The hymn has been sung to the last verse, and there is a rumble, which is the sound of fireworks.
The quiet town also became noisy at this moment. Li Wei's eyes were full of panic, and she pushed the troublesome man away from her with all her strength.
However, Zhao Qian whispered in her ear: "It is said that there has always been a custom in the West. It is said that before Christmas, if a girl stands under the mistletoe, the man next to her can go over and kiss her, so that they can have a lifetime happiness. Sweet love."
Li Wei only knew that Zhao Qian had taken advantage of him, and now he was using such words to prevaricate her. She said unhappily: "It's a bullshit custom. It's just to take advantage of others and make up a high-sounding excuse."
Zhao Qian immediately raised his hands and said, "I can swear to God, I have absolutely no intention of taking advantage of you. In fact, if I hadn't taken action just now, you would have probably been kissed by that man." Zhao Qian Qian pointed at the departing figure.
Then he said in every possible way: "If my abrupt behavior just now offended you, then I sincerely apologize to you."
Li Wei ignored him. She straightened her red coat and walked outside. As she walked, she looked up and saw thin flakes of snow hitting her cheeks. It's snowing again!
Sure enough, Christmas is the best match for snowy days.
She slowly walked towards the open space, and Zhao Qian followed. As usual, he took Li Wei's hand and put it into his pocket to keep her warm.
"It seems like it's only nine o'clock now. How about we go find a bar and sit down?"
"No, I'm tired after staying outside all day. It's cold, so you should go back to bed early." Li Wei took her hand out of his pocket, and she didn't look back: "I wore gloves today. "
They called a taxi and took Li Wei back to the hotel where she was temporarily staying. After getting off the car, Li Wei said goodbye to Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian couldn't bear to leave, and said to Li Wei sincerely: "Spending a day with you is probably the happiest day in my life. Although it is very likely that I will be back to where I started tomorrow, I am still very happy."
"Thank you for staying with me all day, and thank you for telling me many things that I didn't know before." Li Wei bowed slightly to him with some restraint.
"Awei, I am working hard to get closer to you. From the past to the present, no matter where you put me now, I have been moving forward. I wish you sweet dreams."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Good night." She turned around gracefully and opened the glass door. The room was brightly lit and warm as spring.
The snowflakes that had just fallen in her hair immediately turned into water as soon as they encountered the heat. She walked upstairs with a thump, and went all the way to the third floor. The house I stayed in had light leaking from the cracks. She knocked on the door, and Qiu Ci welcomed her with a smile, holding a cup of hot milk.
"I thought you wouldn't come back tonight, why did you come back so early?"
"It's time to come back after wandering outside all day." Li Wei took off the white scarf and hung it on the shelf by the window. She glanced out the window and saw Zhao Qian still standing under the street lamp. It was so cold and snowing outside that he didn't even go back.
Li Wei noticed that Zhao Qian was looking in her direction, so she waved her hand to Zhao Qian, signaling him to leave quickly, but Zhao Qian stood there and did not move. This man was driving her mad.
Li Wei changed her shoes again and hurried out, thumping downstairs.
"It's so cold outside, why don't you go back?"
"I can leave with confidence only after you entered the room safely. I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself." Zhao Qian waved his hand towards her.
Li Wei stood there and watched Zhao Qian leave. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and his figure was walking further and further away. She thought of the night when the late emperor died. It also snowed heavily that night. The late emperor had already passed away when Zhao Qian, who had received the bad news, arrived. Snowflakes fell on him, but before he could wipe them away, he heard the eunuch leader read out the imperial edict in the Qiande Hall.
The emperor was too young to handle important matters, and she was newly widowed and had to be busy mourning in front of his soul. At that time, there was some chaos in the court, and it was he who shouldered all the trivial matters inside and outside. As soon as the late emperor left, a palace coup almost happened. The eldest prince was unwilling to lose the throne. Taking advantage of the late emperor's new funeral and the young emperor's weakness, he summoned thousands of people from Shanxi to attend the funeral. In fact, he had murderous intentions. Enter the forbidden city and kill their mother and son. Later, it was the regent who discovered this anomaly in time, causing the eldest prince's plan to fail.
Half a month later, people around her quietly mentioned this to her. Now that she had come to her senses, they had quarreled over various issues, but he had actually been standing in front of their mother and son, taking care of them.
If he really wanted to usurp the throne, he would never have followed him all the way here.
Li Wei sneezed and realized that he was just running out and forgot to put on his coat. Her body was frozen, so she tried hard to jump a few times before she could move. Only then did we return to the hotel.
"Oh my god, it's about ten degrees below zero outside. I'm afraid the temperature will be even lower than this, but you just went out like this. Aren't you afraid of freezing or catching a cold?"
"Probably not, I just stood there for two minutes." Li Wei hugged his body and got into the bed, wrapping the quilt tightly, but he didn't get warm for a long time.
Qiu Ci came over and sat beside Li Wei's bed, enthusiastically caring about the outcome of Li Wei's date today.
"You guys have been together all day today, so your relationship should be getting closer, right?"
"I can't tell if I have taken a step closer, but today a mystery that has not been solved for many years was solved outside, so it can be considered a gain."
Qiu Ci said with envy: "That's great. Are you happy to have such thoughtfulness from a big star?"
"Are you happy?" Li Wei asked himself this question. They had known each other for so many years, and no matter how far apart they were, he seemed to always find a way to come to her. They were once friends and in-laws. Later they became uncles and sisters-in-law, and finally they became ministers and queen mothers, and finally they became enemies. When they came here, they were separated by a screen. At that time, she wanted to work hard towards him. After getting close to him, she wanted to define their relationship as strangers, but fate always connected them together. Today, they are friends again. position.
Li Wei suddenly remembered the reckless kiss in front of the church and the custom that Zhao Qian mentioned.
She then asked Qiu Ci: "Is there a custom in the West that if a girl stands under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve, a boy will come over and kiss her?"
Qiu Ci nodded and said, "I've heard of this custom too, so I have to be especially careful when I go out tomorrow..." Then she realized it immediately and asked Li Wei excitedly, "Did he kiss you under the mistletoe?"
Li Wei said with some embarrassment: "That emergency incident actually didn't count. He just helped me out."
If you don't deny it, it's true. Qiu Ci was even more excited than Li Wei. She stepped forward and hugged Li Wei, and said sincerely: "Congratulations to you, you have found your own happiness on your birthday."
