Chapter 299 Let's give it a try
On Christmas Day, December 25, San Francisco, the sky was still covered with cold rain, and the thick fog that had spread in the early morning had gradually dissipated in the morning when the sun was strong.
On Christmas Eve yesterday, the servants of the Mu family began to prepare today's decorations and other things under the instructions of the housekeeper. Since the fog is thick in the morning, this castle belonging to the name of the Mu family has been decorated with decoration. Even the courtyard and even the trees outside the courtyard are hung with many small Christmas decorations.
After the electricity is turned on, those small colored lights of different colors begin to emit a faint glow of various colors in the thick fog. Although the penetrating power is not strong, when you get closer, you can still vaguely see those Christmas lights.
When the thick fog gradually dissipated, Qin Meiyu pushed open the window of her room, and the damp smell outside came to her face. She wrapped the shawl around her body, hugged her arms tightly, and saw the trees and bushes in the courtyard, and there were many small Christmas lights hanging on the trees outside. The festive atmosphere is very strong.
Qin Meiyu, who doesn't have to go to class and has a holiday, doesn't have to get up too early, she has been taking bed as her responsibility these days, and she has to sleep in the dark every day.
In fact, she could sense that something was wrong with those great god elders recently, and they always seemed to look at her and smile meaningfully. But the point is, she couldn't read what was in their eyes. This made her feel weird, so she simply pretended to lie in bed and didn't go out to breakfast since the beginning of the holiday.
Qin Shumo, as usual, brought coffee and breakfast to her: "You won't go down for breakfast today?" It's Christmas today! How long ago have you been looking forward to Mom and Dad coming over for Christmas with us, why are you hiding instead? ”
Qin Meiyu took the coffee cup in Qin Shumo's hand, took two sips, hugged it in his hand, and sat on the sofa next to him: "Can't you see their weirdness these days?" ”
Qin Shumo put breakfast on the table in front of Qin Meiyu: "What's weird?" Don't they just look at you a few more times? Mom and Dad have seen you for so long, and they naturally want to take a few more glances when they see you! ”
Qin Meiyu pursed her lips and shook her head: "My intuition tells me that there must be something here that we don't know about!" ”
She turned her head to look outside, a little disappointed: "There is no snow here, so I miss Christmas when there is a heavy snow!" ”
Her good memories of Christmas are all related to the Qin family and Qin Shumo. Growing up, those good memories have become so precious in this rainy San Francisco.
Although since I went to aristocratic university, Christmas has basically been spent in school with Liu Yafang, Jiang Wenhao, and Zhang Lixing......
Suddenly thinking of Zhang Lixing and Jiang Wenhao, Qin Meiyu's heartstrings fluctuated, like the silent and dusty strings, which instantly sounded softly. Trying to calm himself down, he dodged the imminent change of expression on his face.
Although Qin Shumo felt a slight fluctuation in her emotions, seeing that she wanted to try to cover up the past, he pretended not to see and feel it.
"Since you want to have a snowy Christmas, why don't I take you there?" Qin Shumo proposed.
Qin Meiyu shook her head: "It's not that I want it, my parents came all the way to see me, but I went somewhere else, it's too inappropriate." If there's no snow here, there's no snow, and Christmas is just one day anyway! ”
Qin Shumo chuckled and rubbed Qin Meiyu's head: "Silly girl! ”
Qin Meiyu let him her neatly combed hair, put down the coffee cup and took two bites of breakfast, and when she felt almost seven points full, she put it down and stopped eating.
Qin Shumo frowned: "How can you eat so little?" You've been getting thinner and thinner lately! How can this work? Look at it, you can't even pinch the meat out of your face. ”
As he spoke, he gestured to pinch Qin Meiyu's face, but she turned his head and dodged it: "Brother, how old am I, I can't mess my hair at every turn, and pinch my face at every turn...... I'm not a little girl anymore, okay? ”
Qin Meiyu said this with a little indignation.
She and Qin Shumo were quite embarrassed in the first few days, she didn't know if he would be embarrassed when he saw her, anyway, she herself felt quite embarrassed.
It's just that since Mom and Dad came, they talked and laughed as usual, and the embarrassment gradually disappeared.
That day, when Qin Gongchuan and Mu Gongsui and his wife, as well as Mu Hibiscus and Qin Shumo, and the seven of them were in the hall on the first floor, she came back from outside and happened to hear them talk about some little jokes about the relationship between herself and Qin Shumo.
Qin Shumo and He Xiangxiang said while reminiscing, and they said it very hilariously. And the other five people who listened to them also listened to it with a smile on their lips.
As soon as the client came back and quietly walked to them, they found her, and they didn't say that they should avoid it, but they also said it more energetically.
Listening to them talk about those past events, I also laughed and added. Those relaxed and happy days seem to have returned to her. It reminded her of many memories that she was about to forget.
Later, she would no longer feel embarrassed to see Qin Shumo. He is her brother, the brother who grew up with her, the brother who has protected him behind him since he was a child, and the brother who loves her deeply.
