That was a long time ago.

Ruan Xiang was dead at that time.

Traces of her existence were completely wiped out from the world. Even if someone occasionally recalled Ruan Xiang's past, it was just a little ashes in their hearts that would be blown away.

She woke up in the surface world.

A world only for the dead.

But all her memories come from the world of the living.

She still remembered that day when it snowed heavily, and Li Yixian slowly turned into ashes and scattered in the endless falling snowflakes.

I can't tell whether it is ashes or snowflakes.

Occasionally she would think of Li Yixian.

She knew that she and Li Yixian should not have interacted, just because she had fallen into many delusions, dreaming up this dramatic and ridiculous story.

now,

She saw Li Yixian again.

Ruan Xiang doesn't know if this is delusion or reality.

She only saw Li Yixian and Li Yichen standing side by side, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance. They were both young men in spring clothes, and their splendor could not be concealed.

but,

so far……

It's still snowing heavily now, with a biting wind piercing my bones, and the snow blowing against my face.

Ruan Xiang walked forward with difficulty step by step.

But it's still hard to get close to.

She fell to the ground and was buried in the wind and snow.

In the end, she could only stretch out her hand in the direction of Li Yixian, but she couldn't catch anything. Only the overwhelming snow drowned her deeply.

Until her whole body was covered with pale snow,

There is no trace of the past.

…

Ruan Xiang is a very cowardly person.

She clearly knew...but never dared to mention it.

I hate the memories countless times, but I dare not forget them no matter what. I just think that as time goes by slowly, the sores in my heart will one day heal.

That's what she thought.

Can……

It's very difficult.

she remembers,

That night, the moon was as cold as water, and the alleys were winding.

Ruan Xiang seems to have been abandoned here.

People around her were coming and going, speaking some obscure words. She tried hard to identify them, but the sounds that fell into her ears eventually turned into an unpleasant murmur.

In fact, Ruan Xiang doesn't like winter.

Ever since she was a child, she has always preferred spring scenery.

Maybe it's because she was born in spring, or because the spring breeze has always been gentle, and she likes all gentleness.

Apart from……

Snowy winter.

It doesn’t snow every year in the ancient city of Haizhou, but every year when it snows, there is a heavy snowfall. The entire long street is covered with white snow, and it is covered with snow as far as the eye can see.

"I like it very much..." At that time, Qing Yi's eyes followed the window and looked out, looking at the white world, his eyes lit up, "I want to go out and play."

Then he pulled Ruan Xiang over,

The two of them did not enter the vast snow.

That was a heavy snowfall that will remain in Ruan Xiang’s memory forever.

after that,

There was no snow this winter,

There is no Tsing Yi either.

Ruan Xiang was walking on the road with the help of a pale street lamp. He could hear people talking around him, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

She doesn't look back, she just heads forward.

She just wants to go home.

Even if I haven’t been back for a long time...

The moment he opened the door, Ruan Xiang thought he would see a mottled white cat huddled in a corner.

But no more.

Will not come back again.

Ruan Xiang used to like to call it Xiaobai.

At that time, someone asked her: "Because it is a white cat, is it called Xiaobai?"

Ruan Xiangyi argued righteously: "Xiao Bai's full name is Bai Xue, but he disliked the late spring, so he went through the trees in the garden to make flying flowers. However, the name was too long, so I chose a short name."

"Okay, okay, I believe it."

I don’t know how long it took, maybe months, maybe years.

Later, the man asked again: "What is Xiaobai's name?"

"Uh..." Ruan Xiang racked his brains and thought for a long time, "Maybe... Bai Yu jumped into the boat with his beads?"

She also forgot.

So the man laughed: "That's not what you said last time."

I don’t know why,

Insignificant memories always surfaced in his mind inadvertently, but Ruan Xiang couldn't remember the memories he desperately wanted to retrieve.

She was afraid that one day she would forget all those precious memories, but she could still think of some trivial and irrelevant things.

But some things can never be forgotten no matter what.

Just like that heavy snowfall one day.

Not only did it cover the long street,

It also covers Ruan Xiang’s heart.

Sometimes the memory is not so clear,

Just like that night, the dim lights reflected bottles and cans in the blue and white corridor, and it seemed like a dream was sealed at the end of the corridor.

It's very cold...

Ruan Xiang took her hand,

I really want to ask her,

Why is it that I am the only one who doesn’t know?

But my palms feel cold to the touch.

So she couldn't ask anymore.

The street lights that night were still dim, and she slumped on the stairs, hugging herself, taking out her phone but not knowing who she was looking for.

Except crying,

I no longer know what to do.

Ruan Xiang was wondering what else she had left besides these memories.

Is there nothing left?

If there is,

Why can't she find it?

…

When Ruan Xiang woke up again,

Being in someone's arms, it felt warm and comfortable, as if she had fallen into the warm and fragrant jade, which made her unable to bear to let go.

"Are you dreaming?" Someone asked with a half-smile.

Ruan Xiang opened his eyes and found that he was in a room with a stove. Although it was windy and snowy outside, the room was still warm and pleasant.

She fell into the woman's arms, and the person speaking next to her was Li Yixian, who should have turned into ashes and drifted away.

"...?" She blinked slightly doubtfully.

Li Yixian pulled Li Yichen, who was holding his arms beside him, and said, "This is the outside world. This is my second brother, and she is my second daughter."

The woman holding Ruan Xiang smiled softly: "The wind and snow haven't stopped outside, so why not stay here first."

Li Yixian's second daughter, Li Wanshun, the head of Wenxi County.
