Early on Christmas morning, Winnie was awakened by the movement downstairs.
She lifted the quilt and went to the window wearing slippers. When the curtains were opened, she saw a pure white world. It's snowing at this time today, but it's still very festive.
By the time Winnie finished washing and walked downstairs, the Christmas tree next to the sofa in the living room had already been lit up with lights. Although Chinese people do not have the habit of celebrating Christmas, they do as the local customs do, so Winnie still bought a Christmas tree when she came back. The decorations above should have been hung up by Ji Shuwen and others last night.
In addition to the gifts Winnie received under the Christmas tree, she was planning to give them to these ghosts. Ji Shuwen was squatting under the Christmas tree holding a bunny doll and looking at the gifts. The beautiful wrapping paper and ribbons and bows attracted the children's attention.
Winnie walked over and said, "You can take it apart now, and you can take it apart and play with mine."
Because she had money and didn't have to worry about pocket money, Winnie always prepared more than one gift for them.
Ji Shuwen shook her head: "We have to wait until night."
"Okay then." Winnie followed her.
It wasn't the Ghost Festival, so these evil spirits didn't express any opinion on Winnie's behavior of leaving them behind and running out on a date. In other words, as long as they have been dead, they have not celebrated festivals for a long time. If they can celebrate the Ghost Festival, Winnie has a conscience.
After eating two big buns filled with three-inch filling, Winnie went back upstairs to choose clothes and put on makeup. She was driving to Washington for a date with Rhett today and had to leave early.
Winnie didn't walk out of the house until nearly 8:30. She took a look at the yard of Eisen's house next door. A few days ago, Lisa said that she and Jamie would spend Christmas at her parents' house this year, and she also wanted to bring Winnie, who was alone, with her. Winnie was very moved, but still refused.
Anyone who is familiar with Winnie knows that her parents divorced and started a new family. She is a poor child whose father does not care for her mother. The irresponsible parents usually didn't contact her, so Winnie's friends all invited her before Christmas.
It's really nice to be cared about, but even if she doesn't have a date, as an outsider she won't go to someone else's house for a family gathering. But she had received her thoughts, so she was very careful when preparing gifts for them.
The snow on the road has been swept to both sides. Along the way, Christmas decorations are hung on the windows of every house, and a group of children are rolling big snowballs in the yard. Winnie turned on the air conditioner in the car and listened to music as she walked through the center of the town. After passing through the street signs of Radbilla, a winding road disappeared into the winter woods.
…
Spencer Reid came here via subway transfer, so he arrived much earlier than Winnie.
These days, the enthusiastic Garcia and Morgan gave him a detailed guide, compared Winnie's cuisine and made a reservation for the most suitable restaurant. Which mall should I go to if I want to buy clothes? Which street should I go to if I want to experience the festive atmosphere? What is the latest movie?
Since the excuse was to watch a movie, Red studied it carefully. There are many new movies for Christmas. He used to not pay attention to all kinds of horror movies, but since he learned that ghosts exist in this world, he paid special attention to them.
This time there are two horror films released, one from the United States and the other from Thailand. The American film tells the story of a family's terrifying experience after moving into a haunted house. The Thai horror film was promoted as "adapted to the most horrifying true story." Rhett and Winnie discussed it and decided to watch Thai horror film.
Chinese horror film.
In fact, Rhett felt a little regretful after buying it, because obviously another heart-warming romance film is more suitable for this holiday.
During Christmas in previous years, Rhett would either be away from work or sitting in his apartment reading a book. When sending Christmas gifts to his mother this year, Rhett happily and shyly told his mother that he would spend Christmas with a particularly beautiful girl this year.
Although he didn't know if there would be a result with Winnie, Rhett was undoubtedly very happy on this day.
When Winnie's car drove to the agreed place, she saw Rhett standing on the side of the street looking into the traffic. He was wearing a thick coat, a scarf tied around his neck, and his half-length hair had been trimmed. He was carrying a big bag in his hand.
As the car drove past, Winnie honked the horn.
"Winnie!" Rhett's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Winnie.
She drove the car to Red and stopped, lowered the window and said, "Get in the car."
So Rhett happily walked around to the other side and got into the passenger seat. He turned to Winnie and said, "Merry Christmas, Winnie."
