Chapter 564 Christmas on the Ring Finger

"What were you doing?"

When Yan Zhusheng finished practicing in the piano room and walked out to take a shower, he saw Li Luo and Ying Chanxi walking out of Xixi's bedroom.

There was still a blush on Ying Chanxi's face, and it was obvious that he had not done anything serious.

"I shot some material for the MV." Ying Chanxi explained in a low voice with a red face.

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Xixi, do you want to take a shower?"

"I've already washed it." Ying Chanxi stroked his right wrist with his left hand, then touched his fingers, and glanced at Yan Zhusheng out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that she didn't notice the extra thing on her finger, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he was secretly looking forward to being discovered.

"Then I'll go wash." Yan Zhusheng didn't think much about it and turned back to his bedroom to get some clean clothes.

Li Luo returned to the master bedroom, sat at the desk, glanced at the first kiss photo frame next to the computer, and then devoted his energy to typing.

……

In the following days, Ying Chanxi contracted a disease that made him feel uncomfortable all over unless he touched his fingers.

As Ying Chanxi's desk mate, Qiao Xinyan noticed something was wrong with her at the first moment. After careful observation, she found that there seemed to be something extra on Xixi's finger.

"Xixi, what is this?" Qiao Xinyan took a closer look and found that there was a pure white ring on Ying Chanxi's right ring finger.

The ring is not big, about half a centimeter wide, and it is not an expensive brand, just an ordinary clay product.

The pure white background, the carved patterns of two pandas, one large and one small, and the words "Ying Chanxi & Li Luo" all reveal the origin of this ring.

Ying Chanxi blushed as she let Qiao Xinyan hold her hand and look at the ring. She pulled her arm back only after she had finished looking at it.

Qiao Xinyan glanced at her best friend, then looked back, and saw Li Luo braiding Yan Zhusheng's hair. The corner of her eye twitched suddenly.

However, she also took a special look at Yan Zhusheng's fingers and found that she didn't seem to have such a ring, and she was immediately a little surprised.

So she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Li Luo only sent you?"

"Yes." Ying Chanxi slightly raised her snow-white chin, and the little arrogance on her face could hardly be hidden.

Generally speaking, no one would deliberately check whether there is something extra on other people's fingers.

But Ying Chanxi is different.

She was a popular figure in the school.

Although the boys in the class were all aware of the ambiguous relationship between Ying Chanxi and Li Luo, humans are visual animals and often cannot control their eyes at all.

So there are still many boys who can't help but steal a glance at the two beautiful girls in the corner of the classroom.

Soon, everyone noticed the extra ring on Ying Chanxi's finger.

Especially worn on the ring finger.

Xie Shuchen also quietly found Li Luo and asked her if this kind of ring was expensive. He also wanted to get one for his girlfriend to add some romance.

After learning that it was just a clay product and very cheap, Xie Shuchen immediately became interested.

As for Liu Shaowen... let's not mention him.

This guy is now completely disheartened.

Ying Chanxi is very happy now, and her happiness is mixed with a little bit of girlish shyness.

In the past, I would spin the pen when I had nothing to do.

Now when I have nothing to do, I like to pinch the ring with my fingers and rotate it in circles to feel the friction between the ring and the skin of my fingers.

After Yan Zhusheng discovered the ring on Ying Chanxi's finger, he didn't say much.

However, the frequency of her getting jealous and tantrums with Li Luo in private had obviously increased a lot.

soon.

Time has come to another weekend.

The New Year’s Eve party will be held next Saturday.

Therefore, Ying Chanxi, as the director of the skit show of Class 8 of Grade 3, planned to call the participating students to rehearse at school on Sunday.

Although Yan Zhusheng has ended the provincial unified examination, he still has to take entrance examinations for various colleges and universities next spring, so he still has to go to his private tutor for lessons on weekends.

During this time, Li Luo was caught by Xu Youyu.

"Xixi and Zhusheng are not here, so why don't you spend the holiday with me today?" Xu Youyu didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning. Seeing Li Luo typing in the bedroom, he put his arms around his back, threw himself on his back and said with a smile.

"What festival is today?"

"It's Christmas."

"Chinese people don't celebrate foreign festivals." Li Luo said seriously.

"Really?" Xu Youyu blinked, rolled his eyes, then chuckled twice, didn't say much, just turned around and went back to his bedroom.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard behind Li Luo again.

