Chapter 101: Silla and Thunder (Ecstasy)
Chapter 101: Silla and Thunder (Ecstasy)
About half an hour later, the six adults and two children arrived in the city of Philadelphia in Jack's private car.
Jacques's private car is a second-generation Ford Explorer, a 1995 model.
Fortunately, this car is an SUV with three rows of seats. If it were any other car, it would have to bear weight that it shouldn't bear at this age.
Kevin and Rita also followed along. On Christmas Eve, it was nice to go out shopping with their two bosses.
After finding a parking space and parking the car, everyone came to a pedestrian street in the city.
The sky was filled with snowflakes as white as feathers, falling down in large numbers like countless butterflies dancing.
The earth seemed to be covered with a thick white velvet blanket, wrapped in silver and beautiful beyond words.
Under the reflection of the warm yellow street lights, the whole world seems both desolate and warm.
Shirley and Manuela had rushed to the front of the team, grabbed handfuls of snow on the ground and threw them at each other.
A thrilling and unique first-ever world snowball fight has begun!
Claire put her hands behind her back, like a shy little girl, and followed Yang Ren closely.
Today she was wearing a black cashmere coat with a gray and white plaid scarf.
It is not only fashionable, but also exudes a charming atmosphere unique to the autumn and winter seasons.
The lower body is still tight jeans, matched with a pair of black flat mid-calf boots.
While perfectly outlining the leg lines, it also shows a very outstanding temperament.
The parts that should be exposed are not exposed at all, and the parts that should not be exposed are also covered tightly.
Add to that the wavy brown amber high ponytail and the two strands of hair that fall naturally on both sides of the cheeks.
A furry little white mouse named Jerry was lazily lying on his head.
The whole Claire looks playful and cute, full of fashion and temperament, and even has a fairy-tale beauty.
Yang Ren simply couldn't take his eyes off it.
(Friendly reminder: The author has little knowledge of dressing, so don’t try!)
Further behind were Ake and Aisha, Kevin and Rita, who were hugging each other with their arms, looking equally affectionate.
It was already late at night, but the pedestrian street was still crowded with people.
Many shops have green Christmas trees in front of them, hung with all kinds of colorful lights and decorations.
The strong festive atmosphere in the air makes people feel the joy and peace.
Claire stretched out her hands to catch a few snowflakes, holding them carefully in her palms, feeling the cool feeling.
Under the warmth of the palm, the snowflakes quickly melted into crystal clear water droplets.
Jerry on the head also stood up, grabbed a snowflake in the air with his pink little hand, and waved it as if to show off.
"It's so beautiful..."
Looking at this dreamy beauty, Claire couldn't help but sigh.
"It is indeed beautiful, but you are more beautiful than the snow."
Yang Ren raised his hand and gently brushed off the snowflakes on Claire's hair, revealing eight big white teeth.
This cheesy love talk that gave people goosebumps only made Claire's face blush slightly.
"Poor mouth~"
While they were playing around quietly, Claire gently took Yang Ren's arm and continued to walk forward.
Soon, Shirley and Manuela, who were fighting fiercely in front, stopped.
The two little ones simultaneously put their faces against the glass of a pet shop, looking at the various pets inside.
On Christmas Eve, most small shops or family-run stores close early to give employees time to spend the holiday with their families.
This pet shop is still in business, and its spirit of persistence is truly admirable.
"Let's go in and take a look~?"
Looking at the two little ones' eager faces, Claire gently waved Yang Ren's arm and asked.
"elbow!"
Yang Ren readily agreed.
When you walk into the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the rows of neatly arranged pet cages.
Each cage has been carefully decorated and is filled with various cute little animals.
There is a light animal scent in the air, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"Welcome! Merry Christmas Eve!"
Noticing a guest coming, the boss, who was relaxing on a recliner at the front desk, welcomed the guest and also extended his blessing.
He was holding a book in his hand, and seemed to be enjoying a moment of peace.
"I've always wanted a pet, but my mom said they were too dirty..."
Looking at Jerry coiled on Claire's head, little Shirley said embarrassedly.
