Is He Really The Protagonist?

"Snowgun, we're out to pick up the guests."

Xiao Bosheng pushed open the door, only to find that the snow gun was already lying on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall.

"Meow⁓"

Seeing Xiao Bosheng's figure in a white dress behind him, Xue Qiang suddenly perked up, let out a soft cry, and then jumped from the shoe cabinet into his arms.

His snow-white head was resting on his shoulders, tilting his head, and looking at Tang Yubing with his big flashing eyes.

It's a pity that Xiao Bosheng couldn't see Xue Qiang's expression, otherwise he would have been amazed that she could act cute even though she was so cold.

However, this expression was not so cute in Tang Yubing's eyes. She screamed and took two steps back.

Xiao Bosheng turned his head, holding the snow gun in his arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the snow gun really won't hurt anyone. Didn't you see it last time?"

"Meow⁓" The snow gun made a soft sound at the right time.

"I'm just scared. You take it in first and I'll come in later."

"Okay." Xiao Bosheng shook his head helplessly, turned to Snow Gun and said, "Go to your room and play."

"Meow⁓"

"What's wrong with you? You are the master. Of course you have to be polite when guests come. It's not like she dislikes you. Be good." He rubbed Xue Qiang's little head and put her on the ground.

"Meow!"

"Okay, okay, I promise you, let's go to the room and play."

Snow Gun then walked into the room with his head held high. Seeing the smooth communication between one person and one cat, Tang Yubing couldn't suppress her inner surprise. When the snow gun left, she stepped forward: "Master, can you understand what it says? How do you do it?"

Xiao Posheng took out a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave them to Tang Yubing, and replied, "I don't understand."

Tang Yubing sat on the small bench in the entrance, took off her white shoes, and put on the disposable slippers prepared by Xiao Bosheng: "Then what did you just do..."

"As long as I understand what she means, why do I need to understand what she specifically said." Xiao Bosheng answered as he should.

Tang Yubing was confused: "If you can't understand its words, how can you understand its meaning?"

Xiao Bosheng changed his slippers, thought for a moment, and explained: "I don't know the reason, but I could understand what she wanted to express from the beginning. I think this is the reason for the compatibility of souls." The connection that exists between them, well, there is a word to describe this, it’s called telepathy.”

There may be other reasons, but Xiao Bosheng doesn't want to explore.

First, Snowgun found his place and he adopted her, named her, and treated her as family. Later, when the snow gun woke him up from his lost thoughts, the kitten became the most important presence in his life.

"Oh." Tang Yubing didn't think so. She just felt that she was redundant. What she was joking about at the beginning was becoming more and more likely to become a reality.

Xiao Bosheng also thought of what Tang Yubing said at that time and laughed: "The snow gun is not clingy. She mostly lies lazily somewhere."

"I didn't say anything." Tang Yubing's words were a little sour.

Xiao Bosheng decided to end this topic and found a paper cup from the small cabinet in the restaurant: "Would you like some tea?"

Tang Yubing shook his head: "No, drinking tea will make you unable to sleep at night."

"What about Coke? Or just drink plain water?"

"Just water, Coke tastes weird in your mouth."

Now it was Xiao Bosheng's turn to be surprised: "How could it be possible? Coke obviously tastes very good, especially iced Coke."

"I don't know. People and their physiques cannot be generalized."

Xiao Posheng nodded: "Indeed, just like you are afraid of the snow gun, you can't find the reason."

Tang Yubing explained: "For a reason, I'm afraid it will scratch me."

"But the snow gun can't scratch people." Xiao Posheng put the paper cup back and took a bottle of jasmine honey tea from the refrigerator.

"Do you drink this tea?" Tang Yubing was attracted by the bottled drink he took out. After hearing his words, he explained: "No one can guarantee it, and it is always difficult for animals to get close to unfamiliar people. It scratches It’s not normal for me or to bite me.”

"I'm lucky enough to have seen the tea ceremony, but I feel that drinking it directly by soaking it in water is a bit disappointing for the tea leaves. I don't know those complicated operations myself, so I just drink this." Xiao Posheng first explained the honey tea in his hand, and then retorted. Tang Yubing's point of view.

"You are wrong to think this way. From the beginning, you are on guard with the mentality that the other person will hurt you. This will only create a gap. Later, when you are not close to you because of your guard, you will only think: I knew she was Such."

Tang Yubing shook his head: "I don't care. Anyway, I'm just on guard. As long as I don't let it get close to me, I don't want to get close to it."

