“Are you watching the snow?” When Lu Xingxue came out of the shower, Jiang Ci was lying on the windowsill in a daze.
She opened the curtain by a wide gap. From this angle, she could see that there was a street lamp outside with snowflakes covering the lampshade. When the cold wind blows, it rustles down.
There was occasional falling snow in the air.
“I thought it was going to last a long time, but it seemed that it was about to stop.” Jiang Ci said, turning around, Lu Xingxue went straight to the bed. She thought that the two had been married for more than three years, but this was the first time they slept in the same bed—it seemed strange that they weren’t familiar enough to share the same quilt.
Lu Xingxue casually asked: “Do you like snow?”
“I like it.” Jiang Ci replied as she pleased, but she realized that Lu Xingxue’s name had the word ‘snow’ before she finished speaking. She glared for a few seconds before changing her words: “It’s okay, just so-so, and there is nothing to like or dislike.”
Lu Xingxue: “…”
Without metaphor, Lu Xingxue naturally did not notice Jiang Ci’s subtle and careful thoughts. At this time, she stopped at the head of the bed and faced it: “Where are you used to sleeping, Jiang Ci?”
Jiang Ci was nonchalant. “Anywhere will do.”
“Oh~” Lu Xingxue raised the corner of the quilt: “Then I will sleep here?”
Jiang Ci lightly lifted her chin, signalling to let her feel free.
Lu Xingxue smiled unabatedly: “I sleep well.”
Jiang Ci leaned back against the window edge: “…Me too.”
Lu Xingxue: “I won’t move around, and I won’t take up a lot of space.”
Jiang Ci nodded.
Lu Xingxue: “I don’t grind my teeth, snore, or talk in my sleep.”
Jiang Ci made an “OK” gesture. As a temporary bed partner, both of them are undoubtedly qualified.
“…Of course, if you are not used to it, I can also sleep on the floor. There should be extra blankets, right?” Lu Xingxue pointed to the big closet in the corner.
This proposal really made Jiang Ci’s heart skip a beat, but before she had time to act, Jiang Lin’s voice came into the house along with a knock on the door: “Xiao Bai, Ah-Ci, are you both asleep?”
“…” Jiang Ci wakes up like a dream. If she dared to let Lu Xingxue sleep on the floor, it is no exaggeration to say that she could expect Jiang Lin to do something terrible.
“Go to bed, I’ll open the door.” Jiang Ci made a final conclusion, and then opened the door for
Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was holding a tray with two cups of milk on the tray. As soon as the door opened, she walked towards Lu Xingxue in the room with a big smile: “I’ve brought milk for you to warm up with. Drink it while it’s hot before going to bed.”
Jiang Ci leaned behind her and asked, “Does Tong Zhenni have it?”
Jiang Lin didn’t expect that she would mention this, she was obviously taken aback: “…Yes, of course there is, and Hao Hao, you all have four.”
Jiang Ci didn’t ask anything else, Lu Xingxue thanked her and picked up the tray: “Thank you mom.”
Jiang Lin waved her hand, caring: “Xiao Bai, if you are missing something or want something here, you must tell me, don’t get out of sight.”
Lu Xingxue smiled and promised her: “Okay.”
Jiang Lin looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the bed: “Where is the quilt? Is it thin? The heating in Hao Hao’s room is not good, so I gave him a quilt.”
As Jiang Ci listened, her heart moved again, as if she was more acceptable in the same bed but with a different quilt. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin’s eyes turned back to the two of them: “But the temperature here is good for you, and the two of you sleep and hold each other, so it won’t get too cold.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
Lu Xingxue: “…”
“Drink milk and rest early. Mom won’t disturb you anymore.” Jiang Lin took away the tray, closed the door and left, the room was quiet again.
Lu Xingxue handed one of the cups of milk to Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci took it. The heat on the glass was transmitted from the palm of her hand to her body, and the tips of her ears were secretly red.
Lu Xingxue smiled: “Did your mother always warm up your bedtime milk since you were a child?”