Yang Ren raised his eyebrows and patted his chest:
"Then just say I bought it for you."
Are you kidding? I bought this pet for little Shirley. Does Annie dare to say "no"?
Although I don't have such a big frame.
After walking around the store for a while, Shirley and Manuela finally stopped in front of some cages of parrots.
"I want this one~!"
Shirley excitedly pointed her finger at a distinctive...little blue bird in one of the cages?
The head and chest are covered with snow-white feathers, and the light blue wings are as gorgeous as sapphires. It looks well-behaved and elegant.
This is a lovebird.
Yang Ren immediately summoned the boss:
"Boss! We want this lovebird!"
"okay!"
Hearing the sound, the boss stood up happily and prepared to get the birdcage.
"Um...I want one too..."
Manuela suddenly spoke up.
Yang Ren looked at her in surprise, but soon smiled.
"walk slowly!"
Not long after, Manuela also carefully selected a...little yellow chicken?
There is a circle of pink blush on each side of her cheeks, and a tuft of cockatoo-like crest feathers stands upright on the top of her head.
The whole body is light yellow, and the wings are white, which looks quite gorgeous.
This is a cockatiel.
After paying the bill, the two little ones each carried a birdcage and left the pet shop contentedly.
"Have you thought of names for them?"
Looking at the two little ones' happy faces, Yang Ren asked with a smile.
"Hmm... I want to call it 'Thunder'!"
After thinking for a moment, Shirley looked at the little blue bird in her hand...the lovebird and said.
Thunder…?
Thunder... Thunder?!
"Mine will be called 'Shiela'!"
Manuela also said with a smile to the little yellow chicken in her hand...the cockatiel.
Shiela…Shiela?
What a familiar name, I seem to have heard it in a special effects drama in my previous life...?
The names the two little ones gave to the parrots are quite unique... ?
After walking along the pedestrian street for a distance, everyone arrived at a square.
In the center of the square was a huge Christmas tree, and a bustling crowd formed a circle around the Christmas tree.
Instead of participating in such a lively event, Yang Ren and Claire sat down on a bench nearby and watched the lively scene quietly.
Soon, a little girl trotted up to the two of them holding a large bouquet of flowers.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. This flower is for you!"
The little girl said this with a smile and handed Claire a red rose.
"Wow! Thank you!"
After expressing her gratitude, the little girl also gave a rose to Rita and Aisha who were not far away.
"Make a wish?"
Yang Ren's voice rang in his ears, and at the same time he reached out and put his arm around Claire's shoulder, his movements gentle and natural.
Hearing this, Claire nodded slightly, then closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and began to make a wish.
The warm yellow street lights shone on her cheeks, and from time to time one or two snowflakes floated onto her scarf.
Looking at such a dreamy scene, Yang Ren felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Slowly lean down and put your hand close to the other person's cheek.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they could even feel the warm breath exhaled by each other.
It seemed that he sensed a slight movement beside him.
Just before their lips were about to touch, Claire's body suddenly leaned forward slightly.
The distance between the two of them returned to zero at this moment.
Snowflakes fluttered down, surrounding them like a dreamlike scene.
Yang Ren opened his eyes slightly in a daze, but he could only see Claire's beautiful eyes slightly closed and her eyelashes trembling.
There were no passionate hugs or kisses, only gentle touches and a tacit understanding between each other.
"Wow~"
There seemed to be a slight exclamation from little Shirley beside me.
After a moment, their lips separated and they opened their eyes, looking at each other tenderly.
"So, what wish did Sister Claire make?"
Shirley's childish voice came from beside the two of them.
Turning around, I saw Shirley and Manuela lying on the bench together, looking at the two of them with curiosity and satisfaction.
Hearing this, Claire smiled slightly:
"My wish is..."
"When all biological terror disappears, we can all be together in peace forever."
call out--
Boom——!
With large and gorgeous fireworks exploding in the sky over the city, it officially marked the passing of 12:24 on December 24th.
People in the square were laughing and chatting, wishing each other well.
Claire held flowers in her hands and sat side by side with Yang Ren, admiring the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"Merry Christmas!"
