Yinglong spent a long autumn in emptiness and loneliness.

And this year's winter came very early, only in late December, although it was in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was already cold and windy, and the winter was bitter.

In the early winter, the sky was covered with lead-gray clouds, and the cold wind blew the fallen leaves of the plane trees by the roadside so that the dead branches covered with gray bark shivered in the cold wind.

The frequent sudden rain brings with it the damp smell of the harsh winter in the south. In such weather, people's clothes are often half wet and half dry, and they have an unpleasant smell on their bodies, which is particularly unpleasant.

In this bleak weather, Yinglong often misses the unique dryness and comfort of autumn. He doesn't like the winters here, rarely setting foot outdoors in the winter, and usually spends a cold day at home except for work and parties.

There was no air conditioning in the house, so Yinglong bought an electric grill, which gave him something to warm during the cold season, so that the air in the room would not be so cold.

Sometimes, Yinglong would also come back from buying something delicious and hide in the house alone to taste it slowly, helping him get through the boring time outside of eight hours.

On weekends, British Dragon is closed as usual.

He got up very late in the morning, because the weather was cold, and he didn't want to get up early in the morning to eat breakfast, but huddled up in the quilt alone to enjoy the warm breath, so that the cold air could be isolated from the quilt.

In winter, what could be more comfortable than hiding under the covers and sleeping in the morning and evening without thinking about the time?

He slept until his stomach rumbled, and then he realized that he had to get up, otherwise his blood sugar would be too low if he fell asleep, and he would not feel dizzy or bloated at that time.

After all, "people are iron, rice is steel", and when it is time to eat, you have to get up and eat something.

Yinglong stretched out his head full of messy hair from the bed, yawned, opened his hazy eyes, and looked out the window, at this time the sky was already bright.

Yinglong looked at his watch, it turned out that it was already close to noon, no wonder his stomach was so hungry, and if he was a little later, he avoided a lunch.

The eyes are sticky, the mouth is full of bitterness, it is strange and uncomfortable, and the breath that comes out is particularly unpleasant.

He crawled out of the bed, shivered and got dressed, ran to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth. After combing his messy hair and shaving his stubble, Yinglong decided to head out for a simple and affordable lunch.

It was already bright outside the window, and when he went out, Yinglong wrapped a gray scarf around his neck, circled around it, and tied a knot at the end, and put it on his chest, so that the cold wind would not get into the padded jacket along the collar.

Yinglong found a small hot pot restaurant, ordered a small hot pot, ordered a few fresh vegetables and beef balls, and an octopus, and sat alone in the corner and quietly tasted the steaming deliciousness.

Fresh lettuce and chrysanthemum are thrown into the soup pot, and they quickly become hot, and the tender green chrysanthemum with a fresh fragrance is very chewy in the mouth, crisp and fragrant, attracting a burst of appetite.

The octopus tumbled up and down in the soup, and soon the flesh became firm. He used chopsticks to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth for a big munch, which was good, very tasty, tender and palatable, with the unique fragrance of octopus, and he feasted on it.

In fact, when eating hot pot, Yinglong's favorite ones are octopus and chrysanthemum, followed by beef balls. After the beef balls are cooked, they are round and not easy to hold with chopsticks. Yinglong inserted the meatballs into the tip of the chopsticks and dipped some sauce in his mouth. As a result, when I bit hard, the soup inside burst out, leaving a trace of soup on the table.

Delicious meatballs are his go-to dish every time, although in his opinion, he must be careful when eating beef meatballs, otherwise it will not be very elegant. But every time he picks a portion to satisfy his appetite.

In the past, Yinglong and Yuxin would come here to eat small hot pot, which was the days before they broke up. Yinglong felt that Yu Xin was very personable when eating beef balls.

Because he found that Yu Xin was always careful to let Yinglong handle these round meatballs when she ate them

The meatballs are taken into her bowl and cooled, then the meatballs are pressed with two chopsticks, and then the chopsticks are slowly inserted into the meatballs.

That way, you won't get juice spilled.

Yinglong thought it was very interesting to see her eating meatballs, but he ate it with a big bite and seemed to have no scruples.

Sometimes they simply eat the balls in half, like Yu Xin's delicate way of eating, only girls will do that.

In this way, they appear elegant and personable, and they naturally look better when eating.

Yinglong was slowly enjoying the delicious food at the hot pot restaurant, when snowflakes fell from the sky outside the door.

This year's winter snow came very early, perhaps due to the short duration of the summer heat. Winter snow falls with the cold wind. Slowly, the wind calmed down, and large snowflakes flew all over the sky.

He stared blankly at the snowflakes outside the window, and soon a thick layer of snow had piled up on the ground, which seemed to be covered with a large patch of goose feathers.

At this time, he was almost finished, so he checked out and left the hot pot restaurant.

Yinglong bought an umbrella at a nearby store and opened it to go home, because the weather seemed to be still sunny when he went out, and he didn't expect it to snow, so he didn't bring an umbrella.

Yinglong walked slowly along the sidewalk, flying snowflakes falling on the umbrella, some of which blew onto his cheeks and scarf with the cold wind.

He reached out and patted his scarf, shaking off some crystal snowflakes, which fell on his hair like small white flowers.

Yinglong walked on the side of the street, holding up his umbrella and looking out into the street ahead. Not far ahead, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

It was a young girl, with long chestnut hair and a white velvet hat with a round fur ball on the tip of the hat that hung playfully from the velvet hat, and the pompom swayed rhythmically with her steps, like a flowing edelweiss.

I saw that she was wearing a red down jacket, the fiery red color was particularly eye-catching in the middle of the crowd, and she was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a pair of boots on the outside.

The cold wind blew her cheeks red, and she wore a peony-patterned scarf around her neck, which looked so eye-catching and gave Yinglong a familiar feeling.

