Chapter 339 First Snow
"I'm leaving now."

"I'll bring you something delicious next time."

Xiao Xiao put all the plates into the snack box, picked up the snack box, and said goodbye to Niu Niu with a smile.

"Baa baa~"

The monkey barked a few times reluctantly, but waved its hooves very obediently.

I also learned this from Xiao Xiao.

It feels very interesting.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao chuckled, waved his hand, turned and left.

"Baa baa~"

Behind him came the low and heavy cry of the wild goose, like the sound of a Huangzhong or Dalu, which slowly spread out in the desolate and dark night like ripples, causing a rustling sound among the branches in the forest.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the forest rose and fell like waves, creating even louder waves, "Hua La La~Hua La La~"

Instead of being swallowed up, the cry of the monkey seemed to reveal a sense of silence and remoteness.

……

When we reached the entrance of the woods, the wind stopped and everything was silent, save for the faint rustling of some branches.

Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked into the dark depths of the forest behind him. He seemed to still hear the cries of the monkeys, but they were vague and not real.

He smiled, "Whoosh~" another gust of wind blew, Xiao Xiao raised his hand to press down his flying hair, "It's time to go back." He muttered and walked towards the dormitory building.

"Coffee~"

Feifei slightly opened her eyes, letting out a bit of silver-blue light, and responded in a soft voice.

"Ouch~"

Taotie was in a good mood now and didn't mind responding to this human occasionally. Moreover, unable to bear the pressure of his claws, Taotie turned over and pressed Xiao Xiao's hair with his whole body. Although these messy hairs did not cause any harm to it, they were annoying and it made its eyes itchy.

It’s so windy outside now, we’d better go back quickly.

Taotie remembered that the other humans also had a big snack box in their hands.

The corners of its mouth couldn't help but open into a wide grin.

……

Xiao Xiao naturally didn't know that a certain glutton had already set his eyes on the snack boxes in the hands of Zhang Bo and his companions.

But after a while, there were no more students on the road outside the woods.

The student cafeteria, which was some distance away from the woods, was still brightly lit, but there were only a few people in it.

Xiao Xiao glanced at it casually and walked quickly towards the dormitory building.

He felt that he needed a hot drink, water would be fine, tea would be even better.

……

"Ok?"

Xiao Xiao stopped his hurried steps, reached out and touched his right cheek, feeling a little cool.

This is……

Xiao Xiao looked up and felt a slight coolness not only on his face but also on his hands.

There is also a soft touch.

Snowing?!

In the dark night, snowflakes suddenly fell together, emitting a hazy light, which gave off a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

Xiao Xiao vaguely heard a few exclamations coming from a distance.

Even though it snows every year in Yanjing, the first snow still surprises the people here, not to mention those students from the south who rarely see snow. They are overjoyed and deeply moved.

……

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to catch the small snowflake, and watched it quickly turn into a pool of water in his palm. But new snowflakes fell again, and this cycle repeated again and again, and his palm was cold.

However, the soft feeling of the snowflakes touching you inexplicably makes you feel nostalgic.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei opened her eyes, and the snowflakes all over the sky were reflected in her silver-blue pupils, which was so beautiful that it was unreal and breathtaking.

It stood up, and imitating Xiao Xiao, stretched out a paw and tentatively caught a snowflake.

The tiny snowflakes quickly melted on its paws.

Feifei looked at his paws with some curiosity.
Another snowflake fell.

Feifei's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to find it interesting and somewhat addicted to playing.

It keeps changing direction, catching one snowflake after another, without being saddened by their fleetingness. It just repeats the simple action of catching the snowflakes, feeling the cool and gentle breath of the snowflakes as they touch and disappear.

……

"Ouch~"

Taotie, lying on his back, felt a little chill on the tip of his nose and couldn't help wrinkling his nose. He opened his eyes lazily under his armpits and saw the snowflakes fluttering down and covering the sky.

Against the black background, each snowflake seems to be shrouded in a faint halo, emitting a hazy and shallow glow, illuminating the entire dark and silent world.

The grandeur and magnificence made Taotie stunned for a rare moment.

It didn't get up, just lay there, letting the snowflakes fall all over its body.

It doesn't care about the coolness of the snowflakes. Even though most of its power is sealed, this little chill has no effect on it.

So, Taotie half-closed his eyes and carefully felt the soft touch of the snowflakes falling on his body.

Somehow it reminded it of a soft quilt.

Although one is cold and the other is warm.

……

Xiao Xiao admired the beautiful scenery of the first snowfall with some surprise for a while before he continued walking towards the dormitory building.

His steps were no longer as urgent as at the beginning, but became neither hurried nor slow.

The dark night was filled with a hazy white light because of the sudden heavy snow, as if all the evil spirits were driven away, and the world before one's eyes was clean and ethereal.

The dark forest on the side was also covered with a layer of smoky halo. It no longer looked like a dormant evil beast, but like a forest of elves in a fairy tale.

"Pfft~"

Xiao Xiao suddenly laughed.

He didn't know if there were elves in the forest, but there was a monster.

Thinking of the monster with poor sense of direction, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, it didn't wander around this time, but just walked to the entrance of the forest in a straight line, and met him by chance. Is it true that "silly monsters have good luck"?
……

I wonder if the monkey has fallen asleep yet? And whether he has missed the first snow?
Xiao Xiao felt a little regretful that he left early. Otherwise, it would have been a very interesting experience to enjoy the first snow of the year with Xihu.
I think the 猼訑 would like snow very much, right?

I don’t know why, but Xiao Xiao feels this way.

Now, does he also have an intuition about monsters?
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but lower his eyes and laugh.

……

On the other side, Xiao Xiao was sent away, then he laughed foolishly for a while, savoring the snacks he had eaten before, and helplessly found that he was extremely energetic.

It's getting dark and it's time to go to sleep.

I finally fell into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, my eyelids trembled and something cold fell on them.

When he opened his eyes in confusion, he saw snowflakes all over the sky.

The white is so pure and dazzling, falling down in large flakes with an almost leisurely trajectory.

Even the endless darkness of the night has become less gloomy, less oppressive, and more tolerant, revealing a little light.