Recognize these, and I'm still embarrassed!
Qin Shumo looked at Qin Meiyu, who had returned to nature in front of him, and pouted his cheeks and pouted to express his dissatisfaction with him. That's great! Seeing her look so natural, no longer like in the first few days, although she tried to restrain herself, she would still unconsciously avoid him or his eyes. Those days made him live like years.
"Yes! My little plum rain has grown up! Qin Shumo said sincerely, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I waited for her to grow up and waited so long...... In the end, I don't know if I can really enter her heart and become the man who can be with her for a lifetime.
They had joked a long time ago that she would rely on him for the rest of her life. At that time, although he was teasing her, he was shouting in his heart, he would rather she never leave his side for the rest of his life!
Qin Meiyu held the coffee cup that was only half a cup left, and looked at Qin Shumo's somewhat lonely eyes in a daze, and an inexplicable sadness suddenly surged in her heart. This kind of Qin Shumo is something she doesn't want to see. Her brother is a handsome guy who is always sunny and handsome, and loneliness is an expression that shouldn't belong to him.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Qin Shumo touched her head and stood up: "Today is Christmas, let's come down early in a while!" Everyone is lively and happy together, and it is more meaningful! ”
Just as Qin Shumo turned around to leave, Qin Meiyu suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand: "Brother......"
Qin Shumo stopped and looked back at Qin Meiyu, who wanted to speak and stopped, she seemed to have something to say to him, but she was a little hesitant. He thought for a moment, then sat back down.
He raised his hand and rubbed Qin Meiyu's head infinitely dotingly: "If you have anything to say, don't worry too much about it, just say it if you want to say it." ”
No matter what she wants to say, what kind of outcome she wants, as long as she can feel at ease, as long as she can make her happy, even if he falls into hell, it is nothing!
Qin Meiyu put down the coffee cup in her other hand, grabbed Qin Shumo's left hand with both hands and rubbed it, looking down at his hand.
These hands have been holding her little hands since she was very young, and have accompanied her all the way through several springs, summers, autumns and winters, countless times when she was afraid of grievances, and countless moments when she laughed happily.
No matter what time it is, my brother's hand is always there, as long as she turns around, his people, his hands, have been waiting there for her to take them.
Qin Meiyu looked down at Qin Shumo's ever-warm big hand, withdrew the fog in his eyes, lowered his head and said to him: "Brother, you are sunny and handsome, good at learning, gentle and gentlemanly, you have always been the male god in the hearts of so many girls, and there have been so many girls who like you and pursue you......"
Qin Shumo looked at Qin Meiyu quietly, she lowered her head, and there was a hot liquid falling in the palm of his left hand, burning his heart and making him breathe. He wanted to take her into his arms at this moment, and tell her that he didn't have to be embarrassed, he didn't have to feel sad for him, as long as she could be happy, he could do anything.
It's just that...... He can't! She finally mustered up the courage to talk to him about this, and finally was willing to face his feelings for her, and finally thought about it seriously, even if it might not turn out what he wanted, he had to wait quietly for her to finish.
Qin Meiyu finally raised her head, her eyes were still shining: "Brother, why have you always been so good and so good to me?" ”
Qin Shumo looked at Qin Meiyu's eyes full of doting, love, and distress, and his right hand touched her cheek: "Silly girl, because you are mine...... It's my little plum rain! ”
He suddenly ignored the word "sister" on his lips and directly said that she was his little Meiyu. Now that he has told her his feelings for her, and since he has decided to fight for it, he can't talk about the word "sister" all day long.
More than ten years of habits, even if it is difficult to change, you have to try to change. If she can't adapt to herself, then how can she get used to it?
Qin Shumo's face full of pampering pity gradually became blurred in front of Qin Meiyu's eyes, and the crystal that she had stored in her eye sockets fell again and fell on the back of her own hand, which shook her heart.
Qin Shumo gently wiped the tears on her face with her right hand: "Silly girl, why are you crying again?" I...... Does it upset you? ”
Did he accidentally bring back her memories? Let her fall in, and think of Zhang Lixing and Jiang Wenhao again? If so, then his sin is great.
The Mu family has been creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for her, which he can still see and feel. Although the two elders of the Mu family did not say it explicitly, he also felt the change in their attitude towards him.
Everyone is in a tacit way, and he likes the relationship now. It was as if there was an infinite possibility between him and Qin Meiyu that he had dreamed of in the past.
Including the deep thoughts and doubts that his parents sometimes felt when they looked at him, he also felt it. It's just that he didn't explain much. In the absence of any possibility of changing the status quo, he can only maintain a tacit silence.
It's just that, looking at the tears that Qin Meiyu is shedding now, he suddenly realized, is he wrong? The mistake was to be too anxious to tell her what she was thinking early!
Qin Meiyu shook her head in Qin Shumo's hesitant and self-doubting gaze, shook a few tears, and then smiled: "No! You don't! …… Brother...... Let's give it a try! ”
