Zhao Yang and Mu Qinglan sat opposite each other, in front of them was a steaming mandarin duck hot pot, with all kinds of hot foods on the side, beef meatballs, mutton rolls, pork belly, water tofu, enoki mushrooms, green vegetables...... Wait, a small table is full.

"Zhao Yang, give ......" Mu Qinglan personally helped Zhao Yang pick up the freshly cooked mutton rolls from the spicy hot pot with a spoon and put them in Zhao Yang's bowl with a warm smile.

Zhao Yang smiled slightly, nodded to Mu Qinglan and said, "Well, you can eat more too." ”

The two of them sat opposite each other and enjoyed the hot pot in this cold day, although they didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was very warm.

A meal was eaten for almost an hour. Mu Qinglan doesn't eat much, girls, after all, she has a small appetite. There was no waste of such a large amount of things ordered, Zhao Yang's appetite was amazing, and if he ate it openly, it was enough to eat the weight of two normal adults.

"Okay Qinglan, let's go." After paying the bill, Zhao Yang put the coat he had taken off on his body, and then reached out and pulled Mu Qinglan out of the hot pot restaurant.

In winter, it was dark early, only past six o'clock, and the sky outside was completely dark. However, the neon lights in the city have been lit up one after another.

Especially since today is Christmas, there are Christmas trees, Santa Claus and the like in front of various shops and commercial buildings on the street, and they are also hung with all kinds of small colored lights, and it still has that kind of festive atmosphere at a glance. It gives people a warm and warm atmosphere, but it makes this person feel that it is no longer so cold.

"Let's go, Zhao Yang, let's go shopping in the pedestrian street!" Walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Mu Qinglan couldn't help but hold one of Zhao Yang's hands and said with a little coquettishness.

"Hmm. Good! Zhao Yang looked at Mu Qinglan and nodded with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Shopping is more about feeling the warmth and romance of the festive atmosphere, looking at a pair of couples holding hands and side by side, being in it, unnaturally will make people feel a little warm and happy.

At least, for many girls, they enjoy it.

Walking in the pedestrian street, the hands held by the two unconsciously became ten fingers clasped, and Mu Qinglan's little head occasionally turned sideways, leaning on Zhao Yang's shoulder with a sweet and happy smile on her face. Even the steps are particularly cheerful and relaxed.

The joy and joy in Mu Qinglan's heart also infected Zhao Yang, making his mood gradually relax completely, not thinking about anything, just walking quietly and aimlessly, very relaxed and calm. It seems to be a pool of lake water without many waves, which has a strong contrast with the hustle and bustle of the surrounding atmosphere.

The peace of mind greatly soothed Zhao Yang's slightly suppressed and dull mood before. The corners of his mouth unexpectedly rose slightly. His eyes glanced at Mu Qinglan beside him, and he faintly smiled faintly......

With Mu Qinglan, he can always feel the faint warmth and quiet and soothing sense of relaxation, Mu Qinglan is like a clear and warm stream, flowing quietly, and it will cross your heart unconsciously.

There is also the innocence and shyness of Mu Qinglan. The occasional innocent and romantic atmosphere will make people feel very comfortable and peaceful, as if returning to the innocent and beautiful haode childhood, simple and carefree. There is also the unique sense of the times that belongs to the memories of my youth.

Therefore, Zhao Yang likes the feeling when he is with Mu Qinglan, and the whole person will be immersed in it unconsciously. It made him feel as if his whole heart had been washed by the 'clean' and 'dustless' aura on Mu Qinglan's body, which made many of the gloomy things he had experienced in the long years of 'Diyuan Immortal Land' washed away little by little.

In comparison, Lin Xueqi brought Zhao Yang a completely different feeling. In Lin Xueqi, what Zhao Yang felt was that kind of youthful, lively and delicate atmosphere. It also has a bit of the youthful and hazy feeling of the green years unique to young people in the mood for flowers.

Although Lin Xueqi sometimes has a little temperament and likes to quarrel with Zhao Yang, just like rejoicing in enemies, it is not that enemies do not get together. That subtle feeling is that it gradually grows in the bickering from time to time, tearing down each other's teasing, and unconsciously takes root.

If Mu Qinglan brings Zhao Yang a feeling similar to the innocent romance of childhood, simple and carefree, relaxed and tranquil. So what Lin Xueqi brought to Zhao Yang was the youthful immaturity and the feeling of ignorance that seemed to be at the beginning of love in high school, as well as a bit of youthful and beautiful atmosphere when he gradually turned from youth to maturity.

In Zhao Yang's heart, Mu Qinglan is as gentle and lovely as the sister next door, which is cherished, and he wants to spoil her and take care of her. Lin Xueqi is a female classmate who often argues with you in the class, as if she wants to compete with you for a high or right or wrong table.

As Zhao Yang struggled with in his heart before, you can't make a choice between these two different feelings, who is more important to you, whether it is to give up any of them, it is difficult to do it.

