Chapter 070: Christmas Eve's Invitation (Six Watches on the Shelf)
"Good. Xu Shuang thought about it for a while, she went to see Chen Chi, and she didn't want to go shopping on the street over there, it didn't matter if the street was lively or not. It's nothing to be cold, she can let Chen Chi take her and enjoy the building well.
Then go early.
Xu Shuang changed his plan, and the preparations that were originally unhurried were immediately stepped up. Chen Chi asked her to go home, but she turned to the supermarket halfway through. After carefully looking around the shelves of the whole venue for three or four times, Xu Shuangchuan still couldn't get better inspiration, and finally had no choice but to give up and bought another bag of coffee for Chen Chi as a gift. And, it's exactly the same as the previous bag.
Sometimes, even she feels that she has no idea when it comes to gift-giving, but she doesn't have a good idea. Of course, she was sure that Chen Chi would not care about these.
At night, the sky was still covered with light snow, dotted with stars, flying like dust under the illumination of the street lamps. Xu Shuangchuan stared intently at the road ahead, although it was cold, and the ten fingers in the woolen gloves were cold and cold, she didn't care.
She blinked her eyes twice as hard as she could, trying to stop the annoying little snowflakes from falling onto her eyelashes and blocking her vision, happily calculating what she had to do before she left.
She was now in a mood like going back to before the spring outing in elementary school, she was already sitting and fidgeting a few days in advance, repeatedly revising the list of supplementary items, and looking forward to the upcoming important day, so that every second seemed to be extremely solid and full, and she needed to pass slowly.
Chen Chi asked her to go over on Christmas Eve, and he said that the locals would gather with their families for dinner on Christmas Eve, and the two of them would eat a Christmas Eve dinner together according to the local custom when they were outside.
Xu Shuangchuan agreed again.
For her, it was not too inconvenient to go a day earlier and on Christmas Day, not to mention, she also wanted to meet Chen Chi earlier.
On the morning of the 24th, Xu Shuang went to two or three libraries to return all the books she had borrowed that were about to expire, so as not to be fined for expiration.
In the afternoon, she counted the clothes and documents that had been sorted out again, and happily put on her backpack and set off.
The weather was nice and the sun was shining, but the snow was starting to melt. When I go out in the morning, the snow on the side of the road is stained with mottled earthy yellow, and it is relatively hard.
From time to time, the snow on the trees popped and fell abruptly on the ground, and the small snow droplets splashed away, and under the refraction of the sunlight, a little water flashed, and after a while, the powdery snow dissipated in the field of vision.
There are some tall branches, knotted with crystal clear ice cubes, and the drooping spikes condense a water droplet, which grows larger and larger under the action of gravity, and finally rushes to the ground with a cheer.
Xu Shuangchuan was hit on the forehead by such a droplet, and before she could raise her hand to wipe it, the drop of ice water had quickly flowed to the center of her eyebrows.
"A few more drops, and you can wash your face for free. She chuckled.
Halfway through, a white flower flashed in front of her eyes, a puff of snow fell from above without warning, and Xu Shuangxia almost subconsciously turned the bicycle to the side. Her evasion action was too fast, the front wheel of the car rubbed against the snow on the side of the road, slid twice, and finally couldn't support it, and even the car and people fell down.
At this time, most of the people had already returned home, Xu Shuangchuan stood up while inhaling, and was glad that there were no other vehicles on the road, otherwise they would have crashed into each other and caused trouble for no reason. The right side of her body was in pain, her shoulder was better, and her hip bone landed on the ground first when she fell down, and the pain was a little hot at first.
However, Xu Shuangxia has experience, this kind of small fall is not tight, at most bruises, winter clothes are thick, maybe there will not even be bruises, don't care about it, and you will be fine after a while.
She was worried that her coat and pants were all stained with snow. The meltwater from the snow on the ground was very dirty, and she was wearing a light brown tweed coat, with a large wet stain on the waist of the sleeves, which was probably enough to choke when it dried.
Xu Shuangchuan helped up the car, endured the pain and pushed a few steps, fortunately the car was still good.
The plan had to be adjusted on the fly, and she turned around and went back to the apartment.
Xu Shuangchuan hurriedly wiped his dirty coat with a wet towel, and borrowed the hair dryer next door to dry it. Now, she didn't dare to ride anymore and switched to a bus.
Once people are not going well, sometimes they will go one after another, and before she reached the stop, she saw the bus coming. It's a pity that her waist and legs are still inflexible, and the pain is fresh, and she can't take a big step to chase after her, so she can only watch the bus drive away.
Xu Shuangchuan was anxious, waited at the station for two minutes, simply didn't wait, and walked to the train station by himself.
There was melting snow on the road, and there were small injuries on her body, Xu Shuangxia didn't walk quickly, and she thought strangely in her heart: "This is the third time." ”
She went to see Chen Chi, and every time she had to go out of trouble. The first time it was a thief, the second time the train workers went on strike, but it didn't happen, and the third time today, she fell. However, after such an analysis, she was happy again, and secretly thought that the third tribulation was over, and there was no loss, except for a dirty coat hanging in the house, and it would take effort to clean it carefully after returning.
She was delayed back and forth, and it was in vain in half an afternoon.
On the waiting platform, there were only a few people. The sunset was long gone, and the sky quickly darkened, and in a moment it was completely dark.
Xu Shuangchuan had already informed Chen Chi that she was going to be late, but at this time, looking at the sky, she made another call: "Chen Chi, I'm still waiting for the train, you can have dinner first." ”
"I'll wait for you. Chen Chi said without hesitation.
Xu Shuangchuan suddenly gave birth to a very stable feeling. The night was very cold, she held her backpack to her chest, paced back and forth on the platform, but her heart was very steady, someone would pick her up when she got off the train, and there would be hot meals to eat.
During the journey, Xu Shuangchuan kept looking outside the train. The lights in the carriage are not very bright, pale blue and white, sparsely populated, and scattered around. In the first few rows of Xu Shuangluo, there were five or six men and women who looked like students, with excited smiles on their faces, chatting happily, looking like they were going out on a trip during the Christmas holidays.
Xu Shuangchuan sat alone, and there was no one in the front and back, left and back. Her eyes pierced through the darkness outside the window, but she couldn't see anything except the rumbling of trains.
She suddenly realized that she should look lonely when she was alone in the dark, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of it. Even though the train takes her to a place she is not familiar with, she has no fear, even full of anticipation.
The train creaked into the station, and under the gorgeous and huge dome, on the empty platform, stood a tall figure, which was Chen Chi. (To be continued.) )
