The cold wind blew through the wasteland and lifted up the brim of Lina's wide hat. She couldn't help but reach out to help it up. This pink hat paired with a pink dress further accentuated the girlish atmosphere, bringing a sense of warmth to the seemingly aloof and cold wasteland.
The overlapping patterns are as pleasing to the eye as they are drawn.
"It's a deal~" Linna arranged her long brown hair that had been blown by the wind, looked at the mountains in the distance, smiled lightly, her voice was calm but full of emotion.
"Since I promised you, I will do it." Werther turned his face sideways, his cheeks that were slightly hurt by the cold wind turned light red, his brown eyes were shining, his eyes were firm and serious, "If it didn't snow heavily today,
, then, when it snows heavily, I will definitely watch the snow here with you."
Lina also turned her head and looked at him with her green eyes, and their faces became increasingly red.
After looking at each other for a long time, Lina put her hand to her mouth, lowered her head slightly, smiled softly, and even her shoulders trembled.
"Hmm, is there something on my face?" Werther shyly touched his cold cheek.
"Your face is so red~"
"Haha, that was blown by the cold wind~"
"In this case..." Lina said, walked behind him, stood on tiptoes, and put her gloved hands on his cheeks, "Although my gloves are not very warm, they should be warmer than
Warm your face, I hope it will make you feel better."
Werther couldn't help but be moved, and he became much warmer.
"It looks like you're not cold anymore." Lina let go of her hand and walked in front of him. She was surprised to find that his face turned redder and he was stunned. Lina couldn't help but waved in front of his face anxiously.
Handkerchief, "Ah, what's wrong with you? Do you need to go see a doctor?"
"Well, I'm fine." After Werther came to his senses, he deliberately pretended to be calm and said, "Why don't we get into the carriage and wait, it's still a little cold here."
"Well, okay."
Linna sat in the carriage with him and waited quietly for the arrival of the heavy snow. The two were embarrassed and shy and did not dare to make a sound. The carriage was surprisingly quiet, and they could even hear the breeze blowing dry branches and grass outside.
Clearly.
The two of them breathed slowly, perhaps because they liked each other, and they could even feel each other's heartbeat.
It's better to say something, Werther thought to himself. It would be too embarrassing to say nothing, but what should I say that would not be rude and make her happy.
Suddenly, he saw something like a shell not far away, and said excitedly: "Well, look, there is such a thing in this wasteland~"
Linna looked in the direction of his finger. Since her view was blocked by the tree stump, she saw a piece of cloth hanging on the tree stump. It had become somewhat torn after being exposed to wind and rain for a long time and was stained with many stains.
of dust.
She mistakenly thought that Werther was referring to the tattered piece of clothing, and she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat: "Uh, why are you so excited?"
"It looks really beautiful, haha~ I think you would like something like that. If you like it, I can pick it up and give it to you, or clean it and give it to you."
"..." Lina stared outside in stunned silence. At this moment, she felt extremely cold from the inside out, and her body was trembling.
When Werther saw that she was silent, he thought she was shy, so he smiled softly, jumped off the carriage, and walked outside the window next to her: "I knew you liked it, so I'll get it for you. Just wait."
"Hey!" Linna stretched out her hand outside and watched in shock as he ran towards the tree stump. Unexpectedly, he did not stop beside the tree stump.
Instead of staying, go around to the front of the stump.
"Huh? Isn't he going to pick up that piece of clothing?" Linna looked at his figure blankly, and couldn't help but feel a little expectation in her heart.
Werther bent down, picked up something from the ground, and ran over. When he reached the window, he stopped panting and held out his hand: "I brought it."
Lina couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and saw him let go of his hand, and a stone that looked like a shell fell on Lina's white palm. It was a pink fan-shaped stone, small and cute, which made people very happy to see it.
"How did this come to be? How can it be so beautiful?" Lina said excitedly, with stars in her green eyes.
Werther smiled proudly, put his hands on the back of his head, and said calmly: "Of course nature turned it into this beautiful appearance, but I discovered it."
"You have really good eyesight."
"Hey, if it weren't for the magic that gradually improved my eyesight, I wouldn't have been able to spot such a small stone so far away. Fortunately, this stone looks cleaner, unlike the surrounding small stones that are stuck in the soil and have been seen.
It’s no longer the original color.”
Lina's face was slightly red, and she held the stone carefully. Her heartbeat quickened. She involuntarily raised her head and met Werther's glowing eyes. This seemed to express the feelings between the two of them.
Shy yet touching, warm yet ignorant.
"Maybe it can really be made into a necklace." She said softly.
At this moment, the stone cracked in half, which really shocked the two of them. Looking carefully at the cracks, it seemed that they were already there. After years of wind and rain, the cracks formed naturally and were just damaged by the wind and rain.
