After a long sleep, I woke up in the room of the office. Zong Gu's first reaction was that he felt cold.
The window was transparent, and he looked at the air conditioner that was silent, and even the power indicator light went out.
Is there a power outage?
Kyoko was leaning behind him. Because of the cold, she hugged his body tightly, and her long loose hair covered most of her face.
Soya slowly turned over and pulled the thick cover up a little. Kyoko's head turned, but her eyes were still closed.
After looking at her for a while, Zong Gu looked elsewhere.
The room was not clear or dark, the light at the head of the bed was not on, and the only window was filled with bright white light.
He had a premonition, but it was not convenient to get up and open the window to verify it.
The cold was filled with the innermost small room of the social office. Soya compacted the quilt, looked at Kyoko again, raised her hand to put her long hair behind her ears.
Before going to bed, the air conditioner turned on, and the two of them slept casually, but they didn't expect that the power would be out of power when they woke up.
After lying for a while, Zong Gu touched his phone and looked at the time, and found that it was almost eight o'clock.
He felt tight, then relaxed again, looked at the bright window, "It should be okay today..."
“Um…”
Kyoko woke up.
Opening his eyes and stretching his body, she hugged him tightly again, "It's so cold."
Zong Gu turned over and pulled the quilt and hugged her.
“Have the air conditioner turned off?”
“It seems like there is a power outage.”
"Power outage..." Kyoko looked up at the window, "It's so bright outside."
"It should be snowing," Soya said. "The weather forecast last night said there would be snowfall in Kinki."
"The first snow after winter."
"Um."
"It seems that there is already a lot of snow outside."
"I'll take a look."
Zong Gu drilled out of the quilt and pressed her side again.
Open the window lock, pull it aside, and a cold wind poured in directly.
“…”
Zong Gu was blown to death and quickly closed the window some.
The gap that was wide enough for him to see the wind and snow courtyard outside.
"It's still going down."
"Is the snow accumulated deep?" Kyoko asked.
"It should be quite deep." Zong Gu looked at the vast ground. There was nothing that allowed him to directly judge the thickness of the snow with his naked eyes. "At least he could build a snowman."
He turned around and stroked her chest through the quilt.
“It’s so thick.”
“…”
Kyoko looked at him, then sat up, hugged him from behind, and wrapped each other tightly with a quilt, looking outside.
"What a heavy snow." She whispered.
"Um."
"Taki must be very happy."
Zong Gu smiled and tightened the quilt in front of him.
The lead clouds were sinking, the courtyard was covered with snow, and the vast white area was covered with whiteness. Kyoko looked outside, and her jaw pressed against his shoulder.
"I don't know if the heavy snow broke the wire."
"It may be just that the wires on the mountain were broken," said Tonoya.
"That's much more troublesome."
"Anyway, someone will come to repair it."
"uh-huh."
After looking for a while, the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes and squirted into the window. She lowered her head and rubbed behind his shoulders, "It's so cold."
Zong Gu closed the window, and the two of them fell back on the bed and lay for a while.
After the school festival, time passed quickly. It was late December in a blink of an eye, and the second semester and even this year were almost over.
He stayed here last night.
"When is it?" After lying for a while, Kyoko remembered to ask about the time.
"When I just watched it, it was almost eight o'clock."
She looked up at him, and Zong Gu stroked her back, and when his hand fell down, he touched her clothes from her waist.
"It's okay. With such heavy snow, the tram will probably be delayed or suspended."
Kyoko understood that he was unwilling to get up at such a time.
It seemed as if he wanted to hibernate too. After the winter began, Zong Gu became much lazy and sometimes even drowsy, but he himself was ignorant of this.
Holding down the hand that had already moved to his chest, Kyoko touched his lips, "I'll get up first."
"I will freeze to death by myself."
"Then Fangming gets up with me."
"Okay." Zong Gu sighed, lowered his head again, buried it in her chest and rubbed it a few times.
After changing into a winter uniform, washing up with the only little hot water left in the water heater, Zong Gu opened the door of the club office, the wind blew the snow, and his eyes were vast.
