Thank you to "Robot Dance" for your tip!
-----
Two days before Christmas.
Amsterdam was already filled with a Christmas atmosphere.
The streets and alleys were filled with busy shoppers. Christmas trees were placed in front of shops everywhere. There were also large-scale activities going on. A disguised "Santa Claus" was chased by children. The streets were decorated with lanterns and decorations.
After Qin Xiong sent Georgia to the bus, he walked back to Wardelstrasse.
Luttmansen and the other old men had not been seen recently. It was said that they had gone to a gathering with a group of old friends.
This made Wardelstrasse a little deserted.
Qin Xiong also had a lot of activities.
Today, Zeller and Deheus were organizing a party and invited Qin Xiong to attend.
Qin Xiong called Sylvia.
He did not expect Sylvia to agree so readily.
The gathering place was in a very ordinary pub. There was also a Christmas-themed event there.
Qin Xiong and his friends gathered in the pub and wished each other a merry Christmas in advance. Then, they chatted and drank. Qin Xiong still did not touch a drop of alcohol.
Sylvia wore a very ordinary coat and sat beside Qin Xiong. When the music started later, Qin Xiong took the initiative to invite Sylvia to dance.
It had taken him a lot of determination and courage to send out the invitation.
Sylvia smiled and shook her head. "I don't know how to dance."
Qin Xiong also smiled. "I don't know how to dance either! But you don't need to learn how to dance here. "
Seeing Qin Xiong get up and wave at her with a smile, Sylvia could not resist his invitation. She got up and went to the small dance floor with Qin Xiong.
She stood stiffly in front of Qin Xiong. With the explosive music, Qin Xiong braced himself and blushed. He swayed his body to the rhythm like he did in the nightclub.
As soon as he moved, Sylvia immediately covered her mouth and snickered.
Qin Xiong's face was red, but he did not stop. He waved for Sylvia to join him!
This kind of place was a place to relax or vent the stress of life and work.
If you're just sitting there, why bother coming?
Sylvia rolled her eyes mischievously with a bashful look on her face. Then, she began to slowly sway her body. The two of them stared at each other. Qin Xiong must have a smile in his eyes. He never thought that the hardworking and hardworking Sylvia would have such a 'clumsy' side. But in his eyes, she was still moving.
After getting used to the atmosphere and environment, Sylvia gradually entered a good mood and no longer cared about the opinions of others. In fact, no one would criticize the customers who were swaying instinctively.
He and Qin Xiong stared at each other. They relaxed, laughed, and forgot all their troubles.
As midnight approached, the party ended.
Sylvia and Qin Xiong were sweating profusely in the middle of winter.
After putting on their coats and walking out of the pub, the two of them couldn't help but shiver as the cold wind blew. Then, they looked at each other and smiled silently.
Deheus and Zeller left with their friends. Qin Xiong and Sylvia walked aimlessly along the road. They had a tacit understanding to call a taxi when they separated.
Sylvia walked cheerfully with her hands behind her back as if she was still in the rhythm of the pub.
Suddenly, she turned around and faced Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong, who had his hands in his pockets, saw that Sylvia wanted to say something but stopped. He did not rush her and patiently waited for her to say something.
"Are you still alone at Christmas?"
Qin Xiong shook his head and smiled, "I have Kyle to accompany me."
"Oh? You don't know? "
"Know what?"
"Mr. Freddy and Ms. Jessica are dating."
"Who is that?"
"The female owner of a video store on the street next to Wardell Street."
Qin Xiong scratched his head and felt a little defeated.
Freddy knew him well, but he rarely took the initiative to know about Freddy's life.
Yes, he went to training every day and had a regular life.
What would Freddy do?
He couldn't stay single forever. Just like Freddy confessed in the red-light district, he needed some passion in his life from time to time.
It seemed that Freddy would spend Christmas with that lady.
Qin Xiong smiled as he thought about it.
He was happy for Freddy.
Sylvia took a deep breath as if she had made a great decision.