The next second, Xu Youyu's voice rang in his ears: "What about now?"

Hearing the sound, Li Luo stopped typing on the keyboard and turned his head to take a look.

Then he froze.

What caught his eyes at this moment was a touch of red that made his heart beat faster.

Xu Youyu was wearing a carefully selected Christmas suit.

The upper body is a tube top design in the same color scheme, revealing her delicate collarbone and white neck, as well as an abyss that seems to make people fall into it.

She had a red shawl dotted with white fluff on her shoulders, and paired it with deer antlers on her head and two ponytails, making her look playful and cute, yet charming and attractive.

The red short skirt tightly wrapped around Xu Youyu's slender waist, revealing a section of her snow-white thighs.

The calves to the knees are wrapped in white stockings and finally fastened with a pair of high-heeled boots.

The high heels hitting the wooden floor sounded like knocking on people's hearts.

Li Luo swallowed his saliva, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I think our Chinese civilization must have the spirit of inclusiveness and tolerance. It is harmless to celebrate a foreign festival."

"Haha~" Xu Youyu laughed happily, leaned over Li Luo's back, stretched out his hand and pinched Li Luo's face, "You change your expression quite quickly."

"So where are you going to play?"

"I haven't decided yet." Xu Youyu said this, and turned to walk towards his bedroom, "I'm going to change my clothes first, and then we'll go out~"

"Wait?" Li Luo couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "Do you still want to change this set of clothes?"

"What else?" Xu Youyu turned his head and raised his eyebrows, laughing, "Or maybe you hope that others can appreciate it too?"

"Well... forget it then." Li Luo immediately changed his attitude and said that it would be fine to change clothes. "It's cold now, so you should wear more clothes."

"Ah."

Xu Youyu just smiled, then went back to the bedroom, changed into a down jacket, and took Li Luo out for a date.

They found a restaurant on Ningshan Avenue outside the south gate of Qianjiang University to have lunch.

Chatting while eating.

"When will the subway over there be completed?" Xu Youyu asked curiously, "It's been under construction for a year, right?"

"How can a subway be built so quickly?" Li Luo said with a smile, "I guess the Times Tianjie opposite the West Gate will be completed first." In Li Luo's impression, the Times Tianjie commercial district was completed and opened during the summer vacation of 17.

At that time, the college entrance examination for Li Luo and other high school students had just ended.

It was not until the spring of 18 that the subway entrances next to Times Tianjie and Qianjiang University were finally opened.

It took about two and a half years, which is considered fast.

In another six or seven years, new subway lines will be opened in Jincheng Community where Li Luo's parents live, the People's Square in the south, and the roundabout in the east.

However, the real estate market had already entered a cold winter at that time, and even if the subway was opened, it would not have much impact on housing prices.

What's more, later on, because of Lin Xiuhong's illness, they sold the house in Jincheng Community.

But now, the situation is naturally different.

At this time, housing prices in Yuhang City are still on the rise.

Especially after the opening of the subway at this intersection, the housing prices of Bi Hai Lan Ting and the three stores on West Street will all rise.

But now, Li Luo no longer needs to rely on the increase in housing prices to make a profit.

My dad seems very happy running a hotpot restaurant now. My uncle also bought a new car with the help of the milk tea shop and also found an aunt for him.

Even if the prices of these stores go up later, there is actually no need for him to sell them.

As for Bi Hai Lan Ting, even if the family has more people and cannot accommodate it in the future and needs to move to a bigger villa, it will be an unforgettable memory of their student days and it is impossible to sell it.

“Once Times Paradise Walk is built, we won’t have to go to Intime Department Store all the time for shopping.” Xu Youyu said while eating.

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, and then said, "But there will be a Yintai City built near the South Station in two years. It will be connected to the subway line. It will only take about ten minutes to get there by subway from here. It's quite convenient."

The two chatted about various topics.

They talked about everything from business districts and subways to new online books and interesting things happening in their respective schools.

"Oh, I really can't stand that guy named Song Yu. He is always available to Jiang Feiya." Xu Youyu complained halfway through his meal, "But Jiang Feiya is still keeping in touch with several boys at the same time, and she doesn't miss out on dates."

"Some girls, after realizing their appearance advantage, will gradually learn to use it to get what they want." Li Luo said simply, "while other girls will restrain their thoughts in this regard, this is the difference in family education."

