Small Snowflakes and Big Ice Cubes

The night was getting darker and the wind was bitterly cold.

The thin and straight young man stood proudly facing the wind on the roof of a domed cathedral. His face was fair and handsome, and his clear and bright eyes looked down at the whole city in front of him.

There was a long silence, but seeing his lips move, the low voice quickly dissipated in the cold wind:

"GG..."

It took half an hour to silently type out the draft of the first-time job experience that was to be handed in when he was fired. In the next second, the little snowflake boy sat slumped on the top of the church at his feet as if he had lost all his bones.

How can there be someone on the night shift on the first day?How can it be repaired!

Not long ago, the captain who was in charge of the nearby area assigned him a work task, and the words were still in my ears.

——The snowfall time is from 1.5:[-] to [-]:[-], and the front and back deviation should not exceed a quarter of an hour. The distribution range includes the area surrounded by the first to fifth central avenues of City C. The final evaluation standard is that the average snow thickness on the ground is more than [-] inches.

"..."

Looking down at the work card on her chest again, Xiao Xuehua couldn't help but began to sigh.

Not to mention how many inches he can accumulate, it is not even a question of whether he can gather enough time...

In any case, time treats everything in the world equally.It will not walk slower because of the fear of the unknown in its heart; nor will it walk faster because its muscles and bones are tired.

No matter how hard he tried to escape from reality, the church bell rang at the same time, no more, no less, exactly nine times, spreading in the cold air, followed by faint echoes around the city.

In another quarter of an hour, the real trial will begin.Following the teachings of the senior uncles in the past, Xiaoxuehua started warming up ahead of time.

Xuetongzi's snow distribution process is very particular. Although it can be summarized as using his own spiritual power to condense water vapor in the air and turn it into frost and snow, the shape of the condensed snowflakes, the approximate density of the falling in the air, and the The cooperation of wind force and wind direction... everything is a factor that needs to be carefully adjusted.

As for the so-called "warm-up", it is to simulate a mini snowfall test by yourself before the official start of work.

Xiaoxuehua turned her head to look at the cross beside her, prayed silently with an unknown meaning, took a few deep breaths with the corners of her mouth tightly pursed, and then spread her right palm.

Close your eyes, concentrate, calm your breath, and gently stimulate the spiritual power to circulate at your fingertips.After a few seconds, he cautiously opened his eyes.

One, two... Sparse pieces of snow fell silently on the hand, and then... instantly turned into transparent wet marks.

Looking at the scattered drops of water on her palm, Xiao Xuehua immediately flattened her lips in frustration, covered her face with her hands, buried her head on her knees, curled up into a ball, and did not move for a long time.

He can't even make decent big snowflakes, each one looks like it's missing a limb... what can he do?He is also very desperate!

The sound of cheers and singing and dancing faintly came from the square in the distance, which further accentuated the small corner in the middle of the sky, which was pitifully desolate and lonely.

Happiness belongs to others, and he has nothing to gain.

Leaving the shelter of the teacher's sect and being a leader alone, who would have expected that everything will go wrong and setbacks frequently throughout the day, and the surroundings will be unfamiliar with all kinds of people... The young boy who was pampered since childhood began to feel a little sore nose again .

He just huddled into a ball like this, and looked at himself aggrievedly for a while, until——

Without warning, a strange voice suddenly sounded very close to him——

"What's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"

The sound quality is extremely cold and hard, reminiscent of the thick ice layer on the surface of the cold lake, and it feels cold just by listening to it.However, the owner of the voice seemed to be threatening to scare him, using a very incongruous, soft tone.

But even so, Xiao Xuehua was still taken aback.

He lifted his head from between his knees, and his eyes were all silvery white.

It's not that he buried his head for too long and felt that his eyes were blurry, but that the figure that appeared in front of him without a sound at some point, his entire body was icy white.

The other party is very tall, wearing a simple white long windbreaker, and a silver mask on his face, making it impossible to see the specific face, only a small piece of pale skin is exposed at the neckline, and behind him is a hair with exaggerated length. His long silver-white hair was meticulously meandering straight down to his feet.

"..."

Little Xuehua was so intimidated by this stranger's outfit that her eyes were straightened, and she was speechless.

The other party's eyes rested quietly on his face, and two seconds later, he suddenly half-bent down, and looked at him fixedly, with obvious worry in his tone:

"……Cried?"

Because of the opponent's sudden approach, Xiao Xuehua's eyes widened reflexively, and then without any defense, she looked at the eyes behind the mask.

...even the eyeballs are silver.

Subconsciously sighed in my heart, and then realized the content of his words.

--cry?

The young man froze for a moment, raised his hand to wipe his face, and indeed felt a little wetness - it should be the snow water on his face when he covered his face with his hand just now.

Pulling her sleeves a few times to wipe her face dry, Xiao Xuehua proudly raised her neck, and her voice clearly denied San Lian:

"I'm not! I don't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Although I did have the feeling of wanting to cry just now, but I really haven't had time to actually cry——

Fortunately, this guy made his voice a few seconds earlier!

Just as he was secretly rejoicing, the team leader's voice suddenly came out from the communicator on his wrist, with a stern tone: "What's going on in the central square? Who is the snow boy on duty, and the time is up and you won't start work!?"

Xiaoxuehua immediately ignored the suspicious stranger in front of her, and hurriedly jumped up, stammering, trying to give a reasonable explanation for her passive sabotage, and at the same time trying her best to implicitly hint that her ability was limited, hoping The captain can slightly reduce the work intensity.

