strayed into the world

In a blink of an eye, it is the winter solstice in Ningdu again.

This year in Ningdu is very special, and it has not snowed yet.Everyone was waiting for the first snow, thinking that God deliberately arranged for Christmas two weeks later.It's just that everyone's waiting is often a dream.A fantasy that can only be had with a dream.

Quan Ce felt that he should still tell him the matter.I don't know why, but I can't speak for a long time.Is it too late, or still brooding.

After thinking about it, okay...just tell him on the next rainy night.

……

Three days passed.

The weather was dry and there was no sign of rain at all.Quan Ce was a little annoyed, standing by the window, he could see the thin figure of the garden at a glance.Recently, he has gradually become cheerful, and there is often a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he will smile even brighter when facing Xiaoguai. He is not afraid of himself, and he can stand in front of him. Ordinary conversation, when you are happy, you will show a little coquettishness. ... Heh ... he became more and more impossible to ignore.

The roses in the garden have withered and only the trunks are still standing on the soil.Qingche likes to take Xiaoguai out for a walk in this kind of weather, and this garden has gradually become his personal territory.The exposed hands were red from the cold but still refused to stuff them back into the bag.Let out a breath of white air, this winter is surprisingly cold, but there has been no snow for a long time.

"Isn't it cold after staying outside for so long?"

He is already very familiar with this voice, although he can't help but feel his heart beat faster every time he hears it, but he can no longer be so flustered.Turning his head to look at the oncoming person, he smiled at him,

"Policy."

Walking to his side, Quan Ce saw that pair of slender but red fingers intertwined with each other, feeling a little distressed for his negligence, holding that hand, the jerky move still surprised him for a long time, without looking at him, slowly walk slowly,

"I said I liked your hands, and it wouldn't look good if you got chilblains."

"En." Following him obediently, being pulled and led by him made him feel that he was still pampered by him.Admiring his perfect side face, his cheeks were covered with a layer of powder.

Quan Ce suddenly discovered that the time the two of them spend alone can be counted on the fingers.Although they have been together for three years, they are like strangers.He was still jerky and held his cold hand and had a normal conversation with him. He thought that he would never have the chance to walk in the garden with him in his life. He thought...he could stick to his destiny forever.

The sky was pale and cloudless.

Quan Ce licked his somewhat dry lips, and sighed helplessly, losing to the damn cold weather. "It's really cold this year."

"En." His soft response from behind made Quan Ce feel at ease.

Unconsciously clenched the hand in the palm, "Christmas is one week away." It seemed to be talking to himself, but it was always a question.The whole strategy is unclear.

"Well... I hope it will snow for Christmas."

"Why do you want snow for Christmas."

One in front of the other, there is a hand's distance between the two.

"I like snow very much, and I also like to spend Christmas. It would be better if it snowed on Christmas." Will it be very greedy?Qing Che thought secretly.

Quan Ce cares about him saying that he likes Christmas.I remember that every Christmas in the past three years, he spent it outside with his friends. Whether intentionally or not, he always left Qing Che alone in this villa, unable to go anywhere. How did he spend Christmas? I was curious, but never asked. ...Just this time...for the last time, follow your heart and ask him,

"Why do you like Christmas?"

"...gifts are available at Christmas...and wishes are especially easy to come true on Christmas..."

"Gifts?..." Quan Ce thought about the sentences in his words, imagining that he would smile happily like a child every time he got a gift, but in the end, he imagined only a lonely and curled up figure in front of a big Christmas tree for three years. He silently made a wish, what is there to like about Christmas alone.

"Do wishes made on Christmas Day really come true?"

"Well, I've tried it. It's very effective." The serious answer reveals his innocence and simplicity.A smile appeared on the corner of Quan Ce's mouth,

"Then what wish did you make? Let me see if it has come true."

"This...can't be said...secret....Anyway, it's all right if it's all realized." Seeing him flickering and still tweaking his little secret.Quan Ce suddenly wanted to know what kind of wishes he made, and whether those wishes could be about him... If he ordered him to tell him, he would

He will definitely say it obediently, but is he going to do that? ...Quan Ce hesitated, overcame his curiosity,

"Have you decided what to wish for this year?"

"Not yet, I have too many wishes, and I can't be too greedy."... If you are greedy, Santa's ears can't hear so many wishes, so he has to seriously think about what his wishes are.In any case, the wish must be related to the whole policy. ... This has been the case for the past three years.

