Shen Qianqian looked at the bleak winter wind outside the window through the glass.

Because she was too close to the window, the hot air she exhaled formed a circle of white mist on the window. Then Shen Qianqian reached out her hand mischievously and wrote "Xmas" on it.

Then he reached out and wiped it off.

Suddenly I felt a furry touch on my head, and out of nowhere, a small red Christmas hat appeared on my head.

"Sister, you put it on my head again. I told you it was for cats!!"

Shen Qianqian protested with dissatisfaction and reached out to catch the bad woman who put a little Santa hat on her.

She only grabbed a pair of cold arms, and saw long silver hair floating beside her, a familiar color.

Shen Qianqian quickly turned around with joy, her eyes full of excitement.

"Sister Ning Xuan!"

Seeing the visitor's eyes, as calm as a lake blue, she knew that the misunderstanding she had this time seemed a bit awkward.

But she concealed it well and immediately smiled sweetly again.

"Merry Christmas~~"

But they are so similar.

Ning Xuan gave Shen Qianqian an elegant smile. She was not the type to like playing pranks. She pointed at Shen Yiyue who was peeking out from the kitchen.

"Your sister told me to do that."

She betrayed the mastermind without hesitation.

A white ragdoll cat, wearing a Christmas dress, jumped over with a meow and snuggled into Ning Xuan's arms.

Rubbing her cheek affectionately, Ning Xuan also liked this cat very much. She picked up her snow-white hair and began to tease it.

"Stinky sister, not only do you bully me, you also order others to bully me!"

Shen Qianqian put the little Christmas hat that belonged to the cat back on its head, causing it to scratch its head with its claws, trying to get this strange thing off.

Then Shen Qianqian ran into the kitchen and started stealing the food that had just been prepared, while also messing with her sister.

"Mmm, Zhen Hao Qi (so delicious), my sister's cooking skills have improved!!!"

"If you keep eating secretly, I'll be eaten up by you, get out!!!"

Not long after, Shen Qianqian was carried out by Shen Yiyue and was kicked in the butt.

“Snap!”

The glass door of the kitchen was locked by Shen Yiyue.

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and saw Ning Xuan playing with the cat with a cat toy. She wanted to go over and join her.

“Ding Dong~”

The doorbell suddenly rang. Shen Qianqian was closest to the door, so she immediately gave up the idea and ran over to open the door.

The door has just been opened.

"Hello, Sister Ji. Hahahahahahahahaha."

Shen Qianqian, who wanted to be a "good and polite child", failed in a second.

Wu Di outside the door had a big white beard and was wearing a Santa Claus hat.

His face was full of "I was forced to do this". Ji Mengyao next to him hugged Wu Di's shoulders tightly as if she was a good friend, and stood outside the door with a nonchalant look on her face.

It seems that the strength in his hands is quite strong, and he is threatening Wu Di in a "friendly" way.

She reached out and took the beautifully wrapped gift box from Wu Di's arm and handed it to Shen Qianqian.

"Lai Qianqian, this is a Christmas present for you."

Ning Xuan heard Qianqian's laughter at the door, so she turned her head to look at the door. Seeing Wu Di's funny look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

Although the wind was biting cold outside the window, the house was already filled with hot meals.

"Have you been busy lately?"

Shen Yiyue picked up a handful of vegetables for Shen Qianqian, and then stared at Shen Qianqian who was eating meat with a threatening look that said "don't be picky about food".

"Well, the reconstruction work is actually not that difficult. We have to take our time. And thanks to you for asking those zombies to help, we saved a lot of effort."

Ji Mengyao took off her baseball cap, revealing her beautiful golden hair.

"Have you heard about this guy Lin Hao's "Zombie Bill of Rights"? I really don't understand what he is thinking."

Shen Yiyue and Ning Xuan looked at each other and said:

"Probably for those 'zombies' who have gradually regained consciousness. To be honest, I don't know what to call them."

Everyone was talking at the dinner table, but there was one thing that no one mentioned tacitly.

Ning Xuan caught a glimpse of Shen Yiyue's smiling face while eating, and saw a hint of elusive sadness in her eyes.

She sighed slightly and felt that perhaps she shouldn't have come today.

Let’s just finish eating and leave. It’s getting dark.

After seeing off Ji Mengyao and Wu Di, Ning Xuan turned around and prepared to say goodbye to Shen Yiyue and Shen Qianqian.

"Xiaoxuan, can you talk to me?"

But Ning Xuan didn't expect that Shen Yiyue would actually ask her to stay. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yiyue's expression, pursed her lips and agreed.

In their dim room, there was an old electric piano.

Shen Yiyue walked to the innermost side of the room and opened the window. The cold winter wind blew in and hit Shen Yiyue's face like a knife.

"It's going to snow soon."

Shen Yiyue let out a long sigh, which turned into a cloud of white mist in the air.

"yes."

Ning Xuan stood beside Shen Yiyue, without looking at her, lowered her head and took out a golden pocket watch.

Although the pocket watch is a bit old, it is still ticking.

There was also a photo on the pocket watch. In the photo were two smiling silver-haired girls, one with lake blue eyes and the other with amber eyes.

A snowflake slowly floated in. Shen Yiyue stretched out her fingers to catch it, feeling the crystal clear touch as it gradually melted into water under her body temperature.

White snowflakes began to fall outside the window, decorating the world.

Shen Yiyue's eyes trembled and she said something to herself in an inaudible voice.

"I really want to watch the snow with you, but where are you now?"

She reached out and tried to close the window because it took away too much warmth from the room.

Suddenly, an ethereal melody sounded behind her, a tune she had never heard before.

It’s a very simple melody, but it’s easy to associate it with snowflakes falling outside the window.

In that melody, snowflakes fall drop by drop, then gather on the ground, or melt in someone's palm.

She turned around and asked:

"Xiaoxuan, why are you also learning steel?"

But what she saw was Ning Xuan who was in a daze beside her. She didn't sit next to the old piano and play. She just had her eyes wide open, her whole body trembling, as if she wanted to cry but had no tears.

A familiar figure is reflected in the lake blue eyes.

Something seemed to have struck Shen Yiyue's soul, causing her to look back as if she had been electrocuted.

At some point, the iris symbol on Shen Yiyue's forehead had glowed a faint red, but she herself couldn't see it.

Sitting in front of the old piano was a silver-haired girl in a pure white dress, and next to her was a straight knife decorated with a blood butterfly.

Her lush, white fingers gently fell on the piano keys, playing out the moving melody.

Seeing that Shen Yiyue noticed her, the girl turned around, looked at her with amber eyes, and showed her usual gentle smile.

"I'm back."

"Merry Christmas, Sister Yue, and Xiaoxuan."

Shen Yiyue responded with a tearful smile, which contained emotions that were difficult to conceal.

She still had many questions to ask, 'Where did you go?', 'Why did you keep me waiting for so long?', 'How did you come back?'

But now the tears have blurred her vision, and Shen Yiyue's face is filled with happiness that can no longer be suppressed:

"Welcome back."
