"Are the potatoes and chicken ready? The party is about to begin! ”

"Check out the champagne and coke, the boys are going to have a big job later!"

……

The auditorium, which is filled with a strong Christmas atmosphere, is full of Christmas decorations. In the center of the auditorium, the most important Christmas tree is adorned with lights and bells, waiting for everyone to arrive.

The cheerleading team, led by the captain Emma, is helping the staff to arrange the scene of the party in full swing.

Although the Christmas war is over, their battle has only just begun. In terms of catering, there are specially hired chefs and waiters, so they don't have to worry about it, but other arrangements need to be taken care of one by one. After all, the evening party was attended not only by the team's school administrators and guests, but also by the coaching staff, including the entire team of people of all grades, adding up to a total of hundreds of people, no less than a grand party.

"Kelly, the stars on the Christmas tree haven't been installed yet, you can go over and take a look!" Emma was busy in the dining area far away, not forgetting to worry about the things in the venue. This brings us back to the highlight of the night – the undecorated details on the Christmas tree.

Kelly hurriedly answered, pulling out the knocked stars from the balloons and gift boxes that were all over the floor. This is the decorative star installed at the top of the Christmas tree, which somehow fell to the ground. When Kelly looked up, she found that in order to look more in harmony with the huge auditorium and the tall team members, the height of the Christmas tree was specially made to be nearly 2.3 meters, and she really couldn't climb it, so she could only tiptoe to try to reach the top of the tree......

Once, twice...... By the end of the day, Kelly couldn't even jump, and she still couldn't put the Christmas star back in place. "Forget it, let's go find a chair." Kelly thought to herself, and turned around, but was startled by Yi Fan who approached the Christmas tree and wanted to help.

The distance that had never been so close made the two of them blush a little instantly, and they almost heard each other's heartbeats. Kelly didn't dare to look up, and all she could see in her sight was Yi Fan's gray sweater and scarf, and the two words she embroidered crookedly on the scarf made her even more shy.

"Well, I'll help you." Yifan was also a little embarrassed. As soon as he entered the auditorium, he saw Miss Kelly jumping under the Christmas tree, and when he got closer, he realized that he was decorating the Christmas tree, and he wanted to go up to help, but he never thought that Kelly turned around and almost bumped into his arms, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and seemed to have some ambiguous atmosphere.

Yi Fan took the star in Kelly's hand and put it on with his long hand. Kelly, who was still looking cute, was approached by Yi Fan, and felt a slight warmth surrounding, and couldn't help but raise her head to look at the serious side face of the Chinese boy, and the parasitic pavilion hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree......

"Liu, do you know the meaning of parasitism?" Kelly couldn't help but laugh. And Yi Fan withdrew his arm, and when he looked down slightly, he saw Kelly's smiling face, and he was nervous for no reason.

The sudden cheers made the two of them wake up, and they stood away at the same time, and Yi Fan stepped on the balloon with one foot, fortunately the noise around him muffled his embarrassment. The moment the stars on the original Christmas tree were installed, the lights on the entire Christmas tree were lit up, and the auditorium became even more colorful.

"It's so beautiful!" Kelly closed her eyes and took a deep breath and sighed.

"So are you." Yi Fan said silently in his heart.

Instructor??? Surrounded by everyone, he stood in the center of the auditorium. He slowly looked around at the people present, all the more familiar faces and figures. The auditorium fell silent, except for the melodious singing of Christmas songs. After a long time, the coach said: "This season, everyone has worked hard. Tonight is Christmas Eve, so please have a good time and have fun together! ”

The coach's words won everyone's applause and cheers, and the players welcomed the coach's return to the crowd. The music turned back to its original volume, and the crowd began to open the champagne and dance, and the scene became lively.

Yi Fan was also pulled by Barkley and the others to touch the glass a few times, although he drank low-alcohol champagne, he was also a little overwhelmed. In addition, I was a little uncomfortable when I attended a cocktail party for the first time, so I walked and came to the outside of the auditorium.

It was already snowing in Ann Arbor in December, and the corridor was much colder than indoors, and when the cold wind blew, Yi Fan couldn't help but wrap his scarf tightly. When I regretted that I didn't bring my coat out, I was poked twice in the back by something.

When I turned around, I saw that Kelly also walked out at some point, still holding his coat in her hand.

"I see you came out without a coat, wondering if you're going to be cold." Kelly handed her coat to Yi Fan and leaned on the railing of the hallway, "Look, this is my favorite season. It snows in the winter, just like in my hometown. Liu, will it snow in your hometown? Kelly turned to look at Yi Fan.

"My hometown is in China. There is snow in the north and not in the south. And I happen to be from the South. When Yifan talks about China, he doesn't consciously talk more.

"I love winter. Look how beautiful winter it is! When it snows, the lake freezes, just like in a fairy tale from Frozen. Kelly tilted her head, looking satisfied.

"It's really beautiful, and I didn't see snow for the first time since I came to the United States."

"Liu, you are the first person who didn't laugh at me for being so old and still believing in fairy tales." Kelly suddenly said seriously, "You know what? In my hometown of Minnesota, many families run ranches. None of them like winter because cold weather means possible losses. But I think that the pastures that have experienced the coldest times will get better next spring. It's like, our team, we have experienced defeats, we can bottom out, and we will become a better and stronger team. ”

"That's right, there is an old Chinese saying, 'Ruixue is a good year'. This means that more snow is a good indicator of a better season next year, and I'm sure our team will be the same. Yi Fan said firmly.

Snowflakes drifted in the sky, and Yi Fan suddenly remembered something. "Well, Kelly, what did you just ask me? Parasitism? What's that? "Poor Yifan, who has just been in the United States for more than a year, has very little understanding of Christmas culture.

"......" Kelly suddenly embarrassed again. In that beautiful atmosphere, why didn't I consciously say everything in my heart.

"Yi Fan! Yi Fan! Wang Yang's voice saved her in time, "Come and listen to the phone!" Someone's looking for you! ”

"Who!" Yi Fan is simply angry, this Wang Yang spoils his own good deeds every time!

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Kelly, Yi Fan ran away, leaving Kelly to reply softly: "The couple who kisses in the pavilion will be together forever......"
