After the meal, Gu Yi got up, took out the glasses cloth from his pocket and wiped the lenses, then put them back on, and said to Yi Qi: "If there is no accident." It was our last Christmas Eve together. ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi was inexplicably sentimental. But he only smiled at him, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Gu Yi stared at her for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

When Yi Qi was curious, Gu Yi shifted his gaze, got up, and said, "It's not too early, I'll send you back." ”

Yi Qi nodded gracefully, and then together with Cuizhu, he was sent back to the house by Gu Yi.

When the two were sent to the back door, Gu Yi stopped Yi Qi Wanxi and said, "Tomorrow, spend Christmas with me?" ”

The tone of asking is very gentle.

Yi Qi Wanxi thought of the winter five years ago, on Christmas Eve in the United States, he said to her in the heavy snow: "Christmas, let's spend it together?" ”

is also such a questioning tone, and it is also very gentle.

Unlike five years ago, this time Yi Qi Wanxi did not hesitate, and smiled happily: "Okay." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yi said jokingly: "I really hope I can see you when I wake up in the morning." Seeing Yi Qi's smile a little embarrassed, he said, "Just kidding, don't care." ”

Yi Qi's smile relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Good dream, see you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Gu Yi responded and raised his hand to signal them to enter the mansion.

The door slowly closed, and Gu Yi heard the sound of the latch sliding. He stood there for a long time, staring thoughtfully at the door.

Until the servant got out of the car, walked up behind him, and called him: "Sir? ”

Gu Yicai retracted his gaze, turned around and got into the car with the servant.

In the early morning of the next day, Yi Qi Wanxi still got up early.

Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mingzhi talked about today's winter solstice in the western country. Yi Qi Mingzhi only said that it was a festival for young people, and he didn't go with her, so he let Yi Qi Mancao be with her.

Although Yi Qi Mancao agreed, he and Yi Qi Wanxi went to Jing'an Temple Road, but they found an excuse to part ways with her.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't care. After all, she already had an appointment, and if Yi Qi was there, she might cause trouble for no reason.

Chinese architecture and Western architecture are perfectly blended, and the streets are bustling with people.

Some wore coats, some wore tunics, some wore shorts, and some wore suits. There are those who wear jackets and skirts, those who wear cheongsams and fur shawls, and those who wear dresses and fur-collared coats like Yi Qiwanxi.

The plainly dressed coachman is still busy, and the owner of the shop is still enthusiastic.

Unlike usual, today's crowd is almost all a little more happy.

Soon, Yi Qi Wanxi was seen by Gu Yi. In the first sentence of the meeting, Gu Yi asked, "Where is my gift?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she had forgotten to prepare a gift for him.

Yi Qi Wanxi instinctively reached into the bag in her hand and touched it, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry...... I forgot. ”

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little displeased, and said, "That's not good." This could be the last Christmas we'll ever have together, so how could we be without presents? ”

"Then I'm ......" Yi Qi thought about what to say, but was interrupted by Gu Yi.

"Since you didn't prepare a gift." Gu Yi leaned closer to Yi Qi Wanxi for a while, and there was a little smile in his good-looking eyes, "Then I ask you to stay with me all day, isn't it too much?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi glanced at his empty hands, spoke a little unconvinced, and said, "Didn't you prepare a gift for me?" ”

"So I'm going to stay with you all day." Gu Yi smiled brightly, even on such a cold day, it made people feel a little warm.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't say anything more, and smiled a little helplessly: "For the sake of this being the last Christmas we spent together, I won't worry about you." ”

Gu Yi's smile was a little more pleasant, and he walked side by side with her, telling about the day's arrangement.

Yi Qi listened carefully, responding from time to time, and a little emotion appeared in her heart.

It's like loss, it's like joy, there's anticipation, and there's anxiety.

Just like it was back then......

It wasn't until Gu Yi raised her arm to signal her to hold it that she came back to her senses, and raised her hand to hold it lightly with some hesitation.

Walking beside him, she turned her head to look at him from time to time, and the past kept coming back to her mind.

It's too similar, it's too familiar.

Except for the location, everything is so familiar.

It's still such a festival, and it's still him by his side.

He still has a good smell on his body, faint, refreshing.

He is still so gentle, so gentle that it makes people feel ethereal, ethereal like a dream. One can't help but wonder that such gentleness is just a joke.

Because she knew it was unrealistic, she never took his words as a joke, and she never took him as a joke.

Near noon, Gu Yi took Yi Qi Wanxi to the pre-booked restaurant to eat Christmas dishes.

Then, the two casually went shopping in department stores.

What Yi Qi Wanxi liked, Gu Yi bought. Yi Qi politely refused, and he said that it was a Christmas gift for her, which caused many shopkeepers to be happy but envious.

Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to buy something for Gu Yi, but Gu Yi said: "You accompany me to give me the best Christmas gift." ”

This stroll came in the evening. It was a little dark, the two had dinner, Gu Yi asked the maid to bring back the things he bought first, saying that he would send them to Yiqi's mansion later, and then took Yiqi Wanxi to the dance hall.

On this day, there are countless people who dance all night. It is a Western festival, but most of them are Chinese.

He took off his top hat and, gentlemanly, reached out and invited her to dance.

She took off her gloves and put them in the pocket of her coat, her fingertips touching the tips of his. He held it and landed a cold kiss on the back of her hand.

The coolness passed from the back of his hand into Yi Qi Wanxi's heart, making Yi Qi Wanxi's heart tremble slightly.

The night is getting late, but the city is not affected by the night at all, and it is still reveling.

Snowflakes dance in the wind and party with the city. The howling north wind also seemed to be touched by this atmosphere and couldn't bear to disturb it, it was a lot gentler, carrying snowflakes fluttering.

When she was ugly, I don't know if it was because of alcohol hypnosis, Yi Qiwanxi's body couldn't allow her to stay up all night like others, and she was sleepy.

Gu Yi saw that she was very tired, and was worried that she would not be able to return to Yiqi Mansion at this time, so he took her back to his residence.

The fireplace made the room very warm, and Yi Qiwanxi had a feeling about it for a long time.

The maid helped Gu Yi take off his top hat, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, and then went to sleep with Gu Yi's permission. Gu Yi

took Yi Qi Wanxi to the bedroom, Yi Qi Wanxi followed behind him, looking at his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

The bedroom door opened, and suddenly, the person in front of him stopped. Yi Qi was startled, and before he could look up at him, he had turned around.

Gu Yi put one hand around her waist to keep her balance, and the tip of one finger gently slid over her rosy cheeks.

Yi Qi raised her slightly drunken eyes and looked at him hazyly.

He lowered his eyes to her good-looking eyes and said softly, "Mistletoe."

Hearing this, Yi Qiwan was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes fell on the mistletoe hanging on the door frame, and she closed her eyes obediently.

Gu Yi slowly approached her face and stopped almost half a centimeter away from her lips. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

He was just tempting, and if she resisted, he wouldn't force it. But she closed her eyes.

The kiss is slowly hot from cold, and the aroma of wine wafts between the lips.

Her tiredness faded little by little, but her mind slowly forgot to think.

She responded to him obediently, causing his sanity to drain little by little.

When Yi Qi Wanxi felt that she was about to be completely unable to think, Gu Yi let go of Yi Qi Wanxi at the right time.

Gu Yi calmed his breath and kept his senses, looking at Yi Qi Wanxi's flushed white face who was a little short of breath. There was a little relief in his eyes, and there was also a little bitterness.

Then, Gu Yi turned around, picked a red fruit from the mistletoe, handed it to Yi Qi Wanxi's palm, and said, "You are still the same as before, you have not refused." ”

It is also because of this that he always thinks that he has a chance.

"Mistletoe, you can't refuse, right?" Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at him, and there was a lot of drunkenness and tiredness in her eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Yi was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "Yes." ”

Gu Yi's smiling eyes were a little more lonely.

It turns out that I really think too much. It turned out that she was just abiding by that traditional custom.

Christmas traditions. Anyone who stands under a mistletoe can kiss her.

Here, you don't have to follow that tradition. Gu Yi didn't say this to Yi Qi Wanxi.

"Then you know ......," Gu Yi stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Huh?" Yi Qi looked at him in confusion.

Gu Yi looked at her, and the smile that had been collected resurfaced again, but it was a little more far-fetched. He looked away, his tone still the same: "Nothing." ”

Couples who kiss under mistletoe will be happy for life. Gu Yi didn't say this to Yi Qi Wanxi.

"Oh." Yi Qi responded lightly and stared straight into Gu Yi's eyes.

Such beautiful eyes, so deep and clear. It seems to be a clear but bottomless pool, which makes people can't see through, but arouses people's curiosity.

The ambiguous temperature just now was a little high, making her mind still blank.

After just looking at those eyes for a long time, she slowly moved her gaze to his beautiful lips.

Without thinking, she reached out and gently put her arms around his neck, and he bowed his head obediently.

She stood on tiptoe slightly, rubbed her fingers into his thick, slightly curly hair, and looked up to kiss the somewhat moist lips.

For her initiative, he was a little caught off guard and couldn't help but be stunned.

Time passed little by little, and he adapted little by little.

Somewhat cool lips quickly become warm.

Softness is addictive.

