nosy on you

concert horror

In the past, the activities of Christmas Eve were to find a bar or KTV to drink with the group of friends, and then to go home with a tired face in the morning and drag the drunk body for a whole day.

This year is finally different.

Gu Xi leaned against the bed, held up the ticket in his hand and looked at it again and again. Although he was not interested in the concert, he couldn't help being excited and looking forward to it right now.

He knows how to isolate himself, even in the loud music, surrounded by hot and pungent smoke, surrounded by familiar or unfamiliar faces hugging girls, as long as there is wine, he can easily pass time.

The only expectation these so-called "friends" had for him was the moment of paying the bill after the carnival.

When alone with Yan Jing, he can stay awake, every word and deed, even a smile is very real.

Probably because he was too happy, Gu Xi even forgot to ask him who was talking behind his back.

Li Wei?

When did the two of them meet, and what did Li Wei tell him about herself, but judging from the rigorous reaction, he probably didn't know much, and Li Wei was still very measured in some aspects.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to plan the date schedule.

A five-meter-high cone-shaped Christmas tree was erected on the small square in front of the cafe. The branches were covered with colorful lights and decorations, and the interior of the store was also colorfully and festively arranged.

Every corner of the city is filled with a strong festive atmosphere. A few days ago, Yan Jing sent a WeChat message to Qin Yan, telling her that the matter had been settled, and then started the mode of counting days like years.

He didn't expect Gu Xi to agree to the invitation without hesitation.

depressed……

Yan Jing originally thought that he would flatly refuse. After all, the person involved did not have the will. The reason was justified and sufficient. Neither party should be offended. Then he would find a time to return the ticket to Qin Yan.

Now it's all right, it's a matter of course to be a moon old man.

Christmas Eve just happened to catch up with Friday. Since the morning, he has been rigorous and has been busy. He even has to pinch the stopwatch to gobble up meals. He is going through disasters during the holidays.

After finally getting off work, he felt his bones were soft all over his body. If there was Zhang Simmons in front of him, he would fall asleep right away, but his tiredness finally gave way to his curiosity.

Yan Yan took out his mobile phone and checked the time. The Moon Lake Art Center is in the west of the city, and it takes about four to ten minutes to get there. If there is no traffic jam, it is estimated that we can arrive before 10 o'clock.

Gu Xi should have already set off, and I don't know what method Qin Yan will use to keep him.

The streets are full of shoulder-to-shoulder pedestrians. After the bus enters the station, the rigor is almost pushed up by the passengers behind. The air in the car is very poor, and everyone is squeezed together like compressed biscuits.

Fuck curiosity.

After a few more stops, the driver turned his head and yelled: "If you don't get off the bus, it will stop, and you won't be able to get on the passengers."

The car stopped and went all the way, and I felt that my two shoes were about to be trampled. The aunt next to me had been complaining endlessly since getting in the car, and almost quarreled with another uncle because of fighting for the seat.

Although it is late December, the temperature is not low.

The aunt sat down as she wished, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue, raised her head and said, "Young people nowadays really like to make troubles, what kind of foreign festival are they celebrating?"

Yan Jing held the ring and looked at her for two seconds, twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and quickly moved his gaze out of the window.

After crossing the bridge, the carriage gradually became more empty. The white toe caps of the pair of canvas shoes were printed with yellow and black patterns, and the toes also hurt badly. It was a sin to go out on such a day.

Moon Lake is actually a crescent-shaped artificial lake. The art center is built by the lake, and its appearance is quite unique. From a distance, it looks like a huge white lotus flower blooming by the lake.

The Christmas tree on the square is taller than the one in front of the cafe. Many tourists gather around to take selfies or group photos, and they don’t know whether they are taking pictures of the tree or the crowd.

Yan Jing walked to the door and looked at the program schedule. In addition to the concert, there was also a stage play in the auditorium on the right at the same time. At the moment, the audience was queuing up to enter the venue in an orderly manner.

He went behind the flower bed on the left and lit a cigarette, then craned his neck to peek into the queue.

Not long after, Gu Xi came out from the elevator in the underground parking lot. He was wearing a light beige baseball jacket and denim jeans. He looked very energetic and handsome. He must have been well-dressed before going out.

After standing in the crowd for 2 minutes, he took out his phone and poked it a few times, followed closely and then heard the notification tone.

- I'm here, where are you.

Do you want to reply?

Yan Jing stared at the screen and hesitated for a while, when someone behind him suddenly called him.

"Xiao Jin, why are you here too..." Qin Yan appeared beside the flower bed in a disembodied manner, "You came with Gu Xi?"

"No, no..." Yan Jing couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a long time, so he quickly changed the topic, "He sent a WeChat message asking if I arrived, what should I say?"

Qin Yan's long purple silk dress was shining brightly under the street lamps. Perhaps because she felt that the dress was too solemn, she put a white windbreaker on her shoulders, and her long hair was all gathered to the right.

This fucking is going to walk the red carpet.

"You're so stupid..." Qin Yan approached with a smile, "Just say you'll be there soon, let him go in and wait."

