Chapter 154: Sad Christmas, Remix

The sound of the whistle mingled with the sound of running water, and after a few moments, the sound of running water died down with the crunching of metal, and the whistle changed to a low hum. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info reflected in the blurred back of the hidden glass door flickered, looking at Li Ai over there hurriedly lowered his head, lowering his reddened eyes, so as not to be seen by the people inside.

As soon as she lowered her head, the sound of the door being opened rang, and Zhang Zhou's humming voice immediately became a little louder, and slowly approached her. Li Ai raised his palm without a trace and rubbed his eyes, but he couldn't get rid of the reddened color. But his footsteps were getting closer and closer, and if he continued like this, he would surely notice that something was wrong with her when he came to her.

If he asked, how would she explain it? Tell him the truth in advance? Li Ai closed his eyes slightly, denying this idea in his heart. She didn't want to end these days too early, and she wanted to make more memories. Albeit......

Now that it's been decided that it's Christmas, you must wait until Christmas day to say everything. But what now? Do you want to lie and deceive him? Don't, it's already ...... Don't want to tell him any more lies......

Zhang Zhou's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she was about to walk in front of her, but she hadn't found a way to make him not suspicious, and just as she was biting her lip and anxious, there was a dull explosion outside the window, and more colorful lights shone on the edge of her vision.

Li Ai's heart jumped, and he immediately put down his thoughts, raised his head with a calm face, avoided Zhang Zhou's eyes with a little confusion, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window. There, there are fireworks that break and bloom, and they are beautiful.

Although she turned her head to hide something, after seeing the scenery of the fireworks blooming, she still unconsciously indulged in it. Unconsciously, she turned around and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, raised her hand and pressed it against the cold glass, looking at the fireworks that shattered in the night sky.

Looking at it, there was a little more empathetic loneliness in her eyes. The fireworks, after blooming in a splendor of beauty, quickly fell silent and disappeared into the darkness that no one could see, just like the fate she might touch? Compared with the life of nearly a hundred years, these short days are like a moment when the fireworks are broken, and the happiness in these days is like the peerless elegance before the fireworks go out, short, beautiful, and nostalgic.

If...... If tomorrow he abandons her after knowing the truth, won't everything become like this cold firework? Li Ai's gaze lowered slightly as she looked at the shattered fireworks in the sky outside the window, and fell on the streets in the night, which were decorated with colorful lanterns and looked like a dream. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Zhou, who was using a fruit knife to cut the peeled apple into small pieces, and called his name in a low voice, "Zhang Zhou,"

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou answered, raised his head and looked at her with some doubts, but the movements in his hands did not stop. "Tomorrow, shall we go on a date?" She hooked the corners of her mouth and chuckled and proposed, but there was a bit of apprehension and sadness in the depths of her narrowed eyes.

"Huh?" Zhang Zhou was stunned and looked at Li Ai in disbelief. The fruit knife that was still cutting the apple in his hand fell on his finger pressing the edge of the apple, and the pain of that moment made his face change, and he jumped up suddenly, holding down the bloody fingers and hissing for cold air. Then he hurriedly summoned the pair of black and white wings, and quickly stopped the bleeding.

Seeing that he had stopped the bleeding and wanted to come forward to help, Li Ai shook his head, put down his fingers that poked out, and stood still again. It's just that after witnessing his embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but have a little more suppressed smile on her face.

Zhang Zhou, whose fingers were restored to their original state under the action of the black and white wings, put away his grinning expression, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ai, who seemed to be a little gloating, and had a toothache. Her gaze shifted slightly, and when she landed on the transparent floor-to-ceiling window behind her, she quietly froze, and then quickly retracted the pair of black and white wings.

"Na, Zhang Zhou......" When he put away the black and white wings, Li Ai, who didn't know what he thought, stared at his eyes and suddenly said out loud. Zhang Zhou's body stiffened, but he remembered the question she asked just now, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and he opened his mouth to respond. Li Ai didn't expect him to speak suddenly, and after a pause, he said what he wanted to say. So, the words of the two people blurted out at the same time.

"Can I make the itinerary for a date?"

"Why didn't you use those wings to treat me when I had a cold the other day?"

The words spoken by the two men echoed in the empty living room, intertwined from time to time, somewhat vague. The two people who didn't expect each other to speak at this time stared at each other with wide eyes, and then turned their heads away with blushing faces. It's just that the blush on Li Ai's face is because of shyness, and the blush on Zhang Zhou's face is because of the embarrassment caused by his mistake.

