"What about the rescue?" Yaksha had just gotten up, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't seem to be asleep yet, and when he saw me, he shook his head and continued to ask, "What about the other one?"

"I don't know. After saying that, Kuan'er had already urged me to hurry up and carry the vegetable basket to the vegetable market.

Kuan Er has decided not to hold a funeral, and can simply invite the regulars of the noodle restaurant to come for a light meal.

We are preparing the ingredients for a light meal and try to choose the best food.

We returned to the store with a full harvest and saw Yaksha sitting on the threshold.

"Do you have anything to do today?" he asked knowingly, but I ignored it and led Kuan'er into the kitchen.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Yaksha suddenly stood in the doorway, one palm on the dark wall, "Don't you want to know where Xie Bi'an has gone?"

"You know?"

"Looks like I'm looking for Snow Cloud, he didn't tell you last night?"

Xie Bi'an didn't say a word about this, I didn't react, I sat down reflexively and continued to choose vegetables.

"Who are the people you want to invite, I'll help you. 」

After a rare zeal, I called Kuan'er, and Yaksha pinched the list and went out.

The guests who came to the small shop burst into tears when they heard the news of the death of the proprietress in an instant, and even several men who seemed to be ruthless and cold were red-eyed.

Before leaving, each of them left behind a few coins. Kuan'er sat at a table in a daze, staring at the money on the table, and began to cry.

Before I could get closer, he turned his head to stare into my eyes and said, "Sister Zou Zhou, if you are not busy, can you continue to stay here?"

I nodded without hesitation.

If I leave a child with no relatives here, how can I rest assured?

Last night's snow has turned into a thick layer of ice today, and walking is like skating.

The ice in front of the store can't be swept away.

"Don't do it, anyway, you've run out of energy today, so you might as well rest for a while. Yaksha reprimanded me, took the broomstick, and threw it by the wall, "No help, you too, don't shovel. 」

We sat together and drank tea, and no one spoke.

If it weren't for the sound coming in from time to time outside the door, it would be as if we were in a closed and silent space, and we would be uncomfortable.

"Kuan'er, you're better than I thought. I smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Sister believes in you, you can do it well without our help. 」

Kuan'er's eyes lit up, she lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry that I misunderstood you when I said that about you before. I'm sorry. 」

"It's okay, Kuan'er. We all know why, you must live happily in the future, okay?"

Those eyes had answered my question.

Kuan'er said that there was a fireworks show tonight, and he wanted to take his mother to see it, and hoped that we would go together.

"Go ahead, you haven't relaxed in a long time, haven't you?" It was clearly a happy thing, and it suddenly made me feel a little sad when it came out of Yaksha's mouth.

"Now it seems that Bai will not be back for a while, let's go out and have a look. 」

A few people joined forces to persuade me, and then we closed the door and went to the happy square in the street to watch the fireworks.

I thought that it would be cold and dark, and there would not be many people who came to play, but it turned out to be crowded.

"Sister Zou Zhou, you must hold my hand. Kuan'er is indeed a very caring and good boy, he always looks at me, "Sister Zou Zhou, I'll take you to the front. 」

In this way, Kuan'er pulled me, I pulled Fan Wusu and Yasha, and squeezed from the crowd to the front of the high platform.

"Wow, there's too many people. Yaksha laughed with a bit of sarcasm.

I squeezed him away with my arm in disgust, and stood beside Kuan'er and hugged him, "It's just that there are more people to be fun, isn't it?"

"Uh-huh, Sister Zou Zhou, you're right. 」

"Sister Zou Zhou, look!"

Brilliant fireworks burst into the air

At that moment, it was as if all the water lilies in the pool bloomed together, and the rainbow hanging in the sky draped its colorful clothes over the water lilies.

"Ah---- so beautiful!" I wanted to shout like never before, and I couldn't help but shout as I looked at the fireworks in the sky.

"Ahh

"You two don't want to attract the attention of the crowd, okay?" Yaksha said with a roll of his eyes, turning his head sideways.

"I don't care who's watching, I just want to shout, because it's so beautiful. There's a little monster in my heart, and it's telling me all about it, and it's as presumptuous as it gets.

"Hey, don't pull me?" A hand pulled me off with a lot of force, and I was about to express my displeasure, when I looked back, it was Xie Bi'an and Xueyun.

"You're also coming to see the fireworks?" Xie Bi'an glanced at us with excitement and looked sideways at Xueyun, "It seems that we came just in time. 」

"yes, it's a good time, and it's a surprise to us. Yaksha put his hands behind his back, and the fireworks shone on his face, and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Hahahaha, yes, it's better to come by coincidence. My hand, which I had nowhere to put it, accidentally hit the Nakshatra, and I immediately looked at him.

