This is a Christmas Eve where some cry and others laugh.
The shop is filled with laughter like bells.
Watching Yuchuan Meisha hand Sen Tian Makoto a hot red wine, Xia Yu suddenly remembered something, got up to the door, but the car waiting nearby had left only a faint shadow.
Under the street lamp, an exquisitely wrapped bag catches the eye, Xia Yu opens the bag and takes out a note with scribbled handwriting, obviously left in a hurry:
Merry Christmas!
The exclamation point even pierced through the paper, its sharpness fierce.
Yet, Xia Yu burst out laughing.
In formal Japanese, there are no question marks or exclamation points, the punctuation marks are the same as in Chinese, comma and period. Influenced by Chinese, Neon increasingly uses question marks and exclamation points in informal written occasions.
Isn't that the case now, Alice expressing her anger and helplessness with an exclamation point?
To this, Xia Yu could only shrug.
