Chapter 12: Children
"After giving the gifts, we should also leave, I said a long time ago, if there is any difficulty, come to me directly, I will give you some money, but why don't you come to me?" Henry Bacon took out a few gold coins from his bosom and put them in the nun's hand: "Get some food for the children." ”
The nun did not take the gold coin.
"We've accepted your help many times......"
"This money is not for you, but for the children, you can take it!"
Wang Feng stood beside him and couldn't stand it, so he quickly stuffed the gold coin into the nun's hand, and turned his head to look at Henry Bacon: "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm!"
As soon as they reached the door, the nun chased after them.
"You ...... Don't you talk to the kids? ”
Henry Bacon looked at the children and shook his head: "Forget it...... I'll be back next year. ”
The nun watched the two men leave and closed the door softly.
The snow was still falling, and Wang Feng suddenly remembered Ruth's matter and hurriedly asked Henry Bacon about the time.
"What time is Henry Bacon?"
Seeing that Wang Feng was anxious, Henry Bacon couldn't help but be a little curious, stretched out his sleeve and looked at his watch: "Around eight o'clock!" Are you still in trouble? ”
"Oops...... I still have to go beforehand. ”
Wang Feng greeted and hurriedly ran away.
Henry Bacon grabbed him.
"What can you do?"
"Big deal!"
Wang Feng hurriedly broke away from his hand.
In front of the display case, Ruth had already gotten off work and was standing there waiting for Wang Feng.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and she was the only one standing there.
The light shone on her face, and she didn't know if it was frozen or for some other reason, but her face was a little red.
"Ruth ......"
Ruth turned her head to look over.
Wang Feng was panting against the wall, and Santa's beard was already crooked.
"What are you...... Santa Claus? ”
Ruth couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, because there is something, so I will delay, otherwise I will ......" Wang Feng ripped off his beard.
"It's okay, I didn't have to wait long, let's go get something to eat first!"
"Okay."
The two walked side by side on the deserted streets, not knowing what to say.
It took a long time of silence for Ruth to break the embarrassment.
"You're not from Manhattan, are you?"
Wang Feng nodded and then looked at Ruth, at this moment his heart suddenly stopped, and his breathing became rapid.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ruth was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Wang Feng like this, and lowered her head.
"I didn't ...... It's just so pretty. ”
Wang Feng coughed to ease his gaffe.
"A friend asked me to come over, and I might have stayed here for a while and then left. That's right...... Christmas is just a few days away, so I wish you a Merry Christmas. ”
"Christmas! So Santa Claus, what do you want to give me? Ruth jumped in front of Wang Feng and stretched out her hand: "After all, this dress can't be worn in vain." ”
Wang Feng looked at the costume he was wearing and laughed: "It's a pity that Santa Claus didn't prepare a gift, by the way, can you dance?" ”
Ruth shook her head.
"How about I teach you how to dance?"
Wang Feng stretched out his hand.
"Absolutely...... But first, I'm stupid. ”
Ruth placed her hand on Wang Feng's hand.
Wang Feng put his arm around Ruth's waist: "Wait a minute, I take a step back, you take a step forward, treat me as a mirror, and you can do whatever I do." ”
"Good...... This was the first time I danced with Santa Claus......"
The two danced in the snow.
They looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Countless fragments drifted out of Wang Feng's realm of thought and surrounded them.
The whole world seemed to stand still, and Ruth looked at Wang Feng's face and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "You are really interesting...... Although it is only the first time I have met you, you always give me a sense of familiarity. Only...... It's like we knew each other before. ”
"Maybe we knew ...... before"
Many images appeared in Wang Feng's mind, and the fragments around him began to become restless.
"I loved the gift...... Thank you, Santa Claus. ”
Ruth took a deep breath and took out the pendant that the store manager had given her: "Now that the restaurant is closed, I don't have anything to give you." ”
Wang Feng took the pendant: "I like it very much." ”
"If you like it...... This is my gift of reparation, so that's it for today, I'll go first. ”
Ruth glanced at Wang Feng: "You are really interesting." ”
Then it disappeared into the snow.
Wang Feng looked at the small pendant of the reindeer in his hand and smiled slightly, and said to himself: "You are also quite interesting." ”
Suddenly, he felt as if someone was looking at him, and he jerked his head back, only to find that there was no one behind him.
"Is it my delusion?"
Wang Feng shook his head and put the pendant away, and disappeared into the heavy snow, the fragments released from the realm of thought surrounded him and slowly dissipated.
When he left, a bloated old man dressed in Santa Claus and glasses walked out of the alley.
"What kind of talent is this? How come I've never seen one? And the guy is still wearing my clothes...... emmn…… Have you seen it? ”
He turned his head to look behind him and asked, puzzled.
A huge monster with antlers in the alley shook its head.
"Alas! Recently, the industry has become more and more difficult to mix, what are these people doing to imitate me? Grab a job? ”
He sighed and took out a list from his pocket: "Let me see, who else are you going to give a gift?" Well...... The next one to give a gift is...... Wang! ”
The man patted the monster: "Old man, let's go!" ”
The monster nodded.
He climbed onto the monster's back, the monster looked up to the sky and let out a long roar and then exuded a strange brilliance, the snowflakes began to slowly gather, wrapping them into a ball, the strange brilliance was gradually covered by the snowflakes into pure white, the surrounding air was filled with a smell of cream, and the bells on the monster's body were also shaking constantly, the street lights suddenly all went out, and when they were restored, there were no more of them in the alley.
Wang Feng yawned and looked at the sky, the snow had stopped, and a vast bright moon hung on it, and at this moment, he saw a behemoth flashing from the moon.
He quickly rubbed his eyes: "Is it my delusion?" ”
Before he could recover his senses, the scene around him began to become illusory again, and the trees seemed to come to life, constantly hugging him, and the smell was so disgusting that he almost didn't vomit.
"That feeling is coming again......"
Wang Feng only felt that he had a splitting headache.
A pair of black leather shoes came into his sight......
