Xu Manxi downloaded a killing game client, and put her account on it every day, because after her friend went online, there would be a message to remind her that if she might meet Li Bingxi again, she wanted to say a few words to her.

It was already November at that time, and the weather was slowly turning cold. Xu Manxi had just finished reading a book and was about to go to bed, but unexpectedly received a private message from Li Bingxi.

[Literary point]: Sweetheart, long time no see.

[A bit vulgar]: Long time no see!I thought you didn't play killing games anymore, you haven't come for so long.Have you been happy recently?

[Little bit of literature and art]: Happy, but not happy.

This answer is beyond Xu Manxi's expectation. When you ask a person if they are happy, happiness seems to have become the standard answer, especially for introverted and sensitive people like Li Bingxi, who are generally unwilling Confessing your heart to someone you don't know well.

[A bit vulgar]: Did you encounter something?

[Little bit of literature and art]: Sweetheart, if it were you, what kind of birthday present would you like?

[A bit vulgar]: You are worrying about what gift to give your boyfriend.

Xu Manxi curled the corners of her mouth, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

[A bit vulgar]: Bingxi, in fact, the gift itself is not important, what matters is the heart.I think, as long as it is from you, no matter what it is, he will like it.Moreover, everyone has different interests and hobbies. Since it is your boyfriend, you must know what he likes and what he is interested in, and you can just match what he likes.

[A little bit of literature and art]: He is a nerd who only knows how to read books, but nothing else.

[Be a bit vulgar]: Then give him a collector's edition book collection, he will be very happy.

[A little bit of literature and art]: I major in science, and he is a liberal arts student who likes Western literature, so the two of us often can’t talk together, but I know that his favorite writer is Hermann Hesse.

Xu Manxi raised her eyebrows. She knew little about literature, but it happened that she had a little impression of this German writer.Xu Manxi's uncle was a middle school Chinese teacher when he was young, and he was particularly interested in these unpopular writers and works. He has a special library, which is full of collection and limited edition books. It's a treasure, Xu When Manxi was in high school, he visited it. It was very spectacular, and the collection of essays by Hermann Hesse was placed in the most conspicuous place.

[A bit vulgar]: I happen to have a hardcover collection of Hermann Hesse's essays in my hand, which was given to me by someone else. I can't understand it anyway. If you need it, I'll ask Yingqi to bring it to you later.

[Literary point]: Thank you sweetheart!How can I thank you, can I treat you to dinner this week?

It's true, Xu Manxi pursed her lips, she had heard too many polite words of "treating you to dinner later", she was able to set the time directly for this week, and she could indeed see her sincerity.

[A bit vulgar]: You don't have to thank me, those obscure books are in my study, and I think they take up space.

Xu Manxi is not a person who is willing to compromise. Most of the time, once she chooses a cold war, the opposing party will definitely lose, just like she has fallen into a delicate and awkward relationship with her uncle and aunt.Xu Manxi's aunt is a caressing and philistine woman. In other words, she will greet you with a smile when she wants something from you, but if you are of little value to her, she is definitely A look of indifference to you, condescending.

"Xi Xi's foot is healed?"

The man elbowed the woman next to him. Obviously, she was still upset about Xu Manxi's pretending to be sick, so she simply ignored them.

With a smile on his face, the man said, "Is college life interesting? I haven't come here for a long time, Xixi."

Xu Manxi has always hated a hot face to put a cold butt on her. She is not someone who can take anger, especially she doesn't feel that she owes her aunt anything. Since she was a child, although she was not willing, but when did her aunt ask her to She refused to help my cousin with tutoring?She just refused once, and she was about to erase all the help she had given her cousin before, and she treated her so coldly, if it wasn't for the fact that she was an elder and her aunt, she was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it Say nasty things.

Fortunately, my uncle's attitude is still mild, which can be regarded as finding a way for her to humiliate in the future.

"It's very interesting, and the classmates are very cute. I also won the first-class scholarship in the college this year."

Hearing the word "scholarship", the eyes of the aunt who was watching TV lit up again. Of course she knew that Xu Manxi was excellent, but ever since she heard from Xu's mother that she failed the course last semester, she felt that Xu Manxi was because of Being playful and depraved, she has no hope of getting Xu Manxi to help her son with tutoring.Now hearing what Xu Manxi said, she couldn't help being moved.

"If Haohao is willing, I can take the time to help him supplement physical chemistry."

"Of course!" The man patted the woman on the shoulder when he heard the words, "Listen, Xixi offered to help our son with his homework."

The woman was overjoyed in her heart, but on the surface she kept her composure, she still looked arrogant, and she gave a lukewarm oh.

Xu Manxi took out a delicate small box from his backpack, got up and walked to the woman and handed it to her. The woman was obviously surprised and asked, "Give it to me."

Xu Manxi nodded. After the woman opened the package, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. It was the newly launched Bulgari perfume. Xu Manxi said, "Auntie, what happened last time was my fault."