"Fine."

Xiao Bosheng gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade and took his time, as the days ahead were long.

He walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Tang Yubing. When he came out, he saw her touching the piano. Xiao Posheng asked, "Want to listen to music?"

"Okay." Tang Yubing took the water glass and took a sip, holding the paper cup and sitting on the sofa: "Master, what song do you want to sing."

Xiao Bosheng didn't answer. He opened the keyboard cover of the piano and briefly checked the keys and pedals. There were no problems. Sit down in front of the piano, close your eyes and recall the score of the song in your memory, and then play a few notes to warm up.

After everything was ready, he turned to look at Tang Yubing and said, "The song is called Thief of Time. You probably haven't heard of it."

Ignoring her reaction, Xiao Bosheng put his hands on the keys, and a gentle melody flowed from his fingers.

“If you can hold it tightly, don’t let it go.

If you can hug me, don't pull me away.

Time washes away anxiously, what is left?

Forgive the twists and turns we have gone through

It turns out that everything left behind is true

Even though it seems like a dream, half awake,

Laughing and crying are happy.”

Time flies so fast.

Close your eyes and the scenes of the past year flash in your mind. Meeting the boss, the first mission, understanding the meaning of Yuling's existence, getting to know Tang Yubing, adopting a snow gun, meeting the young apprentice, watching fireworks alone, the formation of the team, busy but fulfilling missions, and exchange meetings.

One year after his birth, his life was already much more exciting than the nearly fifty years of his two predecessors combined, but why, he still felt empty and confused.

"Who said, time is something that catches people off guard

Sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it’s windy, sometimes it’s rainy. I can’t compete day and night, but I still think about the past.

I stole Qingsi but kept you. Time is a journey with no return.

Good and bad are all scenery, don’t blame me for being greedy, I just don’t want to wake up

Because you are only willing to be with me and watch the clouds and the breeze.”

It is not advisable to carve a boat and seek a sword in the long river of time. Only by looking forward can you clarify your direction.

Stopping his fingers dancing on the keys, this was his first time singing this song, so his singing was not very good. So just sing one part, and when you get familiar with it later, you can sing the full version and record a video by the way.

"Papa papa." Xiao Posheng was still feeling sentimental in the second grade with his eyes closed. Tang Yubing heard him stop playing and clapped his hands.

When Xiao Bosheng came to his senses, Tang Yubing had already put down the water glass and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Master, did you write this? It's amazing."

"I should be the first to sing this song." Xiao Bosheng did not admit it, feeling that it was a bit shameless, so he just gave a vague answer.

In Tang Yubing's opinion, this was an admission, and he said enthusiastically: "It sounds very good. Master, you can record it and post it online."

Xiao Bosheng nodded: "Yeah, it's my first time to play and sing, so I'm not familiar with it yet. This song is just fine with piano and guitar accompaniment. I'll post it when it's recorded."

Tang Yubing's eyes were filled with stars: "If a lot of people like it, I'll probably make a lot of money."

"I guess it's quite a lot." He didn't know how much profit the small broken station made, but he donated it anyway.

Tang Yubing suddenly remembered that it was already October, and immediately changed her mind: "No, no, you have an exam soon. You should concentrate on studying during this period, and then do this after the exam."

Xiao Bosheng smiled and asked: "Do you want to learn this piano score? It's not particularly difficult. Or should we read and study separately?"

"Just do the questions. Don't be in a hurry to learn this."

"Okay." He walked into the room, rubbed the head of Xue Qiang who was staring out the window in a daze a few times, and took out a floor mat from the cabinet.

When Tang Yubing came over during the Dragon Boat Festival, because there was only one stool with a suitable height, Xiao Bosheng was the only one studying at that time, and Tang Yubing occupied his recliner to play games.

So he later bought this floor mat so that the two of them could sit on the floor mat and lie on the coffee table together.

Seeing him taking out the floor mat and laying it on the side of the coffee table, Tang Yubing was a little speechless.

"If you don't buy a stool, your legs will be numb if you sit on it for a long time..."

Xiao Posheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then you go to my desk in my room, and I will call out the snow gun."

"good."

Carrying the snow gun to the sofa, Tang Yubing walked into the room. Xiao Bosheng did not follow him in, but sat cross-legged on the floor mat.

"Meow?"

Xiao Bosheng smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and did not speak to Xue Qiang.
