After that day, Yan Minglang seemed to have completely evaporated from the world, and I never saw him again.

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye. On Christmas morning, I slept until I woke up naturally as usual. When I walked by the window, my eyes widened in surprise.

The snowflakes outside the window are definitely the most amazing scenery for me who lived in Melbourne without snow since I was a child. I almost jumped to the window.

Heavy snow covered all the buildings. Looking around, the city covered in silver seems to have become a city of ice and snow. The rare scenery made me very excited. I took a few photos and sent them to Eric, and then admired Standing by the window, I watched the snow scene for a long time.

I didn't leave the window reluctantly until my stomach was rumbling, and I looked at my watch, it was already noon.

If you open a store today, the business will definitely be very good.Although there are many college students playing crazy, there is no shortage of young people with petty bourgeois literary style.

But I suddenly didn't want to go to the bookstore.

I filled my stomach, put on a thick long down jacket, a woolen hat and gloves, and wrapped a scarf around my neck, then took my mobile phone and wallet and went out happily.

I'm still not used to driving in this city, but I can already take all kinds of transportation and go to any place on the map.What's more, in such weather, driving is by no means a wise choice.

There is a subway exit just outside the community. I got on the subway and got off at a station with a nice name.

Came to the ground, or overwhelming snow.

I was walking on the road, surrounded by people in pairs, and I was alone, but I didn't have time to feel lonely. The excitement of being in contact with the snow completely covered up the desolation in my heart.

I didn't open an umbrella, my clothes and hat were full of snow particles, and even my exposed bangs and eyelashes were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

If it is normal, some people may think that I have a brain problem, but on such a day, walking in the snow is a kind of romance and is allowed.

I walked around excitedly for a long time, until Davis called me.

"Shaw, why hasn't the store opened yet?" he asked me.

"Isn't today Christmas," I said, "I want to give myself a vacation too."

"Okay, okay, are you with Mr. Yan now?"

I took a few snowflakes in my hand, and watched them melt away quickly, feeling a little disappointed.But I didn't show it, and said lightly: "No, I'm alone."

Davis cheered up: "Where are you? How about I come to you."

After walking aimlessly for a long time, I didn't know where I was, so I sent the location to Davis.

On the square, a group of boys were laughing and having a snowball fight. I took off my gloves and squatted by the flower bed to build a snowman.

I really don't have any artistic skills, and the snowmen I piled up are crooked and have no aesthetic feeling at all.A few twelve- and thirteen-year-old girls came over, stood by and watched for a while, and at some point they also joined the ranks of making snowmen.

A girl collected a lot of snow for me by using a coffee cup as a shovel.I smiled gratefully at her and said "Thank you" in Chinese with poor pronunciation.

She looked at me and said, "Brother, you look so beautiful when you smile."

I corrected her: "You should say handsome to your brother, you know?"

She shook her head: "No, it's beauty."

I shrugged helplessly.

"Brother is a foreigner, right?"

"Yes."

"Do foreigners also celebrate Christmas?"

"Of course, in our place, Christmas is a legal holiday. You know, it's summer in our place now."

"Really?" She looked at me with innocent eyes blinking, "That brother must have come from a far away country."

I nodded: "Australia, do you know?"

"I know, we have learned it before," she thought for a while, and said, "Then you have to cross half the world to come here. Why did brother come to such a far place? To work?"

I smiled, looked at my frozen red fingers, and said after a long time: "For one person, one promise."

"Girlfriend?"

I smiled and didn't answer.

She seemed to understand something, and she didn't seem to understand. She looked at me in a daze for a while, and then asked, "Where is my brother's family, are they still in Australia?"

I nodded.Well, even though they're all gone.

She hugged her legs and put her chin on her knees. After a while, she said, "My brother must be very lonely."

The sudden gust of wind blew up snow all over the sky, and even the snowflakes on the ground were swept into the wind.My body was stiff, and the cold feeling passed from my fingertips to my heart.

The girls were quickly taken away by their parents. I looked at the snowman who had been swept away by the wind and couldn't recognize its original appearance. I was at a loss and had no choice but to stand up.

After squatting for too long, my legs became numb. I staggered and nearly fell over.

A hand held me firmly.

I turned around, and there was a tall man standing behind me. I raised my eyes, and a pair of dark and deep eyes were close at hand, as if there was a familiar expression flashing past.

I turned around and took a step back.

Chen Jin let go of my arm, and at the same time turned away his gaze.

Davis patted the thick layer of snow on my body, laughed and said: "What are you doing, if you are not the only short guy nearby, I almost wouldn't recognize you, I thought someone made a snowman!"

I smiled, lowered my head and shook my head, and sure enough, a pile of snow fell down rustlingly.

