Vol 2 Chapter 37: Christmas Eve

The end of the game with 　　 means that this year’s Christmas holiday will officially begin. Alex, Holiday and others were very happy. Americans pay special attention to festival culture, and they almost always spend their time dressing up to celebrate. Not to mention Christmas, which is so important to them, is probably the same as the Chinese New Year.
　　 Usually, before Thanksgiving is over, these eager Americans will buy pine trees, and then hang lights, ornaments, Christmas socks and other things by themselves. During the Christmas season every year, the United States is the busiest, and the local customs and culture can be most vividly displayed. The original American culture also has a special flavor.
　　 Los Angeles has a more lively and festive atmosphere than other cities in the United States. In addition to a pleasant climate, there are also rich and varied entertainment activities. Rose parade, light show, outdoor ice rink, Hanukkah family carnival...
　　Like the Chinese New Year, December 25 is not a busy day. After all, most people have to spend time with their families at home. The most lively time is "Christmas Eve" on December 24 and "BoxingDay" on December 26.
　　 The Christmas party prepared by Tang Xiaoru and her friends is scheduled for Christmas Eve.
　　 An Luo refused the invitation of Alex, Holiday and others. He knew what these guys would do, but An Luo was not interested now.
　　 In fact, he is also not very interested in parties. But this year there is an extra Tang Xiaoru in his life, so everything is different.
　　 An Luo went to buy a present for Tang Xiaoru in advance. It is a candy gift box with various candies, such as fruit flavors, milk flavors, soft candies, etc., because Tang Xiaoru likes sweet things, and candies are her favorite. He also bought a flower, um, a rose! As for why I bought one, I don't know.
　　 Tang Xiaoru had been waiting for him for a while when An Luo packed up and appeared downstairs in the girls' apartment. They made an appointment to go to the party together.
　　 An Luo handed the gift to the other party with some embarrassment, and then stood there at a loss. He has no experience in giving gifts to girls.
　　 "Thank you! Xiao Luo." Tang Xiaoru smiled happily, and then said to An Luo: "Wait for me!"
　　 About 5 minutes later, Tang Xiaoru appeared in front of An Luo again.
　　 "Let's go!"
　　 Then, the two walked side by side towards the small auditorium where the Christmas party was held. When they arrived at the auditorium, many people had already arrived.
　　 The small auditorium is not big, and it probably can hold three or four hundred people. But the scene was very lively, and it felt like there were no fewer people than when Anlo played at Pali Stadium. These international students from the north and south of the motherland are surrounded by two to five. The parents are short and the atmosphere is particularly good.
　　 "Hey! An Luo!"
　　 "Where is it? I'll ask him to sign it!"
　　 "An Luo! I heard that you are familiar with the capital of Shu? Me too! Wait for a few words!"
　　 "Me too! Me too! Haha!"
　　……
　　 It seems that there are quite a few people who know An Luo. It can be seen that the sports atmosphere in the United States still has a considerable impact on these international students. If this is replaced by domestic students, An Luo may be embarrassed to sit with these schoolmasters.
　　 But now, he is like a star. He thinks this feeling is pretty good.
　　 Tang Xiaoru saw this guy moving towards the crowd and grabbed him. Then he dragged him and walked towards the backstage, like that, for fear that he would run away.
　　 came to the backstage and saw the gift boxes with a lot of scenery at first glance.
　　 "These are all for food, and I will give it to everyone later."
　　 An Luo picked up one, opened it and looked at it, and it was amused.
　　 These delicately packaged boxes contain apples. Eating apples on Christmas Eve is a unique Chinese understanding of this foreign festival. Americans do not have the custom of giving away apples on Christmas Eve. Chinese people love to be auspicious during the holidays. Apple means peace and safety! There are more interesting things in China, such as eating dumplings.
　　 But, if you eat apples, you can eat apples. Why use such exquisite packaging and gift boxes? Isn't it unnecessary?
　　 Tang Xiaoru brought An Luo backstage, which has something to do with these apples. They need to give this pile of gift boxes to every international student attending the party. Men are naturally required to do hard work. Fortunately, there are still several young men, otherwise An Luo will be busy enough.
　　 After sending out the gift box, An Luo found a place to sit down. As for Tang Xiaoru, she is one of the hosts of this evening party, so naturally she is not with An Luo. The programs of this Christmas party were rehearsed by these international students themselves. Most of them are singing, modern dance, and sketches, which An Luo finds very boring. Fortunately, the crosstalk and double reeds at the back are not bad~EbookFREE.me~ The content is also quite interesting, and the whole auditorium is full of joy.
　　 But An Luo's eyes were always on Tang Xiaoru. Tang Xiaoru, dressed in a white evening gown, is just like a lady who walks out of the movie, elegant, calm and decent. An Luo was fascinated by the intellectual beauty of Tang Xiaoru, who had faded away from the greenness of the little girl.
　　 The party did not last long. After all, such a beautiful night shouldn't stay in this small auditorium.
　　 An Luo declined the invitation of the few students who had just met from the capital of Shu, and left with Tang Xiaoru.
　　 But they are in school, Tang Xiaoru may be a little tired. So they just wandered around the campus.
　　 Tonight, An Luo feels so beautiful. They stop and go, passing by the library, the teaching building...
　　 Along the way, those buildings that should have been more vicissitudes of life in the night, covered by Italian turning heads, seem to have been revitalized by the years, flashing with brilliant brilliance.
　　 Finally, they stopped at Dixon Square surrounded by oak trees. These lush oak trees are quite old. But the lights tonight made them young too, looking colorful and beautiful.
　　 They sat down on the wicker chairs, An Luo liked to listen to Tang Xiaoru talking about his past, as if he was involved in it himself. Of course, they also talk about the present and the future. Tang Xiaoru is a sentimental person. Her future is romantic and warm, which makes An Luo very yearning.
　　Until the bell of the church in the distance rang, the two of them walked towards Tang Xiaoru's apartment again along the way they came. But when he went back, Tang Xiaoru felt a little depressed.
　　 An Luo could see it, but he didn't understand: Didn’t you always do well tonight?