When they touched it with their hands, the stone completely broke in two.
"How could this happen?" Lina's voice trembled nervously, "This is a unique stone you gave me, why did it break into two pieces?"
Werther smiled calmly and comforted: "It's okay, wouldn't it be better this way?"
"What do you mean?" Lina raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes filled with nervousness and confusion.
"In this way, you take half and I take half, and we will each have half a stone. When we put the two pieces together, it will be complete." The sky gradually became clearer, and Werther smiled at this time.
It must be brighter than the sunshine in the sky.
Lina lowered her head shyly, her eyes sparkling. She gently touched the two stone fragments and murmured in a low voice: "We own half of it separately. When put together, it becomes complete. It's really touching."
All the dark clouds dispersed, and the sunshine began to become a bit dazzling. A ray of sunshine happened to shine into Lina's eyes from the window, and she immediately turned her face to the other side.
Seeing this, Werther thoughtfully helped her close the curtains.
"Maybe it won't snow heavily today."
"Well, I think so. Why don't you go back and have a good rest in the carriage while I drive for you."
Werther sat on the driver's seat, glanced at the scenery behind him with nostalgia, and then drove in the direction of the castle.
Twenty minutes later, they finally returned to the castle. Linna got off the carriage and ran in excitedly. After Werther put the carriage away, he walked in and found that she had already found the tools for making necklaces and started
Started working in front of the stove.
He walked slowly behind her and looked at her serious expression quietly. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, so he poured a cup of coffee for her himself and handed it to her.
"It was very cold when you were outside just now. Drink some." His tone was gentle, and the flames reflected his beautiful eyes.
color.
"After all, I drank blood before I went out. It's not particularly cold. You are much colder than me, so you should drink it." Lina continued to make the necklace with her head lowered, her hands being careful not to damage the stone.
Werther smiled and drank the coffee himself. He was about to take the cup to wash when he turned around and saw Carla standing behind them angrily.
Kara didn't hold anything in her hand, but there was a broom lying on the ground in the far corner. It could be seen that she was cleaning, but when she saw Werther and Lina being so close, she left the broom in her hand on the ground and angrily
come over.
"Well, Kara, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" Although Werther guessed the reason for her anger, he still asked.
"Of course it's Lina, the idiot!" Carla said righteously, "Your Highness, an hour ago, I was in the warehouse to check whether Lina had filtered the wheat husks, but I found that most of them had not been filtered.
Damn it, how can you make fine flour from such wheat? She is really going too far. She can’t even do such a small thing. Your Highness, you have to punish her!"
Lina looked at her in surprise, stood up and said: "I have filtered the wheat husks clean, how could most of them still be mixed in? You clearly said that on purpose!"
When Werther was putting the carriage away, he passed by the warehouse and saw the wheat piled outside the warehouse. It was indeed clean. He frowned and said, "Since what you said is different, just take me to the warehouse and take a look."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take you there now. Please come with me."
Kara shyly stretched out her hand, but Werther completely ignored her and just walked straight towards the warehouse.
Arriving at the warehouse, Werther was surprised to find that there was a lot of husks mixed in the wheat just now. Who made these? Could it be to frame Lina?
"Your Highness, you see, this is what Lina did. She can't help but be stupid and lazy. It's better to drive her out of the castle." Kara encouraged Werther with excitement.
Werther was very angry at Carla's actions, but he still did not show his inner anger. He just said calmly: "It's strange, these wheats have been filtered, how come there is so much in less than ten minutes?"
With so much wheat husks, someone must have added it intentionally. If I find this person, I will punish him severely."
Kara's face changed. She didn't expect the lord to say this. She could only say: "It turns out that someone deliberately added wheat bran to it. Haha, I thought it was Lina's problem. After all, she is usually clumsy.
clever."
It was really too much to dare to say that. The more Werther saw her acting towards Lina, the more awkward he felt.
Werther crossed his arms in front of his chest and pretended to think: "Well, I remember, it was originally your task to filter the wheat. Why didn't you do it and asked Lina to do it for you instead?"
Hearing this, Kara suddenly took a breath of cold air, didn't know what to say, and even trembled with fear.
Werther sighed and continued: "Lina has other tasks to do on weekdays. She does everything very well and helps me a lot. It is impossible for me to kick her out as a capable helper."
Castle, on the other hand, you do the least every day and don’t forget to sow discord between me and Lina. What is your purpose?”
"I, I just think about you."
"If it's for me, just do your job well, and don't provoke Lina anymore. That's it, hurry up and re-filter the wheat. I'll go in first."
After saying wow, Werther took Lina and walked back to the castle.
