Chapter 39
Chi Jinnian stood by the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, under the leisurely night, tens of thousands of crystals fell with the wind.
"Master, look, it's snowing." Chi Jinnian stretched out his hand out of the window, holding a snowflake in his palm.But the moment the crystal fragments touched the skin, they turned into a small drop of water and penetrated into the skin of the palm.
Chi Jinnian didn't give up, but instead stretched out his hand to the next snowflake.
Yuan Shao looked at the little girl having fun by the window, with smiles on her brows and eyes, like a kitten that got amused, its fluffy paws refused to take back, every time it catches a piece, it will meow happily Meow twice.
Sure enough, the little girl is so cute.
Yuan Shao came behind her, stretched his hand to the side of Chi Jinnian's palm, squeezed a spell in his palm to prevent the snow from melting, and then held it in front of Chi Jinnian: "Do you like it?"
The enchanted snowflakes are not easy to melt. Chi Jinnian took it carefully, looked at the pattern on it, and had to admit the uncanny workmanship of nature. It was just a small drop of water, which fell from the sky and turned into such a delicate appearance .
"Yeah!" Chi Jinnian nodded. As a child from the south, he has little chance to see snow in the real world. It was the first time he experienced it in Shuijing last time.But because the weather was too harsh, and she had something on her mind, she couldn't care less about admiring it. q顤君⑧⑦①⑥⑧③①⑤⑤
Instead, she took this opportunity to know for the first time that snowflakes really look like this, hexagonal, with small crystals sticking out like branches.
"Master, this is the second time I've seen Xue." Chi Jinnian smiled and turned back: "The last time was in the water mirror, and I was with you."
"Do you like snow very much?" Yuan Shao asked.Yuqing Peak is like spring all the year round, so there may be little chance to see snow.
Chi Jinnian shook his head: "Although snowflakes are beautiful, they are too cold. I still like flowers better." Since he had been standing by the window, Chi Jinnian's hands gradually became cold, and he said It happened that a gust of cold wind blew by, causing Chi Jinnian to sneeze.
"It's cold." Yuan Shao stretched out his hand to close the window. Seeing Chi Jinnian's reluctant eyes, Yuan Shao brought him back to the house while comforting him: "The night wind is too cold. If you like it, I will take you tomorrow." look."
"Master, I heard from friends in the north that you should eat candied haws in snowy days." Chi Jinnian looked at Yuan Shao with wet eyes, full of expectation.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao pinched the tip of Chi Jinnian's nose and smiled, "Okay, I'll buy you candied haws tomorrow."
Coincidentally, Li Tao and Zhang Wei got in through the crack of the door.The communication between the two was interrupted.
"Master, we are back from inquiring about the news." The two mice jumped onto the table one after the other.
Chi Jinnian's attention was diverted from Yuan Shao's body for an instant, and he came to the table: "How about it, what did you find out?"
Because the original book was too long and there were many copies, Chi Jinnian could only remember the general idea, but couldn't tell the details.She only knew about the Cold Winter Conference, even if the original body plotted against him, Yuan Shao still won the first prize, but she forgot what the two rounds of competitions in the Winter Cold Conference were all about.
Zhang Wei wiped the snow stains on his tail, and replied: "We both inquired with the local rat gang, and they said that the first round of the test is about brain power, and the second round is about endurance."
"Brain power..." Chi Jinnian murmured and repeated, thinking that Yuan Shao, as the heroine, should not be a problem to test intelligence. "Then what kind of test is it?"
"It seems to be assigned by group, write the answers on paper, and take the top [-] to enter the next round." Li Tao thought of something, and quickly added: "By the way, I heard from the brothers of the Rat Gang that this year's brain test It counts."
-
Su Tingxi's life in the firewood house can be described as dire and tortuous. It is clear that Ling'an City is covered with snow all the year round, and the night is even bitingly cold, but his body is inexplicably hotter and hotter.Coupled with the fact that Huang Er was in his room, the smell was even more unspeakable.
The bathtub for bathing has been replaced with three rounds of water, and it is not as stinky as it was at first, but it is still indescribable to be in the same space.
Originally, he felt a bit of brain pain from being smoked, coupled with the heat of his body, he was forced out of the woodshed.
The moonlight was as cool as water, and the cold air around him cleared his mind a little, but it didn't take long for him to be hit by the next wave of scorching heat.
