23 days before Christmas

"Are you hungry?"

"A bit."

"What are you having for dinner tonight?" Liu Yiming looked at him, all eyes were on him.

"Congee." Lin Zhixi couldn't help but frowned, "It's so unpalatable."

"Then go to supper later? Go to the back street?"

The two sat on the stone steps, like a night before.

Liu Yiming took Lin Zhixi's hand and interlocked his fingers.

"Aren't you going to have supper? Such a high profile!"

Liu Yiming raised his eyebrows, increased the strength in his hands, and said, "Just hold here for a while, and there will be nothing else to do later."

"En." Lin Zhixi squeezed her hand vigorously.

"I thought you really wanted me to get out of your life and never see each other again." Liu Yiming sighed, with some tears still on his face.

Lin Zhixi turned her head to look at him, her voice was soft: "Reluctant."

"Really reluctant?" Liu Yiming wanted to cry again, with a sore nose.

"I really can't bear it! We still have a lot of things to do together, and we haven't had time yet, how can we be willing." Lin Zhixi raised her other hand and wiped the corners of Liu Yiming's eyes and cheeks, "Okay, okay, I'm back. Don't cry."

Liu Yiming raised his head and bit his lip: "I just can't help it... I thought you wouldn't come back."

"I can't help it either. Because you have disappointed me so many times, I thought I would never be with you, an annoying person." Lin Zhixi also cried, "But Why are you so annoying! Do you think I haven't missed you for more than 20 days? I miss you so much, I'm full of you. I'm afraid you will let me..."

Before Lin Zhixi could finish her sentence, she pressed down with a kiss.

Then there was another oral exchange.

"I won't make you sad again. Absolutely not!" Liu Yiming also raised his hand to wipe away his tears, raised his finger and pointed at the night sky, "Look."

Lin Zhixi looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a cold moon in the clouds, which was hazy.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."

"The moonlight will be beautiful in the future."

Seeing Lin Zhixi's smile, Liu Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He loves seeing this boy's smile the most, it's so bright that it compares to the sunshine.

Liu Yiming leaned his head on Lin Zhixi's shoulder, tapped his lips on his face and neck a few times, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

"Go eat roasted brains?" Lin Zhixi also responded to Liu Yiming's few superficial kisses, leaving a mark on his face, "But I still want to sit here with you for a while. But it's windy up here, I'm cold again."

"Ah? It's so difficult for you to make do with you!" Liu Yiming was forced to speak in dialect.

"Cut! Then you will just let it go!" Lin Zhixi looked at him with affection in her eyes.

"My boyfriend can only be pampered. What's more, I finally got it back, so I must not lose it."

Lin Zhixi left a kiss on his forehead: "I won't lose it again, never..."

"Then let's go and eat something. It will make you warmer." Liu Yiming sat up a little bit straighter, "We will have many times like this in the future, and I will always be with you. As long as you don't dislike me."

"**, how could I dislike you."

Liu Yiming rolled his eyes, pretending to be wronged: "It's not that I never disliked it before, why pretend to be affectionate now."

"I was already affectionate, and I couldn't pretend."

"Look, it's only past seven o'clock. When others are eating dinner, let's go for supper..."

Lin Zhixi grabbed him and said, "What are you doing so much, let's go. It's so cold..."

"Wait a minute." Liu Yiming suddenly remembered that there was another important matter - quickly took out the scarf from his bag, and handed it to Lin Zhixi with trembling hands.

Lin Zhixi was stunned, took the scarf, and the emotions she had just adjusted were all overwhelmed and in a mess, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.Liu Yiming looked at him, pursed his lips, and his heart was pounding.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Zhixi's eyes were blurred with tears, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Did you weave it?"

"Otherwise, who else is there?" Liu Yiming lowered his head, "I originally thought of knitting a scarf for you, and then as a gift for breaking up, completely cut off this relationship, and then forced myself not to miss you anymore. …”

"What about now?" Lin Zhixi hugged him tightly, "Do you still want to cut it off?"

"I don't want to..." Liu Yiming bit his lip, "It was you who wanted to break up at the beginning, I had no choice. But I still can't let you go, I can't let you go at all, and I even like you more than three months ago. I Love you, I really love you."

Lin Zhixi choked with sobs: "I can't let you go either, I won't break up with you. Absolutely not..."

"Really?" Liu Yiming's face was full of tears, "I'm really scared, afraid that you will leave me. I'm so scared..."

"Don't be afraid..." Lin Zhixi looked up at him, "I will never leave you."

Liu Yiming took the scarf from him and tied it on him with his own hands, with a smile from the corner of his mouth: "It's my first time knitting, and I don't know anything. I learned it from scratch. Isn't it a bit ugly? Don't be disgusted. …”

"Why would I dislike it? It's pretty good-looking." Lin Zhixi looked at the scarf around her neck and felt warm in her heart.

