The days passed, and half a month had passed since Yi Qi Mancao's birthday. The fifteenth day of the winter moon coincides with the winter solstice.

After eating the dumplings in the morning, I should have gone to the tomb to worship my ancestors. But Yi Qi Wanxi's illness has not been good, and Yi Qi Mingzhi was worried, so he didn't let her go with her.

Cuizhu went to the market to collect as usual, and when she returned, she brought a guest with her.

Yi Qiwan wore her hair in a coiled manner, wearing a plaid skirt with cotton and a black fur coat on the outside. The white plush scarf around the neck looked very warm.

Yi Qi Wanxi was sitting in the room playing against herself, and heard Cuizhu's voice: "Third Miss." ”

Hearing the sound, Yi Qi Wanxi raised her head to look at her, and saw that she hurriedly put the things she bought back into the house, and then came out again, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What fun have you encountered again?" ”

"Ugh." Cuizhu took a few breaths, "Third Miss, hurry up and go with me." ”

"Do what?" Yi Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at her with some puzzlement.

"Just follow me." Cuizhu said, turned around a little anxiously, and took a cashmere felt hat with exquisite workmanship for Yi Qi Wanxi to put on, "Don't freeze." ”

Cuizhu held up an umbrella and took Yi Qi Wanxi out of Yi Qi Mansion through the back door, leading her to a person. Then he stuffed the oil-paper umbrella into Yi Qi Wanxi's hand, and he stayed away from the two.

From a distance, Yi Qi Wanxi noticed the man in a straight black suit in the snow. When I got closer, I found that the man who put his hands in the pockets on both sides of the black tweed coat was Gu Yi.

His face was bloodless, and even his thin lips, which were not too dark, were a little pale.

Because he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his good-looking face looked very gentle and elegant.

It is precisely because of such gentleness and elegance that Yi Qi Wanxi is inexplicably distressed.

Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly and watched Cuizhu quickly walk away, leaning the umbrella over her shoulder, tilting the umbrella so that she could fully see his face.

Then he looked up at Gu Yi in front of him and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Gu Yi had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was brisk and still gentle.

The snow fell on his jet-black, oily hair, eyelashes, and black clothes. Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to cover him, and wanted to raise her hand to brush the snow off his shoulders for him.

But she resisted the urge and didn't do that.

Yi Qi Wanxi pretended to be calm, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and her eyes revealed doubt: "The day after tomorrow? ”

"It's not twenty-three today, I'll leave at twenty-six." Gu Yi's tone was still the same.

"So you're here to say goodbye?" Yi Qi asked with a slight smile.

"Huh." Gu Yi chuckled, and a cloud of white gas floated out of his mouth, which quickly dissipated in the cold air, "I thought you would go with me." ”

"My home is here." Yi Qi Wanxi still smiled lightly, trying to make her tone a little lighter, "Homesickness is too uncomfortable." ”

"Yes." Gu Yi said, looking up slightly to look away.

Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to say some goodbye to Gu Yi, but before she could speak, she heard Gu Yi's voice.

"What if I give you a home?" Gu Yi's tone was still gentle, but it was very serious.

Yi Qi Wanxi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You still like to joke so much." ”

"What if I'm not kidding?" Gu Yi looked serious, staring at Yi Qiwan's good-looking eyes, "Will you go with me?" ”

Seeing that Gu Yi suddenly turned positive, Yi Qi Wanxi also slowly smiled. After staring at him for a few seconds, he said, "You can't give it." ”

"Why?"

"Because we're friends." A pretended relaxed smile appeared on Yi Qiwanxi's face again, "And strictly speaking, our nationalities are also different.

"Really?" Gu Yi's eyes contained a little expectation, "What if I stay here?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi almost didn't think about it, and said resolutely: "You don't belong here, and I don't belong to you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yi chuckled, his smile was relaxed, but he was more disappointed: "It's the same." ”

"You'll go back the day after tomorrow." Yi Qi changed the subject, "Do you want me to send you?" ”

"As a friend, I think you should send me off." Gu Yimei smiled, "After all, you may not be able to see it in the future." ”

"Yes." Yi Qi Wanxi suddenly felt that her nose was a little sour, but she smiled toothily, pretending to be relaxed. I wanted to say something, but I coughed.

Gu Yi frowned slightly, resisted the urge to hug her into his arms, and only smiled: "It's cold outside, go back." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi raised her left hand, reached into the scarf, and pressed her index finger against the socket in the middle of her collarbone through the neckline.

The itching was slightly reduced, and Yi Qi showed a reassuring smile and said, "Hmm." ”

Then, Yi Qi Wanxi said goodbye to Gu Yi and planned to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yi again.

"Tomorrow night......" Gu Yi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh?"

"Can you have a meal with me?" The tone was still gentle, with a bit of temptation.

Yi Qi hesitated and did not speak.

Seeing that Yi Qi was hesitant, Gu Yi explained with a light smile: "Christmas Eve." ”

Yi Qi was stunned, and then remembered that tomorrow was Christmas Eve, so he smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Then the two made an appointment to see each other tomorrow and said goodbye.

Gu Yi stood in the wind and snow, watched Yi Qi Wanxi enter the mansion, smiled lightly, and then turned to leave.

His gaze was soft, his smile was shallow, and he was very helpless.

On the sixteenth night of the winter moon, that is, Christmas Eve on the 24th day of December.

