Seeing Mi Qing hesitating to take the apple, Xiao Gu's brows furrowed a bit, "What, afraid I'd poison you?"

Mi Qing: "..."

Was she too obvious?

Without getting a negative reply from her, Xiao Gu's brows furrowed even tighter: "In that case, don't eat anything I make in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mi Qing hurriedly swooped up and grabbed the apple he was about to retrieve: "Huh, I'm just not fond of apples very much."

If she really is banned from eating Xiao Gu's dishes, what is there to look forward to?

"Oh." Xiao Gu responded and walked in the direction of his room. Mi Qing followed behind him and said along the way, "I saw your interview, since you are a chef, what are you doing so low key? You don't even know it, so many people came all the way out to see you today."

Xiao Gu: "It's exactly because I don't want to do that so I always kept a low profile."

Mi Qing pouted and secretly castigated, pretending to be noble and indifferent, so why get interviewed in the first place? She paused at her own bedroom door and waved the apple in her hand at Xiao Gu: "Thank you for the apple."

With that, she opened the door and walked inside.

Xiao Gu glanced back at her closed door and also walked into his bedroom.

Mi Qing came out with her pajamas and took another shower, sitting at the table and staring at the red apple Xiao Gu gave her. It was true that she didn't really like apples, but this one was delicious just by the look of it. [Should I eat it now, or eat it for breakfast in the morning?]

Alas, since it's a Christmas Eve apple, just eat it tonight.

She untied the bow on the bag, took out the apple and sniffed it first. The sweet aroma filled the tip of her nose at once.

Mi Qing couldn't help but open her mouth and take a bite. The apple was crisp, and a hint of sweetness seeped into her heart.

She was about to take a second bite when her phone on the table vibrated, it was a text from Zhou Yiran.

Mi Qing quickly pulled out a piece of tissue paper, wiped her hands, and picked up the phone.

"Are you free tomorrow? Let's have dinner ^_^"

Mi Qing swallowed the apple in her mouth and quickly replied with one hand, "It happens to be my off tomorrow~"

With another bite, Zhou Yiran sent a reply, "That's great, we can go to the amusement park, I heard there's an event tomorrow."

Mi Qing inexplicably thought of the "Children's Paradise" Xiao Gu mentioned the other day, she took another bite of the apple and replied, "Sure [rabbit]".

Rabbit gege: "Then I'll pick you up outside Nancheng Garden at 10 o'clock [rabbit]"

Mi Qing noticed him mimic the bunny emoji she sent and couldn't help but smile, "Okay."

She put down her phone and searched her closet for something to wear tomorrow while munching on the apple. Tomorrow is Christmas and she must wear Christmas colors to fit in the holiday spirit. She thought about it and pulled out a red crew neck coat. Inside... pair this a white turtleneck dress.

With her dress readied, Mu Huan can now go to sleep in peace. The apple was unknowingly finished with her gnawing, and she threw the kernel in the trash, went out to gargle again, and laid down on the bed.

Not two minutes later, she got up again and opened a mask to put on her face.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yiran was also planning to go to sleep. But before he turned off his phone, Huo Li sent him a text message, "Are you still in City A?"
