Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 106 The Cinderella Magic of Christmas (2)
Xia Tong and Yan Rui were still sitting at their seats eating a mountain of food, Xiao Ye ran over halfway and dragged Yan Rui down to dance.While eating the cake, Xia Tong looked at the light-footed men and women on the dance floor, and suddenly felt a little like watching TV. No matter how lively the people on the TV were, it had nothing to do with her as a TV watcher.

It was at this time that Qu Ningyuan walked in front of her. He didn't say anything, but with a gentle smile like a prince, he bent down gracefully and stretched out his hand, his movements were so beautiful that it made people's hearts throb.

Xia Tong looked at him, flattered and said: "I can't dance."

Qu Ningyuan didn't move, still stretched out his hand.

"I can't really dance."

"I'll teach you." Qu Ningyuan smiled and stretched his hand closer.

Xia Tong lowered her eyes and thought for a while, stretched out her little hand, and gently placed it on his big palm.When their hands touched, she could feel his warm palm tightly wrapping her little hand, and she could see the happy light in his eyes, and even his smile was more charming than usual.

Qu Ningyuan pulled Xia Tong up and gently led her down the dance floor.Xia Tong imitated other girls, putting a hand on his shoulder, and Qu Ningyuan's big hand on her waist, the distance between the two was not even a step closer.Xia Tong could feel the air he breathed gently blowing on top of her head, she could feel the temperature of his palm, and she heard him say softly: "I'm so afraid that you will reject me."

Xia Tong blushed unconsciously.Qu Ning couldn't see her cheeks from afar, but saw her red ears, he slightly raised his lips, and smiled more happily, he put his arms around Xia Tong, and said in a low and pleasant voice: "Xia Tong, don't look at your feet, Watch me and waltz with me."

Xia Tong seemed to be confused by his voice, she raised her head slightly, looked at his handsome face, and looked at his eyes shining like stars.That night, Qu Ningyuan seemed to cast a spell on Xia Tong. She obviously couldn't dance, but under his leadership, her steps were light, her skirt fluttered, and her whole body seemed to fly, following his steps , spinning round and round on the dance floor.

Outside the window, the snow is flying; inside the window, the lights are spinning.That Christmas Eve, everything was as beautiful as a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

At the end of the party that night, Yan Rui was taken home by cousin Xiao Ye, and Xia Tong was driven back by Qu Ningyuan.The car drove very slowly in the snow. Xia Tong sat quietly in the car with the red colored paper from the banquet, folded it again and again, and a beautiful thousand paper crane appeared in the palm of his hand.Along the way, she stacked more than a dozen of these origami cranes and threw them into small oval transparent glass bottles she picked up at the banquet.

When the car stopped, Xia Tong handed the glass bottle to Qu Ningyuan, lowered her head and whispered, "This is for you."

Qu Ningyuan took the bottle, looked at the big red paper crane inside, and looked at Xia Tong in surprise.

Xia Tong was embarrassed by his look, and whispered more and more: "This, it's worthless, but it's always good to receive gifts at Christmas, if you don't like it..."

"I like it very much." Qu Ningyuan smiled brightly, "I like it very much."

Xia Tong blushed: "As long as you like it, I... I'll go back first."

After Xia Tong finished speaking, she didn't stop, opened the car door, and rushed into the heavy snow.Qu Ningyuan followed her out of the car, and the usually calm young master ran a few steps quickly in the snow, grabbing Xia Tong.Xia Tong turned around in the wind and snow, and the bright red dress spun out a gorgeous arc in the white snowflakes.Xia Tong looked back at him in surprise, her nose was a little red from the cold, and the breath she breathed turned into a faint white mist in the air.She didn't know whether it was cold or a little scared, and she asked tremblingly, "What... what's wrong?"

Qu Ningyuan stood up straight, let go of his hands, and took off his black coat. With a shake of his hands, the coat tightly wrapped Xia Tong.He tightened her skirt with both hands, and buttoned the coat buttons one by one.He was so close to her that she could even feel his breath.His coat was very warm, carrying his body temperature and his unique smell, making her frozen body slowly feel.

"It's still far from the dormitory, don't freeze." Qu Ningyuan's voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarse magnetism, softly reaching her eardrums.

Xia Tong lowered his head and did not speak, his eyes kept looking at his smooth and slender hands like white marble. The beautiful hands were like works of art, and people couldn't help but marvel at them while admiring them.

But for some reason, Xia Tong suddenly thought of another pair of hands, those hands full of chilblains and red and swollen little fingers like radishes, those hands had once amazed and fascinated her.

"Xia Tong." Qu Ningyuan suddenly called her name softly.

Xia Tong raised his head and looked at the handsome man in front of him.

