C137

I don't know if this year's Christmas is going to be a special day, but it's also the first time I've ever had a Christmas in the real sense, or if I'm abroad.

"Ai Lisi, I'm sorry. Next time, I will definitely cook a better Chinese dish for you to try." Mrs. Smith apologized to me, but the professor directly replied without giving me any face, "We, Ai Lisi, prefer to eat salad."

"Stop drinking. If you get drunk, I won't send you back."

Hearing these words, Mo Li really seemed like he was drunk. He was pushed away by her brother, yet also wanted to hug his arm and act like a spoiled child, just like a little kitten.

I smiled as I watched. Even though I felt that this scene was a little warm, it was also due to the fact that the two of them were family members. At this moment, the Smiths were also loathing each other as they were whispering to each other.

They were counting down time together, or perhaps it could be said that they were slowly letting time pass.

I accompanied them as they watched TV, and I also lightly sipped on my red wine. After drinking a few glasses, I don't remember how many times, I was quietly covered by a blanket by my wife, and just like Mo Li, I slept on the sofa in their house.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw a pair of eyes looking at me. I was so shocked that I fell off the sofa.

Mo Li was still sleeping on his lap, and he just watched as I woke up and rolled over to the sofa.

Just like this, my sleepiness was gone. However, if I were to return home just like that, it wouldn't be that easy, even though my home wasn't that far away from here.

The man didn't move at all as he watched me fall down and stand up. If it wasn't for him blinking his eyes at this moment, I would have thought that he had fallen asleep just like Mo Li.

Being watched falling asleep like this for a long time must be very awkward, but I can't leave right now, so at least I have to call out to Mrs. Smith, right?

"Are you going back?" the man asked.

I subconsciously looked at Mo Li first, afraid that she would be awoken from her sleep, so I first made a silent gesture towards him, then pointed at Mo Li so that he would understand.

As if he didn't care about Mo Li, he gently removed Mo Li's head from his legs, placed a pillow behind her, and covered her with the blanket.

It was natural to watch him do all this, as if he did it often.

He stood up and stretched his legs. He indeed looked like he had been pressured by Mo Li's head to the point that his blood didn't flow, and he even intentionally rubbed his thighs.

"Are you going back?" "Let's go, I'll send you off."

When he said he was going to take me back, I was also stunned for a moment, but immediately shook my head. "No need." I said it softly, not as casually as he did.

He had been looking at Mo Li the entire time, but it seemed like this child had drank too much.

After hearing my rejection, he came before me and said condescendingly, "Since you're already awake, if you can't fall asleep, then accompany me for a walk. That girl's head is too heavy, making my feet numb."

Actually, what he said was the truth and not a joke. However, at this moment, because he said Mo Li's head was too heavy, I actually gave her face and laughed, which directly hit my laughing spot.

Unable to hold back his laughter, he packed his things so that he could send me off on his way.

Christmas Eve. The weather was pretty good. Other than the cold, he didn't feel anything else. This was because the campus lights were very warm.

Perhaps it was because it was too awkward for the two to walk just like that, but he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I always thought the bookworm had a good memory. Why are you so forgetful?"

Just because I heard it in Chinese, I didn't feel that it was strange. But in the end, it was because there were still many doubts. It was just like how he looked.

"Mo Li said that I'm a bookworm?" I didn't manage to catch the main point and asked a few questions, but what I got in return was that black shadow's shake of his head. I could only shake my head in response to his words, pretending that I didn't really understand him.

If he had only wanted to give me a lift, it would have been only a short trip, no more than five minutes, and we had been silent for three minutes. We were both Chinese, but I knew he wasn't a chatterbox.

"She didn't say, the professor said, that you studied very hard."

"If you study abroad, if you don't work hard, how can you face the people who sent you out to study?" To be able to make me live here just like that, if it wasn't for my hard work to study, I would have actually become a dejected little snail who only knew how to hide in his shell.

With this sentence, perhaps he would mistake me for referring to my parents. After all, there are many people in this school who would investigate my background and even the principal wouldn't know about it so clearly.

In the eyes of my classmates, just because I lived alone in the teacher's dormitory, many people would think that I was a rich young girl. This kind of thing was also the most common in school, and I even had a nanny living with me.

I saw that I was already there. As expected, I didn't even need to say three words to end this distance. At the very least, I was able to ensure my own safety and get home.

I stopped. "Thank you, I'm here."

He stopped, too, and seemed to look up to see where I was staying, and he wondered if he could really see where I was staying.

"Do you live alone?"

His voice also sounded a little curious. I didn't reply, but looked in his direction. "I was in too much of a hurry so I forgot to turn off the lights."

"Let's go up."

His words carried an commanding tone, causing me to frown for a moment. I don't like his tone, but after all, I have nothing to refute.

He's still there. Is he planning on leaving after seeing me safely get on the ship? He didn't think too much about it. After all, safety was his priority. He would just treat it as squandering the love from his compatriots.

Maybe he was a real gentleman.