"Because it's the first time I saw snow." I explained embarrassedly.

He nodded: "Well, in fact, I am not much better. In the first year when I came to country Z, when I encountered the first snow, I just rolled in the snow and couldn't get up. Finally, my mother dragged me back. At home, I had a high fever at night."

I relaxed and laughed.

"You see your clothes are soaked, you should find a place to dry yourself first, or you will catch a cold."

"Go to my house," Chen Jin said, "I'll be there in 10 minutes."

I wanted to say no, but Davis had already complied and dragged me into the car.

The home Chen Jin mentioned was his own apartment.

Because the underfloor heating was installed, it warmed up as soon as I entered the house. I stood in the porch and took off my coat, only to find that not only the coat, but also the sweater inside was damp.

Chen Jin searched for a long time but couldn't find any suitable clothes for me to change into, so he drove out and bought a set and came back.

Davis insisted that I take a hot shower.The winter in this city is much colder than Melbourne, not to mention that it is still snowing today, he is afraid that I will have a fever.

I had no choice but to go into the bathroom. I didn’t know how cold I was until the hot water poured down from the top of my head. Although it’s easier to take a hot bath to relieve the coldness of my body, but after all, it’s someone else’s house. Trembling, he wiped himself clean with the changed clothes.

I asked Chen Jin for a bag to put the wet clothes in, and he asked me to put it there, saying that he would wash it for me, but I pretended not to hear.

Chen Jin brought me a cup of ginger tea, and Davis said that he made it for me specially.

I bowed my head and said "thank you".

Davis looked at me, then at Chen Jin, and shrugged helplessly.

"Today's snow is too heavy," Davis rested his chin and looked out the window at the snow that was still fluttering and falling. "It's better not to go out. I saw several traffic accidents on the road."

Chen Jin took a lot of snacks and drinks and put them on the table, then asked, "What do you want to play? Do you want to watch a movie? Or play games together? Or play board games?"

I'm not commenting, watching Davis.

In the end the two decided to play a board game.

Chen Jin brought out a box, which contained many board game props.There are many multiplayer games, and the three of us couldn't play, so we chose a game called Tiles Story.

The first time I played, I lost more than I won, and Davis and Chen Jin were evenly divided.

Later, I changed a few games and played until evening, and the snow outside was still falling.

By the time we realized it had been snowing for too long, city traffic was paralyzed. Davis called home, and when he came back, he asked me, "Should I stay here today?" Seeing my hesitant expression, he asked again, "Is it inconvenient? How about...let me talk for you?"

He didn't know that Yan Minglang and I hadn't seen each other for a long time.

I just don't want to spend the night here with Chen Jin, but the subway station is already packed, and I can't go back even if I want to. I just want to cause trouble for Davis if I insist on going back.

None of the three of us can cook, and we couldn't order food, so we cooked instant noodles.

The three cooked eight packs of instant noodles. I was not full, and I was not ashamed to say so. I just took a few extra glances when Chen Jin took away the porcelain basin with only soup left.

He paused and asked me, "Aren't you full?"

I quickly looked away, my cheeks flushed slightly.

Davis laughed: "Hey, if you're not full, you're not full. What's so embarrassing? But how can you eat so well, no wonder you've gained a lot of weight recently."

I said stiffly: "No, I'm full."

Chen Jin glanced at me and walked into the kitchen.I heard the sound of the range hood being turned on.

I turned to Davis and said, "I'm really full."

He tidied up the dishes and went into the kitchen noncommittally.

Chen Jin fried two eggs and two sausages for me. I said "no" and took the bowl involuntarily. I didn't react until my teeth were already biting down on the sausages.

There is only one bedroom in Chen Jin's house, and the bed is big enough for him and Davis to sleep together, while I sleep on the sofa in the living room.

In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly. In a daze, I felt something soft on my lips. I subconsciously raised my hand to touch my mouth, but my hand hit something hard.

A sharp pain in the bones of my hand made me open my eyes instantly. A shadow retreated hastily in front of my eyes. I blinked and saw a figure stumbled over something in a panic and fell to the floor.

I sit up.

There were no curtains on the windows in the living room, and although it was night, everything could be seen clearly with the faint light.

Chen Jin sat on the floor, his slender eyes opened wide.

I touched my lips blankly.A thought flashed through my mind, my sleepy eyes suddenly widened, and I looked at Chen Jin in disbelief.

what happened?

why did he kiss me

Doesn't he hate me?Doesn't he like Lan Qing?

What does it mean?

My brain was running wild in this weird situation, but I couldn't figure out how he could secretly kiss me while I was asleep.

Or rather, I dare not think.
