James glanced at the rearview mirror before chuckling. “Alright, I'll back up and head out.”
“Drive along the edge,” Aaron said, giving him a look that clearly meant you can leave now.
James let out a whistle. “Wish you success in winning the beauty’s heart.”
He drove off slowly, but as he passed by Lena, he leaned his head out of the window. “Little sister, still remember
me?”
Lena rolled her eyes discreetly. He obviously recognized her but still chose to tease.
That was just who he was. Though James and Aaron were like brothers, Lena wasn’t required to call him “Mister”
like Aaron. James had made it clear he didn’t want to feel old, so he insisted she just call him “James.”
“James,” Lena greeted without taking his teasing to heart.
“Have fun, and don’t waste your uncle's thoughtful gesture,” James said with his usual bluntness.
Lena hadn’t overheard the earlier conversation between the two men and didn’t understand his comment, but
she nodded anyway, waving goodbye as his car disappeared into the snowy road.
Once James's car was out of sight, Aaron walked over to her. Her hat and scarf were already

“No, I'm actually sweating,” Lena said with a grin. She had been running and spinning in circles so much that she
felt warm.

“Don’t overdo it. You'll catch a cold,” Aaron said, his gaze soft as he noticed her flushed cheeks, reddened from
the exercise. His hand moved to her face almost instinctively.
The coolness of his fingers startled her, and she reflexively took a small step back.
The air between them grew tense.
When Lena noticed the slight stiffness in Aaron’s expression, she realized her reaction had been too abrupt. She
quickly explained, “Your hand was too cold.”
Aaron withdrew his hand, slipping it into his pocket. “How about | draw something for you?” It wasn’t until he
mentioned it that Lena remembered his talent for drawing. Back when she was in school, he had helped her with
every hand-drawn poster, leaving her with little to do besides adding a few words.
“Here? In the snow?” she asked, surprised not that he could draw but that he wanted to do it
here.
“Of course. I've done it before, haven't I?” Aaron replied.

It wasn’t her fault she couldn’t remember. He had been overseas for so many years; naturally, smemories
had faded.
“Stay right there. Don’t move,” Aaron instructed her.
Lena smiled, recalling his past works. There was nothing he couldn't draw. “Uncle, are you going to useas
your model this time?”
“Wait and see,” Aaron replied, crouching down. The shands she had just complained were too cold were
now working deftly in the snow.
Standing still, Lena could only see what was directly in front of her. She tried to look behind but couldn't turn far
enough because of her bulky winter clothes. Aaron seemed to notice, working swiftly to finish.
Although she couldn't make out what he was drawing, she noticed his hands turning red from the cold. Regret
bubbled up inside her-she shouldn’t have let him do this.
Finally, Aaron stepped back, finishing

Lena obeyed. With a soft click, he snapped the photo, then walked back over and handed her the phone.
On the screen, the photo showed her standing at the peak of a snow-covered mountain, gazing up at the sky.

Aaron’s gaze deepened, unreadable. “I had a lot of free toverseas. Drawing keptoccupied.”
“What did you draw while you were abroad?” Lena asked curiously.
Aaron's lips moved slightly before he finally murmured, “...You.”
