Chapter 155: Sad Christmas, Volley
Ding zero, Ding zero, the sound of the alarm clock sounded, and Zhang Zhou, who was sleeping on his side, subconsciously held it in the palm of his hand with his fingers resting on the brown notebook. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he frowned slightly in his sleep, and his staggered legs were unconsciously bent, curled up like a baby.
The sound of the alarm clock continued, not abating. In the midst of such a voice, he shook his head gently in a disturbed confusion, as if suddenly thinking of something, and his closed eyes opened in an instant, and at the same time, the sleepiness that filled his face disappeared in an instant.
He lifted the quilt, sat up straight, and turned his head to look at the sofa that belonged to Li Ai, but he didn't see her. He blinked, turned his eyes and searched around, finally staring at the room where the light peeked through the crack in the door.
"Is it there?" He muttered in a low voice, lowered his eyes and glanced at the small notebook he was holding in his hand, and his face was suddenly filled with a happy smile. "Date......" he muttered in a low voice, got up and left the couch, took the best set he had chosen from his clothes yesterday from under his pillow, and turned and went into another room......
When he came out after changing his clothes, the door to the room where Li Ai was still closed. He shook his head slightly, turned around and walked into the bathroom to wash up. And when he turned around and walked into the bathroom, Li Ai in the room finally put down the scarf, and then lowered his eyes, and gradually faded off the pajamas that looked a little thin on his body, revealing the white, flawless and warm skin under it.
Dirty clothes, autumn clothes, wool sweaters, down jackets, stockings, trousers, brown boots, after putting them all on, she picked up the scarf again, carefully wrapped it around her neck, and then wrapped her hands around it, pulling out the hair bound by the scarf.
She stood in front of a human-tall mirror, silently staring at the beautiful figure in the mirror. When the two pairs of eyes inside and outside the mirror stared at each other, she clearly read the meaning of apprehension. She tried hard to smile, but no matter how hard she tried, the smile she showed seemed so forced. In the end, she simply raised her palm and tugged at the corners of her mouth hard, and after a few times, she finally showed a somewhat fake, but full of happy smile.
She restrained her smile, raised her hand to hold down the scarf that wrapped around her neck and brought her warmth and security, took a deep breath, resolutely turned around, opened the door and walked out. When she turned to close the door, her gaze remained fixed on the mirror in the crack of the door. Staring at her in the mirror, which was gradually blocked by shadows.
When the door is fully closed, the view is completely cut off. Li Ai let out a long sigh of relief with the click of locking, and all the anxiety in her eyes was replaced by calmness like water, as if she had locked her cowardice in the empty room along with the reflection in the mirror......
The air on a winter morning is always cold, even when Christmas is destined to be intense. Walking side by side on the street where there were not many pedestrians, the taller boy lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced at the petite girl's palms hanging down from her waist, slightly frozen red.
He was silent for a moment, wandering away from his gaze, but suddenly reached out and took the small hand in the palm of his hand. The petite girl was slightly startled, and the palm he held in the palm of his hand subconsciously struggled, but it was only a small struggle. After reacting, her struggle disappeared instantly, and she turned her eyes sideways and blushed in acquiesce to his action of holding her hand.
"Na, Zhang Zhou," after holding hands and walking along the street that had not yet fully awakened for a long distance, Li Ai suppressed the shyness in his heart and asked casually, "According to your plan, where are we going to go first?" ”
Zhang Zhou turned his eyes and looked at her side face and smiled without saying a word. Li Ai, who was a little embarrassed by him, bit her lower lip and was about to shake off the hand he was holding her soft hand. Zhang Zhou hurriedly admitted defeat and explained in a loud voice, "Snack Street, Snack Street, let's go to Snack Street for breakfast." ”
"Snack Street?" Li Ai muttered to herself, her expression was a little dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Zhang Zhou turned his head to look at her, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, which called her attention back.
"Li Ai? What happened to you? Zhang Zhou asked with concern, but Li Ai shook his head gently, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what kind of food will be there on the snack street you said......
"Food?" Zhang Zhou frowned slightly, took Li Ai's hand, and led her to the place where he spoke, while whispering and counting the snacks in his memory. "Millet porridge, xiao long bao, soup dumplings, crystal dumplings, pumpkin pie, glutinous rice balls, mung bean cake, golden fish, small lotus root porridge, cross-bridge rice noodles, knife-cut noodles, ramen, vegetable cakes, spicy tang, grilled skewers...... Well, there's a lot of good food anyway. ”
"How? Is there anything you'd like to eat from the things I just listed? In the end, Zhang Zhou suddenly asked, but the person behind him didn't speak, just silently lowered his head and followed behind him. Zhang Zhou sensed that something was wrong, so he stopped, put his head together, and asked her again, but halfway through the question, he saw the crystal drop that slipped from her cheek.