"So you're praising my parents?" Xu Youyu laughed, "They're not here, can't you just praise me directly?"

"Praising someone in person is just flattery. My praise in private is genuine." Li Luo said seriously.

"Hmph~" Xu Youyu raised the corner of his mouth and rewarded him with a piece of fat and lean pork belly.

After lunch, the two went shopping at Intime Department Store. Xu Youyu picked out two new sets of clothes for him and also bought him a set of Santa Claus cosplay costume.

"Why did you buy this?" Li Luo looked at the bright red thing in the bag speechlessly and couldn't help but say.

"For you to wear."

"Why do I have to wear this?"

"When we go home tonight, I'll wear the reindeer suit and you'll wear the Santa suit, is that not okay?" Xu Youyu leaned close to Li Luo's ear and whispered with hot air, "You'll have to ride on me to deliver gifts to people celebrating the festival tonight."

"I remember Santa Claus rides in a carriage." Li Luo reminded him, "He just puts the reins on you."

"Oh~" Xu Youyu hummed twice and looked at him meaningfully, "So you like this tune? Then I'll go buy a rope and take it home?"

Li Luo: "...That's totally unnecessary."

"You hesitated, you're not really moved, are you?"

"Don't spit blood at me."

……

In the evening, the two returned to Bi Hai Lan Ting carrying the vegetables they had just bought.

Xu Youyu went to pack his newly bought clothes.

Li Luo went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Considering that today is Christmas, Li Luo simply prepared a Western meal.

At this moment, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng both went to school for evening self-study, while Li Luo took a leave.

Kong Junxiang now gives him complete laissez-faire. As long as no one is killed, he will be satisfied with everything else.

So Li Luo asked for leave for Sunday evening self-study for two consecutive weeks, and Kong Junxiang had no objection.

"It looks pretty good."

After Xu Youyu packed his clothes, he strolled to the kitchen and watched Li Luo fry French fries, make popcorn chicken, grill chicken wings, fry steak, and add pasta and fried eggs.

Finally, garnish with boiled broccoli and cherry tomatoes, and a proper Western meal is ready.

While instructing Xu Youyu to take the plates out, Li Luo took out Xu Youyu's cocktail glass and mixed two glasses of wine-red cocktails. They looked no different from red wine, but tasted a little easier to drink.

The two of them came to the dining table.

However, Xu Youyu was still not satisfied and strongly demanded a change of clothes.

So in the end, Xu Youyu put on the Christmas reindeer suit that he had shown Li Luo in the morning.

Li Luo was forced to wear a Santa Claus suit, and the store even gave him a sack and two pairs of red socks.

“Hahahaha~” Xu Youyu couldn’t help laughing when he saw that he even had a big white beard. “No need to wear a beard, otherwise how are you going to eat?”

Xu Youyu helped him take off his beard, and then he took out two candles from somewhere and lit them.

After turning off the lights in the living room, the two sat down face to face at the dining table and enjoyed the candlelight dinner.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Youyu felt like something was missing, so he went to the bedroom to get the CD, put it on the TV in the living room, and played "Mojito" sung by Li Luo.

After the two finished their dinner, Xu Youyu and Li Luo raised their glasses, drank the last of the wine, then stood up, held hands, and danced slowly to the music.

"It looks a bit funny for you to dance in this." Xu Youyu couldn't help laughing.

"What else?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "How about Sister Yu, lie down and I'll ride you to deliver the gifts."

"Humph." Xu Youyu raised the corner of his mouth, and then said, "What about my gift? Give me the gift first, and then I'll let you ride it."

"Here." Li Luo took out a red sock from the sack and handed it to Xu Youyu, "A gift."

"This is what I bought, okay?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't you know?" Li Luo laughed, "Put the red socks at the head of the bed, and you will see the gift from Santa Claus in it the next day."

"I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore."

"Of course, so I've already put your gift in there."

"Really?" Xu Youyu took the red socks doubtfully and reached inside.

Nothing.

"No?" Li Luo showed a strange expression, took the red socks, reached in and felt around.

"Are you still teasing me here?" Xu Youyu thought Li Luo was joking with him.

But the next second, Li Luo took something out of his red socks.

"Look?" Li Luo smiled and took Xu Youyu's hand and put it on her ring finger. "Isn't it here?"
