Small Snowflakes and Big Ice Cubes

Seeing the young man burying his head next to him and making a fuss, Mr. Big Ice Cube moved his fingers silently again and again, but in the end he held back and did not reach out. He just spoke to comfort him: "Do you need my help?"

It's a pity that the soothing effect is not outstanding.

Xiaoxuehua stagnated with low air pressure all over her body, and turned to look up at him quietly: "...Oh, it sounds like you are very powerful?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, he smiled slightly: "How could it be... I only got a D in the spiritual examination back then. You must be much better than me."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuehua's eyes finally brightened.

——What a coincidence?His grades are also D-!

Vegetable chicken meets vegetable chicken, it is destined to meet thousands of miles away!

Xiao Xuehua's confidence suddenly became stronger, and she pretended to clear her throat: "Actually, I'm not much better than you, just a little bit, just a little bit."

Big Ice should claim to be, unassumingly.

"In this case, how about we help each other? If you help me tonight, I will help you tomorrow during the day."

The big ice cube is grateful and very polite.

Xiao Xuehua's vanity was greatly satisfied: "Then you warm up first, gather a few snowflakes to see, let me estimate your specific level, and I will divide the work later."

After hearing this, Big Ice Cube seemed a little hesitant for no reason. After reaching out his hand, there was also a hint of caution in his gaze.

Xiaoxuehua didn't notice his strangeness, she just nestled by the side, leisurely waiting to see his performance.

Hey, the appearance of this guy's condensed snowflakes should not be much better than his own.Laugh less, be more tolerant, and stop hurting each other if you are both scumbags.

Thinking this way, three seconds later, he watched helplessly as a block of ice the size of a brick formed on the palm of the opponent's hand in the blink of an eye...

"Ahhhhh—!?"

Xiaoxuehua gasped in fright, and rushed over to cover the ice brick in a hurry, for fear that the other party would not control it and really smash it down:

"No, no, no! This won't work!"

This has already surpassed the scope of ordinary hailstones. If it really hits, it will definitely kill people, right?

Seeing that others are rejoicing and preparing for the festival, if a natural disaster suddenly hits without warning...it would be too shameful.

The hands clasped tightly in the palms felt soft to the touch, and even the skin touching the surface of the ice cube felt unspeakably warm.The fingertips moved slightly, subconsciously wanting to tighten them, but in the end they didn't make any further movements.

The little snowflake in this room recovered from the fright, and couldn't help but glared at the other party with complaining eyes: "What's the matter with you? I asked you to make snowflakes. What did you make? You're kidding me!"

Mr. Big Ice Cube immediately lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and his attitude of apologizing was very sincere: "Sorry, I accidentally..."

"Can this be explained by accident?" The young man curled his fingers and tapped the ice brick a few times, "It's too far away, hey!"

The other party raised his eyelashes and looked at him cautiously, and moved his fingers quietly while he was not paying attention, and the ice cube instantly turned into powder and dispersed without a trace.

After successfully eradicating the crime, he pondered for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone was low and lonely: "Actually, I have been alone since I was a child... No one taught me how to make snowflakes."

Xiao Xuehua felt incredible when she heard this: "...you can't even make snowflakes? Then how did you work before?"

Big Ice Cube was silent about this, and silently lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing his obviously guilty appearance, Xiao Xuehua suddenly had a flash of light in her mind, and she suddenly realized: "Oh... I just found it strange that you were so proficient when you mentioned absenteeism, but you are actually a veteran! What are you talking about preparing to take over in advance, I think you are here to investigate the situation, to see if I am working hard, so as to lay a good foundation for you to skip work tomorrow!"

It seemed that he questioned too righteously, Mr. Big Ice Cube's shoulders trembled slightly.

When he raised his head again, there was only a faint trace of a smile left in his eyes: "...you saw it."

Seeing his confession, the young man couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, lamenting that the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not the same.

He had misjudged him before, this guy is not only not an honest person, but also a slippery ghost, very bad!A series of ghost ideas croaked, and in the end——

Didn't expect that?My little snowflake is also a salted fish, there is no way I can take advantage of it for you.

He snorted angrily: "You have a good idea. If you don't know how to make snowflakes, learn it for me. You said you would help, so don't try to slip away!" on his arm.

Big Ice Cube nodded obediently and agreed: "... Listen to you, you have the final say."

So, Teacher Xiaoxuehua, who wanted to teach people the way, began to try to recall how the senior uncle taught him how to get started:

If I remember correctly, it seems to be like this first, then that, and then it will be fine - if the content of this and that has not been forgotten by him.

