In the evening, it snowed lightly.

This year's snow seems to be particularly heavy and particularly dense.

There were few pedestrians on the road after the snow, and there were no one else except for a few pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.

Ji Ran held an umbrella and walked along the street with Xiao Qi, both of them looked ahead, and no one spoke.

The umbrella leaned slightly to Xiao Qi's side, the girl raised her head and looked, and the afterglow quietly turned to Ji Ran again.

The last time I walked the same road with him was in the summer.

She couldn't remember what she talked to Ji Ran that night, but in Xiao Qi's impression, the two of them talked all the way that day, and they barely stopped.

…… It's not as quiet as it is now.

Compared with the embarrassment and nervousness of being alone in the Jade Candle Tower in the afternoon, when she walked beside Ji Ran at this time, she felt a little more relaxed - this may be because Ji Ran has been doing business all afternoon, and she has not been in a hurry because she is beside her.

This calm and calm attitude was transmitted from Ji Ran to Xiao Qi's body, and when she was a little unsure of how to face this person, it provided her with a ready-made object to imitate.

She was beating a drum in her heart, but her face was frank and open, for fear that she would behave unnaturally somewhere and make the other party think too much.

It's just that at this moment, all the things to be done on business have ended, and Ji Ran has nothing to do with her anymore, losing this excuse, Xiao Qi feels like a toddler in Handan, and has completely forgotten what a "frank" person should look like in this situation.

Both of them were silent, but Xiao Qi clearly felt that there was something in their silence.

The more you don't open your mouth, the bigger it becomes, the harder it is to turn a blind eye.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi lowered her head and looked away, this silence was very harsh and woke up the two doubts in her heart - is there a possibility that she was thinking too much?

Maybe everything that has happened so far is a completely different interpretation from Ji Ran's perspective?

This is certainly possible, after all, one of the three major illusions in life is "someone has a crush on me......

However, this is not the thing that makes her most confused at the moment-

If you have a crush on someone, you will inevitably experience the pain of being hung in mid-air, and the slightest wind and grass will make people feel frightened...... Well, it's a very understandable thing, because there is pain that love cannot bring.

But why, when one realizes that there may be another person who is liking him, is it just as confusing?

It's obviously a joy to be liked, but where does this feeling of panic and wanting to avoid come from?

Xiao Qi suddenly felt that she was stuck in some kind of quagmire that she had never touched before, and this unjustified torment made her doubt herself for the first time.

Is there something wrong with my view of love......

Ji Ran on the other side was unaware of all this, he pinched the handle of the umbrella, and his heart was pounding.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care what thoughts slipped through his mind here and later, he just felt that the wind seemed exceptionally fresh tonight, and the dim road in front of him showed an unusual loveliness.

He felt that it was indeed a little strange that the two of them had not spoken all the time, but it was nothing - Miss Seven had spoken for so long in Dali Temple in the afternoon, and her throat was probably sore at this time.

It's good for two people to move forward slowly like they are now.

Yes, even if he doesn't do anything, he likes to spend time with Xiao Qi.

If he had told him that he would be repeatedly rescued by a girl in the future, he would have thought it was a humiliation, but now he only thinks that it is his luck.

Especially today.

Even though half a day had passed, Ji Ran still felt as if he was dreaming as long as he remembered the scene where he raised his head at noon and saw Xiao Qi sitting there.

It's all incredible.

After the last time they parted at the Ping Demon Bureau, he often thought of her, remembering when they first met.

He didn't know that when he was outside the Tianji Palace, Xiao Qi saw him in the crowd, and thought that the first time he met Feng Wan was when Du Weifeng gave her a divination.

So he felt that in the several coincidences with Feng Wan, it seemed that there were several credits of Du Tianshi.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, his affection for Xiao Qi has indeed taken root in his heart - what is going on?

I do not know.

But it doesn't matter, once he discovers this, Ji Ran understands everything that happened in the past.

This feeling is like a person who has been tormented by illness all the time, but never knows what is wrong, and finally hears a doctor say to him, "You are indeed sick".

He no longer had to struggle with his own imaginary thoughts, he didn't have to be confused by his bizarre reactions and thoughts—even if all the problems were still there, there was an explanation for all of this.

He wasted too much time trying to clarify this idea.

It's a pity that his experience in this area is a bit barren, and of all the ways to show love, the only thing he can allow himself to imagine is to come to the door to propose.

Because all the other ways, including those in the love stories that have been sung to this day, have some deviant frivolity...... So much so that once he substituted himself into it, a lot of guilt that seemed to have failed his sweetheart first floated in his heart.

Several times, Ji Ran thought about it, and ran solemnly to the yard with his clothes draped in and paced back and forth.

He compared the difference between himself and Yin Shiyun, which certainly made him feel a little frustrated, but soon Ji Ran turned this into the one thing he was best at - dismantling a task that seemed complicated and difficult to handle into small pieces one by one, and then thinking of solutions.

Although every step was grinding, the good thing was that he could finally get out of the ignorant and chaotic state at the beginning.

In a place that everyone didn't know, Ji Ran alone had such a changing mind, and because it was so important, he would never open his mouth to anyone - including Miss Seven herself.

In the snow, Xiao Qi's pace suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped.

Ji Ran also stopped immediately, he turned his head and saw Xiao Qi looking at the distant sky, his expression was a little sluggish.

"What's wrong with Miss Seven?"

Xiao Qi's gaze turned around and fell on Ji Ran.

Ji Ran was slightly stunned - there was more confusion and doubt in the eyes of the people in front of him looking at him, which had never been seen before.
