Xu Jingxi had not returned to Chicago for Christmas, as the holiday was celebrated with excessive grandeur in America.
A random encounter with snowflakes and reindeer.
Watching the Christmas lighting countdown at Millennium Park, only she and Schreyer seemed out of place amid the bustling crowd on the street.
Soon, midnight arrived.
Fireworks and Christmas tree fires illuminated Millennium Park and the meteor fireworks from the Chicago side at the same time.
Standing behind her, Schreyer suddenly asked, "Do you want to make a wish?"
The young girl, not in a hurry, gently focused her eyes on the meteor fireworks above, "There's no need for that, I can just wish towards Mr. Xu, and he will make it come true."
Schreyer: "..."
She suddenly said, "The year before last during this time, I argued with him and he locked me in the villa."
