Approaching the Earth Chapter 71 Let's Go Skiing Together
After changing into warm clothes, everyone came to the outside of the hotel, where it was snowing lightly, and snowflakes were falling from the sky, like playful elves.
Ye Yu stretched out her hand and caught a piece, wanting to observe it carefully, but before she could see the appearance of the snowflake, her palm melted.
In the open space outside the house, there are several snowmen, their faces slightly crooked, but they can still make out their smiling expressions.
After seeing these snowmen, Ye Yu was full of interest and eager to try, and began to roll snowballs on the snow to make the body of the snowman.
Vivien soon joined the snowman making as well, finding a few branches and stones nearby to decorate with them.
Yuzu Ta didn't seem to be too interested in this, and after a few glances, he returned to the inn.
Ye Yu's snowball rolled bigger and bigger, and soon exceeded half a waist height, and gradually couldn't push it.
Fortunately, Mirmis was also by his side, helping Ye Yu push the snowball to the designated position.
Then it's time to assemble, and after Mirmis helps put the head on, Vivien prepares to equip the snowman with "hands" and "eyes".
At this moment, the voice of Yutata came from behind the three of them.
"Hey, did you forget something?"
Mirmis was the first to turn around, and then saw Yuta carrying an iron bucket with a red strip of cloth hanging from the edge of the bucket.
Yuzu Ta jumped down the wooden staircase, walked to the snowman with an iron bucket, and then took out half a carrot from the bucket and stuck it in the middle of the snowman's head like a pointed nose.
"How can it breathe without a nose?" Yuzu Ta joked.
After seeing this scene, Ye Yu was a little surprised and said, "I thought you weren't interested in building a snowman."
"It's all here, so let's have some fun." As she spoke, Yuzu Ta wrapped a dirty strip of red cloth around the snowman's neck, and then put the bucket upside down on the snowman's head.
Vivien asked curiously, "Yuta, how did you find these?"
Yuta clapped her hands as if her work was over, and replied casually, "The buckets, rags, and leftover carrots were all borrowed from the hotel kitchen."
Yuzu tapped Vivien on the shoulder and said as if she were handing over work, "Alright, put your eyes and hands on."
Vivien's movements weren't very neat, perhaps because it was too cold, but she managed to get all the parts in place.
Looking at this white and chubby little guy, Ye Yu held his face in both hands, and said with bright eyes, "Wow, it's so cute."
Vivien smiled a little proudly and said, "This is the snowman we all made together."
Yuzu Ta touched his chin and pondered, "Why don't you give it a name?"
Mirmis pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Snowball?"
Ye Yu scratched his head, although the name is very concise and easy to remember, it doesn't seem to be suitable for a snowman name.
With such a question, Ye Yu asked, "Why did you come up with this name?"
Without much hesitation, Mirmis replied bluntly, "Because its body and head are balls made of snow."
Although what Mirmis said was reasonable, the others present did not seem to be able to accept the name, and the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden.
Vivien pondered for a moment, and suddenly she had an idea, she carefully raised her right hand and said, "That, how about being called Murmo?"
Yuzu Ta then asked, "Murmo? How did you come up with it?"
Vivien was a little nervous by the sudden question, and she rubbed her fingers back and forth in her arms, and then whispered, "Because it's quiet and doesn't like to talk much."
Hearing this name, Ye Yu clapped happily and said, "This feels good."
Not only does it reflect the natural characteristics of the snowman, but it also introduces its personality by the way.
Ye Yu patted the snowman's "shoulder", and then announced, "Then from today onwards, your name will be Momo."
The snowman didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and seemed satisfied
。
At this time, a family of three in ski suits walked behind Ye Yu.
The little girl took her parents by the hand, looked up and asked, "Daddy, how should I ski skiing?" Am I going to fall?"
The middle-aged man touched the little girl's head kindly, and then said gently, "Don't be afraid, Dad will hold you."
The middle-aged woman also smiled and said, "Yes, Dad is very powerful, nothing can be difficult for him."
The voices of the three people gradually faded away, but Ye Yu's eyes couldn't be taken away, she looked at the backs of the three people in a daze, with a complicated expression.
A few stones on the snowman's face slipped a little, and the corners of his mouth that were originally slightly raised were slightly downward, looking a bit like a crying face.
——————
The little girl with a leaf on her head tugged at the corner of a man's clothes who was watching TV, and said excitedly, "Dad, I want to go to the snowy mountains to play."
The man with the leaves on his head touched the little girl's head and said in a slightly tired voice, "Okay, but I'll have to wait for Daddy's holiday next weekend."
