Chapter 16: An Unpeaceful Christmas Eve
In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve, Qin Xue specially arranged a minibus to pick up and drop off, and Yu Yang and Xiaojing joined the team of the birthday celebration army in this way.
The men and women in the car were dressed up to attend a Christmas carnival, and many people in the car excitedly depicted the appearance of Qin Xue's palace-like mansion, and were talking lively, when someone suddenly said: "Yu Yang, haven't you been there?" Tell us about it. ”
In response to such a sudden question, Yu Yang could only hurriedly reply: "No, don't talk nonsense!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaojing awkwardly, the last time he came, he only dropped by to send Qin Xue back, and he didn't go in, but obviously he was still a little weak-hearted.
When the car drove into the door of the community, you could hear the exclamations one after another. The villa area is located halfway up the mountainside, and the rows of planned plots are scattered, and each house can see the sea below the mountain; When they walked into the gate of Qin Xue's house and walked through the courtyard as big as half a basketball court, they saw a house that looked shining under the dazzling lights.
In the middle of the hall is a three-story spiral staircase, and on the right side of the staircase is a white upright piano; Not far to the left of the piano is a table set up with a bright red tablecloth, on which a dazzling variety of delicacies are placed; On the right side of the piano is a fireplace with a red flame shining inside, and its periphery is wrapped in decorative strips made of pine branch colored balls, full of strong European Christmas atmosphere; In the deep corner of the living room, there is a Christmas tree of nearly two meters, which is hung with colorful lights and dazzling trinkets, and the whole house is like a Christmas cottage in a fairy tale.
For a student like Xiaojing who still needs to work and study, Qin Xue's home is completely beyond the luxury and beauty she can imagine, she subconsciously glanced at Yu Yang beside her, and her eyes were full of surprise when she saw Yu Yang.
Just as everyone was amazed while visiting, a symphony sounded in the hall, and Qin Xue wore a blue dress and walked down the stairs in style. Like a princess in a fairy tale, she attracted everyone's attention, and she looked around the crowd, and soon found the figure she was expecting in the crowd.
"Senior sister, you were so beautiful just now"
"Senior sister, happy birthday," several girls stepped forward to greet each other.
"Thank you." Seeing that everyone's gifts were exquisite and gorgeous, Xiaojing was a little embarrassed to send her own things forward. She didn't spend money on anything, but she wrote a pair of words very carefully as a gift.
"Senior sister, you can play a song for us." A couple of girls looked at the piano and said.
Someone instigated her like this, Qin Xue walked confidently like a piano, and sat down lightly on the chair in front of the piano, and then Chopin's piano music slowly flowed out of her fair, slender fingers, and the people present listened to it as if they were fascinated.
Qin Xue found the satisfaction she was expecting from the sighs of everyone. Her eyes glanced at Yu Yang, and she felt that she saw appreciation in his gaze, so she played more intoxicated and affectionate.
After Qu Bi, several boys also took out the gifts they bought, and Zhang Qi took them to Qin Xue on behalf of Zhang Qi. A few older boys didn't plan to buy gifts, and they felt awkward, but they felt that it was not appropriate to go empty-handed, so everyone pooled money and bought a gift together to show their hearts.
"Qin Xue, this is the first time we have experienced what it means for Grandma Liu to enter the Grand View Garden!" Hou Xiaojun sighed while handing over the gift.
At this moment, Qin Xue's mother came over: "Xiaoxue, these are your classmates, welcome to you!" ”
"Hello Auntie, your family is so beautiful." If you want to say that it is still a few mouths that are the sweetest.
"Thank you, I hope you have fun here." Qin Xue's mother swept her gaze over several boys as she spoke, and when he landed on Yu Yang, she asked, "Are you Yu Yang?" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Qin Xue's mother actually called Yu Yang's name alone. They didn't know that this was deliberately arranged by Qin Xue, she had told her mother a lot of things about Yu Yang before, and asked her mother to acquiesce that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. And when his mother shouted like this, everyone naturally thought that their relationship was not ordinary.
The second monk Yu Yangzhang was confused, but he could only respond with a smile: "Yes, Auntie is good!" ”
Looking at Yu Yang's appearance, Qin Xue's mother was obviously very satisfied, so she enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled Yu Yang and said, "Xue'er's father is upstairs, I'll take you to meet him." ”
"Auntie, this, this is not appropriate." But Qin Xue's mother continued to walk forward without saying anything, and Yu Yang couldn't refute the face of the elders in person, so she was pulled upstairs by Yu Yang's mother.
Now everyone is blind, which one is singing, and Xiaojing on the side is not clear about the situation, she heard the movement and looked up, only to see Yu Yang, Qin Xue and Qin Xue's mother walking upstairs as if they were a family.
