Small Snowflakes and Big Ice Cubes

After Xiao Xuehua came forward to fight the injustice, the team leader who faced the justice accusation was really guilty (x), and the whole person was as quiet as a chicken.

On the contrary, Mr. Big Ice Cube, who is the master of suffering, said slowly in a low voice: "It's okay...I'm used to this level."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuehua blinked and looked at him with a trace of sympathy.

——It seems that this guy is a poor bastard who is often bullied. No wonder he didn't complain about being dumped by him just now... But it's rare to be able to maintain such a strong and optimistic mentality!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuehua stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and smoothed the long hair with the way of stroking the cat, trying to express a kind of silent encouragement.

During the whole process, the other party didn't hide or evade, just stood there quietly and docilely, and when the young man reached out to stroke his hair, he even lowered his head slightly to make it easier for him to move.

At the same time, the team leader a few meters away saw the picture in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and his expression distorted.

Feeling more and more restless, he finally choked out a sentence: "Since... there is nothing else here, I will retreat and leave first."

During the speech, he even completely forgot the original intention of teaching Xiaoxuehua a lesson.

Xiaoxuehua was startled when she heard this, and when she followed her voice, she saw that the opponent's figure had already gone a long way, and her speed was actually a bit faster than when she came.

"..."

Although he felt a little baffled by the fact that he escaped being criticized, when he came back to his senses, he showed some dissatisfaction on his face, and whispered a few words angrily: "What, not even an apology, the captain is amazing Ah...it really crushes people to death!"

The people beside him watched his fingers move away from their own hair, and there was a faint hint of regret in their eyes, but they didn't say much, just nodded slightly:

"Well, we don't learn from him."

******

He ran non-stop for a distance of several streets, until he was sure that he was out of sight of two cold eyes, Mr. Captain stopped at the corner of an alley, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

But after the shock passed, the majesty as the captain also returned.At this time, he thought of something, his expression sank, he took out the communicator, and sent a cordial condolence to a certain channel:

"How does your communication group do things? Do you raise a bunch of salted fish for dry rice? The ice envoy came in person, but no one reported it?"

The person on duty in the communication team at the other end was scolded bloody as soon as he got through to the message. After finally recovering from his bewildered state, he realized the message he heard in his ears, and he didn't even think about going underground right now. Conscious denial:

"How is it possible! Why did that person come to City C?"

"..."

After pausing for several seconds, there was no sign of a reversal, so he had to cautiously ask back: "Isn't it... is it true or not?"

The team leader smiled all over his face: "I just saw him with my own eyes a minute ago, do you think it's true or not?"

After getting a definite positive answer, the other party gasped slightly, still feeling unbelievable: "It doesn't make sense? We haven't received any news from here at all...Did you ask him what he came for?"

Hearing this question, the captain's sonorous and accusing tone froze slightly, he cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little dry:

"Then what... I accidentally had a misunderstanding, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff when we met... I slipped away without asking."

"Not by chance? What was he doing when you met him?"

"..."

Regarding this question, Comrade Captain paused for a longer period of time, and finally looked at the sky with a blank expression on his face, and spoke in a deep tone as if answering a profound and difficult philosophical question:

"If you read correctly, it seems to be picking up girls."

"..."

******

On the top of the church in the other side, after the team leader came and went in a hurry, the two people who stayed there finally formally introduced themselves to each other.

Only then did Little Snow Flower realize that this big ice cube was also a snow boy, and that she appeared here at night in order to prepare to take over the snowfall work during the day after she got off work in the early morning of tomorrow.

... Tomorrow's daytime shift, I will come to report this evening. Should I say that this big brother is too honest, honest or too honest?

But realizing another problem, Xiao Xuehua didn't bother to complain about the other party, and complained with a wrinkled face: "Oh, hello! What's going on with this broken city? Today I want to stay all night, and tomorrow I want you to continue." It’s snowing? Snow can’t be eaten as a meal, so why do people keep letting it fall every day!”

Seeing his righteous indignation, Mr. Big Ice Cube pondered for a few seconds: "...This area has constant cold waves all year round, and the occasional lack of snow should not have any impact."

"Yes, yes!" Before he could finish his sentence, Little Snowflake rushed up excitedly, with a pair of black eyes shining, like a cat that smells fishy.

"..."