Su Tingxi curled up beside the snowdrift, his hot body melted the snow and wet his clothes.A chaotic figure appeared in his mind.
The man in white clothes is better than the snow, he is three points more noble than the snowflakes in the sky.
"Master..." Su Tingxi murmured, a sudden force from nowhere made him stand up, and staggered towards the inn.
It was already late at night, and the shopkeeper and waiter of the inn had already rested. No one noticed that a dark shadow sneaked up the stairs from the lobby.
Su Tingxi was dizzy, and couldn't remember how many floors he had reached, but suddenly felt a familiar aura, which was the spell of Changqingmen.
"Master!" He rushed to find this familiar force, pushed the door and entered, and saw the back of a woman in a trance.
At this moment, his vision was already blurred, and his eyes were in chaos, and then he fell down by the door with a thud.
The voice caused the woman to turn around, and she was really startled when she looked back.When a stranger appeared in her room, the woman thought it was some kind of villain, but seeing that the stranger was leaning powerlessly against the door with his eyes closed, she thought about going over to check.
The woman stretched out her hand to feel the other person's pulse, but at this movement, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist with his backhand, turned to bring her into his arms, and murmured: "Master, Master, please don't drive me away!" .”
The woman began to struggle: "Who are you? Let go!" Seeing that the light ball of spiritual power had condensed in the palm of his hand, and it would come out in the next second, Su Tingxi closed his eyes and replied vaguely: "Master, I am Su Tingxi, I am your apprentice..."
Hearing the words Su Tingxi, the ball of light in the woman's hand dimmed for an instant.
Then, her expression softened and she stopped struggling.
After Su Tingxi completely lost his strength, he moved the opponent's arm away.Due to the fluctuation of spiritual power in his body, the disguise technique on his face has disappeared, and he is in the state of true appearance at this moment.
The woman caressed Su Tingxi's cheek with her plain hand, and then said slowly: "Su Tingxi——so it was you."
-
Chi Jinnian and Yuan Shao slept on the same bed, but they covered each other with their own quilts, and no one disturbed the other.
It's extremely cold in Ling'an City at night, even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, it can't stop the bursts of cold air.Zhang Wei and Li Tao are easy to talk about, they are small, they got into the closet, and slept fairly warmly.
But Chi Jinnian was different.There was a cold wind blowing at the window just now, her hands and feet were always cold, and she couldn't move slowly, even under the quilt, it was unbearably cold.
"Is it cold?" Yuan Shao asked her: "I see that you have been shaking, did the cold wind blow hard by the window just now?"
"Isn't Master cold?" Chi Jinnian's voice trembled a little, and they were lying on the same bed with the quilt about the same thickness.And in summer, Yuan Shao could feel a slight chill around him.Thinking about it, it won't be too good at the moment.
Yuan Shao didn't answer, but pulled Chi Jinnian's hand under his quilt.
Then, Chi Jinnian looked back differently.
Is this really the temperature of a bed?My side is as cold as an ice cellar, but Yuan Shao's side is warm.Isn't her body cooler all the time?Could it be that the heroine still has a physique that is warm in winter and cool in summer?
"How about we pile the quilts together, will it be warmer?" Yuan Shao asked casually.
"But... Master, I'm very cold. If I go over, you'll be cold too." Chi Jinnian was trembling, knowing that the front was warm and comfortable, but he didn't dare to go over.
Yuan Shao didn't agree, she stretched out her long arms, and without any explanation, brought the little apprentice's body under her own quilt, and then put the other's quilt on top of her own quilt.
They lie together under a quilt.The quilt was not big, and the two were very close to each other. Feeling the chill from each other, Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and hugged Chi Jinnian into his arms.
"Master, am I cold?" Chi Jinnian, surrounded by warmth, said cautiously, "Master, you are so warm."
In the dark environment, Chi Jinnian could not see the smile between the other's eyebrows.Of course Yuanshao is warm here, she has been using spells to bake for so long, isn't it just for this moment!Thinking of this, Yuan Shao pulled the man into his arms again: "It's not cool."
At this time, Yuan Shao hugged Chi Jinnian from behind, holding her pair of catkins with both hands, trying to warm his palms.
Chi Jinnian was not used to such a short distance.But as soon as he moved, he was stopped by the person behind him: "If you move around, the heat will dissipate."