Although Yu Yang was pulling her to Qin Xue to explain it clearly, Yu Yang never mentioned what happened to them before, and if he didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't ask. And in the days after they were together, they have been very happy and happy, and this thing should have never happened to both parties.
She never thought that Tai Yang and Qin Xue had such an intimate relationship, and at this moment she felt sad about being left out.
Several girls who were close to Qin Xue every day deliberately walked up to Xiaojing and began to mutter: "You look at the attitude of the senior sister's mother, as if she is treating her future son-in-law. They are really talented women. ”
"Some people want to be Cinderella, and I don't know what means to use."
"The gap between the two is too big, and I don't know what the seniors think, I see, it's a matter of time before they separate......
"What are you talking about, it's too much." Some of the other girls couldn't take it anymore and started to stand up and speak.
Xiaojing couldn't understand why these people repeatedly provoked trouble and were aggressive like this, but she was usually kind to others. She has always thought that she is confident and optimistic, and she has never felt that there is any gap between him and Yu Yang before, but today she is compared to the white swan as an ugly duckling, and she naturally feels very uncomfortable.
She didn't want to continue listening to these unwarranted discussions, so she walked inside, and it turned out that there was a courtyard at the back of the living room, and there was a huge swimming pool in the courtyard, although it was cold outside, it was quiet. After calming down, she figured out that no one had to choose such a thing as family background, and in other aspects, she had never lagged behind others, so why did she make herself unhappy because of this matter.
At this time, Chen Ling was also indignant, he saw Xiaojing's loss and ridicule, but as an outsider and a boy, he didn't reason with them like a long-tongued woman. Xiaojing is such an excellent girl, how can she be measured by her family background.
He watched her walk out alone, and was thinking about whether to go to accompany her as well, when he saw someone walking out one after another beside him.
Seeing many people coming out, Xiaojing wanted to step back, but she never thought that there was a trail of water on the ground, and when she stepped on it, she didn't feel that her feet slipped backwards, and then she "plopped" and fell into the pool.
The pool wasn't deep, but for those who couldn't swim, the horror made her almost forget to shout. She fluttered nervously, and several girls who came out at this time were frightened, and they were about to enter the door to shout, when they saw Chen Ling rushing out quickly, they pounced in the pool.
At this time, Yu Yang finally ended the incomprehensible greetings, walked down the stairs, and when he heard the movement outside, he heard the sound and followed out. saw Chen Ling helping Xiaojing to sit by the cold pool, she was soaking wet, looking so weak and helpless.
Looking at this sudden everything, Yu Yang's face turned pale with fright, he quickly took off his coat, draped it on Xiaojing's body, touched her cold cheeks, and asked in a trembling voice, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
Xiaojing didn't speak, but looked up at him weakly. He anxiously picked her up and hurried out. He didn't care about anyone, his heart was full of self-blame and guilt at the moment, it was he who didn't protect her, he made her so embarrassed.
Everyone standing in the hall watched Yu Yang walk out with Xiaojing on his face, full of concern and worry, his eyes were only locked on her, and he didn't even glance at Qin Xue.
Seeing this, Qin Xue's parents naturally understood the relationship between the two, Qin Xue's father pulled down his face and walked away silently, and Qin Xue's mother suddenly realized how ridiculous and ridiculous her behavior just now was. At this time, she was obviously in a dilemma, as the master, she should have told them to change into dry clothes and go out, but she still chose to be silent.
Qin Xue looked at her father and mother, the previous spring breeze on their faces was gone, and the words of praise they had just said to Yu Yang fell back on her face like a slap in the face. Her heart hurt as if it had been slashed by a sharp sword, and despair and resentment were intertwined in her heart.
At this time, the unknown pastry chef, according to the original time, happily pushed out a three-story birthday cake from the kitchen, and people looked at Yu Yang's back and then at the cake, all of them were full of sighs.
After all, Qin Xue's mother is a person who has seen a big scene, and she took the opportunity to shout for everyone to eat cake in order to divert people's attention and resolve everyone's embarrassment.
The cake was so sweet, but it was a different kind of bitterness when she ate it in Qin Xue's mouth, but she was still smiling, it was about her self-esteem, this was her birthday party.
She was looking forward to tonight, but in an instant everything came to naught. The reality made her realize once again that no matter how good or good she was, Yu Yang only had Lu Xiaojing in her eyes. She was defeated, and she was defeated.
On the way, Yu Yang kept rubbing Xiaojing's body, looking at her frozen bloodless face, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times. Although Yu Yang kept trying to give her warmth, Xiaojing still felt that she was wrapped in cold, and her heart felt indescribably aggrieved and sour, and her face was mixed with water droplets and tears.
On this Christmas Eve, there were no stars or moon in the dark sky, and the cold wind blew through the trees, only to see the dead leaves falling.
