He came from the bell tonight

It's snowing again.

Feilian is a planet very far away from the sun, on the edge of the galaxy, not a warm place.However, Imperial College is located on a vast plain with mountains at its back, and winter is always long and cold.

Su Ling sat by the window sill, with an endless collection of poems beside him.He looked out of the window quietly, and the feather-like snow fell on the branches, the roof, or the blades of grass one by one.

This is no longer a novelty for him.But every time he is still willing to observe carefully.Every snowflake is different, the size and shape, the way of falling, the appearance of accumulating or melting, all are brand new.

He tried to write this down, though he didn't know why.But his intuition told him that it might be related to the place he came from - the distant star sea, a coordinate that has not been discovered in human science for the time being.

One day he will probably go back.It's like coming home.I don't know if it will snow there too.

But that should be a long time later.At least as long as the contract exists, he is still needed.

The bell tower not far away stands in the heavy snow, and the blue crystals still have a faint light in the thick night.The thin snow moves with the hour hand and overlaps with the minute hand, heralding the arrival of a new day.

The familiar bell rang again.

Su Ling silently counted, and it lasted 30 seconds.

When the long voice disappeared, there was no trace left behind.It's like heavy snow covering the footprints on the road, not coming and going.

Footsteps came down the stairs.

There is a slight difference from the daytime, the frequency is slower and the sound is heavier.

"It's you." Su Ling recognized him.

It was the "different" Xiao Huaiyan.

The visitor smiled slightly and replied, "It's me."

This time, instead of approaching Suling as before, he opened the refrigerator casually.He didn't find what he was looking for inside, instead he found half a case of red wine from the corner of the bookshelf.

He took out a bottle, rather disgusted, and then picked a glass that was pleasing to the eye as if giving up.

Su Ling knew that the box of wine was brought by Lian Xiao, and Xiao Huaiyan never touched it.

The person in front of him took a sip at this time, frowned and put it aside.Instead, he walked to Su Ling's side, also standing by the window sill.

Su Ling maintained a sideways sitting posture, still looking at the heavy snow.In the night, under the street lights, it is like a misty dream.

The hair on the cheeks was pulled behind the ears, and the calloused fingertips slowly passed the arc of the face, slightly lifting Su Ling's chin.

Those dark eyes were full of scrutiny.

The next moment, there was wind in my ears.

Xiao Huaiyan staggered back two steps, and a reddish mark soon appeared on the left side of his face.But instead of getting angry, he smiled and hooked his hands: "Come again."

Su Ling was no longer surprised why he didn't hide, he was not very polite, but he also had reservations.

He only used ordinary fighting techniques, the ones taught in Imperial College classes - he had hardly practiced it, it was all based on impressions.Humans are too slow in this regard, and their attack power is also weak, far inferior to him.

But the people in front of him seem to be familiar with his attack habits, and they can always dodge slowly.With the acceleration of the attack rhythm, the speed of dodging is also gradually increasing.

Occasionally, Su Ling changed his moves, and the opponent also got hit twice.However, perhaps because of the stimulation of pain, Xiao Huaiyan was even happier.

Su Ling frowned slightly, and just as he was in a daze, he was grabbed by the wrist and pressed against the window sill.

"You can push me away." Xiao Huaiyan said sullenly, resting his forehead on his neck.He wrapped his arms around Su Ling's narrow waist, bringing himself closer.

The "Xiao Huaiyan" in front of him always likes to be close to him, it seems that only intimate contact can get temporary satisfaction.The nervousness that had been immersed in the masochism just now revealed a faint pity. He was ordering, and it sounded like he was begging.

Su Ling's back knocked open the half-locked window, and the snowy wind poured into the room instantly, blowing away his jet-black long hair.

The next moment, he was hugged tightly.

Xiao Huaiyan's body was very warm, which made Su Ling give up his refusal.

He seems to love cuddling.

Su Ling thinks that cats like it very much, especially when they are begging for food.

"Are you hungry?" Su Ling asked.

The air was silent for a moment, Xiao Huaiyan laughed softly.

"No... well, it can be."

Su Ling was surrounded by him without knowing why.

"...Are you reading poetry?" Xiao Huaiyan noticed the poetry collection on the window sill, and was momentarily confused when his eyes passed by.

"Just look through it." Su Ling said.

He didn't quite understand it, but he just thought those words were beautiful.But if you look at it for a long time, you will want to sleep.

The opened page is a hand-painted painting of two people embracing each other in the heavy snow, which is as peaceful and serene as a short poem.

When Xiao Huaiyan smiled lowly, his breath rubbed against Su Ling's earlobes, occasionally touching them softly.

"Why, is it similar to us?"

Su Ling was silent for a while, and asked, "Do they have a contract too?"

The person holding him seemed to be stiff, and then covered it up calmly: "They are in love."

"What is falling in love?"