Winnie waited for him to sit down and drove forward, and responded with a smile: "Merry Christmas, Spencer."
Hearing Winnie call his name, Rhett stopped even putting on his seat belt, all he could think about was: She called me Spencer!
In Rhett's life, only his family and a few people would call him by his name. Even though he and Morgan had a good relationship, they always called each other by their last name politely. The last person to call his name was JJ.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that there was no movement next to her. Winnie glanced sideways at him and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Rhett seemed to be reconnected after a power outage. His language system stalled again, and then he said with a vague joy: "You called my name."
After hearing this, Winnie glanced at him again: "What's wrong? Aren't you calling me by my name too? If you're not used to it, I can continue to call you Red."
"No! Please continue to call me Spencer!" Rhett was afraid that she would change her mind and express her position immediately.
It was just a name, which Winnie found a little funny. According to the address provided by Red, Winnie drove the car outside the reserved restaurant.
It was a bit early to eat at this time, but at least there was air conditioning in the restaurant. The two of them each picked up their bags containing gifts and trotted into the restaurant through the snow.
"Welcome you two, do you have a reservation?" The waiter in the restaurant greeted him warmly. After confirming the reservation information left by Red, he led the two of them to the second floor.
Rhett had chosen a window seat on the second floor. From here, he could see the street below. Today he could enjoy the beautiful snow scene. There is a huge Christmas tree placed in the open space at the entrance of the restaurant, with colorful lights and balls hung on it. The bells sway and ring softly when the wind blows.
After ordering, the waiter took the menu and left. The two sat face to face and stared at each other silently for a while. Rhett picked up the gift bag and handed it to Winnie. Although they both knew what each other's gifts were, they still happily exchanged them.
For Rhett, a book he wants to read is a good gift. If the person giving the gift is a girl he likes, it would be a better feeling. For Winnie, the gift she wants most is a world without horror movies, but no one can achieve this, but delicious candies are also a good gift.
But as soon as she got the bag, Winnie felt that the weight was wrong. She took out the gift box inside,
It feels quite heavy. Her expression became strange. Although she said she was giving candies, she wasn't giving them by the pound, was she?
"Can I open it?" Winnie asked.
Rhett nodded.
Carefully unwrap the outer wrapping paper, revealing a white box underneath. Winnie also heard the sound of glass clinking as the box shook.
Huh? Isn't it candy?
When Winnie took out the glass bottle inside, she was shocked because it was full of orange candy balls.
&n
bsp; "So many?!"
There are only a dozen candies in a pack, and there are many flavors. There are only 2-3 orange-flavored candies in a pack at most. With such a big bottle in front of you, how many packs should you buy?
Winnie really didn't expect that Rhett could surprise her with the gift she knew in advance. It's easy to tell whether you're careful or not.
"Where are the other candies?" Winnie asked.
"I took it and gave it to Morgan and the others," Reid said. This brand of candy tastes really good. They drink less coffee now, and they just take a candy when they have nothing to do.
Shaking the glass bottle and listening to the collision of the candy balls, Winnie's eyes were full of smiles: "Thank you, I like it very much."
Rhett saw that she liked it, and he felt very happy.
They had a delicious lunch at noon, and Garcia's recommendation was indeed right. After lunch, the two left the restaurant. Since it was not yet time for the movie to start, they walked around to eat.
By this time the snow had stopped and there were many pedestrians on the road. A couple walked hand in hand, and the girl had a red rose in her coat pocket.
For couples, every holiday can probably be spent as Valentine's Day. Seeing more and more people bringing roses, Winnie guessed that there would be a rose vendor ahead. Sure enough, not long after walking, I saw a flower vendor wearing a woolen hat and a scarf covering his face, shivering in the cold wind.
When Winnie and Rhett walked by, the vendor greeted warmly: "Hello sir! Do you want to buy a rose for your girlfriend?"
Rhett subconsciously stopped. He looked at the various roses on the stall, and then looked at Winnie. Winnie is willing to hang out with him, so he won't be rejected if he gives her a rose, right?
"Rose." He said hesitantly: "What color do you like?"
