Chapter 16

It’s because I don’t remember staying warm back at the orphanage, and after living alone, it became a habit to turn on the stove only enough to keep myself from freezing to death in order to save the cost of buying firewood in winter. Thanks to that, the warmth of this Depodil House still felt foreign to me but I am slowly adapting to it. The cold winter was nothing. Besides, these days, I ate three snacks a day, so my body was full of energy. Everything was fine except for the nightmare. I only had it the first night, but up to this day, I still feel a little bit uncomfortable. “Shall we make a snowman? Would that be okay?”

“What is a snowman?” Now, he made eye contact with me and even responded to me. Leon’s voice is soft like cotton candy. It was a melting beauty. A voice that is indistinguishable from a girl’s voice if you listen with your eyes closed. “You haven’t made one?.” “I haven’t done it.” Really? So, let’s have a snowman making class today.” Pia demonstrated in front of Leon. When she rolled snow and made them look round, Leon quickly followed them. It’s also cute that the little gloved hand follows me and rolls the snow.

Pia couldn’t stop laughing. “complete!” With the two completed snowmen in front of them, Pia and Leon looked really proud. The snowman Pia made was a little taller than Leon’s, and the snowman Leon made was as small as a puppy. “Put this on.” When Pia took off her old scarf and wrapped it around the snowman’s neck, Leon, who saw it, quickly took off the scarf and hung it around the little snowman’s neck. “It won’t be cold all night. right?” “Yeah.”

Was it because of the cold? Leon’s cheeks turned red. It made me feel pity seeing a child with poor complexion, whose cheeks turned red only after being hit by such a cold wind. “Shall we go in? We’re going to catch a cold here. Let us drink warm milk inside… Ah. You can’t drink milk.” After making a snowman like this, drinking warm milk was the best, but Leon couldn’t drink milk. “Let’s have tea. Lots of honey.” “Yeah.” Pia hugged Leon in a flash. Pia isn’t strong either, but Leon is so light that it isn’t hard for her to hold him like this.

It was possible. “You have to eat better. That way you will grow taller and be a lot healthier.” “Will I grow taller?” “Of course you will grow up. You’re still seven years old now.” “How big will I grow?” Leon’s voice was pleasant to hear, like the chirping of a little bird. “Are you going to grow big? Still, I hope it doesn’t grow to the point where it touches that tree. Then you can’t go inside the house.” Leon burst out laughing at Pia’s words. all. “I really like the teacher.”
