Chapter 149: Frost Vision
Although the cold wind mixed with frost continued to attack everything, the plant seemed to be protected by the Star Protection Amulet, and was not affected at all, and it grew rapidly. It was now taller than his waist and was catching up with his height. The plant no longer looked like a single seedling before, not only did it branch out into many branches, but it also grew many leaves.
At this time, the white frost on the lotus rockery became thicker, and a magical scene appeared. The white frost on the lotus rockery was actually imitating the appearance of the plant, and quickly condensed into branches and leaves.
Then, when the plant buds appeared, the ice flowers condensed from the white frost also bloomed. The appearance of the ice flowers was very strange. There were three layers from the outermost layer to the core of the flower, and each layer had five petals. The petals were not in the form of transparent crystals but white fluff. Each petal had a small amount of yellow lines. The pale yellow light appeared and disappeared under the swing of those yellow lines.
At this time, the man stopped his hand and looked at the yellow ice flower condensed from the frost with deep affection. The little girl also threw herself into the man's arms and looked at the magical yellow ice flower together.
"Mom! Xiao Lian and Dad miss you!" The little girl suddenly waved excitedly at the yellow ice flower in front of her. Then, she pouted with a wronged look on her face: "If I don't go to school, I can talk to you every day. But if I don't go to school, Dad will be unhappy and won't let me talk to you!"
"Don't worry, mom. Xiao Lian gets along well with her classmates at school. Although Xiao Lian is a little cold demon, my classmates all praise me as a little sun. I am very happy every day. By the way, the weather here is getting colder. It feels like mom is always by my side. If mom misses Xiao Lian, just feel the cold wind around you. Xiao Lian will always be with you."
"Also, Daddy said you can come back when I grow up. Mom, do you know? I have dreamed of our family reunion several times! I am really looking forward to that day. Xiaolian knows that mommy had to separate from us because she had no choice. Although Xiaolian is not very old now, she is a good child who doesn't cry or make a fuss. Daddy is very hard-working alone, so I have to work hard too!"
Because the frost in the yard had covered the entire yard, Bai Lingshan was blocked by the frost on the glass and could no longer see the changes on their facial expressions. She could only listen to the rising and falling voices to guess their actions.
The person did not speak, as if it was just a little girl's personal statement. Bai Lingshan looked at Yu Hongye in confusion, only to see that Yu Hongye had his eyes closed, as if everything in the courtyard had nothing to do with him.
"Dad, can this flower really convey our words to mom?" At this time, the voice of the little girl in the yard attracted Bai Lingshan again, but the man hesitated to speak when the little girl asked this question. After a full minute, the man responded with a hoarse voice: "Of course, Xiao Lian can say whatever you want to say." The man hugged the little girl under his shoulders and gently patted the ice flowers on the little girl's sleeves. His face was filled with a kind smile from a father, and the existence of this smile made his state with traces of time more obvious.
The little girl believed her father's words, but the days without her mother's response also made the little girl have a little doubt: "Since mom misses us, why didn't she tell us for so long?" The little girl said lightly, but she still looked forward to the moment when her mother stood in front of her one day in the future. "Mom must miss us there now. The ice flower on the rockery has the figure of mom..." She and her mother are both cold monsters, but when she was very young, her mother returned to the monster world and never came back since then. Until a few weeks ago, her father took her to see this ice flower. Dad said that the ice flower could convey their words to her mother. From that moment on, every week after school, she had endless words to tell this ice flower.
"...Xiao Lian." The man looked at his daughter, who was in tears, and felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart. The tears finally flowed down.
"Mom, don't be sad over there. If Xiao Lian misses you, just look at the ice flowers on the rockery. Xiao Lian will study hard. When mom comes back, I will definitely let you see that Xiao Lian is as good as others!" At this time, the man hugged the little girl's shoulders with both hands, squatted down with his body that could support her, and looked up at the little girl with firm belief: "Dad promises you that he will never let you lose everything about mom again." "Dad..." The little girl blinked blankly, seemingly unable to understand what her father meant. But the hardness in the man's eyes seemed to have made a decision. "Dad has guests coming. Xiao Lian will go to the bedroom to do some homework first. After the guests leave, Dad will make you Xiao Lian's favorite grilled fish, okay?" The little girl nodded, and her warm big hands wiped her tears. At this time, her father's tone was extremely gentle.
"Dad, what kind of guest is this?"
The man smiled and said, "Xiao Lian, you haven't seen this before. Xiao Lian will go do her homework first. She may need to do something with the guests in the yard later, which may disturb Xiao Lian's study."
"It's okay, Xiao Lian can use the air mask that dad taught me to block out the noise." Xiao Lian grinned and waved her hands in front of her. A blue light shield flashed over her. Then she patted the schoolbag behind her: "Then Dad, I'm going to study!" Before leaving, the little girl looked at the lotus rockery in the pond. The yellow-striped ice flowers condensed by frost on the rockery swayed gently.
"Mom! Xiao Lian originally had many more things to say to you, but Dad has guests coming, so I can't talk to you anymore. Xiao Lian is going to study first, and I will talk to you for several hours later!" Seeing her father looking at her tenderly, the little girl waved her hand, picked up her schoolbag and ran to a room.
In the room separated by a window, Yu Hongye sighed softly and said, "Go out." Bai Lingshan followed him.
There was still wind and snow outside. The moment she opened the door, Bai Lingshan still used Star Protection.
The ground in the yard was covered with snow. If she hadn't seen the various behaviors at that time with her own eyes, she really couldn't imagine that this was a very normal yard a few minutes ago.
The ice flowers on the lotus rockery are still there, but without the windows covered with ice and snow, everything unusual in the courtyard can be seen particularly clearly.
The man was still facing the ice flowers on the lotus rockery, but the plant next to him was gone.
