"Otome, you have to hold on."
At the foot of a snowy mountain, these words kept coming out of a house.
"Please, Xue Li. This child is the last thing I have left for Lord Li Ban.”
A woman with long black hair looked at the child in her arms gently and said to a woman in a white kimono beside her.
However, the child in her arms seemed to be lifeless except for his weak breathing.
"Otome, you won't die. That lord is still waiting for you.”
The woman in the white kimono said.
"No, in order for this child to live, I will use my life in exchange. So, I'll leave it to you, Sherri. At least let him grow up.”
A weak black-haired woman pleaded with the woman in the white kimono.
"Otome, you…"
Hearing the black-haired woman's words, the woman in the white kimono was speechless.
Just like that, the two of them fell into silence. Only the whistling of the wind and snow could be heard.
"Ahem, my time is almost up. Xue Li, you have to promise me.”
The black-haired woman, who was even weaker, pleaded again.
"I promise you, Otome."
The woman in the white kimono finally agreed.
"Hey, Xiao Ye, you must live well. Mommy will always be watching over you.”
The black-haired woman closed her eyes. No matter how much the woman in the white kimono called out, the black-haired woman did not open her eyes again.
The child in her arms also had tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes.
It was as if he understood everything. He understood that the person who had died was his mother.
Finally, the woman in the white kimono carried the child out of the house.
Looking at the child in her arms, the woman in the white kimono sighed and left, disappearing into the snow.
Ten years later.
It was still at the foot of the snow mountain.
The house still stood there.
Unlike ten years ago, there was no howling wind and snow this time. There was only the beautiful snow scene.
"Hey, Xiao Ye, come play with me.”
A little girl with yellow eyes and long, straight hair that gradually darkened behind light blue clothes, wearing a white kimono, threw herself on the back of a little boy who was about the same age as her and said coquettishly.
"Alright, Bing Li, Auntie Xue Li is calling us over!”
The little boy turned his head and said to the little girl on his back.
He had long black hair, golden eyes, and a handsome face. Although he was a little paralyzed, it did not ruin this harmonious scene.
"Seriously, Mom is always like this. How annoying.”Bing Li jumped down from Night's back and said in disappointment.
"It's okay. I'll play with you next time.”
Ye suddenly said, perhaps seeing Bing Li's disappointment.
"Yay, I knew Xiao Ye was the best. Bing Li loves Xiao Ye the most.”
Bing Li once again jumped onto Night's back and said happily. Night shook his head helplessly and carried Bing Li towards the small house not far away.
"Xiao Ye, why do you think Mommy is looking for us?”
Bing Li asked as she lay on Night's back.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because of something special.”
Night thought for a moment and then answered, but she was thinking about something else.
