A cold can of 'dr pepper' (Dr. Pepper, the best-selling caramel carbonated drink produced by 7-up) was taken out of the ice bucket and handed into Veleva Helsinki's hand. The dewdrops of the ice water swayed whitely from the can.

A drop of it trickled down into the tender palm of my hand, and it felt refreshing even before I drank it.

Lin Nian watched as the delicate white fingers opened the tab, and there was a "squeak" sound, which reminded him of a small hole in a leather bag, and the unknown darkness hidden in the dark places inside.

It gushed out. The foam and black water spread from the white and tender hands, and the sounds that came out were high-pitched and distorted. In short, they no longer had their original appearance, so there was no need to pay attention to them.

listen.

Sitting under the parasol, Wei Lewa raised her neck and took a long sip of soda under Lin Nian's gaze. After putting it down, she let out a long breath. The princess on the ice and snow was so frozen even in the hot sun, every inch of her body was frozen.

Even with sweat, the skin looks so cool.

She turned around and saw that Lin Nian also had a glass bottle of Coca-Cola in his hand, so she raised the bottle to Lin Nian, as if to clink the glasses. Her movements were also very interesting, with her right arm shoulder-level and reaching straight for the wine glass.

This is an orthodox toasting gesture. In the Nordic culture, a complete toasting gesture often means that one has no hidden weapons, because in those years, everyone lived in suits and ties, and unseemly knives and guns were hidden under decent clothes.

Under clothes, once you stretch your hand too far, the indecentness underneath will be exposed.

Wei Lewa did not speak, sitting so casually on the picnic mat among green and blue. Beside her, Xiawang was watching his sister playing volleyball in the distance very sensibly. He always knew how to be alone in crowded situations.

, which is too reassuring.

How long has it been since he last saw this girl? Lin Nian thought to himself, and soon got the answer. He remembered it clearly - he remembered everything he should remember, but the last time he met Wei Le

It is estimated that many forgetful people will not forget the date of the girl Wa Helsinki.

On August 21, 2010, the Sniper Battle of Constantine took place for a total of 337 days, nearly a year.

A lot of bad things happened that day, but the end result was generally good.

Just like when people carry a huge piece of glass and accidentally break a corner, it is still generally intact, even if the broken piece of glass falls to the ground and remains forever in the black puddle on the corner of the street - know the basics! Mixed blood

They are always people who understand the general idea and don't care about abandoned leftovers.

Watching Lin Nian pop open the Coke bottle cap with his thumb, no foam came out. The liquid inside was so calm that it made people question whether the black soda was carbonated soda or some other imposter. There were only a few bubbles inside.

It takes a surge to prove that it is indeed such a thing.

"Cheers." The drink can and the glass bottle in Veleva's hand collided lightly. The sound was not so crisp and dull as expected.

"Why cheers?" Lin Nianqian asked, taking a sip of the cold soda. It is worth mentioning that the focus of his question was "for what?" rather than the common "why" in questions.

Because Lin Nian could see that this girl's behavior of toasting was celebratory, and it was not just a casual toast. You can see toasts everywhere: "I don't know why, but I think we should cheer!" That kind of catharsis is unknown.

Pleasant behavior, Lin Nian thought that the toast she said had a meaning. She was indeed toasting to celebrate something, and that thing must make her feel happy. She wanted to share it with herself but it was not easy to say it directly.

, so it is expressed so formally and implicitly.

"In order to finally be able to drink my favorite drinks after nearly a year." Veleva turned the purple and black printed can of 'dr pepper' in her right hand.

She said: "When I was a child in Finland, I liked to drink soda drinks, bonne bilberry juice, fazer oatmeal drinks, but my favorite is soda and carbonated soda. It snows often in Finland, and it is easy to accumulate at once, so most people in my country

The doors of homes all open to the inside. If someone's door is opened to the outside, then they are probably out of luck. After all, it is common for the way to work to be blocked by thick snow that exceeds the door. "

"This is the first time I heard this. It's very strange." Lin Nian said.