Kyoko stood behind him, staring at the traceless snow in the shrine, and stood in a daze for a while.
"It seems that the snow is very deep."
"Yes." Sonoya looked back at her bare legs under her uniform skirt, "Isn't it cold?"
"Just get used to it."
Locking the door of the club office, Sonoya walked into the snow, leaving his first footprint, and then turned around and reached out to Kyoko.
She pulled him, and the two walked towards the stairs in the soft snow.
"There are trees on both sides, so there shouldn't be too much snow on the stairs."
"There will be some."
"Hope not too slippery."
"Um."
The snow is still falling, but it is not heavy, and they are too lazy to hold an umbrella.
When I arrived at the stairs, there was indeed not much snow, but I needed to be more careful.
After letting go of Kyoko, Soya walked in front. The two of them carefully stepped on the snow-covered steps and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the foot of the mountain.
"In this case, probably no one will come to visit today."
"No, the snow on the stairs will sweep away."
"Fortunately, I'm not here to sweep it."
Kyoko smiled.
"It's probably Miss Noma who comes to sweep it today."
"It would be strange if she could sweep her, she would definitely push it to others."
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he walked past several families on the snow. Zong Gu deliberately peeked at him and quickly came to the conclusion.
"The lights are on, only the power outage in the mountains."
Kyoko sighed, "That's going to be troublesome."
"I'll contact the electric repairer later."
"Um."
When he arrived at Guan Yuan's house, he greeted Guan Yuan and his wife, Zong Gu sat down and ate the prepared breakfast.
"...The power outage? There are frequent winds and snowstorms recently, so Kyoko and Soya Jun should not live on the mountain." Mrs. Guanyuan said.
"It's fine."
Kyoko shook her head, and Mrs. Guanhara didn't say much.
Guanyuan Takayuki talked to Soya about changing the route to the shrine on the mountain.
"Every winter, this kind of thing happens when the snow is getting stronger. Just change the route again. The specific matter is left to Soya Kun. After all, you will be the Miyaji of the shrine in the future, so such a small thing should not be a problem. ?”
"No problem." Soya nodded, "I will contact the electric power company's people."
Guan Yuanlongxing also nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
After breakfast, Soya and Kyoko went out together and prepared to go to school.
Yuzi built a little snowman in the yard.
"elder brother!"
Zong Gu rolled a huge snowball for her, treating it as a snowman's body.
Putting the little snowman she piled onto the big snowball and treating it as her head, Zong Gu patted it around a few more times to make the snowman tighter, "Don't Yuzi go to school today?"
"The teacher called just now and said that there will be no class this morning and it will depend on the situation in the afternoon."
"It's so good, I want to be a primary school student, too."
There is no expression on Dangao.
"whee."
Saying goodbye to Tamako, Soya took Kyoko to the station.
The snow was deep, and it was inevitable that the tram would be delayed. Fortunately, it was not stopped. The two of them waited for a while before they welcomed a full tram.
I struggled to squeeze into the bus and got to Shanke to transfer, and the situation improved a little, although there were still no seats.
Soya stood in the corner, holding the handrail and sending a message, Kyoko leaning against him.
"Xian said they had already arrived at school... It was so early."
"Um."
The tram headed north, and it was already past the time when the first class in the morning began.
"Many people in the school didn't come. The decision now seems to be that they won't go to class in the morning. Those who have already come will study in the classroom."
Kyoko was not surprised, looked out the window and said, "If the snow doesn't stop, it's probably the same in the afternoon, and school will be over early."
Sonogu nodded and yawned again.
Shaking, the tram finally arrived at Omi Langhua Station.
The steps up the mountain have been swept by people, and snow piles on both sides, revealing wet steps.
Walking into the empty school, the two separated at the stairs on the second floor, and Zong Gu continued to go upstairs.
"Sure enough, there are not many people..."
When I arrived at the classroom, there were a few students sitting in it. After a rough glance, there were about ten people.
"Zonggu~"
Akane Kirino sat in his seat and waved to him.
