December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Today's sun sets unusually early, like the sleepy Tongtong, who dives into dreams early on.
Thus, the sky is occupied by warm lights.
Jiang Ning strolls along the long street outside the school, where the shops on both sides exude a festive atmosphere. Christmas trees of varying heights are adorned with colored lights and bells. As the breeze blows, the bells sway gently, emitting a pleasant sound.
Outside Yucai Supermarket, Wei Xiu Yuan from Experimental Class 1 is standing by the fruit basket, selling fruits for his father.
Lin Zida asks, "I'm a student; can you give it to me?"
Wei Xiu Yuan knows he's joking, so he picks up a bright red apple and places it in a gift box, saying, "Here you go."
Xue Yuantong seizes the opportunity to check the apple price and is secretly startled; they actually sell for 6 yuan each.
She quietly says to Jiang Ning, "It's 1 yuan more expensive than last year!"
Jiang Ning replies, "You remember quite clearly?"
