Chapter 457 "The Other Shore. Once Upon a Time in the Snow—12
In the car, holding Ting Dong's hand, he entered the door of Gu's house.
The black European-style hollow iron gate is like the door of the ancient palace, slowly opened, and I also started another journey of life with the slow movement of the car.
The Gu Mansion is much bigger than I imagined, and it is a little far-fetched to say that it is a villa, more like a palace castle.
I stood in front of the main villa gate, nervously holding Tingdong's hand, he bowed his head and gave me a reassuring look, and I smiled back to make him smile.
I stepped on the red stalls, through corridor after corridor, to the center of the hall.
The palatial hall is covered with ribbons and flowers, and the servants walk by with champagne and bow their heads in a proper manner.
I quietly followed behind Tingdong.
Looking at the round platform in the center of the hall, there was a behemoth covered by a red curtain, and on the side, there was a woman wearing a maple leaf red robe, and she turned around elegantly.
There were already many men and women of high society in formal suits toasting to each other, and it turned out that this was his son's birthday party.
Before I could see the woman's appearance clearly, a sudden cry of surprise disturbed the entire hall.
Wearing a black tuxedo and a red bow tie, Zhong Chun quickly ran towards me from the stairs and hugged me tightly in front of the public!
I was a little confused, and I immediately stood there at a loss.
When I came back to my senses, my hand had already been let go of Tingdong.
And Zhong Chun was a little excited, and with tears in his eyes, he thanked Tingdong, "Dad!" So you said that the surprise I was waiting for was the snow!? I love this birthday present so much! Thank you Dad! ”
Zhong Chun took my hand and said excitedly to me, who was already flustered, "I knew that Mi Xue, you must have been moved by my sincerity in the past few years, I knew that you asked your uncle and aunt to tell me that I refused, it was just a pretext, it turned out that my father had already gone to look for you in person, it was really good!" ”
I pushed Chung away from me, but a crowd surrounded us and clapped with a smile of blessing on their faces.
Tingdong walked forward in my sight, stood on the round platform, and lifted the red curtain with his own hands.
It's the piano that I bought in England.
His wife, Yulan, walked up to me amiably, spoke to me softly, and warmly brought me to meet their relatives and friends......
Throughout the banquet, Chung Chun pestered me, constantly introducing me to his domestic friends, and on the way, I excused myself to go to the toilet and leave for a while.
One person hid in a corner and waited, and after a while, Tingdong came over, and both of us were a little embarrassed.
I leaned my back against the wall and lowered my head, "Zhongchun is my junior in the UK. When he first went to England, he was not very popular, I happened to be under the flower tree at school, when I was painting and down, I bumped into someone bullying her, so I saved him once, who knew that later, Zhong Chun he misinterpreted my kindness to help others...... When we first met, you were waiting for Zhongchun at the school gate, right? It just so happened that Chung Chun went to practice in the field that week and was not at school, so you only waited for a whole week. Later, Zhong Chun came back after practicing, and you didn't go to the school gate again. Also, last winter, you went to England to find Zhong Chun, only to be ambushed by the enemy, and you were seriously injured and recuperating in my house. And Zhong Chun wrote to me that his family was missing, that person is you, right? ”
"Yes." He pulled me into his arms, "When today's banquet is over, I will find an appropriate time to clarify." ”
"Hmmm! I believe in you! ”
"And ...... Zhongchun is my favorite child and my only child. He has the same place in my heart as you do, so if I don't think about what to say, don't open my mouth yet, okay? I don't want to hurt him. ”
“…… Well. ”
The two of us staggered the time and returned to the banquet hall one after the other.
After the banquet, Zhong Chun's mother Helian Yulan led me to the back garden for afternoon tea, and Zhong Chun also took Ting Dong with him.
Helian Yulan showed me a photo album, which was full of photos of me when I was studying in the UK, riding a bicycle with Zhong Chun, the spring outing organized by the school, I won the first place in the competition, and so on.
Tingdong drank tea, inadvertently picked up the photos and looked at them one by one, and the ignorant Zhongchun told the story behind each photo with great interest on the side......
When I got back to my room in the evening, I called home and said, "Mom, I'm out of Sweden now—"
- "In the country! Looking for snow, Zhong Chun has already talked to us on the phone, the first time I go to visit someone's house, you must follow the rules, be polite and humble, you know? And ah......"
Mom and Dad have said a lot of things, so I don't know where to start.
In the next few days, I began to gradually move away from Zhong Chun, I don't like the friends I see Zhong Chun every day, they are just strangers to me, and Ting Dong seems to be very busy, every day after getting home from work, it is already night, plus Helian Yulan and his second aunt are too presence, I can only stand aside and watch from afar.
In the days that followed, I was not with his family for various reasons. I just want to wait quietly, waiting for Tingdong......
Luckily, I studied music, and I can practice every day to quit a lot of things I don't want to do.
The snow fell, melted again, dawned and darkened again......
My hands were overworked for a long time and had to rest for a while. But I still didn't wait for the best time for Ting Dong to say.
Wait, wait, wait, wait until the New Year's bell rings in your ears, and watch the fireworks that shroud the Gu Mansion in color, and disappear in the endless night sky.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was a day of family celebration, and due to the warm invitation of Zhongchun's family, I had to attend.
That night, I wore that gray-green skirt and sat alone in an inconspicuous position in the corner of the hall, drinking and drinking myself.
The hall was decorated with delicate red curtains, and colorful neon lights were tied everywhere, and the servants brought steaming dumplings, and Joong-soon happily waltzed with his mother in the center of the hall.
I threw my head up and drank the whole bottle of rum, willingly burning my internal organs with the spirits, so as to share the pain in my heart!
"Enough! You're drunk, don't drink it. ”
I watched Tingdong snatch the wine bottle from my hand, snorted and laughed, staggered to my feet, waved my hand, and said loudly, "Drunk? Tingdong, drunk people, make mistakes, will they be