"Are you here by the tram?" Zong Gu hung up his schoolbag and touched his face, Chao Wuling.
"Of course."
Akane Kirino took his cold hand and held it in his palm, "When we went out, the tram was shut down. It took a long time to recover. Mom was planning to drive us over."
"As a result, there will be no classes when you come to school."
"Um."
Akane Kirino gave up his seat and sat in the empty seat of another classmate who had not arrived next to him.
"Let's go play with snow."
"Don't you need to study by yourself?"
"There is no teacher here anyway."
Otherwise she wouldn't have come to their class.
"No, it's very cold outside."
Hongzi shrank in her seat, "I stayed in the classroom and my hands were cold."
Zong Gu looked up at the central air conditioner outlet above his head. Although he couldn't see it, he could vaguely feel the warm wind blowing on his face.
“The air conditioner is turned on.”
"That's how girls are."
"Akane's hands are very warm."
"Then you can hold Akane's hand."
Zong Gu smiled, held her hand, rubbed it in her hand, and breathed again.
"Let's go later. There are no people in the school now, so it's too conspicuous." He said to Akane Kirino.
She shook her legs, "Actually, there weren't many teachers."
"One can control you."
"All right."
Staying in the classroom until ninety o'clock, three or two more students came to Class A. As soon as Fumimi entered the classroom, she shouted that she shouldn't go out.
"The snow is still falling. It's already the end of the semester anyway, so there will definitely be no classes in the afternoon."
But he didn't plan to go back.
"I've come here. Besides, I have nothing to do when I go back so early - come and have some fun, I brought playing cards."
"...Why are you taking everything to school?"
When he came to the classroom as a teacher, Soya and Fushimi and several other students were sitting in the warmest place to play ghost cards.
He scratched his head with the attendance book, and Shibasaki Makoto said nothing.
"There are still only such people..."
"Acheng, there shouldn't be class in the afternoon, right?" a student asked.
"It's almost the same. But there is no notification at the school yet. Let's take a look at it at noon."
Looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, Shibasaki Makoto said again: "Don't run around, just stay in the classroom... Kirino, what do you want to say?"
Akane Kirino raised her hand, "Can you go out to play with the snow?"
He was a little helpless, "I mean I can't play with snow..."
"If you don't go to the school gate, you just have a courtyard to play on the playground. There should be no danger."
"If it's class time, the teacher can't watch you go out and play."
"Hey, that's what it means..."
Hongzi pulled her for a moment, and Akane Kirino immediately stopped.
After recording several students who had arrived at the school, Shibasaki Makoto soon left the classroom.
"What Acheng meant just now was that if the teacher didn't see it, he wouldn't stop us from playing with snow, right?"
Hongzi smiled, "You can understand this too."
"Then let's go down!"
"Ha..." She breathed in her palms, then looked at Zong Gu who was drawing ghost cards, "pull him up too."
"certainly."
Chao Wuling had already gone to the library and pulled Zonggu up, and the three of them came to the playground.
"The snow is so thick! Hahaha--"
Akane Kirino rolled on the ground with joy.
They are not the only ones who "secretly" come over to play with snow. They gather in the corner, pile up snowmen or smash snowballs at each other.
Bang, a snowball hit the body and spread out directly.
“…”
Zong Gu turned his head and looked at him, Hongzi looked at him with a smile, pinching the second snowball.
He also bent down and pinched a snowball, which was about the same size as hers.
Hongzi planned to escape at first, but stepped on the snow, but couldn't run, so she gave up, "If you dare to hit me with that snowball, I'll die for you."
Zong Gu pinched it tighter again, feeling it was almost done, so he lifted the snowball up.
"ah--"
Hongzi closed her eyes and screamed, and a huge snowball flew over her head.
"It's so big, I'll really die!"
Turning his head and looking at the snowball behind her, she squatted down and kept hitting him with the snow ball.
"So I squeezed it tightly before I threw it out." Zong Gu smiled, went over to pick up the big snowball, and rolled on the ground.
After rolling for a while, patting the snow tightly, rolling for a while, and then taking a few more shots, the snowball becomes bigger and bigger.
