Christmas knots

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

"It's finally done! Next, when the paint arrives, apply it and let it dry. Lu Jiuchuan sat on the floor, stretched his waist and carefully put down the hammer, admiring the work in front of him, very satisfied.

It is a house-shaped kennel with a large arched door under the "A" shaped roof, and the interior is very spacious and can be estimated to accommodate three adult Lulu.

Today is Christmas Eve, two days have passed since the winter solstice, and Lulu's body is still the same, and there is no great improvement. Lu Jiuchuan also contacted Dr. Wu Xiao, but Dr. Wu Xiao said that as long as there is no runny nose, no diarrhea, and no large amount of eye droppings, there will be no problem.

Of course, Lulu didn't have any of these symptoms, but she was more sleepy, so Lu Jiuchuan also put her mind at ease. It's just that I seem to have a little cold, and I always feel weak these days, and occasionally a little nausea and retching.

Lu Jiuchuan just remembered to drink saliva, and when the whole person stood up, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his head felt dizzy. He accidentally stumbled and fell on the bed, so he simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He reached out and touched his forehead in a daze, and said helplessly: "It seems to have a little fever." ”

A person, no matter how strong he usually is, as long as he is sick and confused, that person will always feel lonely, and it will feel like he has been abandoned by the whole world. And the favorite thing for people who feel abandoned by the world is to think wildly.

Lu Jiuchuan didn't know how long he had been lying in bed, and in his light sleep, a lot of messy, hazy, and illogical pictures of the past appeared in his head, and he also thought of the Christmas agreement with Leng Qian tomorrow, and when he woke up, he touched his side and got his mobile phone. He edited a WeChat message and sent it to Leng Qian: "Lulu seems to be sick, and I seem to have a little fever." ”

When he clicked the send button, he didn't understand why he was telling Leng Qian that he was also sick, was he deliberately trying to make her worry, or did he want to run over to take care of himself?

Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Jiuchuan's mobile phone did not move for a long time. He always wakes up repeatedly in a light sleep, for fear of missing any message on his phone.

"Ding Dong~" The moment the notification of the mobile phone rang, Lu Jiuchuan sobered up, and after he opened WeChat without thinking, he saw that Leng Qian's avatar was empty, and there was no red "1" mark, only a damn spam text message.

Lu Jiuchuan threw his phone aside in disappointment, thinking that Leng Qian seemed to have evaporated in the past few days, he had a sense of foreboding. Suddenly, he picked up his mobile phone like crazy again, and dialed Qin Kai's phone, without waiting for Qin Kai to speak, Lu Jiuchuan asked eagerly: "Where is Leng Qian?" I haven't seen her for a few days, and I don't reply to her WeChat. ”

"She quit, I thought you knew!"

The answer on the other end of the phone made Lu Jiuchuan stunned, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, as if his soul had been emptied.

"Hey? Jiuchuan, are you alright? Qin Kai felt inexplicable and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, let's not talk about it yet, you're busy. ”

After Lu Jiuchuan hung up the phone, he stretched out his two hands to cover his nose and face, and let the exhaled air collide in the palm of his hand - in this way, he could hear every breath he took clearly, and only in this way would he feel better. He felt that his face was hot and his hands were cold at the moment.

"Forget it, let's take some fever medicine, it's not good to burn out your brain. I don't know how long I've been lying down, but Lulu must be hungry. ”

Lu Jiuchuan staggered to the chest of drawers, opened the drawer, took out the antipyretics, and after swallowing the water, he took out a bag of dog food from another drawer and prepared to cook for Lulu.

Lulu saw Lu Jiuchuan bring the dog food over, slowly wagged her tail twice, and called softly a few times, as if she was like a weak princess waiting for a meal, beckoning her subordinates to come and serve the food. When Lu Jiuchuan handed the bowl to Lulu's side, it couldn't wait to start eating it with relish, and it seemed that its appetite was quite good.

Lu Jiuchuan just watched Lulu eat, and his heart was filled with countless questions about Leng Qian - will we not see each other in the future? Will she not want Lulu anymore? Why did she leave......

Until the afternoon of the next day, Lu Jiuchuan didn't wait for Leng Qian's reply, at this time he forcibly supported his slightly burned body, prepared a big bowl of food for Lulu, and left the house.

At Christmas, the weather is exceptionally cold, but the cold weather can't stop the pace of Christmas merry in the slightest. Today, whether it is a street shop or a large shopping mall, beautiful Christmas trees are arranged, and some staff members are also dressed in Santa Claus costumes, singing and dancing, making the children's faces flushed with plateau red.

