The cold winter night wind beats against the windows.

It's December 24, and the dry north wind is whistling outside the window.

Occasionally, the sound of the engine of a car in the park is normal, even in the silence of the night.

In the dwelling, the tranquility that has not been seen for a long time.

The heating is hot in December, and even if the air conditioner is not used in the room, the stove and other electrical appliances are still so warm that people are decadent.

In such a comfortable environment.

Su Chen drank warm black tea, ate delicious chiffon cake and snacks, and listened to the sound of the wind outside the window and the sound of the engine from time to time, and his heart was relaxed.

Buried in the hands of the lightning strike library magazine......

Beside him, Su Xiaoxiao, who was listening to songs and painting with headphones plugged in, occasionally interjected a few words with him.

No visitors, no socializing, no work......

Some of them are just a good and wandering atmosphere.

For people who have lived like this for a long time, of course, there is nothing unusual.

But Su Chen and Su Xiaoxiao both need to devote themselves to busy work on weekdays, so it is naturally difficult to enjoy such a daily routine.

Because this moment is precious, the sound of the wind outside and the noise of the engine sound quite poetic.

He looked out the window.

In the darkness of the night, only the light of the street lamps floated in the darkness.

- It's the night of Christmas Eve, and it's no different from a normal night.

If you have to say, at this moment, on a winter night, there should be a lot of people shopping in the shopping street, right?

After a slight distraction, Su Chen glanced at the time.

It's not early, and he's almost ready to go to bed, and get up early tomorrow to go to work......

When passing by where Su Xiaoxiao was sitting, he also gently reminded the other party:

"Rest early, your body is the most important thing."

"I accidentally slept in the office during the day, and now I'm super refreshed."

Su Xiaoxiao looked back at him with a pair of big doll-like eyes.

Well, indeed.

It is normal for people to fall asleep at their desks and desks in an extremely warm and comfortable environment, if they are not careful.

It just so happens that this thing is still the boss in the office, and once it squints, no one dares to come forward and wake up......

So, this is not the first time that the other party has slept during work hours.

Su Chen understands this very thoroughly, what can he hide from the eyes of the chairman?

But he still said:

"If you can't sleep, go to sleep, or you'll only get more uncomfortable tomorrow."

- Sometimes, daytime naps can really be a short pick-me-up and bring good results......

But doing so day after day at work has the potential to disrupt the biological clock.

Not to mention staying up late to hurt your body, and your mental state will be poor the next day.

"Hmm......"

In the face of Su Chen's preaching, Su Xiaoxiao let out a slight complaint, and then put down the tools in his hand, twisted his shoulders, and moved towards the kitchen.

"Now I want to have some supper, eat too much and go to sleep."

“…… Isn't it Christmas Eve? I don't have time to go out and have a big meal, so I can only cook something good at home. ”

Thinking so, Su Xiaoxiao opened the refrigerator.

What immediately catches your eye is a refrigerator with a lack of ingredients.

Speaking of which, Su Chen has been busy making Bilibili's New Year's Eve party recently, so he doesn't have much time to take care of this.

Supplementing ingredients or something, he has long forgotten about it.

"Forget it, don't eat any late-night snacks."

"If you eat so much at night, even if you are a beautiful girl, you will get fat."

Su Chen said this with his mouth, but he didn't have any hope in his heart at all.

Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao replied to him without thinking about it, "Supper will be placed in the other stomach of girls, and there is no such thing as gaining weight or anything." ”

"I knew you would say that......"

Su Chen rolled his eyes.

Then he stepped into the kitchen.

"No way, I'll get you something to eat."

"Huh? It's okay, don't bother brother. Su Xiaoxiao shook his head.

"Don't be polite to me."

"It really doesn't matter! Or rather, I'm fine on my own. ”

Su Xiaoxiao waved his hand.

- A few years have passed, and she has long mastered the skill of cooking.

Although not as skilled as Su Chen...... But to put it mildly, if you are an adult in your twenties, you can fry a few home-cooked dishes by yourself, and if you stay at home alone, you can still take care of yourself.

Hearing this, Su Chen's face was a little strange.

It's really changed...... This guy would say this to himself seriously......

