Zhao Zijian and Xie Yuqing were sitting in the front and back seats, not talking, and seemed to enjoy the moment of driving on a quiet road.

We arrived at the station very quickly.

The two got off the car together, and Zhao Zijian said: "Go back, I'm waiting for the bus here and will watch you go back!"

Xie Yuqing said: "I'll wait for the bus with you."

Zhao Zijian smiled and said, "No need. It's only early nine o'clock. There must be a car. Go back. It's so cold here and you're not wearing thick clothes. Don't catch a cold. Go back!"

Xie Yuqing seemed to want to say something, but hesitated and finally nodded.

But just after she turned around and walked out a few steps, she stood down again, turned around and looked at Zhao Zijian, walked back slowly, stood in front of Zhao Zijian, opened her arms and hugged him gently.

Zhao Zijian didn't move and let her hold him.

After a while, he heard a little sobbing.

But soon Xie Yuqing let go of him, raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, pursed her lips and smiled. After a moment, she said softly: "Thank you, Zhao Zijian!"

Then she turned around, stepped on the snow, and walked towards the white village.
