"I've been waiting for a long time, please take the milk tea you ordered."

"Thank you."

Holding two cups of hot milk tea, Luo Tianshu walked under the snow that stayed outside the crowd.

Maybe it's because both of them are wearing school uniforms, and there seem to be people around who have recognized them, after all, as long as they are students of the general martial arts high school, there are few who don't know them.

Sure enough, should I change my clothes and go out again today?

Ignoring those vague glances for the time being, Luo Tianshu handed the milk tea in his hand to Xuexia:

"Well, I ordered a hot one, and it will be warmer when I drink it."

"Thank you."

Xue Xia, who took the milk tea, thanked him, and the two continued to walk forward.

Night has already fallen, there are many couples coming and going on the streets, and the decorations of the roadside shops are full of festive flavors, and the lively atmosphere has warmed this cold winter night to some extent.

"I can already see the moon."

"Huh?"

didn't understand the meaning of the snow for a while, Luo Tianshu turned his head sideways, and the other party explained again.

"Probably won't snow tonight."

Listening, Luo Tianshu raised his head and looked at the sky, the night sky was exceptionally clear, and it looked like it was a white Christmas.

There was no disappointment or joy on his face under the snow, as if he was just stating a fact.

After a few more glances at the bright moon, Luo Tianshu asked:

"Under the snow, don't you like snow?"

"Because if it's snowing, it's going to be a nuisance, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, Xue Xia smiled and said Luo Tianshu's exclusive lines.

"Hehe, it's a lot of trouble."

Spreading his hands, Luo Tianshu echoed, but, after laughing, he added:

"But, it's also pretty, isn't it?"

“...... Is it? ”

Glancing at Luo Tianshu with a little surprise, he was silent under the snow for a while, and then asked:

"By the way, Luo, where are you going tonight?"

Listening to the words under the snow, Luo Tianshu glanced at the maid café on the side of the road that shone with colorful lights, and he didn't know why, but now it was suddenly a little difficult to speak.

I carefully recalled the things in my head, the maid café, the video game hall, the comic shop, oh yes, and the gacha machine......

Very good, decided!

In an instant, Luo Tianshu made a decision, and he decided to ask Xue Xia first:

"Is there anything you'd like to go under the snow?"

A hint of speechlessness flashed in his eyes, and he calmly asked under the snow:

"You're the one who invited me, right?"

"Uh, just kidding."

Laughing twice, Luo Tianshu temporarily eliminated those unreliable thoughts in his mind.

In short, it shouldn't be okay to take snow to those places with house attributes, but although he has lived in Chiba for nearly half a year, there are very few places he has been to, and most of them are related to houses.

Is dating such a hassle?

Luo Tianshu, who had arranged his first date, encountered great obstacles, and while thinking about it, the decorations on the surrounding shops gave him inspiration.

With apprehension, Luo Tianshu asked:

"It is said that there is a big Christmas tree in the central square, do you want to see it?"

"Hmm."

breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Xue Xia agreed, otherwise Luo Tianshu really didn't know how to continue.

Continuing to walk with the flow of people, it seems that there are still a lot of people who go to see the Christmas tree, and speaking of this news is still what he heard Kaoru say a few days ago, it is said that the Christmas tree prepared this year is much bigger than before.

The closer they got to the square, the more passers-by became, and when they reached the outer edge of the square, it was almost crowded with people, but this did not prevent them from viewing the Christmas tree, because it seemed to be really big.

"Hey, just kidding, that's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"

Looking up at the tree in front of him, Luo Tianshu subconsciously spoke.

In front of them was a ten-story tall Christmas tree, the lowest branch length covering almost half of the square, and the circle of decorative lights on the tree, it was almost like a floating UFO.

Compared to him, there was not much shock under the snow, and it was clear that as a local, she seemed to know the inside story better.

Taking in Luo Tianshu's surprised expression, he explained lightly under the snow:

"In terms of size, this level is normal, after all, this is not an ordinary Christmas tree, and the leaves on the outside are just decorations."

"Decoration?"

Saying this under the snow, Luo Tianshu took a closer look at the inside of the tree, and found that the leaves on the periphery were all decorative, just like the lights.

Glancing up at the huge Christmas tree, he continued under the snow:

"It was originally a tree, but it was planted in the center of the square and it happened to lose its leaves, so I decided to decorate it as a Christmas tree."

"I see."

Luo Tianshu nodded clearly, the size of this tree is quite terrifying, and it is decorated on the side of the trunk to make a Christmas tree, which is many times larger than an ordinary Christmas tree, which can be described as extremely spectacular.

Although this is not an authentic Christmas tree, due to the size of this monster, it is more ornamental than a regular Christmas tree.

Hey, there's really nothing wrong with coming here.

Looking up and glancing again, Luo Tianshu suddenly asked curiously:

"By the way, what kind of tree is this? Cherry blossoms? ”

"Nope."

Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Luo Tianshu, and said softly under the snow:

"It's crape myrtle."

"Huh? Lagerstroemia? ”

His eyes widened in surprise, Luo Tianshu never expected it to be this, in other words, how could such a big crape myrtle tree grow in the center of the city?

After taking a few steps closer, I observed the intricate veins of branches inside the tree, like spider webs, hovering in the sky, silently announcing the time of its existence.

Now Luo Tianshu is convinced, this is definitely not right, it can't be something that can grow in this kind of place.

"Under the snow, this tree doesn't exist here, does it? Judging by the environment here, it shouldn't grow that tall. ”

"That's right, this was transplanted a few years ago."

Nodding, the answer under the snow proved Luo Tianshu's guess.

"Sure enough, who is it to move such a big tree."

“......”

After the words of exclamation came out, Luo Tianshu found that he didn't speak anymore under the snow, just looked at himself so quietly that he looked a little hairy.

There was no special emotion in the eyes under the snow, but it was because of this that Luo Tianshu felt uncomfortable.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask:

"Well, what's wrong?"

Ignoring Luo Tianshu, he raised his head and looked at the towering tree under the snow, and was silent for a while, before slowly turning his head to look at Luo Tianshu, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't you ask who moved this tree?"

"Uh, yes."

"That's you."

“...... Huh? ”
