Chapter 121: The Last Carnival (Part II)
By the time the five of them hiked through the snow-covered cedar forests of the Alps, it was already evening, and the surrounding light gradually dissolved into white mist, slowly dissipating into the forest as the night darkened.
Casting a series of light and heavy footprints on the snow, I deeply realized that we were not actually here to enjoy the moonlight after the first snow, but to hike over the snowy mountains in the hope of torturing ourselves physically. I frowned and glanced at the two men in front of me, who were breathing smoothly and breathing, as if walking in the woods, and felt more and more heavy in my legs.
"Rou Ori, let me ask you a question...... Sara quietly leaned over, panting slightly and lowering her voice: "You say, if there is an avalanche suddenly now, I, Si Tianzhe, and Ian?" Three of Stuart are in distress at the same time, and you can only save one, who will you save first? ”
Rao is her voice is very low, at this moment, thousands of mountains and birds are flying away, and thousands of paths and people are disappearing in the silent wilderness, and they can't escape the ears of everyone present.
I gave her a blank look, unwilling to bother with her boring question, "Are you sure you won't pull me by during the avalanche?" ”
"Oh, I'm serious." She said angrily, "Hurry up, who will you save first?" ”
"You." I calmly looked straight ahead and spit out.
"Huh? Why? "I didn't seem to expect me to answer so crisply, and she was caught off guard.
The two men who walked in front of them were stunned when they heard the sound, but their steps were as steady as usual.
Taking a deep breath to calm the disorder, the air was thin and cool with a sweet freshness, and I said as a matter of course, "If I don't save you...... Will you let me go when you get out of danger? ”
"I'm glad you have this kind of awareness...... Sara's gritted teeth were accompanied by obvious unwillingness, "Then if it's only Si Tianzhe and Ian?" Stewart is in distress, who will you save first? ”
I was embarrassed, but naturally understood her intentions, and whispered, "Are you finished?" ”
She winked at me. actually learned the tone of Shang Xunyi, grabbed my arm, and looked so ambiguous. "Dear little Ruori, don't run away, answer me quickly." ”
For a while, no one broke the siege, but Ivy smiled silently. The two men who walked in front of me had obviously made up their minds not to speak, ignore or even react, and looking at the two cold backs in the night, I had a gloomy premonition that the two of them probably did not want to know the answer to the question, so I simply stood by and watched, happy to see it.
I raised an eyebrow, not to argue with Sara, and instead said, "Let's put it another way, if we suddenly have an avalanche and I have a chance to push a person into a snowdrift that has fallen all over the ground without being held legally responsible, who would I choose?" ”
"I guess. Ruori will not hesitate to choose you. Ivy smiled and looked at Sara playfully.
"Xiao Ruori won't be so ruthless." I was also amazed by Sara's ability to speak out, "Hurry up and say it, if you don't say it, it means that you have a weak heart-"
"Here we are." During the stalemate, Shang Xun suddenly spoke, finally distracting Sara's attention.
When I looked up, I was faced with a slope more than ten meters long, with sparse cedars and snow. Before he could react, a hand had already passed over.
In the shadows. The owner of the slender fingers has light brown eyes, and the ear drill under the left ear shines like a lonely star in the dark night.
I hesitated for a moment, then passed my hand over.

The snowy night sky is a delicate deep blue, and there is no moon at night, but there is incomparably clear and bright starlight.
We stood on a high vantage point with an unusually wide view, looking out over the lush cedar forests. On the top are the cold stars washed by ice and snow, all like diamonds, scorching light.
In vain this half-day trek, this is indeed an excellent view of the Alps.
The five of them simply sat down on the snow, and Sara drew stick figures on the ground. Shang Xunyu happily held a handful of ice and snow in front of him, and piled it up high.
The atmosphere was quiet and empty, but it was so intense and full that it almost overflowed.
I gazed at the starry sky that seemed to be within reach, and my heart was suddenly touched, and my voice spread out into a gloomy silence, "When I was a child, someone told me that you can build snow into the shape of what you want, and then hold it in your hand and wait for it to melt completely, then, before the first snow of next year, you will definitely be able to get it." ”
"So, what about after that?" Si Tianzhe was beside me, and asked softly with a smile.
"And then," I smiled, "my hands froze. ”
There were a few chuckles from beside me, and Sara turned to me and asked, "Ruori, I'm really curious, what was the thing you wanted most when you were a kid?" Even now, I don't know what it looks like when you really crave something. ”
Before he could answer, Shang Xun on the side grabbed Bai and said: "The arrogant little princess, what I longed for the most when I was a child was probably the queen's crown." ”
I smiled to myself, and without arguing, I picked up a cloud of ice and snow and piled it up.
He was right, the little princess who was arrogant at that time longed for the glory of the world to be in her hands, but the only thing she couldn't get was a kind of gaze.
A gaze from a young man as pure and noble as ice and snow, his eyes were as clear as stars, but they were also deeply distant and lonely, I don't know where his eyes were, nor who was fortunate enough to be on his way, but I only knew that if my figure could be carved into such eyes for even a moment, it would be happy.
The movements of the hands were skillful and smooth, and after a while, a palm-sized ice and snow star appeared impressively, looking as if it were at that time.
"Ruori, I can't see that your skills are so good." Sara couldn't help but admire.
I smiled slightly, but my hands were resolutely loosened, and the heavy snow stars fell to the ground, immediately smashing marks on the flat and endless snow layer. But for some reason, Si Tianzhe beside him stared at the stars trapped in the snow, and his eyes were as if he was thoughtful, and he became complicated for a moment.
"There were a lot of large and small piles back then, and when you count it, it's enough to hang a Christmas tree." I snorted my hands that were a little frozen, and my tone was brisk and not like a genius.
"What you wanted most when you were a kid was stars?" Sara looked at me suspiciously, and even the gaze cast by her was thoughtful.
"yes." I still smiled lightly, and seemed to mean something, "Unfortunately, I never picked it up." ”
The one that fell to the ground, thrown away, was thrown away, and I no longer gave it an inch of gaze, even if it was the same as the one that melted in the palm of my hand, it was a symbol of the man's bright eyes. It's just that now, perhaps a long time ago, I don't want that star-gazing gaze anymore.
The cold at the fingertips has not disappeared, and the night sky, which is as clean as water, seems to be frozen, freezing the stars one by one in it, making it even more crystalline.
Sara, who was sitting at the end of a row, played together, and whispered something in the ear of Ivy, who was attached to her, and Ivy smiled slightly, turned her head and whispered to Si Tianzhe on the other side.
Sound games?
I felt that the words Sara conveyed must be eccentric, and the smile that suddenly raised at the corner of Si Tianzhe's lips confirmed my suspicion.
Si Tianzhe slowly approached, and at the same time reached out to cover my scarf-wrapped neck, and with a slight pull, I was able to lean closer to him a little tighter.
The crisp breath immediately enveloped him, and he lowered his head, his body gradually became stained with the smell of snowy night, and his very light voice trembled down, and the words were like snow pouring down:
"I love you." (To be continued......)
