The hymn has been sung to the last verse, and there is a rumbling sound, which is the sound of fireworks blooming.
The quiet town also became noisy at this moment, and Li Wei's eyes were full of panic, and she forcefully pushed the messy man away.
Zhao Qian whispered in her ear: "It is said that there has always been a custom in the West, saying that before Christmas, if a girl is standing under the mistletoe, the man next to her can go and kiss her, so that they can get a lifetime. Sweet love."
Li Wei only knew that Zhao Qian had taken advantage of her, and now she still used these words to prevaricate her. She said displeasedly: "The custom of is to take advantage of others, so I made up a high-sounding reason."
Zhao Qian immediately raised his hands and said: "I can swear to God, I definitely don't want to take advantage of you. In fact, if I didn't make a move just now, you are very likely to be kissed by that man." Qian pointed to the back figure who was leaving.
Then he said flatteringly: "If my behavior just now offends you abruptly, then I sincerely apologize to you."
Li Wei ignored him. She straightened her red coat and walked outside. She looked up and saw that thin snow flakes slapped her cheeks. It's snowing again!
Sure enough, Christmas is the best match with snow.
She walked slowly towards the empty place, and Zhao Qian followed. As usual, he caught Li Wei's hand and put it in his pocket to warm her.
"It looks like it's only nine o'clock, should we go find a bar again?"
"No, I'm tired after spending a day outside. It's cold, so go back to bed early." Li Wei took his hand out of his pocket, and she didn't look back: "I am wearing gloves today. "
They called a taxi and took Li Wei back to the hotel where she was staying temporarily. After getting off the car, Li Wei said goodbye to Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian couldn't bear to leave, and sincerely said to Li Wei: "Spent a day with you, probably the happiest day in my life. Although it is very likely that I will return to the original point tomorrow, I am still very happy."
"Thank you for being with me all day, and thank you for telling me a lot of things I didn't know before." Li Wei bowed slightly to him in a cautious manner.
"Awei, I am trying to get closer to you. From the past to the present, no matter where you put me now, I have been moving forward. May you have a good dream."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Good night." She turned around chicly and pushed open the glass door. The room was brightly lit and warm like spring.
The snow flakes falling in her hair just turned into water as soon as it met the heat. She walked upstairs humbly and kept going up the third floor. Light leaked from the gap in the house where I was staying. She knocked on the door, and Qiu Ci brought a cup of hot milk and welcomed her with a smile.
"I thought you weren't coming back tonight, why did you come back so early?"
"I should have come back after a day of wandering outside." Li Wei took off the white scarf and hung it on the shelf by the window. She glanced out the window, but saw that Zhao Qian was still standing under the street lamp, it was so cold outside, and it was snowing, didn't he go back?
Li Wei found that Zhao Qian was looking in her direction, and she waved her hand to Zhao Qian and signaled him to go quickly, but Zhao Qian stood there without moving. This person is almost mad at her.
Li Wei changed his shoes again and rushed out, rushing downstairs.
"It's so cold outside, why don't you go back?"
"I don't worry about leaving until you enter the room safely. You are leaving now. Take care." Zhao Qian waved to her.
Li Wei stood there watching Zhao Qian leave, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and his figure went farther and farther. She remembered the night the Emperor Xian died, and the snow fell heavily that night. When Zhao Qian, who had received a fierce letter, arrived, the first emperor had already swallowed his breath, and he was covered with snowflakes, but before he had time to wipe it, he heard the chief read the imperial decree in the Palace of Gande.
The emperor was too young to withstand major events, and she was just now busy mourning in front of the spirit. At that time, there was a little chaos in the court, and he was responsible for the trivial matters inside and out. As soon as the first emperor left, there was almost a palace change. The eldest prince was not reconciled to the throne. Taking advantage of the new funeral of the first emperor, and the young emperor’s young age, he summoned thousands of people from Shanxi to go to the funeral. Enter the forbidden city and kill their mother and son. Later, the regent discovered this anomaly in time, which made the plan of the elder prince come to nothing.
Half a month later, the people next to her quietly talked to her, and now they come back to their senses. They had quarreled over various issues at the beginning, but he had actually been standing in front of their mother and son, taking care of them.
If he really wanted to usurp the throne, he would definitely not follow all the way here.
Li Wei sneezed, only to realize that he just ran out and forgot to put on his coat. Her body was frozen, she jumped a few hard times before she moved. I went back to the hotel here.
"God, it's ten degrees below zero outside, I'm afraid it's lower than this temperature, you just went out like this. You are not afraid of cold?"
"Probably not, I just stood for two minutes." Li Wei hugged his body and got into the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly, but his body did not warm up for a long time.
Qiu Ci came over and sat beside Li Wei's bed, enthusiastically concerned about the result of Li Wei's date today.
"Today you are together all day, the relationship should be closer, right?"
"I can't say if I have taken a step forward, but the mystery that has not been solved for many years has been solved this day, and it is a gain."
Qiu Ci said enviously, "It's great, you are very happy to have such a big star's thoughtfulness?"
"Happiness?" This question was asked by Li Wei. They had known each other for so many years, no matter how far apart, he seemed to always find a way to come to her. They used to be friends and relatives. Later he became an uncle, finally became a courtier and queen mother, and finally became an enemy. When they came here, they used to be separated from the screen. At that time, she wanted to walk towards him hard. After approaching him, she wanted to define their relationship as strangers, but fate always connected them together. Today they are back to friends. Location.
Li Wei suddenly remembered the rash kiss in front of the church and the custom Zhao Qian said.
She asked Chiu Ci: "Is it a custom in the West that when a girl stands under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve, a boy will kiss her?"
Qiu Ci nodded and said, "I've heard of this custom, so you have to be very careful when you go out tomorrow..." Then she reacted immediately and asked Li Wei excitedly: "Did he kiss you under the mistletoe?"
Li Wei said embarrassingly: "The unexpected incident actually counts nothing, he just helped me out."
There is no denial, it is true. Qiu Ci was even more excited than Li Wei. She stepped forward to hug Li Wei and said sincerely: "Congratulations, I found my own happiness on this birthday."
