Just entered the holiday season.

Thomas meant to wait until next year when they continue working and then discuss it in detail.

Saying that they wanted to go home early to be with their children, the couple left first. It is not certain whether they can reach an agreement.

Only Han Chudong and Mochizuki Kiko were left.

The atmosphere was a little awkward as they left the theater entrance and got back into the car heading east.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening. After looking at Han Chudong several times, she took the initiative to say, "Just take me to Dodger Stadium. I'll get off there and take a taxi home by myself."

Looking at Yue Xizi's slightly wary tone.

It seemed as if he was worried that Han Chudong, who was younger than him, would make more demands because of today's meeting which was like a date.

Living in the open Southern California, not returning home at this time after going out with a man is equivalent to sending some signals, but Kiko Mochizuki did not mean that.

She lives with her mother and received a relatively conservative education since childhood. She was afraid that Han Chudong would think too much and cause embarrassment.

Therefore, Kyoko Mochizuki felt it necessary to express her attitude directly.

In her opinion, a 19-year-old young man's mind is not as innocent as that of a little boy of a few years old, so it is better to make things clear as soon as possible.

Han Chudong has a high EQ. He looked sideways at her and found that this "young lady" had a flustered look in her eyes. Of course he could guess what she was thinking about and couldn't help laughing.

A boring organization distributed questionnaires to tens of thousands of female students in American high schools and colleges, and found that more than half of them did something embarrassing for the first time on Christmas Eve.

This data can no longer be explained by coincidence, so "Christmas Eve" has a new three-character nickname that begins with "失".

If we exclude working hours, tonight is the first time the two of them have gone out together. Han Chudong didn't have high expectations, but that didn't stop him from teasing Mochizuki Kiko.

There were only the two of them in the car, so they could talk more freely. He drove and asked with a smile on his face, "Is today a date?"

"Um?"

My mentality collapsed instantly and the temperature on my face rose rapidly.

Kyoko Mochizuki had never heard such offensive words from Han Chudong before, and was a little confused for a moment.

"It's a date, right?"

"this……"

"Then I will definitely take you home. It's too late and it's not safe to take a taxi. I just happen to be on my way."

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Han Chudong gave her a way out after teasing her and did not dare to force her to say what he wanted to hear. Their relationship was not yet that good.

This is probably the difference between old birds and young birds.

Each girl has a different personality and different ways of getting along with her. Based on his understanding of Kyoko Mochizuki, if he pushed her too hard, it would leave a grudge.

Hearing this, he began to relax.

Kyoko Mochizuki held it in for a long time, brewing her words.

In the end, I could only say thank you, and nothing else seemed appropriate to say.

If I admit it, I will seem too frivolous, and I am too shy to nod my head. If I object, I am afraid that Han Chudong will get angry and destroy the tacit understanding between them.

That's my personality.

In fact, the fact that she had no resistance at all to Han Chudong asking her out today said a lot.

Afterwards, I really sent her home safely, but because of Han Chudong's problem tonight, Mochizuki Kiko might have to toss and turn until very late before she can fall asleep...

——————————————

Driving home alone.

Han Chudong thought of Helena Bergman.

I used to think I knew that girl very well, but now that I think about it carefully, I don’t know that much.

He asked Miss Bergman the same question as to whether they were dating.

The girlfriend I finally got just disappeared, her whole family moved away, and she only sent me a photo without much information.

Any man would feel depressed if encountering such a thing, especially under the influence of the festive atmosphere of Christmas Eve, it is easier for people to feel sad and regretful.

After all, I don't have the talent to suddenly turn my back on someone. If the other person hadn't left, maybe I could have maintained a stable relationship, but now it seems impossible.

I am not so nostalgic as to choose to wait for a girlfriend whose presence I can’t even say for sure will appear again in the future.

There is no such thing as a straight life leading to the end.

The road of life is full of twists and turns, with forks in the road and many dead ends.

What can I do? I can only think about it alone in the dead of night...

East Coast.

It's snowing heavily in Philadelphia tonight.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Next to the National Independence Historical Park in the city, a girl wearing a white cotton coat and an ear-covering winter hat was walking home alone on the snow.

He was holding a bag with several bottles of beer in it.

All the nearby shops were closed, and she walked a long way before she found a store where she could buy alcohol. It was just after ten o'clock when she left, and it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

My mother goes to bed early and I am not sleepy either. Although the snowy road is difficult to walk on, I don’t feel that the trip is a waste. It feels good to walk and daydream alone in the snow.

At this time.

She climbed the steps to a house, took off her gloves and opened the door with her key.

When you enter the house, take off your hat first.

Look at this face, isn’t that the Helena Bergman that Han Chudong has been thinking about all the time?

When she wasn't smiling, she looked a little serious.

The heater was still on, and after changing her clothes and shoes, she opened the beer and put the can into the warm water, otherwise it would be too cold to drink.

In order to buy some wine, she actually walked for nearly three hours in the snow. The thought of this made her feel unbelievable. A normal person would not do such a thing. She was too bored tonight.

Mr. Bergman has now become a formal employee of the FBI headquarters in Quantico, and so has Mrs. Bergman.

Neither of them went home today.

It's funny.

Until she was eighteen, Helena thought her parents were ordinary people who ran a travel agency.

It was not until someone tried to kidnap her and said a bunch of incomprehensible things in a strange accent that she escaped and interrogated her parents, and finally learned the truth.

It turns out that all identities are just cover-ups.

He stayed in Sweden to collect intelligence related to the Warsaw Pact. Because he did something big, he was targeted and his identity was exposed, so he had to withdraw to the United States.

The reasons for leaving Los Angeles are more complicated.

Helena Bergman was not clear about the specific situation, she only knew that someone was not going to let her parents go, and it would not be safe even if they returned to their homeland, so they had no choice but to move away again.

Recently, her parents only come home occasionally. Helena Bergman usually lives in school. It's okay during school hours, but she would be bored during holidays, so she wants to drink some wine tonight.

It's not a pleasant feeling to say goodbye to your old life completely and to be forbidden from contacting old friends you've known since childhood.

There's nothing I can do about it, my family situation is different from that of ordinary people.

While drinking and watching TV, she thought of something and opened the drawer and took out a red paper box with words such as "Super Magic Ball" and "Mango Company" written on it.

He smiled and said to himself, "Now that the business has grown so big, that guy should be very happy..."
