by noon, it actually started to snow
Frank and Helena hadn’t finished gathering their radishes from the field
Whenever it snowed. Frank’s legs would start aching, so Helena took him in the village doctor for some medicar

The two of them went to the field together.
Along the way. Bobby walked steadily, occasionally glancing at Madeline with a radiant smile.
Madeline turned to look at him. He still had that elegant and sophisticated look.
Even with a bomboo basket on his back, his image remained unchanged
cewa
He stood out like a perfect gem. His presence was unmatched.
Madeline couldn’t help but mumble, “Why do you keep smiling at me like that?
“Is there something on my face! Are you teasing me!”
“No,” Bobby said with a gentle smile, his eyes clear. I was just marveling at how much you’ve grown up
“Marveling!” Madeline shook her basket and asked, “Is my growing up really so surprising!
“Did you think I’d never grow up?”
“Not exactly,” Bobby replied, touching her forehead. “You were quite the tomboy when you were little, a bit stubborn and sometimes unreasonable “Who would’ve thought you’d turn out so beautiful and charming!
“Like someone straight out of an ancient poem…
“Wait, stop” Madeline playfully hit his arm and then jogged away along the path through the fields, her ears burning with hear
She wondered if she might get frostbite again.
Madeline covered her ears, Not hearing any footsteps behind her, she paused to wait for Bobby
“Hurry up, Bobby, shouted Madeline.
Bobby smiled fondly and quickened his pace, holding the wicker basket
Madeline watched him as he approached.
The breeze was gentle and the water was vast. Snowflakes drifted and sparkled in the air.
Snowflakes settled in his hair as he walked toward her. Even though there was an umbrella in the basket, he didn’t bother to use it
He was like the boy next door, but the best kind.
“Bobby, aren’t you going to use the umbrella‘ Your hair’s full of snowflakes,” said Madeline
“Let’s watch the snow together, Bobby said when he reached her, leaning down with a genuine smile. “Isn’t that kind of romantic?” “Whart Madeline blinked, confused.
Hobby pinched her cold cheeks, “If we face the snow together now, it’s like we’ll be together forever.
Madeline’s cheeks suddenly felt warın,
She wasn’t sure if it was the warmth of his hand or if she was blushing from his words.
*Bobby, we just met, and you’re already being so finy

She thought, Oh iny. There’s no way all my twelve brothers are exactly the same, right?

“That won’t happen,” Bobby said softly, looking at her. “Madeline, you are the most unique person
“There will always be someone better than me, Madeline replied
Bobby said without hesitation, “Of course, better people will meet better people. What’s that got to do with me“.
Madelme shrugged her shoulders, covered her face with her scarf, and walked off by herself.
Eventually, she would make her brothers understand that the relationship between them wasn’t romantic love.

Eugene sat beneath the eaves of the small courtyard, holding a bowl filled with dried corn kernels.
In front of him, a number of chickens and ducks gathered around
The chickens circled Eugene

The chickens immediately rushed over to cat iL
When Helena and Frank came back, this was the scene they saw.
Helena felt unsure. Although Eugene was more attractive than most women, he definitely lacked Hobby’s practical life experience.
For example, Bobby knew to keep the chickens inside when it snowed so they wouldn’t be freezing outside or
eating corn.
Frank wasn’t too bothered. City folks like Eugene were different from rural people. Each had their own strengths. It was not fair to make direct comparisons,
He believed that the man Madeline liked was the best
“Eugene, why are you sitting out here in the cold? Why don’t you come inside to warm up? Look at you. Your hands are turning white from the cold, Frank said, concerned.
Thank y
you for caring, Mr. Lewis. Eugene lifted his gaze and smiled at Frank. I’m waiting.
“Waiting for what” Frank asked, curious
“Waiting for Madeline
to come back.” Eugene replied.
Frank, not knowing Madeline had gone out, said, “Well, go inside and wait Don’t catch a cold”
Seeing Eugene’s lovestruck expression, Helena was puzzled. “You and Madeline are

Eugene’s face, usually radiant and cold, carried an endless sorrow. I think she might like Bobby more
its not her fault for straying. She just made a mistake anyone could make. I don’t blame her. I just blame my own bad luck ” Helena never imagined there could be such a devoted man in this world, and she couldn’t help but feel drawn to Eugene
After all. Madeline had already toyed with his feelings and she had to be responsible for it.
How did you find out she likes Hobby more?” asked Helena.
“This time she went to pick radishes and didn’t take me. She must have wanted to be alone with Bobby
Frank was confused. “She just went to pick radishes without you?”
Eugene pressed his lips together, his eyes showing sadness. She used to always take me.
“Don’t think picking radishes is a small thing. It’s actually quite significant
Frank and Helena were truly p

They wondered. Why is this such a big deal?
Eugene gritted his teeth, thinking. If I can pick radishes this time, maybe next time I can do something else.
