Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

It's one thing to talk to each other across the air in the forest, but it's another to actually be together face to face and become companions.

At this moment, the same little expectation and nervousness lingered in the hearts of both of them, and no one dared to take that step first.

The Snow Girl put her hands behind her back and followed Chen Xi step by step, looking at the back of his head with slightly messy hair facing the wind.

How often have such scenes been played out over and over again in my mind and in my dreams?

Following in the footsteps of her predecessors, the small throbbing in her heart gradually took root and sprouted. The more she suppressed it, the more it grew. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, the Snow Girl leaped onto Chen Xi's back.

"!"

She put her head into the back of his neck and took in the soothing scent of him.

The sudden physical contact shattered the boy's mental defenses that he had worked so hard to build. He hurriedly supported the snow girl's body to prevent her from sliding off his back.

"What...what happened?"

The last time I had such a close contact was with Arcana...

Chen Xi's heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably because he hadn't felt the body temperature of another person for a long time, and even his voice trembled a little.

"No."

Sticking tightly to Chen Xi's body, the Snow Girl's voice began to have a hint of crying.

"Chen Xi..."

"Thank you."

A word of thanks is not only for what has happened recently, but also for the incredible companionship that transcends time and space.

"Hehe~ What's there to thank for?"

Reaching out and touching the little head hanging on his shoulder, Chen Xi smiled easily for the first time in a long time.

But now, he still doesn't know what kind of emotion is contained in this simple thank you, nor does he know how many stories about himself are waiting to be realized in the girl on his back.

"Chenxi."

"Ok?"

"Can you accompany me home?"

"Hahaha, what's wrong? Are you homesick right after leaving home?"

"That's not true!"

The girl who was clinging to Chen Xi's back and didn't want to leave pinched his face pretending to be angry.

"I want to go home and get something, something very important."

Her arms gradually wrapped around Chen Xi's neck, and Xue Nu's cheek also pressed against him. She calmed the red mark on Chen Xi's face that she had pinched, but in return she got a mischievous pinch on his face.

"Chen Xi!"

"Alright, alright~ Come down, I just woke up not long ago, I'll play with you when I recover."

Putting the Snow Girl down, Chen Xi's fingertips flashed with emerald green light, and touched her soft little face. Although there was no need for treatment, why should he miss such an opportunity to feel the touch of her face openly?

"I always feel like you were bullying me just now!"

"No, you're overthinking it."

Although he said this, Chen Xi was thinking in his heart: Hey, this is just the beginning, there is still a lot of time to come~ Don't let me bully you to tears~

Realizing Chen Xi's ill intentions, Xue Nu wanted to say something, but Chen Xi had already grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.

"Let's go, let's go, don't we need to get something? If we don't hurry, it will be dark soon."

"Slow down! It's too fast and I can't keep up!!!"

While laughing and joking, the two returned to the place they had just left. Without disturbing anyone, they slipped to the altar snow girl's room.

"Let's go."

Following the Snow Girl, he was about to enter the room, but was greeted by a heavy door slamming shut. Although the Snow Girl's voice was not very clear, he could still hear the pride in her tone.

"You want to see my room? You wish! Just stay outside, you bad guy who only knows how to bully me!"

Chen Xi touched the tip of his nose that was hurt in confusion, and was a little angry and laughed.

"This little girl."

With a chuckle, Chen Xi squatted down and took out the card. He planned to take this opportunity to check the update of the card without caring about anything.

……

Close the door, and now the time belongs to you.

"I'm leaving now."

I walked quietly to the window, reached out and gently stroked the face that had watched over me for almost my entire childhood, and beautiful dreams and past imaginations gradually emerged in my mind.

"I really have to leave."

Even though she knew there would be no response, the Snow Girl still took a deep breath and hugged him.

"with you."

Loosening her grip slightly, the Snow Girl took one last look at the statue before her and kissed it.

"Goodbye."

The moment the words came out, the statue shattered.

Logically speaking, whether it was imagination or dreams, memories would easily fade away with time. But the strange thing was that ever since these memories appeared in my mind, I could no longer forget them.

That feeling of reality that seems to be within reach...as if I had really experienced all of that.

Catching the falling pocket watch with her right hand and placing the skull on the table with her left hand, the Snow Girl pushed open the door.

"Chenxi, let's go!"

The two little ones slipped out of the altar again and really started their journey.

But not long after they left, the patriarch came to the Snow Girl's room, looked at the ice crystal fragments gradually dissipating on the ground, stroked the skull on the table, and muttered to himself:

"I hope you can remember to come back and see us, my child..."

On the other side, the edge of the forest

Perhaps because there was a new companion, the card's restrictions on clothing were lifted.

Chen Xi can freely take out the costumes of 9 characters, including daily and skin ones, and even a set of clothes of the same style as Veldin. The introduction column even mysteriously says: Si Chen's suit.

Not yet bored to that point, Chen Xi took out the clothes he wore when he first came to this world and put them on. Then he searched for clothes suitable for the Snow Girl.

Considering the weather and the subsequent itinerary, Chen Xi chose a light green dress made of lead glass for the snow girl to wear.

As he expected, it was quite suitable and cute, and the girl's innocence and charm were perfectly highlighted!

However, compared to the clothes handed to her by Chen Xi, Xue Nu was obviously more interested in the card in his hand.

"Chenxi Chenxi, what are you holding in your hand? When I opened the door earlier, I saw you holding this thing in your hand. It looked very magical."

"This... is my privilege, I guess. By the way, is there any information about you here that you'd like to see?"

"Want to see!"

He smiled and brought up the Snow Girl's panel and looked at it with her.

【Character name】Anya

[Gender] Female

[Race] Mystic

【Birthday】December 6

[Mysticism] Ice and Snow

"Anya?"

The Snow Girl pronounced the name with some confusion.

"That's your name. Everyone recognized by the card will be given a name by the card. From now on, you are my family."

"My name? I have a name now!"

The moment Snow Girl, oh no, it was Anya who digested the news, she excitedly threw herself on Chen Xi and hugged him tightly.

"Hey, be gentle, you almost pounced on me."

Anya ignored all this and continued to snuggle up to Chen Xi.

But even such an intimate scene made someone unable to bear it. The sword on his waist fell to the ground with a clang without even having the chance to react.

"Ah!!! Let go of the master!"
