Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

The next morning, Qin Xiao went out for exercise as usual.

He originally wanted to ask Mo Hanyu to join him, but after thinking about it, he decided to go out and take a look first.

The snow had stopped, and the outside was covered in white. Both the trees and the ground were covered with thick snow. When I opened the door, the snow on the door fell off, and some of the snow fell on my skin, which was icy and made my body shiver uncontrollably.

Qin Xiao touched his neck and looked at the white world outside.

The snow was up to my knees, making it difficult to walk, let alone run.

Qin Xiao sighed, took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt something move beside him.

Qin Xiao turned his head and found a child made of snow next to him.

——No, this is just a child.

The child was squatting, and when he felt someone walking by, he shook his head as if he had just thawed, and the snow on his body fell off.

Qin Xiao looked at the child quietly, still surprised that he was not frozen to death.

After the snow on his body fell off, Qin Xiao finally understood why he had not died after squatting in the snow all night in such a cold weather.

The child's whole body is covered with a thin layer of aqua blue water film, which provides protection for the child.

Qin Xiao felt that this person looked familiar.

"...Tian Miao?" Qin Xiao called him hesitantly.

When the child heard the noise, he raised his head blankly. The moment he saw him, his eyes lit up. Then, as if he thought of something, he lowered his head.

"Didn't you go home all night?" Qin Xiao continued to ask, still feeling a little surprised that Qiu Puyue and the others didn't follow him.

Tian Miao lowered his head, pouted his lips and said nothing.

Qin Xiao waited for a while, and seeing that he still had no intention of answering, he did not ask any more questions. He raised his head and looked around. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he heard a whisper behind him.

"I...I don't..."

Qin Xiao didn't hear the last word clearly, and turned to look at him: "What?"

"I said... I'm not stupid." Tian Miao hummed for a long time and whispered, "I'm not stupid."

After saying that, he stared at his hands and kept picking at his nails.

Qin Xiao didn't say anything for a long time.

As time passed, Tian Miao became more and more uneasy, and finally he grabbed a handful of snow from the side and threw it at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao: ...

Just then someone came out of the house and held his breath when he saw this scene.

They haven't forgotten what happened yesterday.

Qin Xiao lowered his head and looked at the snow mark left on his abdomen, feeling a little puzzled.

Tian Miao raised his head and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"what happened?"

Qin Xiao asked again.

"You, you also think I'm a fool." Tian Miao shouted.

Qin Xiao: "...So what do you want to express?"

Tian Miao's lips trembled for a moment, and he tilted his head and thought: "I'm not a fool."

Qin Xiao: "...and then?"

"So you are not allowed to treat me as a fool."

Qin Xiao nodded: "I understand, then what?"

"And then, and then..." Tian Miao frowned and began to rack his brains to think of something else.

Seeing that his face was about to wrinkle, Qin Xiao did not continue to ask, and shook off the snow on his body: "Where are Yin Xihui and the others?"

"I, I let them go." Tian Miao successfully changed the subject, and he still felt guilty, "...I even threw snow at them..."

Qin Xiao got excited when he heard this: "How did you smash it?"

Tian Miao didn't think twice before digging another ball of snow and threw it directly at Qin Xiao's face: "Just... like this."

Qin Xiao was quick-eyed and quick-headed, and dodged by tilting his head.

Qin Xiao saw Tian Miao's guilty and somewhat guilty expression and smiled: "If you feel embarrassed, you can go and apologize to them."

Tian Miao scratched his head and chin, struggling for a while.

Finally, Tian Miao bowed his head and apologized when Yin Xihui and the others came out. Qiu Purue was shocked and didn't quite understand why he suddenly apologized.

Only after Qin Xiao's reminder did she react and told him with a smile that it was nothing.

"Why didn't you call me today?" Mo Hanyu stared at him with dissatisfaction, with drooping eyelids and slightly fluffy hair.

Qin Xiao was helpless: "Didn't I tell you that I wanted to go out and see if I could run. If not, I'll let you guys sleep a little longer. I didn't do anything secretly..."

Mo Hanyu was obviously dissatisfied with this answer and poked him secretly.

Qin Xiao didn't bother with him.

Because Mo Hanyu had never seen snow, he couldn't help being excited when he suddenly saw so much snow on the ground today. Qin Xiao saw that the other people were also happy to see the snow scene, so he didn't work all day like before. After completing the task in the morning, he didn't care about it anymore.

"You said you won't do it in the afternoon?" Mo Hanyu still looked at him in surprise.

Qin Xiao nodded: "I see you like snow very much, so I won't do it this afternoon, just have fun."

"What about you?" Mo Hanyu asked.

"I'm watching from the side."

This news obviously surprised Qiu Purue and the others, but she said nothing and happily ran to the hillside to play in the snow.

Seeing that they all went to play in the snow, Qin Xiao ran to the tree and sat quietly.

A snowball hit me.

"Why don't you come down and play?" Mo Hanyu stood under the tree, looking up at him.

Qin Xiao saw that the tip of the child's nose and ears were red from the cold, but his eyes were still shining with joy.

"Just play with me—"

Before Qin Xiao could finish his words, he saw Mo Hanyu making another snowball and was about to throw it up.

Qin Xiao had no choice but to dodge, and seeing that he was going to continue, he could only jump down: "What do you want to do?"

