It snowed.

In Huhai, which has a subtropical maritime climate, it does not snow every year, so whenever it does snow, it somewhat feels like southerners spotting a treasure.

The falling snowflakes aren’t very big, but against the backdrop of withered and desolate winter scenery, these flecks of snow are stunningly gorgeous.

Yao Mingyue held snowflakes in her hands, which quickly melted upon touching her fingertips. A few snowflakes landed on her lush, long eyelashes, resembling sprinkled fragments of starlight.

"I wonder if it’s snowed in Zheng City, the snow there must be much heavier than here." Xu Musen watched the snowflakes drifting down, knowing well that a place like Huhai wouldn’t experience heavy snowfall, as snow would always melt quickly upon landing on his hands.

"Because it’s rare, it seems precious."

Yao Mingyue looked up, her breath appearing like cotton candy as she spoke, "Xu Musen, I want to build a snowman."

As childhood friends, building snowmen together was always an essential part of their yearly routine.

But ever since Yao Mingyue’s father’s incident, every time she built a snowman, those memories would surface.

In the past, it was always the two families together, but now, the number of people who could accompany her had dwindled.

"This snow isn’t enough to build a snowman, let’s wait until we get back to Zheng City."

Xu Musen glanced at the ground’s thin layer of snow, thinking that even forming a snowball from it would be an achievement.

"I’m afraid that when we go back, what if it doesn’t snow…"

Yao Mingyue held the snowflakes in her hand, watching them melt bit by bit, like water slipping through her fingers, the harder she tried to hold on, the quieter it slipped away.

"This year even Huhai is getting snow; Zheng City is bound to have some. I guarantee it."

"You guarantee it? Since when does the weather listen to you?" Yao Mingyue pouted, thinking how boys will make any promise to coax a girl to go to sleep.

"It’s possible."

Xu Musen smiled, knowing Heaven won’t listen to him, but he remembered this year being quite cold, and Zheng City even issued an orange blizzard warning for two days.

Yet, seeing Yao Mingyue’s slightly disappointed face, and again looking at the ground where only a thin layer of snow lay, the greenbelts on both sides of the campus had indeed accumulated a layer of white snow.

"Let’s go, don’t freeze."

Xu Musen interrupted her snow play.

He remembered Yao Mingyue’s body was somewhat cold-sensitive. The downpour six years ago, combined with sweeping emotional changes, had left her constitution somewhat fragile.

"If I get sick, will you take care of me?"

Yao Mingyue stopped playing with the snow and abruptly asked.

"I’ll take care of you, but I won’t always be there with you."

Xu Musen gave his answer.

Clearly dissatisfied with the response, Yao Mingyue pouted, "Tch, as if I care. No one else would put up with you except for me, unless they’re out of their mind…"

With her words, she was promoting herself while indirectly casting a snide remark at An Nuannuan.

Xu Musen found it a bit amusing; she was truly childish.

Yao Mingyue walked ahead, reaching out for the drifting snowflakes, while Xu Musen followed behind her, his hands lightly brushing the greenbelts on both sides.

The path wasn’t long, but the two took much longer than usual to traverse it.

The night deepened, and there were hardly any people left at the girls’ dormitory entrance.

The dormitory’s caretaker, still as dutiful as ever, stood at the entrance waiting for the time to lock up.

Yao Mingyue knew this path had come to an end. She looked at the warm lights of the dormitory building, then turned to look back at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen stood with hands behind his back, appearing somewhat distracted.

Hmph, what should’ve been a romantic snowy night’s walk, but he acted like it was just a task to be completed, the typical emotionally obtuse man!

"Hey, I’m going back then."

"Okay."

Xu Musen nodded.

His hands were still behind him, showing no intent of saying anything more.

Yao Mingyue stared at him for a long time, and finally snorted. Xu Musen had already washed up earlier, he had just put on an overcoat to step out.

Now with the snowfall, the temperature dropped several degrees more.

Even if boys can withstand the cold better, walking back in such coldness he might still catch a cold.

She pursed her lips and took another step towards him.

Just like those young couples under the girls’ dormitory, who had been all lovey-dovey all day, but when it came time to part, they would still turn around and throw themselves into an embrace for one last cuddle. Discover hidden content at novelbuddy

But Yao Mingyue lacked those girlish cuddly gestures; she chose to strip instead.

The girl took off her down jacket, leaving her in a white turtleneck sweater that gently followed the contours of her body, as if unveiling a huge treasure.

"What are you doing?"

Before Xu Musen could react, Yao Mingyue had already draped her warm down jacket gently over him.

"Consider it a loan for escorting me back. Don’t you dare catch cold; unlike you, I would be distressed and accompany you every day."

Yao Mingyue slowly adjusted the corners of his jacket, but she shivered slightly from the cold.

Xu Musen’s gaze shifted, and as he looked at Yao Mingyue, they were so close that a mere tiptoe away could bridge the gap between them.

Yao Mingyue stared at him without blinking, her gaze moving from Xu Musen’s eyes to his nose, then his lips.

She moved her lips slightly.

For a moment, it was as if they had forgotten the cold.
