On the night of Christmas Eve, the temperature plummeted, and it was unusually cold, but it was like the usual winter day in every magic capital in previous years, and there was no romantic snow.

It's a Friday, and school itself ends early - I don't know if it has anything to do with the holiday, but today it's extra early.

Xiao Yao's imaginary Christmas dinner didn't exist at all, because Yu Luying said that she was going home for dinner - you asked me to really just go to church?

He was unhappy, but he didn't show it, to be exact, he was too lazy to care, and after school, he walked out of the school gate slowly, passed by a small shop, bought fried chicken fillets for 7 yuan, and ate them while walking, and after eating, he remembered that it was Friday.

But whatever?

Can God bring my wife back?

Xiao Yao lacked confidence in this.

The High One may indeed exist, but he sits on the throne of the heavens, enjoys the worship of mankind, and turns a cold eye to the sufferings of the world, so that he does not interfere in the fate of mankind, but only treats the struggles and ups and downs of the fate doll as a good play, so as to enjoy the fun and pass the endless boring time.

Xiao Yao thought pessimistically and cynically.

Yu Bo would claim that the fellow's son, who was actually himself, would have been born for us on a cold manger on a winter night more than 2,000 years ago to see the sufferings of the world......

"After all, it's just a 33-year experience card." Xiao Yao muttered to himself.

He dismissed any plans to go to church in advance to see the manger child or talk to Yu Bo.

That is to say, Yu Bo should be the busiest time at this time, and it is really unwise to bother at this juncture.

However, Xiao Yao was not in the mood to help, so he went to a shopping mall bored.

Whether it's in the mall or along the way, there's a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.

To put it mildly, it is the melody of jingling bells wafting in the streets and alleys of the whole city.

Of course, there is a wide variety of Christmas trees of different shapes, large and small.

The Christmas decorations in the mall are even more dazzling, making Xiao Yao can't help but say "wow" when he enters the door.

The entire "Dream of the Snake" is surrounded by lights of various colors, illuminating the floor tiles, making him feel as if he is in a fairytale world.

Christmas trees adorned with colorful balls and all sorts of delicate ornaments, and shop assistants dressed in various Christmas costumes are smiling and handing out coupons in the mall.

A crowded shopping mall is noisy.

"Golden Hook Cup, Golden Hook Cup, Golden Hook on the Way......"

Isn't it supposed to be "jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell?" ”

Xiao Yao thought angrily.

The old wolf sang in the song "Music Bug": "In the bustling crowd, there is no familiar face, in a world without mirrors, will you forget your appearance?" ”

Zhu Ziqing said, "The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing."

Xiao Yao sighed and decided that it would be better to go to the church first.

When he was taking the escalator downstairs, he saw a couple of high school students clinging to each other on the elevator going up next to him.

Although the school does not wear school uniforms on Fridays, and they both wear civilian clothes, Xiao Yao still recognizes them at a glance as his own school - the woman is Wu Xufei, who has appeared in the last "dance studio" in Teacher Yao's hall, which is really free. The man is also familiar, but I can't think of more.

Just a few seconds when Xiao Yao looked at the two of them, the man nodded to him when he was about to pass by Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and quickly subconsciously nodded with the man, and then they staggered past each other.

The boy turned his head and looked at the backs of the two men for a few more seconds.

In Shen Tianyun's Internet language from the future, Xiao Yao "broke the defense".

Originally, Christmas, it is conceivable that the streets will be full of happy mandarin ducks, Xiao Yao has long been familiar with it.

But when you see someone your age, or someone you know, or, what do you say? Touching the scene and seeing people's injuries.

In fact, Xiao Yao didn't think about how to spend Christmas in 2004.

In his subconscious imagination, he would go to Yu Bo's mass with Shen Jie and Yu Luying, and then come to this "Snake Dream" shopping mall here to have a good meal.

Xiao Yao didn't deliberately do anything crooked, but in his subconscious conception, he might "lead Huang on the left and fowl on the right", and go up with the two of them from the place where Wu Xufei and the others went up.

Because the three of them can't stand side by side on the escalator, maybe Yu Luying will stand one block below herself and Shen Jie.