The younger generation has already taken the initiative to apologize, so the woman has no reason to hold back: "Hey, it's really not a big deal, as long as you know you're wrong..."

Of course, she not only prepared gifts for her aunt, but also bought a belt for her uncle and white lover's chocolate for her cousin. The scholarship awarded by the college this time was her first income in life, and she planned to use the rest of the money Help Xu Mengshu buy a tie, but there are only so many scholarships, and there is almost nothing left after just one belt.

"Uncle, there is something I would like to ask for your help." After lunch, Xu Manxi sat next to the man and said tentatively.

"Xixi, if you have anything to say, why are you being polite to me?"

Xu Manxi smiled politely: "I want to ask you how many books you want."

Xu Manxi's uncle, he doesn't care what you borrow, even if he doesn't pay back the borrowed money, he won't care, but every one of the books in the study is his lifeblood.But Xu Manxi opened his mouth after all, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only ask, "Which book is it?"

"I want your collection of essays by Hermann Hesse."

As soon as these words came out, time seemed to stand still, and the usually good-tempered uncle suddenly fell silent.You know, he asked several friends for the collection of essays to find the hardcover edition from abroad. No matter how much money you pay, it is absolutely impossible to buy it in the market now.Even if Xu Manxi asked him to borrow it, he was still reluctant, let alone she was not borrowing it, but taking it.

But my aunt suddenly said, "It's just a few books. You can give it to Manxi if you ask her." She put her arms around Xu Manxi's shoulders and said with a smile, "Manxi promised to help Haohao with tutoring every week. Yes, we should give her some gifts. Whether our Haohao can be admitted to university depends entirely on Manxi."

My aunt's ability to secretly change concepts is not ordinary. She just said that she would spare time to help Haohao with tutoring, but she came every week, which meant that she completely lost her free weekend time.The aunt seemed to be helping her, but in fact she was putting pressure on her in a disguised form, placing all her expectations on Xu Hao on her.

But even so, she could only bite the bullet and hold on.

But the man didn't let go because of this, he just asked: "Xixi, don't you not like reading this kind of books?"

"After I went to college, I started to like it. I feel that I have a lot of new insights." She thought for a while, but in the end she didn't tell her about "giving it away". After all, my uncle loves his niece. Maybe he will cut off the love, but if the niece wants to "borrow flowers to present Buddha", he may not let go.

On the way back, sitting in a taxi, Xu Manxi hugged the collection of Hermann Hesse's essays in her arms, thinking about the phrase that his uncle said when he gave the book to him, "If you like it, you should share your thoughts after reading it." Give me the experience", feeling like my whole world is about to collapse.

This must be the greatest crisis she has ever experienced in her life.

When he handed the book to Li Yingqi, he didn't ask any more questions, and he also agreed to help Xu Manxi keep it a secret, not to tell Li Bingxi that she was [a bit vulgar].

She took a picture of the catalog of the collection of essays, and then went to search for some pirated books, and spent every night in the library reading the so-called collection of philosophical essays that she never thought she would read one day, you know Not only are there many English words that she doesn’t know and she needs to look them up in a dictionary, what’s even more sad is that she still doesn’t know how to translate them after looking them up in the dictionary.

One night before going to bed, she opened the killing game client and found that Li Bingxi had sent her more than [-] messages.The general meaning is that her boyfriend likes the book she gave her very much, and she is very grateful to Xu Manxi, but it's just mediocre.

Xu Manxi originally typed a lot of words in the dialog box, but finally deleted them all, and finally sent only a "Like it".

Later, when she told Lin Xiang about this, Lin Xiang's expression was so ugly that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, feel sorry for her or scold her.

"You are not at all like the Xu Manxi I know."

"Who made Xu Manxi the ever-changing little witch?" She said casually.

Lin Xiang held her hand: "Chasing after you if you like, snatching her when she is with others, this is you, why do you want to be fulfilled?"

Xu Manxi pulled out her hand and put away her cynical expression: "Take it here, and then what?" She sneered, "What am I? A rich second generation who is fooling around, a bratty yellow girl. What can I give her? Maybe I'm still young, and I can afford it, but as Li Yingqi said, she is 30 years old, she can't afford it, and she can't afford to wait."

"I didn't think you were just playing." Lin Xiang shook his head, "Xu Manxi in my heart is a girl who can do everything for her as long as she recognizes someone. It is a very happy thing to be liked by her." , very lucky."

"Okay." Xu Manxi brushed the broken hair behind her ears, and took out the book and notebook from her schoolbag, "I didn't ask you to come out to listen to what you said, your English is good, help me read these few sentences How to translate."

Lin Xiang also stopped arguing with her. For a person like Xu Manxi, once she has made a decision, it is useless even if he wears his mouth.

"Xu Manxi." Lin Xiang called her, "Idiot."

What a fool.
