A few days before Christmas, Zhong Yi had successfully completed the work assigned to her by the magazine, and there was a lot of rest time left.

The photographer's work is not as busy as he imagined, except for the work assigned by the above, he likes to edit and organize his work at home almost all day, and then submit the manuscript on time.

Originally, the editor-in-chief did not agree to her request for a temporary vacation, for the simple reason that it was approaching Christmas and there were not enough people in the club. After grinding for a long time, the editor-in-chief was reasonable, so he went down the steps: "Be sure to hand in your Christmas work, I'm sure you can do it." ”

In order not to ruin the date with Xu Huaisheng on Christmas Day, Zhong Yi was full of enthusiasm and handed over the works on the Christmas theme in this issue to the editor-in-chief for review, in exchange for a three-day long vacation.

What I like to do has always been planned and prepared, and on Christmas Eve, I booked a place in a restaurant in advance, planning to have dinner with Xu Huaisheng on Christmas night.

And I bought two movie tickets, and I could go straight to the movies after dinner.

The plan can never catch up with the change, originally said to spend Christmas together, but Xu Huaisheng had an emergency in the bank and needed to deal with it immediately, so he couldn't get out of his body to have dinner with her.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and his voice on the phone sounded extremely hoarse, and he said apologetically: "There may not be a way to accompany you to dinner, but I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and then accompany you to watch the movie played by your male god." ”

Receiving a call that he couldn't accompany her to dinner, Zhongyi was sitting in the reserved restaurant couple seat and waiting for three hours, there were many couples coming to eat in the Christmas restaurant, and there was a picture of love all around, she was alone, but it seemed ironic and absurd.

Zhongyi was very considerate of his feelings that he couldn't come, and said in a gentle voice that it was important for him to deal with the work at hand first, she was fine, she didn't have to worry about not going, and she would be at the door of the movie at half past eight.

After the waiter asked her many times euphemistically, did the friend she was waiting for come? There's a couple waiting to take a seat......

"Let's serve." Without waiting for the waiter to finish, he closed the menu with a "click", glanced up at the waiter, and gently swept it over.

The waiter stood still and didn't move, the attached embarrassed smile on his face could break through the sky, and he looked like this was a couple's seat, and you were alone, and it was not good to occupy it.

Zhong Yi elegantly picked up the water cup, took a sip, put down the water glass, and said unhurriedly with a hook on the corner of his lips: "I have booked this seat in advance yesterday, and I bought the seat with money, do you want to drive me away?" Tell your manager to come over, and I'm going to have a good talk with him. ”

The deposit for the reserved seat is non-refundable, since the money has been spent, how can it be wasted, come and come, naturally you have to eat and go back.

The waiter's face turned pale for a while, and he stammered: "I'm sorry Miss, I'll serve you food, or follow the menu you ordered yesterday." ”

In order to be in pairs, not to seem too lonely and lonely, I like to rummage through the address book, and the same-sex friends who can be contacted at the moment are either dating or can't come, and finally finally contacted the last one, and as a result, the girl "aunt" claimed that she had begun to sleep beauty sleep,

Zhong Yi pressed his temples with a single finger, resisted the urge to scold, and silently read three times that girls who don't have boyfriends are like this, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Lin Xixi, this restaurant has launched a Christmas luxury dinner tonight that you can't usually eat, and it also comes with a small gift, if you don't come, you really won't have a chance to eat it for the rest of your life." ”

She may eat it once in her life, after all, it cost her two months' salary, and the meat still hurts.

Hearing the words "luxury feast", "I can't eat it normally", "I can't have it for a lifetime", Lin Xixi "Teng" got up from the hot quilt with a hard time, and her eyes lit up: "I'll go!" I'm going!! ”

"Wait, remember to dress formally before you come. This is a high-end restaurant that does not accept bears that run out of the zoo. Zhong Yi instructed.

Lin Xixi smiled "hehe" and made an "OK" gesture, but found that Zhong Yi couldn't see it at all, and hurriedly said: "I know, I must not be ashamed for the sake of a luxurious meal, let's not talk about it, I'm going to change my clothes, and the address will be sent to me in a moment, bye." ”

Twenty minutes later, a taxi pulled up on the side of the road across from a restaurant, and Lin Xixi paid the money, wrapped herself in a coat, looked left and right at the traffic, and walked quickly to the door of the restaurant across the road.

The waiter in charge of reception at the door saw her greet her, with a standard smile on her face, and asked, "Hello, do you have an appointment?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Xixi looked confused.

"Yes, our store is only open to customers with reservations today. So miss, do you have an appointment? If you don't have a reservation, you won't be allowed to enter. ”

"I didn't, but ...... I'm here to find my friend, and she's inside. Lin Xixi probed her head to find the figure of Zhongyi, and the other party kept asking her who was her friend? Can you name it?

