Under the endless night sky, snowflakes like cotton wool fell down, and the bright moonlight was projected on each snowflake, glowing with jade light, slowly falling, as if a wanton brush, using the night sky as a canvas, painting majestically, all the scenery in the line of sight gradually blended into one, covering the layers of ink color little by little into white.

The starry snowflakes embody the cleanest, purest and simplest memories in the world, falling from the sky and sprinkling them. Before I knew it, the world was a different kind of thing, the way I remembered it was when I was a child.

The first snow, after all, still fell, in an unexpected way, at a perfect time.

Alice waited for a moment, but didn't hear Lu Li's answer, which made her more and more nervous, a second, two seconds, or longer? Was she too anxious? Should she wait a little longer? Did she ignore the time, and she subconsciously had an illusion? So, should she be quiet?

The Chicago Tribune, or the Austin Chronicle, is not a choice, but a confession. A woman's confession to a man. Alice gambled all her courage and chose the day of Christmas, the day she received a job offer, to show her heart. As long as Lu Li nodded, she rushed away, desperately, moths to the fire.

Alice swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calming her mood like thousands of butterflies flapping their wings at the same time, and asked out loud, "What do you think?" but the surging emotions were still uncontrollable, anticipation, nervousness, excitement, worry, panic, all suppressed behind the slender voice.

Involuntarily, Alice clenched her hands, only to find that her palms were already wet, and the phone was almost unstable.

Lu Li quietly looked at the snowflakes swirling and fluttering in the sky, who would have thought that the first snow would come on Christmas Eve? It seemed that the singing of Christmas Eve could be heard in his ears, quiet and peaceful, so that all the impetuousness and uneasiness had precipitated, but a faint sadness and bitterness were overflowing.

Although Alice's words were simple, how could Lu Li not hear the deep meaning in them, but ...... Unfortunately, he couldn't respond, because he already had another person in his heart. Maybe he was thinking too much about himself, maybe Alice was really asking about career choices, maybe it was his self-inflicted passion, but no matter what, he owed Alice an answer.

Tick, tick, tick. The sound of the second hand moving gently beat in her ears, one second, two seconds, three seconds, every second seemed like a century for Alice, long and difficult, and then she finally heard Lu Li's voice, relaxed and lively, as if she could smell the sun, "I personally feel that the 'Chicago Tribune' is a better job opportunity." ”

Chicago Tribune.

The mood of anticipation slowly sank, and then sank, and in an instant it became cold, and the smile on the corner of Alice's mouth was almost unmaintainable, she tried to outline the corners of her mouth and tease easily, but before she could speak, tears slipped down, "Oh, thank you for your opinion, I think so too." ”

Her voice trembled slightly, pretending to be strong and straightening her spine, and Alice frantically wiped the tears from her cheeks, trying to squeeze out a smile and try to hide her embarrassment. He couldn't see it, could he? They were just standing on opposite ends of the phone, their voices being the only expressions, and if she covered it up well enough, he wouldn't be able to detect it, and they would still be friends.

Alice laughed brightly, the curvature of her mouth bloomed widely, even though the tears continued to slide uncontrollably, but her voice was full of joy, "It seems that I am going to leave you behind, you must come on! My family is shouting at me, I must join them." Finally, Merry Christmas. ”

There was an extremely hurried voice on the phone, Alice's cheerful and abnormal voice was abruptly cut off, leaving only a series of busy tones, muttering that before Lu Li could speak, the other end of the phone became quiet, and the scorching temperature slowly dissipated into the air, and finally only a piece of cold remained.

Lu Li whispered into the microphone, "Merry Christmas." Then, he took his phone off. Looking up, the dark night sky was filled with snowflakes, and the first snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the whole world was changing into a completely different shape to the naked eye, as if in the depths of the forest, there was a magician standing and performing magic.

The world fell silent.

"The first snow is coming. The swing shook suddenly, breaking the silence around him, and he could clearly feel the weight of the fall, and he turned his head to see Lawrence seated.

Lu Li only noticed a trace of coldness at this time, the stiffness from his toes began to numb slightly, his chest seemed to be wrapped around a ball of aquatic plants, slightly stuffy, he couldn't spit it out, but he couldn't swallow it, he let out a long breath, and finally looked straight ahead, looked away, pulled the corners of his mouth, and sighed heavily, "Yes, it's finally here." Now, I finally don't have to worry about it. The weather will start to warm up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

The snowflakes grew bigger and bigger, and gradually began to flutter all over the sky, and the graceful scenery became more and more spectacular, so that all sounds disappeared involuntarily, and I gave up talking, just gently rocking the swing, quietly listening to the sound of the snowflakes falling, and fluttering and spinning like a fairy tale scene.

