Chapter 25 Snow (Part 2) (First Update Seeking Recommendations)

  Deliberately portrayed Xia Yu'er, hoping to write about a simple and cheerful her.

  ===========

  The snow had begun to fall at some unknown time, and when the faint light of dawn gradually spread across the sky, it had already accumulated a thin layer in this part of the world. More snowflakes fell from the clouds, fluttering and swirling, without stopping for a moment. They weighed down the branches, covered the houses and ground, and if they drifted into small rivers or ponds, they melted with a slight ripple, but in the next second, even more would fall, gradually forming ice chips on the water's surface, finally providing a place to rely on. The snow slowly invaded the water's surface, piling up in the water, and the entire world seemed to have turned white.

  Opening the balcony door in the morning, snowflakes are everywhere, and the silver-clad world is laid out before my eyes.

  A cold wind blew directly in her face, carrying small snowflakes that stung slightly as they hit her skin. A few cool drops seeped into her heart, and the girl shrank her shoulders, curling her hands together to warm them by her mouth. White steam rose up, changing shape in mid-air before being blown away by the wind.

  "It's so cold..."

  She shivered a bit, thinking that on such a day, it would be happy to stay in the warm quilt. But this thought soon dissipated in the girl's heart, and she went out into the wind, did some warm-up exercises, and then returned home, put on thick down jacket, wore fluffy earflap hat, dressed neatly, and went to the living room, where her mother and sister who got up early were preparing breakfast.

  "Uh... Yun'er, so early?" Her sister, who was wearing an apron and holding a plate of fried eggs from the kitchen, looked at her with some confusion.

  Yun'er walked straight to the entrance, sat down to change her shoes, and let out a yawn. She nodded: "Yes! I'm going to practice at the company." After finishing speaking, she had already changed into her shoes and opened the door.

  "Sister hastily called out: 'Eat dinner before leaving!'"

  "Let's eat out for a bit."

  The door creaked shut, and from outside came the faint sound of a girl's response. Her sister was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and returned to the kitchen. In the kitchen, her mother was still frying eggs, the pan sizzling and crackling away. Seeing her come in, her mother asked, "Just now it sounded like you were talking to someone?"

  "It's Yun Er."

  "Isn't this girl supposed to love sleeping in? Why is she getting up so early today?"

  Said to go to the company for practice.

  "Whoa!" Mom stopped stirring the scrambled eggs, turned her head to glance out the window at the swirling snow, and then looked back with a puzzled expression: "Is she that diligent?"

  ……

  "Ah... I owe you!"

  As soon as she walked out of the building, the girl found herself in a vast snowy world outside. She let out a loud sneeze and rubbed her small nose which had already started to turn red. She hopped along in the snow, left the residential area, stood under the bus stop sign for a while, then got on the bus heading to Jiangnan District.

  Of course, the bus wouldn't stop near the company, and her destination wasn't the company either. Jokingly, in this kind of weather, only a pervert would think about going to practice. Yoon-ah thought she was not perverted at all, although sometimes she loved touching other girls' butts, but that was all because Soo-young had taught her. From the bottom of her heart, she believed she was still as pure and lovely as a little white flower, lively and kind.

  It's a cold day like this, she gave up her warm bed and was preparing to go to Junhe's house to accompany Zhixiu.

  "In the future, I'll have to rely on him for a few more years of meals and make up for this sacrifice." The girl used such an unambitious idea as her farewell declaration to the lazy awareness that was drifting away from her.

  From An Jun-he asking for their help and getting to know Ji-soo, several months have passed until the day of the snowfall. Although compared to normal girls, Ahn Ji-soo has various problems - being introverted, stubborn, autistic, and having a wary attitude towards everything outside, it's even said that she once drove away her nanny, undoubtedly a very difficult person to get along with.

  However, in reality, Ahn Ji-soo didn't show any particular dislike towards them. With So-hyun as a buffer, they made an effort to get along over the past few months. As for how Yu-ri and the others were doing, that's not important right now. From Yu-ri's perspective, although she was 4 years younger than Ji-soo, they had some generational differences in their views on certain things, which occasionally led to arguments. Nevertheless, perhaps it was because of this rational and unbiased attitude, without any condescension or retreat, that she became the first among the girls, aside from So-hyun, to enter Ji-soo's heart.

  Of course, Yoon-ah wouldn't have such an objective view. She simply felt that she and Ji-soo had become friends earlier than others, and so she was a bit pleased and secretly delighted.

  Because in real life, among her, Su-young, So-hyun, Yu-ri, and Su-yeon, only she has almost no close friends other than them. Even Su-yeon, who often lets people down, has many girls willing to befriend her, but she... is rejected by most people.

  Yoon-ah was once puzzled by this question, but after being entangled for a long time, she couldn't find the answer. Although she is naturally optimistic and quickly forgot about it, she still cared about it. So she cherished her friendship even more, just like Xiuying, who loved to tease her, instructing her to touch other girls' buttocks or pretend to be a pervert to scare them. She really did it, and was called "perverse" behind her back. Sometimes when using the restroom, hiding in the cubicle could still hear some trainees discussing whether she is homosexual or not with tones of disgust or amusement.

