National Tide 1980.

Chapter 987 Snowman
The heavy snow outside made the gray city cold and pure.

However, Ning Weimin, who was dressed warmly and walked out of the hospital with Qu Xiao, felt a little more depressed than when he first came.

For nothing else, it was the first time he saw a chemotherapy patient today.

In his memory, he still clearly remembered the appearance of Qu Xiao's mother in her prime a year or two ago.

It was a very dignified looking woman who liked to perm her hair and was always smiling.

Her excellent genes not only gave Qu Xiao an outstanding appearance, but also matched Qu Xiao's handsome father very well.

Especially when people reach middle age, they look more and more like movie actor Wang Danfeng.

But it's been less than two years, and when we meet again, Ning Weimin sees her, but he is already too thin.

His appearance is haggard and his hair is falling out.

Even the optimism, affinity, and aura in him were gone.

This disparity in contrast made Ning Weimin feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

It is impossible not to think of the shortness of life, the injustice of life, and the sense of powerlessness that is difficult to control in the face of the harshness of fate.

He suddenly discovered that the most difficult thing in life is not success, fame, or wealth.

But the words "healthy and safe".

Like the "five blessings" that Kang Shude once told him, too much is too much, and both are indispensable. That is the summary of all the blessings that people dream of.

Compared with the "Fu, Lu, Shou, Happiness, and Wealth" that modern people admire, it seems superficial for the philistine.

How many people have been able to have longevity, wealth, well-being, virtue, and a good death at the same time from ancient times to the present?

Even emperors are few and far between.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he was still troubled by the mystery of his life experience in the first few days, which is really a small problem not worth mentioning.

To say something that should not be said, for him, the tragedy of the Qu family is like a dose of refreshing medicine.

All of a sudden, he was pulled out of unnecessary self-seeking troubles, his depression was resolved, and he re-corrected his attitude towards his own life.

As for Qu Xiao, the girl's inner feelings at this time were exactly the opposite of Ning Weimin's.

Because since returning to China, he has faced a sudden drop in family disasters and his mother on the sick bed.

Qu Xiao felt that the sky was falling apart, he shuddered, and was very eager to cry out his troubles to Ning Weimin.

But she is also a strong and independent girl.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of Ning Weimin, let alone act like a baby, she didn't want to put any pressure on Ning Weimin.

Especially grateful that Ning Weimin has helped him a lot, especially knowing that he is currently busy with some important affairs in Tokyo, so he dare not, and is unwilling, to disturb his mind with his own family's private affairs.

What's more, in name they are just subordinates and friends.

So she never contacted Ning Weimin, and she didn't reveal half of her plight.

Instead, he shouldered the burden silently, tried his best to share his father's worries, and helped him take care of his sick mother.

On the contrary, she very much hopes that she can be independent, strong, and omnipotent. It would be even better if she can help Ning Weimin solve problems.

But having said that, a girl's shoulders are too delicate, no matter how strong they are, they are limited.

Besides, she is so young.

Bearing the heavy pressure of life silently for a long time, as time goes by, it is inevitable to be tired and lonely.

She will also be more eager for care and help, want to see Ning Weimin more and more, and want to pour out her distress to him.

But at this time, Ning Weimin actually appeared.

And as soon as they met, they found another way to bring Qu Xiao's family a solution.

So no matter whether Ning Weimin's idea finally came true or not, it was like a ray of hope, sweeping away the anxiety and darkness in Qu Xiao's heart.

In this world, is there any girl who doesn't like the story of "Daddy-Long-Legs"?
And what girl doesn't want an omnipotent hero to lend a helping hand when she needs it most?

For Qu Xiao, Ning Weimin has completely become a simple and safe haven.

So at this moment, Qu Xiao's love for Ning Weimin is simply too strong.

Be it moved, grateful or something else.

Anyway, these emotions can be integrated with love, becoming hot, exciting, and even a little abnormal.

She had 1 impulses and wanted to throw herself into his arms.

She wants to become snow, rustling down, falling on his body, on his shoulders.

However, she was a little afraid and ashamed to reveal it.

Although I really wanted to take another step forward and try again bravely, but I didn't know what to do for a while, so I just blushed and hesitated to speak.

While hesitating, she was inspired by the crystal snowflakes that were still falling and the deserted streets.

She finally had an idea, took advantage of the situation, and sent out an invitation.

"It's snowing heavily. There's a garden in the middle of the street over there. Let's go build a snowman together..."

"Oh... what?" Ning Weimin came to his senses in astonishment, looking at Qu Xiao with an incomparably bright smile, he was actually quite confused.

"No, it's so cold, don't freeze you..."

"It's rare to see such a large amount of snow. I haven't seen it for several years. Besides, I wear so many clothes, so I won't freeze. Let's go..."

Qu Xiao held Ning Weimin's arm, pulling him hard.

Ning Weimin looked her up and down for a while, and saw that she was full of interest and rarely showed a lively and childish look.

I was really stubborn, so I had to compromise.

"Okay, then I'll push the snowball, and you do the rest, don't freeze your hands."

"No, I'm not afraid of the cold. Let's come together, otherwise what's the point?"

"The work of dressing up the snowman belongs to you. I do the rough work, and you do the fine work. Don't forget, it takes physical strength to make the snowball roll big. Unless you just want to make a small one." Ning Wei People explained with empathy.

"Well then, I can also deliver snow for you..." Qu Xiao accepted.

To say that this girl is indeed ingenious.

