The weather was getting colder, and when the first cold wave hit, it snowed a little.

Su Yi had never seen snow in the small fishing village. When she woke up that morning, she saw a layer of white falling outside the window. She immediately ran out happily, and with her went the golden retriever Mimi, who was wagging her tail wildly.

"Be careful of catching a cold, come back and put on clothes!" Mrs. Qu shouted from inside the house.

So the man and the dog ran back, Su Yi put on the down jacket she had just bought, and Mimi was covered with a Heart brand sweater by Mrs. Qu.

The snow was actually very small, and most of it melted when it fell to the ground. After one night, there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Sue ran around the open space for several laps, leaving footprints in every corner of the garden. She also spent a lot of time collecting the fallen snow on the leaves, car roofs, and window sills, and used chocolate beans as a mouth and jelly beans as a nose to build a palm-sized snowman.

After she was done, she showed it off to Mimi, and then put the little snowman into the refrigerator like a baby amid the expectant howling of the golden retriever.

As the New Year approached, two things happened that seemed small to Sue, but would definitely be big things to others.

The first one was that the school was going to hold a New Year's Eve party. According to tradition, each class in the first year of high school needed to perform a show, and the second and third year students were responsible for watching it.

Last week, the head teacher announced this matter in the class meeting and asked the students who were interested to contact her to sign up. However, a week passed and there was no movement at all. She had to mention it again, but still no one volunteered. She had no choice but to talk to the students.

Su Yi was the first one to be talked to. After all, in the eyes of the teachers of various subjects, she was the most obedient, had the best grades, and was the most capable.

And she really lived up to the expectations. The teacher agreed as soon as he said it, and she supported the whole show by herself.

Su Yi had not planned to participate before. First, she felt that such a party would require singing and dancing, and she could not do any of them. Second, there was no bonus to attract her.

But now that the head teacher specifically mentioned it, she felt that it was a bit indifferent and she decided to participate. Moreover, the teacher said that it could be other projects, such as skits, crosstalk, gymnastics, musical instruments, etc. Su Yi remembered a program she had watched on TV two days ago, and she waved her hand and filled in the words "martial arts performance".

The second thing was that someone was openly pursuing her.

That afternoon after school, she walked out of the school gate, and before she found the Xiao family's car, she was blocked by a boy.

"Are you Xiao Yan's sister?" The boy was tall, with a schoolbag on one shoulder and one hand in his pocket, and his posture was relaxed and casual.

Su Yi stopped and nodded, "Yes."

The other person took a step closer and looked at her with a smile, "I'm Xiao Yan's friend, have you heard of me?"

Among Xiao Yan's friends, Su Yi had only met Han Lu a few times, and had only heard of the names of the others. The man in front of her, although smiling, had a look in his eyes that was not very friendly. His eyes were full of arrogance, as if he could easily dismiss any ordinary person. He didn't look like a friend of Xiao Yan at all. If the two stood together, they would look more like they were ready to fight.

"I haven't heard of you. Do you have something to do with me?" Su Yi looked at him, thinking that if he really came to fight Xiao Yan, she would beat him up first.

No matter what, after eating so much from Xiao Yan, she has become one of her own in her heart. She cannot stand by and watch others bully her people.

Xie Shengkai looked at the girl in front of him with interest. She was pretty, not tall, slender, with a ponytail, and no makeup on her face, looking fresh and clean. It is

hard to believe that Xiao Yan, who is so pretentious, would have such a sister, even though she is a cheap sister.

But it is precisely because she is a cheap sister that he still values ​​her so much, which is more intriguing, isn't it?

He has known Xiao Yan for a long time, and the elders of both sides are good friends, so they have met each other when they were in diapers, but the two did not confront each other.

He knew everything about the Xiao family. He had known for a long time that Xiao Yan had a new sister, but he didn't take it seriously at first. After all, the girl brought by his stepmother was a country girl. What could be so strange about that?

But the result seemed a bit unexpected.

Even he, who didn't usually stay in school, had heard of her fame. When he saw her in person today, she was indeed different from what he expected. Considering how much Xiao Yan valued her, it became interesting.

Xie Shengkai supported his body with the other foot, leaning against the tree trunk next to him, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan didn't mention me to you? That's not right. He and I have been friends for more than ten years. We've known each other since childhood."

Su Yi just said "oh".

The colder she was, the more interested Xie Shengkai became. With one hand in his pocket, he leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Su Yi, and unconsciously bringing her into his circle.

It was after school, and there were many students at the school gate. The two of them had already attracted a lot of attention.

Originally, the two of them were the focus of everyone's attention in the school. Now they were standing together, and they seemed to be very close, which attracted more attention. Many students even stopped to secretly observe them.

