The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"Beep...beep..."

The busy signal came on three times through the receiver.

connected.

"Feed? Moses Moses?"

A boy's lazy voice came from the other end of the receiver, mixed with the whistling wind. It sounded a little distorted, but it dispelled the chill that surrounded Li Zhiyi.

Holding the brand-new phone, Li Zhiyi stood in the wind and snow, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to greet anyone.

"Speak up, who is it?"

The voice on the other end rose a few decibels, "If you don't say something, I'm hanging up. This awful weather is so cold my phone is about to shut down."

Li Zhiyi snapped out of her daze and quickly held the phone close to her ear.

"Chen Zhi..."

Her voice trembled slightly, whether from the cold or from nervousness, she couldn't tell, "It's me, Li Zhiyi."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, the lazy tone became cheerful.

"Why is Zhiyi calling me?"

Li Zhiyi looked down at the snow at her feet, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

"Grandpa let me come out to play."

She paused, her voice lowered, tinged with a hint of uncertainty, "Chen Zhi, where are you?"

"We are in the city park."

Chen Zhi's voice, accompanied by the crunch of snow underfoot, said, "That crazy woman Lin Wanwan insists on building a snowman, she's turning this place into a construction site. Want to come?"

"We're going to build a huge snowman."

These words were like a spark that landed in Li Zhiyi's heart.

"want!"

Her answer was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, then hurry up, or the snow will be ruined by this girl."

hang up the phone.

She looked up at the fine snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.

At that moment, she felt as if the sky had become brighter.

She started running towards the city park.

……

Citizens' Park.

The once lush green lawn is now covered with thick snow, turning into a white wasteland.

Because of the cold weather, there were almost no visitors in the park, with only the occasional sound of children playing in the distance.

Chen Zhi, wrapped in a long black down jacket, squatted under the tree like an old man, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his neck hunched, looking utterly hopeless.

Not far from him, a beige figure was bending over, struggling to push a snowball that was half a person's height.

"Chen Zhi! Are you even a man?!"

Lin Wanwan, panting heavily, straightened up and shouted to Chen Zhi under the tree, "Come help! I can't push it anymore!"

Chen Zhi rolled his eyes and slowly stood up.

"Working so hard, aren't your hands cold?"

He complained, but his body betrayed him as he walked over.

"Which way should we push it?"

"Over there! The snow is thicker over there!"

Lin Wanwan gave a calm and decisive command, her face flushed red from the cold, her eyes shining.

Chen Zhi sighed, took his hand out of his sleeve, and pressed it onto the snowball.

"One, two, three, let's go!"

The two worked together to control the snowball, making it roll slowly on the snow and leaving a winding trail.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar.

Chen Zhi straightened up and squinted at the scene.

In the wind and snow, a figure wearing a dark blue cotton-padded coat was running towards them, stumbling through the snow.

She ran very fast, her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead.

It's Li Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi! You're here!"

Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she threw down a snowball and pounced on it.

"Slow down! The ground is slippery!"

Chen Zhi shouted from behind.

Li Zhiyi stopped, panting heavily, as white mist rose in front of her.

She looked at the two people in front of her.

Chen Zhi's nose was red from the cold, and a few snowflakes had fallen on his hair, but his eyes remained bright.

Lin Wanwan hugged her arm, radiating youthful energy.

"Come help!"

Lin Wanwan grabbed Li Zhiyi's hand and walked back, "We're going to build the biggest snowman in the whole park!"

Li Zhiyi nodded and took Lin Wanwan's hand in return.

"it is good."

With the addition of new labor, the progress accelerated instantly.

Chen Zhi was in charge of the physical work, pushing the snowball around and scavenging the snow off the lawn.

The two girls were behind, responsible for fixing the shape of the snowballs and filling in the snow chunks that Chen Zhi had missed.

After half an hour.

A huge, somewhat misshapen snowman prototype finally stood in the center of the lawn.

It was made up of three huge snowballs, as tall as half a person.

"This is so ugly."

Chen Zhi patted the snow off his hands and looked at the enormous thing with disdain.

"Where is it ugly? It's actually quite cute."

Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and turned to search through the nearby bushes.

A short while later, she ran back carrying two dark stones.

"Make way, make way, I'm about to dot the eyes."

Lin Wanwan pushed Chen Zhi aside and pressed the two stones onto the top snowball.

One piece on the left, one piece on the right.

One is high and one is low, one is big and one is small.

Then, she found a dry branch and stuck it under the rock.

A snowman with a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and a comical expression was born.

"puff--"

Lin Wanwan took two steps back, looked at her masterpiece, put her hands on her hips, and burst into a burst of wild laughter.