Xiao Huaiyan paused, remembering something, and said in a low tone, "They will be moved and ache for each other, and occasionally want to cry."

"It's not a good thing." Su Ling made a judgment.

"No," Xiao Huaiyan said firmly, "it's the best thing."

He stroked Su Ling's plain and dazed eyes, lowered his head and planted a light kiss on Su Ling's forehead.

"If it's just a hallucination, let me sink a little deeper."

He asked Su Ling to accompany him to sleep as before.When they embraced each other, Su Ling was covered in his scent.

When Xiao Huaiyan's breathing gradually stabilized, he didn't let go of the hands locked around his waist.

Su Ling turned on his pocket watch, it was now 25:[-].

5 minutes longer than his last appearance.

The window of the speeding car is full of unmelted ice and snow, crystal clear in the sun, reflecting the dazzling light.

With a slight step on the brakes, the car came to a sudden stop on the side of the road.

Su Ling was sitting in the co-driver, and saw the black spot chasing from a distance from the rearview mirror.

"This system is too old," Xiao Huaiyan put his hand on the window of the car, and the glass reflected Su Ling's drowsy expression and his inexplicable blue and purple face, "but it's not bad, at least there will be no Speeding record."

In the final analysis, because this Blizzard has the only surviving Age of Empires engine, the registration serial number is not within the range of the Alliance system, so there is no tracker installed.Whether in the city or no man's land, you can gallop at will.

Lian Xiao got out of the car parked behind, his eyes flashed with eagerness: "Boss, let me take a ride in the snowstorm too."

He touched the rearview mirror and couldn't help but be amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship.

"Hey, stop your drool quickly!" Xizi patted him, "I think it's a good idea, let you get in the car, do you want to take Suling's seat or do you want the boss to get off?"

Lian Xiao hurriedly explained: "The rear seat has only been removed, but it can still be installed. I can do this job. At worst, I can sit in the trunk."

Xizi comforted, "It's okay, I won't wrong you like this. Chuchu is still waiting for us in the car."

Su Ling noticed that when Ou Chuchu was mentioned, Lian Xiao flinched.

"What happened?" Xiao Huaiyan asked casually.

Lian Xiao hurriedly squeezed Xi Zidu away, and complained: "Chu Chu stepped on the gas pedal, and the operation of the whole system is in chaos. The large army is almost at Caiyu City, and we will definitely not be able to catch up with the opera performance."

Ou Chuchu's dissatisfied voice came from behind: "I told you to take the school bus, but you, a person without a driver's license, still pick and choose. If you didn't scare me, such a thing would never have happened."

The two of you talked to each other, and the quarrel became more and more intense.

Xiao Huaiyan got a headache when he heard it, and immediately closed the car window.

Su Ling sat quietly, as if nothing could affect him.

Until the three of them squeezed into the blizzard abruptly, the rock music couldn't cover the noise.

"Su Ling, come and judge, whose fault is it?" Lian Xiao rubbed the back of the seat.

Ou Chuchu blushed with anger, and slapped him on the hand: "Don't ask Su Ling, what's the matter with Su Ling. Tell me clearly today, why blame me."

Su Ling observed the console for a while, then lowered the glass on his side.The cold wind got into the bustling car, like a catalyst, making the backseat even more boiling.

The blizzard flew across the open field like an arrow leaving the string, leaving the undulating mountains far behind.The blue sky ahead is thousands of miles away, and the straight and wide road stretches to the horizon.

This is the first trip of the blizzard.

Xiao Huaiyan still looked lazy.But the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood.

Su Ling was stunned for a while, and heard him ask lightly: "Is that person going to Caiyu City?"

He seemed to be just asking casually, neither salty nor bland, absent-minded.But after waiting for a while without getting an answer, he quickly glanced at Suling.

Su Ling thought, if that "companion" refers to himself after midnight, then——

"……Um."

The understatement in Taohua's eyes suddenly subsided.He said something, his voice drowned out by the quarrel behind him.

Su Ling heard clearly, what he asked was "man or woman".

"It's a man." He turned his head and told Xiao Huaiyan seriously.

He didn't know why, but he felt that Xiao Huaiyan was suddenly in a bad mood, even to a bad degree.

Otherwise, Blizzard wouldn't accelerate suddenly, causing the three people in the back seat to stumble on the backrests at the same time.

"It doesn't matter, you won't be able to see him anyway." The thin lips were tightly pressed and he spit out the words calmly.

The calmness in Su Ling's eyes remained unchanged, and he watched Xiao Huaiyan quietly.

The cold wind ruffled his hair, which shone brightly in the sun.

It was only then that Su Ling realized that Xiao Huaiyan's hair was not so dark, as if it was covered with a warm color.

It looks furry.

It makes people want to touch it.

He thought so, and did so.

Strangely, the obvious displeasure deflated instantly like a punctured bubble.