Isn't this the silk scarf that Yinglong gave to Yu Xin? Yinglong carefully looked at the side of the girl, and the eyebrows and eyes were like Yu Xin, could it really be her?

Yinglong hesitated, whether he should call her, pull Yuxin to talk, and learn about her current situation.

He found that although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Yu Xin was still so beautiful, and she was still so delicate between her eyebrows and eyes.

Why is she walking alone on this street now, and in such weather, doesn't she hate the cold winter?

Yinglong didn't immediately catch up, but just watched from a distance as she walked one foot deep and one foot shallow. Although the girl walked in front with an umbrella, the small umbrella seemed to be unable to stop the sudden goose feather snow.

The snowflakes fell on the surface of the umbrella, and the cold wind blew, and a stream of snowflakes hit her face from under the umbrella.

Some white snowflakes fell between Yu Xin's long hair, as if crystal clear hexagonal petals dotted between the chestnut hair.

These snowflakes stuck between the long hairs, like frost flowers, crystal clear, shining like rhinestones.

The girl lowered her eyes and looked at the road, walking cautiously, for fear that she would slip if she was not careful. Her cheeks were red from the cold, and a hot breath came out of the silk scarf covering her mouth and nose, this scarf was not thick, but it could help her block the cold wind that was blowing in front of her, Yinglong was a little skeptical.

The red peony and dark green flowers and leaves on the scarf set off Yuxin's flushed face, and snowflakes flew between the eyebrows and long hair. It's a pity that she walks alone, holding a brown handbag on her arm and struggling to hold an umbrella.

Yinglong looked at it from a distance, he judged that it must be Yuxin, but he didn't understand why she was still walking around the street at this time, in such a cold weather.

He thought that at this time, Yuxin should sit at the dinner table and enjoy a delicious lunch with her family, or someone should be by her side to shelter her from the wind and rain.

He knew that Yuxin was a girl who was afraid of the cold, and she didn't like winter as much as he did. The two of them once jokingly discussed that if they had money, they would move to a city further south to settle down.

Because there is no winter there, only warm and pleasant sunshine.

However, how could she walk alone on the street in such a snowy winter. There was no one around to accompany her, even to help her hold an umbrella.

A cold wind blew, and the tassels on the scarf were blown up by the wind, and the ends were raised high, sweeping on Yu Xin's face, blindfolding.

She lifted her arm and grabbed the corner of the scarf with her fingers and pressed it against her chest.

Yuxin wore a pair of velvet gloves, and the two gloves were connected by a long velvet rope and tied around the ends around her neck.

It looks like this is the same as a velvet hat, because the color and texture are very consistent. They also look very suitable for Yuxin, revealing a bit of playful taste, which is just right

Her age.

Yinglong followed behind like this, a distance away from Yu Xin. He watched Yu Xin walking hard in front, and wondered if he would go up and stop her to say hello, but he hesitated a little, and finally decided not to chase it.

After all, it was in such weather, and he hadn't forgotten the previous things, although it had been a long time, he was still a little concerned, and he didn't know if Yuxin still remembered those unpleasant experiences.

Yinglong followed silently for a while, but Yuxin didn't know it.

He was observing Yu Xin not far behind him, and she was just walking alone in front of her.

Arriving at an intersection, Yuxin took advantage of the change of lights to grab a few steps, and followed the pedestrians crossing the street to the opposite side of the road.

Yinglong didn't have time to follow, so she had to stand on the side of the road and watch her walk to the opposite street, and Yuxin quickly disappeared into the distance with the crowd. The pompom on the hat swayed over her head, moving farther and farther away.

Yinglong stood at the intersection and did not follow the crossing, he stared ahead for a moment, then turned and walked home.

Yinglong still doesn't know how Yuxin is doing after the breakup.

Ever since the argument, they have been angry and haven't called a few more times.

There was a time when Yinglong didn't want to know about Yu Xin, as if Yu Xin had nothing to do with him at all, and even he wanted to forget Yu Xin and completely disappear from his memory.

But he still saw Yu Xin on the road, and she was still as beautiful as he remembered, which made him

Somewhat surprised.

It turned out that Yinglong hadn't completely forgotten her, just watching her back and side from a distance

Recognized her the same.

Yu Xin's appearance is still so pretty and moving, beautiful and cute. Even in the midst of this snowstorm, it is still moving.

But why is she still wearing the scarf that Yinglong once gave her?

Yinglong was a little puzzled, according to his speculation, Yu Xin should have thrown away the scarf a long time ago, or put it in a corner and let it fall into dust.

But Yinglong recognized this scarf from a distance, it was a birthday gift he had given to Yu Xin. It still wraps around her neck to help protect her from the winter cold.

Yinglong walked slowly with questions, he really didn't understand Yu Xin, how is Yu Xin doing now?

He kept speculating whether Yu Xin was happy now, and maybe she might be single. Because Yinglong didn't see someone by Yu Xin's side just now, a young man who sheltered her from the wind and rain.

Yinglong was a little puzzled, he kept thinking about the streets covered with ice and snow, guessing everything Yuxin was doing now.

Snowflakes fluttered and fell on the tip of his brow, like congealed frost flowers. Yinglong reached out to wipe away the cold snowflakes and lowered the edge of the umbrella to keep out the wind and snow.

In the winter snow, the street scene becomes blurry, and the road is full of white patches. Except for the sound of heavy snow falling, the surroundings become very quiet, which is a rare sight in normal times.

Yinglong's mood became a little touched as the snow fell, and he quickened his pace and walked home, eager to return to the warm house as soon as possible to escape the sudden cold.

Some of the falling snowflakes were gradually melted by his body temperature, but he really hoped that the ice and snow condensed in his heart could melt as soon as spring came.