"Kuan'er, Zou Zhou, let's go, there's an old man selling marshmallows on the other side. 」

Where is the Yaksha to discuss, it is clearly to force me and Kuan'er.

"Old man, give us three marshmallows and add some more sugar. Yaksha angrily took out the change from his pocket and put it on the old man's free hand.

Through the crowd, we can no longer see them, but we can vaguely hear someone calling us.

"Why are we here to eat marshmallows?" Kuan'er wondered.

I looked at Yaksha and wondered what he would say.

"If your heart is bitter, you should eat something sweet, don't you know?"

Sure enough, marshmallows aren't your average sweetness.

"Yaksha, it's so sweet, I'm going to trade it with you. With that, I snatched his marshmallow and took a bite to eat.

"......" was so sweet that I couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?" he laughed gloatingly.

Eat a few more bites, melt in your mouth, and slip into your heart, it doesn't seem so sweet, almost bitter.

Nakshatra sees that I don't speak, it's the kind of wordlessness that sees through me and doesn't expose me.

Maybe it's nice for the three of us to be together, I thought, just wandering around with the Yaksha.

It was said to be watching the fireworks, but in the end it turned into a food tour that ate all the stalls.

"Hiccup, hiccup. I touched my belly and laughed.

"You're still laughing? You two ate a month's salary from me, so let's do it. 」

I crossed my fingers and counted and ate and said, "No, what you eat yourself is also on our heads, and you are too bad. Besides, we ate so much for the sake of what you invited us. 」

"What do you mean, I also want to thank you two for your faces?"

"That's not true, okay, okay, Kuan'er's share will be on my head, and I will return it to you another day." I said it casually, and when Yaksha saw me, he looked at me with disdain, and he must have seen that I had broken the account.

The fireworks will end at half past ten, and by this time two-thirds of the people in the square have dispersed.

We leaned against the edge of the fence and looked up at the starry night sky.

"It's getting late, we should go back. I said, and then burped three times in a row.

Yaksha lowered his head and grabbed Kuan'er, "Well, he's been standing there since just now, you go and show your face, don't let people misunderstand that the relationship between the two of us is not pure. 」

I was about to roll my eyes, but Yaksha had already turned his back and left with Kuan'er.

The rest of me stood in place, watching Xie Bi'an walk towards me step by step.

"Why did you go with him just now?"

"I wanted to eat marshmallows, I said that before, didn't I?"

He grabbed my wrist, "Just for the marshmallows?"

"Well, what else do you think?" As soon as the voice fell, he let go of my hand and turned his head sideways, looking at the backs of Yaksha and Kuan'er, "I want you to say it yourself. 」

"There's not much to say, really. I put my hands in my pockets, gasped, and started walking in the same direction.

"Don't you think you two are getting too close?"

I turned around and wanted to punch him in the face, but I knew it was just a relief.

"Just as close as you and Snow Cloud, I guess. With that, I continued walking.

"Snow Cloud and I are just friends, and Daikoku and Yaksha both know each other. 」

I sneered, "yes, they all know, it's just me who doesn't know, and I didn't say anything, did I?"

"Don't talk like that, Zou Zhou. 」

"Well, I don't want to hear it, I don't need to. 」

"Zou Zhou!"

"Don't talk to me. 」

"Zou Zhou!"

As long as you can't hear or see, even if it's only temporary, you won't be sad.

I ran back to the store in one go, and Yaksha and Fan Wusu gave me a look of surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, and as I sat down, I took off my down jacket and felt like I was soaked in sweat.

Without waiting for them to speak, Xie Bi'an stood at the door and said coldly:

"We have to talk. 」

"Let's talk, I want to take a shower now. I got up and walked to the kitchen.

Xie Bi'an grabbed my hand and pulled it out of the store, "Zou Zhou, listen, I don't want to quarrel with you at all. 」

I pushed his hand away, "I'm tired right now and don't want to talk to you. 」

"What's wrong with you?"

"Not really. 」

"Nothing, why do you want to hide from me, why do you want to leave me?"

"Is being tired a cause?"

I turned my head away from him.

"Because of Xueyun's words, I can explain that she has always been in poor health, and in recent days, her old illness has relapsed and she has just recovered, so I will take her to see the fireworks. 」

I made a stop gesture to signal that there was no need for him to continue.

"I see. If nothing else, I want to sleep. 」

"Zou Zhou, don't be like this, okay?, if you're angry, get angry at me, don't be so lukewarm, do you know how sad I feel when I see it?" he almost yelled.

"Well, I'm sorry. I was really tired and didn't have the strength to speak. 」

"Zou ......"

"That's enough!" Yaksha suddenly appeared in view, "She already said she didn't want to talk to you, don't you understand? Don't be like a three-year-old child, it's very annoying!"

"Yaksha, it's a matter for the two of them. Fan Wushu said coldly.

"It was, not now. 」
