To my frozen hometown

Chapter 33 Some expressions are always hidden in the depths

Ten years ago, Central Greenhouse No. [-].

Outside a corner house, Angelica opened the door.

The wind chime on the door frame swayed, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The girl smiled lightly and walked into the door, her brown-gray boots stomping on the ground with creaking sounds.

The structure of the house is a duplex, divided into upper and lower floors, the area is not too large, it may even look a little crowded, but it has a different sense of warmth.

There is a recliner next to the bookcase in the corner, and Liuyuan always lies on it to read in his spare time.

In such an era, the price of books is not cheap, but fortunately, Angelica's father, who has never met, was once a very rare translation scholar, so he bought a lot of books for the family.

Angelica doesn't like reading, but she likes to sit in Liuyuan's arms and let him read to herself.

It's a pity that as she grew up, she gradually lost this kind of treatment.

There is no way, who made Angelica, who is only 16 years old, already have a height comparable to Liuyuan, let her lie in his arms, and Liuyuan doesn't need to read books.

In addition to Angelica's room on the second floor, there is also a small balcony.

There is a round table on the balcony, which is Angelica's favorite place to stay. She always sits at the table drinking tea and playing with her "toys".

Please don't get me wrong, these so-called "toys" are not real toys, but parts of firearms.

Ever since Yanagihara bought her the first pistol when Angelica was 13 years old, she seemed to like the feeling of dismantling firearms and putting them back together again.

Therefore, buying some firearm parts from time to time has become the routine of the Liuyuan family.

For this reason, the balcony on the second floor almost became Angelica's studio, filled with various barrels, firing pins, gears, sights, and dozens of different types of firearms.

It must be admitted that although Anjelica is still young, Liu Yuan is not as good as her in terms of understanding of firearms.

This year, Angelica has grown from a cute little girl to a slim young girl. Her tall and curvaceous figure gives her a "femininity" far surpassing Yanagihara's, and her exquisite facial features also make her look It looks very handsome.Unfortunately, she has a pair of too sharp eyes.

This makes her body always surrounded by a layer of icy aura that no strangers should approach, even when she smiles, she seems to have a bit of aggressive viciousness.

In fact, it was only because she fiddled with gun sights all day long that she became like this after she got a cramp in the corner of her eye.

Because of this, she still doesn't have any close friends of the same age, but she doesn't seem to care much about it, and she still lives happily every day.

With her brown hair hanging down her back, Angelica looked around the room, and finally saw Yanagihara who was busy in the kitchen.

"Hmph." She chuckled slightly, and her sharp eyes seemed to soften a lot.

Tiptoing to Liu Yuan's back, the girl stretched out her hands at lightning speed, trying to hug Liu Yuan's waist.

The next moment, a fruit knife stopped in front of her forehead, making her movements come to a sudden stop.

"Ha, ha." While sweating on the fruit knife on her forehead, the girl looked at Liu Yuan whose back was facing her, and said with a dry smile.

"Yuan, just let me give you a hug. Today is my birthday, isn't it?"

Liu Yuan's hand paused for a while, and finally he sighed, and put down the knife with a dark face.

"Hey." Angelica's expression brightened immediately, she put her arms around Liu Yuan's waist, and buried her face in her hair at the same time.

"Yuan, did you not wash your hair today?"

Behind him, a girl's voice came muffled.

"I just washed it yesterday." Liu Yuan replied flatly, cutting the dried meat on the chopping board.

"No, you have to wash your hair once a day, otherwise it will stink."

Angelica pouted and lifted her face, and put her chin on Liuyuan's shoulder again.

"Liu Yuan, you are always so lazy, just like those stinky men."

"If you smell bad, let go."

"No."

The corner of Liu Yuan's mouth twitched, but he still held back his anger and continued to process the ingredients "calmly".

To be honest, she doesn't like being hugged by others, just like a wild wolf doesn't like being touched on her belly, but who told her to have nothing to do with this girl.

"I am your elder, you should respect me."

Perhaps he said something helplessly, and Liu Yuan casually poured all the dried meat into a pot of soup.

"But you can't see it at all." Angelica turned her head sideways, looked at Liu Yuan's cheek that was close at hand, and narrowed her eyes like a cat.

"With Liu Yuan's current state, even if he is said to be my peers, some people will believe him."

Indeed, in Angelica's memory, Liu Yuan's appearance seemed to have never changed.

She once saw a photo of her mother and the other party together, and Liu Yuan at that time almost looked like this now.

It can even be said that there is no change at all.

"My age is enough to be your mother." Liu Yuan said depressedly, breaking a few Lu Ying eggs into a bowl and stirring them evenly.

She didn't tell the truth, nor did she exaggerate, because she was afraid of scaring Angelica.

After all, her age has completely exceeded the scope of a normal human being.

"Mother."

But who knows the next moment, Angelica suddenly laughed and yelled.

"Tsk." Liu Yuan's expression darkened, and he silently raised his hand and said.

"Your ass itches again?"

"Uh, I suddenly remembered that I still have a gun that hasn't been modified yet, so I'll go upstairs first."

After speaking, Angelica let go of Liu Yuan, clutched her buttocks and ran upstairs.

