Finally, Ryan finally found Carrie sitting alone on a swing in the middle of a park.


    She was lost in thought..


    “Carrie…”


    Ryan gazed at Carrie’s delicate silhouette from a few steps away.


    Her jet-ck hair was dusted with snow, and ayer of frost stuck to her little red jacket. At a nce,


    she looked like a little snowman.


    He thought, ‘Silly girl, how long have you been sitting in the snow?’


    “Carrie, I finally found you.” Ryan’s heart ached as he walked toward her.


    Ryan kneeled in front of the girl, one knee on the ground. Hisrge, warm hands tightly covered hers,


    which were cold from hugging her teddy bear.


    “How did you find me?” Carrie blinked in surprise.


    “Carrie, our hearts are connected. No matter where you run off to will find you.”


    Ryan’s heart was overwhelmed with pain. He raised his hand to touch her flushed cheeks gently.


    His voice cracked as he said, “Silly girl, you can never run away from me in this lifetime.”


    Carrie’s gaze fell, and she remained silent.


    “It’s quite cold sitting here. Come, let’s go home together.”


    “Ryan, I want to live with Grandpa.”


    Carrie slowly withdrew her hand from his grasp. “I just called Uncle


    Matt. He’s sending someone to pick me up now.”


    “Carrie, don’t you want me anymore?” Ryan widened his eyes and asked meekly.


    Carrie quickly shook her head, biting her lips. “I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I don’t want


    you to argue with your mom.”


    She added, “Ryan, don’t be angry with your mom anymore. She’s your mother. You should listen to


    her.”


    “But I only want to listen to you.” Ryan’s eyes were tender as he brushed off the snow on her


    shoulders.


    He cradled her rosy face with his palms. He knew her face must be in pain from the cold, and he was


    hoping this gesture would bring her some relief.


    “Ryan, please go home quickly. Uncle Matt wille to pick me soon.” Carrie urged him reluctantly.


    “Carrie, let me ask you something.” Ryan gulped. He smiled at her, but his eyes were red. “Do you love


    me?”


    “Love?” Carrie raised her eyes, her pupils slightly trembling. Her pale lips moved slowly, as if she had


    lost her ability to speak. For a while, she did not utter a single word.


    Ryan’s heart felt heavy and bitter. What was he thinking? Didn’t he say it was enough that he loved


    her? ‘Ryan, you’re in love with an extraordinary girl… You shouldn’t force her like this…’


    “Ryan.” Carrie softly called his name. She slowly lifted her hands and gently ced them on Ryan’s


    back.


    “I love you, Ryan. In my heart, I have loved you since a long time ago. Maybe it was the first time you


    kissed me. Maybe it was when I hid in my room, secretly drawing a portrait of you.” Maybe it was every


    time you stood by my side, despite the looks you got. I don’t understand what love is, but I think that my


    feelings for you must be love.”