——————
The girl, who had grown up, was full of anger and asked questioningly, "Why can't you go, didn't you promise to go?"
Tiredness crawled all over the man's face, looking very haggard, and he scratched his head helplessly and said, "I'm going to work overtime temporarily, sorry."
The woman touched the girl's head and said comfortingly, "Ye Yu, be considerate of Dad, he is very busy with work."
The girl silently lowered her head: "......"
——————
"Ye Yu, the matter of Snow Mountain ......" The man stood at the door of the room, his expression very guilty.
"It's okay, you're busy, I know." The girl lay on the bed and waved her hand, not as if she didn't care very much.
She turned her back to the door, and tears crept down.
——————
Ye Yu didn't say anything, she just looked at the little girl quietly, looking at her smile full of happiness.
And the three people on the side also felt the subtle changes in the atmosphere to a greater or lesser extent.
Because of her mind-reading ability, Yuta basically learned about Ye Yu's situation on the day she first met Ye Yu, and also told Vivian about these things.
Vivian wanted to comfort Ye Yu, but she couldn't empathize, and she couldn't think of how to organize the wording to appease Ye Yu.
Yuzu Ta didn't seem to be touched much, but stared at the couple's back with a cold gaze.
Suddenly, Mirmis poked Ye Yu, who was stunned, and then pointed to the rental shop next to him and said, "If you want to ski, you can rent equipment."
Ye Yu looked at Mirmis, with only a blank look in his eyes.
"Didn't you say you wanted to ski together?"
Ye Yu's eyes were in a trance, she couldn't remember when she said this.
But Mirmis's tone was firm, which shook Ye Yu's doubts, and Ye Yu could only whisper shyly, "But I don't know how to ski."
"I'm there for you, I'll teach you."
"Thank you."
Ye Yu took Mirmis's hand and held it tightly.
But Ye Yu noticed the existence of Yuta and Vivian on the side, and immediately changed his words: "But I want to try it myself first, maybe I'm very talented in skiing?"
Ye Yu was playing haha while trying to save his face.
Yuzu Ta joined the conversation with the mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, and said, "Oh, you think you can do it again?"
The semi-provocative attitude further raised Ye Yu's heart to prove herself, and she said with a resolute look in her eyes, "How do you know if you don't give it a try?"
Everyone walked to the rental shop together, and Ye Yu was not willing to let go of his clenched hand until he entered the door.
After renting ski equipment, the four entered the ski slopes.
Mirmis skated smoothly, as if he was a professional, and Yuzu Ta was okay, at least at the level of ordinary people. But as expected, Ye Yu couldn't do it at all and kept falling.
Vivian didn't participate in skiing, she just watched from the sidelines, but watching Ye Yu come into close contact with the earth over and over again, her brows couldn't help but furrow, worried about her.
But every time Vivian tried to help Ye Yu up, she politely refused.
After Ye Yu fell a few times, he finally decided to ask for help from the sidelines.
Mirmis helped Ye Yu and guided her skiing, and with the help of Mirmis, Ye Yu finally stood on the snow steadily.
"Just go slowly." Mirmis carefully held Ye Yu, but at the same time did not exert too much force on her.
"Hmm."
Ye Yu slowly paddled the ice rod, and her body moved forward a little.
"Now step up a little bit."
"Okay." Ye Yu added some strength slightly, and the distance he advanced was farther than the last time, and at the same time, the board left obvious marks on the snow.
"yes, I'll slip." Ye Yu happily raised his hands high.
"Then practice slowly and don't skate too fast." Milmis asked.
Ye Yu waved his hand, signaling Mirmis not to worry.
"I know."
As soon as the words fell, Ye Yu felt that the snow under his feet was falling off a little, "Huh?" Without waiting for Ye Yu to react, the board began to slide quickly in the next second.
"Ye Yu!" Mirmis stretched out his hand, but he still didn't have time to stop Ye Yu's wild run.
"Ahhh
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mirmis immediately shouted, "Vivien, throw me the skating poles!"
A panicked Vivien hurriedly threw her skating pole to Mirmis, who immediately chased after her.
Mirmis tried to catch up as fast as she could, but couldn't catch up, so she changed her strategy and shouted, "Slow down! Slow down with your poles!"
Ye Yu did so when she heard it, but she couldn't insert her skating pole into the ground, she just paddled through the snow shallowly.
"Ahhhh
Ye Yu's skating pole fell off her hand as if it had been smeared with oil, and then scattered to the ground.
Without the restraint of skating poles, the skis flew more vigorously and rushed straight to the foot of the mountain, and what was waiting for Ye Yu in front of him was a huge and bottomless piercing ice lake.