When Lu Jiuchuan left the garage of the mall, there was an extra set of Santa Claus outfits on the car, and a pile of beautifully packaged Christmas gifts.

At this time, Lu Jiuchuan's destination was the Linxin City Welfare Institute. He remembered that Leng Qian said that he would pretend to be Santa Claus with the dean every year after graduation, so he wanted to try his luck, hoping to meet her and ask her why she didn't say goodbye.

……

In the welfare home, Lu Jiuchuan communicated sincerely with the dean for a while, and told the dean that he was coming for Leng Qian, and the dean agreed that Lu Jiuchuan would pretend to be Santa Claus to deliver gifts to the children when they were having dinner.

When the children were halfway through dinner, a cheerful Christmas song sounded in the cafeteria, accompanied by a brisk singing, Lu Jiuchuan appeared wrapped in a bloated Santa Claus costume and dragged a huge white gift bag.

"Hello everyone, I'm Santa Claus, I'm here to give you Christmas presents!"

"Oh, yes, Santa Claus is here!" The children cheered.

“Jinglebells……”

Lu Jiuchuan was the first to come to the side of a little baby, only to see him shrink in the arms of the nursing aunt, looking at Lu Jiuchuan in a daze, and his small mouth kept agitating. Lu Jiuchuan shook his head, stroked his white beard, and made a grimace, and the little baby also laughed stupidly when he saw this, and then Lu Jiuchuan took out a small gift box and put it in the baby's swaddling clothes. Maybe it's because the fever hasn't healed yet, and wearing Santa's mustache, Lu Jiuchuan vaguely feels a little breathless.

“Jinglebells……”

When the little girl looked at Lu Jiuchuan with longing eyes, Lu Jiuchuan said to the little girl with a "kind" face that she had to smile to give a gift, and the girl laughed without hesitation. Lu Jiuchuan also happily took a gift and handed it to the little girl. The head seems to be more dizzy.

“Jinglebells……”

"Santa Claus, Santa Claus, here and here!" Following the little boy's childish voice, Lu Jiuchuan strode to his side, picked him up, and after turning around, put the little boy down with an unsteady center of gravity, and asked him to pick out the gift by himself. The boy was so happy that he took out the largest box from his bag and immediately ran aside to open it.

“Jinglebells……”

“Jinglebells……”

“Jinglebells……”

"Dean Mom Dean Mom, Santa Claus has fallen!" Hearing the anxious cries of the children, the dean hurried over.

Lu Jiuchuan danced for a long time because of a fever, and his physical strength was obviously a little exhausted, and he fainted on the ground in the infinite loop of Christmas songs. Fortunately, when the dean helped him up, he regained some consciousness and his condition was not serious.

"I'm sorry, Dean, but today you might be Santa Claus again. Actually, I had a fever today, and I can't hold it anymore. Lu Jiuchuan still wanted to apologize to the dean at this time, because he was afraid of ruining the children's interest, so he could only beg the dean to be Santa Claus again.

"It's okay, it's okay, young man, you can rest well." The dean helped Lu Jiuchuan, and his words were full of concern.

Lu Jiuchuan forced a smile, waved his hand, said goodbye to the children, turned around and left the welfare home lonely.

When he walked out of the welfare home, he found a few patches of snow floating in the sky, poignant and vicissitudes.

But he didn't go far, but leaned against the big tree not far from the welfare home, and looked at the gate of the welfare home with his eyes stupid. He wished that a familiar figure could appear there at this moment, to fulfill the promise that was not very formal.

But even if it's not a formal promise, someone will take it seriously, won't they?

The cold wind pierced Lu Jiuchuan's heart like a needle prick, and then slowly spread in his heart, spreading this chill to Lu Jiuchuan's whole body.

At this time, the snow floc had also turned into goose feather snow, accumulating more and more on Lu Jiuchuan's red Santa hat, and the Santa hat changed color after a while. When the clock quietly passed twelve o'clock, and the street lamps on the side of the street also dimmed, Lu Jiuchuan stood up, shook the thick layer of snowflakes on his body, and left here.

Christmas has become a Christmas knot in Lu Jiuchuan's heart.

In the distance, a girl with brown curly hair, clasped on her knees, crouched in the dark belt of the wall, her shoulders rising and falling with choking. She watched Santa Claus leave in the snow, tears couldn't stop flowing, and her mouth kept repeating "I'm sorry Jiuchuan, I'm sorry Lulu, I'm sorry I'm sorry".
