Chapter 18 I have to trick her into kissing me. It's the first snow.

The silly roe deer lay down on the ground with all four legs and finally stopped making noise.

Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi tiptoed around it and fled away with its aggrieved whimpering sound.

In a panic, Jiang Ziyi lost her stick.

Gu Zhiyan chose a longer and straighter one for her.

After unlocking the new weapon, Jiang Ziyi looked back at the forest path with melancholy.

"Goodbye, Yingzi." The hot breath of Silly Roe Deer seemed to still linger between her fingers.

Gu Zhi: …So it’s already been named.

The frosty blue ice lake was right in front of him. Jiang Ziyi raised his foot to step on it, but Gu Zhi stopped him behind him as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

After confirming that the lake was completely frozen, she finally got permission to go on the ice.

Jiang Ziyi had long arms and legs, but her limbs were not coordinated. She would fall halfway every time she slipped. Both of her shoes slipped at the same time, and she was about to do the splits, but Gu Zhi grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her up.

"Hey, I can stand." Jiang Ziyi turned his head to protest.

Gu Zhi loosened his hand like teasing a cat, and Jiang Ziyi lost his balance and fell backwards, falling into his arms.

He took the opportunity to press a kiss to her cold forehead.

Jiang Ziyi covered his head a beat late.

The lake water flowed slowly under the ice, the mountains were high and far away, the woods were quiet, and it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.

Gu Zhi couldn't help but slow down his breathing.

White snowflakes fell from the sky, and the first snow suddenly arrived at this moment.

"Do you want to make a wish?" Jiang Ziyi raised his palm.

"Okay." Gu Zhi also caught a snowflake.

——We can finally spend the first snow of this year together. Who says this is not a good sign?

————————————————————

Jiang Ziyi turned on his cell phone in the break room, and three missed calls from Gu Zhi were neatly arranged in the recent calls list.

The earliest one is at 16:47, and the rest are at 19:00 and 21:00 respectively.

Just through these three timestamps, Jiang Ziyi could guess Gu Zhi's mental activities.

He must have been eager to share some news with her, but found that she was busy, so he waited patiently for a while, and then called her again at exactly seven o'clock.

Unfortunately, she still didn't answer. He endured it for two hours and decided to disturb her one last time, still very serious.

"Hello?" Gu Zhi's voice soon sounded from the other end.

"I just went with the crew to record a program. It's the one called 'Competing on the Same Stage' that requires players to pass ten levels in a row." Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but show off.

"Did you win?" Gu Zhi asked immediately.

"I won, I won," Jiang Ziyi started talking. "I threw the sandbag the farthest. I was the only one who dared to take out the snake from the box. I guessed four out of five brain teasers... I carried the first, third and fourth girls in my arms like princesses. There are many men who can't do that!"

"Wow, this is amazing, you are worthy of it." Gu Zhi praised.

The main purpose of the crew participating in the variety show is for publicity. Compared with winning or losing the game, selling CP, establishing characters and grabbing the spotlight are more important.

But as long as Jiang Ziyi has fun, Gu Zhi thought nonchalantly.

"It's a pity that I lost a point in the 'You gesture and I guess' segment. My partner this time is still too green. He didn't even know how to act while riding the bus. If it were the two of us going, we would definitely be able to break the record..." Jiang Ziyi said with regret.

"Your partner?" Gu Zhi asked sourly.

"That's my husband, the one who killed his wife in order to ascend to heaven and prove his truth, but was struck to death by lightning." Jiang Ziyi briefly explained the character's background.

"It's the husband in the TV series." Gu Zhi corrected her. The husband in real life was talking to her.

"You haven't participated in any variety show yet, right?" Jiang Ziyi didn't feel that he was jealous.

"Well, I haven't found a suitable opportunity," Gu Zhi paused, "After all, it's my first variety show, and I want to go with you." He said softly.

"Okay," Jiang Ziyi agreed immediately, "I know how to play games. I'll take you flying when the time comes!"

"It's a deal." Gu Zhi smiled.

"Oh, by the way, what did you want to talk to me about on the phone?" Jiang Ziyi asked.

"It's nothing, actually," Gu Zhi felt embarrassed, "...it just snowed today." Such a small matter didn't seem worth contacting her three times.

"Is this the first snow of the year?" Jiang Ziyi looked out the window. The treetops were bare and a street lamp was shining lonely on the wall.

"Yes, but it has stopped now," Gu Zhi said tenderly, "I wish you were by my side."

They are now in the same city, but they can't see each other.

"It snowed too early," Jiang Ziyi blamed God, "If it had snowed at the same time last year, maybe we could have gone out to see a movie together."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Gu Zhi agreed.

In fact, both of them knew that even if the date last year really came, there would still be new jobs coming their way.

"Gu Zhi, you can call me more often," Jiang Ziyi was silent for a while, and said to Gu Zhi, "You don't have to wait so long."

This was a euphemism for saying that she missed him.

"Okay." Gu Zhi's heart melted like a snowflake in his palm.

————————————————————

"What wish did you make just now?" Jiang Ziyi straightened his body again like a little giraffe learning to walk.

"It won't work if you tell it to her." Gu Zhi didn't tell her.

If gods really exist, he hopes Jiang Ziyi can be a little luckier.

"Hmph, then I won't tell you either." Jiang Ziyi's arms flapped wildly in the air, trying to maintain her balance in this way.

"Where is it planning to fly to spend the winter?" Gu Zhi asked the strange bird.

"I don't want to skate anymore. It's boring." Jiang Ziyi kicked the ice angrily.

"Hey, you guys are here!" Yu Huating, carrying two fishing rods, greeted Gu Zhi from a distance.

"Don't think about your fish! I won't go fishing with you!" Du Xiaofang strode to the other side of the lake. "You sat there for half a day, freezing to death, and didn't catch anything!" She gave a brilliant summary of the history of fishermen in Huating.

"Who said there's no hair left? Didn't you catch a carp?" Director Yu groaned angrily.

"That's what you bought at the market. The fish's mouth isn't even broken!" Du Xiaofang slid neatly on the ice and teleported in front of Jiang Ziyi. "Forget about him. I'm going with you."

Jiang Ziyi looked at her agile figure with envy.

As the snow fell heavier, the three decided to take shelter in an abandoned ranger's cabin.

Through the wooden window frame, you can still see the desolate back of Yu Huating as he insists on fishing.

Du Xiaofang gloated for a while and prepared to go out to persuade her husband to come back.

There was a pile of firewood in the corner of the cabin. Gu Zhi studied it for a moment and quickly lit a fire in front of the fireplace.

Jiang Ziyi squatted beside the fire, her cheeks were warmed, and she looked pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at her.

It’s the first snow already. I have to trick her into giving me a kiss later, Gu Zhi thought secretly.

"Knock knock knock" Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The director and cameraman had all gone into the house, and no one else was passing by.

Gu Zhi and Jiang Ziyi exchanged glances. He looked out through the crack in the door and opened the door with a helpless look.

The little roe deer shook off the snow on his body, pushed aside the man who was blocking his way without any hesitation, dived into Jiang Ziyi's arms, and poked her face with his mouth.

"You want to kiss me secretly, right?" Jiang Ziyi blew it a kiss.

Gu Zhi: ...