It wasn't until she let go of him that he picked her up, carried her on his shoulders and turned into the bedroom, shutting the door tightly with his backhand.

In the early morning, Yi Qi Wanxi dressed up decently and sat on the sofa in the living room dignified and drank coffee. Seeing Gu Yi, who was dressed in black, walking towards him with his luggage, he looked away.

Gu Yi walked up to her and bent down to place the suitcase on the ground. Then squatted on her lap, held her left hand on her lap, looked up at her expressionless, and said, "Follow me." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi put down the coffee cup and said, "I can't go with you." ”

"But you're my woman now." Gu Yi's tone was still gentle, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Yi Qi pursed her lips, took a deep breath through her nose, exhaled softly, withdrew her hand, and said, "I am not innocent for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yi was slightly stunned, thinking of her reaction at night and the red flower on the bed sheet in the morning. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "So what?" ”

"So you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to be responsible for me." Yi Qi Wanxi was still expressionless, and her tone was a little cold.

"So I'm not going with you."

Gu Yi looked at her clean face, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll stay." ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi was obviously taken aback, looked at him sideways, frowned, and said a little angrily: "What are you doing staying?" You're not going back? ”

"I will not abandon my woman." Gu Yi looked at her with a light smile, and his tone was still the same.

Yi Qi Wanxi was stunned for a moment, and only frowned at him.

The cold light of the early morning shone on his face, making the already white face even whiter, and also making the already good-looking eyes even clearer.

After a long time, Yi Qi Wanxi compromised a little and said, "Not today, I have to at least tell my father and mother." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes were a little more happy, and he asked, "So, you agree to go with me?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi was inexplicably a little shy, so she frowned slightly and nodded her head lightly, and said, "Hmm." ”

"Then I'll ...... with you"

Knowing that Gu Yi wanted to accompany him to talk to his father, Yi Qiwan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Aren't you the morning ticket?" You're not leaving? ”

"I can wait for you later." Gu Yi's eyes were a little more innocent.

Yi Qi was dumbfounded for a while, looked at him for two seconds, frowned again, and said, "What a waste of money." You go back first, and I'll look for you later." ”

Knowing what Yi Qi Wanxi was worried about, although Gu Yi was a little surprised, he didn't focus on it, looked at her with suspicion, and asked:

"You're coming to me later?"

"You don't believe me?" Yi Qi Wanxi didn't answer the rhetorical question, with a little displeasure on her face.

Seeing that Yi Qi Wanxi looked a little unhappy, Gu Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Believe." ”

"Let's go." Yi Qi said gracefully, took the handbag on the table in front of him and got up, "I'll take you to the dock." ”

Dock.

The wind was very strong, blowing the hair under Yi Qiwanxi's hat, agitating the hem of her skirt and the hem of Gu Yi's clothes.

Gu Yi's servant brought up the things that Gu Yi had bought for Yi Qi Wanxi, and stood not far from the two, watching the two.

Gu Yi took out a delicately crafted black gold-plated fountain pen from his arms, handed it to Yi Qi Wanxi's palm, and said, "I'll wait for you." ”

"Hmm." Yi Qi pulled out a smile forcefully.

"If you don't come, I'll come back to you." Gu Yi said, raised his right hand, stroked her face, and then brushed the hair on her sideburns behind her ear, "When the time comes, I will hold a wedding with you first, and then take you away." ”

Feeling the coolness of his fingertips on his face, Yi Qiwanxi's heart ached, but he smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you." ”

"I won't lie to you either." Almost without thinking, Gu Yi blurted out.

Yi Qi's heart trembled, and she unconsciously held the pen in her hand tightly.

Gu Yi hugged her into his arms with one hand, his chin rested lightly on the top of her head, and stared thoughtfully into the distance.

After a while, Gu Yi let go of Yi Qi Wanxi, lowered his eyes to look at her for two seconds, raised his hand and gently lifted the brim of her hat, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Yi Qi Wanxi's eyes widened in shock, looked at his Adam's apple, and did not speak.

Gu Yi looked at Yi Qiwanxi, who was a little stunned, lowered his head again, and pecked her lips lightly.

Yi Qi came back to her senses, looked up, and looked at him with some panic like a frightened cat.

"Parting kiss." Gu Yi smiled lightly and explained.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't answer, just looked at him.

Then, Gu Yi turned around and got on the boat.

Yi Qi stood at the pier and watched the ocean liner slowly move away.

It wasn't until it disappeared at the junction of water and sky that Yi Qi Wanxi withdrew his gaze. Gripping the pen in his hand, with a little apology in his eyes, he said softly: "I'm sorry." ”

The sky was overcast, the wind was blowing, faintly, and the snow began to fall.