Hearing this, Chi Jinnian calmed down and let the other party hug him, with his back pressed against the other party's chest, as if he could feel the strong heartbeat of the other party.
For a while, I didn't feel sleepy.
"Can't sleep?" Yuan Shao asked her: "Do you still feel cold?"
"It's not cold anymore." Chi Jinnian didn't want to put all the chill on his back on the other party, so he turned around after relieving himself, and lay face to face with Yuan Shao.
Seeing someone approaching, Yuan Shao raised his hand and pinched Chi Jinnian's soft cheek: "It is said that no one hurts when your hands are cold. You see your hands are so cold. I think it's because Master doesn't love you enough."
Chi Jinnian let the other party hold her, and retorted: "I didn't!" Then, as if thinking of something, she said without end: "Yuqing Peak is better, warm, and the seasons are like spring."
Yuan Shao heard the words, held the other party's hand and froze for a moment, then asked inadvertently: "Then are you willing to stay in Yuqing Peak forever?"
Chi Jinnian didn't notice the other party's fluctuations, so he just replied leisurely: "It's good to stay in Yuqing Peak for the rest of my life. Anyway, the master takes care of food, drink and care, and I rely on the master for the rest of my life."
The stiff hands softened.Slowly conveying warmth to the other party.
Chi Jinnian was not used to being hugged like this.A pair of apricot eyes were wide open, but they were still unwilling to close them.
At the same time, Yuan Shao was also very energetic.With the beauty in her arms, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Even without spells at this moment, her body warmed up bit by bit.
"Master, can't you sleep too?" Chi Jinnian heard Yuan Shao's breathing getting heavier, thinking that his own cold had driven away Yuan Shao's drowsiness, and felt guilty for a moment.
"I'm thinking about tomorrow's trial." Yuan Shao replied.
Unexpectedly, the majestic heroine would also be so nervous about the exam that she couldn't sleep.Chi Jinnian comforted the other party with a smile: "Don't worry, master, you will definitely win, I believe in you."
"Okay." The other party's affirmation made Yuan Shao's mood brighter, so he suggested: "Since you can't sleep, why don't you tell a story and listen to it."
Chi Jinnian felt the wind outside the window, and recalled the snowflakes flying all over the sky: "Then let me tell Master the story of "Snow White". Once upon a time, there was a princess..."
Chi Jinnian spoke vividly, especially when it came to Snow White eating the poisoned apple, he sat up excitedly, squeezed his throat to imitate the voice of the queen in the cartoon: "This is not an ordinary apple! This is a can The Wishing Apple! Just take a bite and your dreams will come true!"
Yuan Shao listened with gusto, and stared at the young girl performing in front of her with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Until the end, Chi Jinnian explained the ending of the story: "From then on, the prince and princess lived happily together."
"No more?" Yuan Shao asked, "Where are the dwarfs?"
"They, let's continue living in the forest." Chi Jinnian raised his eyes to look at Yuan Shao: "Master, don't you like this story?"
Yuan Shao hugged Chi Jinnian back under the quilt, and while warming her body, he said, "I just don't understand. Obviously, when the princess was in the most danger, it was the dwarves who took her in and rescued her when she was in danger." Yes, the one who drove the queen away was also a dwarf, even the one who thought she was dead and built her coffin was also a dwarf, but why did the princess like the prince, he obviously didn't do anything."
Chi Jinnian's body, which had finally warmed up a little, became a little colder due to the exciting performance just now. When she was leaning on Yuan Shao to keep warm, she was surprised by the other party's thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, Chi Jinnian slowly replied: "Maybe it's because the dwarf is ordinary in appearance, height, and family background, so he is not as dazzling as the prince. Isn't it normal for such an ordinary person to be ignored and forgotten? "
For a moment, Chi Jinnian couldn't tell whether he was talking about the dwarf or herself.
She has always been the most ordinary one in the crowd. She has no noble background, no prominent family background, and no top grades. She was born ordinary and has never attracted anyone's attention.
If it weren't for the need to clock in for work, perhaps in the original world, no one would have noticed that a woman named Chi Jinnian had disappeared.
She suddenly raised her face and asked Yuan Shao: "Master, if one day I disappear, will you go to find me?"
"Why are you missing?"
"If one day Master is in a bad mood and kills me, maybe I will hide and see Master."
