Chapter 212 First Snow
As winter approaches, the temperature in Saihanba is getting lower and lower.
Finally, the first heavy snow began to fall.
The entire Saihanba area was covered in silver, resembling a pure white fairytale world.
"Ah, it's snowing!"
Sui Zhichao's voice came from the dugout, carrying a hint of surprise and excitement.
He strode out, looked up at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, and smiled broadly.
Snowflakes landed on his face, instantly turning into a crystal-clear droplet of water, as if it were a gift from winter.
At this moment, Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan were busy at the camp.
They held brooms and diligently swept away the snow.
Their figures stood out resolutely against the snow, as if they had blended into the snowy landscape.
"Morning!"
Upon seeing the two, Sui Zhichao quickly walked over and greeted them warmly.
"Captain, it's Feng Cheng!"
"Snow shoveling?"
"Thank you both for your hard work!"
Zhao Tianshan straightened up and responded with a smile.
"It's not hard work. If the snow isn't cleared in time, it will pile up thick and make it difficult to walk."
"You know what, Yan Xiangli's weather forecasts are surprisingly accurate!"
"They say it's cold this year, but it's not even the ninth month of the lunar calendar yet, and it's already snowing so heavily."
When Yan Xiangli was mentioned, Sui Zhichao's tone carried a complex emotion.
There was an acknowledgment of the accuracy of his predictions, but also some indescribable implications.
Then, he shouted into the distance.
"Yan Xiangli, Yan Xiangli!"
"I wish you a speedy rise to prominence, maybe even becoming the Minister of Meteorology!"
However, his tone was full of sarcasm, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction with Yan Xiangli's desertion.
"Sui Zhichao, have you forgotten what I said a few days ago?"
Da Kui's voice came from the direction of the dormitory, filled with obvious anger.
"Never mention the name Yan Xiangli again."
"Don't you ever learn your lesson? Believe me or not, I'll smash you!"
Da Kui strode out of the dormitory, his brows furrowed.
His eyes revealed an unnamed rage.
Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan exchanged a glance, and were about to step forward to persuade them when they heard Xia Tian's voice from not far away.
"Da Kui, who are you going to throw?"
Summer's crisp, powerful sound broke the tense atmosphere.
When Da Kui heard Xia Tian's voice, he was furious.
The anger in my heart subsided instantly.
He explained quickly.
"Commander Xia, I was just joking with Sui Zhichao."
"Right, Zhichao!"
As he spoke, he quickly cast a pleading look at Sui Zhichao, hoping he could smooth things over.
"Yes, Commander Xia, we were just joking."
Sui Zhichao, seeing the look Da Kui was giving him, understood immediately and quickly offered an explanation.
"Come, follow me!"
After Xia Tian finished speaking, he led the four of them toward the cafeteria.
Everyone remained silent along the way, each lost in their own thoughts.
Only the snow underfoot made a "crunching" sound, as if telling the story of this winter.
After the four of them sat down in the cafeteria, Xia Tian didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"Yan Xiangli's departure was a huge blow to Ji Xiurong!"
"Based on Comrade Xuemei's report over the past two days, Ji Xiurong's condition is very bad."
"It made it so that the girls who lived with them couldn't sleep well either."
"When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was terrified to see Ji Xiurong staring at me with her eyes wide open."
Summer's tone was full of worry. He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Based on my judgment, Ji Xiurong has suffered too much of a blow and has developed a mental illness."
"But I don't have a particularly good solution to this mental problem."
"The reason I called you here is quite simple."
"We need to brainstorm and see what solutions we can come up with to resolve Ji Xiurong's problem."
Xia Tian briefly explained Ji Xiurong's situation to the people sitting down.
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. The cafeteria was so quiet that the only sound could be the snowflakes falling outside the window.
"Xia Gong, are you saying that Ji Xiurong's problem is psychological?"
After listening to Xia Tian's account, Feng Cheng spoke first, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Yes, Ji Xiurong's situation is similar to yours. Do you have any suggestions?"
When Xia Tian heard Feng Cheng's words, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness.
He thought to himself, "Isn't there a ready-made example?"
Xia Tian said that Feng Cheng and Ji Xiurong were in similar situations.
A burning desire for gossip ignited in the eyes of Zhao Tianshan and his two companions.
"Commander Xia, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Feng Cheng?"
Sui Zhichao asked with a look of curiosity, his face full of anticipation for the topic.
Upon hearing Sui Zhichao's words, Xia Tian's face darkened, and he said seriously.
"I called you here to come and come up with a solution, not to gossip."
Hearing Xia Tian's reprimand, Sui Zhichao silently lowered his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
But he was still very curious about Feng Cheng's situation.
"Besides, you should ask Feng Cheng about this. Why are you asking me?"
Summer continued.
Hearing Xia Tian's last words, Sui Zhichao looked at Feng Cheng again, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Mr. Xia, please stop joking with me."
Feng Cheng listened to Xia Tian's words, gave a bitter smile, and then spoke.
"As for Comrade Ji Xiurong's problem, it's up to her to figure it out herself."
“If she can’t figure it out herself, even if a celestial being came, it wouldn’t help.”
"But to forget someone, unless..."
"Unless someone else takes his place in Ji Xiurong's heart."
Xia Tian picked up where Feng Cheng left off, while glancing at Da Kui, who was standing to the side in a daze.
The other three followed Xia Tian's gaze and looked at Da Kui standing to the side.
Da Kui noticed the way everyone was looking at him and snapped out of his daze.
"Da Kui, what are your thoughts on Comrade Ji Xiurong's matter?"
Xia Tian asked softly, her tone tinged with anticipation.
Da Kui shook his head as he listened to Xia Tian's words, a helpless expression on his face.
"I do not know either."
"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you."
"Ever since I came to the dam, Xiurong has never given me a kind look."
Even though that bastard Yan Xiangli has already left.
"After that incident that day, I thought about it a lot."
"I'm happy as long as Xiurong is happy."
"But now that bastard Yan Xiangli is gone just like that."
"Seeing Xiurong so depressed makes me feel bad too."
As Da Kui spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
His voice was choked with emotion, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.
