Time always sneaks away quietly. When Chen Chuqiao saw the Christmas decorations on the street one after another, he belatedly realized that the year was coming to an end.

Time flies so fast.

Because Chen Chuqiao came to the UK to study and her two children are here, she spent Christmas in London this year. And her good friends are all staying in Switzerland, so she has been playing with her new friends from university recently.

I was sitting on the street waiting for my friend. Next to me was a small shop with a mistletoe garland on the door. I couldn't help but hum a tune, "kisshemistletoe..."

Every Christmas song has a unique meaning, such as Stchristhetree, and there are many other songs. As soon as you listen to it, the memories of that time will come with the melody.

The hazy and old-fashioned atmosphere replays in my mind, and the fresh memories become clearer, and the song seems to return to that Christmas.

There was ice and snow outside, next to Noah, and next to it was a crackling heater; before another year's Christmas Eve, I took a long, long flight, bringing with me the sunshine of California, Noah's cologne, and Mali.

All the best wishes from Boo back home.

Chen Chuqiao didn't even need to try hard to recall, the information about Noah and Christmas came to her easily from the melody. After just thinking about it for a moment, she realized that he was indispensable to her Christmas for the past two or three years.

December is really a very special month for them. The first confession, the wedding they attended on the Malibu beach when they were in love, walking straight among the palm trees along the way with the sea breeze, tattoos, many, many things happened in December

Yue, I still feel very beautiful when I think about it now.

Emma asked her not long ago, "Don't you regret this tattoo?"

She is talking about the matching tattoo on her arm with Noah. Couple tattoos always seem a bit out of place after a breakup. Every time I mention it, I can’t help but look back on the relationship that has ended.

"No." Chen Chuqiao said firmly, "What is there to regret?"

Tattoos cannot represent eternal thoughts, they can only prove the surging emotions and touches at the moment when the tattoo is applied.

She rarely regrets something. It's not that she hasn't tasted the taste of reaping the consequences. When she regrets it, she thinks about it. If she could go back to that moment, she would still make the same choice, and it wouldn't be so difficult to accept.

Besides, Chen Chuqiao was very happy when he got the tattoo, and that part of his memory will always be covered with a heavy filter and shine brightly.

Looking at her expression, Emma shook her head, "It seems that Morgan is going to be disappointed."

"Haha," Chen Chuqiao smiled knowingly, "Everyone is living a good new life."

Noah has a new circle of friends, and he can hear news about him from others from time to time. Even if he doesn't mention it, I believe that the latest news about her will be spread to him.

He no longer kept asking why, and no longer saw his urgent and aggrieved look. The university was really busy, and they hadn't communicated for a long time. Everyone had a lot to do, not to mention he was so destined.

People who shine brightly. Harvard is a place where elites gather. If you want to stand out, you must spend more energy.

She rarely fell into tangled emotions anymore.

But in just six months, everything seems to have changed. Human emotions are really complicated things, and I don’t know when they will change.

"You and Tom...?" Emma looked at her with piercing eyes, "I see you haven't gone out with him recently."

Chen Chuqiao sighed, "He sometimes gives me the feeling of Noah, you know, right?"

There will definitely be reluctance and attachment when a relationship ends. Moreover, it was the way they broke up. It was all due to the courage of that moment when they said they broke up, but they persisted in such a vigorous manner, and it ended in a rather careless manner. They were still good friends.

, but they don’t contact each other often. The two maintain a slightly awkward and unfamiliar relationship, and they will send messages when something happens.

Chen Chuqiao is actually secretly glad that this relationship is over. She knows that this is not the right idea, so let her be secretly guilty and happy. She also knows that escaping is not good, but she really does not have the courage or ability to solve the problem, so she just kills it with a knife

With chaos, you can escape everything and don't have to face it again. Once it's over, everything is over.

It seemed that it was hidden somewhere, and she didn't want to think about it, trying to put all the complicated emotions away.

It's not fair to bring such emotions to Tom. Tom is a considerate person and wisely distanced himself after politely refusing.

Chen Chuqiao hugged Emma and said, "I don't want to fall in love anymore. Let's stay happily single!"

She was not entirely joking. Sorting out feelings is not an easy task. It is easy to say but difficult to do. People's thoughts are the most uncontrollable. It's not that I haven't been in love before. It's probably because I didn't care much. I broke up.

She is always chic, but the most distressing thing is that when her ex-boyfriend gets a new partner, someone gossips about her. Now this is the first time that Chen Chuqiao has experienced this messy feeling of not knowing what to do.

Looking at the window opposite, where there is a Christmas tree with flashing lights, I feel an indescribable feeling.

A kind of complexity that you can't forget after letting go, like you're holding your breath, not sad or uncomfortable, but after taking a deep breath, it's gone.

People around me were in pairs and groups. I started to feel a little lonely sitting here alone, so I sent a message to my friend asking when she could arrive.

Before she could get a reply, her friend came and brought her a cup of coffee.

Chen Chuqiao happily took it and hugged her, "Thank you, how have you been lately, Olivia?"

Coming to Cambridge to study not only gained her academically what she expected, but even more. Another particularly gratifying thing was that she made many new friends, friends who were very different from her. Perhaps the diversity of a university is important.

One of them is this, contact with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, for literature students like them, it is like rain and sweet rain.

For Chen Chuqiao, new friends = new world.