"If you have time, you can really come to Finland once, and go to Helsinki. Although Finland often sees snow, it is generally not cold because of the North Atlantic warm current, or it is warmer than other places on the earth at the same latitude. Yes.

On snowy days, the air is fresh and dry, and there is no dampness or cold feeling, so I have developed the habit of drinking iced drinks in a heated room since I was a child... Do you know how to freeze drinks in Finland?

"

Lin Nian shook his head.

"We don't use freezers, even though we have freezers in every household. After all, Finland also has hot days. I don't know about other people, but since I was a child, I like to bury drinks, sometimes cola and sometimes blueberry drinks, in the snow outside the door for him to drink.

Naturally frozen." She said while drinking the drink, "But my maid often hides my frozen drinks because she listens to my mother's advice to take care of me and thinks it is unhygienic."

"Drinks come in bottles." Lin Nian pointed out this point.

"Yes, but she thinks snow is dirty and will stain the drink cans, and I never like to use it when drinking drinks. When my mouth comes into contact with the drink bottles, I will eat the dirty things in the snow... She often uses

Dogs will poop in the snow to scare me, saying that a child got leukemia from drinking unclean canned drinks, but I never listen to this." Vileva shrugged.

Lin Nian didn't know what to say, so he said "hmm" and remained silent.

The girl talked about the past and some strange things. What a boy should do is to be silent and listen. This is what Lin Nian learned from Su Xiaoqiang.

This year's relationship between the two has not been smooth sailing. Even the girl who likes Lin Nian so much actually has her own temper.

For example, when it comes to the topic of Su Xiaoqiang during the chat, why does his answer not get very good results? Why does Su Xiaoqiang talk about his troubles at Kassel College with great interest, but his targeted suggestions only get a few perfunctory thanks?

and hugging her. He knew that she still loved her at that time, but the girl's own mood must be less high than before, which led to a result - he had done something wrong.

So when he returned to his dormitory after an occasional unsuccessful date, he spent most of the time discussing these emotional issues with love expert Lu Mingfei and love professor Fingel.

Finally, after discussions with professors and experts, he got the answer, that is, those girls are all problem experts from Venus, and many boys are also experts in the transformation of Mars. Boys do not need to target girls' problems.

The story makes suggestions, what they need is to listen, and only listen.

Moreover, he and Wei Lewa were just chatting. No matter what happened in the past, it was chatting between acquaintances after a long absence. Since it was chatting, it could be about any topic, including school, relationships, politics, and of course, the past.

Interesting facts.

Wei Lewa looked at the quiet Lin Nian and seemed very pleased with the boy's reaction. She took a sip of the drink and asked proactively, "Do you think I'm willful?"

"Children are all like this." Lin Nian said, "When I was a child, some people asked me to wash apples before eating them, but I never did so because I thought I was taught that raw water should not be drunk, so use apples washed with raw water.

Why can we eat it? The teacher taught us that we should not drink raw water, but he did not teach us that we should not eat apples, so we must wash the apples with raw water before eating them. This is unreasonable."

Wei Lewa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became happy: "You were really great when you were a child. Did you tell the person who reminded you about your thoughts? How did he react?"

"She said it, she said it confidently, and then the next day she randomly selected some fruits in the fruit basket and applied a layer of white vinegar to dry them. When I ate them, I almost had a sore tooth. I ran into the kitchen angrily and asked her why she was like this.

Yes, she said you can drink white vinegar and eat unwashed apples. Why can’t you eat apples washed with white vinegar?”

"Is this a sneaky change of concept? And the change is not very clever, it feels like strong words." Veleva commented.

"That's what I said too. While she was chopping vegetables, don't say: Oh, then why don't you wash it before eating it?" Lin Nian said, "After that, when I get the fruit, I will wash it before eating it. Speaking of which, you are in the snow.

