Santa Claus took the computer in the Angel Maiden's hand and began to announce the results of the competition.

He was not announced from the championship, but from the last place.

Lin Xi was originally quite confident, but listening to the results announced by the old man, she began to feel a little apprehensive, and she found that there were no longer a few skiers in this small villa area.

When Santa Claus announced his name and ranking, Lin Xi silently counted the number of people who had been announced in his heart, while silently praying that she and Qin Chu were the last to be announced.

When she silently counted to 38, her heart was nervous and full of anticipation.

Santa Claus paused at this point.

"Guess who's going to be the winner tonight?" The old man looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone invariably turned their gazes to Lin Xi and Qin Chu, who were clasped together. This made Lin Xi feel a lot of pressure.

If she wasn't a champion, wouldn't that disappoint the people who loved her?

"Now I announce that the champion is," Santa Claus winked mischievously at Chong Linxi and Qin Chu.

Lin Xi also subconsciously winked at Santa Claus.

"The champions are Lin Xi and Mr. Qin."

"Oh"

"Long live the goddess"

"The goddess is amazing."

People began to cheer and say hello to Lin Xi.

While Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he looked at Qin Chu with a bright smile, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Next, I will give out Christmas gifts to all the contestants." Santa Claus said.

With the old man's words, everyone looked at the Christmas car.

However, the old man took out a sandalwood box from his arms and handed it to Lin Xi.

With curiosity and excitement, Lin Xi opened the box.

I saw a pair of jade-colored jade wrenches inside, one of which was engraved with a lifelike phoenix, while the other jade wrench was engraved with a lifelike dragon.

Lin Xi liked it at first sight.

She carefully took out the jade wrench engraved with the dragon, then took Qin Chu's hand and put the jade wrench on his thumb.

Then she extended her hand to him.

Qin Chu smiled and gently took out the jade wrench engraved with a phoenix and put it on Lin Xi's hand.

The sound of people's blessings and laughter suddenly sounded all around.

Then Santa Claus instructed the two angel maidens to open the Christmas car.

People found the car full of gifts.

Santa Claus first asked the two angel maidens to distribute gifts to the contestants.

The rest of the people also received the same gift.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone went back to their homes happily.

······

More than eleven o'clock in the evening, bedroom.

Lin Xi looked at the jade wrench on his thumb, looked at the lifelike phoenix on it, and asked Qin Chu, "Husband, did you prepare this jade wrench in advance?" ”

Qin Chu stared at the jade wrench finger in his hand with a complicated expression, and said softly in a muttered voice; "This pair of jade wrenches was given to me by my father-in-law a few years ago, and he said..."

Qin Chu suddenly paused, his eyes revealing melancholy and uneasiness.

Half a month ago, Lin Xi and Qin Chu went to the capital to visit Li Jialong. When Lin Xi saw Li Jialong at that time, he was extremely thin, and almost only skin and bones remained.

She had used the Xuanfa Divine Needle to help Li Jialong administer the needle a few times, but this only allowed him to live for a while longer, and she couldn't stop the footsteps of death from approaching him after all.

Li Jialong also knew that his time was short, and he refused to be hospitalized for anything, and now he lives in the villa and only waits for death to approach day by day.

Lin Xi didn't want to see Qin Chu's sad and lost appearance, so he changed the topic. She looked at him with tender eyes and said, "Husband, do you remember what I said to you when I gave you a thousand paper cranes tonight?" ”

Qin Chu said with a somewhat complicated expression; "Let's talk about this later, I'll go take a shower before it's too early."

After speaking, Qin Chu got up and walked to the wardrobe, opened the wardrobe, took a bathrobe, and then walked towards the bathroom without looking back.

Lin Xi looked at Qin Chu's tall and straight back, his brows furrowed slightly. He didn't look like he was shy, so why did he reject her again and again?

Is it because you don't like her?

But if you don't like her, why are you so gentle and considerate to her?

Just when Lin Xi was in a daze, Qin Chu's mobile phone on the bed suddenly vibrate.

After Lin Xi saw that the caller ID was Ah Biao, her heart suddenly tightened, how could Ah Biao call Qin Chu at this time, could it be that Li Jialong's condition had worsened? Lin Xi immediately shook his head, maybe Ah Biao just wanted to call to say hello because it was Christmas tonight.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, and shouted in the direction of the bathroom: "Husband, Ah Biao called you." ”

After an interval of two seconds, Qin Chu's voice came from the bathroom; "You pick it up for me."

Lin Xi pressed the answer button, and A Biao's trembling voice came from the mobile phone: "Big brother, master, he's dying." He asked you to bring your sister-in-law to see him immediately. ”

Listening to the panic in Ah Biao's tone, Lin Xi's hand holding the mobile phone subconsciously clenched: "Ah Biao, let's come right away." ”

"Sister-in-law, please hurry up." After Ah Biao said this, a busy sound came from the mobile phone.

Lin Xi frowned. She knew very well in her heart that for Qin Chu, Li Jialong was very important, even more important than his so-called family members, if he knew that his stepfather was dying, he would be very uncomfortable.

But she couldn't hide it.

She stood up, walked to the bathroom door with a somewhat messy step, and tapped twice on the door; "Ah Biao, he called just now and said that his father-in-law is dying, let's do it immediately"

Before Lin Xi finished speaking, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Qin Chu rushed out naked, his body covered in foam.

Lin Xi subconsciously turned around and turned his back to Qin Chu.

Qin Chu didn't seem to see Lin Xi at all, he walked straight to the wardrobe, took out a set of clothes from it, quickly put them on, and dialed a number.

After Lin Xi stood in place for a while, he took out a white coat from the wardrobe and put it directly on top of the purple dress.

Two hours later, Lin Xi and Qin Chu took a private plane to the villa where Li Jialong lived.

When the two of them passed by the front hall, they saw that there were many people gathered in the front hall, and everyone's faces were heavy.

And after they noticed Qin Chu, they turned their eyes to him as if they had seen a savior. He just nodded at them and dragged her inside.

The room where Li Jialong lived was as warm as spring, but it was filled with a breath of medicine and some uncomfortable breath. It was like the Grim Reaper was hiding somewhere in the darkness of the room.

Lin Xi saw Li Xingyue, Ren Changfeng, Qin Hao and A Biao standing in the room.

Li Xingyue's eyes were very red and swollen, and her expression was extremely haggard. Although Ren Changfeng and Ah Biao didn't cry, their faces were not much better.

"Big brother, sister-in-law" Li Xingyue called, her voice hoarse.

Qin Chu patted Li Xingyue lightly on the shoulder, and then took Lin Xi's hand and walked to Li Jialong.

Li Jialong lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed.

He was much thinner than when Lin Xi saw him half a month ago, and now his whole person seemed to have only a layer of skin wrapped around his bones.

"Father-in-law" Qin Chu called lightly.

Li Jialong slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing that it was Qin Chu and Lin Xi, a glimmer of light instantly ignited in his originally gloomy eyes.
