The voice was soft and trembling.

That is the sadness created by the past.

Don't dare to face it, don't want to see it.

After the witch's first opposition, Xu Xi saw the witch's first disgust in the real world.

What I hate is "white hair", which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"It's okay, Krisha, it's just some snow." The warm and broad palms gently stroked the witch's head, soothing her uneasy heart.

Xu Xi's voice was soft and gentle.

The wounds of the soul can only be healed slowly with the thin threads of care.

Xu Xi understood.

In the second simulation, he died of old age in front of the witch, which brought a great psychological shock to the witch, and it has affected her to this day.

That missing void.

In fact, after reuniting with Xu Xi, most of the repairs had been made.

However, the witch was still terrified of such scenes, and reacted subconsciously when she saw it, leading to the previous situation.

"Don't worry, I'm here, always here..."

He ran his hands through her long, grey-silver hair.

With each caress, the witch's expression gradually calmed down, and her eyes returned to the emptiness that Xu Xi was familiar with.

"I'm sorry, Mentor..."

Krisa lowered her head, almost buried it in her chest, and the dullness in her eyes was clearly visible.

She felt that she had brought trouble to Xu Xi.

Although for Xu Xi, this so-called trouble was very minor and not even something worth talking about.

But the witch thinks.

Being an object and affecting its owner is an unforgivable mistake in itself.

"There's no need to apologize to me, Krisha, you didn't do anything wrong." The wind and snow stopped, the world was quiet, and only Xu Xi's voice echoed.

"But I..."

"You've done a great job, haven't you? You've been trying hard to think of me."

The voice with warmth and kindness dispels the winter chill and blows away the anxiety in the witch's heart.

"Let's go, let's go home." Xu Xi took Krisa's hand, grasped her slender and trembling fingers, wrapped them gently, and led the dazed witch on the way home.

Without the influence of Krisha's supreme power.

Not long.

On the way home, fine snow was falling again.

This time, the clever witch learned how to take precautions. An invisible space barrier enveloped the air, swallowing up all the snowflakes that fell overhead.

What echoed in my ears was the doubtful voices of the passers-by.

"This snow is so weird."

"Yes, it stops suddenly, it goes off suddenly, it's harder to understand than a woman's heart."

"Let's go, let's go faster, or it will get bigger again."

Urgent sound, urgent sound.

People who were worried that the snowstorm would get stronger again quickened their pace and rushed towards their respective destinations, with some even running wildly in the snow.

The figures of Xu Xi and the witch were inconspicuous in the crowd. They walked side by side with slow steps, leaving even shoe marks on the road.

"Yanshan City in winter is quite interesting."

Walking.

Xu Xi looked at both sides of the street.

The city has its own unique beauty in winter. The sky and the earth are white, and the snow-covered world is lit up by sparks.

It was the light in the cold night, illuminating the street warmly.

It was the sound of a silent whistle, rumbling and shaking away the snow.

In the silence and whiteness, people rushing around to stock up for the New Year add the last piece of the winter map, which is the noise called "people".

"What's wrong, Krisa?"

Turn an intersection.

There is still some distance from the courtyard.

Xu Xi paused, not because he wanted to do something, but because the witch who was traveling with him suddenly stopped and looked towards a shop on the street.

Following the witch's line of sight.

Maybe I saw a hat shop.

In the cold winter, the hat shop with little business seems even more empty, desolate and quiet, with few passers-by going in.

But the hats displayed at the door of the store are quite novel and interesting.

A quick look at the shop reveals that there are not only traditional hat styles, but also some "middle school hats" specially made to cater to young people.

Or the shape is weird and funny.

Or pair it with something extraordinary to look cool.

Or it could be a hat worn by a character in a game or an anime.

What the witch was looking at were those strange-looking "Chuuni Hats".

Her eyes scanned left and right with confusion and bewilderment, and finally stopped on a triangular hat.

Maybe he recognized that hat.

"A Western-style witch hat?"

Xu Xi was thoughtful. Krisha, who had achieved the highest level, could easily understand the nature of any object when she saw it.

I guess that's why.

As a witch, Krisa would be attracted by the witch hats in the hat shop.

Although the witches represented by the two are not the same.

"Krisha, do you want to wear it?"

The snowflakes flying in the sky are like butterflies out of control.

Mixed with the sound of the wind, it makes the world noisy.

In response to Xu Xi's question, Krisa nodded first, then shook her head.

"Mentor, I don't need it."

The witch told her true thoughts: she was just curious about the hat, but didn't really want it, so there was no need to waste time on it.

"Try it, maybe you'll like it."

Xu Xi said with a smile, there are not many things that can arouse Chrisa's interest.

He looked at the confused and hesitant witch.

Walk towards the hat shop.

As the store owner enthusiastically introduced the store, Xu Xi took off the triangular witch hat, looked up and down with both hands, and finally looked at Krishna's head.

"Krisha, give it a try?"

"……good."

The witch seems to be really interested in the hat.

When Xu Xi holds the hat, the witch's eyes will follow its movements.

"Krisha, lower your head."

Krisa was very obedient and lowered her head in a naive manner. Xu Xi then gently placed the large witch hat on the girl's head.

This particular hat is enormous.

Much larger than an ordinary hat.

The triangular round eaves design makes the building feel heavier.

But I have to say, this triangular witch hat looks very suitable for a witch with gray-silver hair.

"…Teacher?"

In the silent world of snow and wind, Krisha stood there, wearing a black and white dress and a light black witch hat, with a delicate yet confused look on her face.

She doesn't know.

Myself at this moment.

Whether it looked good or not, the girl cared about what Xu Xi thought.

"Chrisa, can you turn around on the spot?" Xu Xi watched and thought the front effect was good, but he didn't know what it would look like from other angles.

So, maybe the plan is to let Chrisa turn around.

"...Yes, Master."

The witch nodded.

She found that the long dress made it difficult to move.

So, the witch lifted her dress with one hand, pressed down the wide brim of her hat with the other hand, stood in the flying snow and turned around to show her full appearance to Xu Xi.