There should be more to the story about the drink buried inside, right?"

"Of course there is. But I think the starting point of our rebellion may be different." Veleva shook the drink can and said, "You are going against the people who care about you because of your 'axis' and the acceptance of death. And what I say...

.Half and half, right? There is a "shaft" component in it, because I do like to use snow to freeze drinks, because I think the drinks made from snow have a winter taste, and the freezer only has the taste of the freezer. And the other half is probably me

I just want to fight against that maid."

"I don't like her. I do whatever she doesn't let me do. She doesn't let me bury drinks, so I hide drinks everywhere in the snow on the manor. She limits the number of drinks I drink every day to protect my teeth.

I hid the beverage can in the thermos cup and poured out plain water. When she was gone, I opened the thermos cup, took out the beverage can and had a drink." Veleva smiled, "Now that I think about it, it feels quite childish, just drink the beverage.

At least I was the one who paid the price in the end, and I still hate dentists to this day."

"You hate that maid?"

"I hated it when I was a kid because I thought she was my mother's yes-man, so I liked to go against her,"

"You don't like your mother?" Lin Nian paused.

"I can't say I don't like it." Wei Lewa thought for a while and shook her head, "Every child has a rebellious moment, and my rebellious period came earlier. It may be due to family environment factors... Children always

I would do some angry behavior inexplicably because I felt that adults didn’t care about me, but in fact my mother didn’t care about me at that time.”

"She beat you and scolded you?"

"No, I can meet her no more than three times a year. She is always busy outside, has regular contacts with the royal families of neighboring countries, and has relationships with 'old money' (old dignitaries, representatives of the real 'upper class'

) communicate with each other and organize regular gatherings to maintain our family's status and influence in the upper class society. This is the most important thing in her life," said Veleva.

Lin Nian remembered that Mandy had mentioned this girl's illustrious life experience to him. In his imagination, Veleva should have been in and out of the Swedish royal family every day to exchange equestrian skills and etiquette with the princesses and princes. It was difficult to imagine that she would talk to the other party about the past.

What he mentioned at the time was a battle of wits with the maid, burying carbonated drinks everywhere in the snow, and it felt like Caesar Gattuso had mentioned to him secretly playing PS game consoles.

"She doesn't care about me, so I like to make trouble, but she doesn't give me a chance to make trouble at all. She only fills my life with various courses, so I make trouble with the people around me who are related to her. The maid is an example.

Every maid was upset by me and called my mother crying to tell me how much I went too far." Veleva said calmly,

"Every time I hear my mother's angry scolding on the other end of the phone, I feel very happy. It's more satisfying than drinking three cans of ice-cold soda in a row."

Lin Nian thought about the scene for a while. The maid with red eyes was standing next to the telephone in the corridor of the manor. The little girl with platinum hair and gorgeous clothes held the receiver arrogantly and looked down upon the mother opposite.

The appearance of the victorious little rooster is worthy of a bottle of ice-cold soda.

So Lin Nian opened a new bottle of soda for her, again 'dr pepper'.

"Thank you." Veleva took it and thanked her politely.

"Your mother will scold you, which means she still loves you." Lin Nian said.

"Yes, she still loves me, even though she neglected my growth because of many things. But she is still unshakable. She comes back to the manor every year on my birthday, her birthday, and the anniversary of my father's death.

Let's have a meal together.

"Those three days every year are indeed the happiest time for me. Even on the anniversary of my father's death, I am still so happy when I can sit with her on the lawn outside the manor and watch the stars and remember my relatives. At least during those three days and 71 hours, I

I know she loves me." She said.

Lin Nian was about to nod and say something, but was stopped by the words that came out of her mouth, which were as refreshing as the drink in her hand.

"But I would rather she didn't love me." Veleva said lightly.

Lin Nian raised his head and glanced at her. The girl's expression was still as normal, but there was some indifference in her eyes. He said nothing and waited for the next step.