In the process of slowly ascending, he may be greeted with surprised and envious eyes from passers-by.

That's how things should be, aren't they?

……

Just as Xiao Yao was rushing back to school alone, in addition to his father-in-law Shen Hongsheng, he also had resentment towards Shen Jie herself.

No matter what, no matter what, you should contact me, right?

Unless your dad locks you in the basement and chains you, as long as you're still in school, even if it's a car pick up and drop off every day, you'll always find a way to contact me, right?

Even if I ask a good female classmate in the class to send me a text message and make a phone call?

But it's really tied up in the basement, right?

Do you want to ask Liang Yanan again? ……

Don't.

Xiao Yao suddenly thought that he had called that Zhou Xiaoying several times, but no one answered.

Shen Jie's phone has not been turned off or stopped during this time, but has remained unanswered, no matter how many public phones Xiao Yao has changed.

Why is that?

Xiao Yao couldn't ride for a hundred tears - no, he couldn't figure it out.

By the time he arrived at the Sacred Heart Church in Iesu, opposite the school, it was less than 20 minutes before the so-called midnight mass began.

Although the ion night is still far away, but in this country, in the magic capital, it is like this.

As mentioned earlier in this book, the Sacred Heart Church of Iesu, which Yu Bo was in charge of as the "abbot", was actually very small, and it was already overcrowded at this time, and the latecomers could only stand at the back.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, regretting that he had to go to the "Snake Dream" shopping mall.

I'm afraid that Christmas Mass will not take more than two hours, and the punishment station will be too hard.

Fortunately, Yu Luying saw him, stood up slightly, and bent her hand towards him.

Xiao Yao hurriedly walked over, sat down in the place occupied by Yu Luying with the Bible, and then politely greeted Yu Luying's parents.

It's so good, Xiao Yao thought.

Although the parents are separated, at least they can get back together.

What about those two in my family......

Xiao Yao's thoughts drifted wildly, and this situation reminded him of the turning point in his relationship with Yu Luying on Christmas Eve last year.

On that day, Yu Luying, at the instigation of her uncle Yu Bo - ah no, persuasion, said "Merry Christmas" to herself, ending the months-long hostility.

Xiao Yao suddenly thought that there seemed to be a ceasefire between the two armies on Christmas Eve in history, and soldiers went to each other's camps to eat meat and drink wine.

The end of the story here is indeed a warm Jesse, but it's a pity that in the real world, they still have to fight each other after that, you live and die.

Xiao Yao sighed secretly.

Yu Luying is also very cute today.

Her jet-black hair hangs straight down behind her back, a pure white thin down jacket on her upper body, a pair of black denim bell bottoms, green and white sneakers, because she is sitting, you can see the socks between the trouser legs and the upper, which are white at first glance, and pink when you look closely, they are very thick woolen socks, and there are small pompoms hanging on the back of the two feet and necks.

The above is just an objective description, Xiao Yao did not have the heart to observe so carefully. He covered his mouth, bent down and lowered his head, and whispered to Yu Luying:

"After Mass, go?"

"It's too late......" The girl subconsciously gave a refusal to speak, and then said, "I'll ask." ”

Then, she stretched out her head to the right and exchanged a few words with Yu Lihua and her lost husband.

"It can't be too long, it can't be too late." Finally, Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao.

"Oh." Xiao Yao shrugged.

It's like I'm begging you.

Isn't that what I'm begging you for?

Xiao Yao was thinking nonsense, and while moving his neck in all directions, he looked aimlessly.

Although his rationality has a different view, there is still a faint hope for a miracle in his heart.

Perhaps, Shen Jie will be like a little angel in this church tonight.

Then, give yourself a big hug.

Then, he saw the back of "Shen Jie" in front of his left.

！！！！

Xiao Yao's heart skipped half a beat, and then he jumped twice to make up for it.

In the congregation, the white lace veil she wore stood out.

Ever since she met Lucia at the seaside summer camp, Shen Jie has been "bewitched" by her and wears this veil at every mass.

Considering that Shen Jie told herself that this represented obedience to her husband, Xiao Yao obviously had no reason to object.

