At the end of December at the end of the year, familiar Christmas songs have begun to be played in the streets and alleys, and Christmas ornaments can be seen everywhere; some stores have elk sculptures, and the trees in the yard are hung with colorful lights, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

The climate in City Q has not yet reached its peak, and the crowds are still raging. Santa Claus standing on the side of the street is distributing candies, and people in scarves and coats pass by each other in a hurry.

"Little Zhuzi, happy Christmas Eve, Mommy and Dad mailed you a gift yesterday, and it should arrive before tomorrow morning. It's your favorite little dress." Wen Yujie on the tablet said.

Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao couldn't go home due to work reasons, so they chose to make a video call with Xiao Yu. The two couples in the video seemed to be in harmony with each other, a match made in heaven.

"Mummy, Daddy, happy Christmas Eve! Thank you for the gifts." Xiao Yu sat on the sofa with a plush doll in her arms.

Her smile was innocent and innocent, "Mommy, have you prepared socks yet?"

Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao were puzzled, "Why are you preparing socks?"

Xiao Yu: "Because Grandpa Christmas is going to give us presents, and we have to hang the socks at the end of the bed so that Grandpa Santa can see them tonight." She said excitedly, her smile was full of anticipation.

She has always believed that there will be a legend about Santa Claus riding an elk to deliver gifts at Christmas, and she is looking forward to it very much.

Wen Yujie couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that, "Fool, there is no Santa Claus in this world."

Mr. Lian Xiao was also amused, and echoed Wen Yujie's words, "That's right, Xiao Zhuzi, those legends are all lies. Even if there were, our uncle security guards in the suburbs would stop him."

"Really...?" Xiao Yu pouted and retorted weakly.

Wen Yujie laughed, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, Xiao Zhuzi will go to piano class later, won't he?" Today is Friday, and the school is on winter vacation, but the piano class will continue.

As soon as she heard the word "piano lesson", Xiao Yu's eyes lit up slightly, she nodded and said, "Yeah!" She was actually looking forward to today's arrival.

Today is Christmas Eve on the 24th.

Maybe Qiu Zixin is back.

"Then let's go offline first, Xiao Zhuzi, I love you, happy holidays." Wen Yujie blew a kiss, and Mr. Xiao waved at the side.

"I love you, Mommy, Daddy." Xiao Yu responded sweetly, the dimples were deeply sunken into the sides of her cheeks.

Xiao Yu's progress in piano learning is still very fast. In just three months, she has already mastered the basic major & minor position (key positions of major and minor keys), as well as basic notes and rests.Even Fu Meixuan praised her for being very smart.

There are several dormitory buildings in the Star Academy in the north. Some students choose to stay in the dormitory to work during the winter vacation. Today is Christmas Eve, and they seem to be holding a small party.

The piano room is soundproofed, and Xiao Yu is doing the theory (homework practice) that Fu Meixuan told her to complete. The heating is turned on in the room, and the sound of small bells and the sound waves of people singing and singing come into the piano room through the gaps.

Xiao Yu looked at the pendant pasted on the glass door, it was a picture of a deer surrounded by flowers.She turned to look at the small clock on the table.

Most of the time has passed, and she has not seen Qiu Zixin yet.

Xiao Yu began to worry whether Qiu Zixin hadn't come back at all.Last week, Qiu Zixin talked to her on the phone, Xiao Yu didn't ask, and Qiu Zixin didn't mention this matter at all.

She won't be happy for nothing, will she?

A series of mobile phone rings rang in the room. Fu Meixuan picked up the call, complaining slightly, "Hey, Qiu Zixin, why haven't you arrived at the North Campus yet? But Xuan has already started celebrating with everyone."

Xiao Yu paused the pencil that kept drawing musical notes in her hand.

Qiu Zi's new flight was delayed because it was a special festival, and there were alternating traffic jams, so she managed to find a taxi driver. (Didi driving was not popular in that year.)

Qiu Zixin was wearing a thick down jacket, her delicate nose was slightly red from the cold, "My flight is delayed, I sent you a message to inform you, didn't you see it?"

Fu Meixuan exited the call interface, clicked into WeChat, and saw that there were indeed, probably because she didn't notice when she taught Xiao Yu to play the piano just now.

Qiu Zixin: "The master told me that I will soon arrive at the North Campus, do you want to come out and pick me up?"

Fu Meixuan: "Really? Then I'll go downstairs and wait for you at the door."

Before leaving, Fu Meixuan inspected Xiao Yu's practice again, told her to go home after finishing the rest, and hurried downstairs.

Qiu Zixin hung up the phone and looked out the car window at the scenery that was approaching night.

She hadn't intended to come back.

But when she looks at the calendar and glimpses the Christmas tree sign, she's reminded of that promise again.

It can't be called an agreement, it can be regarded as her own unilateral promise.

Qiu Zixin rested her chin on one hand and leaned against the car window, the street lights on the road alternately passed her face.

