prosperous in the creek

Yes, but he said it out of nowhere, as if out of control.

"Are you going for Christmas?"

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Liao Qingyi shook his head slightly, "I almost never experienced it in my memory."

"Then I invite you to spend Christmas."

When Sheng Xi said this, he turned to her slightly, the bright smile on his face was as pure as ever, and the hope in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.She kept looking at Liao Qingyi with her eyes wide open, believing that no one could refuse an invitation from this person in front of her.

"it is good."

Seemingly taking it for granted that Liao Qingyi would definitely agree, the corners of Shengxi's mouth curled up even more.Start a little bit of planning what delicious things to eat for Christmas.Hearing this, Liao Qingyi couldn't help laughing, as if the two of them only discussed food when they were together.

Sheng Xi strode forward while talking, talking about excitement, there will be many strange little movements.The picture in front of me is very simple and reveals two words, youth.

She had long discovered that Shengxi was different from other people in the circle, and she found it more and more valuable after she got to know her better.Perhaps it was this quality that attracted her to take special care of Shengxi again and again, so that this kind of emotion slowly deteriorated after long-term contact.This change could be vaguely sensed, but Liao Qingyi didn't intend to find out the reason.On the contrary, let this change happen, and you will understand it when it should be clear.

But the most important thing right now, seems to be the not-too-distant Christmas.It was rare, and Liao Qingyi also faintly looked forward to this.

Chapter: Chapter 34

As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere on the streets becomes stronger.After the day they parted, the two never had the chance to meet again, and all they could see was news from the Internet.

City S has already entered winter, which is a little different from previous years.This year there has been a lot of snow, one after another.The fast-paced city seems to have become more humane and more leisurely life because of the faintly falling snowflakes.

As early as the day before Christmas, or earlier, Sheng Xi had already booked a restaurant for dinner.Naturally, I asked Liao Qingyi about this before, and the other party's answer was to trust her taste.Surprised and a little apprehensive, Sheng Xi was a little worried, afraid that what she picked would not suit her taste.

Maybe it's because you care too much about the other person's feelings.

This matter has been on her mind for many days, and even Pei Lingning could see that she was absent-minded, so she reminded her once in a circumstantial way.It was only then that Sheng Xi realized that she cared a little too much. Although she suppressed it on the surface, only she knew that this worry would inevitably continue until Christmas.

"Sister Pei, my dear sister, I told you 800 years ago that I have an appointment today. With a sad face, Sheng Xi was rarely willing to let go in front of Pei Lingning.

"I know, but this time the show..."

"Sister Pei, I believe you can settle it. I know what it means to me, but I don't want to let Sister Liao go."

Pei Lingning has a deep understanding of Shengxi's keeping promises, but it was the first time that she showed a non-negotiable tone in terms of work, which surprised her a little.

She glanced at Shengxi, and saw the stubbornness and persistence she had not restrained when she first entered the circle for a long time.After pondering for a moment, he still nodded, "Go, I will help you."

If it wasn't for the fear that Pei Lingning would slap her back, Sheng Xi would have wanted to hug her and kiss her.But he still hugged her shoulder lightly, "Thank you sister Pei."

The instantly softened tone made Pei Lingning's last bit of resentment go away, and Yirou said lightly, "Okay, I'm not going to change clothes to go to the appointment."

"Alright, I'm leaving, Miss Pei. Her tone was cheerful, as if she was going to meet her sweetheart.

These three words suddenly popped up in Pei Lingning's mind, and she was startled by her own thoughts.Silently watching Sheng Xi's quick pace of leaving, he shook his head amusedly.

Sheng Xi drove home directly, took a shower, put on makeup and changed clothes.Although she doesn't often put on makeup by herself, but after so many years of hearing and seeing, her skills are not inferior to makeup artists.

She usually doesn't care about these things when she goes out, but today is obviously just a simple dinner invitation, but she wants to dress up uncharacteristically.

Affected by the festive atmosphere, I put on dark red eye shadow, and a thin layer has already highlighted the seductiveness.Driven by a subconscious, when she regained consciousness, she had put on a full set of makeup and stood in front of the mirror.

After seeing her plain makeup, she was a little uncomfortable to suddenly put on such a seductive one.

"Will it be too much?"

I didn't struggle for too long, and I picked and picked in the closet again, and finally looked in the mirror several times before rushing out with my bag.

Knowing that the road would be congested today, Sheng Xi deliberately left an hour earlier, but still underestimated the festive atmosphere.It was already dark when she arrived at the restaurant.

Glancing at the time, there are 10 minutes left.Slightly relieved, Sheng Xi took some hasty steps towards the restaurant.

The person who passed by next to him turned his head immediately, stared at her for two seconds, then turned back and followed her forward.

It was Xiao Wu who had uploaded the photo before who recognized her, and she was suddenly glad that she always carried a camera with her when she went out.He trotted to the position obliquely in front of Shengxi and squatted down, and clicked a few times.

There were no people on this road, and cars were parked all around. Sheng Xi wanted to go into the restaurant quickly, but he didn't realize that he had already been photographed a few times.