Little Xuehua racked her brains, stuttered and recited all the fragments she could think of, and finally she was completely at a loss for words, so she had to break the jar and said: "Practice brings true knowledge, these theoretical things, it is actually too much to talk about." Useless!"

Big Ice Cube didn't raise any objection, and nodded obediently: "Yeah."

Feeling faintly that she seems to be misleading her disciples, Xiaoxuehua managed to hold back the feeling of guilt: "...Then I will show you a demonstration now, watch it!"

He solemnly spread out his palms, fixed his eyes on his fingertips, activated his spiritual power, and the water vapor in the air gathered silently, and in an instant, a snowflake successfully condensed on his fingertips.

The snowflake looked crystal clear, delicate and delicate, but unfortunately it only had five corners, and one edge was missing.

"... Cough, today's condition is not very good."

Resisting the urge to curl her fingers, Xiao Xuehua put her hands against her red ears and tried to act as if nothing had happened: "You can make up for it by your own imagination, there is one more horn here... that's what it looks like."

The other party didn't seem to see his embarrassment at all, and said softly, "Teacher is so amazing."

"..." Xiaoxuehua blinked, with a bit of uncertain embarrassment in her eyes, "Really?"

"En." He said, stretching out his hand, took the little snowflake from the boy's fingertips, and looked down for a long time, as if he was looking at some treasure, his eyes were so gentle that they almost dripped water.

Finally, he raised his eyes again and looked at the boy in front of him: "Little Xuehua is so beautiful."

"..."

The boy's ears, which had just lost a little warmth, were steaming again at this moment.

This guy is too ignorant... Isn't he just a snowflake missing a leg?As for making a tone like praising your wife?

——It made Xiao Xuehua feel embarrassed.

Holding back his shyness, he said in a rough voice: "Don't look at it! You should try it yourself... Don't do what I do. Ask for the six-pointed one, which is more beautiful."

Hearing the words, the other party did not follow suit, but shook his head slightly, and said softly, "I only need this piece."

……What's the meaning?

Just as Xiao Xuehua was about to question her, she suddenly sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air. She lowered her head and saw that the other party's fingertips were slowly gathering water vapor, starting from the incomplete corner of the snowflake, and finally condensed piece...

A regular and slender silver-white ice ring.

Xiao Xuehua was taken aback for a moment, and when she realized it, her face darkened again: "Why are you playing freely again? You—"

Just in the middle of the accusation, it was suddenly cut off by the other party: "Just now I heard you mentioned that you just came of age today, that is to say, today is your birthday?"

The boy looked at him a little depressed - no matter how hard you try to change the subject, you can't cover up the fact that you failed in practice, okay?

Having said that, he answered the other party's question honestly: "According to the date, it is like this... But I heard from my master that I took form at eleven o'clock at night, so to be precise, at eleven o'clock tonight It won't be my birthday until tomorrow night."

At this time in previous years, he was still at home waiting for his senior uncle to cut the cake for him. This year, he was forced by work orders, but he left his hometown without even completing the coming-of-age ceremony... How sad it is.

He was thinking sadly when a heavy bell suddenly sounded in his ear.

Exactly eleven.

...Being agitated by all kinds of things, before he knew it, an entire hour had passed since his scheduled work schedule.

As the zero o'clock approached, there was another burst of lively laughter in the square with singing and dancing in the distance.

The young man looked in that direction from afar, with a hint of admiration on his young and handsome face.

He was in a trance when he suddenly felt his left hand being held up, and in the next second, something cold was put on his ring finger.

Subconsciously looking down, the ice ring that the other party condensed earlier was now fitting on his ring finger, and the size was not bad at all.

The piece of incomplete snowflake bloomed lightly on the silver ice ring end to end, like crystal and fine diamonds, exquisite and gorgeous.

"..."

Xiaoxuehua stared blankly at her ring finger helplessly, and it took her a while to think of raising her head again, just in time to meet those eyes that were fixedly looking at him.

The first impression of those silver eyes is that it should be unkind and cold ice, but at this moment, it has a turbulent and depressing gloomy background, as if the ancient glaciers melted into a vast ocean, and the emotions poured out It is about to completely drown the person in front of him.

He held the boy's fingers with very light force, as if he didn't dare to use force at all, for fear of scaring him away in the next second, and the words he said were so gentle that it was outrageous.

"Happy birthday, little snowflake."

"..."

Xiao Xuehua's eyes were straight, and she foolishly looked at the two affectionate eyes behind the other's mask.

……

what……

damn...

he looks like……

got teased...
