December【3】
After sending the sample and introduction of the manuscript to several familiar publishing houses, Li Xiaoran finally let go of a big stone in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She slept soundly that night, but when the morning dawned and the clock pointed to around a quarter past eight, she woke up naturally.
Opening the window and taking in the photos of fresh white roses and roses outside the window, she immediately noticed a small difference today.
There is a line of messages recorded at the back of the photo -
I'll be waiting for you here at nine o'clock on Christmas Eve, December 24th.
She sighed, closed the window, inserted the roses into the vase as usual, placed the photos in the locket, and began to prepare for the day.
I have never looked forward to a Western festival so much, and the red crosses on the calendar are one after another, until I can count the days of Qin Hai's return with my fingers......
On the evening of the day before Christmas Eve, a number belonging to the Chinese region finally called Yu Wei's mobile phone.
"I'm back." Also across the phone, this time Qin Hai's voice felt so close.
Yu Wei smiled heartily on the other end of the phone and responded happily: "Welcome back!" ”
Late that night, the two of them were on the phone until late, mostly talking about work and travel, and agreed to go to the theater together the next day to watch the recently released "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". At the moment when he was about to end the conversation, Qin Hai indifferently asked, "Yu Wei, why don't we try it?" ”
"Try? ......" Yu Wei didn't react for a while.
"I mean, let's try to date and be my girlfriend, okay?" Qin Hai expanded the sentence and said what he meant directly and naturally.
She couldn't hide her laughter and replied cheerfully, "Okay." ”
Early in the morning of December 24, the two little girls exchanged phone calls, and Li Xiaoran naturally knew that Yu Wei was going to meet an important person today, so it was inconvenient to disturb in the evening. So, after thinking about it for a long time, she chose Carrefour's big purchase and personally cooked to arrange an extraordinarily rich exclusive dinner, not only kelp chicken soup, grandma's braised pork, chopped pepper black fish, baby cabbage in soup and steamed eggplant, but also a bottle of red wine in special case.
While watching the variety show on Mango Channel and eating delicious food, Li Xiaoran reminded herself over and over again not to pay too much attention to the clock on the wall, but time passed under her nose, and nine o'clock may be just around the corner.
8:40, 8:41, 8:42...... 8:59, 9:......
The world was silent, nothing happened.
Did he break his appointment?
Li Xiaoran felt disappointed and full of thoughts for some reason, and unconsciously stood up and walked to the window.
When she opened the curtain and looked out—
Outside the window were clusters of white roses, perhaps nine hundred and ninety-nine, perhaps more.
She looked at the cluster of roses in front of her in a daze, and the man holding the flowers was standing there crampedly, not knowing how to react for a while.
When the four eyes met, Luo Qingling looked nervous and stammered-
Xiao Ran ...... Merry Christmas ......"
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Qin Hai and Yu Wei went to meet two friends together, and the four of them talked happily until half past seven in the evening. Subsequently, the two people who agreed to watch a good movie hurried to and from the Yonghua Cinema in Grand Gateway Plaza.
The popularity of the theater during the festival is really hot, or on the special day of Christmas Eve, the consumption enthusiasm of the masses is already high, Yu Wei and Qin Hai waited in a long line to buy tickets for 9 o'clock in the evening, and it is still a very old movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". Looking at the time on the phone, it was already 8:40, and the hungry two people didn't have much time to eat, so they bought two buckets of popcorn and two bottles of black tea, which was a temporary hunger fill.
Soon after the movie opened, as soon as the actor Ge You finished reading the entire marriage advertisement, Yu Wei laughed-
"The age is not small, and those who go out as international students have developed survival skills in the middle of the day, and they are 'three no fake turtles'...... PERSONALITY OPEN, CHARACTER IS OPEN, NOT HONEST, BUT NATURALLY TIMID...... Eh, isn't that talking about you? Qin Hai. ”
"Say me? I'm not a 'three-no pseudo-turtle', but the paragraph of 'OPEN personality, character is open, not honest' is quite similar. Qin Hai leaned his face over as he spoke......
By the time she reacted, the man's face was already in front of hers—the tip of his nose was against hers......
For a while, all the cells and tissues were solidified, and Yu Wei's whole person was completely stiff; She stared at her big eyes, and she couldn't make a single sound.
At this time, Qin Hai's hand was on Yu Wei's arm, and he immediately felt her completely petrified state.
He stopped and muttered to himself, "Isn't it too fast?" Immediately, he moved away and continued to watch the movie as if nothing had happened.