With the division of labor and cooperation between the two, it took less than three to ten minutes to build a beautiful big snowman together.

When it was almost finished, Qu Xiao blushed and exhaled, while correcting the face of the snowman, he enjoyed the masterpiece with joy.

"Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful. Only you can make a snowman so beautiful, I can't do it alone..."

Ning Weimin admired it from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing the praise, Qu Xiao laughed brightly, his voice was pure and crisp like ice cubes hitting.

"If you like it, I will make one for you every time it snows in the future."

"Thank you."

Ning Weimin didn't know how to word this sentence, it was just a formalized response.

"I saw a very beautiful poem in the newspaper recently, do you want to hear it?"

Qu Xiao suddenly mentioned another seemingly unrelated matter, and Ning Weimin had a vague premonition of something.

"..."

So even though he didn't get the answer he wanted, he stared at the snowman's smile, covered his cheeks with his hands, and recited in a low voice.

"The fog wets my wings, but the wind does not allow me to hesitate any longer. Shore, my beloved shore, I just said goodbye to you yesterday, and today you are here again. Tomorrow we will meet in another latitude. It is a storm , a light that connects us together.

It's a storm, another light that makes us divide things again.Don't be afraid of the ends of the earth, how can it be day and night.You are on my voyage, I am in your sight. "

After hiding for too long, she finally mustered up the courage to confess.

She loves him. She doesn't know when it started, but she has already fallen into it and cannot extricate herself.

All along, what really hindered her was the panic and sensitivity to this emotion due to lack of experience, and the inability to have enough courage and confidence to express it.

However, she loves him so much, she wants to hug him and be hugged by him.

I want to cry with him, laugh together, work hard together, and run towards hope together...

Although there were changes in her family later, it once deterred her from dragging down her loved ones.

But now all her worries have been put down by her, and she finally decided to face the difficulties, even if there is only a glimmer of hope.

"You remember really clearly." Ning Weimin sighed, clearly feeling that Qu Xiao's eyes were different.

He was a little at a loss, a little panicked, and didn't know how to respond.

"Does this snowman...like you?"

Although Qu Xiao was facing the snowman, as if talking to the snowman, but the target of the attack was Ning Weimin beside him.

"Hmm..." Ning Weimin made a perfunctory sound, trying to escape. "We should go."

"What's the rush? Can I kiss it?" Qu Xiao was bold and persistent.

For a shy and inexperienced girl, this is undoubtedly a reckless act of courage.

"You are such a fool. It's such a cold weather. Let's go. I'll take you back. Don't get sick from the cold."

Ning Weimin responded vaguely, which was a polite refusal.

He just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, and suddenly found that the current situation was originally a situation he had tried his best to avoid.

However, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, since Qu Xiao has already started, he will definitely approach step by step.

"I'm not cold." She said in a trembling voice, "Brother Ning, I...to you...me, the two of us..."

She didn't lie, the temperature of the blood rushing at this time was enough to make her body relax.

The reason why her voice is like this is not because of coldness, but because a girl who is just in love is eager to be watered by love.

The snowman was born for sunshine, and she was born for him.

It's a pity that Ning Weimin fell into the contradictions, like a dying larva stuck in a spider's web.

In front of his eyes is Qu Xiao, but in his mind is Matsumoto Keiko. She is different from the shy and cute girl in front of him, but smiles like a virgin...

He suddenly woke up, and finally realized that there was no way to avoid it, and it was time to stop it, otherwise it would be harmful to everyone.

Although in his mind, the best way to solve this problem has not yet been figured out.

Although for Qu Xiao who is currently experiencing a major life pain, it is extremely cruel to do emotional harm again.

But time waits for no one, the matter has come to this point, he can't help him to think about it, he must see the outcome.

"Xiao Qu, I have something to tell you... I'm in Tokyo, and I already... have a girlfriend..."

…………

got rejected.

Five minutes later, after listening to Ning Weimin's stumbling confession, Qu Xiao, who was shocked by the bad news, fell into an ice cave.

She was ashamed and turned around, with her back to Ning Weimin, her body began to tremble.

This time, it was really cold.

Qu Xiao knows that love is difficult.

But she never expected that her love would be so hard to come by.

She can never catch the light...

She bit her lower lip hard, trying to control herself.

But almost as soon as he turned around, a few tears came out of his eyes and fell on the snow.

A few drops hang on the cheeks, almost congealing into ice beads.

"I... I'm sorry!" Ning Weimin knew he was wronged, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he was flustered for no reason.

However, to his incomparable surprise, Qu Xiao stretched out his hand to cover his cheek, taking the opportunity to wipe away his tears.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head, breathed a few breaths into her hands, and said with a smile on her face.

"Brother Ning, thank you. I will always remember your help to me. You don't need to apologize. I am happy for you and hope you are happy. Really..."

After finishing speaking, she patted the snow off her body a few times and walked towards the road outside the garden in the middle of the street.

Ning Weimin followed silently, looking at Qu Xiao's back, not knowing whether to speak or to keep silent.

The window paper was finally pierced, but what they got was not easy, but even heavier.

Although the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, the pain is just as terrible.

Ning Weimin felt that his body and muscles had become stiff, his conscience and emotions had become numb, and even his mind and heart were almost as if frozen by ice and snow. He only felt unspeakable frustration and guilt.

At this moment, the snow is falling even more.

The colorful snowflakes fell silently on the snowman behind the two of them.

It seems to care for it, but also seems to submerge it.

The snow is falling quietly, falling...