"really?"

"It's really, really, really good-looking, and I like it very much." Lin Zhixi's voice was extremely gentle, with a smile.

"I'm hungry, let's go..."

The bustling back streets are as usual, especially at this time.The whole street is full of people, with stalls and carts on both sides. No matter how raging the north wind is in winter, there is no trace of coldness here. The white smoke rising from the small wonton stove and the aroma from the barbecue stalls It also seems to be golden and crimson in tone. The rice cake and potatoes are still surrounded by people as usual. Even the business of several fruit bosses is a bit deserted. They just gathered together and chatted. The owner of the egg bakery changed new equipment. , bright smile...

The two of them shuttled through the fireworks in this world, and they ate until their stomachs swelled in half an hour.

"Actually, I've been here all this time. I just wanted to meet you by chance one night." Liu Yiming looked at the boy beside him, thinking of those days when he was alone, his heart sank.

"I dare not come, I'm afraid of meeting you, I'm afraid I can't help it." Lin Zhixi seemed to have thought of something, looked at the boy who bothered him and troubled him, and smiled helplessly, "I really I really want to never see you again in the future. It was really tiring to fall in love with you before, and it was too easy to get lost and discouraged. I made up my mind that day. But for the past 20 days, without you, I really can’t live well. feeling bad."

Liu Yiming was startled, and replied with a smile: "Then let's not separate. You can't live without me, and I can't live without you. We are the most suitable for each other,"

"You said it yourself, you won't make me sad again in the future." Lin Zhixi's eyes were beating with light.

Liu Yiming quickly raised his hand, but Lin Zhixi stopped him: "I swear I don't need it."

"But I want to make you a promise..."

"Forget it, I just know it in my heart. Don't make it so weird."

"But......"

Lin Zhixi smiled and said, "Don't be a fool. Love is something that requires two people to pay each other. After going through this time, I believe you won't be like a fool again..."

Liu Yiming raised his eyebrows: "Fool?"

"You were a fool before! You can't feel any reaction from me!"

Liu Yiming scratched his head: "It seems that there is..."

Lin Zhixi suddenly stopped, grabbed Liu Yiming's hand, and looked straight into his eyes - probably this is "passionate".Goosebumps appeared on Liu Yiming's body, a little blush appeared on his face, and his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Liu Yiming, I still like you. I will always hold your hand and never let go, and you are not allowed to let go. These hands will always be here, don't be angry again, don't make me angry again! Did you hear that! "Lin Zhixi increased the strength in her hand and squeezed it tightly.

Liu Yiming was shocked by this sudden confession. Although he had made a little mental preparation just now, his mind went blank, and he just nodded foolishly: "As long as you don't let go, we will be together forever."

"I won't let go." Lin Zhixi's words were so firm, "We will always be together, forever and always, no matter what we encounter in the future, we must face it together. "

"How does it feel, it's all what I said... Isn't someone tired of hearing those 'always together', 'forever' and 'later'?"

"right......"

Liu Yiming quickly interrupted him: "No apology."

"Yeah." Lin Zhixi smiled and nodded.

Liu Yiming suddenly cursed and slapped his forehead: "Christmas today! Are you going back to the dormitory so early!"

"Yup!"

So the two chatted and laughed and walked to the nearby business district. From a long distance, they saw the Christmas tree covered with colorful lights and decorations.

"JinglebellsJinglebells..." In winter, the lights are bright and the crowds are surging, which is quite atmospheric.

The Christmas tree was full of people, Liu Yiming felt helpless: "Why are there so many people?"

"It's normal, it's Christmas."

"I still want to take a photo with you in front of the Christmas tree." Liu Yiming sighed.

"follow me."

Liu Yiming followed Lin Zhixi upstairs, and it happened that the terrace not far away was empty, with the huge Christmas tree in the background.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew over, and Liu Yiming couldn't help shivering: "It's so cold."

Lin Zhixi hurriedly held his hand, a little light flickered in her eyes—tears?

Liu Yiming's heart moved, he leaned on the railing, and his left hand fell on Lin Zhixi's shoulder, which was his favorite way to hug him in the past.

Lin Zhixi turned her head towards Liu Yiming, and their eyes met.

Liu Yiming raised his phone and tried his best to frame the two of them and the Christmas tree.The two met their heads, their lips curled into a smile, and they looked at each other affectionately.

Lin Zhixi suddenly kissed Liu Yiming down - Lin Zhixi was still the same Lin Zhixi, who liked this kind of sudden attack the most.Liu Yiming pressed the "shoot button" to keep this most beautiful moment.

"Finished?"

Liu Yiming nodded.

"Hey, my name is Liu Yiming."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Lin Zhixi." Lin Zhixi suddenly hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear,

"All I want for Christmas you."

The outburst of anger tickled Liu Yiming's heart, and he responded softly: "All I want formy whole life is you."
