In the West, the climax of Christmas Eve is the events held by the Christian Church on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve Mass is generally divided into two times, one at 9~10 p.m. for the congregation; The other is the Great Mass at midnight, which is the true celebration of Christmas Eve.

At midnight the church began to welcome the Holy Child, and the whole Mass ended at about two o'clock in the morning, and they were now rushing to the church, just in time.

Although Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't believe in God, it doesn't prevent him from feeling the real Christmas Eve atmosphere, of course, the most important point is to go to see the sea of lights or something, not to mention the number of people, and all of them are couples, the three of them will inevitably be embarrassed, so Cheng Xiaoyu chose to go to St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo with Su Yuxi and Pei Yanchen.

Cheng Xiaoyu called a taxi with a ride-hailing software, and when Pei Yanchen changed his clothes, the three of them went downstairs together. (BGM: "Snow 遮駅~One more time, One more chance》~from『秒速5センチメートル』Soundtrack)

The taxi goes against the flow of traffic, and the contrast between the two sides of the road is obvious, with one side bright and endless, and the other side is dark and empty.

Because the road is very smooth, the rental quickly arrived at St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo, which is located at the entrance of Bunkyo Ward, and although the location is a bit remote, there are still many congregants gathered on Christmas Eve.

When Cheng Xiaoyu got out of the taxi, he saw St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo from a distance, which should be the most alternative and sci-fi church in the world, the top of St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo from the air is a huge cross, and this cross is a huge dam like eight gray walls on the front, the only opening of the church is a vertical large crack, sci-fi like an unidentified flying machine.

Compared with the dazzling and complex structure of European churches, St. Mary's swallows people up with a simple and magnificent temperament, which is completely another kind of beauty that makes people shudder, if those beautiful churches in Europe are the abode of God in the world, then St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo at this moment is like a violent organ like the Inquisition - solemn, solemn, not angry but mighty.

Sometimes I have to admire the imagination of neon people about architecture,

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, the church is solemn and elegant, there are no green plants in the empty square, only a towering Christmas tree with colorful lights, and the golden cross on the tip of the tree is the most dazzling.

Cheng Xiaoyu also responded to Merry Christmas, and was sandwiched between Pei Yanchen and Su Yuxi and walked towards the church, which was both a happy and painful thing.

There was a tacit silence between the three people, in the taxi, Cheng Xiaoyu once tried to find a topic, but found that it was completely futile, so he gave up the struggle and let the wordlessness ferment into silence between the three people.

The square is very large, it seems that the congregation is very sparse, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the cross on the top of the Christmas tree, and couldn't guess the mood of the two lovely people around him at the moment, but felt that coming to the church seemed to be a bad decision, maybe sitting on the balcony like last time, eating skewers, and drinking beer was the right choice.

He didn't dare to look at anyone, so he could only drink white gas meaninglessly, rub his hands and say, "It seems to be colder today than usual....."

Su Yuxi and Pei Yanchen both glanced at him, but neither agreed, after a long time, as if they were afraid that his dialogue would become a monologue, Su Yuxi said: "Your feeling is very accurate, the weather forecast says that there is a cold wave, and the central city of Tokyo may usher in the first snow tonight..."

Hearing the snow, Cheng Xiaoyu's tone raised slightly, and he said with a little surprise: "Will it snow?" ”

Su Yuxi said: "It may be snowing, or it may be raining...."

Pei Yanchen looked up at the sky, the sky was chaotic black, and she said softly, "We don't seem to have umbrellas." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu immediately changed his tone, as if he didn't have much expectation for snow, and said: "The weather forecast is always inaccurate. ”

Su Yuxi said lightly: "I can't say inaccurately, I can only say that it can't be accurate in a large range." Weather forecasting is a typical butterfly effect, in fact, short-term weather forecasts are relatively accurate, but long-term inaccurate, which is due to chaotic phenomena, such as the Lorentz equation, a weather prediction model, in which the nonlinear term leads to sensitivity and chaos to the initial value. A small disturbance in the initial value can lead to a large change later, so the long-term weather forecast is not accurate, but from the image, the short-term is still relatively accurate. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was immediately slapped in the face by Su Yuxi, and he didn't feel embarrassed, but said gently and dotingly: "I've seen it for a long time, I always thought that the weather forecast was inaccurate, and it was the pot of the meteorological station!" My little guy is really a jack of all trades, it's even better than a search engine. ”

Su Yuxi took a steady step, turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoyu, and said for a long time: "In order to be able to chat with you and communicate with you in depth, you must know everything." ”

This sentence is very plain, but it contains a deep affection that is not bland at all, Cheng Xiaoyu seems to have heard Su Yuxi standing at the end of this sentence, and gently narrated in his ear: All my homework is done for you, if it weren't for you, I'm not like this, you are very important to me, but my efforts, the ruggedness I have passed, you don't have to know.