Just when the other party was entangled in stalking her, Lin Xixi's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhong Yi sitting by the window, and pointed to her back and said to the waiter: "See, the beautiful woman sitting in the third row by the window is my friend." ”

Without Lin Xixi's fingers, the waiter also saw that in the row by the window, there was a beautiful woman sitting in proportion to her appearance and temperament, and she put on a gentle smile and said, "I wish you a happy meal!" ”

"Hey, favor." Lin Xixi approached Zhongyi's side, patted her on the shoulder, and then sat down opposite her, took off her coat, and said, "There are really many rules in this restaurant, and I won't let you enter without a reservation." Saying that my friend is inside, I still don't believe it, am I like the kind of person who can't afford to spend here! ”

Zhong Yi glanced her up and down, and made up for it: "It's quite similar." ”

Lin Xixi suddenly looked depressed like a deflated ball. Zhong Yi couldn't bear to see her put on a "resentful" expression, which might affect her appetite next, and said with relief: "Someone said before that I can also eat ten yuan spicy tang in high-end steaks." Therefore, the little eyes you receive a little bit of contempt, compared to me, are not worth taking to heart at all. ”

Lin Xixi was even more depressed: "How do I feel, you don't look like a comforter." ”

"Ahem, you see what you don't want to eat yet, just order it, I'll treat you." Zhong Yi coughed dryly, and covered up the embarrassment on his face by drinking water.

"Why did I forget, it's Christmas, I like you not to date." Lincy cut a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth to chew and swallow.

Zhong Yi lowered his head and cut the steak on the plate, divided it into several small pieces, and when he heard Lin Xixi's question, he hooked his lips and smiled: "I'm going on a date, who invited you, the girl's "aunt", to a luxurious dinner." ”

Lin Xixi corrected her dissatisfiedly: "Stop! Remove the word "aunt", girl! This girl is twenty years old, and she hasn't had a boyfriend yet, and compared with Xu Sa's "female devil", she is obviously still a girl. ”

Xu Sa was ordered by her old man to stay in school for graduate school, but in fact, he still didn't want to step into the society too early, and he heard that this year, A University recruited a group of high-quality students, and he became an "old fritter" without hesitation, harming the innocent junior students.

Jiang Xiu got the quota of the school to send him abroad for graduate school, flew directly abroad, and also cut off contact with them.

Among the three, only Lin Xixi chose a job related to her college major and became what others called a "science girl".

After eating, the restaurant really gave them a small gift, and Lin Xixi finally came out of the blow of the "poor" and walked out of the restaurant with his favorite arm in his heart.

When taking a taxi on the side of the road, Zhong Yi raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, a little more than a quarter past eight. She withdrew her arm and said to Lin Xixi with a smile: "Xixi, I asked Ah Sheng to watch a movie, so I won't wait for the car with you." With that, he handed the small gift from the restaurant to Lin Xixi: "Merry Christmas!" ”

Lin Xixi had a look of "I understand, I understand", the first taxi stopped in front of them, Lin Xixi stepped forward and opened the back door, and said to Zhongyi: "Hurry up and get in the car, don't let Xu Huaisheng wait for a long time." ”

Zhong Yi's little face was slightly red, he smiled embarrassedly, and bent down to sit in the back seat, "Be careful on the road, remember to send me a message when you get home." ”

Lin Xixi nodded in response and waved his hand.

The taxi stopped in front of the cinema in the city center, and it was already 8:20. There are only ten minutes left before the eight and a half past that she and Xu Huaisheng agreed.

After getting out of the car, she looked around.

There is no figure of Xu Huaisheng.

Was she early?

Xin Rui said that it is normal for girls to be late during dates. But if a guy is late and makes a girl wait that long, it's not normal.

The movie ticket was bought with the help of a colleague from the magazine, and she inadvertently swiped the movie "Love Letter" starring Kashiwahara Chong on the Internet and was released in China, so she waited until Christmas and wanted to watch it with Xu Huaisheng.

The movie started early, so I bought a cup of milk tea and popcorn first, and waited for Xu Huaisheng while eating. During this period, I swiped the forums, and most of them were talking about the movies released this Christmas, and the new issue of Christmas-related magazines launched by Manye sold more than one million copies.

Zhongyi even saw the circle name "Z" she used in the top post, and some bloggers compiled her works published on the Internet into a book, introducing them one by one, most of the styles are retro and wild, and some people are even uncertain about her gender.

Probably no one would have imagined that such a photographer with a wavering style is actually a temperamental beauty in his private life.

Exited the forum, a cup of milk tea was just drunk, and the mobile phone showed that the time was half past eight, Zhong Yi stood up and looked around, but Xu Huaisheng was still missing.

She walked to the area that was not noisy and called Xu Huaisheng, but no one answered. I didn't give up, and I dialed it a second time, but no one answered.

She was stunned, thinking about what happened to Xu Huaisheng? The phone suddenly turned off unfortunately, Zhong Yi suddenly became anxious, and happened to pass by a couple next to him, Zhong Yi stopped them, and said that he really wanted to borrow their mobile phone, called her boyfriend, and asked him when he would arrive.

The man and woman glanced at each other, the boy stretched out his mobile phone, took the mobile phone Zhongyi, said "thank you", called Xu Huaisheng, waited for half a minute, and still no one answered.

Zhongyi disheartenedly cut off the phone, returned the phone to the boy, and said "thank you" again.

She comforted herself that Xu Huaisheng must be the same as her, the phone is out of battery, or someone else is already on the way, but the phone is on silent and I didn't hear it.

Standing at the entrance of the movie theater, looking left and right at the traffic and crowds.