He flipped through the refrigerator and said in a relaxed tone:

"Anyway, I'm a little hungry myself, and I want to get something to eat, and you're piggybacking."

"Didn't you just say you were going to sleep?" Su Xiaoxiao tilted his head.

"Ahaha, don't worry about these details."

Su Chen gently pushed her out of the kitchen, and the latter nodded reluctantly.

"Since you've said so, brother......"

Although she agreed with her mouth, she still felt a little uneasy and probed her brain in front of the kitchen, like the head chef monitoring the chef's every move.

Su Chen didn't care about the staring gaze.

After barely digging eggs, greens, bagged udon, and a small can of canned cow's head from the refrigerator, he placed them on the desk.

"That's enough, right?"

"Enough, you're going to make beef udon?"

"I usually call this a clear soup noodle ......"

"Ah......h It's really casual......"

While Su Xiaoxiao was complaining, Su Chen poured water into the pot, lit the fire, and waited for the water to boil.

Su Xiaoxiao came to his side and walked around, looking at the so-called ingredients the same.

"Brother, shouldn't you eat this every night in the future?"

"No, isn't this a special case? Who can stand the noodles every day? ”

Su Chen had a chance to deal with her.

When she was about to sink into the vegetables, she was suddenly intercepted by her small hand.

"This, don't put so many vegetables, spare me, sincerely."

"It's time to change your picky eating habits, and if you continue like this, your nutrition will be unbalanced."

Although saying this, Su Chen still sighed and only added a small amount of vegetables to garnish.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao's face suddenly pale, and he said with a smile: "Anla, isn't there beef?" The cows already eat vegetables, so I can get the nutrients indirectly without worrying. ”

"What a poor mouth...... And most of the feed that cattle eat is grains, which is cold knowledge. ”

During the conversation, Su Chen skillfully opened the closet and added some wakame to the noodle soup.

- It's also a green thing, and it can be a little nutritious.

Whew-

In order to let my sister eat more vegetables, I really worked hard.

"It feels good."

For wakame, Su Xiaoxiao has no resistance.

Noticing this reaction, Su Chen stretched out his hand to the canned corn as if he was tentative.

Anyway, the udon soup itself is very varied, so there's nothing wrong with everything.

It's a pity that this time, his actions were seriously stopped by Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Chen was stunned.

- Is it okay to accept wakame, but not corn?

Anyway, is this canned corn or sweet corn...... Mix in some salad dressing and it's like corn salad......

"What the hell is corn? Why do you add corn to a good beef udon? ”

"Don't you know? I've heard that beef and corn go well with udon. ”

Su Chen said as he took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to pour some of the corn into it, and the latter suddenly screamed softly.

"Ahh Obviously told you to stop! ”

"No problem, this amount can be adjusted at most, and it will not affect the overall taste."

Putting Su Xiaoxiao aside, Su Chen explained calmly.

Halfway through, he splits his energy and frying an omelette on the pot next door to the noodles.

It didn't take long for the two bowls of beef udon set to come out of the pot.

Placing one of them in front of Su Xiaoxiao, he handed her chopsticks and a spoon.

"Alright, let's try it."

"......" Su Xiaoxiao made a small face, picked up the chopsticks and ate it tremblingly, and then his facial expression relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly delicious......?"

After muttering unexpectedly, she puffed on the noodle soup and fried eggs, and ate them in small bites, like a cat slowly gnawing on small dried fish.

Seeing that his sister's reaction was not bad, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and followed suit.

Eating a bowl of steaming noodles in a warm room in winter is undoubtedly the simplest and roughest happiness.

Because both of them are afraid of hot stars, they don't eat fast.

Su Chen leisurely enjoyed the food in the bowl, and at this time, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something, and muttered to himself:

"My brother's cooking skills are still the same as before, and this taste is a little nostalgic."

Looking down at the spoon in the bowl, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

This was the case a few years ago, since her parents left the country, Su Chen would cook for her and eat together like today.

At that time, she didn't know how to cook complicated dishes as she does now, and she complained about her brother's sometimes meaty dinners......

Even so.

It was still an important memory that she missed a little and was a little embarrassed.

