This winter snow arrived earlier than predicted by the weather forecast.
By midnight, the heavy snow had covered the ground, and the persimmon tree in front of the yard was also adorned with a layer of white. The houses in the village seemed to have gained a layer of white tiles.
Chen Yan walked into the yard, stepping back and forth in the snow, listening to the crunching sound beneath his feet, feeling a bit excited inside.
After all, his old countryside home was closer to the north than Jinling Prefecture, and the winter snow was more abundant than in Jinling Prefecture. Such heavy snow could not be seen in Jinling Prefecture.
Chen Yan turned around and saw Gu Qingyi already awake, leaning against the hall door frame, looking up at the sky...
Snowflakes were still floating in the air, Chen Yan breathed out white puffs and laughed, "You’re up? I haven’t asked you before, does it snow in your Domain Realm?"
"Yes, it does, but I’ve seen it less often." Gu Qingyi said softly, stepping into the snow, bending down to grab a handful of snow and carefully rubbing it in her palm, then sighed quietly, "Is the snow in your world all white? It looks so clean."
Chen Yan’s heart stirred, "Isn’t the snow white in your place?"
"Yes, there is white snow, and also... other colors." Gu Qingyi did not want to say more, lowering her head to knead the snowball, feeling the cold of the snow on her fingertips.
After a while, snowflakes landed on her hair and clothes, without her noticing, she sighed softly.
"This world of yours... is really nice."
Lu Sisi grew up in the city - any girl who grew up in the city does not have the habit of waking up early during holidays.
After all, it’s finally a holiday, who would be a good person to get up at seven or eight in the morning?
Lu Sisi had actually set an eight o’clock alarm... It’s her first time visiting Chen Yan’s old home, staying at someone else’s house, she didn’t want to leave an impression of being lazy and sleeping in.
However... before dawn, the village was filled with the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking, severely affecting the girl’s sleep, sleeping intermittently and becoming more and more drowsy.
At eight in the morning, her alarm did ring, but at that moment, the girl was in a daze, she turned off the alarm, thinking, I’ll rest for five more minutes, just five more minutes...
As a result, when she opened her eyes again, she looked at the phone and was stunned.
It was ten thirty in the morning!
Lu Sisi hurriedly got up in a panic, fumblingly putting on clothes, rushing out of the room without even tidying her hair.
As soon as she opened the door, a burst of cold air greeted her, causing her body to shiver violently after sleeping in an air-conditioned room all night.
But soon, seeing the scene outside the house, the girl’s fear and anxiety were instantly replaced by surprise.
"It’s snowing! Such heavy snow?"
Chen Yan was already standing in the yard, holding a shovel and clearing the snow. He glanced at Lu Sisi and smiled, "You’re up? Do you want to build a snowman this morning?"
Lu Sisi was stunned for a moment, then revealed an excited expression, nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes!!"
She had grown up in Jinling Prefecture and besides going to Port City, she rarely traveled to other places.
Although Jinling Prefecture occasionally sees snow in winter, it’s usually light, and in recent years, due to global warming, it has been snowing less and less.
So seeing such heavy snow, Lu Sisi was filled with wonder.
Chen Yan put down the shovel and walked over to Lu Sisi, helping to adjust the down jacket that she hadn’t zipped properly, laughing lowly, "It’s cold, don’t catch a cold. You should go wash up and have breakfast."
Seeing Chen Yan reach out to adjust her jacket, this intimate gesture made the girl blush, she lowered her head and replied softly, "Oh, okay."
Breakfast was porridge with pickles and fried eggs. Lu Sisi was so captivated by the snow outside that she quickly gulped down her food and then ran outside.
Chen Yan had already cleared a path in the yard, handing a shovel and a spade to Lu Sisi, letting her play with the snow as she wished.
He himself turned and left, going to the village to borrow an electric tricycle from a neighbor.
Pushing the tricycle back to the yard, Lu Sisi had already built a snow pile, squatting on the ground and patting with her cold red hands, seemingly trying to make the snowman’s head. Gu Qingyi stood at the hall door, breathing white puffs, staring at the snow.
Chen Yan pressed the horn on the tricycle, startling the two girls.
"Where did you get the tricycle?" Gu Qingyi asked.
"Borrowed it from someone." Chen Yan quickly smiled, "I’m going to the town market to buy groceries, do you want to come?"
Both girls responded, Lu Sisi was even more excited.
"Right, we need to buy some things from the town market, the house doesn’t have much food. We’ll have lunch at a restaurant in the town."
Chen Yan patted the electric tricycle, "Hop on."
The electric tricycle wasn’t big, but it could easily fit two girls.
Gu Qingyi was quite interested in riding the tricycle herself.
But Chen Yan immediately refused... the tricycle was borrowed, if Young Lady Gu accidentally rode it into a ditch, his cultivation could protect Lu Sisi, preventing any harm to people.
But how would he repay the tricycle’s owner?
Before getting on, Lu Sisi rushed into the house, coming out with a scarf in her hand, she put it around Chen Yan’s neck without saying a word, then jumped onto the tricycle with a blush.
The town was about three kilometers away from the village, but the snowy roads were slippery, driving slowly took twenty minutes to reach.
After stopping at the town entrance, Chen Yan got off the tricycle, Lu Sisi had already jumped off and ran over, helping Chen Yan brush off the snow on his body. She looked at him with concern, reaching out to touch his hair, whispering, "Your face is frozen red."
