Christmas brings warmth to the icy steel city of Pittsburgh, with Santa hats with red hats and pointed flags lining the streets, and adults allowing children to go in and pick out their favorite gifts as they pass through shop windows. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

There were a few edelweiss flowers floating in the sky, gently sticking to the top of people's heads, glowing a little white.

Yawn!

When Laura came out, her clothes were a little thin, and Situ Nan hurriedly hugged her into her arms.

"Is it cold? Do you want to sit in the car? Situ Nan looked back, and his bodyguard leader, Han Gang, had been driving behind him.

"No, that's fine!" Laura shook her head, leaning on Situ Nan's arms to be warm, as long as he was by her side, she would feel warm in the cold winter, just like the night the Titanic sank, she was like a headless fly scurrying around, her heart was full of panic, and she felt like the end of the world.

Until he saw this man, he was not afraid to organize the passengers to escape.

When he was most helpless, he really carried himself into the lifeboat, and although it was short, it made people feel reassured, a convincing force, and believed that he would be able to overcome his fear. His focused gaze at that moment will forever be etched in Laura's heart.

A woman's heart is full of secrets, and Laura doesn't plan to tell Situ Nan how handsome he is when he escapes!

Situ Nan hugged Laura through the noisy streets, keeping the cold wind behind him.

When he walked to a small square, there were many couples kissing on it, Situ Nan looked a little envious, and said, "Let's come too!" ”

Laura didn't say anything, glanced at Situ Nan emotionally, and gently closed her glasses.

Situ Nan slowly leaned in and pressed Laura's lips. That soft feeling is so good! Situ Nan held her pretty face and gnawed it.

Woooooo

Laura's movements were a little rusty, and she was unlikely to respond to Situ Nan, who finally pried open her teeth and sucked her lilac tongue.

Suffocating kisses!

"How does it feel?" Situ Nan asked.

"Not good! Why did you stick your tongue in just now, it's dirty. Laura glanced at Situ Nan, and the white on her face was red, as if it was covered with peach blossoms.

Peach blossoms with a human face! It's so good-looking!

Situ Nan was about to review the heart-warming feeling just now, but was interrupted by a voice next to him.

Situ Nan looked back unhappily, it turned out to be a **-year-old girl, who had just reached Situ Nan's waist height, holding a bunch of roses in her hand. Her clothes were a little thin, and her little face was a little blue from the cold.

"Big brother, buy a flower for my sister!" The girl said weakly, with some anticipation in her eyes.

Day! What Situ Nan is most afraid of is this kind of pitiful thing, especially the innocent eyes that make people feel soft, this feeling Situ Nan feels uncomfortable.

Situ Nan didn't hate that girl, but hated that this kind of situation made him think that his iron heart couldn't be hardened at all, he could carnival because of the profits brought by the bloody war, but he couldn't refuse a little girl's innocent eyes, this feeling was weird and uncomfortable.

"Big brother, buy a flower for my sister!"

The little girl saw that Situ Nan was silent, frowning slightly, that somewhat stern look made her a little scared in her heart, the child was sensitive, and her voice became weaker.

"Honey, those flowers are so beautiful!" Laura said and touched the little girl's head affectionately, not going home for Christmas to reunite, selling flowers on the street, no matter what she said, it was sympathetic.

"Little sister, why are you selling flowers here? What about the family? Situ Nan squatted down and asked with a smile, "Sue sù big brother, big brother will buy your flowers!" ”

"Really?" The little girl said happily.

Situ Nan nodded.

"Dad asked for the business of the flower shop, and he said that the business was good today, and he wanted to sell more flowers, and then he would have money to buy me gifts. Look, that's my dad! The little girl pointed to a flower shop not far down the road.

Situ Nan looked over, there was really a man busy going in and out, and he came over with a smile.

Fortunately, it was not a story of a trafficker controlling a child who sold flowers, Situ Nan felt a little relieved and said, "Little sister, I want all these words!" How much does it cost? ”

The little girl counted the wrenches and finally came up with the result: "15 cents a flower, 20 flowers is 3 dollars." ”

"Okay!" Situ Nan said and felt in his pocket, except for a checkbook, it was empty, damn it, he actually forgot that he rarely brought his wallet now. Every time you buy something, someone is responsible, and you don't have to do it yourself.

"What's wrong?" Laura asked, why did she think Situ Nan's face was a little strange.

"It's fine." Situ Nan turned around and snapped his fingers, and Han Gang immediately appeared.

······

"It's $5, little sister. The extra money will be used as a Christmas gift from your big brother. Situ Nan said.

"Is that okay?" The little girl's eyes lit up and she was a little excited.