After Sheng Xi entered, Xiao Wu belatedly said with emotion: "Why is Sheng Xi prettier today than at the airport?"

She looked at the person in the camera and slapped her thigh fiercely, "I mean, today's makeup is so delicate!"

Immediately, I quickly sent a photo preview to the group of several friends, and the inside immediately boiled.

"This is, Shengxi?"

"Hey, this is too pretty, isn't it?"

"Fuck, Xiao Wu, did you climb the wall! You actually went with Sheng Xi!"

Xiao Wuyi felt a little overwhelmed for a while, and immediately explained that it was just a coincidence.Then he looked at the latest message that popped up below and was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't Shengxi famous for not being an idol? She doesn't even put on too much makeup on the show. Why does she look so delicate today?"

Something called intuition rushed into Xiao Wu's head in an instant, and she subconsciously felt that the person Sheng Xi wanted to meet when he went in was Liao Qingyi.

After hesitating for a moment, she sent a sentence in the group.

"Those who want to see Liao Qingyi, immediately come to the place I set."

Sure enough, when Sheng Xi entered, Liao Qingyi was already sitting there looking through the menu.

"Sister Liao, I'm late, sorry."

"how come."

Originally, he wanted to say something, but when he saw Sheng Xi, he was a little stunned.

Her long black hair was slightly curled, and she was wearing a black coat. The coat was slightly open, and a white sweater was worn inside. When she walked to the table, she took off the coat, and the waiter at the side immediately stepped forward to take it.

The moment she took it off, she seemed to change from a deep and steady mature woman to a young girl in white clothes.

Her appearance has always been exquisite, and she can be ranked at the top in the entertainment circle of beauties.She can be regarded as pure and sexy, but she has a pair of very attractive eyes. Today's eye makeup is very good, making her look even brighter.

However, the eyes are extremely clear, which adds a bit more attractiveness.

Not stingy with his compliments, Liao Qingyi looked her in the eyes, "Today is beautiful."

She didn't expect Liao Qingyi's first sentence to be so straightforward, and Sheng Xi didn't expect her praise.Before the shyness in my heart surged more, I asked back: "Well, how beautiful is it?"

After she asked, she was startled again when she saw Liao Qingyi, but she soon returned to her smile.A pair of eyes were full of smiles, Sheng Xi stared unconsciously, secretly looking forward to her answer.

"I thought the lights in this restaurant were a bit bright just now, but it doesn't seem to be so bright now."

It was exactly the same as her usual tone, but it seemed to have a different tone.There is a trace of imperceptible seriousness hidden in it.

Sensing her subtext, Sheng Xi's hand that was about to take the glass suddenly trembled, and the glass knocked lightly on the table.

Liao Qingyi's words are more provocative than complimenting her on her direct beauty.

Sheng Xi finally blushed slightly, lowered her head and gave a slight smile before opening the menu, "Sister Liao, I know you will tease, I shouldn't tease you, let's look at the menu."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Liao Qingyi continued to flip through the half-read menu.After a moment of silence at the dinner table, Sheng Xi looked up at her.As she said, the lights in this restaurant were really bright, so that she squinted her eyes slightly when she looked at Liao Qingyi.

She was a little thankful that she packed up before going out. Liao Qingyi's dress today was a little more solemn than the usual gentle and simple.

The turtleneck sweater embroidered with golden dark patterns was worn by her with a sense of abstinence, and the necklace worn outside the sweater set off a more intimate nature.She just looked down at the menu with a few strands of long hair scattered between her forehead.There was no other look between the drooping eyebrows, but it was just such a scene that other people stopped paying attention.

Sheng Xi secretly sighed in his heart, saying that I am dazzling, but in fact you are not.

Neither of them are dawdling people, and they both decided on the dishes to order after only reading it once.After the waiter finished ordering and left, the table immediately became quiet again.It seems that they have never had dinner together so seriously, Sheng Xi felt that she should say something.

Looking up at the restaurant, I found that all the people who came here to eat were couples, and they were probably the only friends at this table.Thinking of today's day, he immediately told Liao Qingyi about his discovery.

Her statement was recognized by the other party, "Well, when you say this, it seems to imply the misery of both of us."

Strictly speaking, Christmas in China is originally prepared for couples.She knew that Liao Qingyi was not someone who would care about these things.Immediately broke the subject.

"It's okay, couples are just giving each other gifts. Sister Liao, don't worry, I'll prepare it for you too."

Liao Qingyi was slightly surprised, she thought she was the only one who prepared it.But I was still curious, "Are you going to give it to me now?"

Sheng Xi took the paper bag next to it and handed it over, "Of course, you can open it now."

When Sheng Xi said this, her heart was pounding. She had never given others such a gift, and she was afraid that Liao Qingyi would not like it.

As if aware of Sheng Xi's nervousness, Liao Qingyi took the things with a smile, and did not forget to comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't pick anything, I will like whatever you give me."

The words were obviously comforting, but Sheng Xi became more and more nervous.

