On Christmas Eve, the night is lit up with lights and a joyful atmosphere โ€“ delicate Christmas trees, realistic sleigh wagons and deer, Santa Claus holding presents, and shopping streets decorated with colorful neon lights. The boisterous crowd had a smile on their faces, raising a glass or exchanging gifts with each other. No matter how I looked back, it was almost a happy scene.

But on such a day, I couldn't even be happy at all. For some reason, there was always a whispered cry in a corner of my heart.

It has been almost two years since the incident of Professor Wu, and during these two years, I have fought with Yu Bo, and although I have often been at a disadvantage, fortunately I have rescued several innocent professors from his hands.

Yu Bo's trail had been gone for four months, and the killings surrounding the professor had come to an end for the time being. I don't know if he had an accident or some other conspiracy, but he disappeared before my eyes, completely in front of me.

It stands to reason that I should be glad that without Yu Bo's life and Professor Z's future, I can live the life I want. But for some reason, the occasional walk down a certain street, and the occasional accident that happened to happen, completely coincided with some images that flashed through my mind, which made me extremely uneasy, and also made me fall into the fear of thinking......

"Char, what's wrong with you? Your face ...... It's scary. Arthur pulled me out of the labyrinth of thought, her expression worried and her eyes full of melancholy. But this melancholy was fleeting, and was soon replaced by a smile. I saw her pick up a headband with deer ears and put it directly on my head, "giggled" and laughed, "I think this suits you very well, now you are like a tamed fawn, with a hint of cuteness in your youth." โ€

"Me? Fawn? Aren't you a doe? I suddenly attacked Arthur and scratched her armpit with my hand, Arthur laughed at my scratching "haha", and fell directly on the soft sofa next to him.

The dwarf and Xiaoyu clapped their hands on the side, encouraging Arthur to "take revenge" on me. Arthur let out a sigh of relief and put his hand into my collar and tickled. I begged Arthur to let me go, but she ignored my pleas for mercy and almost fell to the ground.

The dwarf laughed so much that tears almost came out, and he raised his wine glass and urged: "Char, I can't stand watching you CP show your affection like this, you look at Xiaoyu is so big, she is already in the second year of junior high school, and you are not married yet." Either that, now I'll give you two choices: one is to ask Arthur for propose, and the other is to give Arthur to me, and you can choose for yourself. โ€

"Okay, you Zhao Xie, you are fighting Arthur's idea." As a joke, I grabbed the dwarf's head and pressed it into my arms. The dwarf was pressed by me like this, and his short limbs were even more exposed, and although he struggled desperately, his feet could not touch the ground.

This scene caused a few of us to burst into laughter, and it also made me look around at the people around me again.

yes, what the hell was I thinking? This blinking light rain is already in the second year of junior high school, and she is no longer the little girl on the uninhabited island, she has transformed into a sweet and lovely little girl, studying in a famous junior high school, and is sought after by boys; The dwarfs successfully entered Wanjie Company (that is, the company that developed the "Jiaolong Defense System") through the recommendation of Jiekeda Information Engineering Co., Ltd. and will become a regular from next week, and have the opportunity to contact its core software; Arthur, on the other hand, is different from us, she seems to be full of interest in the whole world, often traveling around the world, digging out different news and the ugliness and truth behind the news. In Arthur's eyes, the world seemed to be more attractive than mine, so we often got together less and left more, and it almost became a long-distance relationship. But I didn't care, because I knew better than anyone that no matter where we were or how far apart we were, our hearts were always connected.

And me? And me? I was the only one who remained in the same position as always, and I chose to stay at HKUST as a professor's assistant even though I had already graduated from my graduate program.

Everything is in the past. Yes, everything has changed. Whether it's Professor Z, Yu Bo, or the world...... We are truly living here, in a world with a new future.

It's time for me to let go and enjoy the gifts of this world and love the people with whom I am in the same boat.

Thinking of this, I suddenly let go of the dwarf and pretended to look into his eyes calmly: "I think Arthur I will never give it to you, I'll choose one." โ€

"Pick one? You mean......" The gnome's eyes suddenly widened, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Even more surprised than the dwarf was Arthur, who stayed aside. Her cheeks flushed visibly, and I coughed lightly twice, leaving me to go first and flee the place quickly.

Escaping the restaurant, I wandered down the street, and the name of one of the jewelry stores caught my eye, "forever". I stopped and put my head close to the jewelry store window, which was centered on a heart-shaped roulette wheel with a 1-carat diamond ring. It is so dazzling, like a dazzling pearl, illuminating the dawn of darkness.

I gently pushed open the door and walked into the jewelry store called "forever". The jewelry store is full of dazzling jewelry, and there are all kinds of jewelry and accessories. They were so dazzling, but instead of looking at them, I walked up to the clerk and asked about the price of the heart-shaped roulette 1 carat diamond ring.

After maxing out my credit card, I asked the clerk to engrave Arthur's name and my initials "A.X" on the back of the ring.

After the clerk finished carving, I excitedly stuffed the ring box in my pocket and imagined the scene of our future.

Gently I pushed the door open, just as I gently pushed the door in. But the joy in my heart kept surging, even if the sudden white goose snow covered my down coat, I didn't feel a trace of cold, only saw the beauty of this world.

I silently walked on this avenue, counting the happy people, and walked into the distance......