The roses on the hawker stalls are red, pink, white, yellow, and obviously dyed blue. Rhett thought they were all pretty, but he didn't know which one Winnie liked more.
Judging from his behavior of asking Winnie when buying roses, he cares more about Winnie's preferences than making the decision himself. Although for girls, they will like any color rose given by a boy they have a crush on.
At this time, other couples stopped in front of the stall, and the girl squatted down to pick roses from the buckets.
This is the first time Winnie has received a rose from the opposite sex. Although it is just a flower, she still feels happy about it. She leaned over and picked through them, finding them all pretty good-looking. If you were to ask her what her favorite color was, she really couldn't tell.
"Then let's go for red," said Winnie.
So Rhett bought a red rose so that Winnie could have roses like other girls.
"Here you go." Winnie handed another red rose to Rhett.
Seeing the red rose handed to him, Rhett's heart beat rapidly.
He reached out and took the rose, his eyes fell on Winnie's face and he couldn't bear to look away.
The beautiful girl winked at him playfully: "Boys can also receive roses~"
Under the gaze of the couple next to him, Rhett looked down at the rose sheepishly and smiled: "Thank you, it's very beautiful."
After the two of them left with pink bubbles, the boy among the couple picking out roses squinted at his girlfriend.
The girlfriend paused and started to take out her wallet in a funny way: "Buy, buy, buy!"
Without anything they want to buy, they wander around aimlessly. While walking, Winnie's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Dean's name. Rhett looked over with feeling, but Winnie had already answered the phone.
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Winchester."
Dean's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Merry Christmas, Winnie. But why don't you call me by my name?"
Hearing the relaxation in his voice, Winnie guessed that they were not at work. So she followed his words and changed her words: "Okay, Dean, what's the matter?"
Rhett was sure that Winnie's suitor should be on the other end of the phone. He thought a little sadly that Winnie just called his name today, and another person asked her to change her name on the phone.
The happy mood I had just received when I received the rose seemed to be no longer so happy because of this phone call. Rhett could only console himself that at least this man did not date Winnie on Christmas Day.
They just gave each other roses!
Dean: "I just wanted to call and ask, did you receive my gift?"
All the Christmas gifts were placed under the Christmas tree, and she didn't open the express boxes. So Winnie really didn't know that Dean had prepared a Christmas gift for her.
Winnie was a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, the gifts I received haven't been opened yet. If it's convenient for you, I can send you a gift."
Although Rhett pretended to be looking at the scenery on the roadside, his mood was a little brighter because Winnie didn't give Dean a gift. This shows that their previous relationship has not reached the point of exchanging gifts at Christmas.
Well, although Rhett didn't want to admit it, if he hadn't made an appointment with Winnie to watch a movie in advance, he probably wouldn't have received her gift.
Dean: "We're going to another place tonight."
Being a witcher is indeed very hard, even if it is Christmas there is no holiday. But Winnie didn't like to owe favors, so she said, "I'll give it to you in person next time."
Dean laughed when he heard this: "So Winnie is also looking forward to the next meeting?"
In a fast food restaurant in a small town, Sam pinched his French fries and looked away with an unbearable expression.
Winnie, who was on a date, touched her nose a little guiltily. Well, she was not in two different places, it was just that this man was better at flirting.
Noticing Rhett's silent and sour gaze, Winnie silently looked at the sky.
Help!
There's a big stuffed animal teasing me on the other end of the phone! Minut next to him was sad.
Although she was obviously single, Winnie didn't know why she fell into the embarrassment of something that wasn't cheating, but seemed to be cheating.
Dean on the other end of the phone didn't know Winnie's current situation, so he asked in a good mood: "What are you doing now?"
"On a date."
Dean's smile froze and he asked in disbelief: "What?"
Winnie repeated: "I'm on a date."
Dean: "..."
Sam, who was sitting opposite, looked at his brother's smile and slowly cracked.
He raised his hand and waved in front of Dean's eyes: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
After hanging up the phone, Dean quietly said to his brother: "Do you know what is more sad than having to exorcise an evil spirit on Christmas Day?"
Sam took a bite of his burger with a deadpan expression and said, "In your brother's face?"
The younger brother had a heart attack, but he still managed to continue what he said before: "The girl on the other end of the phone is dating someone else."!
