December 24 is Christmas Eve in the West, and no matter who it is, the table is always full of greeting cards and blessings.

The distant scenery will be painted with crayons of color, accompanied by heavy snow, offering the innocence of Christmas.

On the street, every corner makes people feel the atmosphere of the festival. Almost all malls have Christmas trees, some at the door and some in the lobby. The small bells hanging on the body, when touched lightly, jingle bells make beautiful sounds.

Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon, who had been playing at sea for a day, looked at these scenes on the street after returning to Ushuaia in the evening. The expressions on the faces of the two seemed to be slightly flustered, and then they looked at each other and asked.

"You forgot?"

"Is it Christmas today?"

Then when they finished listening to each other's words, they were stunned again, and finally laughed at each other.

Standing on the street, wearing warm clothes, looking at the festive joints, Kim Taeyeon suddenly asked, "It seems that we haven't had any chance to spend Christmas together in the past two years together." ”

Lin Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, because it's this time of year every year. It's the end of the year feast time over there, not to mention Christmas, and you can't squeeze in time for a meal. ”

"yes, now that I think about it, my girlfriend has failed enough. Kim Taeyeon hung her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Because she also knows very well that although there is no fairness in the world of love, she can't care about who gives more or less. But the word companionship is the only one that cannot be ignored. After all, everyone can understand the previous ones, and only companionship is the best answer. However, it is such an answer, and I can't give much of it.

Listening to Kim Taeyeon's self-deprecation, Lin Xi was also a little surprised, and then lowered his head and smiled, "You can't say that, everyone is busy." Everything else is just impermanence. ”

After saying that, it seems that he doesn't plan to continue to talk to Kim Taeyeon on this, because he is afraid that the more he talks, he will dig up the scars of the two again, and then take a look at it and make a few more cuts. So he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Taking advantage of this Christmas, let's hurry up and find a place to eat first. After eating, we also went to the street to enjoy the excitement of the Western festival here, which can be regarded as making up for our previous regrets. ”

At this time, Kim Taeyeon, who was already in a daze looking at the strangely dressed figures on the street, nodded instinctively after hearing Lin Xi's words in a trance, and agreed without any doubts about Lin Xi at all.

……

……

Ushuaia at the end of December, unlike other countries and cities, is winter. Here, the season in Antarctica happens to be summer. So when I stepped on the street, there was no snow as I imagined, but some fallen leaves that had withered from the trees.

Facing the cool night breeze, Kim Tae-yeon's long dress fluttered with it. The neon lights on the street next to him can't take away the thousands of styles that belong to this villain.

Life is like the four seasons, but here, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon are very weird to feel the mood and atmosphere of winter and summer. Summer is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the weather is full of blood. What it does must be vigorous and unscrupulous.

For example, today, in the morning, the sun is scorching, but after lunch, the rain drops are rapid, and the temper is instantaneous, and then the lightning and thunder, and finally in the evening, it is instantly calm, and even the dry streets at this time there is no trace of rain.

Compared with the unnegligible unrestrainedness in summer, Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon have seen the old snow-capped mountains in winter from some scenery here.

There are no bright colors, no birds and finches, no flowers, and no vigor of life. There was only a layer of white at the bottom, and then the pure and unclean white came to reflect the blue of the whole sky overhead, or the infinite darkness of the night.

Lim Hee and Kim Taeyeon, who were walking side by side on the street, were aimlessly looking for tonight's dinner, and they were also looking at some of the surrounding shops and scenery. Occasionally chatted a few words, but all the words I said were some interesting things I saw, and I didn't seem to plan to miss the sweetness of my memories in such a special festival.

Looking at the figure beside him, the days of walking side by side on the street with the other party are countless. But compared with herself at those times before, Kim Taeyeon's mood at this time is very sad. Even if her face was looking at this lively night very happily, she smiled and chatted with Lin Xi.

But what should be sad is still sad.

In fact, for this breakup, Kim Taeyeon never resented Lin Xi at all. On the contrary, I felt that he was doing the right thing, and I couldn't find fault with it. In the final analysis, the source is indeed in oneself. There's no doubt about it, and even Sunny and the others admit it.

Otherwise, Lin Xi would have been destroyed by them to the point that he would not be human.

However, if Lin Xi, who was walking next to him at this time, could know what Kim Taeyeon was thinking, he would definitely explain: Such a responsibility can't be calculated like this. To be fair, it's on both sides. It doesn't matter who is more or less, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. Because there is such a thing as feelings, it is impossible to explain the reasons and reasons clearly with reason and words. If you have to come up with a reason, that's all you can say.

For example, Kim Taeyeon felt that she didn't have time to accompany Lin Xi to manage this relationship and maintain the distance and sweetness between the two, so she felt that it was her fault. The source lies in herself.

But if Lin Xi was asked to think about it, he would say that he was too conceited, and he always thought that he could persevere with strong feelings and perseverance, but when this relationship came to this point, he didn't reach out to keep it, nor did he open his mouth to explain. From this point of view, how can he not have scars and struggles in his own heart.

Walking together is fate, walking together is happiness, and if you accompany together, you can have a lifetime of happiness. It was said. Fate is cultivated in the previous life, it is the persistence of looking back five hundred times in exchange for the passing of this life, and it is the unchanging waiting for thousands of years that there is a silent companionship in this life; some people say that happiness has a shape, you put it in your heart, it is the shape of the heart, you put it outside, it will be ethereal.

