53 Christmas Eve
Despite being warmer in the south, the weather inevitably cools down by December.
From beginning to end, I haven't been able to figure out what kind of relationship with Huang Xin is, I think we are not just classmates, after all, the intimacy between the two has long exceeded the level of friendship between classmates, but it seems that it is a little bit worse than lovers.
After all, this is not the way to go in the long run, after hesitation, I still made up my mind, I must ask Huang Xin for an understanding.
After self-study in the evening, walking on the path back to the dormitory, the biting cold wind blew in my face. Seeing that the wind showed no signs of abating, Huang Xin involuntarily shrank back to me. Stepping on the blurred shadow under the dim street lamp, I couldn't help but glance at Huang Xin beside me, but I couldn't open my mouth.
I think what I'm worried about is not Huang Xin's refusal, but her promise.
All along, there always seems to be a voice in my heart reminding me: "Idiot, don't be stupid! Your good impression of Huang Xin is at best because you miss Lele! All you like is her very Lele-like back, that's all!"
I couldn't say what I said, but as soon as I returned to the dormitory, I regretted it. I turned my heart aside, then took out my mobile phone and dialed Huang Xin's number. On the phone, I forced Huang Xin to make a choice, either agree to be my girlfriend, or the relationship between the two ended.
This is an extremely immature practice, and I have prepared for the worst. However, the ending was unexpected, Huang Xin, who had been vague about me for several months, agreed without hesitation this time. In the face of a sudden love, I was not prepared at all.
Maybe it was because of the ambiguity for too long, the next day in class, in front of Huang Xin, I didn't show too much excitement, and the two of them were still the same as usual, and there was no further intimate behavior.
It suddenly occurred to me that a scientist had done a survey and that women were usually more impulsive at night, but during the day they would become more realistic. As a result, I believe more and more that Huang Xin was probably just impulsive last night, and now that she is back in reality, she has begun to regret it again, but the words have been spoken, and she can't go back.
This strange relationship has always been entangled in my heart, and it is hard to believe that two people who do not love each other have come together so inexplicably. But I still comforted myself very much that feelings need to be cultivated slowly.
It's Christmas Eve in a few days, and I don't know if it's a foreign admiration, but it seems that young people nowadays pay much more attention to Western festivals than to traditional Chinese festivals. To put it bluntly, Chinese Christmas is to draw an atmosphere, and more importantly, to find a reason to play.
It's not Christmas yet, and people can't wait, as the streets are filled with festive lights, Santa Claus is plastered on the glass windows of shops, and snowflakes are surrounded by Christmas. Not to be outdone, major department stores have erected tall Christmas trees in front of their doors and hung all kinds of decorations on them.
This Christmas Eve, it's a rare weekend, and if you don't arrange it well, you'll be so sorry for yourself. When I told Huang Xin about the idea of going to the city for Christmas Eve, Huang Xin agreed without even thinking about it.
On Christmas Eve, just after class ended, the student street was crowded with students, most of whom were couples, ready to take a bus to the city. It's not surprising, if you don't have a girlfriend, what man will be idle and wander around at such a sensitive time, and then look at the lovers and lovers all over the street, and feel the loneliness and loneliness of a person?
After all, Christmas Eve is just for lovers.
The 10-minute buses to the city were packed to the brim, and we managed to squeeze into a slightly wider bus, but there were still no seats. I had no choice but to settle and stand all the way to the city.
It was already getting a little dark, and after getting off the bus, we decided to have dinner first. Since today is a Western holiday, I naturally have to eat Western things for dinner, McDonald's and KFC have too many people, and there is no atmosphere, so I decided to go to High Roller to eat steak.
Unexpectedly, the people in the high rollers were not much less than McDonald's and KFC, thanks to the early arrival, not long after we sat down on the front foot, there was a long queue in front of the waiting area at the door. I have to admire the patience of these people, for a dinner, to be able to wait in line for such a long time, if it were me, maybe it would have been a long time ago.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the steak was finally served, but what surprised me was that Huang Xin just stared at the steak in front of him in a daze, but did not mean to use the knife and fork.
"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's the first time I've eaten steak...... Huang Xin showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"That'...... Then I'll help you. I immediately picked up the knife and fork and stretched it out in front of Huang Xin, and in a short time the whole piece of beef in the iron plate was chopped into minced pieces by me.
Coming out of the high rollers, we decided to go straight to the church. There are a variety of lights on the roadside, and it is full of calm and peaceful festive atmosphere. Walking on the bustling street, full of people, ten minutes away, we stopped and stopped, and it took us a full thirty minutes to reach the door of the church.
From afar, I saw the high spire of the church and the crowd surging around, and there were many people on the street, but I didn't expect there to be more people in the church. When we walked into the church, Mass was being celebrated, but how did I hear it feel like an ideological and political class in school, or maybe it was because I was not a Christian, so I didn't know what to do......
As the clock struck 12 o'clock, the atmosphere in the church reached its fullest, Huang Xin and I said Merry Christmas to each other, and then listened to a Christmas song, and then reluctantly left the church.
It was already the second half of the night, and there were noticeably fewer people on the street than when they came. Huang Xin said she was hungry, so we walked into a KFC on the side of the road and ordered a packet of fries and two cups of Xiaoke.
"Merry Christmas for you!" After supper, I took out the gift I had prepared earlier from my bag and handed it to Huang Xin.
"Thank you!" Huang Xin happily accepted the gift, and then carefully opened the wrapper, which contained a small bottle of perfume.
"I'm sorry, sir, we're closing here. Just then, a waiter came up to me and said apologetically.
Isn't KFC open 24 hours a day? It seems that I still can't keep up with the times! In desperation, we had to leave KFC.
At this time, there was no one on the street at all, and the two of them were walking on the empty road, and Huang Xin happily sprayed perfume into the sky. Bathed in the rain of perfumes, I couldn't help but think of the plot depicted by the ruffian Cai in "The First Close Contact", and perhaps I thought of this scene when I was buying perfume.
Romantic, yes, it's some, it's just that people are wrong.