"There won't be such a day." Yuan Shao fingered the bell on Chi Jinnian's jade bracelet lightly: "If you really want to hide from me and go to the poor and fall to the underworld, I will find it for you too."
"And then?" Chi Jinnian murmured.
"Then..." Yuan Shao seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled: "Then master will vent your anger on you, okay? The master scared the apprentice away, she should be punished! Tell me, how should I punish her?"
Chi Jinnian: ...
She didn't believe that someone would punish herself.She felt that Yuan Shao was just teasing her.
Yuan Shao didn't notice the little apprentice's loss, but stretched out his hand to cover the other's eyes: "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly, be good—"
Chi Jinnian was in a warm darkness, and she soon fell asleep.
Yuan Shao raised his hand slowly when he heard the breathing sound around him gradually becoming more even.
Such a cute little girl, the little apprentice frowned now and she felt distressed, and it was too late to hurt her, so how could he be so cruel.

Su Tingxi woke up in a strange room.When he opened his eyes, there was a strange woman sitting opposite him.
Although I haven't seen it before, she is wearing Changqingmen's clothes.
"Wake up." The woman seemed to hear the voice, and slowly opened her eyes. She walked in and felt for Su Tingxi's pulse: "You took the medicine yesterday, and I have given you the needle."
Su Tingxi couldn't remember what happened last night, she only remembered that she was lying beside the snow, that her body was hot, but then she couldn't remember.He didn't have time to think about when to take the medicine, he just looked at the other party in astonishment.
The woman seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Su, don't worry, you are still very complete. It was nothing more than being pricked a few times by my needle."
Seeing Su Tingxi's estrangement, which was quite different from the way he fainted at the door last night, the woman smiled and said, "Senior Brother Su, don't be so nervous, I'm also from Changqingmen."
She put a clean dress into his hands, and rubbed the other's hair: "Put it on yourself."
For some reason, although the other party kept calling him senior brother, he could see a trace of... kindness in the other party's eyes?
After changing into clothes, Su Tingxi raised his arms and asked the other party: "Thank you, miss, do you dare to ask her name?"
"Elder Yaohua's disciple, Zhuang Rong."

The test field is located at the city gate, and the tables are placed neatly in rows under the city gate. The examiner is located above the city gate, overlooking the entire examination room, to invigilate the candidates.
The rules are very simple, the top [-] will advance to the next round, and if the top [-] is over, they will go home directly, and there is no need to step into Ling'an City again.
When Su Tingxi arrived, Yuan Shao and the others had already found their place.
"Brother, we are here!" Huang Er called out loudly, and Su Tingxi hurried over upon hearing this.
Chi Jinnian held the rules that he just got from the examiner: "Although it is a team battle, there may only be one person taking the test. If one person advances, the team will advance, and if one person fails, all members will be eliminated. So, who will we get on?"
"Master, let me come." Su Tingxi volunteered.Ever since Master lost his memory, he has been losing his composure in front of Master. This time is a good time to restore his image, and he must not miss it.
"Are you sure? Or let the young master..." Before Chi Jinnian could finish speaking, Su Tingxi interrupted her: "Don't worry, when I was young, I used to be abacus. It's us."
Seeing Su Tingxi's confident appearance, as a master, Yuan Shao naturally couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of his apprentice: "Okay, then you come. Let's go and wait."
With Yuan Shao's support, Su Tingxi straightened his back for a moment.Hearing that the examiner arranged for the trial members to enter the examination room, he walked towards the table belonging to them with unrecognizable steps.
"In the first trial, the competition counts. The top [-] teams with the highest correct rate will win. If the correct rate is the same, the team with the shortest time will win. There is no doubt."
Seeing that all the candidates had no objections, the examiner took out the scroll containing the test questions.
Su Tingxi rolled up his sleeves and picked up his pen. He put on his posture and waited for him to start writing the moment the exam questions were announced.
After the examiner finished reading the first question aloud, the pen in Su Tingxi's hand also dropped, leaving only ink marks on the white paper.
"Chickens and rabbits are in the same cage. There are 35 heads from the top and 94 feet from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?"
The author says:
Su Tingxi: Who made the question!Say good math!The little abacus in my heart is ready!
Chi Jinnian: It turned out that Yuan Shao's victory was due to elementary school word problems!This is something I didn't expect! !