"Is it time for dessert?" In the end, Lu Li broke the silence and asked Lawrence why he came out, preparing to return to the house.

Lawrence shrugged, "Don't worry, they left one for you, and you can go in at any time." ”

Lu Li chuckled, "I can indeed use some desserts now. "The first snow is sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes romantic, sometimes regretful. The same view, but with different meanings.

That being said, the movement of standing up was not coherent, and for some reason, perhaps because he had been sitting here for too long, and the temperature outside was so cold that his muscles began to stiffen. So, he thought, let's just sit down a little longer. Enjoying the snow is always a beautiful thing.

"I'm getting engaged next month. Lawrence said without warning.

Lu Li's thoughts paused for a moment, then faded like a tide, returned to the real world, reacted, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose greatly, turned his head to look at Lawrence, and sincerely expressed his blessings, "Congratulations!" So, this time Lawrence came back to tell Lily and Ronald the good news? Can this Christmas be even better?

In the midst of the first snow, the atmosphere of Christmas Eve became strong again.

"Thank you. Lawrence smiled and nodded, "The next time I have the opportunity to come to New York, I can introduce you to my fiancé Josh." ”

Lu Li nodded and was about to accept, but when he opened his mouth, the words stayed on the tip of his tongue, and his expression couldn't help but stop, and his brain needed to process the information he had just gotten.

Lawrence saw Lu Li's expression, smiled dumbly, and his eyes flashed slightly, "Yes, you heard it right. My fiancé, Josh. ”

Lu Li gradually came back to his senses, thought about it carefully, and then chuckled, the more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, so his smile completely bloomed, and finally nodded, "Of course, my honor." I would love to get to know Josh. ”

Lawrence seriously looked at the look between Lu Li's eyebrows, and made sure that Lu Li was not mocking or hinting, and the smile in his eyes appeared. He knew that Lu Li would definitely not make a fuss. "The original plan was that I would come back with Josh, but I still hadn't figured out how to speak, so I chose to come back alone. Josh and I had a fight because of this, and we didn't talk for two days. ”

The amount of information was a bit large, and Lu Li's mind turned quickly, and he quickly came to a conclusion, "Ronald doesn't know?"

"Yes and no. Lawrence's answer was somewhat ambiguous, "I mentioned Josh to him, but he didn't want to listen and just hung up." So, I guess he shouldn't know. But, 'yes', yes, I came out of the closet to him, and I was kicked out of the house, and I came back four years ago and broke up. ”

The amount of information is still a bit high, and it seems that everything about the McCartney family has a reasonable explanation, and he and Cole really shouldn't be guessing. Every seemingly strange result must have a reasonable reason, and not knowing it does not mean that it does not exist.

Suddenly, Lu Li thought of another thing, "That Joel ......"

"Huh. Lawrence burst into laughter directly, looked at Lu Li carefully, and tried to hold back, but he couldn't help but laugh again, "No, Joel isn't. After thinking about it, the smile went up again, "Joel is just ......" The words paused here, "Joel is just, too impulsive, too stubborn. Back then, in order to support me, he quarreled with my dad fiercely, and my dad even broke a firewood stick. After that, he also left home. ”

Lu Li didn't hide his stunnedness, and he couldn't hide it either. Joel, the Joel who keeps complaining about Lawrence, the Joel who is lazy to avoid work?

"Yes. Lawrence smiled dumbly, "You may not believe it, but it's the way it is." He ......, "He's a good older brother. The words that followed paused on the tip of his tongue, and in the flying snowflakes, his thoughts returned to that distant era, and his voice suddenly froze, and his nose couldn't help but be slightly sour.

"Huh. Lawrence disguised his embarrassment with a chuckle, regained his composure, and said without a word, "Yes." After that, he didn't know what he was talking about. Such a situation is not common for him.

"And what about today?" Lu Li took the initiative to take over the topic, but after he said it, he realized that he had committed the same old mistake as a reporter again. He just realized that he can't judge others at will, and don't meddle in other people's family affairs at will.

So, Lu Li raised his hands to express his surrender, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, "Professional habits." ”
