Chapter 16: Christmas Eve with Du Yuan
After having breakfast with Du Yuan, I took a pair of gloves for her, the humid weather in the south does not pay attention to keeping warm, it is easy to freeze my hands, Du Yuan took the gloves and supported her chin with one hand, she stared out the window, and then turned her eyes to me.
"What I said to you last night, though I would love to get your answer now, I also know that it may have been too sudden, yes too sudden.
In just a few months, I have experienced too many things, I found out that I couldn't control my feelings about you, and when I came back, I came downstairs to your house to wait for you, the moment I saw you, do you know how happy I am, I haven't been happy in months. ”
I can only be silent about Du Yuan's words, and I can't give her a positive answer now.
"I know you're struggling, but why are you always immersed in your last relationship, even if you don't answer me now, you at least give me a while until you can forget about her. ”
I was touched deep in my heart by Du Yuan's words: Have you forgotten her? How can it be so easy, Tang Xi and I are destined to be different.
There is no other reason, his name is Tang Xi, my name is Li Da, Dali and Xitang are two places that are not close to each other, with sensual and literary synonyms, but it also seems to represent the distance between me and Tang Xi, from Dali to Xitang, we can't build a bridge, and we can't bridge this distance.
"Let's go, I'll go out with you for a day today, and on Christmas Eve in the evening, you will definitely be safe in the future, Auntie also hopes it, right?"
I don't want to continue to entangle with Du Yuan in this matter, at least until I can't give an answer, I don't want to face it.
My family started to inquire when I was a sophomore, and every Chinese New Year, those elders would always ask on the table whether I had a girlfriend and when I would bring it back to see, and I could only pass by.
I hope that the person who will go back with me is Tang Xi, I once thought about giving her a home, but these are empty after all under the polishing of reality.
I mentioned Du Yuan's mother, and in an instant her mood went down, and I realized that mentioning this in front of her brought her only sadness.
I took Du Yuan's hand downstairs and walked along the road with him, and her silence made me uncomfortable.
"Let's go to the movies, there are a few good movies recently, watch a movie in the morning, then have a meal, spend a while with you in the afternoon, and have a good Christmas Eve in the evening. ”
I don't know why Du Yuan is resistant to watching movies, she grabbed my hand and told me that she didn't want to go.
"I haven't seen a movie for months after graduation, so I haven't had time, so why don't you go to see a movie with me today? ”
Under my soft grinding and hard bubbles, Du Yuan finally agreed.
After watching the movie in the morning, Du Yuan's mood has not been very good, I took her to a pet store, and the cats and dogs in the store did not bark when they saw people, but were very intimate.
"If you like a cat or a dog, buy one and give it to you as a gift. ”
The shopkeeper heard that we were going to buy a pet and walked up to me.
"Handsome guy, these are fostered by others outside, you tell me what you want, and I'll show you. ”
A golden retriever in the cage was lying on its stomach in the cage, looking at me with pitiful eyes, which made me feel the urge to buy it for a moment. The purpose of coming today is to buy a pet for Du Yuan, and I have given up this idea for the time being.
"Let's take a look at it first. ”
The owner of the pet store took Du Yuan and me inside, and there were various breeds of cats and dogs, some of which were slightly larger, and some of them looked like they had not been born for long.
"Look, do you like it, having a pet should make you forget a lot of bad things for you. ”
Du Yuan walked to the cage of a blue cat, squatted down and buckled the blue cat's paws with his hand, as if he was interested, I saw that she liked it, so I asked the boss about the price and paid quietly.
"Boss, what time does your side usually close at night?"
"There were people until twelve o'clock in the night. ”
"Then I'll come and pick it up at night, do you think it's okay?"
Getting the answer I wanted from the boss, I patted Du Yuan on the shoulder.
"Let's go, I'll go out with you for a while, and we'll come back in the evening to fetch the cat." ”
It wasn't until he went out that Du Yuan reacted.
"You bought it?"
"Well, I didn't mean to give you a gift. ”
In the afternoon, she walked around with Du Yuan, and when she asked her what she liked, she always shook her head.
Until the evening, the night of Christmas Eve, the air was filled with the smell of happiness, and the streets were full of couples, holding hands with each other, talking and laughing.
I rested until Du Yuan's expression, since the pet store came out, she didn't seem to have any interest, and most of the snacks she bought halfway were just two bites and she didn't touch them.
"Why are you still not happy? Look at you on the street with a straight face, as if they all owe you money and don't pay it back, come and laugh a little. ”
I took out a wrapped apple from behind me and handed it to Du Yuan's hand.
"Happy Christmas Eve!"
Du Yuan took the apple, his expression finally loosened a little, the snow that fell yesterday melted during the day, and it looked cold at night, I took Du Yuan to buy two oden and gave Du Yuan one.
"Eat, I'm so cold at night, warm up, I'll send you home later." ”
Du Yuan suddenly raised his head to look at me, biting a ball in his mouth, and the funny at this time made me laugh.
She put down the string and ate a ball, and began to stare at me again, without speaking.
"What's wrong?"
"Can you not drive me away, I feel cold alone. ”
"It's not convenient for you to live with me, although living with a big beauty like you, you will be satisfied, but it's still not very convenient in the end. ”
"Then let me be your girlfriend, so that's what I should say. ”
"You are no different from forcing you to become a prostitute, you calm down, you said that you are also very beautiful, and it is not difficult to find a boyfriend, why force me to do it. ”
"Can that be the same? I made it very clear, what do you want me to do if you reject a girl like this. ”
I swallowed what was in my mouth, and there was nothing I could do in the face of Du Yuan's vexatious trouble.
Du Yuan suddenly pressed my head, and then our lips touched, and she began to kiss me, and after reacting, I took Du Yuan's hand away and raised my head slightly.
"The smell of meatballs, you don't like to eat meatballs, there's no need to tell me that this meatballs are not delicious. ”
Looking at Du Yuan's expression of imminent collapse, I made a joke, stopped her tears, and instantly made her laugh.
"Give me time, I can't forget her for a while, I'll be very uncomfortable to start a new relationship at this time, I need to take it slowly, you give me some time. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”
After that, we walked around and stopped in front of a stall, Du Yuan rummaged through the things on it, and I talked to the stall owner, just.
I accidentally looked up and saw the half moon, I don't know how she spent this Christmas Eve this year without me by her side.
