Chapter 59.1
Cheng Jia Yang
Right now, the problem that troubled Xiao Hua was, how should we celebrate Christmas? What gifts should we send to everyone? She listed a long list for herself.
I was eating oranges, and watching TV.
“Jia Yang, what should I send to your mother? Do you have any opinion?” She asked me.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know what she lies.” I honestly replied, “Don’t buy anything expensive, otherwise if she doesn’t like it, you’ll have squandered all that money.”
“I just knew it. Asking you was equivalent to not asking at all.”
I went to my own room to play on my computer.
The moment I opened my computer, it repeatedly restarted. It seemed that it had gotten infected with a virus.
Tomorrow I would have to get the unit repaired.
I heard Xiao Hua going to the bathroom to bathe. I said: “Beauty, can I use your computer for a moment?”
The sound of the water was very loud and she didn’t hear me.
I could only give up.
I went back to the kitchen. I saw that the lid of Xiao Hua’s laptop was still open.
I opened the TV, and went on a channel that was playing comic dialogue.
I looked back again and saw Xiao Hua had no intentions of closing it.

Qiao Fei
Christmas.
Loneliness was really shameful.
Xiao Deng said: “I’ve found someone else to play with. Sis, are you all alone?”
“How am I alone? I am partying with friends.”
I called each one, one by one.
Xiao Dan said: “Sorry, I’ve already made an appointment.”
Bo Bo said: “Ai ya, I have to return to my home.”
I yelled at her: “You aren’t even on break right now. What return home? You don’t even know how to lie anymore!”
Then, I hurled the phone away.
I had a very bad premonition. These two bad guys. Burying their heads in the sand, and having an affair before I could.
I went to the supermarket and bought big packages and small parcels of snacks. When I sat on a taxi to return home, I thought, last year, I celebrated Christmas in France. At that time, I even talked to myself angrily and told myself that next year I wanted a packed house of grandsons and sons.
But, last year, Zu Zu Ferlande saved me at the last minute; this year, I was afraid I would really celebrate it alone like this.
I got another idea and found some poise within me again.
It was nothing more than sleeping a bit. Wouldn’t it pass?
I carried a bag upstairs when the cell phone in my bag rang. I troubled myself to take it out, and the moment I saw the number I knew it was Cheng Jia Ming.
“Hello?”
“I asked your secretary already. She said that among your busy schedule you would have time to meet me.”
Why did these words sound so ugly?
“Are you speaking in a classical dialect? I don’t understand.”
Cheng Jia Ming laughed: “I’ll say, Qiao Fei, I saw you return home myself. Do you have any plans today? Let’s go dancing.”
I said: “You’re underneath my home?”
“Yup. Let’s go.”
Cheng Jia Ming’s invitation made one get restless.
Unless I really wasn’t willing to celebrate Christmas like this.
“Then wait for me a bit. I’ll come as soon as I change into some other clothes.”
“Don’t rush.”
I changed into a skirt, powdered my face, and put on some makeup so my face was white. My lips were red, and made my hair seem blacker, as my eyes glistened.
Cheng Jia Ming drove the car himself, carefully looking at me: “Wow, not bad. The sparrow has become a phoenix.”
I said: “You’re the sparrow.”
He laughed, started the car: “It’s rare that a woman finishes putting on makeup so quickly.”
I also knew this was an expert with women and asked him: “What’s the longest time you’ve waited for someone?”
“This is not an exaggeration. 3 hours.”
“Wow. You wait for so long?”
“Later, I cancel the activities and go eat noodles myself, and let the woman remove her makeup.”
When we got to a famous nightclub, Cheng Jia Ming opened the car door for me, and took my hand as I got off. He praised: “Qiao Fei, you’re so beautiful.”
“Dr. Cheng, what is the motive of your complimenting me?”
He suddenly tightened his grip on my hand: “Maiden, I am not afraid to tell you. I had an ill intent.”
At this moment, the lobby manager came and reported: “Mr. Cheng, the table is ready. Please come this way.”
