quench thirst

After Suo Yu said to return to China as soon as possible, the time seemed to really pass as fast as he said.The first ten days of December, the middle ten days of December, passed by in a flash, and soon came the last ten days of December, and in the last ten days of December, it was Christmas.

In college, the festive atmosphere of Christmas is still very strong, after all, there are many lovers.

But for such a festival, it has nothing to do with Xu Yan.It was the last class in the afternoon on Christmas Day, and they also passed the last class.As soon as the handing in bell rang, the classroom was filled with the sound of liberation.

After the teacher signaled everyone to be quiet, they collected the test papers one by one.After the test papers were collected, everyone went to the podium and took their backpacks and left.As soon as Xu Yan left the classroom, his neck was hooked by Lin Xun who rushed out from behind.

"Dad! Let's spend Christmas together!"

Lin Xun, a dog, has never known how to control the power of attracting people. If it wasn't for Xu Yan's good waist, he would feel as if he was hanging from Lin Xun's arms when he bent back.

He stood up straight and waited for Lin Xun to come over, then walked with him outside the teaching building and said, "No."

"Why?" Lin Xun was wronged.

Xu Yan: "Look at other people's children, how can there be a Christmas date with dad?"

Lin Xun: "..."

That being said, Lin Xun didn't intend to give up. He put his arms around Xu Yan's neck and yelled at him, "Then Ye Zhilin doesn't mind."

After the unfilial son finished speaking, Xu Yan gave him a wicked look and sneered, "Why, you only care about what Ye Zhilin thinks?"

Lin Xun: "..."

Indeed, even if Ye Zhilin didn't mind, that didn't mean Xu Yan didn't mind.Xu Yan didn't like excitement in the first place, and when he usually asked Xu Yan to have dinner with him and Ye Zhilin, he only agreed occasionally.For some reason, Lin Xun always felt that he and Xu Yansheng had separated a lot after falling in love this time.

He still took everything with him as before, but Xu Yan would not follow him every time, which made him a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to let him and Xu Yan go back to the past.

Maybe they can't go back to the past.

Both of them are growing up, he is still in the past, but Xu Yan has grown up.

If possible, he hoped that neither he nor Xu Yan would grow up.

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Lin Xun's mood became complicated. He was worried and didn't know what to do, so he asked Xu Yan, "Then what are you doing? Jiang Jun went on a date with the goddess, and Ruan Hao also went to an Internet cafe to date." , you are in the dormitory by yourself."

When Lin Xun said this, he felt more and more that Xu Yan's later life was bleak.

"I'll go back to Xu's house." Xu Yan said.

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Lin Xun's expression changed.

He stopped, looked at Xu Yan, and asked, "Why are you going back there?"

Xu Yan followed him to a stop, he looked up at Lin Xun, and said, "My grandpa's [-]th birthday is tomorrow, I have to go back."

The old man of the Xu family celebrated his birthday according to the lunar calendar, and the time is different every year. After Xu Yan said it, Lin Xun belatedly remembered that the old man's birthdays were all around Christmas.

But even so, Lin Xun said: "Then you don't need to go back, anyway, they..."

What Lin Xun wanted to say, when he looked at Xu Yan in front of him, he didn't say it after all.

"My grandpa called me to go back. He just came back from the nursing home today, and he is still waiting for me at home." Xu Yan said.

Hearing what Xu Yan said, Lin Xun knew that he had to go back to Xu's house today. Thinking of this, Lin Xun said, "Then I'll go back with you."

"Let Ye Zhilin spend Christmas by herself?" Xu Yan asked.

Lin Xun: "..."

The two happened to be together some time ago, and this was the first serious holiday after they fell in love. Of course, he couldn't let Ye Zhilin celebrate Christmas by herself.

But he couldn't let Xu Yan go back to Xu's house by himself.

"I..." Lin Xun's little head was thinking of a solution, but before he could say anything, Xu Yan interrupted him.

"I just go back and stay for two days. What can they do to me? Tomorrow night, after the birthday banquet is over, I will come back. And when the birthday banquet is over, my aunt will definitely go, and I will follow Just be with her." Xu Yan said.

The Xu family is a big family in Beicheng. After the death of the second son five years ago, the old man of the Xu family has been devastated. Now he spends most of his time in the nursing home, and only returns to the Xu family when his birthday is over.

Although the old man is not in good health, he has been a leader in the business circles of Beicheng for decades after all, and is deeply loved and respected by his colleagues in the business circles of Beicheng.When he celebrates his birthday, many families in Beicheng will come over, including the Suo family.

During this time, Suo Yu has been on a business trip, and this time he will send Suo Jing over.

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Lin Xun seemed to be comforted by him, but he was still a little nervous looking at Xu Yan.

The two stood at the entrance of the teaching building. After standing there for a while, Xu Yan's phone vibrated.He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then said to Lin Xun.

"The driver is here to pick me up, I'm leaving first."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yan pressed the answer button and walked towards the school gate.

On Christmas Day, the temperature in Beicheng dropped to minus ten degrees below zero. Xu Yan was wearing a long black down jacket.Under the generous down jacket, the boy's back is thin and slender but tall and straight.