When he turned around, Yu Wei lowered his shoulders and exhaled. She was annoyed, thinking to herself that she was still like a little girl at her age, and that she should behave more steadily and casually...... In all kinds of cranky thoughts, this movie passed in such a blur.
It was nearly midnight when they walked out of the theater, and the two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they were walking down the street to intercept taxis, while discussing whether they should go for some supper.
During the chat, Yu Wei suddenly remembered that Qin Hai had mentioned that the mobile phone fell into the water before, so she curiously reintroduced this paragraph: "The mobile phone that fell into the water last time you came back...... Was it really thrown away by your ex-girlfriend for calling me? She asked.
"yes, I told you that the phone was thrown into the pool by my ex-girlfriend because I kept trying to call you that night." Qin Hai replied nonchalantly.
You should show guilt or regret, right? But Yu Wei couldn't hide her smile at the moment.
When a taxi pulled up in front of the two, she asked him, "Do you want to go to my house, I'll cook you noodle soup for supper." ”
Qin Hai was a little surprised, and looked at her soft face in the night light in a daze, until the taxi driver pressed the horn impatiently, he came to his senses, nodded, and took her hand and got into the taxi.
"The flowers are beautiful."
Li Xiaoran leaned down and took the large cluster of white roses in Luo Qingling's hand.
At this moment, the warm yellow light in the room was slightly drunk on her eyebrows and eyes through Xiao Ran's fine hair, as if she was smiling.
"Have you forgiven me?" He asked.
"I don't blame you." She replied.
"I've ruined your life......" his tone was a little uncertain.
"You've made me realize some facts...... And, you've been helping me all the time. Her tone was calm and natural.
Hearing her say this, Qingling plucked up more courage, "Xiao Ran, I can't give up my feelings for you. ”
"I feel it."
"But I don't want you to be with me out of gratitude."
"I'm not going to do that."
"So, I'm willing to wait until the day when you accept it with all your heart."
"Even if you have to wait, you can come into the house and wait, it's cold outside."
Qingling froze and looked at Xiao Ran's crooked eyes fixedly.
"Are you going into the house? Dinner is too much for me to eat alone, and you can just help. Xiao Ran broke the silence again.
"Well, okay...... Christmas...... Merry Christmas......" Qingling stammered in reply, a happy expression that could not be concealed.
Pieces of white rose petals blocked Li Xiaoran's smiling cheeks, and she said her blessings for tonight in a pleasant tone-
"Merry Christmas."
The noodle soup cooked by Yu Wei was quickly served. Looking at this bowl of chicken soup as the base, with noodles with chicken legs, minced meat, spinach, tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms, Qin Hai sincerely admired: "Not bad......"
"I ate this all Christmas Eve, and I think it's good, you're very good at raising it."
"This is the first time in my life that a girl has cooked something for me to eat, and I am satisfied." Qin Hai replied solemnly.
"Then you can eat it." Yu Wei said with a smile.
After that, she didn't say anything anymore, just looked at the man in front of her with rare tenderness...... A few days ago, he was on that side of the Pacific; At this moment, he was already sitting in front of his eyes and eating noodles. Such a little bit of ordinary girl's little satisfaction is enough to make her little woman's feelings bloom warmly.
After eating the noodles, wipe your mouth. Qin Hai took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes, but Yu Wei felt that it was really unnecessary, so she signaled to grab it and make it herself. The two fought and went to the kitchen, and the topic inexplicably turned to Yu Wei's new job, and finally the two discussed the detailed work content.
Qin Hai was obviously dissatisfied with the shift in topic: "You can really talk about any topic at work." Qin Hai complained helplessly.
"Otherwise, what are you talking about? We didn't know each other through work. Yu Wei ignored his protests and continued to wash her dishes.
"Okay, okay......" Qin Haiying moved his body and then leaned over.
When Yu Wei reacted, the lips of the two were already glued together.
Halfway through, Yu Wei recovered from the blur of the hot kiss and suddenly asked, "Have you been to the doctor?" Are you getting better? ”
"Alright." Qin Hai hugged her contentedly.
"What did the doctor find out?" She asked again.
"It's just cramps."
"Cramps?" Yu Wei was a little stunned, thinking about what the condition of her stomach cramps was, Qin Hai's kiss fell again.
There is no way. She closed her eyes softly and helplessly.
Seemingly...... This kind of esoteric question can only be saved for tomorrow.