"Humph."

Looking at Angelica's back, Liu Yuan showed a subtle smile on his face.Then he shook his head and resumed his work.

······

In the evening, Liuyuan prepared dinner.

After placing the baked cake on the table, she called Angelica down as well.

Angelica, who just came out of the studio, was covered in black oil stains. When she saw the cake on the table, her eyes lit up immediately, and she reached out to grab it.

But he was photographed aside by Liu Yuan at the first time.

"Wash your hands first."

Putting the bowls and chopsticks on the table, Liu Yuan said flatly.

"I know, I know." Angelica seemed a little impatient, but she still went to the bathroom and rinsed her gun oil-stained hands.

Looking at the mirror in front of the sink, she felt a little dazed for no reason.

Time passed really quickly, and the sink was so high that she couldn't reach it before, but now she can only wash it with her hands hanging down.

She still remembered that Liu Yuan would hug her every time he washed his hands, and she got water all over his body.

Thinking of Liuyuan's look of wanting to hit her with anger but having to hold back, Anjelica subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

"Why are you standing there giggling, come over to eat." Liu Yuan's voice came from the living room.

"Oh, here we come." Angelica ran out of the bathroom in a panic.

The dinner was very harmonious, and the cake was Angelica's favorite chocolate flavor. In order to make such a flavor, Liu Yuan put in a lot of effort.Fortunately, I finally found a substitute for cocoa beans.

"good to eat."

At the dining table, Angelica bit the spoon in her mouth, feeling the sweet and bitter taste, and said with a satisfied face.

Then, she dug another piece of cake and brought it to Liu Yuan's mouth.

"Yuan, you can eat a piece too."

"No, your saliva is all over the spoon." Liu Yuan said while sitting opposite the girl, holding a roll of newspaper in his hand.

She had already eaten and drank enough, so she didn't want to eat anything more.

But this statement obviously irritated Angelica, she puffed her mouth, and then, taking advantage of Liu Yuan's inattention, she suddenly stuffed the spoon into the man's mouth.

"Well."

Feeling the spoon that was suddenly put into his mouth, Liuyuan looked helplessly at Angelica who was sitting opposite, but finally ate the cake.

"How about it? It's delicious." Angelica said triumphantly.

"You will be an adult after today, remember to be more prudent in the future." After shaking the newspaper in his hand, Liu Yuan said helplessly.

He is obviously quite mature at ordinary times, but why does he become the same as when he was a child again when his birthday comes?

"I know, anyway, with Liuyuan here, you will take care of me." Waving her hand carelessly, Anjelica continued to eat the cake in front of her.

······

At night, the two took a shower and went back to their own rooms.

But before Liu Yuan fell asleep, she heard the sound of the door being opened.

"Anjelica, go back to your own room." In the darkness, Liuyuan said weakly.

Just by hearing the footsteps, she knew who it was.

"Today is my birthday, just follow me once, okay?" The girl once again used this tried-and-true excuse.

With the help of the weak light, Liu Yuan opened her eyes. She looked at the girl standing in the room, as if thinking of something.

In the end, he still sighed and lifted the quilt.

"Okay, come in."

"Thank you Liuyuan, I like you the most."

Saying that, the girl lay down under the quilt together, kissed Liu Yuan on the cheek and said.

"Good night."

"OK, good night······"

The two of them lay together and gradually fell asleep.

Under the quilt, Angelica held Liuyuan's hand.That hand was cold and warm.

Until now, Angelica still believed that Liu Yuan could live with her forever.

Until now, Angelica still believed that this cabin would always be warm like this.

Until now, Angelica is still happy, as if she can forget all the worries in life.

Tomorrow, she can apply for an employer certificate.

When she has a formal qualification as an employer, she no longer has to just stay in the greenhouse, waiting for Liu Yuan to come back.

Everything will be better, and Anjelica has never looked forward to the next day so much.

It's a pity that she never thought that what she waited for would be such a second day.

With the morning sunshine, Liuyuan has gone...

What she saw were two letters on the table.

One about her life experience.

One was Liu Yuan's farewell.

In the farewell letter, Liu Yuan said that he was going to complete a commission and might not be able to come back.

She deposited enough supplies for Anjelica to continue living in the greenhouse, and said sorry at the same time.

However, this apology has no effect after all.

What Anjelica wants is not these.

She didn't know why Liu Yuan left suddenly, she thought Liu Yuan would come back, just like every commission before.

But Liu Yuan never came back.

People from the Employers' Association said that she might be dead, but Anjelica always felt that she was still alive.

So Angelica waited day after day, and her character became more and more indifferent, withdrawn, and weird.

Until she couldn't wait any longer, she left the greenhouse, and found the former "scavenger" according to the badge left by Liu Yuan.

She established the central mercenary regiment, and she wanted to find Liu Yuan, dead or alive.

She had to ask herself why Liu Yuan left suddenly back then.

She had to ask herself what she was in Liu Yuan's eyes.

Unfortunately, Angelica never opened the scavenger badge left by Yanagihara.

So she has never seen the sentence engraved in that badge.

"To my dear Angelica:

happy Birthday. "

Liu Yuan is good at letting go.