He picked up the phone and walked towards the school gate.Lin Xun watched Xu Yan's back gradually disappear, and kicked the trash can.

Xu Yan went back to Xu's house by car.

The Xu family's mansion is located in a mountain forest in the western suburbs of Beicheng, occupying the entire foot of the mountain forest.Now it was dark, the mansion was brightly lit, and the light shone through the mountains and forests. From a distance, it showed the glory and grandeur of the Xu family.

The car drove along the main road in the mountain forest, and soon arrived at the gate of Xu's house.In front of the main house, the housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time walked down the steps after the car was parked, and opened the door.

The car door opened, and Xu Yan got out of the car.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, night had fallen, and the lights in the yard fought against the darkness, but they couldn't break through the pitch black night, and could only emit light in a small area.Xu Yan stood under the light, his thin figure was slender and tall.He glanced at the brightly lit main house, got up and walked in.

Compared with the darkness outside the courtyard, the inside of the main house can be described as bright and bright.In the huge living room, crystal chandeliers reflect dazzling light, pouring luxury into every corner of the main house.

Today is Christmas, and the Xu family has decorated it to some extent. A tall Christmas tree is placed next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, with colorful lights and brightly colored apple models wrapped around it, creating a festive atmosphere.

Before Xu Yan entered the door, the living room was also immersed in this festive atmosphere, with laughter and laughter.But after Xu Yan entered the door, the laughter seemed to be cut off.The people sitting on the sofa in the living room all looked over at the same time, and when they saw Xu Yan, everyone's expressions became indifferent.

Xu Yan stood at the door and glanced at the people in the living room.

"Where's grandpa?" Xu Yan asked.

"You still know how to ask grandpa. He has been waiting for you since the afternoon. He was exhausted just now, so he went to bed first." It was Xu Yan's younger uncle Xu Changcheng who spoke. When talking to Xu Yan, his words were full of elders. A reprimand to the juniors.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, you go back to your room first."

After Xu Changcheng finished speaking, another man on the sofa in the living room spoke.He was still wearing a suit, so he should have just returned from the company.After the old man became seriously ill, he took care of everything in the Xu family.He is Xu Yan's uncle Xu Rucheng, Xu Yan is much older, he speaks and acts with the majesty of a parent, and is not very fair and objective.

After Xu Rucheng finished speaking, the other people looked away from Xu Yan, as if no one else had to continue chatting about what happened just now, as if Xu Yan had never been here before.

He didn't have anything to do here, and Xu Yan didn't go back to his room. He turned around and left the main house, and went to the ancestral hall.

For a big family like the Xu family, the ancestral hall is directly enshrined in the house.After Xu Yan arrived at the ancestral hall, he went in and offered incense sticks to his parents.

After offering incense, Xu Yan stayed in the ancestral hall for a while, and after a while, he left the ancestral hall and returned to his room.

He seldom went to Xu's house, so his room looked deserted.Fortunately, Xu's family is rich enough, and there will be no such things as not cleaning him or using his room as a utility room.

Xu Yan stayed in the ancestral hall for a while just now, and his body smelled of incense.He undressed and went to take a shower.After taking a shower, Xu Yan returned to the bed.

On the bed, Xu Yan took the quilt and covered his body.He didn't lie down, but sat there.The lights in the room were turned off when he went to bed, and only the bedside lamp was turned on.

Under the bedside lamp, on his bedside table, there are a few story books.

These few story books were all read by him when he was a child. The stories were simple and naive. Due to too many times of reading, the books were worn out and became old.

Xu Yan sat on the bed and took a phonebook from Lilliputian.

He leaned on the bed, under the light, in this quiet room, flipping through the pages.The storyline flashed by, plain and simple.This kind of story is like a spectrum with only shallow bumps, you can see the bumps, and you can quickly forget the bumps.

But in this room, on his bed, and on the book in his hand, the memories about these are a huge spectrum.

Xu Yan couldn't forget.

He was sitting on the bed, flipping through a book, in a quiet room, the curtains were not drawn.The curtains are opened, revealing the large glass lozenge window, outside the lozenge window, festive fireworks bloom and fall in the dark night, gorgeous and beautiful.

In such a lively atmosphere, Xu Yan quietly flipped through the book in his hand, and quickly finished it.

After flipping through, his left hand touched his right hand.When the two hands touched together, Xu Yan held them together.

These are two hands that are exactly the same, the same size, and the same touch. They can't completely wrap the other hand, and they can't give Xu Yan a complete and flawless sense of security.

Xu Yan held his right hand with his left hand. After holding it for a while, he lay down and took the phone.

[Xu Yan: Merry Christmas. 】

Xu Yan sent a text message out.

Today is Christmas, for today's snowflake-like blessing text message, his text message is likely to be buried in it, and will not be noticed by the recipient.

But soon, he received a reply.

【Suo Yu: Merry Christmas. 】

Xu Yan was lying on the bed, his face was illuminated by the screen of his mobile phone, this message was reflected in his eyes, and there was a trace of happiness in getting a response.

[Xu Yan: Uncle, do I have any Christmas presents? 】

Not long after Xu Yan sent the text message, Suo Yu replied.

[Suo Yu: Yes. 】
