Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

The woman froze for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and revealed a sly smile.

Snape had a bad feeling.He wanted to turn his gaze away, but he seemed reluctant to just turn his face away, so he twisted his facial features, and fixed there with an indescribable expression on his face.

Sure enough, the next second he heard her narrow voice.

"Then...is it called 'Honey', or 'Baby', or 'Sweetheart'~ It's too difficult to choose~ Let me think about it—"

Snape felt his face go numb.With great difficulty, he resisted the urge to cast a petrification spell on her, and gritted his teeth to warn her: "...Don't make such harmful jokes! I mean names!!"

The woman glanced at him with a smile, as if turning a blind eye to his anger, and even turned around with the dishes and walked to the sink to start washing.The water from the faucet was rushing out and beating against the wall of the pool. It was like a loud noise, which disturbed him.

Snape began to think carefully about how he had come to this point.

Obviously, it is possible to spend a very quiet, peaceful, and undisturbed Christmas Eve, but now in his house that has not been popular for a long time and is too quiet, there is the sound of rushing water and the sound of beeping. The sound of vegetables, the sound of the frying pan being heated up on the stove, the rattling sound of shopping bags being turned over, and the laughter from another person——

Let this dark, quiet, gloomy, and old house glow with some kind of smoke and fire that belongs to the world, like a noisy and lively vitality, shaking this house from the inside to the outside, and the people living in this house The person—that is, him.

This house has been dark for a long time, and together with him who lives in the house, everything is black and white.It was dead silent and lifeless.But now all this has changed. The fireplace in the house is burning with a warm yellow fire; The so-called "resistance wire", the water vapor in the kettle that is about to boil is against the lid, making a rattling sound; green vegetables, light yellow potatoes, and red meat steaks are placed on the countertop...

The house is now in color.Lively and colorful.This feeling is very strange, as if that layer of color is slowly spreading up, spreading to every corner of the whole house, covering the dead black and white, and then dyeing him with the color of the world—and all of this, She brought them all.

He was a little unaccustomed to everything that was going on here.He was not used to the changes in his heart.It's like a traveler who has been trekking in the desert in the dark night for too long but can't see the end or the edge, and finally sees the first ray of dawn in the sky; The morning glow, dyed his vision red, painted his world with colorful colors——

And that's the difference she brings.Let his life, like a pool of stagnant water, start to flow again.

He was still standing in the dark corner of the wall, watching her with a smile on her lips, swiftly cutting the washed vegetables and preparing the two beef short ribs that looked good; Perhaps it was time to change the light bulb, the light emitted was a bit dim, but it just showed a kind of dim yellow, which was reflected on her face, outlining her profile with warm lines.

Then she started frying the beef short ribs. The oil sizzled in the hot pan, and a faint smell of meat wafted out, filling the entire kitchen.

And she was humming, her hair was pulled up casually, covered with a small square scarf she got from nowhere, and tied in a beautiful knot at the back of her neck; Gua’s popular way of adorning her hair this year, he just felt that just looking at her busy back just like that, inexplicably felt very good-looking and reassuring, as if all her movements had a beautiful rhythm, as stretched and charming as dancing ——

This wonderful feeling lasted until the two of them sat at the dining table, cutting the well-fried beef short ribs on the plate, and it still didn't recede.

They are like the most ordinary family members, chatting while eating.The atmosphere is very peaceful and natural.

Snape ate a piece of steak and found that her cooking was unexpectedly good, so he couldn't help but glanced up at her.

As if sensing the meaning behind his glance, she asked with a smile, "How is it? Did you do well?"

More than just "not bad," Snape thought - though of course he couldn't just say it so bluntly, lest she get complacent and self-inflated again.

So he took a sip from the water glass next to him as if to cover up, and replied: "...you can still eat it."

She burst out laughing, as if she had seen through his misguided disguise.

He felt a little annoyed, but even though his EQ was negative, he knew he couldn't bring the atmosphere down by arguing with her at a time like this; so he coughed and changed the subject abruptly, intending to distract her attention.

"...Have you practiced many times before? This is obviously not a level that can be achieved by cooking once or twice—"

He originally thought it was just a simple question, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and finally she was a little lost in thought; she paused for several seconds before answering:

"I, I used to be able to compete with others in cooking—"

Snape was taken aback.

