On the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, snow fell in the sky again.

After a few days of silence, there was finally some movement outside the door. I don't know if I feel that Ritsuko can hear the sound outside the house, or if I feel that there will be telepathy between the two inside and outside the house, and this time the knock on the door has not sounded for a long time.

"Young Master Wen? How do you stand in the doorway? Ritsuko sighed softly and pushed the door open.

The person in front of her was facing away from her, and the crown of white jade hair had been piled with a thin layer of snow, and he should have been standing outside the house for a while.

The two have not seen each other since that day.

But Ritsuko still often went to the edge of the high wall, through the wooden fence, and watched him quietly in the courtyard and read attentively, without being noticed by him.

Since Wen Jinnian moved to the snow town, Xueling has also become a little more lively. Ritsuko could hear the small sounds of movement coming from the house next door, and the sneezing that often came from the night cooling.

"Ah, Ritsuko-girl, what a coincidence, are you going out?" Wen Jinnian, who turned around when he heard the voice, was still wearing the same green clothes, but he was so cold that he crossed his hands into his sleeves. That look, for some reason, reminded Ritsuko of the little eunuch he saw in a small picture book when he was young, holding a dust. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, quickly erasing this strange thought from her mind.

"I didn't plan to go out today, but I vaguely heard something outside the house, and I thought if someone was coming, so I thought about coming out to have a look, but I didn't expect to see you."

"So that's the case, I'm still thinking about whether to knock on the door, but I didn't expect you to open the door first."

"Is there something you're coming to me for?"

"That ......" Wen Jinnian lowered his head a little embarrassedly, his eyes kept running around, "That's it...... You didn't say you wanted to read the following article before, so ...... today. I just happened to dig it out and brought it to you by the way. ”

He slowly pulled out a piece of paper that had been folded several times from his tightly closed sleeves, and handed it to Ritsuko's hand, "This was written a long time ago, it may be a little naïve, and please don't laugh at Ritsuko." ”

The handwriting on the paper is thin, but the pen is strong and powerful, and lust flows.

The ink looks like she has just finished her career, and Ritsuko thinks about the article she had written about the night before.

[When you meet your beloved, you will never forget it. 】

Ritsuko looked at the sentence written at the end of the article for a long time, and an inexplicable feeling came to her heart, an indescribable taste.

What Wen Gongzi said...... Is it me?

She raised her eyes to look at Wen Jinnian, and he turned sideways a little embarrassedly, only letting his eyes fall on the peach blossom tree with only bare branches, and pretending to be light-hearted.

Through the paper in his hand, he seemed to see him still holding a pen on the edge of the desk.

"Wen Gongzi's article can be described as a perfect sitting."

"Miss Ritsuko, don't be comforted."

How can it be a word of comfort? Wen Gongzi, you write really well, every word is beautiful, this is no worse than those who have become champions, I like it very much. ”

"Really?" Wen Jinnian turned around with surprise and happened to meet Ritsuko's smiling eyes.

The smile flowed through his heart like a gentle spring, beating on his heart drop by drop.

Wen Jinnian blushed a little.

For the first time, someone smiled and said to him that he liked his article.

"Ritsuko! Did you open the door? It's getting cold in the house! ”

"I'm sorry, mother! I'll close the door right away. Ritsuko put on her shoes and walked out of the house, just as she was about to close the door.

She happened to see Mrs. Nangong walking out of the back room and walking towards her, "Outside the house, is there a guest here?" ”

"Well, it's Gongzi Wen here."

"Why don't you invite someone to sit in the house, it's still snowing outside, how cold is it?"

"Mr. Wen, he ......"

"Mrs. Nangong!" Wen Jinnian hurriedly snatched the paper in Ritsuko's hand, folded it, hid it behind her, and snatched the words she hadn't finished speaking, and said to Mrs. Nangong with a smile, "I want to ask if there is a fire fold, there is some yin tide at home, and I can't make a fire, it's really a little cold." ”

"Fire folds? Naturally, there is. ”

"Mother, I'll go get it." Ritsuko tugged at the corner of Mrs. Nangong's clothes, passed by her, and walked into the house.

And how could Mrs. Nangong not understand what Ritsuko was thinking?

She smiled and said to Wen Jinnian, who was standing outside the house and was cold, "Young Master Wen, it's better to stay and eat together, you see it's almost the New Year, it's strange to live alone, and the three of them are always a little more lively." ”

"Don't bother, I used to live alone, and I've long been used to it."

"Then it's different now, you know Ritsuko, and you have also made a home in the Snow Ridge, and on this huge Snow Ridge, only we can take care of each other. Besides, you're the first friend Ritsuko has ever made, so why bother? Ritsuko would be very happy if she knew. ”

"Friend...... Wen Jinnian lowered his head, struggled, or chose to compromise, "Then ...... It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

Ritsuko squatted in front of a small cabinet in the dining hall, holding the fire fold in her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly, but her face couldn't hide a smile that she couldn't hide.

My mother is really the person who knows me in the world.