Ever since Fu Meixuan answered the phone, Xiao Yu's pencil hadn't moved again, she "eavesdropped" on the conversation between Fu Meixuan and Qiu Zixin.

Sister Qiu is back!

She felt happier than getting a hundred lollipops.

What Qiu Zixin said that day was not just perfunctory, she really came back!

Fu Meixuan went downstairs to the gate of the college, and she saw a tall and slender figure waving to her in the halo of street lamps from a distance.

Fu Meixuan trotted for a certain distance, and stepped forward to give his old friend a hug that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Qiu Zixin: "Meishuan, you seem to have lost weight?"

Fu Meixuan's mouth was reserved, but in fact, he was laughing in his heart, "Why is your mouth so sweet? You have coaxed a lot of beauties abroad, right?"

Qiu Zixin glanced at her, "You know I'm not interested in girls."

Fu Meixuan: "I think you are not interested in human beings, are you?"

Qiu Zixin didn't bother to argue with her, so she left first, and Fu Meixuan caught up from behind with a smile, "Okay, to be serious, why did you come back suddenly? Isn't your training over yet?"

Qiu Zixin fastened the scarf around her neck, and she wore a brown coat under her down jacket with a black-collar sweater inside, which looked perfectly proportioned.

She smiled and replied, "The teacher gave me a day off. It's good to come back and see everyone. I want to spend Christmas with my mother too."

Fu Meixuan first took Qiu Zixin to a certain empty house in the north courtyard. Even though every room has soundproofing equipment, standing outside the door can still hear the happy atmosphere inside.

Fu Meixuan pushed open the door and shouted loudly, "Look which beautiful woman is here!?"

The students inside were all beating the drum box and shaking the hand bells to sing. They shouted in surprise when they saw a new partner and Fu Meixuan joining them, not to mention that the other party was a beautiful woman.

"Welcome beauty!"

"Where did the goddess come from!?"

Someone even whistled.

Fu Meixuan rolled her eyes aside, "Can't you see another 172 beauty standing next to her!?" Her words immediately made everyone laugh, and Xie Ke stepped forward and pulled her back to his side.

Qiu Zixin took off her down jacket and put it aside, smiling awkwardly but politely, "Hi, I'm Qiu Zixin, happy Christmas Eve everyone." She lifted the two bags in her hand.

"I prepared a small Christmas gift for everyone. I hope you don't dislike it." Qiu Zixin took out exquisite small packages from the bag, which contained various cookies, and she distributed them to each student one by one.

Most of the people present were students from the Star Academy in the north. Knowing that the other party was a senior and also knew the prince of the academy, she was young and beautiful, and no single man would be tempted by it.

"Senior Qiu is so beautiful, are you single? Do you want to consider me?" A boy who didn't know what to do was teasing her in the crowd.

Qiu Zixin calmly raised his right hand to show the public, the ring around his ring finger shimmered slightly, "I'm engaged."

Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, everything was blue, red, purple, and white.

"I'm joking~" Qiu Zixin pouted with a smile.

"Cut~" Everyone pursed their mouths, "Senior sister still makes such jokes!"

Gu Beichen defended Qiu Zixin, "Don't embarrass Zixin." His eyes turned to Qiu Zixin.

Qiu Zixin met his eyes and greeted him with a polite nod and smile.She glanced down at the time on her wrist.

7 points.

Gu Beichen was very happy that Qiu Zixin was able to come back this trip. He stepped forward to talk to Qiu Zixin, hoping to use this night to let each other develop further.

Although Qiu Zixin said that she likes women, scientists have found that most girls are bisexual, that is to say, she still has a chance.

"Zixin, it's rare that you can come back tonight, why not us..."

Before Gu Beichen could finish speaking, Qiu Zixin interrupted Gu Beichen apologetically, "Sorry, Beichen, I have someone else to meet and come back later."

Gu Beichen: "Who?" His heart suddenly thumped, afraid that Qiu Zixin might have a lover?This time I came back to meet my girlfriend/boyfriend! ?

A lot of strange thoughts popped up in his mind.

Qiu Zixin answered Gu Beichen with a smile, "A kid who is also a student of your academy, Xiao Yu."

"Oh, then you go first." Gu Beichen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not a man or a woman, it's a child.

Xiao Yu had finished theory exercises long ago, but she didn't want to leave yet, she lay on the table and watched the minute hand move slowly.

She was quite looking forward to Qiu Zixin's return, but Qiu Zixin hadn't appeared until now.

Did she forget herself?

Xiao Yu was so depressed that she could hang a bottle of water with her pencil pursed.

Just when Xiao Yu was worrying about whether she should go out and look for sister Qiu Qiu, someone lightly touched her head, "Little one, do you miss me?"

Xiao Yu looked up, and a living Qiu Zixin was standing behind her.She was greatly surprised, "Sister Qiu, you are back!"

"You didn't lie to me!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.

Qiu Zixin's eyes became softer when he heard this sentence. Sure enough, this kid was really waiting for her, and choosing to come back was the right decision.