Before he could finish his words, Mo Hanyu suddenly approached and hugged him.

Qin Xiao's pupils shrank slightly. He was suddenly surrounded by a cool breath and was unable to react for a while.

Then, he felt Mo Hanyu stuffing a snowball into his neck.

Qin Xiao: ...

The loose snowball scattered the moment it entered the collar. There was no time to take it out. I could only feel the cold snowball flowing down my spine, slowly turning into ice water and stimulating the nerves in my back.

Qin Xiao shuddered violently, frowned uncomfortably, pulled up his collar to pour out the remaining snow, but Mo Hanyu pulled him back and patted his back a few times.

Now all the snow had melted, and the cold snow water soaked through the back of my shirt.

Qin Xiao's eyes gradually turned unfriendly as he looked at him.

Mo Hanyu wanted to make a joke, but seeing his expression, he felt something was wrong and immediately lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry."

Qin Xiao ignored him and just stared at him.

Seeing him like this, Mo Hanyu felt even more guilty: "...I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a joke. If you don't like it, then forget it."

Mo Hanyu had heard from his brother before that he played this kind of game with his friends. This was also his first time trying it. He didn't expect Qin Xiao to have this kind of reaction.

It seems that this joke has gone too far...

Mo Hanyu lowered his head and thought listlessly.

Without hearing Qin Xiao's answer, Mo Hanyu didn't dare to look up. He just lowered his head and pouted.

Feeling the person opposite him bending down, Mo Hanyu was puzzled. Just as he looked up, his face was covered with snow.

"Are you still feeling aggrieved?" Qin Xiao's cold voice sounded in his ears.

"I do not--"

Before Mo Hanyu could refute, he felt someone pushed him again. This was beyond his expectations. He lost his balance and sat on the ground. Before he could wipe the snow off his face, he felt another handful of snow falling from the top of his head.

"Don't move." Qin Xiao pressed Xue on his head and patted him.

After hearing what was said, Mo Hanyu hugged his knees and lowered his head, being very obedient and not moving.

Qin Xiao piled snow on him without saying a word, and only stopped when he was completely buried in the snow.

"Don't move." Qin Xiao said immediately when he saw that he wanted to move.

Mo Hanyu retracted his arm that he wanted to stretch out and rested his head on his arm.

"Hold on... for one minute." Qin Xiao wanted to say more, but after looking at his expression, he relaxed.

Mo Hanyu heard this and gently closed his eyes.

Qin Xiao sat down opposite him and patted the snow off his hands.

This made his hands red.

Qin Xiao rubbed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

When the minute was up, Qin Xiao stood up, pinched Mo Hanyu's shoulders, and shook them. Snow fell down.

Qin Xiao even patted the snow off his head and said, "Why do you look so gloomy all day long?"

Mo Hanyu glanced at him listlessly: "...I'm sorry, don't be angry..."

"I'm not angry." Qin Xiao brushed the snow off his face and neck and said lightly.

Mo Hanyu turned back suddenly, his eyes lit up: "No?!"

"Of course." Qin Xiao stretched out his index finger and gathered the hair on his face behind his ears.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips: "Are you scaring me?"

Qin Xiao flicked his forehead with his curved finger: "You are too sensitive."

"I--" Mo Hanyu wanted to refute, but the words got stuck at his lips. Finally, he shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away.

"I'm just afraid that you will ignore me if you get angry." Mo Hanyu muttered softly.

When Qin Xiao heard this, he paused, and his eyes seemed to change, with some inexplicable meaning.

"...No." Qin Xiao said, ruffling his hair again.

"Really?" Mo Hanyu looked at him with shining eyes.

Such a burning gaze made Qin Xiao feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, turned his head, and replied softly, "Yes."

Mo Hanyu immediately broke into a smile and hugged his waist with a smile: "Hehe——"

Qin Xiao: ...

Look at you, you're so silly...

Qin Xiao felt a little disgusted.

Mo Hanyu added a little more strength and hugged her tighter.

"Almost OK - Shit!"

Mo Hanyu almost thought he had heard it wrong. He looked up and saw a snowball stuck in Qin Xiao's neck, leaving a mark on his face.

Mo Hanyu let go and looked in the direction where the snowball came from.

I saw Yin Xihui still fighting one against two, dodging left and right, and he was able to gain the upper hand despite being at a disadvantage in numbers, which was enough to show how excellent he was.

But Mo Hanyu only felt that the black energy of the people around him was about to condense into a solid entity.

Qin Xiao said nothing and brushed the snow off his face.

Mo Hanyu patted his knees and stood up, quietly looking at his expression.

"Xiao——"

As soon as Mo Hanyu opened his mouth, Qin Xiao looked at him suddenly as if he was stimulated by something.

"What did you call me?"

Mo Hanyu was puzzled: "Xiao."

"…Why do you call me that?"

"Isn't your last name Qin Xiao? It would be more convenient to call you that." Mo Hanyu smiled, "You can also call me by my name."

Qin Xiao: “…No need.”

"...Don't you like me calling you that?"

Qin Xiao paused slightly and shook his head: "No, as long as you like it."

Qin Xiao said this, turning his gaze towards the three people who were having fun.

Feeling the envious gazes of the children around him, Qin Xiao looked at him and said, "Why don't you go play with them too?"

"Aren't you going?" Mo Hanyu looked at him, "You can come too."