Jiang Ci wanted to say no. Jiang Lin probably used milk delivery as an excuse to “care about’ their cohabitation… Those Jiang Lin’s words are embarrassing enough. Jiang Ci really doesn’t want to get double embarrassment. She said: “Sometimes, it depends on her mood.”
Lu Xingxue: “Oh.”
After drinking a few sips, Jiang Ci put aside the milk cup: “I’m going to brush my teeth.”
Two electric toothbrushes of the same model and color were standing on the washing table.
Jiang Ci was stunned. She didn’t know that Lu Xingxue’s toothbrush was the same as her own, and she couldn’t determine which position of the toothbrush belonged to her.
Jiang Ci had to exit the bathroom and asked Lu Xingxue: “Which toothbrush is mine?”
Lu Xingxue put down the milk and walked over: “The one on the left, I just changed the brush head.”
Jiang Ci went in to observe the brush head, and the degree of fading of the bristles was indeed different.
She picked up her toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste to brush her teeth, and Lu Xingxue followed closely behind. There was an electric buzzing sound in the small space, and the two looked at each other in the mirror, there was toothpaste spilling over Jiang Ci’s lips, Lu Xingxue chuckled.
Jiang Ci stared at herself in the mirror, her ears were red again.
It was late, the lights in the room were turned off, and the room was quiet. The two of them lay on their backs on their own side of the bed, and there was a distance between them—like the time Lu Xingxue came to find Jiang Ci for afternoon tea with a cake—the “Chu River and Han Jie” divided the two of them.
“Are you tired today?” Lu Xingxue lowered her voice: “You haven’t closed your eyes much since you left home, right?”
After finishing her busy schedule, she laid down like this after everything was quiet, and finally got out of her work clothes when she was tired. Jiang Ci rubbed her dry eyes: “Fortunately, I slept in the car.”
Lu Xingxue calculated the time: “That didn’t take long.”
Jiang Ci “Well… how about your acquisition meeting? How was the talk?”
Lu Xingxue: “It’s fine too.”
When talking about this, Lu Xingxue remembered something, she got up, moving through the dark to go through the luggage: “I remember wearing a blindfold, do you want one?”
“How much?” Jiang Ci half propped up her arms and looked at Lu Xingxue’s silhouette: “Do you want to turn on the lights?”
Lu Xingxue: “There are so many, I found it.”
Lu Xingxue gave Jiang Ci a piece of the blindfold, Jiang Ci tore the package, put on the blindfold, and immediately plunged into a pure black.
She fumbled and was about to lie down, her eyebrows suddenly warmed.
Lu Xingxue reached out and touched her eyebrows to the tip of her nose: “You’re wearing it upside down, wait a minute.”
She leaned over and took off Jiang Ci’s blindfold.
The blackout curtains did not completely block the light, and the street lights and snow filled the room quietly. With this gleam of light, the two looked at each other in the dim darkness.
Far away, there was a dog barking at night.
Jiang Ci’s heart was beating rapidly.
“That’s right.” Lu Xingxue turned the blindfold upside down and re-covered Jiang Ci’s eyes. At the same time, she traced a circle behind her ears and fastened the straps.
“…” Jiang Ci touched the blindfold: “I didn’t pay attention, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Lu Xingxue stared at Jiang Ci’s opened lips until she lay down before opening her blindfold and putting it on: “Good night.”
The blindfold has already started to heat up, Jiang Ci sinking into the pillow, breathing smoothly: “…good night.”
No one talks anymore. She was not sure how long it took, but there was almost no heat on the blindfold, and Jiang Ci eventually fell asleep in a daze.
Lu Xingxue’s soft body wrapped around in the dead of silence.
Jiang Ci has always had a light sleep, and her spirit was instantly awakened. She pulled down the blindfold with sleepy eyes, and saw Lu Xingxue lying on her side. She was resting on Jiang Ci’s pillow, hugging Jiang Ci’s arms, and her bent knees were tightly attached to Jiang Ci. The two were too close together, Jiang Ci could even feel the temperature of Lu Xingxue’s breath on her neck.
“… Lu Xingxue?” Jiang Ci called her.
There was no response, Lu Xingxue should have fallen asleep.
