Outside the window, goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered, and the north wind was silent and still, interweaving into a hazy snow curtain. A thick layer of snow slowly fell on the ground, covering the sky and the earth with silver.

There was a sudden commotion outside the door. Lu Youqing pushed the door open and saw Qin Ke coming back from outside, wearing a thick black cloak. There was a layer of snow on his cloak and hair. His cheeks and nose were slightly red from the cold, and the wind and snow wet the fur on his collar.

Suddenly, there was a sound of dog barking outside the wooden gate. It turned out that someone was returning home in the wind and snow.

"Why do you have to go there in the wind and snow? Look at you, your hands are frozen purple." Lu Youqing hurriedly reached out to pull him into the house.

Qin Ke, however, spread out his ink-black cloak with a smile on his face, revealing a bunch of red plums that he had been carefully holding.

The red flowers with green calyx are delicate and beautiful, graceful and lovable. Against the backdrop of the white snow, they are even more dazzling and you can faintly smell the faint fragrance of the flowers floating in the air.

"I heard from Nan Qiao that there is a red plum garden next to a nearby temple. It is in full bloom now. The red plum blossoms and the white snow are the best match. I thought of picking a few for you to enjoy."

Lu Youqing took the bunch of red plum blossoms he handed over. Its branches were rough and strong, but the petals were as bright as blood, and their fragrance was more fragrant than orchids. She put them to her nose and gently sniffed the faint fragrance.

She had seen a garden full of red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, but none of them were as intoxicating as the one in her hand.

"Put it in the indigo-colored long-necked vase in the bedroom, and enjoy it in your spare time, so you won't be bored in winter." Qin Ke took off his cloak and hung it aside, then ran to the fireplace to warm his hands.

When he built the house, he took the issue of winter heating into consideration, so he installed a fireplace in the house, following the European example, leaving a passage on top. The flue was made of clay, and as the smoke circulated in the fire wall, it would accumulate heat and make the house warm.

Therefore, Qin Ke's home, especially the bedroom, was warm and comfortable, with a strong sense of warmth, which formed an extreme contrast with the cold outside.

Lu Youqing first poured him a cup of hot tea to warm him up, then turned around and sat at the table, trimming the branches and inserting them into the long bottle one by one, her movements elegant and quiet.

After Qin Ke felt warm, he sat in front of her, holding his chin and looking at her eagerly.

The more I look at it, the happier I feel.

Hearing the sound outside the window getting smaller and smaller, Qin Ke opened the window and looked out, then turned his head expectantly: "My wife, let's go out and enjoy the snow."

"Didn't you just come back from outside?"

"Go ahead!" The voice was soft and gentle, with a tone of coaxing and persuading.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be interested, Qin Ke used his trump card.

"Ok."

The sky had darkened, and the moonlight was shining, cold and bright, like a galaxy of stars or broken jade, as if one were in a painting.

Qin Ke held her hand, and the two of them strolled leisurely in the snow. Their feet could hear the squeaking sound on the snow.

While Lu Youqing was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Qin Ke gave Han Qi and the others a subtle wink.

The branches were covered with patches of snow, and the view before my eyes was a sea of ​​white.

In June, when they saw them go out, they followed them happily. After running ahead of them, they turned their heads and saw that they were walking slowly, so they ran back. They chased and played with each other, rolling in the snow, with a layer of snow grains on their fur.

They are having fun and it is fun to watch them playing there.

"Ma'am, why don't we build a snowman?"

Lu Youqing was already afraid of him, and was afraid that he would act coquettishly towards her again, so she simply nodded.

He scooped up some snow from the ground, rolled it into a ball with his hands, and then rolled it on the snow. After a few rounds, the snowball grew bigger. They thought he was playing with something fun, so they came over and crowded around his knees, sniffing everything, and flapped their fan-like tails on his clothes.

Qin Ke, who was harassed to the point of being unable to bear it any longer, put down the snowball in his hand, picked up Shiwu and threw him into the snow pile beside him.

Fifteen was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, stood up and shook off the snow on his body. He seemed to find it quite interesting, and ran over happily to play again.

Qin Ke had a look of helplessness in her eyes, and she had no choice but to play with them.

Lu Youqing looked at the scene in front of him, and somehow, he inexplicably thought that if he had a child, he would definitely be a father who could play with the child.

After realizing what she had thought of, Lu Youqing pursed her lips, and her ears became a little pink.

Seeing that Qin Ke couldn't get his hand free, she squatted down, with her long black hair hanging on her shoulders, and continued to rub the snowball that Qin Ke had put aside. After rubbing it for a few minutes, she went to roll it in the snow and rolled a bigger snowball.

Qin Ke noticed her actions, finally sent a few of them away, and then came over.

Lu Youqing kneaded the snowball with her slender fingers, her face calm and peaceful. The piles of white snow on the trees and the moonlight were right above her head, like a canopy leaning down, dazzling and beautiful.

Qin Ke made another snowball. He moved quickly and soon the snowball in his hand was much bigger than the one in Lu Youqing's hand.

Seeing that they were about the same size, Qin Ke took the snowball from Lu Youqing's hand, put the two snowballs together, and made a small snowman.

"Madam, wait for me."

Qin Ke clapped his hands, thinking that it should be decorated with some embellishments, and hurried into the yard.

Lu Youqing stood quietly by the side, looking at the little snowman standing in the snow, with a hint of tenderness in her amber eyes.

It took Qin Ke a little time, but Lu Youqing knew his intention just by looking at what he held in his hand.

"Don't make trouble. If you break the snowman, I will deduct your food tomorrow." Qin Ke threatened June and the others cautiously.

"It looks quite strange." Lu Youqing looked at the red nose of the snowman and the brooms stuck on both sides.

Looks dull and stupid.

But surprisingly cute.

"Okay, let's go back." Qin Ke's clear eyes turned.

There was a light breeze at night, and snowflakes fell from the trees. Lu Youqing took a few steps forward and brushed away the thin snow on his shoulders.

"Go back."

She just thought that Qin Ke had had enough fun, and she was always very indulgent in such matters.

The two people walked into the yard along the snow-covered ground that was shining with silver light. They pushed open the gate, and Lu Youqing couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

I saw that the originally cold and snow-white courtyard was now hung with red paper lanterns. As the night wind blew, the lanterns swayed, and the brilliant lights emitted a soft halo through the snow curtain.

From the courtyard gate to the door of the house, lanterns on both sides illuminated their way home.

"Is this why you asked me to go out and enjoy the snow?"

Lu Youqing was very smart. She only needed to think about it to know why Qin Ke had to ask her out even though he had just returned from outside.