The captain at the other end of the connector ruthlessly rejected it on the spot: "How can you change the work arrangement that you have made?"

The expression on the boy's face collapsed, and even though the other party couldn't see him, he still put on a star-eyed expression: "Please! I just came of age today, and I'm still a child laborer! Captain, brother, you are the best..."

When I was at home, every time I encountered a problem that I couldn’t solve, Xiaoxuehua used it like this to trick the senior uncle and beg for forgiveness... Now facing the team leader on the other side of the link, he subconsciously and habitually used After practicing the Dafa of coquettishness, the voice dragged softly, as if soaked in a few catties of sugar water, which made people's ears itchy.

He acted coquettishly without realizing it, and the captain on the other end hadn't responded yet, but the silver eyes behind the mask of the strange man on the side moved slightly, and there was a trace of indescribable unpredictability in his eyes, with a cold look Glance at the communicator.

His voice came out through the thin silver mask, and it sounded inexplicably colder than before:

"Don't do it if you don't want to do it, you don't need to ask him."

As soon as he uttered a word, Xiao Xuehua frantically tried to cover the communicator, but it was too late, and the captain on the other end clearly heard every word clearly.

"Oh, there are other people around!? Not to mention paddling and fishing during working hours, but also privately partnering, right?"

"..."

Xiaoxuehua was speechless, speechless, and could only listen to the anger of the other party's words.

"Stay there and don't move, I'll come over and deal with you little bastards!"

With a fierce remark, Comrade Captain cut off the channel signal.

"..."

There was a long silence in the whole space.

Xiaoxuehua cast her bitter eyes on the inexplicable guy in front of her, complaining and complaining: "...what are you going to say?"

I don't know if it was out of guilt, the other party was also silent for a while: "Sorry... I just think he is too much."

The young man was still angry, and continued to grunt a few times in dissatisfaction. The bad thoughts in his head turned around, and he simply started to throw the blame openly by venting his anger:

"I don't care, it's all your fault anyway... When the captain comes to investigate the responsibility, I will say that you made me unable to work because of the noise, like this."

Seeing his cheeky appearance, there was a faint smile in the cold silver eyes behind the mask, and he didn't refute, but just responded softly:

"Ah."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuehua couldn't help but glanced at the other party strangely.

——Hmm what eh?It's all right?

It looks cool, but it turned out to be a big fool!

But no matter what, now that the py transaction has been done, the young man who has found a good shield for himself feels a little more at ease.

Within a few minutes, the captain came to the door in a hurry, and the voice came from a long way: "Number xxxx! 'Xiao Xuehua', right! Hurry up and get out!"

Little Xuehua didn't even think about it, she slipped away and hid behind the strange man, trying to grab the fabric of the man's back, but unexpectedly grabbed a small tuft of silver hair.

The other party's silver hair is not only amazingly long, but also surprisingly good in quality. It feels smooth and smooth in the hand, like a handful of high-quality ice silk.

Xiao Xuehua subconsciously twirled the hair in her hands lightly, and following his movements, the man's back froze for a moment.

The young man didn't notice the strangeness of the other party in that brief moment. Seeing the captain coming aggressively, he just kept his head buried in the 300 taels of silver and muffled: "It's not me! It's not me! I need to find the person in front of me!"

His yelling immediately exposed the source of the sound, and Comrade Captain, with a dark face, immediately rushed towards the top of the church.

As a result, as soon as he was in the middle of the sky, a figure suddenly broke into his field of vision...a figure that should never have appeared at this time and place.

"...!"

The night was low and there were no stars around. There was only a deep dark blue background above the church, but the person standing on the roof seemed to be covered with a faint silver halo.

The man was tall and graceful, his long flawless silver hair fluttered slightly in the night wind, and the silver mask on his face added a bit of mystery for no reason, objectively speaking—it was actually a pleasing picture ,

However, the moment his eyes touched that figure, the captain showed a ghost-like expression on his face.

Seeing the sudden change in his expression, the other party didn't seem to care, his eyes were cold and calm, as if looking at a pile of lifeless organisms.

There was only a slow and soft voice, floating slowly along the night wind: "Who are you telling to get out?"

Hearing the words, the captain choked, his breath became flustered, and he almost fell from mid-air. It took him a lot of effort to stabilize his figure, and he wobbled to a stop on the roof, carefully keeping a distance of three meters from the other party.

"ice--"

The other party raised his eyelashes slightly, and the eyes behind the mask silently passed over his face.

Instinctively, he swallowed his saliva, and the team leader babbled and changed the subject: "...my lord...why did you appear here?"

--What?

The little ostrich hiding behind (crossed out) Xiaoxuehua was very puzzled, she couldn't help but frowned, and couldn't help but carefully poked half of her head, looked at this and then that, and repeated in a subtle voice:

"... Bing Daren?"

——Is this a strange name dug up somewhere?

Hearing the undisguised disgust in his words, Mr. Shield turned his head slightly to look at him, his gaze behind the mask passed over the nameplate on his chest without any trace, and he thought for a second:

"Big ice cube. My name."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on the face of the young captain in front of him instantly became very tangled. He was hesitant to speak, hesitant to speak, and finally closed his mouth obediently after receiving a vague and cold peripheral vision. .

—Big ice cubes?

On the other side, Xiao Xuehua's eyes brightened.

Such a promising name!It's just like his name!

Comparing with the rustic "Bing Daren" before, Xiao Xuehua quickly saw through everything sharply, and mustered up the courage to turn her eyes full of condemnation to the team leader:

"A big ice cube is a big ice cube, why give people nicknames indiscriminately?"

team leader:"……"
