Chapter 21 Where Did the Snow Go?

Ning Changyue did not dial the phone number belonging to her mother.

The note was placed in the utility cabinet at the entrance and never saw the light of day again.

He didn't mention it, and Yin Jiu didn't mention it either.

In late autumn, in November, the temperature in the south city began to drop sharply.

The temperature outside dropped by ten degrees. Ning Changyue, who was restless at home, suddenly became well-behaved and became reluctant to go out.

He seldom went out during the day, and only when Yin Jiu finished class would he ask the driver, Lao Li, to take him to Yin Jiu's school.

I do get up early every day, not for any other reason, just waiting for that good morning kiss.

Although he wanted to stick to Yin Jiu every day, he would never take the initiative in intimate behavior.

He would only toss and turn in Yin Jiu's arms when he fell asleep, touching this and smelling that, until Yin Jiu couldn't stand his teasing anymore and pinned him down and beat him up, and then he would calm down.

But within two days, the solid state emerged again.

At first, Yin Jiu thought that he was just not being honest in his sleep, but gradually he realized that this little arrogant boy was seeking pleasure in this way.

Every day when he sent Yin Jiu out, he would just watch quietly without saying anything, waiting for Yin Jiu to take him to the cupboard and give him a deep kiss that would penetrate him deeply.

If he forgets one day, he will be in a bad mood all day.

This awkward situation of wanting something but not saying it makes Yin Jiu angry every day.

Before this, Yin Jiu had never thought that someone could be born so pleasing to the eye.

But no matter how they like it, in order to avoid being weak and frail, they rarely stay at home on weekends.

Yin Jiu is not an interesting person. Most of the time he stays at home and does not have much passion and pursuit. However, for Ning Changyue, he can become the person who illuminates each other.

So during his rest time, Yin Jiu would take Ning Changyue to various entertainment venues, go to art exhibitions, go to concerts, experience various handicrafts, watch the latest movies, and play some popular games that young people like nowadays.

Fill your schedule to make your life more fulfilling.

Of course, Yin Jiu did not forget to pay attention to Ning Changyue's preferences, but in the end he found that he seemed to be interested in everything, but had no interest in understanding anything further.

Yin Jiu once told Ning Changyue that life is long and one has to try everything to see what one likes.

Because in Yin Jiu's view, a soul without support is like a castle in the sky and will collapse easily.

But this point does not seem to apply to Ning Changyue. He is not good at anything and does not have any special interests or hobbies, but he does not find life boring.

He could sit in the rocking chair all day, doing nothing, looking at the scenery outside the window, then take a nap, and wake up to continue looking at the scenery.

Not dull or boring, but rather pleasant.

Eventually, Yin Jiu felt relieved and no longer thought about letting him learn some special skills or develop some hobbies.

After all, no one stipulates that people must know something.

As long as he is happy.

In addition, Yin Jiu discovered that Ning Changyue had no concept of money, or rather, Ning Changyue had a vague idea of ​​the boundaries of money.

Just like before, he lived in Yin Jiu's house and all daily expenses were paid by Yin Jiu, but he did not feel uncomfortable.

Later, his aunt handed over his father's inheritance to him. He just passed the passbook over that night. Afterwards, Yin Jiu asked him to use it to help him with investment and financial management. He just agreed without caring and never asked about it again.

It seemed that in his eyes, Yin Jiu's things belonged to him, and his things also belonged to Yin Jiu. This was not something worth thinking about.

It was Yin Jiu who went to a financial institution to get a notarized power of attorney. It was not because he was afraid that there would be financial disputes between the two in the future. After all, they would never break up in this life. He just felt that he had to give the child a little more sense of security. Even if that person was himself, Yin Jiu hoped that Ning Changyue could have more confidence and not have to look at his face.

So for a long time afterwards, Yin Jiu worked for Ning Changyue for free.

Sometimes, when I am organizing data in front of the computer at night and feel a headache from the data, I turn my head and see someone curled up in a rocking chair, covered with a thick blanket, taking a comfortable nap.

Yin Jiu would also tease him deliberately: "Little sponsor, I work so hard for you, don't you think I should be given some extra rewards?"