Most of her good friends around her grew up with similar backgrounds, so when she was a child, she was always willing to participate in winter and summer camp programs, so that she could meet many friends from different countries and hear many new things that she had never experienced before.

Although Olivia is also British, they do not live in the same area. They came to a strange area and were taken to different stores. Chen Chuqiao was almost like a young bird following its mother, following her footsteps.

.

Not to mention second-hand stores, even the boutique store she is visiting now is not something she often visits. Most of her clothes are bought by her parents and delivered to her home regularly. In Korea, she would have stylists buy them and match them by herself.

Even if you go shopping by yourself, there are usually a few fixed counters.

Most of the clothes are based on the parents' preferences. Sophia's personality, behavior, and clothing are all completely French. Therefore, Chen Chuqiao in Geneva is completely French. Because she is so praised, Song Caiyan follows this style when shopping.

After I came to the UK, it was a little different. It was still the same brand, but it was more grandma-style, and the tone was a lot darker.

Otherwise, everyone always says that Chen Chuqiao seems to be the kind of carefree and unconcerned child. Her parents can be called indulgent and doting on her. She can't help except eating, drinking, and taking care of herself. She takes care of everything and doesn't do much.

Control her.

There really weren't many things that made her sad, and others might laugh at some of the trivial things if she told them, so she didn't complain much to outsiders, but it still had a real emotional impact on Chen Chuqiao.

Maybe in the future it will seem pretentious and over-the-top, but you can't help but smile. Young people are always extraordinarily rich in emotions. Their sensitive nerves irrigated by literature and art, their immaturity and vitality are withered by the unexpected reality of life.

Thinking about the brain is the only path for young people.

——

Influenced by her grandma, Chen Chuqiao's style of dressing has gradually moved closer to unisex. She is also interested in some neutral men's clothing and has picked out many suitable clothes in the men's area here.

When she turned around, she accidentally almost bumped into the oncoming person. Fortunately, both Chen Chuqiao and him stopped in time and apologized immediately. She raised her head and could see the surprise in each other's eyes when she looked at each other.

The two said "annyeonghaseiyo" in unison again.

Chen Chuqiao is such a big man, but he has only been to East London twice, and both times he encountered power revolutions. I can't help but wonder, has he been here for a long time?

Quan Ge smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Are you here to buy clothes?" After saying that, he felt that this question was a knowing question, so he laughed sheepishly.

Chen Chuqiao understood why he was laughing. She held it back, weighed the clothes she was trying on with her face as normal, and deliberately responded with the same sentence, "Yes, where is my brother?"

The two of them were quite unexpected about this meeting, and they thought it was a bit magical, so they stood aside for a while and started chatting.

They were all talking about how they were going and where they were recently. As they were talking, Chen Chuqiao's eyes were inevitably attracted to Quan Ge's earrings, which were a silver leaf hooked on a slender chain, swaying with his movements.

Before going to Korea, it was rare to see boys wearing long chain earrings, and many Korean boys like to wear them like this. Kim Yugyeom Bambam wears them, Song Minho wears them, and Jungkook seems to often wear them too. In fact, they have digested this single item.

It's very good, it's really suitable.

The long earrings hang down around the neck, making him a handsome boy. Paired with exquisite long earrings, he has a refreshing and gentle blend, which is very temperamental.

"Are you here for shopping? After a while, you..." Halfway through the words, Quan Ge still couldn't overcome his shyness and asked her in English covertly, "ns (is something wrong)?" As if he didn't speak his native language.

It would be embarrassing.

Chen Chuqiao was startled. She and Olivia were going to go back to their homes after visiting this store, but she didn't say it directly, she just asked "What's wrong?"

"Well," Quan Ge rubbed his hands nervously, "if nothing happens, do you want to go have dinner together."

"Going to eat?" She was very surprised. She pressed her phone and saw that at 18:06, it was indeed time for dinner. A message just happened to pop up, so she clicked on it.

"I made a reservation at a restaurant. I was going to go with my friends, but my friend was temporarily busy..."

Quan Ge was talking, and Chen Chuqiao glanced at his phone slightly. It was a message from Noah, saying that he could not return to Europe.

There was no fluctuation in her mood. At most, she just sighed. There was no other meaning. She just suddenly realized that from some time ago, she often sighed when receiving and replying to Noah's messages. She always thought about it for a long time before thinking of the words. Try.

After being interrupted by other things many times, I completely forgot to reply to him.

Seeing her slightly lowered eyes, Quan Ge couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he started to explain to her. Then he heard her sigh, a little grandly, "It's not because my friend can't come, that's why I called you..." It felt more and more serious the more he spoke.

Something was wrong, he became even more nervous, "It's just a coincidence that we met, just...hey, do you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, I know." Chen Chuqiao smiled lightly, not wanting to look at his phone while others were talking, so he only glanced at it inadvertently and turned it off, without looking at a few unread messages.

Those messages were probably about why Noah couldn't come, she thought.

Her smile was very sweet, and there was gentleness in her eyebrows. Quan Ge miraculously calmed down his panic in an instant, and sorted out his words, "Sorry, it was really too abrupt."

In fact, Chen Chuqiao was not very familiar with Quan Ge, but because he and Yu Zhihao were in the same year, they both called him brother. His eyes fell on his dimples, and his pursed lips looked extremely shy, making it difficult to call him brother.

associated with hiphop.

However, looking at Quan Ge's outfit, it's still a bit interesting.