"Hahaha! Chen Zhi! Look! This is you!"

Chen Zhi's face turned dark.

He pointed at the ugly thing and asked incredulously, "Me? Is that me? Am I that ugly?"

The snowman had a large left eye and a small right eye, and its mouth was crooked to the base of its ear, making it look like a stroke patient with hemiplegia.

"Same! Absolutely identical!"

Lin Wanwan laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, pointing at the snowman and then at Chen Zhi, "Especially that smug look, it's exactly the same!"

Li Zhiyi stood to the side, looking at the ugly-cute snowman, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath and felt his blood pressure soaring.

"OK."

He nodded through gritted teeth, "Lin Wanwan, you just wait."

Chen Zhi squatted down and frantically dug at the snow with his hands.

"I'll make one for you too."

He moved quickly and soon rolled out a small snowball.

"I'm going to pile you up like Pigsy's second aunt."

Lin Wanwan retorted, "Hehe, go ahead and pile them up. Anyway, I'm naturally beautiful, so they'll look good no matter how I pile them up."

Chen Zhi sneered and began his revenge.

however.

the reality is cruel.

He originally intended to build a pig's head, but instead he built a lump of unidentified objects.

"never mind."

Chen Zhi, in a fit of despair, flattened the lump of snow and rolled it back into a ball.

Soon, two new snowmen stood up next to Chen Zhi.

The one on the left is round and chubby, with two leaves on its head as ears, and looks adorable.

The one on the right is slightly thinner and has a slender figure. Chen Zhi even found a few thin grass stems to stick in her hair as hair.

"This is Lin Wanwan."

Chen Zhi pointed to the chubby snowman on the left, "He ate too much and got all round."

"This is Li Zhiyi."

He then pointed to the one on the right, "Quiet and refined."

Although the technique is still rough, these two snowmen have clearly been refined and adjusted, with smooth surfaces and regular facial features.

Compared to the crooked-mouthed, slanted-eyed "Chen Zhi" in the middle, they are worlds apart.

"Why should I?!"

Chen Zhi looked at this family of three... no, these three snowmen, and his mentality collapsed.

"Why are you two so cute, and I'm so ugly?"

This is such a discriminatory treatment.

Lin Wanwan leaned closer and carefully examined the chubby snowman that represented her.

"Hmm... I've gained a little weight, but it's barely acceptable."

She frowned and pondered for a while, as if she felt something was missing.

next second.

Lin Wanwan reached out and took off the red scarf around her neck.

"Don't get cold."

She gently wrapped the scarf around the fat snowman's neck.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"This looks much better."

The red scarf stood out vividly against the white snow, adding a touch of life to the cold snowman.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded.

"Wow, Lin Wanwan, you're so narcissistic! Putting a scarf on a snowman?"

"Mind your own business!"

Lin Wanwan proudly raised her chin, "My clone must have a grand presence."

She turned her head and looked at Li Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, why don't you decorate your snowman too?"

Li Zhiyi paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched her neck.

She didn't have a scarf.

Li Zhiyi shook her head somewhat awkwardly, "No need."

Chen Zhi keenly noticed her movements.

Without saying a word, he reached out and took off his gloves.

The black knitted gloves still held his body heat.

"Take it."

Chen Zhi handed the gloves to Li Zhiyi and said without room for argument, "Put these on your snowman so his hands don't get frostbite."

Li Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat when she saw the gloves being handed to her.

"And what about you?"

"My hands are hot, this is a good way to cool them down."

Chen Zhi made up a story on the spot, grabbed the gloves, and put them on the snowman's hand that represented "Li Zhiyi".

The black gloves hanging on the snowman's bare tree branch arms looked somewhat comical.

Three snowmen stand side by side.

In the middle is the ugly Chen Zhi with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

On the left is Fu Guilin Wanwan, wearing a red scarf.

On the right is Wenjing Li Zhiyi, wearing black gloves.

"Perfect."

Lin Wanwan watched this scene. Although she was a little jealous that Chen Zhi gave Li Zhiyi the gloves, her mood instantly improved when she saw that ugly "Chen Zhi" being sandwiched in the middle and suffering.

"Hehe, anyway, you're the ugliest."

"You're ugly, your whole family is ugly."

Just as the two were bickering like elementary school students.

A voice suddenly came from the side.

"Um... excuse me."

The three of them turned around at the same time.

A man wearing a military green overcoat, with long hair and a full beard, was standing not far away.

He was holding a Polaroid camera and looked like a wandering artist.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun, and the visuals are really great."

The man raised his camera and said with a smile, "Would you like me to take a picture of you? It's free."

"Photograph?"

Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly.

She loves taking photos.

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Wanwan immediately agreed, giving Chen Zhi no chance to refuse.