I took back my hand, and entered with Cheng Jia Ming.
There were sure a lot of people.
It was a debauched and corrupted environment, a show of happiness and prosperity.
As we weaved back and forth through the crowd, we saw that the newspaper had a celebrity lady big star’s face, drunken look, lively.
We sat down in the front table, which was the best place to watch the show.
The stage is a huge white mussel, a bright dazzling singer pearl stood inside to sing for the guests. The band was in the periphery, the fountain (area around the stage with many people) was full of song and dance. On the dance floor, there were foreign beautiful girls doing eclectic performances.
This extravagant luxuriousness was painted with gentleness.
Cheng Jiaming poured some good Champagne into my cup.
“Come, Qiao Fei, drink.”
I touched cups with him, and drank up.
After I drank this cup, I became anxious. My face got hot. I looked at Cheng Jia Ming: “Merry Christmas, ah.”

Cheng Jia Yang
Xiao Hua and her friends came back. I was about to smoke, the cigarette almost in my mouth when she snatched it away.
“Hey!” I said.
“Why have you been smoking so fiercely lately?”
“Give it back.”
She looked at me and did not compromise. My cigarette was fiercely pressed into the ashtray.
I was about to attack when a familiar person came up to say hi: “Jia Yang, Xiao Hua, how are you guys doing? It’s really coincidental. I just saw Jia Ming.”
“He’s here?” I asked.
“Yes, right there. See.”
I sighted him through the crowd. Not far away at a table was my brother, Jia Ming. Beside him was Qiao Fei. She leaned her head while speaking to Jia Ming, her face red.
“That’s right,” I said, “It’s Jia Ming. Come on, Xiao Hua, let’s go say hi.”
Instead, she sat down.
I caught her arm.
“Come on, let’s go together.”
When Qiao Fei saw my face, it was really hard to describe.
I said, Merry Christmas. I hugged my brother and kissed her face. To Xiao Hua I said: “Oh, Xiao Hua, do you think it’s coincidental or not? Qiao Fei is my colleague and she’s even my brother’s friend.”
Xiao Hua shook hands with her: “Really? Then that is really destiny.”
What kind of a person was Qiao Fei? She quickly resumed the state of the atmosphere, and intimately said to Xiao Hua: “You are Wen Xiao Hua? I watch your program everyday. It’s really very excellent.”
Jia Ming said: “Where are you guys sitting? Why not sit together?”
Xiao Hua said: “Probably not……”
I already called the waitress to add more seats to Jia Ming’s table.
Jia Ming called for more red wine and personally poured some for everyone.
Before I drank some, I pressed his hand and said: “Jia Ming, brother, how long has it been since we last drank together? This cup, if you do not want to drink any, I will drink some.” I pressed him like this and drank the whole cup dry.
Jia Ming laughed: “I know you are maganimous, with a lot of programs. Be more leisurely.”
Xiao Hua said: “Jia Yang, I also salute you……”
I pressed her cup down on the table: “Xiao Hua, let me do it. I must thank you for being so good to me all this time. I have never said thank you.”
I drained the cup again.
For me, these two cups of red wine didn’t count as much. It really didn’t count as much, but my state of seeing the wine made the hearts of the other three stop. I laughed in my heart. I have always been schemed against by all of you. Why not be a little more straightforward today. What is the point of covering everything up?
I raised my cup towards Qiao Fei.
Jia Ming said: “Ai ya, this song is good. Xiao Hua, will you accompany me for a dance?”
He didn’t say anything more and dragged Xiao Hua away. My hand still held the winecup. I looked at Qiao Fei and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Her pair of eyes looked at me mistily.
I didn’t know how long it had been, but the music suddenly stopped. The whole scene went black, and the sound of the host said: “To all guests, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.
In the darkness, the whole scene was lit up with numerous candles, as Auld Lang Syne sounded. In front of me, Fei’s face, under the ambiguous halo, her beauty was less real.
I raised my wine cup towards her: “Merry Christmas, I wish you, happiness.”
After this cup of wine, I became completely drunk.
