Chapter 89 Christmas
Doing nothing always makes people drowsy, the warm wind from the air conditioner in the room made Shi Lei's eyes gradually heavy.

In a daze, it seemed that someone rang the doorbell, and for a moment Shi Lei couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

When this kind of thinking comes to mind, the drowsiness starts to disappear.The doorbell rang again, causing Shi Lei to open his eyes.

"Hold on."

Shouting to the outside, Shi Lei quickly straightened up from the sofa, put the slippers on his feet, rubbed his hazy eyes, and when the door of the house opened.

"Hello, Jenny, Merry Christmas."

It was Shi Lei's neighbor Jenny.She was wearing a heavy cotton-padded jacket, and her fair face was also stimulated to have two peach-like reds on her cheeks due to the cold weather.

"Hi, Merry Christmas. I'm glad you're home, can you help me?" Seeing Shi Lei's appearance, Jenny seemed relieved. She took off her cotton hat from her head and let her red hair Getting rid of this uncomfortable restraint, he said with some complaints in his mouth at the same time: "What a damn weather."

"It's an honor, what can I do for you?"

"I haven't been out of the house for a few days, because of the damn snow, but today is Christmas, I have to go shopping, Christmas trees, food, presents, and wine, Alice has been looking forward to this day. But I It seems to be buying too much."

Jenny's words made Shi Lei smile, the Christmas tree includes gifts and food, these are the things that every parent of a child will prepare every time this festival comes.But Jenny only has one younger sister, which made Shi Lei's impression of his neighbors deepened.

"A strong, responsible, caring woman, a sister who doted on her less fortunate sister."

"Okay, but you need to wait a moment, I have to change clothes and shoes. Or you can come in and wait."

Shi Lei said so, opened the door a little more, and made an inviting gesture.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what to do if you're not home."

Jenny walked into Shi Lei's house, expressing her gratitude.

"It's nothing, wait a minute."

Shi Lei shrugged at Jenny, motioning for her to sit casually, and then walked into the bedroom.

Men generally change clothes very quickly, and this time will be shortened infinitely when there is an emergency, such as being caught for rape.Well, I'm kidding.

"Come on, or you just need to tell me where the stuff is."

"Let's go together, they're in my car, there are too many."

Shi Lei made a casual expression, followed Jenny and walked out the door.

In the closed corridor, Shi Lei felt the coldness of the weather, but when he was outside, the coldness really made him feel the chill.

"The winter here is really unbearable."

In Shi Lei's hometown, even the coldest "March [-]" weather is far from being this cold.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Christmas and I didn't do my shopping in advance, I definitely wouldn't choose to go out."

Jenny agreed, and at the same time tightened her collar.

"In the parking lot?"

Looking at the direction he was walking, Shi Lei asked Jenny.

It may be a lot like a romantic rendition of an unforgettable love in a certain movie.Two people, a young man and a young woman, walked side by side in a snow-covered field.But none of the two people in the middle had such an idea. They just wanted to speed up their pace so that they could return to their warm home as soon as possible.

"Yes, there it is. You didn't go out today?"

"No, the snow is so thick that I don't even think I can drive twenty miles."

"That's it, just a little bit faster and it feels like it's going in the direction we want to go. So you've got your holiday food ready in advance?"

"No, I was still playing last night and didn't have time at all, but you know, our holidays are different."

"Oh, well, but this is America and everyone is celebrating it today, and you should be a part of it. Or you can spend this Christmas with us, but I need Ellie first. Ruth agrees, she is very sensitive to strangers."

Shi Lei immediately shook his head when he heard the words, and declined Jenny's kindness.Alice is a poor girl, and he once lamented the injustice of God because of this, but Shi Lei didn't intend to have any communication with Jenny's younger sister at all.

"No, don't bother Alice, I might go to the bar to have a drink to celebrate the arrival of this day."

"Okay, here it is."

Saying this, Jenny took out the car keys from her pocket and opened the trunk.

"Oh, that's quite a lot."

The woman's shopping desire once again surprised Shi Lei. With so many and seemingly complicated items, did Jenny really consider her own ability to bear when purchasing?Shi Lei was very skeptical about this.

"Christmas tree", Shi Lei weighed it with his hand, it is not heavy, although it looks very big.He casually put it aside.He lifted heavier things first, and didn't use the other hand until his hand felt heavy.

Finally, the trunk was full, and only wine, presents, and Christmas trees were left in the end, but Shi Lei's waist was slightly bent due to the weight of the items he was carrying.

"Is it okay to leave the rest to you?"

"You can give me some more, you have taken too much."

"No, no, if there is no problem, let's go."

Shi Lei turned out from the back of the car, waited for Jenny to pick up the rest of the things, and then walked slowly.

"How are you doing?"

After walking for a while, seeing Shi Lei's breathing getting heavier, Jenny asked.

"It's okay. But I'm curious, why do you buy so many things?"

This made Jenny look a little embarrassed, and she smiled sheepishly: "I'm trying to control the number of items as much as possible."

"Are all women like this?"

Jenny pretended to be angry and said, "I'm a girl."

"Well, sorry, sorry, you're a girl, but a pretty girl."

As time goes by and the number of meetings increases, the two people are already very familiar with each other, and occasionally they will make some trivial jokes.

"I don't know, but my mom loves shopping a lot."

This is the first time Jenny has talked about her mother, and the first time she has mentioned her family other than her sister.

There are only two sisters living together, and the younger sister is still sick, so some things are definitely not so wonderful.

　PS: Thank you Tian Guomei for your reward, thank you.

　　The heroines of many basketball novels are either big stars or daughters of high-ranking officials and wealthy families. I hope to write something different, but because there is no realistic prototype for readers to make up for, I have to add some twists and turns. Make the characters plump, but this makes me very entangled. I don't know if my friends can feel what I want to describe, and I don't know if you are willing to accept the prayer that the result is not too bad!
