blue stars

In that piece of land, Ginger's and his wife's tombs are juxtaposed, and they are leaning against each other.

I held the flowers that Minter bought from Alice, which was a bouquet of wild flowers for sweeping graves. Looking at the snow that was as white as this bouquet of flowers, my mood was beyond words for a while.

I thought that if I left, I would no longer have to bear the sorrow of the old man's departure. I thought that if I left, I would be able to forget the sorrow of the old man's disappearance.

In an instant, all the memories rushed to my face. On the night my mother passed away, it was also snowing like this, so cold to the bone, so fresh in my memory, so caught off guard.

I have obviously forgotten all the past, but they are like scourges.

"Mint... If I hadn't left Portia, would I have found a way to cure Ginger?" The uneasiness in my heart seemed to have found a reason, so I asked Mint that question.

"I can't blame you. We didn't expect this to happen so suddenly. In fact, Dr. Xu is almost on the verge of finding a cure. It's a pity that Ginger didn't wait until then."

"Why didn't you wait?" I looked at him.

"Ginger is still waiting for your flowers." Geist came over and interrupted my questioning. It seemed that he didn't want me to ask more about Ginger.

I took a deep breath and put down the flowers in my hand, and I finally understood what the heaviness between Geist and Minter meant.I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I have been unwilling to believe it.

"Back then, my mother was also like this. She already had a cure, but she was no longer willing to wait until the disease was cured." At that time, I was young and didn't know what sadness was. Later, when I understood, Everyone has started to move away from me.

"Ginger just went to another world. Maybe in that world, she can help us visit those we can no longer see." Minter comforted me.

Thinking about it this way, I do feel a lot more comfortable. "I thought I would never see Ginger again, so I ran back in a hurry, but it turned out that I really would never see Ginger again." I joked.

Geist looked at me with no heavy eyes, as if he was a little more relaxed. I think he must be surprised that I would mention my dead mother so lightly.

"It's too cold here, let's go back, Ginger definitely doesn't want me to catch a cold in this world."

In the face of pain, someone must stand up bravely.

In the evening, we went to Geller's house for dinner. Without Ginger, the house became much quieter. Maybe there were only a few men left, and they lived life in a casual way.

I brought some flowers and dishes that Geller and Russo liked.

Ginger was the baby of the family, and when the baby was lost, everything seemed to lose its luster.Geller was still relieved to see me again, but he was just a regular old man, not funny anymore.He still wanted me to stay, and I didn't dare to answer him directly, but just chatted with him about the developments I saw in the places I passed.

When I was leaving, Geist was kicked by someone to see me off. In fact, I wanted to say that Geller’s house is not far from where I live, but seeing his appearance, I swallowed this sentence back.

In fact, it was a gift, but it was better to say that he followed me all the time, and we just walked one after the other.The snow stopped a bit, and the lights in Pichi Square illuminated the ground white. Although the road had been cleared, the snow piled up again immediately.

"Be careful." I reminded Geist behind me that the people who came and went during the day had already trampled the snow into ice piles, and they might stumble somewhere at any time.

Geist just followed behind me, following my footprints, and after a while, he said slowly, "Would you like to watch the fireworks?"

How come his hobbies still haven't changed?

"It's too cold." I didn't even think about it.

"I could go get a stove ready." He wasn't discouraged.

"I don't want to go too far," I said after thinking about it, "Go to the back of the yard."

Behind the yard is my factory. I used to make a rocking chair here. Ike used to help me sort out the weeds and garbage here.I thought this side had turned into a barren lawn, but it turned out to be much better than I imagined.

The yard still looks like someone is taking care of it, and even the snow has been swept several times.

The rocking chair was blocked by a parasol, but it was not covered by snow. I sat down and looked at the yard which was similar to when I left, and seemed to gradually understand why Geist refused to rent out my house.

Geist and I are still in a partnership and there are so many of our memories here.

He really didn't know where to get a stove to burn the high-quality iron wood that had been piled up in my factory warehouse for two or three years.When I saw that Tiemu, my eyes almost went blind, of course it was too late to stop him.

"Honey, are you really not going to stay?"

"I have too many enemies." I laughed, but it was a fact.Although Ursula has never been caught, the bandit guild on the border of Lucian is eager to tear me apart, and my reward on their black market is getting higher and higher every year. "I don't want to have a war prophet every week."

He looked at me quietly, with stars shining in his eyes, maybe he also found that stopping and persuading me was of no use, so he didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon I met Dr. Xu, and he told me the real reason for Ginger's death.He has indeed found a way to cure Ginger, but Portia does not have a workshop master who can complete the collection of those medicinal materials.

As long as I stay in Portia, Geist will always think that Ginger's death was indirectly caused by my departure, and he and I will never get back to the beginning.

The fireworks lit by Geist are colorful, illuminating this pure white world. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and the whole Portia will witness the splendor of this moment.

He took my hand and pulled me into his arms, "Is it still cold?" he asked.

I shook my head, his embrace was warm enough to make me reluctant to leave.

I think it would be great if time could stop at this moment forever, at this moment when we embrace each other forever.

It's just that everyone should have a new start, for me, for Geist, for Geller and all the people living in Portia.

"Gest, thank you."