His heart tightened, and he let go of the hand holding her palm in a little panic, then held her face, and asked urgently, "Why are you crying?" Me, am I doing something wrong? Don't cry, tell me, I'll change it right away, okay? He spoke incoherently as he scrambled to pull a tissue from his coat pocket and carefully wipe the tears from her face.
She shook her head slightly, raised her hand and pressed the hand he had wiped her tears from, and whispered, "No, you didn't do anything wrong...... I just remembered something, a little sentimental......" She took the initiative to take his palm, then pulled him forward, and led him to the snack street in his mouth.
"When I was younger, my father took me there. I just remembered him, and I was a little sentimental. She whispered, but she didn't see the evasive look in Zhang Zhou's eyes when she heard her mention her father.
"Now, Zhang Zhou, you just asked me what I want to eat, right?" She turned her head and looked at him with a smile, but the moment she turned around, the hint of dodging in Zhang Zhou's eyes had been covered by him, leaving only a calm and gentleness.
The corners of Li Ai's mouth, who didn't notice anything, slightly hooked up a trace of vicious arc, squinted his eyes like a little devil, and whispered, "I want the small lotus root porridge on the stall at the end of the snack street, the crystal steamed dumplings from the Wang family's shop, and the mung bean cake from the Zhu family's stall." She gestured to the end of the long snack street, smiling like a fox who had stolen a chicken......
Zhang Zhou glanced at the crowd that gradually filled the entire snack street with the passage of time, sighed resignedly, turned around and walked in. Li Ai, who could only see his back, didn't see the rich guilt that suddenly welled up in the depths of his eyes when he squeezed into the crowd.
He finally remembered what he had forgotten from that day on. After dealing with the problem with the golden right eye, he already had the ability to tell her the answer she wanted. However, he has been hiding this matter because of some selfish motives...... What qualifications does he have to touch her tenderness and love? He pondered silently, and through the crowd in some confusion, he went to the end of the snack street.
And he didn't see it in the surging crowd, looking at his back, the somewhat sly smile on his face gradually stiffened as he walked away. She raised her palm and rubbed her cheek vigorously, trying to add a little joy to her smile.
What's wrong? She whispered to herself. Hasn't it been decided that before it's all over, he's going to enjoy the date plan he has tailored for himself? Haven't you already decided to remember this good time? Isn't it already decided to make this Christmas ...... It's all decided, why...... Why can't I downplay the weightlessness and forget about what will happen for a while, and enjoy the happiness of the present?
She looked at his figure in confusion, and suddenly, as if she saw him gradually walking out of his life step by step. She couldn't help but reach out, wanting to grab him, trying to keep him. However, she couldn't catch ......
She pursed her lips in pain, staring intently in the direction he had gone. And when she saw him penetrate the crowd step by step and slowly approach her, she suddenly came back to her senses from the pain, silently withdrew the palm that stretched out in the void and wanted to grab something, and silently waited for him to return to her side. Unconsciously, the pain in her heart was lessened a little.
After eating the breakfast that Zhang Zhou brought back, Li Ai seemed to have completely recovered. She raised her eyes with an expectant smile, glanced at Zhang Zhou, who was absentmindedly nibbling on the mung bean cake she stuffed to him, and asked him in a low voice, "Well, Zhang Zhou, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Zhou, who was biting the mung bean cake, hesitated, and the mung bean cake in his mouth responded in a low voice, and after a moment of silence, he swallowed the mung bean cake, looked up at Li Ai and smiled, "Well, you can look forward to the next trip." He raised his palm and rubbed her hair vigorously, and there was a little more indescribable meaning in his words, as if he was reminding of something, and seemed to be telling what he was going to do, "Enjoy my date plan for you, and don't think about anything else." ”
His last words seemed to mean something, which made Li Ai's body tremble. But after a shudder, she relaxed slightly. She suddenly figured it out, what about worrying, what about worrying, everything hasn't happened yet, everything will happen after all......
She didn't know that the meaning of Zhang Zhou's words was not aimed at her, but at himself. His eyes flickered slightly as he rubbed her hair, wondering what he was thinking.
