The useless second daughter of the Hua family

In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the man stood tall, wearing a white fur-collared cloak, with his back turned to look at the lake surface covered with thin ice.

Hua Miaomiao's eyes felt hot as she watched. She had a feeling in her heart and she hurried forward towards this feeling.

Hurry up, hurry up! The branches on the roadside caught her dress, but she ignored them and was finally dragged down.

She lay on the snow, trembling with excitement and unable to get up, so she used all her strength to shout, "Ge Qinglan!"

When Ge Qinglan heard her voice, he turned around but saw no one. He walked in the direction of doubt and saw Hua Miaomiao lying on the ground, her skirt hanging on the branches, and the melted snow mixed with mud stained her clothes. She had a pursed mouth and red eyes, like an abandoned kitten.

While helping her untie the knotted hem of her skirt, he joked, "I know you want to be my husband, but you don't have to prostrate yourself on me."

As soon as Hua Miaomiao escaped, she bit his wrist hard.

Ge Qinglan did not stop her, but helped her up. He knew that she was sad, scared, and helpless during this period. It was his fault.

"Miaomiao, I'm back."

Hua Miaomiao let go, threw herself into Ge Qinglan's arms, and started crying loudly.

"You still remember to come back. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Silly girl!" Ge Qinglan wrapped her tightly in his cloak and carried her back to the house like a child.

"Xiaoyu, get some hot water."

"Yes."

Xiuzhu nodded at him and left the room on his own accord.

Hua Miaomiao's clothes were soaked by the snow and she was shivering from the cold. Ge Qinglan put her in the bathtub filled with hot water with her clothes on.

"Where are you going?" Hua Miaomiao grabbed Ge Qinglan who was about to leave.

"Don't worry, I'm in the outer room. I won't be far away. I promise I'll answer you as soon as you call me."

Then, he changed his expression to be cynical, "Or, Miaomiao wants to invite her husband to take a bath with her?"

Hua Miaomiao's face turned red, she glared at him coquettishly, and a word came out of her mouth.

"roll!"

Ge Qinglan sat in the outer room, looking around at everything in the house. He had come uninvited countless times before, and there were traces of him in almost every corner of the house. Looking back now, it felt as if he was in another world, and scenes from the past appeared before his eyes.

"Ge Qinglan? Ge Ergou!"

Because he was distracted, Hua Miaomiao called him several times but got no response. She got out of the bathtub anxiously, wrapped herself in a piece of clothing and looked out.

When Ge Qinglan turned around, he saw Hua Miaomiao sticking her head out from behind the screen, her dripping hair extending down her neck, her wet clothes faintly visible...

He withdrew his gaze, turned around suddenly, and his ears turned red.

"My dear, you are too polite. After all, I am still a man."

Hua Miaomiao then realized that something was wrong with her. She quickly went back behind the screen and tidied her clothes.

When Hua Miaomiao came out again, she was wrapped up very tightly. Ge Qinglan teased her, and Hua Miaomiao became angry and slapped the table, as if to settle a score.

"Who said that I can get what I want just by shouting?"

Ge Qinglan knew he was in the wrong and quickly apologized.

"My fault. I got distracted."

"what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking about the story of a little thief and a little poor thing in this small courtyard."

Talking about the past, Hua Miaomiao was also somewhat moved.

"So what's the end of the story?"

"Later, the poor little girl became a beloved little lady."

"What about the little thief?"

"The little thief became a great hero who can protect the young lady forever."

"Are they happy?"

"them……"

Ge Qinglan was silent. He didn't know how to make this ending perfect.

Hua Miaomiao leaned over and hugged his waist tightly, as if she wanted to melt into his body.

"They will always be together and live happily, right?"

"Miaomiao..."

Ge Qinglan choked up. His Miaomiao knew everything but he pretended not to know just to force a happy ending.

The snow outside the window gradually became smaller, and Ge Qinglan suddenly said to Hua Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, I will take you to play in the snow."

I can't accompany you to appreciate the lotus in summer, but at least I can accompany you to appreciate the snow in winter.

He wrapped Hua Miaomiao into a ball and carried her out upright.

"Ge Qinglan, are you sure you want to play with me in the snow, not play with me?"

The heavy cloak wrapped her from head to toe, and there was another belt tied around her waist. She couldn't stretch her arms or legs, so how could she play?

"That's it, just watch, don't do anything. I feel bad if you get frozen."

"..."

After Hua Miaomiao protested and assured him many times, Ge Qinglan agreed to untie her belt. But as soon as he let go, she ran out like a rabbit.

Hua Miaomiao ran in front, and Ge Qinglan chased after her. Xiuzhu looked at the two childish kids having fun in the garden, his eyes full of helplessness, but the corners of his mouth rose quietly.

"Hua Miaomiao, stop making trouble. New Year's Eve is coming soon. Do you want to spend the New Year sick?"

Ge Qinglan grabbed her, but due to the unstable center of gravity, the two of them crashed into a tree nearby. The accumulated blood fell down and hit them all over.

Hua Miaomiao looked at Ge Qinglan with shining eyes, "Ge Qinglan, your hair has turned white."

"You too, Grandma Hua!"

"Grandpa Ge!"

Ge Qinglan cleared the snow off her head, pulled her hat on, then bent down and picked her up.

"Don't act like this again in the future," he said earnestly.

"Okay." Hua Miaomiao buried her head in his arms and responded obediently.

"I just remembered that when I entered the mansion this morning, my father-in-law asked me to call you to dinner."

"..."

Hua Miaomiao looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, feeling helpless for a moment.

Today, Hua Miaomiao's yard was watered twice, and Hua Ruling's face turned green after hearing this. Mrs. Wu comforted her, saying that it was a good thing for young people, and that they might have a grandchild next year. However, Hua Ruling's face became even uglier after hearing this. Hua Niaoniao was a little helpless, and hurriedly handed her mother hot tea, fearing that she would say something else and make her father angry.

It was not until noon that Hua Miaomiao and Ge Qinglan finally arrived. Seeing the happiness written all over her daughter's face, Hua Ruling didn't know what to say, and only glared at Ge Qinglan secretly.

At night, Hua Miaomiao woke up and found that Ge Qinglan was not around.

She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, she just got up and rushed out of the house.

Ge Qinglan watched her passing by like the wind and hurriedly called out to her.

"Hey, why are you going?"

Hua Miaomiao steadied her steps and saw Ge Qinglan standing beside the desk, looking at her with interest.

Hua Miaomiao was a little embarrassed, and she walked away pretending nothing had happened.

It turned out that Ge Qinglan was drawing a picture of the scene where they were playing in the snow.

"This is our first time to enjoy the snow, and I want to record it."

"It's a great painting." Hua Miaomiao praised sincerely. She took the pen and wrote a few beautiful words on the edge.

"Today I am soaked in the snow with you, and we will grow old together in this life."
