The most important thing in giving a gift is your intention. Do you know how sad Xiaoyue would be if she saw your behavior like this?'

Thinking back to my mother's words.

mind.

It's like I don't know what to give her to make up for it, and what thoughts did she have in giving it to me?

She talked so much happily, and she must have been looking forward to watching it and chatting with her.

Like who do I want to discuss with when I get a new game?

in the end···

What to do next?

After tossing and turning, I couldn't fall asleep. When I got up, I saw on the table some strange-shaped things made from torn pages. How could such things be interesting?

"The patter of rain..."

It started to rain again outside.

The trash can that I placed the trash I threw away seemed to be a broken bucket without a lid.

If you get wet in the rain——

At a certain moment, I strongly realized that if I don't do anything now, then this strange relationship may really end.

"I remember throwing it in here!"

Very strange?

The person who threw it away with his own hands is now running out in the rain at night to look for it in the garbage.

Leftovers.

What juice.

Messy stuff.

It stinks like hell.

···

Found it.

Because I'm used to tying up the trash heap, the books inside were not affected.

"call···"

I breathed a sigh of relief and took everything back that I had confirmed was not missing. Then I restored the messy paper I had folded and put it back after checking the page numbers.

In this way, I read a storybook for the first time except Aesop's fables.

To be honest, I can't understand it.

But I endured it and read the entire book while checking the dictionary.

The next day is Sunday.

I originally thought I would have to endure it for one more day before I could see her.

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to come to the door again, still at a fixed time, but this time she was carrying a small bag.

"I made the wrong choice before! Ah Yao will definitely like this gift!"

She desperately handed over the bag in her hand.

Inside is a game controller.

Xbox's high-end controller is completely different from the cheap one I use for less than 20 yuan. But in the end, the card games I play don't need such a good controller at all.

"You're wrong. I thought the previous books were boring."

I took the bag and said exaggeratedly, "But after I picked it up and looked at it yesterday, I suddenly found it very interesting! It's more interesting than a game."

"Huh?"

She actually showed a surprised expression.

"But Jack in it doesn't feel like the protagonist at all. I think the guy who can't speak is the real good guy. It's a pity that he died."

"Ah Yao...have you seen it?"

"I watched it. I told you that I felt bored at first. The more I watched it last night, the more interesting it became. I couldn't help but watch it several times in a row."

"oh···"

She was stunned when she saw the book placed on the desk.

"Well, because I broke it before, I can only use tape to stick it on for viewing. Sorry."

"puff···"

She suddenly smiled, her gaze seemed to include the dictionary beside the book, "Has Yao not slept all night?"

"that···"

To be honest, I'm very sleepy right now.

But the psychology is very strange.

If he said he wanted to sleep now, this guy would have no choice but to go back.

"It's okay to sleep after playing for a while. In the past, it was okay to stay up all night occasionally."

So I plan to invite her to play games as always.

"no."

"It's not good to stay up late."

She was suddenly sitting on the floor, straightening her legs and smoothing her skirt, "How about Ah Yao sleeps here and watches me play?"

"ah?"

"that···"

“···”

I could clearly see that her cheeks were slightly red. What on earth did she want to do?

"Although I said it's not good to stay up late and I want Ah Yao to catch up on some sleep, I still want to play together."

"So is it okay to just do it this way?"

"Ah Yao uses my legs as a pillow. He watches me play and sleeps when he feels sleepy."

"That won't work. Then if you leave, I'll hit my head on the ground."

"How could it be!"

"Don't do it, don't do it."

"Idiot, sleep here quickly!"

She became angry with embarrassment.

"Whoever wants to sleep on an idiot's lap has a cat cake!"

I was angry too.

In fact, I didn't realize it at that time. She wanted someone who could support her to stay by her side even more strongly than I did. Even if he didn't speak, he just stayed.

That's why I was so frightened and rushed to send a second gift the next day.

That's why I take the trouble to come here every afternoon.

But having said that, if I had not picked up that book, maybe the relationship between me and her would be slightly different from what it is now. Or maybe we would just be passers-by.