"Does Soya want to build a snowman?" Akane Kirino soon saw his plan.
"Um."
"I'll help too~"
"Then you should be the head of a snowman."
"OK."
"Hongzi went to find something that could be used as eyes, nose and mouth."
"Where to find it..."
The three of them were busy in the snow.
On the second floor, in the classroom of Class A of the second year, Kyoko heard the familiar laughter coming from below, and walked to the window and looked for a while.
Zong Gu quickly saw this side, waved to her, and she also raised her hand to respond.
Akane Kirino also noticed her: "Senior sister, do you want to come down and play for a while-"
Kyoko shook her head.
"All right."
The girl kept rolling snowballs without changing her joy.
"Xiang, it's almost done. I can't move such a big head."
"Let's move together."
I played until noon, and almost the entire playground became a mess, and the three of them returned to the classroom.
Soya did not return overnight, and Akane Kirino prepared the bento.
After lunch, the snow is still falling.
Looking at the huge snowman on the playground, Akane Kirino was very satisfied, but her hands were frozen red and she didn't have the interest to continue playing for the time being.
"What should I do in the afternoon, but there is still no notice."
"Anyway, we're staying in school. If we don't have any notifications, we'll go back until the time is right."
"Yeah. Let's go to the library to find the bell."
"It's OK."
The air conditioner turned on for a whole morning, and the classroom was already very warm. As soon as I walked out, the three of them shook.
There was also some snow falling in the corridor, and Zong Gu asked the two of them to walk inside, "I just looked at the weather forecast. This snow may not stop until the evening."
"The first snow after winter is so heavy, it must be very cold this winter." Akane Kirino said.
"Is there such a statement?"
"I thought so."
"If it is confirmed, it will be called 'Kito Akane'."
"Ha ha."
When I came to the library, it was deserted than before, and both Aomizu and Aomiya senior sister stayed here.
The second semester is about to end, and there is no pressure for the exam for the time being. The three of them each found a free book and read it.
"What book did Soya read... "I am a Cat", Natsume Soseki's book."
"Yeah, I'll take it casually."
Zong Gu's location was facing the air outlet of the air conditioner. The warm wind blew on his face, making him yawn repeatedly, and soon fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long it took, but he woke up from his sleep, and only Chaowuling was left on the table.
Hongko and Akane Kirino were both standing in front of the bookshelf, while Senior Amamiya was standing next to them, as if she was talking to them.
After yawning, Zong Gu wiped his face, and the second yawn came up.
"Ha...how long have I slept?"
"More than an hour." Chao Wuling looked at him, his eyes still.
"So long...no wonder I have sore back."
Sonoya moved a little.
"You've become more and more lethargic lately."
"Is that right? Maybe I slept a little late last night." Soya said, "It's better to sleep in winter."
He shook his head at Wuling, his face as deep as water.
"There is less than ten days left, and it's the New Year."
"Yes." Soya didn't want her to feel that she was too sleepy and suppressed her desire to yawn. "Time flies so fast."
"But you still haven't found the big thunder."
"Mr. Yuedu is already working hard..."
“No time.”
Zong Gu looked at her, "The teacher wouldn't really kill Master Yuedu again because of this."
"You will die at that time." Chao Wuling said.
It was difficult for him to take this matter seriously, just as her spur. "Even if Ling said this, I can't find Da Lei in such a short time."
Chao Wuling also understood this point, and there was nothing else to say except silence.
"After that being said, the teacher has been in the underworld for more than three months," Zong Gu said.
"Um."
"Have you never left?"
"Yeah." She looked at him again, "I'll come out lately."
"Yeah."
Zong Gu did not ask much, Chao Wuling was silent, and the heavy snow outside the window was still there.
On the other side of Lake Biwa, Yuedu floats in the air, and the wind and snow are hard to touch.
He closed his eyes, held the mirror of the true scriptures in his hand, and countless five-yuan coins surrounded him and weaved a big net.
“No time…”
The next moment, the giant net disintegrated and flew away in all directions.