  But what's the difference?

  Yuner is always very optimistic, thinking that since they don't accept her anyway, she might as well say whatever she wants!

  To some outsiders, this might be seen as a self-destructive behavior of an isolated girl, but in Yun's simple world, interpersonal relationships are just that polarized - being good to friends is crucial, and for those who aren't friends, it doesn't matter how much you offend them.

  The bus was moving slowly in the snow, and the road that had been gradually piled up with heavy snow could be seen everywhere, sweeping sanitation workers and volunteers, but relying solely on manpower, it was obviously impossible to solve the problem of the snow being compressed by vehicles and the road surface becoming slippery. Occasionally, a clumsy snowplow could also be seen rumbling past the window, scraping out a striking black stripe in the silver-white world.

  After walking slowly for almost an hour, Yun'er finally arrived at her destination.

  As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a small district entrance in the distance. Zhī Xiù was sitting in a wheelchair, her beautiful and delicate face lifted up amidst the wind and snow, gazing blankly at the overcast sky. Snowflakes danced around her, people hurried by, and it seemed like the entire world was in motion, except for her, who remained unchanged, as if isolated from this world.

  The girl put away the faint sadness that had been stirred up in her heart for a moment, and ran over with a lively and light step, laughing from afar: "Sister, how long have you been waiting?"

  "I don't know..." Zhī Xiù, who had snapped back to reality, tilted her head slightly, looking a bit dull and aloof. Yǒn ér didn't mind, having grown accustomed to it over the past few months; she knew that Zhī Xiù just wasn't good at expressing certain emotions, and hadn't expected her to respond. After asking, Yǒn ér pushed Zhī Xiù's wheelchair forward, complaining about the weather as they walked: "That small park was only discovered two days ago, and it's really beautiful! There's a lake with a pavilion in the middle, and a small river running along the edge of the park, connecting the two sides with bridges. Every day, many people go there to take a stroll, sing, dance, or try some snacks from the vendors. It's not far from here, so I was thinking of taking my sister there often to clear her mind... but wouldn't you know it, it snowed on the very first day! Ugh..."

  She kept talking non-stop with her small mouth, and Zhixiu listened patiently, only occasionally saying with a hint of impatience: "If I want to clear my mind, I can do it in the garden downstairs."

  Yuner giggled and said: "That's too small!" Then she ignored her awkwardness.

  The interaction between the two is often like reversing their ages, Ji-soo being the spoiled younger sister and Yoon-ah playing the role of an older sister who tolerates everything.

  The distance was indeed not far, and Yun'er pushed Zhi Xiu along the pedestrian path for a while before turning into a small alley at an intersection. After passing through two rows of high-rise buildings on either side, they saw the beautiful park she had mentioned, now covered in snow.

  Although the weather was very cold, the park became more lively at this time. On the open space outside, which was like a small square, many people were having snowball fights or building snowmen. Amidst the joyful shouts and laughter, the snowflakes danced in the air, swirling and drifting, as if they were rising mist.

  "Want to have a snowball fight?"

  Arriving at the edge of the empty land, Yuan'er watched as snowballs flew about inside, with men and women chasing and playing, and asked with a hint of eagerness.

  Zhi Xiu looked up at her for a moment, then lowered his head to glance at his wheelchair, before looking up again with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

  "Worst comes to worst, I'll just stand still and watch from a distance. Let's see who has more strength and can hit the target accurately." Yun'er proposed seemingly fairly.

  "Boring!"

  "Come on! Come on!"

  After a soft and hard bubble for a while, in fact, there was also a wise and dynamic heart movement. In the end, I still agreed. The two girls who were separated by nearly ten meters at both ends began a snowball fight that looked very strange to others.

  It's less than ten meters away, but considering the two girls, they can throw snowballs so far, it's generally the limit, but there are always some unexpected ones, such as Yun'er - she has a nickname called "Big Power".

  "Hahaha, Ahn Ji-soo, you're dead for sure!"

  A snowball was formed, and the boisterous girl laughed loudly as she threw it out with force. The snowball flew rapidly through the air, whizzing towards Ji-soo. Yoon-ah's eyebrows were slowly rising, already able to foresee her miserable figure covered in snowflakes the next moment.

  However, as mentioned above, there are always some unexpected events.

  A chubby boy, panting heavily, somehow managed to squeeze into the gap between the girls and started running slowly. He looked at Chi-shu, who was still holding a snowball on her wheelchair, with a strange gaze, then turned to Yoon-ah, whose face had just lit up with joy but quickly turned into terror. Before he knew it, everything went black, and with a loud "slap", his round head jerked upwards, and a handful of snow exploded on his forehead. He stumbled and fell backwards into the snowbank like a drunk person...

  Rushed back home in the morning, wanting to give Zhi Xiu a surprise, but learned from the nanny that Zhi Xiu and Yun Er had agreed to stroll through the park with An Jun He. After searching for this park, what I saw was such a strange scene - Yun Er's face was panicked as she ran around the empty space, behind her a furious and pale-faced fat man was chasing after her, while Zhi Xiu, who hadn't smiled in a long time, was clapping his hands and laughing happily!