Jiang Ci pulled out her arm and turned her back, but after a while, Lu Xingxue searched for her body temperature again.
Jiang Ci: “…” If you say you sleep well, doesn’t that mean you won’t move!?
Jiang Ci struggled to get up and turned her head to see that Lu Xingxue shrank, like a poor little animal that feared the cold.
Are you afraid of the cold? …But it’s warm in the room?
Looking around, Jiang Ci lay down again and put on the blindfold.
The next day, Jiang Ci was awakened by Tong Junhao’s cheers. She opened her eyes, the
blindfold was missing, and Lu Xingxue was no longer in the room.
Hearing that Tong Junhao was downstairs, Jiang Ci got up and looked out the window.
Lu Xingxue was building a snowman with Tong Junhao on the snow. Jiang Ci looked at him on his stomach for a while, and saw that the snowman was almost finished before she went to wash and change her clothes.
When she came downstairs, sheI met Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin pulled her aside: “I just asked. Lu Xingxue said that she slept well last night. It seems that the Chinese medicine doctor is really capable. If you go back, you will move together. At a young age, how can there be a couple who sleep in separate rooms?”
Jiang Ci: “Two rooms? Oh.”
Jiang Lin saw that she was not positive: “Are you sleeping stupid?”
By the door, Tong Xinyu opened her head and poked her head. As soon as she spotted Jiang Ci’s figure, she raised her toes and her eyes beamed: “Sister!”
Jiang Lin still muttered, Jiang Ci just took the opportunity to slip away.
Tong Xinyu retired to the door, and when Jiang Ci came over, she squeezed again: “I was… my mother was actually… blind! Sister, I’m sorry!”
She bowed solemnly.
“…” Jiang Ci said: “It’s okay, did you ask me for something?”
Tong Xinyu glanced back, suppressing excitement: “I saw Lu Xingxue! Sister, can I find her to take a picture? She won’t refuse me, will she?”
Jiang Ci: “…You can try it.”
Tong Xinyu begged Jiang Ci, “If she refuses me, sister, can you help me say something good?”
She clasped her hands and was full of expectation, Jiang Ci helplessly said: “Let’s go.”
Tong Xinyu ran all the way to find Lu Xingxue. She didn’t know what was said, Lu Xingxue looked in Jiang Ci’s direction, and then nodded to Tong Xinyu.
“Sister, sister! Take a picture! Take a picture for us!” Tong Xinyu jumped back in joy, put her mobile phone into Jiang Ci’s hand, and ran to Lu Xingxue’s concave shape without stopping.
Jiang Ci looked for an angle to take a few group photos of them, and was about to return the phone to Tong Xinyu. Tong Xinyu made a new request: “Wait, sister, wait, then I would like to take another one.”
She blushed and stammered to ask Lu Xingxue’s consent: “Um… May I hold your hand? Only by holding hands to take pictures, it seems that we are close to each other…”
Lu Xingxue patiently listened to her and took off her leather gloves: “My hands are a little bit icy…”
Tong Xinyu screamed frantically in her heart, carefully holding Lu Xingxue’s fingertips. After Jiang Ci took the picture for them, Tong Xinyu took back her phone and looked up and down: “Fantastic! Now I will take some pictures for you!”
Jiang Ci “…Huh?”
The sun came out, and the white snow refracted the sunlight. Tong Junhao didn’t know what new gameplay he had developed, and he kept spinning around the snowman like a fool.
Tong Xinyu holds a mobile phone in one hand, and compares the countdown with the other:
“3…”
“Good morning.” Lu Xingxue looked at the camera and spoke to Jiang Ci in a low voice.
“2…”
The two stood side by side, Lu Xingxue’s breath curled across Jiang Ci’s cheeks accompanied by a clear cold wind. Jiang Ci remembered Lu Xingxue’s body temperature in the dark night and her rich fragrance.
“1!”
The moment Tong Xinyu pressed the shutter, Lu Xingxue smiled softly.
In the frozen picture, Jiang Ci’s eyes widened.
Tong Xinyu: “Ooooooooooooooo sweet, so sweet!”
—Lu Xingxue held Jiang Ci’s hand.