Cheng Xiaoyu said in his heart: If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this, would our encounter be each other's luck or each other's misfortune?

Cheng Xiaoyu had no answer.

He glanced back at Su Yuxi and smiled: "Compared with you, I'm just a mediocre person who knows a little bit about everything and is not proficient in anything, I mostly read books to satisfy my curiosity, such as what to eat, I like to taste it, but I won't go to understand it in depth, such as some movies, I only care about the plot, as for the background of the times or something, I won't deliberately read it.... In general, I am nothing more than a viewer of knowledge and life. ”

After a pause, Cheng Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Actually, my success is just a fluke.... No, it shouldn't be a fluke, but it should be a fluke girl's luck, Xiaoxi is my ....."

Pei Yanchen on the side heard the dialogue between Su Yuxi and Cheng Xiaoyu, but she was a little skeptical, she knew that the relationship between the two was good, she also had a younger brother, although she was not the same father and mother, she was still an intellectually disabled person, but she would spoil him as well.... Pei Yanchen shook his head and signaled himself not to think too much, but instead blamed himself for being jealous.

At this time, Pei Yanchen's heart was full of apologies, because of her impure thoughts, and because of the kiss she started, she felt that her unwillingness was a little too turbulent.

At this time, the three of them had already followed the sparse flow of people into the church, and suddenly a sacred atmosphere came to their faces.

The interior of the church is completely different from the traditional church, like a multilateral pyramid, surrounded by diagonal gray walls, with a vertical narrow and bright gold decorative wall in front of it, extending from the top to the corner, like a zipper of this gray space, a cross towering below the golden wall, a white altar on the steps, and a red carpet in the aisle that spreads all the way to the door.

There is no Jesus on the cross, and apparently this is a Protestant church.

Cylindrical spotlights are neatly installed on the sloping walls, and the white beams of light shine on the many people who come to worship. There were many people in the church, even the aisles were full, but they were neither crowded nor noisy, and people waited quietly for the start of Mass in a quiet atmosphere.

The three waited silently in the crowd.

When the choir sounded, the whole space entered a strange state, as if a heavy door was closed, all the noisy, tangled, and sad emotions were all blocked out of the door, on this side of the door, in the depths of the heart, only this ethereal, pure and melodious song echoed, the sound seemed to fall from a high dome, penetrating the soul, soothing the tired soul in the glitzy world.

When the singing stopped, the priest began the sermon in his calm but powerful voice, instructing people to be thankful to God, to forsake their sins, and to forgive others.....

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly felt that he had really chosen the wrong place, because there were some sins that he had to bear, and some forgiveness that he couldn't give.

But Cheng Xiaoyu still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the people he loved and those who loved him would be safe and happy..... If God can't do it, then He does it himself.

The three people who did not believe in Christianity did not wait for the end of the mass to leave the church, and at this time there was no one, and the square was like a vast wilderness, and when they were halfway through, the sky began to snow, as Su Yuxi said.

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped, raised his head to look at the endless darkness above his head, watched the small white dots gradually enlarge, and couldn't help but say, "It's snowing!" ”

Su Yuxi and Pei Yanchen beside him also looked up at the sky, and stretched out their white palms to catch the uncontrollable snowflakes, and said in unison: "It's snowing." ”

There is a slight difference in the sound, one flat and one rising.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the two girls beside him, and couldn't help but smile, for him, time is happy at this moment.

Although his Christmas Eve did not have the old man with a white beard climbing on the roof and burrowing into the high chimney, there was no snowman with carrots standing cutely standing under the shining lights to take pictures with people, there were no countless colorful balloons rising into the sky, in the background of brilliant fireworks, in the melodious sound of bagpipes, rising higher and higher until they disappeared, and there were no dinners, champagne, parties, sexy girls in Christmas bikini.....

But at the moment he felt very sweet, all because the two girls around him were accompanying him and looked up at the snowflakes in the sky.

This cold white shines on his ordinary and faint happiness, although they each have their own persistence and secrets, but as long as they are not too demanding, they can always find a reason to make them smile.