"Of course!" Laura, who spoke this time, squatted down and pulled one out of a bunch of roses and gave it to the little girl, "This one for my lovely little sister, I wish her a Merry Christmas!" ”

Laura patted the little girl's clothes and said with a smile, "Go back quickly!" Big brother and big sister love your flowers, next time I come to buy you. ”

"Let's go! My rose!" Situ Nan said to Laura that the little girl had gone back satisfied.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Laura said a little shyly, she was a little burned by Situ Nan's hot eyes, and turned her head slightly, but looked back at Situ Nan firmly.

"Nope. I didn't expect a big lady like you to be so kind and gentle to a little girl. Situ Nan said.

"What's wrong with the eldest lady? Aren't you a monopoly either? Laura said.

"I was born in the root and am more sympathetic to those who are poor, but a lady like you should rarely come into contact with people at the bottom, right? So I think your kindness is rare. Situ Nan said.

"Well, you're right! I still remember the man who was busy coming in and out of the door, and I felt like my dad used to rush out every day, and his smile was so kind.

My mother passed away when I was a child, and my father, although very busy, was always concerned about me. Laura said with some sadness.

Situ Nan didn't expect that there would be such a layer, he didn't expect that such a happy girl as Laura would grow up in a single-parent family. Thinking of this, he hugged Laura into his arms with some pity.

"Ah, you broke the flowers!" Laura said quickly.

What a disappointment! Situ Nan was a little depressed, but he said affectionately: "If the rose is crushed, you can buy it again, but it's not good if it's cold."

You are my most cherished rose, all the flowers in the world add up to not be optimistic about you, you alone is enough, why care about anything else! ”

"Really?" Although this sound a little untrue, Laura was still sweet in her heart, and when she became excited, she gave Situ Nan a kiss back.

Han Gang hurriedly turned his head, just now he was listening to it, he felt his stomach twitch, how could he not imagine that the boss who usually disregarded other women would be so numb.

"There's a café in front of you, the coffee is good, let's go sit for a while!" Laura said as she grabbed Situ Nan's arm.

"Okay." Situ Nan was a little tired from walking, and for him, accompanying women to go shopping was a laborious job.

Situ Nan smelled the aroma of coffee when he walked in the door, and he glanced at it, this café on Pittsburgh Avenue is well decorated, it is very elegant and quiet, relatively petty bourgeoisie, suitable for couples or small white-collar workers to pass the time here.

There are quite a few couples like Situ Nan and Laura, who are laughing face-to-face and enjoying each other's sweet words.

Since it is Christmas, the day is a little special, so the café is decorated in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Laura came in with a bouquet of bright roses in her hand and attracted the attention of many people, of course, the men were attracted by Laura's beauty, and their women were envious of the roses in Laura's hand.

Situ Nan was a little proud, leaned into Laura's ear and said, "Look, many people are looking at you!" ”

Laura smiled sweetly, didn't say anything, and told the waiter to take them to a seat. She was obviously a regular customer here, and soon they found a seat on the second floor facing the street, with good light and a wide view, and Situ Nan could see the people and vehicles on the street from the window.

In the middle of winter, it's a pleasure to have a cup of coffee indoors, especially when there's a lover sitting across from you.

Every qiē makes people feel satisfied, and this satisfaction makes Situ Nan put aside other worries and just want to sit and enjoy this rare moment.

"What are you thinking?"

Laura tilted her head to see Situ Nan holding her coffee and sitting quietly, her slightly lowered eyes seemed to hide the man's thoughts.

"I was just wondering where I was and what I was doing this time last year, but I didn't seem to be too impressed."

Situ Nan took a sip of coffee from his cup, a bitter aroma filled his heart, he never added sugar to coffee, he was obsessed with the bitter taste.

Life is like this coffee, you don't need to deliberately add sugar, and the feeling of harvest after experiencing hard work is like the strong aroma of coffee, which is very sweet without adding sugar.

If you can meet Laura again this time, at least God is still good for you.

Situ Nan thought with some gratitude, even though the thought had been repeated more than once in his mind today, he didn't mind repeating it again.

"But I'll remember Christmas for a long time this year, and at least one person next to me shared this rare moment with me." Situ Nan said with emotion.

"I am the same, thanks to God Almighty, who at last heard my prayers and sent you to me." Laura clasped her hands together and looked reverent.

Was it God's arrangement?

Situ Nan didn't believe this, he stubbornly thought that it was a kind of fate, but no matter what, it was something that made him feel that he should cherish what he had in front of him.

"By the way, how have you been here all these years? I'd like to hear a lot of stories about how you went from a crew member to a successful businessman in just a few years, right? ”

Curiosity kills cats, and women are more curious animals than cats, and Laura is no exception.

Although she didn't pay much attention to business matters, she was curious about how Situ Nan could suddenly become a businessman who made her family respect.

In the days without Situ Nan, Laura always felt that her past memories were a little blank, so she couldn't wait to know Situ Nan's experience in the past few years.

