Chapter 79 Christmas Eve

The end of the match with China 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 pay attention to dressing up to celebrate every festival.Not to mention Christmas, which is so important to them, probably just like the Chinese New Year.

Usually, before Thanksgiving is over, these impatient Americans will go to buy pine trees, and then hang lights, ornaments, Christmas socks and other things by themselves.During this period of Christmas every year, the United States is the busiest, and the local customs and culture are also most vividly displayed.The authentic American culture also has a special flavor.

Compared with other cities in the United States, Los Angeles has a more lively festive atmosphere. In addition to having a pleasant climate, there are also colorful entertainment activities.Rose Parade, Light Show, Outdoor Ice Rink, Hanukkah Family Fun...

与中国的春节一样，12月25日这一天并不热闹，毕竟大多数的人都要在家里陪伴家人。最热闹的时候是12月24日“平安夜”以及12月26日“Boxing Day”。

The Christmas party prepared by Tang Xiaoru and her friends was set on Christmas Eve.

An Luo rejected the invitations of Alex, Holiday and others. He knew what these guys would do, but An Luo was not interested right now.

In fact, he wasn't too interested in the party or anything.But this year there is an extra Tang Xiaoru in his life, so everything is different.

An Luo went ahead to buy a gift for Tang Xiaoru.It is a candy gift box, which contains all kinds of candies, such as fruit flavor, milk flavor, stuffed candy, etc., because Tang Xiaoru likes sweet things, and candy is her favorite.He also bought a flower, um, a rose!As for why I bought one, I don't know.

When An Luo packed up and appeared downstairs in the girl's apartment, Tang Xiaoru had been waiting for him for a long time.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 can probably accommodate three to four hundred people.But the scene was very lively, and it didn't feel like there were fewer people than when An Luo was playing at Paley Stadium.These international students from the north and south of the motherland gathered together in twos and fives, the parents were short-lived, and the atmosphere was particularly good.

"Hey! An Luo!"

"Where? I'll ask him to sign it!"

"An Luo! I heard that you are from Shudu? Me too! Wait for Ha'er to say a few words!"

"Me too! Me too! Haha!"

……

It seems that there are quite a few people who know An Luo here.It can be seen that the sports atmosphere in the United States has still had a considerable impact on these international students. If it were replaced by domestic students, An Luo might not even be ashamed to sit with these top students.

But now, he's like a star.This feeling, he thinks it's not bad.

Tang Xiaoru saw this guy move towards the crowd and grabbed him.Then dragged him and walked towards the backstage, like that, for fear that he would run away.

When I came to the backstage, I saw the huge pile of gift boxes at first glance.

"These are all for food, and they will be distributed to everyone later."

An Luo picked up one, opened it, looked at it, and was delighted.

These beautifully packaged boxes are filled with apples.Eating apples on Christmas Eve is a unique Chinese understanding of this foreign festival.Americans do not have the custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve.Chinese people like to look auspicious during festivals, and apples mean peace and security!There are more interesting things in China, such as eating dumplings.

However, if you eat apples, you can eat apples. Why use such exquisite packaging and gift boxes? Isn’t this superfluous!

Tang Xiaoru brought An Luo backstage because of these apples.They need to give this large pile of gift boxes to every foreign student attending the party.The hard work naturally needs boys to do it.Fortunately, there are still several young men, otherwise An Luo would be busy.

After distributing the gift boxes, An Luo found a place to sit down.As for Tang Xiaoru, she is one of the hosts of the party this time, so naturally she won't be with An Luo.The program of the Christmas party this time was rehearsed by these international students themselves.Most of them were singing, modern dance, sketches, etc. An Luo felt very boring.Fortunately, the cross talk and double reeds in the back were not bad, and the content was quite interesting, and the whole auditorium was full of joy.

But An Luo's eyes were always on Tang Xiaoru.Tang Xiaoru, who was wearing a white evening dress, was like a lady from a movie, elegant, calm and generous.An Luo was fascinated by the intellectual beauty of Tang Xiaoru, who had lost her usual little girlishness.

The party didn't last too long. After all, such a beautiful night should not stay in this small auditorium all the time.

An Luo declined the invitation of the few foreign students who had just met and also came from Shudu, and left with Tang Xiaoru.

But they were at school, Tang Xiaoru might be a little tired.So they just wandered around the campus.

An Luo felt particularly beautiful at UCLA tonight.They stop and go, passing the library, the teaching building...

Along the way, those buildings that should have looked more vicissitudes in the night covered by the Italian turn of the head seemed to be rejuvenated by the years, shining with brilliant brilliance.

Finally, they stopped at Dixon Square surrounded by oak trees.These lush oak trees are quite old.But the lights this evening made them young too, looking colorful and beautiful.

They sat down on the wicker chairs, and An Luo liked to hear Tang Xiaoru talk about his past, as if he had personally participated in it.Of course, they also talk about the present and the future.Tang Xiaoru is a sentimental person. Her future is romantic and warm, which An Luo yearns for very much.

It wasn't until the church bell rang in the distance that the two walked towards Tang Xiaoru's apartment along the way they had come.It's just that Tang Xiaoru was in a low mood when she went back.

An Luo could see it, but he didn't understand: Didn't you have been fine tonight?