"Cooking this skill...... It's not a professional, and it is estimated that your brother will be at this level in the future. ”

"yes, yes, I haven't seen any growth...... It's that I'm always growing. Su Xiaoling replied sharply.

Then he went on with a smile.

"But if you're a well-qualified househusband, you need to be more skilled in cooking."

“？？？” Su Chen raised his eyes with confused eyes, and said angrily, "I'm so busy, and I'm still a househusband?" For whom? For you? ”

"yes, that's me!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded unashamedly.

Su Chen: "......"

Girl, how dare you say it!

Let Bilibili's Emperor Su be your full-time imperial chef, you really have it.

That's it.

After chatting about some inconsequential topics, the two of them finished their udon supper.

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Su Xiaoxiao deliberately thanked him respectfully, then exhaled a sigh of satisfaction, and then leaned lazily on the sofa.

Su Chen was afraid that she would fall asleep on the sofa like this, so he urged: "Coarse tea and light rice, inadequate hospitality...... Okay, let's go to bed. ”

"I'd like something sweet." She spoke.

"How do you ask me to say hello ......"

Su Chen sighed, "Forget it, there are snacks in the snack cabinet that came back from today's reduction, you can control the amount yourself." ”

"Huh? I don't like to eat them. ”

Su Xiaoxiao in his sight had already opened the snack cabinet.

"No way, just go to a nearby snack shop."

"It's so late, girls can't go out alone."

"It's no problem if you're not alone~"

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand.

obviously wants him to fulfill his obligation to be an older brother.

"Well, it's a privilege given to you on Christmas Eve, so don't take it as an example."

He said as he put on his coat.

……

The starry sky on Christmas Eve was very bright, the night wind was blowing fiercely, and the air was cold and clear.

It seems that a huge mirror has been formed between heaven and earth, with the moon and bright stars on it, and the street lamps lining the streets below, and the lights of houses lined up one after another......

This scene illuminates the streets at night.

There are several convenience stores next to each other at the entrance of the community, a short distance from the residence, but Su Xiaoxiao said that she wants to go to the snack shop on the central street, where she has what she wants to eat.

On the way to the snack shop, there are only two brothers and sisters in the quiet street.

"Wow, it's so cold, it's cold! That's too much different from the daytime temperature, right? ”

"It's really cold enough......"

The two kept shivering because of the huge temperature difference.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao leaned over and grabbed his arm.

"Well, that's warm, and you can keep each other warm."

As she spoke, she looked up at Su Chen.

The latter is rolling his eyes.

It's hard to walk because it's sticky like this, and it's a little weird.

was about to withdraw his arm with a disgusted expression, but at this time, he heard Su Xiaoxiao burying his head and muttering in a low voice.

"Before you know it, many years have passed...... Brother, you are obviously an uncle who runs fast, but you don't see the passage of youth. ”

Su Xiaoxiao's face was no longer excited.

With a slightly troubled look, she looked at the lights on the street.

Seeing her uneasy expression, Su Chen subconsciously stopped the movement of his arm.

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?"

"Dude, I have a question for you."

"What?"

"Will you leave this house?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and when she went to bed last night, she had a rare nightmare.

She dreamed that in a few months or a few years in the future, Su Chen left her, married a bad woman, and left the house, leaving her alone......

Su Chen was slightly stunned.

It was only after meeting Su Xiaoxiao's watery eyes that he reacted.

First knocked her on the head, then touched her head.

"If you don't leave the house first, how can I be willing to leave? Because I have to take care of you. ”

“…… Well. ”

Perhaps because of the pressure of his hand, Su Xiaoxiao's face lowered, but although the other party's response was small, it was full of power.

The night was quiet and somewhat terrifying.

The streets are a little long with rows of street lamps.

Su Chen had no way of knowing when it would come to an end.

Just as time alternates, the bonds between people and people will continue to flow.

After the traces of time, will the future abode be a thing?

The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy.

At least winter is coming, and spring is not far away, and this night sky will never be seen again.

So, for the time being, with the warmth beside you-

Let's look up at the night sky and take a step forward.

A peaceful night, a leisurely body and mind, and a peaceful day.

Happy Christmas Eve?

No, no, no.

In today's Su Chen's view, everything is so complete, and day and night are the "Christmas Eve" for the two of them.

……