Qu Ningyuan's face lost a trace of his usual smile and became more serious.He looked at her affectionately and said, "Xia Tong, after the new year, I will continue to study in the United States, and there are still three months left."

Qu Ningyuan paused for a moment, carefully looked at Xia Tong's expression, but found no trace of reluctance after searching for a long time, he was a little disappointed, lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued: "In the past three months, I hope you Give me a chance."

"Huh?" Xia Tong's eyes widened in disbelief, and she didn't understand at all.

Qu Ningyuan smiled shyly, bit his lips and said, "A chance for you to fall in love with me."

When Qu Ningyuan said this, he kept looking at Xia Tong seriously, his back was straight, his black hair was covered with snow, and even his long eyelashes were covered with flakes of ice.His eyes were beautiful, and they shone extraordinarily bright under the dim streetlights. When he looked at her, he was obviously trying to suppress it, but he still let her see the expectation.

Xia Tong clenched her hands secretly, she didn't know how much strength she had to use to restrain herself from turning around and running away.She really doesn't want, doesn't want to accept his feelings, his tenderness, his beauty, he should find a girl who really loves him, and get a clean and complete love.

Instead of being like her, cheating in her heart, just wanting to hurt him severely...

"Xia Tong?" Qu Ningyuan called Xia Tong who was in deep thought, "Are you listening?"

Xia Tong looked up at him in panic, took two steps back, and said falteringly: "I...I..."

"What's wrong? Troubled?" Qu Ningyuan interrupted her.

Xia Tong lowered her eyes, bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Qu Ningyuan's eyes were full of disappointment, but seeing her embarrassed, he still smiled considerately: "It's okay, it's okay to refuse, but I hope you can think about it before refusing? At least, this opportunity to consider, please you give me."

This moonlight-like tall and elegant boy, in front of his beloved girl, seemed so cautious for the first time, even with a hint of humble pleading.

Xia Tong couldn't bear such a tone, she glanced at him secretly, looked at his affectionate eyes, then quickly lowered her head, nodded indiscriminately, and agreed in a low voice.She was always guilty and guilty in front of him, too guilty to look up into his eyes.

Seeing her agreeing, Qu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that she would reject him on the spot, and that would be the end of the good memories of tonight.Fortunately, fortunately she is willing to think about it, Qu Ningyuan restrained his excitement, and said softly: "Hurry up and go back, it's too cold."

Xia Tong nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "You too, don't freeze."

Hearing her concern, he released his suppressed mood in an instant. He raised the corners of his pretty mouth and smiled like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

Xia Tong glanced at him again, turned around, didn't stay any longer, trotted all the way into the small iron gate of the school, and disappeared into the vast white snow after a while.

This time Qu Ningyuan didn't chase after him, but stood in the snow-covered sky, watching her back affectionately, as if hoping that she could turn around and look at him, but unfortunately she didn't.He turned around slightly disappointed, went back to the car, was silent for a moment, saw the glass bottle in his hand in the blink of an eye, picked up a beautiful red paper crane, lowered his head again, and smiled softly...

When Xia Tong returned to the girls' dormitory, it was already past the time to turn off the lights. She pleaded with the doorman auntie, and the auntie let her in. She just looked at the men's coat on her body, her eyes were very strange, as if she had a faint smile on her face. contempt.

Xia Tong didn't pay attention, but rushed all the way back to the dormitory with her head down.The people in the dormitory had already fallen asleep, Xia Tong walked back to the bed lightly, took off her clothes, groped in the dark, washed up casually, and went to bed.Looking at the dark wall with her eyes open, she didn't even have a trace of pride and panic after being confessed by a boy in her heart. There was only deep tiredness in her heart. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.In the dream, under the dark night sky was covered with falling white snow, a boy was standing far away with his back to himself, the flying snowflakes made his back look thin.Xia Tong knew that it was Qu Ningyuan, and she didn't want to approach him, but just stood quietly in the dream, watching his back from afar.

The boy turned his head slowly, and his handsome face gradually became clear.Xia Tong stared blankly at him, he gently raised his lips, his smile didn't reach his eyes, the beautiful Danfeng's eyes were full of vicious calculation and hatred, and there was a frightening strangeness and evil charm all over his body.

Xia Tong opened her eyes wide in fright, and sat up fiercely!The room full of light came into view, she was gasping for breath, looking around in horror.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Yan Rui, who had already returned to the dormitory and was packing things on the bed, asked.

Xia Tong swallowed, and nodded slowly.

"What did you dream about?"

Xia Tong shook his head blankly.

Yan Rui teased: "Did you forget?"

"……Um."

"Look at you, you little mouse, you can be so scared even in a dream." Yan Rui stuffed a bunch of snacks into her schoolbag and ran over, pulled Xia Tong's quilt and said, "Get up, class is about to begin."
