Chapter 107:  Extraordinary-New Year's Day Dedication

A candle, a glass of thin wine, a long sword, and.. a...children's small rattle.

The sandalwood incense burner slowly exuded an elegant fragrance, and a warm temperature in the inner room at dusk.

One person sat quietly at the table, drinking. It seemed that he was not very young, but he was about 20 years old. He was dressed in a deep black dress in fine silk with auspicious white clouds embroidered and purple and gold patterns, which set off his handsomeness and grace.

He lightly plucked the snare drum, the snare drumstick hit the delicate sheepskin drum surface, making a crisp "dong dong" sound. The man's thin lips were slightly pursed, creating a curve of joy and sorrow.

In the scent lingering air, the person's dark and distant pupils reflected the color of blur, not knowing where to look.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the man's broad and warm embrace, gently patted by his big hand, and coaxed by his low voice. Lying in front of him, how at ease and worry-free he was, as if there was the ultimate pure land in the world, stripped of all the worldly disturbances, pure and without a trace of impurities.

Suddenly there was a sound of laughter outside the window, translating the luminous color of the evening light that was gradually ending in the evening.

The man stood up, he walked to the window, opened the sash and looked over. There were two cheerful figures in the courtyard leaping lightly in the finely falling snow.

"Yue! Look over here!"

As the girl laughed and screamed, the boy's dark hair fell onto a piece of snow, as it scattered on his head and shoulders.

"Okay, see if I won't teach you!" The boy grabbed a handful of the white snow on the ground and ran to the girl in yellow clothes over there.

"Ahhh-" the girl screamed and ran away.

The boy caught her and put the snow in his hand to her face. The girl bent down and covered her face with her long hair. He couldn't really see it, but only heard her whimpering.

The young man in the room who was looking at them frowned slightly, his expression worried.

The boy was unmoved, snorted and said with a smile: "Don't lie to me, I won't be fooled by this kind of trick anymore."

The girl suddenly stopped the sobbing, but did not raise her head. She was still squatting on the ground, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.

Although the young man had said just now, his face showed hesitation at this time. After a stalemate for a while, seeing the girl still didn't mean to stand up, he couldn't help but be a little shaken and bent down: "Chen? Did it really hurt you?"

"Of course..." The girl jerked for a while, suddenly raised her body, and a big snowball hit the boy's face, shouting: "No! Hahaha..."

The young man stood in the snow in embarrassment, his face turned red with anger, and it took a while before he chased her again.

The two figures, one dressed in white and the other dressed in yellow, fluttered in the vast courtyard. Looking carefully, you would find that their faces were exactly the same, and even the cheerful smile at the corners of their mouths was carved out of a mold. It was actually a pair of twin brothers and sisters.

The young man in the house watched them laughing in the courtyard, with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, and his appearance was somewhat indistinguishable from the brother and sister.
