Time always passes quietly between people's fingers.

When you think of trying to catch it, it no longer knows where it is.

The breath of early winter does not give people any time to prepare. When you notice it, you will find that everything around you has already become desolate.

That's the smell of winter.

A long time ago, the sky had just been covered with a layer of gray and white. Outside the villa with a low-key and luxurious appearance, a slender figure stood quietly not far away.

The weather suddenly became cold. Before she could buy herself a warm piece of clothing, she still looked like autumn. The thin coat he bought for her at that time.

She knew, maybe, even if she had stood here early, even if she had been standing here all the time, in the end, she would not change anything.

However, she still wanted to stay for the end.

Today, it seems that even God is against her.

The sun did not rise on time as usual, and the cold wind was blowing harder and louder.

She gasped and stomped her feet gently, trying to add some temperature to herself.

After a while.

The door that had been closed in the villa was finally opened.

She hid more hidden properly.

"Look at me, I don't even know that I'm asleep."

The man sends the woman out.

"Don't I really need to give you?" The man was wearing loose home clothes and often yawned in his mouth.

"You've been busy all night, so let's have a good rest today."

"Oh well."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by.

"Wait for me." The man looked at the woman's frivolous clothes, and after saying that, he walked into the house. Soon, he came back, holding a thick black scarf in his hand. "Be careful not to catch a cold, I don't want to hear my aunt talking about me." He put the scarf on the woman with his own hands.

"Yeah." A flash of blush appeared on the woman's face. "Then I'll leave first."

“Be careful on the road.”

"I know, it's so long-winded." Although the woman said that, the smile on her face seemed more like... happiness and happiness.

Although she had been hiding not far away, she could not hear what the two people were saying, but those intimate actions, the shy pink on the woman's face, and the shyness that only women in happiness would show can always make people understand immediately what happened to the two people.

As she thought, so, there wasn't much shock.

She came quietly, and when she left, she was quietly without leaving any trace.

She looked up at the gray sky.

"If everything could end in the first snow, that would be great."

In the early morning, there were few pedestrians.

The cleaning aunt carefully cleaned the road covered by dead leaves.

Xia Muxi did not go home directly, but bought two hot buns on the side of the road, and walked towards the school while eating.

To be honest, she doesn't want to meet anyone at all, especially those familiar.

"Xia Muxi!" Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind, and Xia Muxi turned her head.

"Good morning, beast." Natsuki put down the bun that had already been in her mouth and greeted the beast with a smile.

"Why did you come to school so early today?" The two walked side by side.

"Because I got up early and staying at home was boring, I just came to school directly. What about you? Do you usually do this early?"

"After I came back from the army, I insisted on getting up early every day to exercise, and I was already used to it before I knew it."

"Are you still persisting in training? Is it the same as when you were in the army?"

"Um."

"Ah? Although you are really good at this, you don't have to be so serious. You are still so young, it's enough to exercise properly."

"Xia Muxi." The beast suddenly called the girl beside him.

"Um?"

"Actually, I'm really happy to meet you again."

"I don't understand very well, what is meeting again?"

"Do you remember meeting a fat boy when you were young?"

"Fat boy?" Xia Muxi thought for a while, then looked at him beside him, "Are you..." She looked at Lu Yiling with surprise and looked at him seriously.

"It seems you remembered it. Well, I am the fat boy from that year."

"Oh my God! I didn't expect it would be you."

"It's normal. After all, so many years have passed, and I'm not as fat as I used to be. But you haven't changed at all. So, I recognized you on the first day you transferred to school."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xia Muxi looked at the boy in front of her, she was sunny and handsome, and tall. Yes, she had already changed her appearance, so how could she recognize her?

"I'm a little embarrassed because I'm afraid you've forgotten me back then."

"How could you forget? You are the little hero who saved me." Xia Muxi smiled sweetly, and the scene of the fat little boy fighting with other boys in order to protect her appeared in his mind.

"Thank you for remembering me." Lu Yiling smiled happily knowing that she had not forgotten him. "But, time is really short. I finally mustered up the courage to tell you, but I will part immediately."

"Why?"

"It seems that you don't know yet." It turned out that Qiu Limo did not tell Xia Muxi.

"What do you know?"

"Actually, after the end of this semester, Lin Mu and I will join the army."

"Entering the army? Haven't you just left the army?"

"This time I am a real enlistment."

"When did you decide?"

"I decided before leaving the army. Because Lin Mu and I want to become stronger and protect the most important person in the future."

"There are many ways to become strong, so why do you have to choose to join the army?"

"Maybe, it has been arranged in the dark."

"If it were something you and Linmu did voluntarily, I would support you. However, I didn't hear Guoguo mention this. She should have known about it for a long time, after all, she and Linmu have such a good relationship."

"She doesn't know, Lin Mu is still hesitating when to tell her."

"Why do you still have to hesitate about this kind of thing? It's obviously a very glorious thing. When Guoguo finds out, she will definitely support you like me."

"Only the person involved can truly understand some things. We bystanders do not have any right to interfere. Just stay bystanders at critical moments."

"Well..." Yes, whether it is Guoguo and Linmu, Qiu Limo and Su Ya, for them, she has always played the role of a bystander.

"So, this matter is kept confidential for the time being."

"I see."

On this day, Xia Muxi lived a little depressed life.

Occasionally, she would observe Lin Mu quietly, sometimes she would see his eyes keeping at Li Guo, and sometimes she would see the reluctance and loneliness in his eyes.

Perhaps, Lin Mu’s feelings for Guoguo are not just friends.

After the day's class, the four of them said goodbye to each other and then walked in different directions.

Su Ya had been waiting for Xia Muxi nearby for a long time.

"Do you have time? How about having a meal with me?" Su Ya stood outside the car and said to the girl.

"Um."

"Then get in the car."

The two got into the car, and Xia Muxi got used to sitting in the back seat of the car.

“What do you like to eat?”

"It will be all right."

"That's good. Actually, I just discovered a very good Japanese restaurant recently. I was thinking about finding someone to accompany me. After thinking about it, it's the most suitable for you. After all, you have been back in China for so long, so I should be a guest to welcome you."

"Actually, you don't have to be so polite."

"How can you say you are polite? It's all right. I know that Li Mo must have taken you with a lot of delicacies, but that's him after all, and he can't replace my portion."

"Thank you, Sister Su Ya."

Japanese restaurant.
