When he received Su Xiaoxiao's call, Yan Yimo had just finished taking a shower.

A few slightly damp strands of hair were scattered casually in front of his forehead, and there were a few small droplets of water hanging from his hair. Hearing that she was at the door of the house, the corners of Yan Yimo's mouth rose slightly, thinking that this little girl was really easy after the exam, and she actually thought of having fun with him.

I didn't believe it in my heart, but I listened to her words out of nowhere.

When he opened the door and saw the real Su Xiaoxiao outside the house, Yan Yimo's expression could not be more accurate than that of stunned.

It was snowing heavily in New York in December, but the girl standing at the door had large beads of sweat on her forehead, looking like she didn't care about her hard work, and her face was full of a sense of accomplishment. The corners of his mouth were filled with a proud smile.

Seeing that Yan Yimo was stunned in place, Su Xiaoxiao tilted his head and made a grimace expression, and playfully stuck out his tongue.

“Surprise!”

Then he strode forward, hanging lightly around his neck, and laughing. Su Xiaoxiao doesn't like sports, she dragged her suitcase for so long today, and her slightly panting breath was deep and shallow, spraying Yan Yimo's ears.

In the next second, her soft lips lightly and accurately touched Yan Yimo's cheek and kissed her. As soon as the dragonfly touched it, it shy and quickly withdrew, leaving only a soft touch like a feather.

Su Xiaoxiao's body exuded a faint fruity fragrance, and the warm kiss was mixed with the cold water droplets that quietly slipped on Yan Yimo's hair, as if with an electric current, gradually heating up.

Yan Yimo reacted at this time and laughed in a low voice.

Over the years on Wall Street, he has received countless pens for cases of all sizes, and has met countless people of all kinds, and nothing can make him stunned. The moment I opened the door and saw Su Xiaoxiao just now, I was dazed by her sudden surprise, and I didn't know if I was dreaming or waking up for a while.

Yan Yimo held Su Xiaoxiao, who was wrapped around him like a koala, in one hand, pushed the suitcase in the other, and closed the door on tiptoe.

In the vinyl record player in the room, the first snow of Bandari was playing, swaying and slow.

Lai all the way into the living room, Su Xiaoxiao had enough of being coquettish, worried that he would be tired, so he took the initiative to jump off him.

"Landing safely."

She smiled and made a report gesture, "Mr. Yi, were you surprised by my surprise!" Thinking of Yan Yi's expression just now, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't straighten up with a smile, "It would be nice if I could record it for you, you were really too cute just now!" ”

Yan Yimo thought back to his reaction, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Su Xiaoxiao!"

Yan Yimo felt sorry for Su Xiaoxiao who had been tossing alone for so long, so he pretended to be angry, "Why didn't you come to New York and tell me in advance to let me pick you up." Carrying such a heavy suitcase by yourself, do you have the strength to do it endlessly? ”

Originally, the sweat on Su Xiaoxiao's body was almost gone, and when he felt the slightly angry tone of Yan Yimo's voice, another layer of fine sweat appeared, and he pouted and muttered, "Aren't people just trying to surprise you." If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't have dragged more than 20 kilograms of luggage alone and walked in the snow for more than an hour to come to this big and confusing New York! ”

Hearing her muttering like this, Yan Yimo felt even more distressed, and looked down at the snow boots on Su Xiaoxiao's feet.

After walking in the open for too long, the snow boots were soaked with snow and turned a dark brown color.

"Get on the couch."

Yan Yimo handed Su Xiaoxiao a blanket, then half-squatted down and helped her take off her shoes slowly. "Wait for me here. After a while you soak your feet and warm them up, and then we'll go out to eat again. ”

"Hmm."

Su Xiaoxiao sat down obediently as Yi Mo said. Although his feet were red from the cold, his heart was warm.

It's been like this since I was a child. scolded her for being stupid, but he would always take care of her silently and protect her.

The air conditioner in the room was adjusted to the highest 30 degrees, and Su Xiaoxiao's small body was also tightly wrapped in a blanket.

After soaking her feet for a while and drinking a large glass of hot milk, Su Xiaoxiao felt that her body was slowly warming up, and her mood was better. Excitedly, he and Yan Yimo discussed what they could do on Christmas Eve.

"Mr. Yi."

Su Xiaoxiao patted Yan Yimo's shoulder beside him.

"Huh?"

"What can we do on Christmas Eve? How did you live before? ”

"Before..."