It doesn't matter whether it's a 'flower heart' or not, it's just a matter of feeling from the inside.

"Hey, Zhao Yang, look over there, there's 'Santa Claus' selling hats, let's go over and buy two hats, okay?" Mu Qinglan suddenly excitedly pointed to the person standing in front of him at the intersection of the pedestrian street, dressed in a 'Santa Claus' costume, and was holding many Santa hats and hawking.

When Zhao Yang looked up, he couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

The two walked up to the 'Santa Claus', and Mu Qinglan immediately stretched out a green jade finger and pointed at the Santa hat held by the 'Santa Claus', and asked, "How much does this hat cost?" ”

The 'Santa Claus' had a long snow-white fake beard on his face and a Santa hat on his head, but he could still vaguely tell that he was in his mid-forties.

Hearing Mu Qinglan's inquiry, the 'Santa Claus' suddenly smiled, even the corners of his eyes wrinkled, and said with a smile: "This hat costs twenty yuan a hat, if you buy two, you can give it a discount, only thirty-five yuan!" ”

The 'Santa Claus' smiled and looked at Zhao Yang who was standing beside Mu Qinglan.

"Thirty-five yuan...... Mu Qinglan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Thirty yuan is good?" Thirty dollars and two hats are sold to us......"

Women, after all, they like to bargain for things and so on. Zhao Yang stood on the side and didn't speak, just smiled and watched Mu Qinglan bargain with the 'Santa Claus'.

After some bargaining by Mu Qinglan, the 'Santa Claus' finally agreed to sell two hats for thirty yuan to Mu Qinglan and Zhao Yang.

Mu Qinglan, who had successfully bargained, couldn't help but turn around and make a victorious 'V' gesture at Zhao Yang, paid with a smile, and then handed one of the hats to Zhao Yang.

"Zhao Yang, is it good-looking?" Mu Qinglan put the Santa hat on her head, tilted her head to Zhao Yang and posed cutely, with a bright smile on her face.

"Uh-huh, good-looking. It's beautiful! Zhao Yang nodded with a smile and praised it.

Mu Qinglan immediately said, "Come, Zhao Yang, help me take a photo." As she spoke, she said to the 'Santa Claus' behind her who was selling hats: "Hello, can I take a photo with you?" ”

Mu Qinglan had just bought two hats, and the 'Santa Claus' would naturally not refuse at this time.

"Come on, Zhao Yang, shoot it!" Seeing that 'Santa Claus' agreed, Mu Qinglan immediately stood next to 'Santa Claus' excitedly, smiling and posing cutely.

Zhao Yang also took out his mobile phone and took several photos of Mu Qinglan one after another.

"Okay Qinglan, come and have a look, see if you're satisfied?" Zhao Yang smiled and beckoned to Mu Qinglan.

After Mu Qinglan politely thanked the 'Santa Claus' next to her, she trotted to Zhao Yang, took Zhao Yang's mobile phone and took a look, and nodded with satisfaction when she saw her image in the photo, "Well, it's a good shot, you have to send me this photo later!" ”

"Good! I'll send it to you when I get back! Zhao Yang nodded with a smile.

Mu Qinglan nodded vigorously, looked at Zhao Yang, and immediately smiled and said, "Zhao Yang, you also put on your hat!" Come on, I'll help you put it on! ”

Mu Qinglan said a little coquettishly, took his Santa hat from Zhao Yang's hand, and then helped Zhao Yang put it on on tiptoe.

"Alright!" After helping Zhao Yang put on her hat, Mu Qinglan couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at it seriously, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Zhao Yang, you are quite foreign in this hat!" Come, I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir. ”

As she spoke, Mu Qinglan took out her mobile phone from her satchel, and asked Zhao Yang to stand up with a smile and pose to help Zhao Yang take pictures.

Zhao Yang stood aside with a smile, posing very casually, looking at Mu Qinglan, who was smiling and full of joy and joy, and somehow Lin Xueqi's face suddenly appeared in his mind...... Zhao Yang's eyes couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

Mu Qinglan, who was taking pictures of Zhao Yang on the other side, didn't notice it, but took several photos of Zhao Yang one after another with joy, and then jumped to Zhao Yang and showed Zhao Yang his mobile phone like a treasure.

"Hee-hee, Zhao Yang, look, you look cute in a Santa hat!" Mu Qinglan herself looked at the photos on her phone and said with a smile.

Zhao Yang, who had just come back to his senses, also looked down at the photos Mu Qinglan took of him a few times, and then smiled and said, "Well, it's pretty good." ”

"Hee-hee, I'll just say it!" Mu Qinglan smiled.

"Alright, let's move on!" Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and put his arm around Mu Qinglan's shoulder and said.

"Well, what a drop!" Mu Qinglan responded crisply, put the phone back in her satchel, and obediently leaned on Zhao Yang to continue strolling...... (To be continued......)
