Human life will suddenly disappear, but pure and selfless friendship will last forever, and will undoubtedly last for a long time and develop and expand. "Friendship" by Shen Congwen
………
Early the next morning, Jiang Suichu woke up leisurely and saw a vast expanse of white outside the window.
It was a hazy night last night, so she didn't see it too clearly. Only now can I fully see the snowy scenery of the North, which is so dreamy and unreal.
The B&B is located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. From a distance, you can see the rolling white mountains and rivers, and the dull green fir branches covered with snow, which really looks like a Christmas tree.
"Suisui, are you awake?"
Pei Shuo's voice sounded outside the door, and then Lu Zhinian was heard saying to him displeasedly, "Tsk, can you let her sleep again?"
Jiang Suichu laughed and crawled out of bed when he heard the two bickering.
The heater in the room was very warm. She was a little warm from sleeping last night, so she got up and changed into thin pajamas.
She rubbed her eyes, walked over and opened the door, "I'm already up."
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo were already dressed. Both of them wore black ski suits. The difference was that Pei Shuo's suit had a hat on the back, while Lu Zhinian's didn't.
Lu Zhinian saw that she was awake, "You go and wash up first, and after breakfast we will go to the ski resort."
Jiang Suchu nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Suichu's ski suit was prepared for her by Shu Yuan. It was light pink in color. Before going out, Lu Zhinian brought her a white knitted woolen hat and put it on her head.
After packing up, the three of them set off to the ski resort.
There was finger-deep snow on the road, and the snow boots crunched on it. Jiang Suichu had never seen snow before, so he picked up a handful of snow from the branches on the roadside and held it in his hand out of curiosity.
The ice is cool and becomes firm when pinched.
Lu Zhinian saw that her fingertips were red from the cold and frowned, "Aren't your hands cold?"
Jiang Suchu's hands were still full of snow, "It's okay."
It was actually a bit cold, and my fingers were a bit stiff from the cold.
Lu Zhinian took out her gloves from her pocket. She had just stuffed them into his pocket because she was too hot in the room without wearing them.
"Put the gloves on before playing." He pulled off the Velcro of the gloves and unfolded them toward her.
Jiang Suichu took a look, put her free hand directly into the glove, and let Lu Zhinian adjust it for her. After putting on one glove, Jiang Suchu put the snowball in his gloved hand and stretched out the other hand to him.
Lu Zhinian saw her extending her hand so naturally, and held the corner of her lower lip without showing any trace.
After putting on both gloves, Jiang Suichu grabbed a large handful of fluffy snow from the branches and balled it into a round ball in his hand.
Lu Zhinian noticed the change in her mood and raised his eyebrows: "Fun?"
Jiang Suchu: "Yeah!"
In the winter in Yun City, it doesn't snow in most places except for the mountains with higher altitudes. Even if it snows, it's like a few salt particles sprinkled on it. They turn into water before they hit the ground and cannot accumulate.
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes to look at her, his fair cheeks and the tip of his nose were red from the cold, and his round almond eyes shone with joy.
It seemed that he really liked her. Ever since his grandma got sick, he hadn't seen her truly happy for a long time.
He glanced at Pei Shuo, who was walking a little ahead and whistling, and bent down close to her ear, "Want to have something more fun?"
"Huh?" Jiang Suchu turned to look at him, "What?"
Lu Zhinian raised his chin forward and raised a smirk on his lips. Jiang Suchu followed his gaze and instantly understood what he meant.
She pursed her lips and smiled, then stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Wouldn't this be bad?"
Lu Zhinian saw the cunning look in her eyes, raised his hand and pinched her face, "Stop pretending."
She had been like this since she was a child. She was responsible for all the bad things, but she pretended to be a good person and innocent, letting him and Pei Shuo take the blame for her.
Jiang Suchu's face hurt a little from being pinched by him. She stretched out her hand and opened Lu Zhinian's hand. She smiled and her eyes turned into crescent moons, "I'm not pretending."
As she said this, she put the snowball into his hand and said, "Come here!"
Lu Zhinian threw down the snowball in his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then you call him."
"Okay." Jiang Suchu grabbed a handful of snow from the branch and hid it behind his back, then called Pei Shuo.
"Lele."
Pei Shuo was shaking his head and whistling when he heard Jiang Suchu calling him and turned around, "Well——"
When he turned around, before he could see the person clearly, a ball of snow hit him directly in the face.
There was a snap.
The snowballs that hit his face instantly dispersed and fell with a plop, and many of them got into his collar.
"Fuck!" He seemed to be electrocuted, shaking his clothes and jumping around like he was doing a senior disco.
Before he could shake himself off, another ball of snow came over and hit him on the shoulder.
"Hahaha..." Jiang Suchu looked at Pei Shuo jumping around and smiled from ear to ear.
Pei Shuo glanced at the two instigators with his hands on his hips and laughed angrily.
He pointed at the two of them and said, "Okay, you two just wait for me."
As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful from the clean snow next to him.
Lu Zhinian grabbed Jiang Suchu and said, "Run!"
Jiang Suchu was pulled forward by Lu Zhinian, while Pei Shuo kept chasing behind him.
Several snowballs hit him. Lu Zhinian protected Jiang Suichu in front of him, and the snowballs hit him on his back.
The snow was deep and it was very hard to run. After a while, Jiang Suichu couldn't run anymore.
Pei Shuo caught up with him, holding a handful of snow in his hand and smiling a little evilly, "Princess Sui Sui, it's your turn."
His previous throws were all blocked by Lu Zhinian.
Jiang Suchu sat in the snow, looked up at him, and begged for mercy, "Lele, let me go."
"Please, please." She clasped her hands together and looked at him aggrievedly with her big eyes.
Pei Shuo was very helpful. He raised his chin and said, "Then if you say something nice, maybe Brother Shuo can..."
Snapped!
Before he could finish singing, a ball of snow hit him directly on the forehead.
"Hahaha~" Jiang Suichu quickly got up from the ground after the sneak attack.
"Jiang Suichu!" Pei Shuo closed his eyes and wiped the snow from his face, gritted his teeth and said, "You're done!"
"Lu Zhinian, save me!" Jiang Suchu ran over, hid behind Lu Zhinian, and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
As soon as he saw it, he knew what Jiang Suichu was holding back. Pei Shuo, the fool, was fooled by her every time.
Pei Shuo came squeaking through the snow, passing Lu Zhinian to catch Jiang Suichu.
Lu Zhinian opened his hand to block Pei Shuo. The three of them looked like they were children playing eagle to catch chickens.
Jiang Suchu was hiding from ear to ear in the background. Suddenly, her foot slipped and she fell back. Lu Zhinian noticed it and turned around to pull her away. Pei Shuo took advantage of the opportunity and rushed over.
The result was that all three of them crashed into the snow.
"Ha ha ha ha………"
The three of them laughed and lay in the snow.
Jiang Suichu lay in the snow, looking at the empty and distant sky.
The occasional snowflake falling from the sky fell into her eyes, melting into tears and falling from the end of her eyes.
She bent her eyes and called them.
"A Nian."
"Lele."
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo agreed to her in unison.
"Um."
"I'm very happy today," she said.
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Suichu looked at the sky, smiled, and said silently in his heart.
thank you my friend.
They said they didn't like it when she said thank you, but she really appreciated them.
They were joking and laughing, pulling her out of her sadness and loneliness, and supporting her to move forward as if nothing had happened.
