In recent days, they hadn't seen Long Yong because he was busy with school matters, but their communication had increased. Naturally, their progress couldn't be hidden from Wu Xin and Wei Qian.
Wei Qian had nothing to say about it, but Wu Xin seemed a bit opposed. She had always been quite gossipy, yet this time she was surprisingly serious. Rao Jie asked what was wrong. Wu Xin confidently expressed her fear that Rao Jie might encounter another person whose appearance was deceiving. After all, they weren't very familiar with Long Yong.
Rao Jie felt that Long Yong would definitely not be like Bao Ming. However, Wu Xin vehemently denied her ability to judge men. Faced with Wu Xin's temper, Rao Jie decided not to argue any further.
Soon, Christmas arrived. Although it was a foreign holiday, it couldn't dampen people's desire for joy. Rao Jie didn't want to remain at odds with Wu Rong; she genuinely cared about his feelings after spending so much time together, and he had really helped her a lot.
She subtly asked Wu Xin if she could send a gift to apologize for accidentally upsetting Wu Rong and to express her gratitude for all this time. Although Wu Xin confirmed that Rao Jie hadn't yet decided whether to pursue a romantic relationship, she didn't dare speak too much on behalf of her brother for fear of making things worse. If Rao Jie ended up moving out, it would be even more complicated.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Xin suddenly encouraged Rao Jie to give chocolate as a gift. Rao Jie felt it might be inappropriate, as giving chocolate to someone of the opposite sex seemed to imply something more. However, Wu Xin argued that it wasn't Valentine's Day, so what was wrong with giving chocolate? Plus, her brother loved chocolate, so if she made some extra, it would surely cheer him up. She assured Rao Jie that her brother wouldn't read too much into it.
After hesitating for a while, Rao Jie decided to follow Wu Xin's suggestion and began preparing to make chocolates on Christmas Eve. She declined invitations to various Christmas gatherings and focused on making chocolates at home.
Since it was her first time, she started experimenting with different flavors early in the morning on Christmas Day, and by the end of the day, the dining table was filled with an array of chocolates. The entire house was filled with the sweet aroma of chocolate.
Rao Jie was the type of person who became completely absorbed once she set her mind to something. When she finally came back to her senses, she realized she might have gone a bit overboard. However, she wasn't too worried about having too much; in fact, she felt an irresistible urge to try more and found herself unable to resist going out again to buy more ingredients.
Wu Rong, who had been cooped up in his room, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He had caught a whiff of chocolate long ago. During lunch, he had seen some chocolate and managed to resist asking about it, but the more he thought about it afterward, the more uneasy he felt. After all, giving chocolate on Christmas was typically reserved for boyfriends; he couldn't think of any other reason.
The thought of her openly making chocolate at his house to give to Long Yong was infuriating. For a while now, Wu Rong had been ignoring Rao Jie, trying to make her care about him a little more. Yet, Rao Jie had the audacity to chat so happily with Long Yong; he had overheard their phone conversations several times.
Despite being so angry, she didn't come to comfort him but instead grew closer to Long Yong. This only fueled his frustration further. However, it seemed that being angry was futile now. She was already planning to give someone chocolate; if this continued, would she unknowingly end up in a relationship with him?
He had intended to come out and scold her, but once he stepped outside, all he saw was a table full of chocolates—Rao Jie was nowhere in sight; it seemed she had gone out.
