705: This... Is For Me?

This... Is For Me?

At the mention of Jian Ai, Xia Qinghuan couldn't help but look at her watch and then at the classroom door. "It's almost half-past seven. Why isn't she here yet?"1

Yan Tian: "There's probably a traffic jam. It was like a car exhibition outside the school just now."

Lin Yi also said, "Gao Yang isn't here either?"

"No." Xia Qinghuan shook her head.

At this moment, Guan Tao intercepted Gao Yang on his way to the classroom.

In an empty corner outside the washroom, Guan Tao lowered her head and pursed her lips nervously. Her feet subconsciously tilted inwards.

Opposite her, Gao Yang had a school bag slung over one shoulder. He looked at the nervous Guan Tao expressionlessly and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Just now, he was about to go straight to class, but Guan Tao suddenly called him to stay. Then, she brought him there. From her appearance, it was obvious that she had something to tell him.

Guan Tao felt her heart jump to her throat. She initially thought that since she often played with Gao Yang and the rest last semester and interacted more, she wouldn't have any uncomfortable reactions.

However, when she faced Gao Yang alone, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Her face was hot, and she felt as if she was lacking oxygen.

Guan Tao said nothing, but Gao Yang wasn't anxious. He just stood there and watched her quietly, waiting for her to speak.

After a while, Guan Tao took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to Gao Yang. "This… is for you."

Although she spoke, Guan Tao still lowered her head, not daring to look into Gao Yang's eyes.

Gao Yang was stunned and looked a little lost, but he still reached out to take the small box. "What is this?"

The box was not big. It was square, and there was no obvious logo on it. There was no packaging either. It felt weightless in his hand, as if the box was empty.

"Open it and take a look," Guan Tao pursed her lips. Although she looked up, her eyes could not help but avoid his.

He opened it and saw a sky-blue silk handkerchief.

He reached out and took out the silk handkerchief. It felt cold to the touch and was of high quality. Although there was no brand logo, the workmanship was very meticulous.

However…

Gao Yang was somewhat puzzled. "This is… for me?"

When Guan Tao heard this, her face turned red. She quickly shook her head and corrected him. "No… It's not for you. I'm returning it to you."

"I dirtied one of your handkerchiefs before. It's from LV. I've asked around and learned that it costs three thousand yuan. I definitely can't afford it, so I've always kept that silk handkerchief. I compared a few types of silk based on the material of that silk handkerchief. In the end, I found this silk and made a new one for you."

"This silk feels very similar to yours. I know it won't do as well as LV, but I can't afford to compensate you now. When I earn money in the future, I'll compensate you with this brand. I'll give you this now as interest."

Guan Tao's voice became softer.

The more Gao Yang listened, the deeper his frown became.

He remembered what had happened, but he had never thought of asking Guan Tao to compensate him.

"You don't have to do this. I never thought of asking you to compensate," Gao Yang said calmly.

"I know." Guan Tao raised her face and revealed a smile. She looked at Gao Yang sincerely and said, "It's your problem that you don't want me to compensate you, but I can't think that way. After all, it's not a handkerchief that costs a few yuan. It's something worth a few thousand yuan. If I don't compensate you, I'll feel bad."