"Seriously, I didn't expect it to be today. After I broke up with you in New York Harbor, I was at a loss as to what to do next, but I didn't want to be a crew member anymore, so I quit White Star Steamship and went to Harvard, Massachusetts.

Well, I've always wanted to visit the schools there. As a result, I met Robles there, but at that time everyone was living a relatively depressed life, and there was not enough material resources, but life was still quite simple and fulfilling.

After leaving Harvard, I went to California in the west to try my luck, but I didn't expect that my luck was good, and it really allowed me to drill out oil. Then I started a company, and then I was lucky, and I opened several oil fields in a row, and the business became bigger and bigger, as if it had developed all of a sudden.

······

Then Robles joined my business, and we both did a good job for the past two years. To put it mildly, I'm just an upstart, and the smell of copper on this body is still very fresh. ”

Situ Nan sniffed his clothes as he spoke, and said a little exaggeratedly. Just now he said a lot of interesting things about the trip, but the bad things were brushed aside.

Reporting good news and not bad news has always been Situ Nan's habit, and this has been the case since he was studying abroad alone in his previous life. He always believes that men should bring happiness to those close to them instead of making them worry about you.

"Huh!" Laura was amused by Situ Nan, but fortunately she didn't spray the coffee on Situ Nan.

In fact, things were not as easy as Situ Nan said, and although the west did not have the cowboys, ruffians, hooligans, criminals, and speculators that were rampant during the westward expansion movement, the fierce customs of those places were preserved.

Developing such a big career in an unfamiliar place is mainly Situ Nan's innate advantage, in addition to being skilled in business methods, other gray means are also essential. There are also a lot of thrilling stories in the middle, but these things are not easy to say, Situ Nan knows it himself.

"Tell me about you! How are you doing all these years? Situ Nan asked.

"I... There's not much to say. After we separated, I would have continued my studies at the school and had already received my degree two years ago. Then I would go home with my dad and sometimes help him with some things. These years have not been good or bad, they are dull, and they are not as wonderful as you are in the west. ”

Laura looked at Situ Nan with some concern, she grabbed Situ Nan's hand and said softly, "You have suffered a lot over the years, haven't you?" I heard Robles say that when he first met you, he was tanned, like a black man. ”

Situ Nan's heart was soft, and he felt a sense of being understood. People in the world often envy the glorious successes on stage, but rarely pay attention to the arduous process of their struggle. As Bing Xin said:

Successful flowers, people only envy its current beauty. At the beginning, its buds were soaked with tears of struggle and sprinkled with the drizzle of sacrifice.

Situ Nan felt that this girl was too sensational, and said in just a few words that he was in his heart, he grabbed Laura's hand, looked at Laura's pretty face, and suddenly had an urge to grow old with her.

"It's easy for me to be touched by you doing this, I find myself inseparable from you now, what should I do? Do you want to make a promise? Or I'll go back tonight and tell Andrew to marry my daughter to me. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"I want to be beautiful, I haven't promised you anything yet!" Laura glanced at Situ Nan, this guy is too good at inches, but she is sweet in her heart.

Coming out of the café, it was already dark, and the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, probably rushing home.

Situ Nan looked back, there was still an old man sitting in front of the café, his eyes were a little lonely, the coffee in front of him was already cold, and he had been sitting there quietly for an afternoon.

"What are you looking at?" Laura asked curiously.

"That old man!" Situ Nan replied.

"Oh! It's him! Every time I come to a café, I see him there, and he usually has a cup of coffee for an afternoon, as if he was waiting for someone. Laura said.

"Let's go! We went back. It's been a day since I kidnapped his baby daughter, and I wonder if Andrew will clean me up! Situ Nan said with a smile.

When he went back, Situ Nan still remembered the old man in the café, his lonely appearance made Situ Nan feel emotional, wasn't he like this when he was there?

It's like what was written in the English song "London Streets" that Situ Nan liked very much in his previous life:

"Have you ever seen an old man kicking the newspaper in a closed market? There is no pride in his eyes, and he tells yesterday's story with yesterday's newspaper under his armpit.

How can you say that you are alone and that your sun is not shining on you? Let me take you by the hand and lead you to the streets of London, where people and things will change your opinion.

At half-past eleven o'clock in the night, the old man sat alone, gazing at the world through his teacup, and after an hour of tea, he staggered home alone...."

I wonder if we will be young in a few decades, what kind of mood will we feel when we look back, whether it is as the song sings, when the prosperity is gone, what will await us. Rain is crying with a little pity, for more than one forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care about them......

Thinking of this, Situ Nan couldn't help hugging Laura tightly, and he decided to find Andrew to show his attitude after he went back.

(Pu Su loves this song so much, streetsoflondon, it is written, I don't know why it came here.) If you're interested, let's listen to it. ）”
