Shihezi is a river. Fang Yan has never researched why it is called this name. It is probably because this name is too common, and no one has even made up a proper fairy tale for it.
There are many stones in Shihezi, and both sides of the river are lined with strange and bizarre stones.
The river was frozen and the ice was very thick. A few naughty children were skating on the river bank.
They play at a pretty high level!
Throw a smooth wooden board on the ice, and a person squats on the board. A child on each side pulls the child squatting on the board and runs forward. After running for a while, they suddenly throw his hands forward with force, and the board rushes forward with a "whoosh" sound, and disappears in the blink of an eye.
There were also two little girls riding bicycles on the ice. Riding a bicycle is more advanced and more difficult than skating on a wooden board. But the two children were obviously experts, turning left and right, and occasionally performing difficult moves, laughing proudly like silver bells.
Fang Yan and Ye Wenrou were walking along the Shi River. The wind was cold and the snow was drifting in the air. Their shoes made a crackling sound as they stepped on the snow, and each step did not even reach their knees.
Today's snow came particularly early and was particularly heavy.
Fang Yan pointed at the naughty boy on the river and said, "Shall we go skating too?"
"------" Ye Wenrou remained silent. This idiot, he actually wanted her to skate with a group of kids
"Then let's take a walk." Fang Yan also felt that this suggestion was not particularly good. What was the matter with the two of them running into a group of children? They were all well-known figures now. Ye Wenrou was the first among the younger generation in the inner world, and he was -- he and she were tied for first.
When the group of children saw Fang Yan, they shouted in unison.
"Fang Paopao, look, that's Fang Paopao-----"
"Fang Paopao, you're back again------"
"Fang Paopao, are you going to run again this time when you come back?"
------
"These kids-----" Fang Yan said with a smile. "There is no big or small."
Ye Wenrou did not respond, but looked at the children with interest and smiled, as if it was a very happy thing for her to see them laughing at Fang Yan.
"Fang Paopao, how dare you be with Sister Wenrou - aren't you afraid that Sister Wenrou will beat you again?" The girl on the bicycle stopped the bike, supported herself on one foot, and shouted at Fang Yan.
Fang Yan was really pissed off that even these little brats dared to bully him.
He bent down and picked up a handful of snow from the ground, then quickly squeezed it into a snowball and threw it at the little girl with two braids.
Snapped!
Fang Yan's aim was excellent, and the snowball landed right on the little girl's head.
The little girl screamed and cursed: "Fang Paopao, you dare to hit me----"
She threw the bicycle onto the ice, then rushed over to grab a snowball and threw it at Fang Yan.
When the other children saw that there were more fun games, they immediately joined in.
So, a group of children chased Fang Yan and smashed him, and Fang Yan fought back while holding his head and running away.
From time to time, you can hear children laughing and screaming when someone is hit by a snowball. The group of people are having a lot of fun.
Ye Wenrou stood there watching and did not join the fight. She had a gentle and indifferent smile on her face, just like a mother watching her children fighting with each other.
Snapped!
A snowball hit Ye Wenrou in the face.
Ye Wenrou was furious and looked everywhere for the murderer.
The little girl with pigtails pointed at Fang Yan, indicating that he was the one who hit her secretly.
Ye Wenrou bent down, picked up a snowball, aimed at the back of Fang Yan's head and threw it at him.
Snapped!
Fang Yan was hit on the head.
Fang Yan had been on guard in front of him, but he didn't expect someone to attack him from behind. He turned around and saw Ye Wenrou already bending over to pick up the second snowball, so he quickly shouted, "Ye Wenrou, how could you attack me?"
"You hit me first." Ye Wenrou threw the snowball at Fang Yan.
The snowballs thrown by the kids were easy to dodge, but Ye Wenrou's snowballs seemed to have eyes and were impossible to avoid. Two snowballs hit him in a row, and Fang Yan screamed in pain.
"When did I hit you? Ye Wenrou, did you misjudge me?" Fang Yan shouted while fighting back.
Ye Wenrou really couldn't be sure whether it was Fang Yan who smashed it. She had been thinking about something just now. Although her eyes were focused on the battle, she didn't notice the scene around her.
She looked at the pigtailed girl again, and the girl Fang Mengying said in a crisp voice: "Sister Wenrou, it was Fang Yan who hit you - I saw it."
Ye Wenrou nodded and threw the third snowball in her hand without hesitation.
