(highly sweet and sprinkled with sugar)

Christmas Eve.

Yu Mobai learned the lesson from last night and went to the commercial street where he watched a movie for the first time with Dong Yike.

The commercial street can be said to be crowded with people and clear water for lovers.

After all, in this not yet particularly developed era, you can’t watch videos at home, so you can only go out and go shopping.

If I don't hold him with me, I'll probably hold someone else's wife when I turn around.

"Wow, Xiao Baibai, there are so many beautiful things here."

Dong Yike really likes the small things sold by roadside vendors.

Especially some exclusive Christmas hats and elk head lamps.

The stall owner is a man dressed as Santa Claus, with a big white beard, a Santa hat, and a red scarf.

Dong Yike looked at it for a while and suddenly said, "When I was little, I looked forward to Christmas the most. Every year I dreamed that there would be a gift from Santa Claus in the stocking next to my bed when I woke up."

Yu Mobai ran out before he could get dressed, "Boss, buy candied haws!"

"What are you doing? I'm fine again."

Yu Mobai didn't say much, he just held her cold hand tightly.

He gently held her in his arms.

When he returned to the milk tea shop, Dong Yike was already dressed and waiting at the door.

"wait for me."

A warmth suddenly surged through her heart, and by the time she reacted, Yu Mobai was about to walk away, "Hey, wait for me!"

Yu Mobai leaned on the chair with a smile.

Yu Mobai did not disturb her, but silently accepted the two cups of milk tea handed over by the waiter.

I don’t know when it started to snow lightly in the sky.

The number of pedestrians on the street outside gradually began to dwindle, leaving only colorful lights and the occasional vendor wearing Santa Claus costumes pushing carts by.

There are many such stalls on the roadside. Even in winter, you can stop and go, constantly holding various small things and gesticulating on Yu Mobai's body.

The candied haws on a stick are basically the same as in my memory. The worst thing to sell is the strawberry ones. Four strawberries cost ten yuan, so only fools would buy them.

"What?" Dong Yi Ke raised his head.

She looked at Yu Mobai eagerly. The thick scarf covered half of her face, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.

Two people held hands and walked through this pedestrian street, with a moat in front of them.

"Then I go to my mother to make trouble. My mother always sends me away impatiently."

Various figures are reflected in his eyes.

"Click."

The two people stood on the bridge and admired the scenery.

Yu Mobai shook his head and then walked forward.

Dong Yi was leaning on the handrail, her head covered with shiny snowflakes. Yu Mobai patted her and motioned for her to stand under the tree.

But since that night at the train station, he discovered that Dong Yike in front of him was already covered in scars but was walking alone.

Dong Yike pulled Yu Mobai in and said, "I haven't had a drink in a long time."

She did not speak, but held her delicate chin with both hands and looked quietly out of the window through the glass.

"Eat?"

The snowflakes fell heavier and heavier, and within ten minutes, the ground was covered with a layer of white lichen.

A few strings of small colored lights on the window kept flashing, and the light shining on the side of Dong Yike's face made her feel a little dreamy.

But Dong also refuses. In her words, this is a romance that lasts all the way to old age. Men don't understand.

The next moment, his eyes were attracted by the cart selling candied haws on a stick outside the window, "Selling candied haws on a stick~delicious candied haws on a stick~"

Although she was smiling, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, "Finally, I have someone to spend Christmas with my sister."

Dong could also stretch out his hand and bring it to his mouth.

When you open the door, you'll be greeted not only by the warm air but also by the aroma of milk tea.

Indeed, this is a beautiful picture, and time seems to have frozen at this moment.

The moonlight was reflected by the river, with sparkling waves. A gust of wind blew by, breaking the tranquility, and the full moon was gradually blown into pieces.

Her hair spread out in front of her forehead with the movement. Looking at the face that was vaguely visible behind the hair, Yu Mobai suddenly stretched out his index and middle fingers to pinch her little face.

Dong Yike was stunned for a moment, and his eyes moved to the last strawberry, which was the smallest of the four.

Dong Yike wiped away his tears and showed a familiar smile, "Suddenly I remembered that I was sitting alone in a milk tea shop last year. I should be pretentious once in a while."

"Shall we go have a cup of milk tea?"

Then she lowered her head, inserted the straw into the cup, and drank from the top layer of milk cap.

Immediately, the sugar coating began to crack, and a small crack opened along the place where the teeth bit it, and then sufficient juice filled the taste buds, sour and sweet.

Some soothing songs were playing in the store, and he also looked out the window.

But maybe because Yu Mobai is that fool, the boss even gave me a yam bean as a gift.

Dong Yike said uncharacteristically, there seemed to be some nostalgia in his eyes, "Thankfully I stopped, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered such a beautiful scenery like yours, right?"

The two of them found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Mo Bai, look, these people are being carried forward by the crowd, and they don't even have time to stop and look at the scenery around them. What a pity."

"What now? Do you still want it?"

At the same time, Christmas music automatically plays, and the house is filled with Christmas-inspired stickers.

The light shines on it, reflecting the colorful ice crystals, which are shiny.

"Eat it." Yu Mobai handed it over.

Yu Mobai asked with a smile.

In the end, I was satisfied until I bought two small Santa Clauses.

"It's nothing, I just want to touch you because you look good."

This made him feel a pain in his heart and he sat next to her.

Taking the strawberry, Dong Yi looked at the attractive red strawberry wrapped in a layer of crystal clear syrup. He pulled the scarf down a little with his hands and couldn't help but take a small bite.

There are also strips of latte art on the roof, which looks like the decoration for a party in elementary school.

As the crowd continued to move forward, the two people were suddenly attracted by a burst of music.

"Here, you can eat one too."

Yu Mobai didn't know Dong Yike's past before, he only thought that she was a crazy girl who liked to joke and swear.

"You eat first, and give me the last one."

Because of the flowing water, the middle of the river has not yet frozen.

Dong Yike shook his head with a smile, put his hands together and exhaled hot air from his mouth.

"Eat!" Dong Yi Ke nodded.

That's a milk tea shop.

"Now, there are not so many fantasies. In fact, there is no Santa Claus. It is just a legend, just to deceive children."

Beside the moat, a street lamp exudes a gentle light, and the pieces of goose feather snow are refracted by the light and reflected to the other side, gradually forming an orange snow scene under the street lamp.

Under the streetlight, the girl raised her hand to pick up the naughty snow elf, her head and scarf covered with a layer of white.

Yu Mobai looked at the girl, his eyes gradually becoming gentle.

This chapter, well, the writing style may be a little different from the book.

I wanted to write it a little sweeter at first, but I don’t know how I ended up writing this. Let’s just treat it as a little side story.
Chapter completed!