Yan Yimo took off his glasses and thought about it seriously, "When I was in college, I always went home or traveled. Since I came to New York, I haven't lived much. It's just a few friends getting together to chat and eat. Nothing special. ”

"Ah, that's it," Su Xiaoxiao was a little sympathetic to Yan Yimo before, there were no interesting activities on Christmas Eve, "Then this year, I'll take you out to wave!" ”

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say this arrogant sentence stupidly, Yan Yimo curled the corners of his mouth.

"Okay."

In the next few days, Su Xiaoxiao was preparing carefully every day, eagerly looking forward to the upcoming Christmas Eve.

'On the morning of Christmas Eve, as soon as Mr. Yi opened his eyes, I would say Merry Chistmas to him; Then I'm going to cook my own and cook a big breakfast for us. Mr. Yi eats avocado toast with poached eggs, and I eat fruit pancakes; After breakfast, we will wear a couple's coat and go for a walk in Central Park hand in hand. Hopefully it can be a good day'.

Su Xiaoxiao's longing plan.

'Let Mr. Yi choose the restaurant at noon, and I will choose the dessert shop I want to go to in the afternoon. After that, on the way home in the afternoon, we went to the supermarket together to buy some ingredients for dinner. Oh yes, and the fragrant citrus candle I brought with me! Su Xiaoxiao patted the door of her head, "I almost forgot the candle I brought, hehe." Dinner was prepared by me and Mr. Yi, and it was a candlelight dinner for both of us on Christmas Eve...'

Thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Then it was December 24th.

After breakfast, he was about to go out when Yan Yimo suddenly received a call from Linda, saying that an Asian client needed him to attend a temporary meeting. Yan Yimo knew how much Su Xiaoxiao was looking forward to today's date, and he didn't even think about it, "Linda, help me get in touch and postpone all today's meetings by one day." I've got an arrangement for tonight. ”

"Mr. Yan."

Linda sounded embarrassed, "Everything else is easy to say, but this... It's an emergency meeting. Several major shareholders over there suddenly withdrew their shares, and now the company is in chaos. ”

"Oh?"

Yan Yimo's eyebrows rose slightly, "How do they want us to help them now?" ”

"I don't know," Linda replied truthfully, "but Mr. Yan, can you take the time to attend this meeting?" I'm afraid..."

Yan Yimo impatiently looked down at the information that Linda had just faxed, and was silent for a few seconds.

"Okay."

When he told Su Xiaoxiao that he couldn't accompany her to prepare dinner in the afternoon, Yan Yimo himself was a little lost. It's their first Christmas together, and it's impossible not to look forward to it.

But Su Xiaoxiao was fine, so he was depressed for a few seconds, and quickly comforted Yan Yimo optimistically, "It's okay Mr. Yi, we can still date for half a day, I'll prepare dinner by myself in the afternoon." Holding Yan Yimo's hanging hand, he said earnestly, "Do a good job!" You work hard to earn money to support your family, give me a chance to be the woman behind the successful boss! ”

After that, Su Xiaoxiao was amused by herself.

Yan Yimo patted her head and pulled her over and hugged her in his arms.

Su Xiaoxiao sensibly made him feel distressed.

The meeting is 7 a.m. Asia time and 6 p.m. New York time. After accompanying Su Xiaoxiao to the supermarket to shop, Yan Yimo returned to the study to prepare for the meeting.

Before entering the study, Su Xiaoxiao shook the water in his hand, raised the tomato in his hand, and joked with him, "You are limited to one hour to finish the meeting, otherwise I will eat it first, and I won't leave you a bite!" ”。

Waiting for Yan Yimo to enter the study with his front foot, Su Xiaoxiao turned on the timer on his mobile phone with his back foot.

Da Da

I don't know how long the time has passed, when Yan Yimo walked out of the study after the meeting, Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep on the dining table.

The candlestick on the table in front of him emitted a faint citrus aroma, and there was an unfinished glass of red wine in hand.

Su Xiaoxiao's shallow breathing came to Yan Yimo's ears, and there was a small teardrop on his thick and slender eyelashes, and Yan Yimo's heart shook when he saw it. Gently used her fingertips to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pinned the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, and stroked Su Xiaoxiao's sleeping cheeks with pity.

He bent down and carefully picked up Su Xiaoxiao. Just as she was about to put this little girl on the bed and let her sleep comfortably, Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze, tightly clasped Yan Yimo's hand that turned around to leave, and muttered, "Brother, don't go..."

"Hmm."

"Anthracene..."Su Xiaoxiao smashed her mouth and fell asleep with peace of mind. Still whispering in the dream, "I forgot to say it, Merry Christmas~"

“Merry Christmas。”

Yan Yimo held Su Xiaoxiao's hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

This is theirs, the first Christmas Eve.
