Lu Huan suddenly felt ecstatic, but he tried his best to suppress it, and promised: “When you come later–“
His eyes fell on the pear blossom seeds on the table, and an idea came to his mind. He said quickly: “When you come in the future, put a pear blossom petal in my palm, and when you leave, take the petal from my palm, okay?”
Outside the screen, Su Xi looked at the cub’s request. Although she wanted to admire his cleverness, wait, how come she and the cub suddenly developed a relationship where they had to greet each other when coming online? Wasn’t she playing a game?!
Su Xi looked a little disheveled, but she still tugged at the cub’s left hand, saying “OK.”
This is good. Next time, tell him when you go online or offline, so the kid won’t have to wait in vain.
After getting her agreement on these, Lu Huan’s expression became visibly brighter. He quickly asked many questions, including where Su Xi’s home was before she became a ghost. Su Xi had no way of answering and could only say it was far away. The cub also asked many other questions, and although Su Xi could not give any specific answers, she chatted with him in a casual manner.
The cub didn’t seem to mind how little information he got, but was trying hard to construct her voice, appearance and figure in his mind.
….
Before this, Lu Huan had never thought that he could get so much information. Now, although he couldn’t touch the other party, it was still much better than before when he could only communicate through one-way notes.
Lu Huan stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky. For the first time in his life, his eyes were as bright as stars. He felt like a person who had been extremely thirsty after a long journey and finally found a clear spring, and his soul was soothed.
However, Lu Huan suddenly thought of a question——
He hesitated and said, “When did you come today? I was sitting at the door in the evening… Did you see me too?”
The left hand was folded.
Lu Huan: “…………”
His blood immediately rushed to his head and his face turned red!
So, when he sat at the door in despair, thinking that the other party would never come again, he saw everything? And he just wrote a note, saying that he was not anxious these days and that he didn’t care, and he saw everything -?!
And, “Those wood carvings—”
Lu Huan didn’t say it, but he knew it by just thinking about it. He carved those little things every day and gave them to the other party but wrote on the note that he picked them up at random in the market. The other party must know all of this! The blush on Lu Huan’s face suddenly spread, and his neck was stained with red.
Su Xi, who was outside the screen, watching the cub droop his eyelashes helplessly, her heart beat rapidly, and seeing him look as if he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, she almost laughed to death.
You will have to pay for what you have done. It’s your fault for saying one thing and thinking another before!
Lu Huan thought about how his face was red at this moment, and that person could see it. He became even more anxious, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the side, rubbed his face fiercely, and said, “Turn your head away first.”
Su Xi laughed and hooked his finger to indicate that she had turned her head away, but the person outside the screen was still staring at the cub with a smile.
The little kid is so mischievous that he has no way to escape. He stands in the corner and tries hard to rub his face to calm himself down. He is so adorable!
….
After a long while, Lu Huan calmed down a little. He tried his best to forget what had just happened and stayed calm, pretending nothing had happened.
He turned around, walked to the table, picked up the pear tree seeds in the first box, and said, “Since you gave me these pear tree seeds, I will plant some here and on the farm. Will you go out and plant with me?”
There was some anticipation in his eyes. After all, he had never done anything with that person before.
Su Xi pulled the cub’s little left hand to show his agreement.
Lu Huan pushed the door open and waited for a moment, as if waiting for the ghosts and gods to come out with him, before he closed the wooden door.
He walked to the small piece of land that had been dug earlier where he was going to dig a fish pond when spring came. He picked up a shovel, squatted down, and began to bury the pear tree seeds there.
Su Xi just watched the little man planting trees there.
But now it was different from before. Although she had watched the cub doing things before, she couldn’t communicate with him because she was afraid that something would suddenly fly up and scare him.
But now – Su Xi also picked up the bucket in the corner, and the bucket flew up into the air, pouring some water into the place where the cub had planted. In this way, Su Xi’s sense of participation became stronger.
Lu Huan pursed his lips, his eyes sparkled, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but rise.
He always ate and slept alone, fetched water and chopped wood alone, and did everything alone. He never thought that one day there would be someone to accompany him.
Although this person was a ghost and could not be seen or touched, it was enough for him to know that he was there.
The trees were planted, and the only thing left was to cover them with soil. Suddenly, light snow began to fall from the sky.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, slowly turning into heavy snow.
Lu Huan explained to the person beside him: “This should be the last snow in Yan State. Unfortunately, it is snowing in the capital, but it is dry in the north.”
The snow was falling heavily, and he couldn’t help but look to his side. He stood up, ran back into the house and got out an oil-paper umbrella.
He opened the oil-paper umbrella, stood on the ground, and said to the wind beside him: “Come in and squat here.”
The heavy snow fell on the oil-paper umbrella and soon accumulated on the umbrella surface silently, like a thick layer of white moon frost.
Su Xi turned into the wind and crawled under the umbrella, pretending that she had gone in herself, but she felt a little strange – it had been snowing in the capital before, but she had never seen the cub holding an umbrella. This oil-paper umbrella was placed behind the wooden door, but she had never seen the cub use it.
Besides, she was a ghost, why would she hold an umbrella?
Su Xi wanted to laugh, but then the screen popped up the words of the cub. The cub squatted beside her, burying the soil while explaining: “Although you can’t tell me where you live, where you are from, your last name, and what you look like. But you have a pure nature. You must have had a happy and warm environment when you were alive, and you must have had a family that doted on you. If it was them, they would definitely not let you get sick from the snow.”
After a pause, he looked up at the umbrella beside him, as if looking at the girl under the umbrella, and said softly: “Now that you are here with me, let me do these things.”
“I don’t want to wrong you.”
Snow was falling heavily, and the boy looked calm, but his expression was unusually serious.
There was no moonlight, only the candlelight from under the eaves in the distance, dimly illuminating his face, and his snow-white face was covered with a layer of light.
“…” For some reason, Su Xi’s heart suddenly felt lightly bumped.
In the snow, the little boy squatted in the snow, with his umbrella beside him, not caring about himself. He was born in a difficult environment, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a difficult and harsh quagmire, but he said such words to her.
The author has something to say:
The cub: Nonsense! Frivolous! Superficial!
Su Xi: Then I won’t touch you anymore!
The cub: …No, that, actually…the smile gradually disappears.jpg