Lim Hee and Kim Taeyeon walked the first two steps, experiencing heartbeat, sweetness, happiness, and blandness, but they tripped over the third step. And it's not just them, in this real society, there are already countless couples like them, who have obviously gone through the sweetest and happiest days, but they went wrong at the last step, and then after a kick, they went their separate ways.

We may meet many people in our lives, and sometimes we happen to be on the same road, and we will walk together for a while. Whether the road ahead can still be walked together depends on their fate and luck.

Along the way, although the two were not silent, the directionless wandering and searching for it clearly pointed out the confusion in their hearts. In the end, Lin Xi was manly, stopped on the side of a road, and pointed to a restaurant next to him, "That's it, I feel like there are quite a lot of people to eat." Looking at the signboard and the introduction at the door, it seems to be a French meal. It's just like noon when the seafood is too crazy, so let's take a good rest in the evening. ”

"Yes, yes. Kim Taeyeon didn't refuse, nodding. For her, who is not a picky eater, French food or seafood are indifferent choices.

……

……

The name of the restaurant is very appropriate in this city, and if you change it to Chinese, it means 'food at the end'. It is a very literary name, and the decoration inside is naturally very poetic.

Overall, this restaurant is a typical French restaurant. The embellishment of the French plane tree makes the restaurant look elegant, quiet and exotic, but some of the furnishings in the corner have local characteristics, plus the beautiful lamps, warm pillows, and delicate patterns, all of which make people who come into this restaurant have a very comfortable feeling at the first time.

As soon as I walked in the door, the waiter standing next to me greeted me. In addition to welcoming the two of them, they also asked for some information. For example, whether there is a reservation, or how many people have dined, whether there is an appointment. After confirming these basic information, he walked into the restaurant with the two of them.

In fact, on tonight's Christmas Eve, Lin Xi was still a little nervous when he walked in, for fear that if there was no place at that time, it would be embarrassing. Thankfully, even though it's Christmas Eve, everyone seems to have eaten dinner and is already on the streets, frantically swaying their pent-up enthusiasm for a year. So there are a lot fewer people coming to eat, and there are still vacant seats.

Abroad, Kim Taeyeon didn't worry about being recognized, so when choosing a location, she didn't choose those quiet booths or corners. Instead, she was very generous and excited to choose a place by the floor-to-ceiling window, where she could sit and enjoy the parade of passers-by outside the street while eating.

After skillfully helping Kim Taeyeon pull out the stool and let her sit down, Lin Xi also sat quietly opposite her. followed by taking the menu from the waiter's hand, and after a brief glance, he pushed it to Kim Taeyeon opposite and motioned her to order.

And Kim Taeyeon didn't be polite to Lin Xi, nor did she ask him what he liked to eat. First of all, after ordering a few servings of what Lin Xi has always liked to eat, he simply ordered some of his favorites. Although there is a diaphragm, although they are separated, the intimate tacit familiarity between the two is not comparable to many people.

It's just that when the waiter was about to leave, Lin Xi stopped the other party. Then he looked at Kim Taeyeon with some surprise or surprise and asked, "Don't you order a bottle of red wine? ”

"I want to go out for a walk later, so I'm afraid that after drinking too much, I will get a little dizzy. Kim Taeyeon looked out the window, a little tangled.

"Then drink a bottle, not much, just enough to soothe the blood and throat. And you won't get drunk, and your current amount of alcohol, even if you drink two bottles alone, you won't get drunk. Lin Xi thought about it, and finally ordered a bottle of red wine.

Kim Taeyeon didn't deny it, "Well, it's all because of whom, I don't need to say it." ”

Regarding the rapid surge in his alcohol consumption, Kim Taeyeon doesn't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Because 2 years ago, her alcohol consumption was calculated by bottle. As a result, after getting to know Lin Xi, it was because of his love for red wine and wine that he slowly raised the amount of wine. Now when she drinks with Sunny, Choi so-young and others, she often just feels the brain, and as a result, the other side has already poured a piece.

In this dinner, the two may have a tacit understanding, or maybe it was the previous situation. So they all agreed, and didn't pull the topic to certain things. The conversation is about some interesting things in the tour, or the scenery outside the window. Anyway, to put it bluntly, that is to say, in the eyes of outsiders, the meal between the two of them was very pleasant and sweet. When you talk about me and laugh, it's no different from a couple.

And what I'm talking about here is actually the feeling in the eyes of the customers in the restaurant, or the waiters. Because, deep in the hearts of Lin Xi and the others, that happiness has never penetrated into the heart through the body.

After eating this dinner, Kim Taeyeon, who had already run to the joyful parade outside, also left the restaurant in a hurry and walked out. And Lin Xi also followed behind her quickly, protecting this little person, so as not to get some harm and friction in so many people.

It's just that at this moment, Lin Xi suddenly noticed that the laces of Kim Taeyeon's cute fluffy warm shoes had been loosened. sighed lightly, and then under Kim Taeyeon's somewhat strange, surprised, and then surprised gaze, he squatted down and helped her tie the shoelaces back of the shoes, and finally tightened them.

"Alright, be careful. I didn't even notice when the laces were loose, and when the time came, you cried after tripping and breaking your face. ”

Life is a road that you can't turn back on, and youth is also a book that you can never close after you open it. As for love, it's the bet that can't be recovered after it's thrown out.

In fact, many people have seen this, but at first glance, most of them do not understand the meaning. Until later in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a certain night, a certain time. When they are all mature, they can finally understand the meaning of these words.

I finally understood another truth:

Some of the shackles are put on by oneself, and some misfortunes are predestined.
