Chapter 66: The Eve of Christmas Eve (Part II)
Hearing Lin Qiaoman say it was a birthday present for me, I looked back from the bag in her hand.
I saw that the bag in her hand was bulging, but I couldn't see what was inside from the outside.
At this time, it felt like I was looking. Lin Qiaoman turned his back very subtly, hid the bag behind him, and lowered his head and still didn't look at me.
Her little movements surprised me for a while, and I looked at her for a while before I couldn't help but smile and ask
"Really... That.. Are you going to give it to me today? Or tomorrow? ”
It seems that he is not very sure, and when I asked, Lin Qiaoman finally raised her head, only to see her pause for a while, as if she was convincing herself
"Today, but... I'll give it to you later.. Because I don't want you to know what it is just yet.."
I didn't expect that even Lin Qiaoman would learn to hang his appetite, and he was a little tired and didn't love it at the moment.
But think about it. For the current time period, there are only a few hours left today, so it would be okay to keep her mysterious or something.
In this way, I nodded at Lin Qiaoman and spoke
"yes, well, I also said that if you don't give it to me today, I'll do it myself... Let's go, let's go inside for a while, my cousin is out with someone, and I can take you out to dinner when she comes back."
Seeing me joking with her, Lin Qiaoman's eyes shook, only to see her nod obediently again, and followed me into the hotel.
Obviously, Lin Qiaoman rarely comes to this kind of place, and I even suspect that Lin Qiaoman has never set foot in this kind of place at all, except for the last time when she went to the hotel with me and Wang Jiaci, I saw that she was sitting on the sofa in the hall and felt a little uncomfortable, and turned her head to look outside for a while. Look at me again in a moment.
I was a little embarrassed by her uneasiness, and finally I got up from the front desk, walked over to her, sat down and asked
: "That.. Are you hungry? What's the matter at home today, I came so late, is there a car from you to the county seat at too late? ”
It is estimated that I asked so many questions at once, Lin Qiaoman didn't think about which one to answer me first, but she thought about it before nodding at me and saying
"Well, not hungry yet.. There's nothing to do either, it's just.. A little thing.. The last train I took when I first came here was not anyone, and the car was always creaking. It's still a little scary to think about.."
Hearing Lin Qiaoman say this, I couldn't help laughing, nodded again, and said
"That's right. Now that something is always going on at night, one really needs to pay attention. But when you first arrived, wasn't it very lively in the streets? By the way, what do you want to eat in a while, I'll let you choose a place today, you're welcome.."
No matter how you think about it, I haven't eaten at this time, and it's impossible not to be hungry, but Lin Qiaoman is embarrassed to say it, so he will say that he is not hungry, and I don't know how long Jiao Yang and my cousin will play outside, don't come back in the middle of the night, Lin Qiaoman and I will not starve to death here by then.
Just thinking about it, Lin Qiaoman shook his head again and whispered
"I don't know what to eat, or... It's better for you to choose a place, I can eat anything.."
I have to admit that Lin Qiaoman is the most obedient girl I know, and her sentence that she can eat anything really makes me want to be crooked, this is what he meows, change to someone else, who doesn't want a girl like Lin Qiaoman to eat a little chicken of her own on Christmas Eve?
At this point, I took a deep breath and could only nod and smile
"Okay, actually, I haven't thought about it, let's take a look at it later, and see which one to eat."
As soon as the words fell, I heard Lin Qiaoman laugh quietly, and after a while, she looked at me and said with red cheeks
"What you just said... It's like a bandit.. Whoever you want to rob which one.."
I didn't expect Lin Qiaoman to have a big brain, so he shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again.
Later, Lin Qiaoman and I stayed in the hotel, and at this time, it was the peak time to open the room, and the hotel was quickly full.
At first, Lin Qiaoman would be embarrassed when he saw the little couple who came to open the room, and his cheeks were red, and then he saw more and more people, so he was not as repulsed as before, but he also helped me to work a little bit, handing over the door number, taking the ID card or something.
This also made me feel a little refreshed, because most of the young couples who came to open the room would look at Lin Qiaoman with straight eyes after entering the door, and they would make up for it when they went upstairs.
Finally, all the rooms have been booked, and Lin Qiaoman and I are relaxed.
In fact, I knew from the last time I went to her house that Lin Qiaoman is a more capable girl, of course, my "dry" refers to the "dry" of work, in other words, Lin Qiaoman may be the kind of good wife and mother.