It's just that the red coat on her body has never been worn by Shen Jie.

But considering that Shen Jie is a rich man, you can never underestimate the depth of a rich man's wardrobe - Xiao Yao told himself with a hint of luck.

"Hey, hey, look at that ......" Xiao Yao's voice trembled a little as he spoke, and he touched Yu Luying's elbow.

Yu Luying raised her head, glanced at the background, and knew what Xiao Yao was thinking:

"That's Lucia."

woc.

Xiao Yao's heart sank.

This feeling is like when you are anxiously waiting for your girlfriend's message, and when your phone rings, you can pick it up and see that it is from a bear or a fish.

"Why did she come to our church for Christmas?" Xiao Yao asked with the above-mentioned annoyance, "How do I remember that she is not from the Demon Capital?" ”

"Came to find my uncle," Yu Luying then lowered her voice, "She also joined the organization." ”

"Organization", yes, there is no doubt about it, Xiao Yao thought.

After all, she showed amazing potential in the "Battle of the Beach" in the summer camp, breaking Salome's shield with the purity of her heart, defeating Zhao Xiaomei, and saving everyone.

There is no reason why the "organization" should not absorb her, and there is no reason for her to refuse service.

"By the way, I heard," Yu Luying continued to suppress her voice and said, "Luzia's fortress, Luzia, it seems that there is another ability to detect true vision, why don't you wait for the Mass to end and ask her......"

The Roman saint who was blinded by the stabbing gained the ability to detect, yes, this is very reasonable, Xiao Yao thought.

"Why didn't you say it earlier," Xiao Yao said, "However, can it also be used in the real world?" ”

Yu Luying was about to reply, "Ask," but the congregation was already standing up one after another.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying also hurriedly stood up and looked back towards the door of the church following everyone's gaze.

From the door of the temple walked in a long procession, led by a priest in red and white robes, holding a hanging stove, shaking at the "Holy Child" while slowly retreating, the second was Yu Bo wearing a white sacrificial cloak and holding the "Holy Child" in his hand, followed by a group of people holding long, thick candles holding a long golden cross, and at the end of the procession were the members of the choir.

In the sound of the piano chanting in the hall and the congregation's singing of "Come, Sect Master Believers", Xiao Yao's heart gained a very short period of peace.

As soon as the mass ended, Xiao Yao impatiently walked to Luzia's side, but she was still kneeling on the kneeling stool and closed her eyes and prayed, Xiao Yao waited patiently for almost a quarter of an hour, and everyone in the hall was almost gone, and she finally opened her eyes behind the big round glasses.

"You ask me Shen Jie?" Lu Jiya pushed his big round glasses: "What is the test, she is still in the city's seven girls, we have always been in contact." ”

“？？？” Xiao Yao, who heard the news, couldn't react at once whether he should be sad or happy: "Why didn't I stop her after going so many times?" ”

"There are three gates in their school," Lucia said of course, "you won't just wait at the gate. ”

"Of course I know that there are three doors," Xiao Yao explained, "but I see that the other two side doors are locked, and I only have one person, I can't help it-"

"If you have a lock, you have a key, so you can call two more friends to keep an eye on it for you." Lucia lifted her glasses again.

"No," Xiao Yao was anxious: "Can she have a mobile phone to contact the outside world?" Then why didn't she contact me? ”

"Who knows what a girl thinks?" Luzia blinked: "I don't get involved in your affairs." ”

Xiao Yao was about to speak again, but he heard a scream from behind him.

Both he and Lucia subconsciously looked in the direction where the screams came from.

"What's the nonsense, it's still in the church." Yu Bo reprimanded.

The person who screamed was Yu Luying, who was facing the door of the church at the moment, pointing to a girl in a green down jacket: "You, you, you ......"

What are you doing?

Xiao Yao thought strangely as he looked up and down at the girl Yu Luying was pointing at.

"Ah!!h Then, Xiao Yao shouted.

This time, Yu Bo didn't reprimand him again, and obviously, he also recognized who the girl in green was.

"Ah!!h Yu Bo screamed louder than anyone else.

“？？？？” Only Lucia became more and more dazed. (End of chapter)