At least she fulfilled her promise.

"Happy Christmas Eve, Xiao Yu." Qiu Zixin reached out and poked Xiao Yu's dimple.

"Happy Christmas Eve!" Xiao Yu showed her white teeth, she just got new baby teeth.

Qiu Zixin knew that it was already Xiao Yu's get out of class time, she asked: "Xiao Yu, would you like to go out with me and enjoy the snow scene?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yu smiled, quickly packed up all the stationery, and was about to go out with her schoolbag on her back.

Qiu Zixin looked at her and couldn't help laughing. She felt that the little melon seemed to have grown a little taller after three months.

She took Xiao Yu's hand and walked downstairs with her. The two of them stood under the eaves and watched the snow scene while waiting for the driver.

Qiu Zixin was worried that Xiao Yu would catch a cold, so she tied her own scarf for Xiao Yu.Xiao Yu hid her baby fat face in Qiu Zixin's soft scarf, she blinked and looked at Qiu Zixin.

"Xiao Yu, I have a gift for you." Qiu Zixin said.

Xiao Yu didn't expect to receive a gift, her eyes sparkled with starlight, and her little thoughts of anticipation were easily discovered.

Qiu Zixin took out a square box from the pocket of his coat, "It's just a small pendant, I hope you like it." She opened the box, and there was a key ring with a musical note inside.

Xiao Yu shook her body happily, "It looks good, I like it very much, thank you sister Qiu." She took the gift and smiled at Qiu Zixin.

Sister Qiu really treats her very well.

"If only Sister Qiu was really my sister..." Xiao Yu thought to herself.

She looked up at Qiu Zixin, and felt that he was so tall and beautiful in this dress, there was no one more beautiful than her in the world!Except that Mommy might be tied with Sister Qiu.

Xiao Yu suddenly felt a little disappointed, she was too happy to receive the gift, sister Qiu gave herself a gift, but she didn't prepare anything for sister Qiu.

She pouted, Qiu Zixin didn't know what was going on in her heart, "What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"

Like a leaking ball, Xiao Yu said guiltily, "I'm sorry, sister Qiu, I didn't prepare a gift for you..."

It was only then that Qiu Zixin realized that the other party's self-blame was small, and her heart was inevitably softened. She comforted Xiao Yu, "It's okay, you don't have to give a gift, you can give me something else."

Xiao Yu tilted her head and looked up at her, "Others?"

Qiu Zixin smiled, "Yes."

"You can give me a hug." Qiu Zixin squatted down, opened his arms, and greeted the little girl in the snowy sky and gave her a full hug.

At night, the outdoor temperature dropped, and Qiu Zixin hugged the little melon in his arms, feeling very warm, and the sense of solidity was conveyed from the skin to the bottom of the heart.

The city is hustle and bustle, thousands of houses are brightly lit, and the big tree in front of the college entrance is hung with colorful neon lights. Under the starry sky, there are reflections of thousands of people.

Xiao Yu looked up at the stars in the night sky, and she felt that the stars were all blinking at her.

She asked Qiu Zixin, "Sister Qiu, will these stars fall from the sky? Should we hold up umbrellas, it will be bad if they hit us."

Qiu Zixin was amused by her childish words, but she didn't immediately break through the story of the star, she lowered her body and learned to see the world from Xiao Yu's perspective.

Qiu Zixin's eyes were filled with moonlight, and she smiled and said, "Yes, the stars will fall, but it's unlikely, so we don't need to be afraid."

"The moment the stars fall, we call it a meteor shower. Legend has it that when you see a meteor shower, all your wishes will come true."

Xiao Yu was curious about new things, "Really? The stars will fall, so does Santa Claus really exist!?"

Qiu Zixin stared at the night sky, her voice had a kind of special serenity and ethereal feeling in the dusty world, she said:

"I can't say for sure if it's true, but I'd like to believe it's true."

There are very few people who can really know the world but not the world.

She didn't want to destroy Xiao Yu's fantasy, at least when she was childish, she could retain this innocence and believe in the existence of fairy tales.

There are many passers-by on the sidewalk, and there are still a group of lonely people hidden under the bustling city. They are far away from the noisy outside world, looking for their own warmth somewhere.

No matter whether Santa Claus really exists in this world, as long as you are willing to believe, that's enough.

Year after year, until 18-year-old Xiao Yu celebrates Christmas, she still thinks about the scene of that year.

In the warm snow, Qiu Zixin held her dream and told her gently.

"As long as you are willing to believe."

Only she will patiently talk to herself when she was a child; she will not bear to see her being bullied and stand up to protect her; she will gently hold her and lead her to avoid many obstacles encountered on the road to growth.

Although Xiao Yu didn't know it at the time.

Many years later, this familiar song will still be played in the streets and alleys:

WewishyouMerryChristmas

WewishyouMerryChristmas

WewishyouMerryChristmas

And the Happy New Year