It wasn't until he looked at the silver eyes with a faint smile behind the mask that the boy realized that his reaction seemed to be a little too positive... He cleared his throat, and put on an expression of indifference and ambition as if nothing had happened:

"Well, the truth is this, but the work arrangement is determined by the captain. If he doesn't let go, we have nothing to do."

——To put it bluntly, it was the captain's fault, damn it!

Hearing this, Big Ice Cube turned his head to look in the direction where the previous team leader disappeared, his face was hidden behind the mask, and there was only a trace of imperceptible unfathomable meaning in his whisper: "Don't worry about him... ... At least tonight, he won't be coming back."

Xiaoxuehua didn't notice the strange tone in his tone, she just looked puzzled: "Why? If he finds out that I'm still slacking off, how could he let me go so easily?"

The other party turned his eyes back, and his voice softened again: "After all, he is responsible for supervising the entire huge city C. There are more than tens of millions of streets like this. If every area is carefully inspected back and forth, let alone one night. , Even giving him a whole day is not enough. What's more, he also needs to sleep and rest."

Seeing that the young man seemed to be moved, but he was still a little hesitant, he thought for a while and added: "You may not understand it on the first day, the work pressure in City C is too high, and it is very difficult for the snow boys to cut corners when the snow falls. It is a common thing, and there are many people who miss work once in a while, so far, it is rare to hear that they have been caught and punished..."

"..." The wavering in Xiao Xuehua's eyes became more and more obvious.

At this time, the other party added the last fire: "Actually, the captain is also aware of these situations, but most of them turn a blind eye... The attitude towards you just now is probably because of you." For the sake of being a newcomer, I just want to show you off. Don’t you think he left without a trace in the end?”

"..."

What he said was so simple!It's justified!Convincing!

Xiao Xuehua completely fell under the other party's brilliant tongue, and she couldn't help those little thoughts that were about to move.

Under the gaze of those patient and soft Yingying eyes, the young man took a deep breath, and finally said stammeringly: "Then...or...I'll..."

As soon as I squeezed out these few words, the next second, a gust of night wind suddenly sent a soft and unfamiliar voice——

"What is our baby looking for in the sky? Is your neck tired?"

Xiaoxuehua, who was already guilty, suddenly felt as if she was caught on the spot just a second before she was about to do something bad, she closed her mouth tightly in an instant, her eyes were full of panic, and she looked towards the source of the sound. go.

The sound came from an alley beside the church.Following the sound of footsteps, two figures, one large and one small, appeared in Xiao Xuehua's field of vision.

Those were two human beings, they should be a pair of mother and child.The little boy was less than the thigh height of the mother beside him, his body was chubby, and he seemed a little clumsy when he walked.Moreover, he has been refusing to take a good look at the road, looking up at the night sky above with his head high, almost tripping over several times.

The lady beside him had no choice but to stop and walk with him in her arms, and only then did the previous question come to him.

The little boy hugged his mother's neck, and his voice was obviously depressed: "Mom, didn't the weather forecast say that it will snow tonight?"

Faced with her son's innocent eyes, the mother couldn't just say that the weather forecast is often unreliable, so she had to tell a white lie: "...Maybe the little fairy in charge of snow is busy giving the children Give presents and forget about the snow.”

The little boy swayed in her arms, and said coquettishly: "Then I don't want any gifts, let the little fairy take the time to give me gifts to snow, okay?"

emmmmm... I told a lie, I have to continue making it up even on my knees!

"Of course, the little fairy must have heard it. Let's go back to sleep now, and when we wake up tomorrow morning, we will definitely see snow."

The expression on the little boy's face suddenly lit up: "Mom, Mom! I'm going to build a big, big snowman tomorrow!"

"Wow, that sounds amazing..."

……

As the two figures drifted away, those fragmentary words were finally indistinct.

Xiaoxuehua stared in that direction for a long time, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and silently squeezed her fingers tightly.In the end, he saw that his whole body relaxed, his lips were flattened, and his head drooped pitifully.

"Then what... skipping work on the first day... doesn't seem too good... I... I'd better... get ready to start working..."

Even so, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and his lowered face was full of unspeakable grievances.

Under the silence of the night, the depressed young man buried his head deeply, so he didn't notice the pair of silver eyes that were watching him from the beginning to the end, filled with pity and tolerance. .

He didn't know that someone was actually cherishing every trace of his grievances and was willing to tolerate every little bit of his temper.