And Lin Qiaoman saw that there seemed to be nothing to be busy with, so he sat down on the side and said while rubbing his wrist
"There are so many people today, are there so many people in normal times?" ”
Maybe he was just looking for a topic casually, but when he asked, he seemed to realize that something was not quite right, and a shy look flashed on Lin Qiaoman's face.
I saw her look at her like this, smiled, shook my head, and said
"No, isn't it a special situation today... Possible.. Some people want to spend Christmas Eve with the people they like."
My words made Lin Qiaoman seem to think of something, and quickly quieted down.
Seeing that she was no longer talking, I pointed to the door and said
"I'm going to make a call and ask my cousin when I'll be back.."
After saying this, I walked outside the hotel, but to my surprise, as soon as I took out my mobile phone, I found a taxi parked at the door.
As soon as the car door opened, I saw my cousin and Jiao Yang get out of the car and walk towards me.
When I saw two people, my first reaction was that I had saved my phone bill.
When my cousin and Jiao Yang saw me standing at the door, they were stunned, and after a while, my cousin looked at me and asked with concern
"Are you waiting for trouble to come to the door and expect the two of us to come?" ”
Hearing my cousin say this, I shook it and said
"I felt that you should come back and give me back my freedom, so I came out. That one.. Enough fun, right? ”
While saying this, I looked at Jiao Yang next to my cousin, day, this Jiao Yang is full of red light. It's a good thing at first glance!
I don't know why my mood is very complicated at the moment, I have always been looking forward to something happening between Jiao Yang and my cousin, but I feel that something really happens is still a little awkward, and judging from Jiao Yang's expression now, the two of them must be one step closer.
This made me take a deep breath and hear my cousin say
"Enough fun, cousin, are you really okay tonight?" How do I feel .."
My cousin stopped halfway through her sentence, only to see her glaring and looking behind me.
I turned my head to look at my cousin's line of sight, and saw that Lin Qiaoman seemed to have noticed that my cousin was back, stood up and walked to the door.
Seeing Lin Qiaoman, my cousin and Jiao Yang were very surprised, maybe in their imagination, even if there is a girl with me today, it should be Wang Jiaci.
At this time, Lin Qiaoman also seemed to feel the strangeness of the atmosphere, and saw her lower her head and muttered in a low voice
"You.. Hello.."
Lin Qiaoman's words made my cousin and Jiao Yang come back to their senses, and the two of them said hello to Lin Qiaoman, and then my cousin looked at me and said
"Cousin, has she been working with you all the time?" Someone is waiting for you, why don't you call me, okay... Go where you want to go, go now... shop we watched.."
Hearing my cousin say this, I thought to myself that Lao Wei wanted to fight well just now, but when I saw freedom, I still nodded, looked at Lin Qiaoman, and turned my head and said
"Okay, then let's go.. The store is full.. There's nothing to do."
As soon as I heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in my cousin's eyes, and I saw her nod at me, and then looked at Lin Qiaoman, and then walked in with Jiao Yang in the door.
And I realized that there was nothing to do with myself here, so I walked to the side and pushed the cart, pushed it in front of Lin Qiaoman and said
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting with me for so long, let's go, it's time to be a bandit.."
Hearing me say this, Lin Qiaoman first shook his head to indicate that it didn't matter, then covered his mouth and smiled, walked to the back seat and sat down and said
"Okay, watch TV when you're at home... I've seen a sentence.. Call for a walk-and-go.. Today we counted. Let's take a trip to eat."
Lin Qiaoman's words suddenly flashed in my mind about my trip to Nandaihe with Wang Jiaci, in fact, it was a journey, just go...
I quickly came to my senses and smiled at her and motioned for her to come up quickly.
It was now completely dark, and although there was nothing to see from the sky, it did not affect the lively atmosphere of the street in the slightest.
I took Lin Qiaoman and wandered aimlessly around the streets.
Speaking of which, I was a little hungry just now, and now that I'm going to eat, I actually feel that I'm not so hungry again, and Lin Qiaoman behind me didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After finally riding some distance, I couldn't help it anymore, but I still spoke
"You don't need to be so wary of me, do you?" You put the bag in the basket, I won't peek... And even if you see it, it's nothing, don't you tell me what it is in a moment? ”
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiaoman seemed to shake her head when she heard me say this, and soon her voice came from behind her
: "No.. No, I'll take the insurance a little bit, and I'll give it to you when I want to tell you.."
It's the first time I've seen Lin Qiaoman so stubborn, so I can only sigh and say again
"Okay, then you can look around and tell me what you want to eat."