Inside the paper bag was a big dark red box, and it took Liao Qingyi two hands to take it out slowly.

When I opened the box, the first thing I saw was the card attached to it, the same dark red color.There are only a few large characters on it.

Miss Liao, Merry Christmas!

She glanced at those words with admiration. For Liao Qingyi, who had never practiced calligraphy until now, she admired Shengxi's words.

Take the card away to see what's underneath.

a long skirt.

A light V royal blue dress, she couldn't take it out to see it now, but she could imagine it was this one with a sense of design.

Liao Qingyi often has contact with this brand, but it is only limited to grand award ceremonies.I remember Ruan Xiao once mentioned that it is not so easy to order.

Private sales are rarely accepted, so most are corporate or bespoke.Obviously, Sheng Xi belongs to the latter.

"Thank you, I like it very much, but I think it's a bit expensive."

Liao Qingyi said it sincerely, and Sheng Xi immediately explained: "Ah Han just wanted to order one, and sent me a few styles. When I saw this one, I thought it was very suitable for you, so I thought about it as a Christmas present."

Probably because he was afraid that Liao Qingyi would refuse, the speed of this series of explanations was many times faster than before.

Seeing her cautiousness and anxious look of fearing that he would refuse, Liao Qingyi felt an unknown warmth in his heart, and tried his best to let her know that he really liked her.

"I just think it's a little precious, don't worry, I really like it after seeing it."

Sheng Xi firmly believed in Liao Qingyi's words, and his hanging heart eased a little.This time, it returned to its former appearance.

"That's good. What about my gift?"

It was clearly asking for a gift, but there was a hint of playfulness in the way he stretched out his hand, anyone who looked at it felt as if it should be taken for granted.

Liao Qingyi put the box away, just when the waiter came over to serve the food, she didn't intend to take it out immediately, and followed suit: "I'll give you the food after eating, you will definitely like it."

Her determined tone aroused Sheng Xi's curiosity.She stared at Liao Qingyi with some resentment: "Knowing that I am curious, Sister Liao knows that she is hooking me."

"Well, I'm just waiting for your fish to take the bait."

It's a pun, I'm afraid only I understand it.

Chapter: Chapter 35

From the position near the window, it can be clearly seen that the sky outside is getting darker and darker until the city is lit up by thousands of lights.

Cheerful music was played in the restaurant according to the occasion, as if paving the way for the coming Christmas.

The two of them ate their food with their heads down, and both of them were people with good dining etiquette, so they looked a little relatively silent.Sheng Xi looked around unobtrusively, and found that the couples sitting around were having a good time talking, it seemed that they were the only one at the table, and it was unusually quiet.

"recent..."

"Sister Liao, you..."

This is another kind of tacit understanding. The two looked at each other, and then each smiled in the next second.Sheng Xi didn't speak any more, and signaled with his eyes to let her speak first.

"I haven't seen you have any activities recently, what are you busy with?"

"Well, I haven't aired a few shows, and I'm privately researching what kind of film will be in the next show."

"Do you have a script?"

"Well, I'm picking."

Sheng Xi's eyes lit up, and he took out his mobile phone, "Sister Liao, why don't you help me find someone?"

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xi came to the truth, and when Liao Qingyi thought of something to say, there was already an extra mobile phone in front of him.

"It's just the introduction of a few books, help me to look."

It seemed that there was no reason to refuse, Sheng Xi handed it over so reassuringly and boldly, Liao Qingyi no longer refused.

"it is good."

There is no concern between the two actresses, one generously puts forward a hopeful suggestion, and the other agrees immediately without thinking too much.

It is almost impossible to put it among other actors.

Liao Qingyi read it carefully with his mobile phone, as if he was holding a heavy history book in his hand.Her body has been exuding a bit of literature and art, and Sheng Xi's eyes unconsciously moved up from her mobile phone.

With the movement of lowering his head, the earring on his right ear swayed, shining a little silver light.The light falling from the top of the head was scattered on the slightly lowered face, and even this face was vivid.

But within a short while, she was attracted by the little mole at the corner of Liao Qingyi's eye again, as if she would subconsciously stare at it at the end every time.

Liao Qingyi watched quickly, and when she raised her head, she happened to meet Shengxi's gaze.

"what happened?"

Obviously not doing anything, but looking away in a panic, Shengxi pretended to drink from a water cup.

"Are you watching it?"

"Well, that suspense movie is not bad."

This answer was a bit unexpected for Sheng Xi, "Really? I thought you would be the first to rule it out."

"The whole plot and characters are very good, and the director is also very experienced. But I think the main reason is that you should want to try different styles."

The first two sentences are official comments, and the last sentence is the one that really hit Shengxi's heart.She was surprised by Liao Qingyi's perception of her, slightly surprised, "I really want to try a different style, I can't decide now because of sister Pei, oh, it's my manager, she refuses to agree."

Liao Qingyi smiled knowingly, "Well, no one would agree."

"What if it's you?"

The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened, and Liao Qingyi asked instead of answering: "You should ask, if it was you, how would you choose?"

I was expecting her answer.
