Chapter 42 Celebrate The Christmas With Her (Part One)
As long as she had time, Lily would study the bracelet. On weekends, she went to the most bustling place in A City to buy a basketball for Quincy and then spent a long time to find a customized shop. When the Quincy's gift was ready, Lily took back half of her heart. And the rest was, of course, a gift for James.
A disabled person chose to make a bracelet, Lily almost finished it in tears. It took a long time to finish it, but when she looked again, the design was quite twisted, just like the works of a primary school student. This was probably the most successful one Lily did after dismantling dozens of times. At least, it was done. Lily wanted to give it to James directly. Otherwise, she couldn't do better.
Finally, Christmas came.
At the day before Christmas, which was also Christmas eve, Lily and Quincy sent apples to each other according to the trend. In fact, Lily received many well wrapped apples. Quincy speculated that those apples were from the men who admired Lily. And Lily also guessed that those apples with a pink card Quincy received were from her girl fans.
The man gave the apples he received to his roommates, and then he gave the apples he received to his classmates who often sat together with him.
That day was Friday, and there was the Christmas party in the evening. On Saturday evening, there was a party for single people. So after class, Lily gave the basketball hidden under the table to Quincy as a gift. It was not until Quincy went back to her dormitory that she opened the box. As soon as she saw the gift, she was so moved that she almost burst into tears. In a hurry, she called Lily.
"Oh my God!" Although Quincy said so, her tone sounded like she was crying, "Lillias, I'm really moved! I didn't even think about gift, but you prepared it for me. I'm going to die!! I will definitely treat this basketball specially, make a rotating exhibition stand for it and watch it every day."

Lily tried to comfort Quincy, thinking that her crying would be a splendid scene. She said, "ah, what's the relationship between us! You can rest assured to use it, and I guarantee it won't fade the color! Don't cry... Don't cry..."
After Lily finally calmed the Quincy, Lily turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car, which seemed a little different from usual. She looked at it again and was sure that it was not the way home! Lily knew the driver. She asked, "this isn't the way home. Where are we going?"
The driver was still driving the car steadily. He politely replied to Lily, "Miss Lillias, it's Mr. James's order. I don't know exactly where we will go. How about you make a call to Mr. James?"
"No, thanks." It is arranged by James?' Why didn't I know that. Though Lily was confused, she stopped asking about it. Since it was James's arrangement, he must have a reason, It was a longer way than that of going home. Lily felt a little bored, so she leaned against the back seat. With the heater in the car, she suddenly fell asleep.
Lily didn't know how long it had passed. When she finally woke up, the lights were on. There was even James sitting next to her!
"Ah!" Lily was startled by the man in front of her.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" James put away the papers in his hands and looked at Lily.
"Ah! I just woke up and now you are here suddenly. I'm scared. "Lily calmed down and began to massage her numb legs.
"Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"No, thanks. I'm awake now."
"Then get off the car. I planned to take you here tomorrow, but I have to attend a meeting tomorrow. So let's come here today." As soon as he finished speaking, James noticed that Lily had given up massaging her legs. Thus, he got out of the car and went to the other side to open the door for her.
Lily didn't hear what James said, but got out of the car obediently.
As soon as Lily got out of the car, before she even had a good look at the destination, she was taken away by James.
Following behind James, Lily looked at his back. It was already December and the weather became very cold. Then, James wrapped the coat on him, which made him look even more isolated from the outside as if he didn't care about the world at all.
After a long time of taking the elevator Lily finally began to wobble. But James stood straight all the time. Lily had worn boots today, and if she kept standing there for a long time, the soles of her feet would hurt.
Just as Lily thought that she could hardly keep balance, James suddenly pulled her close. "You can lean against me.
Lily leaned almost entirely against James. After a moment of surprise, she felt a sense of safety.
The elevator stopped at their destination.
The doors of the elevator opened. A waiter was waiting outside, wearing a bow tie. Seeing James and Lily, the waiter bent slightly and said, "good evening, Mr. James. Everything is ready as Mr. James ordered. Please follow me."
As soon as James and Lily entered the room, they followed the waitress. Lily had never been here before, and looked around curiously.
On her way, Lily suddenly found something wrong!
here! here! She could even see the night view of the whole city!
It turned out that this was the Flourishing Hotel known as the ridge of A City. In fact, great height was not the most attractive attribute of this hotel. The most famous part of Flourishing Hotel was its top floor, where people can get the night view of the whole A City. Besides, the appearance of the top floor was made from pure glass. After a heated kept on, the flowers would bloom all year round. So no matter it was in summer or in winter, the night scene was wonderful.
Such an attractive place was hard to reserve a seat. Some people wanted to use this place to make the beauty smile. They had to pay a high price, and they also had to be very patient to wait for the seat. Lily didn't know that, but she thought it was beautiful here. As soon as they entered, they smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers. The light was not shining, and it did not take away the charm of the beautiful night scene. Lily's whole attention was drawn by the night scenery. She immediately ran to the periphery to enjoy the night scenery carefully and exclaimed "it's so beautiful."
It was not until she had walked around the periphery that Lily remembered James. Lily looked around and found James standing at a table. Lily walked towards James and sat opposite him.
The dining table was not big, and it didn't look like that they are far away from each other. The table was covered with a white cloth. A candlestick was on it and the candlesticks were lit up. There were all kinds
of Western food on the table and Lily found that they were all western food. Fortunately, she had learned to use knife and fork recently, otherwise she would make a fool of herself.
After the waitress put the coats of James and Lily in a tidy place and put them away, she turned off the lights and walked out of the room.
The whole floor was now filled with only Lily and James.
When the light was turned off, Lily could only look at James through the candle light. In the candlelight, the look in James's eyes was as gentle as water.
