After replying to the message, I kept running towards the address Aaron gave me.
It started to snow and pedestrians stopped one after another, cheering happily.
This may not be the first snowfall this year, but it was the first snowfall since I returned to the United States.
The exhaled breath condensed into a white mist in the air.
I quickened my pace.
As I was about to reach the community where Aaron lived, I saw a lone figure standing under the streetlight from a distance.
It had gone from light snow to heavy snow. From a distance, countless snowflakes fell on Aaron’s curly brown hair, and some white snowflakes had already accumulated on the tips of his hair.
She was wearing a black jacket and jeans, and her silhouette looked much slimmer than before.
“Why did you get off?” I trotted over to him.
Aaron instantly looked up when he heard my voice and then smiled.
Somehow I found this familiar scene.
“Well, I was afraid you’d get lost,” he reached out to take the bags from me and said, “Is it hamburger again?”
“Can you change the subject?” Some things should be past! Was it fun to mention it repeatedly?
“So…thank you for your takeout?”
“I’m not here to deliver food!” I was speechless again, “I was afraid that if you drank on an empty stomach, you would end up in the hospital. Give the emergency department doctors a Merry Christmas Eve, okay?”
Aaron shrugged. He was carrying both bags in one hand and naturally took my hand with the other after opening the door downstairs.
Wait…he was holding my hand?
“Hey!” I stopped and motioned for him to behave with my eyes.
Aaron looked at me innocently, “What are you doing? Let’s go up first. I am freezing”.
His coat was unbuttoned, and it was visible that he was only wearing a black shirt underneath. Not even a scarf!
Then I noticed that Aaron’s fingers were cold. Only his palm was still warm.
His hands had always been very warm before.
Aaron squeezed my hand and motioned for me to come inside quickly.
Although I was a bit reluctant, I didn’t bother to argue with him, so I followed him to the elevator.
Unsurprisingly, when I entered Aaron’s house, I saw nothing, let alone Christmas decorations or the slightest trace of everyday human life.
The large penthouse like a model house had a wide view as always. Standing by the window, one could see the beautiful night view of
Harvard in heavy snow.
But apart from the half-drunk glass of wine on the coffee table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, I didn’t see any trace of people living in the entire house.
“Are you staying here tonight?” I reasonably suspected there weren’t even any clothes or toiletries for the night.
Aaron carried the bags in his hand into the kitchen.
“You are inviting me?” Her voice came from the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes and didn’t want to answer him anymore at the moment.
Soon, Aaron came out with a plate. After a simple treatment of the food he bought, he set up the tableware.
“Thank you for your Christmas Eve gift. ninjanovel.com ” She sat down at the dining room table, picked up her knife and fork and kept her eyes on me, obviously waiting for me to take a seat.
A pasta dish had not filled my stomach. So I didn’t pretend and sat across from Aaron.
“Do you want some champagne?” Aaron asked.
I looked at the wine by the window in surprise and looked at him again, “Are you sure you are not addicted to alcohol? How much have you drunk?