Her eyes were a little nervous as she softly said to Qin Xiong, "Come to my house for dinner the day after tomorrow. It's Christmas Eve. You must be lonely in your apartment. There are only three people in my house for the holiday. You can make the holiday more lively if you come."
Qin Xiong stood rooted to the ground.
He didn't expect Sylvia to take the initiative to invite him to her house for Christmas.
If he hadn't promised Georgia before, he would have agreed.
But now, he hesitated.
He frowned slightly. Although he hadn't spent much time with Georgia, deep down, he liked the persistent and hardworking little boy. He didn't want to let him down.
He wasn't someone who would break a promise easily, especially to an innocent child. How could he break a promise?
He shook his head and said bitterly, "Sorry, I have a date that day."
Sylvia's expression stiffened as if she had been struck by lightning. She forced a smile and said in a slightly abnormal tone, "No, it's okay. I wish you a merry Christmas. I had a great time today. Goodbye. "
Sylvia lowered her head and turned to leave. She quickly took out her phone to call a taxi.
Qin Xiong looked at her back and didn't even say goodbye before she turned around.
It was obvious that she was disappointed. Qin Xiong didn't know what it meant, but he also felt that it was a pity.
However, he didn't regret it.
He turned around silently and took out his phone to call a taxi.
Sylvia was extremely disappointed. She sat in the taxi and leaned her head against the window. Her face was gloomy.
He had a date for Christmas …
Who could it be?
It couldn't be a man. Who would find a man to spend Christmas with?
It should be a beauty?
A model? A hostess? A celebrity?
.....
The next day, Qin Xiong went to the club again.
He found the administrative staff and wanted a set of authentic Ajax jerseys.
Although the staff who stayed at the club to work overtime said that they weren't responsible for this part of the work, they still took Qin Xiong to the club's souvenir shop. Only there were authentic jerseys.
And coincidentally, there was a smaller jersey that Qin Xiong needed. He planned to buy it for Georgia.
Then he went to the downtown sports store and bought a pair of authentic sneakers, leggings, cricket socks and other equipment.
He took everything to the gift shop to wrap it up. He wrote a message on the gift card and returned to Wardell Street with a beautiful bag.
That night, Freddy finally introduced the woman he had been dating recently, Jessica, to Qin Xiong.
They had dinner together in a restaurant.
Jessica was a very attractive mature woman. She took good care of herself and was very witty.
"Kyle told me about your love life. In fact, it's not a big deal for a man to go to a red-light district. You don't have to worry about it. The mentality of most girls in Europe is that as long as you don't get married, everyone is free. And even if you want to get married, if you don't tell me what happened before, I won't ask. Even if you take the initiative to tell me, I won't keep it in mind. Because life is about looking forward."
Qin Xiong nodded as if he had learned something.
Westerners and Easterners had different ideas. They were more open and free, while Easterners were more traditional and conservative. A person's past was like a burden or shackle, affecting the present and the future.
But at this time, Qin Xiong took a look at Freddy, who was talking to Jessica.
If I told Ms. Jessica that I had seen Freddy watching a strip show at the Moulin Rouge the other day, would she be able to do what she had just said?
She didn't mind? She really didn't mind?
Anyway, they weren't married, there was no contract binding and loyalty to speak of. Moreover, Freddy didn't do anything substantial.
This thought flashed through his mind.
Qin Xiong immediately dispelled this idea.
That would be too hateful.
The dinner ended in pleasant chatter and laughter.
Before Jessica left, she also invited Qin Xiong to her house for Christmas. Anyway, she was single. She and Freddy were a couple, so she didn't mind adding Qin Xiong.
But Qin Xiong already had an appointment, so he politely declined.
On the day of Christmas Eve, the scene on the street changed again.
The pedestrians were in a hurry. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to go home and reunite with their families for the holiday.
When night fell, Qin Xiong took the gift bag and told the taxi driver George's home address. Then he took a taxi to his house.
