103 Christmas Eve
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of December. With the help of Iridium's air purification, the visible haze has disappeared, and the air quality is basically hovering between excellent.www.biquge.info The people of the imperial capital have gradually become accustomed to the scene of huge spaceships patrolling the sky like municipal sprinkler trucks, and not many people even take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
On the 24th, when the merchants on the streets and alleys put up decorations such as Christmas trees and reindeer, a festival that is not a holiday for the Chinese people, the whole city is full of atmosphere. For the connotation of this festival, the Chinese people are not interested in pursuing, and all people are just looking for an excuse to enjoy the fun, especially young men and women, who have made this festival another Valentine's Day.
A foreign festival has derived a variety of localized customs, such as giving apples, such as opening a house, which is strange and interesting, and it is also a grand spectacle.
As if to add some atmosphere to the day, in the evening the sky began to fall a few faint snowflakes, and by the time the sky was completely dark, the snow had already fallen heavily, but the temperature was not too low, and there was no bitter north wind, and the snowflakes slowly descended like feathers and spread on the ground.
Even if it is not a public holiday, because of the far-fetched festival, business in Han Jiaxue's book bar is also good, which makes the young proprietress a little busy. She wore a ponytail, wore a small apron, and did all sorts of things behind the counter. Looking at the couples coming and going, Han Jiaxue also felt a little envious. They may have to run for life, with all kinds of difficulties and contradictions, but they can fall in love peacefully and enjoy simplicity and peace.
"It's been almost a month." Han Jiaxue thought of this and was slightly distracted.
A month ago, she was still in school in San Francisco, USA, and there lived next to her senior, who she had a crush on and had a crush on, and her life was very boring and boring. It's just that this boring and boring life came to an end after the Iridium people's visit.
The ordinary and wooden senior became the head of Iridium, and he was also implicated, becoming one of the earthlings who had the closest contact with Iridium.
I didn't pass the final exam because the school was closed. He was still sent home in a spaceship, and now he stays in the book bar in the imperial capital, living another life every day. Occasionally, her boyfriend, who is the head of Iridium, will send her a message to chat, and this guy also tries to make a video for herself, but Han Jiaxue, who is a little shy, refuses.
The number of customers in the shop finally decreased, and it was not difficult to imagine where these guys would visit in the future, from the fiery expressions that danced on their faces, and the shy and welcoming attitudes of the girls.
Even the little waiter in the store came to Han Jiaxue shyly at this time: "Sister, can I get off work a little early." ”
Han Jiaxue has always been a good talker, she understandably let the little waiter leave early, leaving her own boss to close the store. She is a girl who is gentle on the outside but extremely strong and assertive on the inside, and it is difficult for her to be influenced and changed by others. Looking at the snowflakes falling leisurely outside the glass door, as well as the figures of a couple walking by on the commercial street, Han Jiaxue was also slightly pantothenic.
She took out her mobile phone, and it was not the "plastic glass plate" that Bai Zhongqi gave her, but the one she used before. I use this phone when I go out to be unassuming. There was nothing on the phone screen, which made Han Jiaxue flatten her mouth.
When she closed the shop and pulled down the roller shutter door, there was no one on the street, and the snow outside was already very thick, Han Jiaxue felt a little cold, tightened her scarf, and turned around to walk to the subway station.

As soon as she took a step, she saw a man in a long coat with a little snowflake on his head standing under the street lamp outside the store. With a smile on his face, he looked a little silly as he held a gift box wrapped in brightly colored wrapping paper.
Han Jiaxue shook her head, walked over, swept the snowflakes on his head with her little hands wearing woolen gloves, and said reproachfully, "Why don't you go in when you come." ”
Bai Zhongqi laughed and said, "I just arrived for a while, I'm afraid that the floor in your store will be dirty again, and you still need to clean it." ”
Han Jiaxue glanced at him and said, "Don't send a message either." ”
Bai Zhongqi smiled: "I want to give you a surprise." ”
Like an excited child, he held the gift in both hands and lit it up in front of Han Jiaxue's eyes, and he seemed to be showing off a little.
"Let's take it apart and take a look."
Han Jiaxue glanced at him with a pair of soft eyes, lowered her head, and took off the gloves on her hands. She reached out and touched the hand holding the box, which was not as cold as she imagined, but warmer than her own.
With a smile, she removed the wrapping paper from the outside of the box.
Inside the box is a crystal ball-like thing, the base is inlaid with gems of different colors, and there is a light source emitting from the bottom, through which the crystal ball is decorated with various colors.
In the center of the crystal ball is a flower that Han Jiaxue has never seen before, crystal clear from top to bottom, like ice and snow, and under the light of the gemstones, it also shimmers with charming colors. Each of its petals is extremely beautiful, stretching like a beautiful woman dancing, the petals swaying in the light, beautiful.
Bai Zhongqi smiled and said: "This is a real life, a plant from the distant ice and snow planet, called Yao Xuewen, but it is not the plants that we commonly use for photosynthesis, its body is composed of a silicon compound, and there are a large number of light signals in it. On their own planet, each new Yao Xue is formed, and the neighboring Yao Xue Yue transmits light signals into it, making it form a silicon-based creature that is very different from carbon-based organisms. Although we don't yet understand the meaning and other mysteries of its life, it is a very beautiful life, isn't it? ”
Han Jiaxue's eyes were intoxicated with Yaoxue's body dancing lightly in the brilliance, and she couldn't help but say: "This is really incredible, what will the planet full of such wonderful flowers look like?" ”
Bai Zhongqi shook her hand and said, "There are countless planets with all kinds of magical dreams, if you want, I can take them to see them one by one." ”
Han Jiaxue looked at him with a sly smile and said, "Take your boat that can see the stars?" ”
Bai Zhongqi laughed and said heartily: "Yes, I will build a lot of small boats, drift and drift along the Milky Way, and go to a far away place......