Xie Shengkai curled his lips and said, "Although Xiao Yan didn't mention it, I can't pretend not to know. According to the friendship between our two families, I will of course take good care of you. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to find me in the second year of high school and sign up. When you are free, we can go out and play together."

Su Yi said "oh" again. In fact, she was a little impatient. It was time to get out of school and wait to go home for dinner. This guy stopped her and said a lot of things that he didn't believe, with a fake smile, and there was no intention of stopping. If it wasn't for the public now, she would have knocked him out and left him alone.

The world is so big, what is more important than eating?

She was planning to say something to get rid of him, but she saw Xie Shengkai turned his eyes behind her, and she turned around and saw Xiao Yan walking towards her.

From his appearance, it seemed that he had already got on the bus, and saw that she had not come out, so he came to find her.

Su Yi suddenly felt relieved, and she could almost see dinner waving at her.

She raised her foot and walked towards Xiao Yan. As soon as she took a step, her schoolbag was pulled by someone. It turned out that Xie Shengkai hooked her bag strap with his fingers.

Xiao Yan walked up to Su Yi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Su Yi could say anything, Xie Shengkai spoke first, "Let's just chat and ask Su Yi when she is free to go out and play together. You're not coming, are you?"

Xiao Yan still looked at Su Yi. When he saw her shake her head slightly, he looked at Xie Shengkai, "Let's talk about playing later. My family is waiting for us. We'll leave first."

Xie Shengkai's mouth was still smiling . With a smile, "Okay."

Xiao Yan turned around and left with Su Yi. After walking a few steps, Xie Shengkai suddenly raised his voice and said, "Su Yi, remember what I said, I like you very much."

After Xiao Yan came just now, there were more people around who were looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, and some people were whispering about something. Now hearing Xie Shengkai's ambiguous words, several girls exclaimed in a low voice.

Xie Shengkai looked sideways and smiled, and the girls blushed.

"Wait a minute." Su Yi said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and prepared to say something to her.

Seeing the two people stop, Xie Shengkai raised his eyebrows and straightened up.

Su Yi pointed at his neck and said seriously: "There is a big worm on your neck." Then he left.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xie Shengkai's neck, and quickly looked away. For the first time, there was a smile in his eyes, and he left with Su Yi.

Xie Shengkai's face froze, and he then realized that his neck was itching, as if something was crawling towards his face. He reached out and grabbed a big green caterpillar as thick as a finger, which was struggling and twisting in his hand.

The girls who were watching had never seen such a big insect before, and they immediately screamed and ran away, some of them were scared, and some of them were disgusted.

Xie Shengkai had a blank expression on his face. The insect twisted a few times in his hand and gradually stopped moving.

Some people found it strange. Although it was under the tree, it was already winter. Where did the insect crawl out?

No one could figure out this question.

At night, Su Yi went to the living room to pour water. When she was about to return to her room, she heard a slight noise outside the window. She went to the balcony and saw that it was snowing again.

Small and light snowflakes were flying in the dim street lights, like naughty elves in the night sky, slowly falling to the ground and silently turning into water.

Su Yi caught a piece with her hand, but before she could observe it carefully, it melted away.

She exhaled again, and the snow-white air mass was like a small cloud, curling and dissipating.

This is really an interesting world.

She thought so as she looked up at the snow falling like rice grains.

There were footsteps behind her, and soon, Xiao Yan stood beside her.

"Look at that small piece of snowflakes, it looks like popping candy." Su Yi pointed under the street light.

Xiao Yan was used to her using food as a metaphor. After staring at the snow for a while, he actually felt that it did look a bit like a snowman.

He knew that Su Yi had hidden a snowman in the refrigerator. She would take it out from time to time, show it to the golden retriever at home, and then put it back, causing the dog to howl around the refrigerator these days.

Old Mrs. Qu thought it had learned bad habits and wanted to eat the food in the refrigerator, so she said a few words to it, which made the dog feel wronged.

Su Yi was naughty, and she was secretly happy on the side.

Xiao Yan saw everything, of course, he would not speak for Mimi.

He looked at the snow and suddenly asked, "Has Xie Shengkai looked for you before?"

After the two got in the car in the afternoon, he never mentioned the previous events, but not saying anything did not necessarily mean that he did not care.

"You mean the guy you met after school? I don't know him."

Xiao Yan's tense shoulders relaxed a little, and he said, "It's true that there's no need to know him."

"He said he knows you very well, and we've known each other for more than ten years."

"The elders of both families are really nice, but I don't interact with him that much." Xiao Yan said to her with his head tilted, as if to explain.

In fact, not only do we not interact that much, even if we do interact, we're not very friendly.

Since childhood, Xiao Yan has always been indifferent to everyone, while Xie Shengkai is always smiling, but the elders seem to like Xiao Yan more, so Xie Shengkai doesn't like him very much and thinks he's pretending.