Yi Qi Wanxi went out of the house accompanied by Cuizhu and arrived at the place where she made an appointment with Gu Yi.

The streets are full of Christmas and the city is very lively.

In the midst of the people coming and going, Yi Qi Wanxi and Cuizhu stood in place and looked around, but they didn't see Gu Yi.

When the two were confused, a good-looking big hand blindfolded Yi Qiwan's eyes from behind.

Yi Qi Wanxi seemed to guess who it was, she was very indifferent, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Cuizhu was startled and hurriedly looked behind her. Seeing that it was Gu Yi, he was relieved.

“Me

y Ch

istmas Eve.” A beautiful voice sounded in Yi Qi Wanxi's ears.

It's so gentle, like the sunshine of warm spring. It makes people feel comfortable and warm.

At that moment, it was as if time stood still, as if the noisy crowd was quiet, as if the howling north wind had also stopped.

It was as if the whole world was only her with him.

The past kept coming to mind in Yi Qiwanxi's mind, very distant, but very clear. It's so warm, but people can't help but cry.

It wasn't until time continued to pass, until the noise of the crowd was heard again, and until the howling north wind was felt again, that Yi Qi Wanxi slowly opened her voice and said the familiar words: "Me."

y… Ch

istmas Eve…”

Gu Yi let go of the hand that was blindfolding Yi Qi Wanxi, and at the same time handed the other hand with a box to Yi Qi Wanxi, and said with a smile: "Gift." ”

"Huh?" Yi Qi Wanxi resisted the urge to cry and chuckled, "What is it?" ”

"Open it and take a look." Gu Yi's tone was soft.

Yi Qi took it and opened it slowly. The tip of his nose was sour again, and the tears finally couldn't stop flowing. But in front of people, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Gu Yi was behind Yi Qi Wanxi, and he couldn't notice Yi Qi Wanxi's expression, so he took out another box and gave it to Cuizhu, and said, "Happy Christmas Eve." ”

Seeing that Cuizhu kept refusing, Gu Yi said again: "Thank you for taking care of Wanxi." ”

Cuizhu hesitated to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, and when she saw Yi Qi Wanxi nodding, she slowly took it and couldn't help but thank you.

"Chocolate candy." The past does not come back to mind, Yi Qi Wanxi looked down at the chocolate candy in his hand, holding back tears.

"Wanxi?" Gu Yi walked to her side and saw that her expression was wrong, so he leaned down slightly and looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Hmm...... It's okay. Yi Qi shook her head, looked up at Gu Yi's gaze, and smiled like a flower, "Thank you." ”

Gu Yi smiled slightly, as if relieved, and said, "That's good." ”

Then, Gu Yi took the two to his residence.

Push open the door with a wreath of holly branches and feel the Christmas spirit of the house. This made Yi Qi Wanxi very familiar.

Soon, Yi Qi's graceful gaze fell on the elaborately decorated Christmas tree in the living room, and then instinctively turned her gaze to see a bunch of mistletoe hanging on the door frame of the next room.

The past resurfaced in his mind, and Yi Qiwan felt a slight heat on his face for a moment.

Yi Qi Wanxi was surprised that Gu Yi would leave the day after tomorrow, but she still spent her energy doing this. It also occurred to him that he had been like this in Britain in the past, and he should be used to it. So I didn't ask more.

Just at that time, the servants in the house had already prepared the meal, and when they saw Gu Yi and Yi Qi Wanxi, they hurriedly saluted, and then retreated.

Cuizhu didn't want to disturb the two of them, so she went with the servant.

On the dining table, the candlelight is faint.

The picture is warm and beautiful, as if he is still in his home. It's like a family sitting together and having fun.

Gu Yi took off the round-framed gold-rimmed glasses, put them on the table, and smiled at Yi Qi on the other end of the table: "This is the sixth Christmas Eve we have spent together. ”

"Hmm." Yi Qi Wanxi also lowered her head to cut the steak and didn't look at him.

"I didn't think I'd be here." Gu Yi smiled calmly, but there was a lot of helplessness in it.

"You're homesick, aren't you?" Yi Qi looked up at him.

Hearing this, Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a little surprise, and then he smiled easily: "After meeting you, I feel that the place with you is home." ”

"Me?" Yi Qi Wanxi was slightly surprised.

Gu Yi didn't answer, changed the topic, and said, "My mother misses you too, lovely Va."

essa。 ”

Yi Qi Wanxi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I miss Mrs. too." ”

"Then you don't consider coming with me?" Gu Yi's tone was a bit joking.

"No, it's too far." Yi Qi smiled lightly, and her tone was relaxed, "You can help me convey my thoughts." ”

"My mother thought you would be her daughter-in-law. When I told her I was coming to you, she agreed to me. Gu Yi said, sighing lightly, "I have to think about how to deal with it when I go back." ”

"I'm sorry." Yi Qi Wanxi felt a little guilty in her heart.

She owes Gu Yi too much, and owes his family too much. But she couldn't.

She couldn't do anything but say "I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize." Gu Yi smiled softly and said in a relaxed tone, "I won't force you to do what you don't want to do." ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi slowly lowered his head and cut the steak in front of him.

"I should thank you for coming with me for Christmas Eve." Gu Yi's good-looking eyes were a little more gentle, "Why do you need to apologize?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi's movements in her hand were slightly stunned. Then my heart ached, my nose couldn't help but be sore, and my eyes were moistened with tears.