She grabbed Chen Zhi's arm and pulled Li Zhiyi over as well.

"Quickly, stand still!"

The three of them stood behind the three snowmen.

The background is a snow-covered lawn and a clear blue sky.

"Closer, yes, even closer."

The photographer half-squatted on the ground, directing the positioning.

Lin Wanwan unceremoniously took over Chen Zhi's left side.

She was practically clinging to Chen Zhi, her arms wrapped tightly around his, her cheek pressed against his shoulder.

She smiled brightly at the camera and made a big peace sign.

"yeah--"

Chen Zhi was almost suffocating from being squeezed by her. He tried to pull his hand away helplessly, but Lin Wanwan hugged him even tighter.

"Don't move! They're taking pictures!"

Lin Wanwan whispered a threat in his ear.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to give up resisting and let her hug him.

And to Chen Zhi's right.

Li Zhiyi stood quietly.

Unlike Lin Wanwan, she didn't boldly link arms with Chen Zhi; instead, she maintained a slight distance, perhaps only a few centimeters.

Her body leaned slightly towards Chen Zhi, her shoulder brushing against his arm almost imperceptibly.

Li Zhiyi had her hands behind her back, her fingers intertwined.

She looked at the camera somewhat shyly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

That was a secret and innocent joy unique to young girls.

The wind and snow seemed to stand still at that moment.

The photographer looked at the scene in the viewfinder.

A flamboyant and bright young girl, a doting young boy, and a quiet and reserved girl.

And there were three snowmen, each with its own unique characteristics, standing in front of them.

This is simply the best description of youth.

"Okay, keep it up."

The photographer's finger is on the shutter button.

"Come on, smile! One, two, three, cheese!"

"eggplant!"

Lin Wanwan shouted loudly.

Li Zhiyi gently curved her eyebrows.

"Click."

The shutter is pressed.

The flash went off in the dim snowy sky, freezing that moment in time.

In the winter of 2015.

"Sizzle—"

The photos slowly emerged from the camera's output.

The photographer shook the photo and waited for the image to appear.

The three of them immediately surrounded her, their heads huddled together.

As the colors deepen, the image becomes clearer.

In the photo.

Lin Wanwan's smile was like a little sun, dominating the picture, and her red scarf was particularly eye-catching.

Although Chen Zhi looked disgusted, his body leaned towards Lin Wanwan, and there was no real impatience in his eyes.

And at the edge of the image.

Li Zhiyi stood quietly, her gaze not on the camera, but slightly turned to the side, as if she were stealing glances at the boy beside her.

That look in his eyes was clear, gentle, and also concealed some unknown emotions.

"Great shot."

Chen Zhi looked at the photos and, unusually, noticed that there was no mention of selling swords.

In this photo, everyone looks their most authentic selves.

"Uncle, could you give us one each?"

Chen Zhi looked up and reached into his pocket for his phone. "I can pay. How much is it?"

He knew that instant film was quite expensive.

The wandering artist waved his hand and handed the photo to Chen Zhi.

"It's free."

He operates the camera.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

Two more photos were ejected.

"I bought this camera because I wanted to capture some beautiful moments."

The man handed the three photos to the three men, a weathered yet gentle smile on his face.

"It's so good to be young."

He sighed, packed up his camera, and turned to leave.

"Keep it, cherish your youth, and grow up slowly."

Chen Zhi held the still-warm photo in his hand, watching the man's departing figure, and remained silent for a long time.

"I want this one!"

Lin Wanwan reacted quickly, snatching the card from Chen Zhi's hand and shoving her own into his hand.

"I closed half my eyes in that one! This one looks better!"

"Lin Wanwan, are you a bandit?"

Chen Zhi stared speechlessly at the close-up photo in his hand of Lin Wanwan, who was smiling so broadly that her eyes were almost closed.

"Hehehe."

Lin Wanwan carefully tucked the stolen photos into her phone case, which was transparent and could display them perfectly.

"Time to go home!"

In high spirits, she turned and ran.

"Chen Zhi, Zhiyi, hurry up! I'm hungry! I want to eat hot pot!"

Chen Zhi sighed, put the photo in his pocket, and turned to look at Li Zhiyi.

"Let's go, Li Zhiyi."

He reached out and casually patted the snow off Li Zhiyi, saying, "If you don't leave now, you'll freeze into an ice sculpture."

Li Zhiyi clutched the photo tightly in her hand.

She looked at the photo of herself standing next to Chen Zhi.

"Um."

Li Zhiyi nodded heavily and followed Chen Zhi's footsteps.

The snow is still falling.

The footprints of three people stretched out on the snow, intertwined, and led into the distance.