"Oh..." Yan Yan replied to the message according to her instructions, put away the phone and asked without giving up, "How do you plan to explain to him, I'm afraid you two will have a quarrel on the spot."

"You don't need to worry about this..." Qin Yan waved her hand impatiently, "Go back first, don't let him find you."

Gu Xi looked at the news in the WeChat dialog box and clicked his tongue, and followed the crowd into the art center. The seat number on the ticket was the VIP seat on the second floor, and he could clearly see the entire stage.

Yan Jing usually has to shop around even to pick a dish, he never thought that a stingy person like him would be willing to spend a lot of money on such an expensive ticket, it is indeed a bit unexpected.

The seat next to it was always vacant, and 5 minutes before the opening, Gu Xi clicked on the address book, and was about to make a desperate call to Yan Jing, when he felt someone sitting next to him before his fingers touched the number.

"You fucking walked here!" Gu Xi cursed in a suppressed voice, and was stunned the moment he raised his head.

"I've been waiting for a long time..." Qin Yan handed over a bottle of mineral water, then glanced at him twice, "I thought you would dress up more formally, if I knew I would wear casual clothes too."

"Why are you..." Gu Xi opened his mouth in surprise, then glanced at the entrance again, "Where's the rigor?"

"He can't come because he has something to do, so he gave me the ticket." Qin Yan said.

"Fart!" Gu Xi glared at her, feeling that his hair was burning with anger, "He told me just now that he would be there soon, and then turned around and gave you the ticket, who would believe it?"

"Don't be so excited..." Qin Yan explained softly without changing her face, "It was he who offered to match us up, and he was afraid that you would not agree, so he came up with this idea."

"He's not as thoughtful as you..." Gu Xi sneered, "Have you looked for him?"

No wonder Yan Jing has been out of his mind all day recently, and his eyes are always evasive when looking at him. It turns out that such a good show has been arranged behind his back, which is to treat him like a monkey.

There is no reason for this...

It's utterly abominable!

Gu Xi angrily took out her phone and opened the call interface. Before she could dial the number, Qin Yan snatched it and stuffed it into the dinner bag with lightning speed.

"What are you doing..." Gu Xi roared, "Give me back the phone!"

The lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the young girl in the front row turned around with a dark face and made a silent gesture to him, and then the sound of musical instruments rang out on the stage.

"Why didn't you tell Yan Jing that you are the young owner of Liqi Daily Chemical?" Qin Yan whispered next to his ear.

Gu Xi immediately calmed down, and frowned at her.

"Don't worry, I've kept a secret for you..." Qin Yan added, "But if you always treat me like this, I can't guarantee that you won't be able to resist telling it."

"Are you threatening me..." Gu Xi also whispered, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Listen to the music..." Qin Yan looked at the stage without looking sideways, "This is Pachelbel's Canon in D major."

Hold……

Who the hell cares if it's D major or C major, Canon or Carmen.

Gu Xi leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, clenched his fists to suppress his anger, he couldn't hear anything except the buzzing in his ears, now he just wanted to rub the other accomplice on the ground.

There is a bustling commercial street near Moon Lake. On the way to the bus station, he passed the intersection and heard "Last Christmas" playing on a speaker not far away. It is a girl's happy version that he likes very much.

This English song is very strange, the lyrics are obviously sad, but the melody and rhythm are very pleasant, as if celebrating a lost love, he hummed a few lines at the beginning along with the beat.

It probably means, I entrusted my heart to you last Christmas, but you threw it away the next day, this year, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, I will entrust my heart to someone really special...

Quite fitting.

There was a long queue outside the third store on the left, and the music was coming from the store.

Yan Yan raised his head and looked at the signboard. It turned out to be an ice room called Cold Sweetheart. This was his first visit to Moon Lake Cultural Center, but he always felt as if he had heard the name of the shop somewhere.

Thinking about it, Mu Xue has talked about the strawberry sundae and matcha ice cream in this store many times, saying that they taste very good.

Now that we have arrived at the door, let's just go in and have a taste. It is rare to meet a Christmas Eve where you don't have to work overtime, and you should treat yourself better once in a while. Tonight, I will make an exception and be extravagant.

In fact, the main reason is bitterness in the heart, and I need to eat some sweets to neutralize it.

After queuing for half an hour, when it was time to be serious, the waiter smiled and asked, "Hi, how many people?"

"I'm alone." He answered rigorously.

"Well, I'm sorry..." The waiter put away his smile and looked at him embarrassedly, "The one who just came out is a table for four, if you don't mind, can you share a table with other guests?"

"Okay." Strictness is very understanding of his difficulties, why bother to make it difficult for colleagues, as long as it is not such a weird rule like refusing to accept single dogs, he can basically accept it.

The waiter led him to a table for two in the corner.

A man sat on a seat against the wall, his face was completely blocked by a menu card in his hand, and an empty glass bowl was placed on the table. It seemed that this man had been here for a while.

"Hello..." Yan Yan greeted, "Can I share a table with you?"

"Yes, please sit down." The man continued to hold the menu card, his attitude was polite, but the voice sounded familiar, after five seconds, he lowered his arms and looked over here.

Yan Jing and him looked at each other, and then they both froze at the same time.