Two people and one dog.Like a painting.Whether the strokes are romantic or sad, who can tell.

"Qing Che, do you hate me?"

Calling him by his name was extra gentle, but it was such a straightforward question.It made his heart ache.Don't understand?He treats him like this, doesn't he understand?Looking at that side face, Qing Che felt a little lost, curled her lips, and answered him,

"Do not."

"why?"

Paused, thinking about why... "I can't hate it."

"Is it that I haven't treated you bad enough? Or have I not hurt you enough? That you can't hate me."

"Maybe... yes." Qing Che felt himself rolling in sugar and coffee, coffee for a while, sugar for a while.Lots of coffee and very little sugar, so it's still bitter.But every time the bitterness is almost unbearable, I will taste the last faint sweetness.Repeatedly, he has forgotten whether he likes sugar or coffee, or coffee with sugar.

"You're really direct." The directness made him feel frustrated. "Are you not afraid that I will hurt you again?"

"... I'm afraid...." Quan Ce heard it very clearly as she said softly.Surprised, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at him behind him seriously.

"... Ce?" Seeing that Quan Ce suddenly stopped and stared at him intently, Qing Che was dazed and flustered, not knowing what happened to him today, willing to take a walk with him, but now looking at him strangely.

Quan Ce remained silent, with a little sadness hidden on his calm face, and the deep pupils were suppressed by the haze, looking at the face in front of him, this person, after a second...stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, pulling him hard. He kneaded himself into himself and whispered in his ear,

"I have no way to hate you anymore...so, you have to leave...Qingche."

……

Qing Che will always remember that day.

That day the sky was pale and covered with painful ice.

He wondered if he had a dream, so that he only came back to his senses a few days later.

It's strange, the warm embrace can make him cry uncontrollably... That voice echoed in his ear like a curse, if you want to leave, you will leave...

*****

The third day after that day.Qing Che just heard from Chen Na that Quan Ce is getting engaged.And the object of engagement is the second miss of the Jin family, Quan Qing.

Quan Ce doesn't like her, everyone says so.

Qingche doesn't understand why Quan Ce can get engaged to someone she doesn't like, and it's also her favorite Christmas.No wonder he talked to himself about Christmas that day.It turned out that this Christmas was no different from previous years, he was getting engaged, and he was spending it alone again.And forever alone.

After understanding the meaning of what Quan Ce said to him at the end, he never shed tears again.Sitting in a daze on the swing chair with my knees in my arms, my eyes are moist without blinking, but I can't shed tears...

These days, Quan Ce is rarely at home.The engagement and the company made him so busy that he started to leave early and return late again.

Counting your fingers, how many days are left, Christmas is coming.How many days, he has to say goodbye to him.How many days... He will be engaged and be married to him ever since.

Xiao Nai froze for 20 seconds when he heard the shocking news from Quan Ce.

After recovering, he shook his head violently,

"Impossible, impossible, how could you be engaged to Quan Qing. You must be joking."

Smiled at him, "What's impossible, I will get married one day, have children, and be a father."

"But it's definitely not all sunny."

Quan Ce fully understands Xiao Nai's surprise and reaction, and Xu Chi was equally surprised when he heard the news for a long time before he came to his senses.They didn't like Quan Qing, and they had conflicts with him not long ago, and getting engaged to her was of course the most amazing anecdote in the world.

"The old man arranged it."

"You can refuse, can't you? Don't tell me what you are forced to do. I won't accept this. Who can interfere with your golden decision." Unless he wants to.Otherwise, no one can change him.

Under the cool and handsome appearance, there was no slight fluctuation, "I didn't find a reason to refuse."

"How could there be no reason? You can say that you don't like her. Isn't that enough reason?"

"Emotions can be cultivated slowly." Just like him and him, love will develop over time.isn't it?

"...Then what are you going to do with Qing Che? If you stay there, Quan Qing won't treat him as a servant." That's what Xiao Nai is worried about.

"So, I decided to send him back to his parents." Of course Quan Ce also thought of this.That's why I told him to let him go.He had to leave, so that his world would return to peace, whether it was Quan Qing or someone else, he just needed an engagement at this right time to announce that he had let go of him.They have been entangled for three years, whether as strangers or as Xiong-Di, in short, they were completely stranded after Christmas.