Because of Ye Wenrou's joining, the children who were originally at a disadvantage suddenly became the winners. Fang Yan was busy dodging Ye Wenrou's attacks or counterattacking Ye Wenrou, and as a result, the children's snowballs flew towards him densely.
At the end of the battle, Fang Yan was covered in wounds and became the biggest loser.
While shaking off the snow residue on his neck, he shouted to the girl with pigtails, "Fang Mengying, come here and explain clearly - who hit Ye Wenrou?"
"You are you." Fang Mengying chuckled. "Anyway, we all saw it. It was you who hit----"
"You are my cousin-----" Fang Yan said. Fang Mengying was his aunt's daughter and also his cousin. Because the man his aunt married also had the surname Fang, her surname still followed theirs.
"Then I can't tell a lie." Fang Mengying said. She waved to her friends and said, "Let's go ice skating."
So, the group of children rushed towards the stone river again.
Fang Yan looked at Ye Wenrou helplessly and said, "I really didn't hit you. They wronged me."
"I know." Ye Wenrou said expressionlessly. However, her expressionless face now was somewhat different from her previous expressionless face. Her previous expressionless face gave people a cold feeling, while her current expressionless face made people feel - very happy.
There was no smile on her face, but Fang Yan felt that she must be smiling in her heart.
"You know?" Fang Yan was stunned. You knew that you still beat me to a pulp
"Those kids and you-----" Ye Wenrou said. "It's easier to beat you."
"------"
Are you getting used to it? You shouldn't bully others like this, right
Ye Wenrou started walking again. She was wearing a thin white casual outfit, but she didn't feel cold at all. Her short hair was blown by the wind, hitting her cheeks and making her look beautiful and sad.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ye Wenrou asked casually.
Fang Yan walked on the outside of Ye Wenrou. No matter where they are, a man should always stand on the outside of a woman.
"You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't even have the chance to treat you to a meal. To be honest, I didn't expect you to go to Huacheng. I didn't even think anyone would go there. I'm ready to face this challenge alone."
"I can't say I was ready. I just thought that I had already escaped once, and I couldn't escape again this time. I either died standing or died in battle. I thought I should muster up my courage for once."
"At that time, I was giving a large class to students. My lectures in school were pretty good and the students liked them very much. The principal forced me to give large classes to students twice a week. The day you went there was the first time I gave a large class to students."
Fang Yan kept talking, talking about whatever came to his mind. It was like two close friends chatting about daily life, or like a couple reuniting after a long separation.
"When you suddenly walked in, my mind went blank. I forgot what I said before, and I didn't know what to say next. You don't know what happened afterwards. After you left, many people went looking for you. Many boys regarded you as their secret crush. They gave you a nickname called 'Queen in Black'."
Ye Wenrou glanced at Fang Yan and did not respond, waiting for him to continue.
"Those two idiots, Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan, thought that I would definitely not be a match for Qianye Bingbu, and actually thought of such a stupid idea to expel Qianye Bingbu from the country. They didn't know that even if that trick succeeded, we would still lose the battle. It would be even worse than if I had personally gone into battle and been beaten up by Qianye Bingbu. I didn't expect that you would show up that night. If you didn't show up, I'm afraid Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan would suffer a great loss. They are afraid of you, but they like you even more."
"I showed up because I wanted to show up." Ye Wenrou said. "No one said I couldn't challenge Qianye Bingbu. No one said I couldn't challenge Qianye Bingbu before your decisive battle. I just happened to meet those two idiots-----"
"I know, I know." Fang Yan nodded repeatedly. "I know you won't admit that you actually care about me, and I can also pretend not to understand-----"
"Don't mess with me." Ye Wenrou stared at Fang Yan and said.
"I didn't provoke you." Fang Yan said seriously. "I used to provoke you often because I hated you. I hated that you were too powerful, that you were ruthless, and that you always made me lose in every competition -"
"I just want to say thank you to you. Thank you for beating me for ten years and for forcing me to make progress. Thank you for letting me have the heart of Tai Chi. Thank you for coming all the way to Huacheng to help me. And thank you for making the Fang family different from before."
Ye Wenrou remained silent.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yan looked at Ye Wenrou and asked. He felt that her expression was very strange. Shouldn't she say something when he expressed his sincere gratitude
"Fang Yan-----" Ye Wenrou said softly, as if she had finally made up her mind.
"Hey." Fang Yan responded happily.
"You can be more shameless." Ye Wenrou said.
"What?"
"I'm not used to you doing this." Ye Wenrou said.
"------"