When they grew up and went to school, one had good grades, while the other was lazy. The elders loved to compare them. As the one who was compared to the worst, Xie Shengkai was even more upset with Xiao Yan. Although he looked lazy and didn't care, he was actually holding back his anger and wanted to peel off Xiao Yan's pretentious appearance and let people see his true self.

The two of them didn't really have any major grudges, but they just seemed to be incompatible. Even in school, the two of them and their good friends were also two distinct factions.

Xiao Yan originally didn't take Xie Shengkai seriously, and didn't care much even if he was provoked. It wasn't until today when he saw him talking to Su Yi that he felt a nameless fire in his heart, and the flames have never been extinguished.

"No matter what he said to you in the afternoon, you don't have to take it seriously." He said.

Su Yi shrugged, "He said a lot, but I didn't listen carefully."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, frowned and said, "Since he said he likes you a little, he probably won't stop like this. He must have other plans. You have to be on guard."

"Like me?" Su Yi tilted her head, "Is he going to pursue me? I don't have time to fall in love with a child."

She looks like a little girl, but she calls others children.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curl his lips, and the anger in his heart just dissipated.

However...

he looked at Su Yi's profile, and she raised her head and looked at the night sky intently, with full yearning and expectation on her face.

Xiao Yan savored her last words in his heart.

The next day at school, Su Yi was surrounded by girls as soon as she stepped into the classroom.

"Su Yi, I heard that Xie Shengkai, a sophomore, confessed to you yesterday. Is it true?"

"It's Xie Shengkai! He's as famous as your brother in the sophomore class. I heard that he seldom comes to school. He's very mysterious. I haven't seen him a few times yet. How did you get to know him?" "

And it's even at the confession stage. Su Yi, you've done a great job of keeping it a secret!"

"Yes, yes, tell us quickly, are you going to start dating?"

Several people talked at once, and Su Yi finally broke through the siege with great effort and sat in her seat. But before she could sit firmly, she was surrounded by others again.

She had no choice but to say, "We didn't know each other, we didn't confess, we didn't date, that's all."

The girls didn't believe her, "Don't deny it, many people saw it yesterday."

"If we had known, we would have left later, maybe we could have seen that scene."

"I heard that when he confessed, Senior Xiao showed up, and he didn't look too happy to pull you away? God, when can I be treated like this, to have two school handsome guys fighting for me, my life will be perfect!" "

You should wipe your saliva, it's dripping on your shoes."

"What? Don't you want to?"

Several girls looked at each other and started to tease each other again.

"First, you have to be as beautiful as Su Yi."

"Second, you have to have Su Yi's grades."

"Finally, we need a brother like Senior Xiao."

Several people paused and sighed in unison: "We don't have any, so we're just dreaming." They

sang in unison, making Su Yi laugh and cry, "It's really not what you think. He and my brother know each other. I met him for the first time yesterday, and I don't know why he said such misleading words in front of so many people."

After hearing her say this, Zhang Jiajia and others finally calmed down and looked at each other. Fang Yingying thought of What? She frowned and said, "I've heard from others before that the two school idols in the second year of high school, Xie Shengkai and Xiao Xuechang, don't have a good relationship."

Another girl touched her chin, "That's normal. They are both so handsome, but Xie Shengkai is handsome in a bad way. You don't know. When he smiles, I blush. Xiao Xuechang is different. He never smiles. He is like a flower on a mountain. You can only admire it from a distance and not desecrate it. I can't even imagine him smiling. They don't look like the same kind of people."

"Not only that, I heard that they have known each other since childhood, and they have never had a good relationship."

"Huh, their relationship is quite deep."

"Wait... why do I feel something is wrong the more you talk? Look, Xie Shengkai and Senior Xiao have known each other since childhood, but they have a bad relationship. Su Yi met Xie Shengkai for the first time yesterday, and everything was fine at first, but when Senior Xiao showed up, Xie Shengkai suddenly said something that was misunderstood..."

Su Yi nodded and thought to herself, not bad, not bad, you guessed it right, that guy looks bad, he just wants to find fault with Xiao Yan, it's not unfair at all that the worm was given to him yesterday.

She was nodding her head when someone suddenly slapped the table. "He must like Senior Xiao and deliberately wants to attract his attention. This is a love-hate relationship!"

The girls suddenly realized.

Su Yi was still confused. Just as she was about to ask you what to say, she was hugged by someone. "Oh my God, poor Su Yi, being used as cannon fodder by a scumbag, it's too much!" "

That's right, what a shitty school hunk, I will never be his fan again!"

"I curse him to never get Senior Xiao's heart in his life, scumbag!"

Several people were filled with righteous indignation, turned around and hugged Su Yi with a look of pity.

Su Yi was squeezed by them and couldn't breathe. It was difficult to struggle.

So... what are you talking about?

Well, so soft.