Unfortunately, Ning Changyue has no romantic heart and is quite uninterested. She is unable to receive the ambiguous signals from Yin Jiu and continues to lie there lazily.

After being together for such a long time, Yin Jiu gradually discovered that Ning Changyue's aesthetic taste was a little abnormal. He didn't think anyone was good-looking, nor did he understand the charm of a good figure.

In his eyes, the six-pack abs that Yin Jiu spent a lot of time training might not be as attractive as a plate of braised spareribs.

Then Yin Jiu began to wonder, if his affection for her wasn't due to her appearance, then was it due to her personality and style of doing things?

Come to think of it, Yin Jiu had a pretty bad attitude towards Ning Changyue at the beginning. He kept ignoring him. Even when they met for the first time in the elevator, Yin Jiu didn't even bother to look at him.

Maybe people in love like to dig deep. After being intimate one day, Yin Jiu hugged Ning Changyue and asked this question: "Baby, why did you pay attention to me in the first place?"

Ning Changyue was almost falling asleep after being tortured by him. She leaned on his shoulder and whispered softly, "Because it's you."

What kind of answer is this?

However, this answer was quite fatalistic. Yin Jiu joked, "Wasn't that the first time we met in the elevator that day? Why do I feel like you knew me before?"

It can't be that I have been following him before, right?

It's not impossible. After all, he and Li Xinzhu were classmates, and Ning Changyue was Li Xinzhu's cousin who lived under the same roof. Maybe she had met him before without Yin Jiu knowing, and developed a good impression of him.

Ning Changyue didn't answer, he fell asleep.

Time passed quickly and the weather became colder.

One night in early December, it snowed in South City.

The snowflakes were not big, and they made a slight rustling sound when they fell on the glass windows.

The heater was on in the house, making it as warm as spring, while the white noise of the falling snow outside sounded particularly atmospheric.

Ning Changyue pushed open the glass door of the balcony and walked out barefoot. She shivered when the cold wind blew, but she was still in high spirits.

When Yin Jiu chased him out, he looked back with bright eyes, and smiled in front of Yin Jiu, which was rare, and said with a somewhat excited tone: "Yin Jiu, it's snowing."

Yin Jiu paused for a moment before saying, "Well, it's snowing, but if you want to see the snow, you can't go without shoes, you know."

After giving him a mild admonishment, Yin Jiu bent down and placed a pair of plush slippers at his feet. After he put them on, he shook out the blanket in his hand and wrapped them both in it.

Ning Changyue's back was pressed against Yin Jiu's chest, leaning closely against him, her eyes fixed on the endless darkness.

In Yin Jiu's opinion, there was nothing good to see. The snowflakes were too small and would melt as soon as they landed on his hands. It was more like a freezing rain mixed with slush. The night in early winter was inky black and pitch black. Every breath he inhaled into his lungs brought a piercing, wet and cold pain.

But Ning Changyue seemed to like snow very much, so Yin Jiu did not spoil his interest and watched it with him for a long time, until both of their faces were frozen stiff, and then they returned to the house.

Ning Changyue probably really liked snow. She got up early the next day, put on thick cotton pajamas, and ran to the balcony again.

But to his disappointment, the world outside was not as white and snowy as he remembered.

Yin Jiu leaned against the glass door and said helplessly, "I wanted to tell you yesterday that there won't be a heavy snowfall in South City for decades, so it's unlikely that there will be accumulation of snow."

Ning Changyue looked a little confused, as if she was still struggling with where the snow outside had gone. Upon hearing this, she said blankly, "I forgot."

He looked extremely lost, as if he was suddenly awakened from a beautiful dream.

Yin Jiu's heart softened when he saw this. He pulled him into his arms, rested his chin on his collarbone, and coaxed him softly: "Don't be sad. If you want to see snow so much, let's go to the northern snow city for a few days during the New Year's Day holiday and let you experience the world of ice and snow."

After getting his promise, Ning Changyue didn't feel so lost anymore.

After kissing him on the face, Yin Jiu felt a little funny. He realized that Ning Changyue's memory was sometimes good and sometimes bad. He would always make mistakes with common sense things, but he could remember every word Yin Jiu said clearly.

So, I promised to take him to see the snow, and I can’t go back on my word.

Afraid he would cry.