He subconsciously thought about when she had a culinary competition with someone in the past; then he suddenly realized that what she was referring to was not "here" or "Hogwarts", but yes--

"In your hometown?" he blurted out.

Her long eyelashes trembled twice, and she raised her eyes.There is a candlestick at the corner of the dining table, and three candles on the candlestick are shining brightly.At this moment, when she raised her eyes, the candle seemed to fall into the pupils of her eyes, flickering; Snape suddenly felt a little strange...uneasy.

But she didn't embarrass him, but smiled faintly, and replied: "...Yes. It happened at that time."

Snape suddenly had complicated emotions about the so-called "hometown" in her mouth - he didn't know how to get along with others, but his ability to understand other people's emotions was not bad, otherwise he would not have been able to survive for so many years. During his undercover career, no flaws were revealed at all; he was sensitively aware that there should be a big difference between that place and his own, so although he didn't show it on the surface, he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, and his heart was suspended. When he got up, he hung in the void and couldn't get up or down, and he didn't feel safe.

He wanted to say, "Tell me how it's there?", but he was afraid that his question would lift the lid of a Pandora's box, and her memories of her hometown would become more and more revealed and deepened with the narrative, eventually prompting her to change her mind, Go back there again.So he became hesitant, hesitant, his lips trembled, but in the end he just asked: "... At that time, what was your name?"

She seemed a little surprised, she didn't know if it was because of the jumpiness of the topic, or because when he mentioned "hometown", he actually refrained from asking about his hometown, but was still entangled in the question of "name".

She finally forced a smile and replied, "In my hometown?... Actually it's called 'Esther', but the spelling is different...not Aster, but the most common Esther."

Snape: "Oh..."

As if he heard this name for the first time—in fact, the name Esther is quite common in Europe and the United States, anyway, it is impossible to hear it for the first time—with his low, magnetic and beautiful voice slowly Slowly repeat the name.

"...Esther."

Liu Quan felt a little embarrassed - this was the first time she had told anyone in the mission world her English name in the real world - and Snape read her real name in a meaningful tone. The process of coming out exacerbated her sense of embarrassment; it was as if her most real person had been exposed in front of him and there was nothing to hide.She lowered her gaze, feeling a little hot on her face for some reason.

"Esther." He said the name again, cautiously.

Liu Quan: "..."

She almost thought it was turning into a public execution, when Snape suddenly said, "...that's a good name."

Liu Quan: "Yes, is it...?"

Embarrassed, she put a small piece of steak into her mouth with a fork and chewed slowly, as if she could temporarily occupy her mouth without speaking.

For some reason, at this moment she suddenly remembered the scene where Snape said "Lily".

When he used the name "Lily" to refer to his real childhood friend, the real Bai Yueguang, his voice was also low and intoxicating, and the ending was a little bit longer. The two syllables express the various emotions and meanings behind it——

But it wasn't until today that she realized that the English name she randomly chose when she was in class in the real world can also produce equally beautiful, intoxicating, and heart-pounding effects.

He uttered the name syllable by syllable, as if carefully savoring the meaning behind the name between each syllable; and as if he was trying to get familiar with the name, because after repeating the name, he drooped After thinking about it for a while, she actually raised her eyes again and looked at her across a table. Although she lowered her head and pretended to enjoy her dinner, she could feel the burning sensation of his gaze on the top of her head.

He finally asked, "Is this how you spend Christmas back home in your hometown?"

Liu Quan was a little surprised, and raised his head subconsciously, but his gaze happened to meet his bottomless eyes.

For some reason, her heart suddenly beat very loudly.

But this topic is a relatively safe topic. She thought about it, nodded, and replied with a smile: "Yes.... What do you think?"

Snape paused, and finally resumed eating normally.He casually sliced ​​through the short steak on his plate and said, "I think everything is fine, except for the mistletoe wreath."

Liu Quan burst out laughing, simply put down the knife and fork, rested his head on his right hand, looked at him with a smile, and replied, "...But I think that's the best part of the custom of celebrating Christmas?"

Snape:! !