Hearing me say this, Lin Qiaoman said "um" very seriously, which was considered to answer me, but after that, she seemed to be blind, and I was about to ride from one end of the county to the other, and Lin Qiaoman still didn't speak again.
Her silence left me speechless, and finally I stopped the car, turned my head to look at her, and said
"I think it's better for me to decide the place, you bandits don't want to eat anywhere.."
My words made Lin Qiaoman look at me embarrassedly, only to see her purse her lips and whisper
"I'm sorry, on the street... It's so lively, I was fascinated by it for a while and forgot about it.."
I can understand how much I can understand when I hear Lin Qiaoman say this, it is true that today is much more lively than usual, mainly because of the atmosphere, and it is normal for Lin Qiaoman to wander.
At this point, I thought about it for a while, and suddenly I had to decide where to eat... I really couldn't think of any good place, but after a while, a place still came to my mind.
When I thought of that place, my breathing slowed down a little, and I hesitated for a while, but I still looked at Lin Qiaoman in a trance, and asked in a low voice
: "That.. Go for a burger.. How?"
This sounds more like asking herself, Lin Qiaoman didn't hear the strangeness in my tone, she was very obedient, and immediately nodded and said
"Okay, let's go get a burger... Right now.. I'm a little hungry too.."
Hearing that Lin Qiaoman agreed, I immediately took a deep breath as if I had found a reasonable excuse for myself, and motioned for her to sit down.
Feeling that she was sitting firmly, I drove her to the blue sky cold drink full of memories of me and Wang Jiaci.
When I arrived at the door of the store, the moment I stopped the car, I felt in a trance that the person behind me was not Lin Qiaoman but Wang Jiaci.
When he turned around and saw Lin Qiaoman's face, this feeling disappeared.
I don't know why I suddenly felt a little guilty, this sad place may not even have the courage to come alone, I didn't expect me to drag Lin Qiaoman over to accompany me.
Lin Qiaoman obviously didn't know what happened to me and Wang Jiaci here, she just looked at the inside of the store, and then looked at me and whispered
"It seems like there's a lot of people in there."
I nodded and walked in with her.
In fact, before I came, I expected that there would be no fewer people here, and I had already made up my mind that if there was already someone in that private room, I would take Lin Qiaoman to another place.
But I don't know if it was God's favor or mercy on me, after asking the waiter, the private room upstairs was empty.
Hearing me say that I was going to the private room, Lin Qiaoman's eyes changed slightly, but she didn't say anything, but silently followed me upstairs.
The moment I went upstairs and opened the private room, the picture of being here with Wang Jiaci flashed quickly in my mind.
After a while, I came back to my senses a little, got out of the way and motioned for Lin Qiaoman to sit down first.
When Lin Qiaoman sat down, I sat down opposite her and said
"Whatever you want, there's a good stuff here."
Lin Qiaoman may be really hungry, so I saw that she took the menu and ordered some food casually.
After ordering, the waiter took the list and left, and closed the door of the private room.
As soon as the door of the private room was closed, the warm lighting made the atmosphere in this small space a little solemn.
At this time, I didn't talk to Lin Qiaoman, she didn't look at me, but looked around. Zhen Ping Ji Cai.
And although my eyes were still looking straight ahead, my thoughts seemed to jump back to the beginning, back to when I was eating here with Wang Jiaci.
After a while, Lin Qiaoman suddenly looked at me and asked in a low voice
: "Liu Ming.. This place... It means something special to you, right? ”
Lin Qiaoman's words stopped me all of a sudden, and a feeling of reincarnation instantly began to wander in my body.
yes, this place has a special meaning to me, right?
When I came to this place with Wang Jiaci, I felt that this place may have special memories for Wang Jiaci, but I didn't expect that I brought Lin Qiaoman here today, and she also saw that this place is also a place of my memories.
Thinking of this, I lowered my head and laughed self-deprecatingly, then raised my head to look at Lin Qiaoman, and whispered
"I'm sorry, actually... In the past, Xiaoci and I always came here to eat... Today.. I kind of wanted to come here, so I decided without telling you.."
I was a little embarrassed when I said this, after all... Probably not a very good thing.
What I didn't expect was that when I said this, Lin Qiaoman's face just changed, and soon she shook her head again, and said in a weak voice
"It's okay.. It's okay with me.."
As he spoke, Lin Qiaoman raised his head and added slowly
"A long time ago.". Didn't I tell you that... Just follow your words... I can go anywhere.."
