Chapter 92: Christmas
Doing nothing always makes people drowsy, and the warm wind blowing from the air conditioner in the room makes Shi Lei's eyes gradually heavy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a trance, it seemed that someone rang the doorbell, and for a while, Shi Lei couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality.
When this thought comes to mind, the drowsiness begins to disappear. The doorbell rang again, making Shi Lei open his eyes suddenly.
"Wait a minute."
Shouting out the door, Shi Lei quickly straightened up from the sofa, put the slippers on his feet, rubbed his somewhat hazy eyes, and opened the door of the house.
"Hello, Jenny, Merry Christmas."
It's Shi Lei's neighbor Jenny. She was wearing a heavy cotton coat, and her fair face was also stimulated to two peach-like reds on her cheeks because of the cold weather.
"Hello and Merry Christmas. I'm glad you're home, can you help me? Seeing Shi Lei's appearance, Jenny seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she took off her cotton hat from her head, freed her red hair from this uncomfortable bondage, and said with some complaints in her mouth: "What hell weather." ”
"It's an honor, what can I do for you?"
"I haven't been out for days because of the damn snow, but it's Christmas and I have to go buy something, a Christmas tree, food, presents, and wine, and Alice has been looking forward to it. But I seem to have bought too much. ”
Jenny's words made Shi Lei smile, the Christmas tree includes gifts and food, which is something that every child's parents will prepare every holiday season. But Jenny only has one sister, which makes Shi Lei's impression of his neighbor a little deeper.
"A strong, responsible, caring woman, an older sister who pampered her unfortunate sister."
"Okay, but you need to wait a minute, I have to change my clothes and shoes. Or you can come in and wait. ”
Shi Lei said this, opened the door a little more, and made an inviting gesture.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what to do if you're not home."
Jenny walked into Shi Lei's house and expressed her gratitude.
"It's nothing, wait a minute."
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders at Jenny, motioned for her to sit casually, and then walked into the bedroom.
Men generally change clothes quickly, and when there is an emergency, this time will be infinitely shortened, such as being caught raped. Well, I'm kidding.
"Let's go, or you just need to tell me where the stuff is."
"Let's go together, they're in my car, there's just too many."
Shi Lei made a casual expression and followed Jenny out of the door.
In the closed corridor, Shi Lei felt the coldness of the weather, but when he was outside, the cold really made him feel the cold to the bones.
"The winter here is really unbearable."
In Shi Lei's hometown, even the coldest "39" weather is far from being so cold.
"Yes, if it weren't for Christmas, and I hadn't purchased in advance, I wouldn't have chosen to go out."
Jenny agreed, tightening her collar.
"In the parking lot?"
Looking at the direction of walking, Shi Lei asked Jenny.
This may be very similar to the romantic interpretation of an unforgettable love in a movie. Two people, a young man and a young woman, walked side by side in a snow-covered land. But the two people in it, no one had such thoughts, they just wanted to speed up their pace so that they could return to their warm home as soon as possible.
"Yes, right there. You didn't go out today? ”
"No, the snow is so thick that I don't even think my car can drive twenty miles."
"That's it, a little bit quicker you can feel that it's going in the direction we want to go. So you prepared food for the holidays in advance? ”
"No, I was still playing last night and didn't have time at all, but you know, our holidays are different."
"Oh well, but this is in America, and today everybody is celebrating the arrival of this day, and you should let you join in on this. Or you can spend Christmas with us, but I need to get permission from Alice, who is very sensitive to strangers. ”
Shi Lei immediately shook his head when he heard this, and declined Jenny's kindness. Alice is a poor girl, and he once lamented God's injustice because of this, but Shi Lei did not have any intention of having any communication with Jenny's sister.
"No, don't bother Alice, I might go to the bar in the evening to have a drink to celebrate the day."
"Alright, here it is."
With that, Jenny pulled the car keys out of her pocket and opened the trunk.
"Oh, that's quite a lot."
The woman's desire to shop once again surprised Shi Lei, with so many and seemingly complex things, did Jenny really consider her own affordability when purchasing? Shi Lei was skeptical.
"Christmas tree", Shi Lei checked it with his hand, it was not heavy, although it looked big. Hisaku casually put it aside. I lifted heavier things first, and I didn't use my other hand until it felt heavy.
Finally, a trunk full of things was left, and in the end, only wine, gifts, and Christmas trees remained, but Shi Lei's waist was slightly bent because of the weight of the items in his hand.
"It's okay to leave the rest to you, right?"
"You can give me some more, you've got too much."
"No, no, if there is no problem let's go."
Shi Lei turned out from the back of the car, waiting for Jenny to lift the rest of the things before slowly moving his steps.
"How's it going?"
After walking for a while, seeing Shi Lei's breathing gradually becoming heavier, Jenny asked.
"It's fine. But I'm curious, why do you buy so many things? ”
This made Jenny look a little embarrassed, and she smiled embarrassedly, "I've been trying to control the number of items as much as possible. ”
"Are all women like that?"
Jenny feigned anger and said, "I'm a girl." ”
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're a girl, but you're still a pretty girl."
As time went on, the number of meetings increased, and the two became familiar with each other, and occasionally made some innocuous jokes.
"I don't know, but my mom loves shopping."
This was the first time Jenny had spoken of her mother, and the first time she had mentioned her family other than her sister.
Only the two sisters live together, and the younger sister is still sick, and some things are definitely not so wonderful.
PS: Thank you for the tip, thank you.
The heroine of many basketball essays, either a big star, or the daughter of a wealthy family, I hope to write something different, but because there is no realistic prototype that can make up the reader's brain, I have to add some twists and turns to make the characters plump, but this makes me very entangled, I don't know if my friends can feel what I want to describe, and I don't know if you can accept it....... Pray that the result is not too bad!