The atmosphere in the living room quietly became ambiguous, and all sounds were silent, except for the occasional burst of fireworks outside the window. After a long time, Zhang Zhou, who had barely calmed down, spoke again, avoiding the question he had just raised, and answered Li Ai's question. In this way, I want to break the strange atmosphere that pervades the living room. But as he spoke, he heard her voice again.

"Okay." She said.

"Its power ......" After only four words, Zhang Zhou stopped again, turned his head a little confused, and looked at Li Ai, whose face was even more flushed after knowing what had happened. She was ready to break the atmosphere in the same way as he did, but once again, she spoke at the same time as him. In such a 'tacit' coincidence, their actions not only did not eliminate the strange atmosphere, but made it more intense.

Looking at Li Ai's side to the side, staring at the empty wall all the time, and the side face that seemed to be getting redder and redder as if he didn't want to turn back, Zhang Zhou smiled silently, then raised his hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and then continued to speak as if nothing happened, "Its power can help me get rid of the pain, and even prevent the occurrence of the disease, yes, but when it is applied to other people, it can at most treat some minor injuries." ”

"Otherwise, I would have used its power to save those who are suffering from the sick." He tried to divert the subject, slightly dispelling the strange atmosphere that filled him and her, and causing Li Ai's cheeks, which seemed to be about to turn sideways, turned back slightly, but she kept her head down, not daring to make eye contact with him.

"That's right." She responded dryly, cautiously, ten fingers quietly tangled in front of her, looking so cute, but also distressing. Looking at her like this, Zhang Zhou's heart, which was still a little overwhelmed, slowly calmed down.

"Fireworks, they're so beautiful." He looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the air outside the window, like a dream, and sighed inadvertently. Hearing his calm words with a little sigh, Li Ai's body, who lowered her head, trembled slightly, quietly raised her eyes, glanced at Zhang Zhou, and found that his eyes had already been focused on the window and did not stay on herself, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, while feeling relieved, there was a little more empty feeling in her heart. She shook her head, waved away those empty feelings, turned her eyes, and also looked at the night sky outside the window, and whispered, "Yes, it's beautiful......"

When she sighed like that, there was a gloom in her eyes that reflected the blooming fireworks. This gloom was covered by the reflection of the blooming fireworks, so Zhang Zhou, who turned his eyes slightly sideways and paid attention to her with the corner of his eye, did not notice it......

Christmas in 2016 was on a Sunday, and the weather was also very nice, which was indeed perfect for couples to date. Li Ai woke up early, sat on the edge of his own sofa, and stared at the guy who was sleeping soundly under the quilt.

Next to his pillow, a palm-sized notebook sits along. He fell asleep on his side, one palm still pressed against the notebook. Is that the date plan he made until late last night?

Li Ai looked at the brown notebook, and an indescribable strange feeling rose in his heart. There is sweetness, touching, happiness, and apprehension and faint sentimentality. So much gain and loss, so uneasy and melancholy.

In the midst of such complicated thoughts, she quietly stood up, walked to his bedside, leaned down, and was about to reach for the notebook he pressed under the palm. But when it came to touch, it stopped.

She turned her eyes and stared at Zhang Zhou, who looked a little haggard in her sleep, and all the inexplicable strange feelings in her eyes quietly disappeared, leaving only a faint gentleness. The palm that barely touched the brown notebook slowly retreated, then returned to her ear, smoothing a strand of long hair behind her ear, then slowly lowered his head and kissed his somewhat dry lips.

Why do you have to go through a plan that he hasn't put into action yet? Anyway, when the time comes, all of this will appear before your eyes, won't it? Let's make the happiness of this last day a little more perfect. Though...... It is already destined to be destroyed by itself at the last moment......

Lips are separated from lip to lip. Li Ai straightened up, silently felt the bitterness remaining on the tip of his tongue, and turned back to his room. She closed the door, turned on the light, and walked over to the bed, staring down at the clothes she had picked out the night before.

After a moment of silence, she reached out and stroked the scarf that was placed on top. It was the one that Zhang Zhou forcibly surrounded her when she had a cold a few days ago. Fingers tracing the lines of the scarf, then gently gripping it. At that moment, it seemed that endless courage poured into her body.
