Chapter 46 Stupid or Not

Su Mi happily raised her hand to catch the snowflakes, but unfortunately, they melted after just a moment on her fingertips.

Even so, it is very rare for her who has lived in a place with warm winters for a long time.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Xuanjin beside her, but found that he was staring at the snow in a trance, with a dark bottom in his eyes, like the dark twilight.

Thinking that his grandfather’s death anniversary is approaching, maybe it’s because he misses his grandfather.

Thinking of this, Su Mi opened his arms and reached out to catch the snow.

When I felt snowflakes falling in my palms, I held them in front of Xiao Xuanjin.

"Xiao Jinjin, look, what is this?"

Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the snowflakes and watermarks on her palm and asked in a low voice, "What?"

Su Mi raised her lips, her brows curved, and her smile was as bright as the clouds. "This is frost, or it could be a cold and sharp blade without any temperature, but now I have melted it."

The warm light from the terrace shone on her, and her beautiful face was covered with gorgeous colors. Everything around her was eclipsed and no longer had any luster. The only thing in sight was her holding the snowflakes that had melted into water stains.

Xiao Xuanjin's eyes reflected her smiling face, and a light came quietly. He laughed, "Silly or not."

After saying that, he wrapped his big palm around her hand and passed the warmth of his palm to her.

Su Mi's cold little hands were quickly warmed up by him.

I could still hear Fang Yutong directing He Fei to help her build a snowman.

And Liao Qian was drinking wine and talking to Wu Cheng and Wen Kai like brothers.

Su Mi looked into the distance. In just a moment, the city was covered in a layer of white. The world seemed to be quiet.

…

When the party ended, everyone was drunk and the driver drove them back to school.

After getting off the car, Liao Qian and Fang Yutong walked away supporting each other, muttering to themselves that they must build a snowman tomorrow.

Several boys also went back to the boys' dormitory together.

Xiao Xuanjin and Su Mi stood in front of the car, with snowflakes flying between them, some falling on their shoulders and some getting stuck in their hair.

Xiao Xuanjin stood in the snow in a black leather long windbreaker, his deep eyes reflecting the falling snowflakes.

Su Mi stared at him and saw tiny crystal snowflakes clinging to his dark eyelashes.

He blinked his eyes slightly, and the snowflakes trembled slightly, but stubbornly refused to leave at all, as if they were greedy for the warmth of his eyelashes.

She raised her hand to touch it, but she felt his eyelashes gently scraping against her fingertips, like a feather brushing against her, making her feel itchy.

Xiao Xuanjin grabbed her rebellious hand and asked, "Why don't you reply?"

"I..." Su Mi knew that he was not planning to go back to the dormitory, and he would not come to school in the next few days.

"Go back quickly, I won't go in." Xiao Xuanjin was already urging her.

Su Mi still remembered what the system said, and now he wanted to try his best.

He looked up and asked cautiously, "How about you leave tomorrow?"

His pupils were so dark that it was hard to tell what he was feeling. "Be good, go back."

There is absolutely no room for negotiation.

Su Mi knew that he must be feeling bad right now, so she held his hand tightly and said, "You didn't come for so long, I just wanted to stay with you for a while longer."

If it were any other time, he would definitely make some jokes about being reluctant to let him go.

But today, he was serious, "Message me when you miss me."

Su Mi bravely asked, "Can I come find you then?"

"cannot."

Being rejected again, Su Mi did not give up. "Then I won't look for you, but I need to know your whereabouts. You can't refuse to agree to such a request."

This time, Xiao Xuanjin thought for a moment and said, "It's cold. Let's go back quickly."

Is this a promise or not?

Su Mi wanted to say something, but Xiao Xuanjin had already let go of her hand, turned around and opened the car door. His leather coat was blown backwards by the wind, making a slight rustling sound, like wings fluttering in the dark night, fanning his determination and resoluteness.

Su Mi stood there and looked at him.

Xiao Xuanjin turned around and saw that she hadn't left yet, "Huh? You're not coming back yet?"

Su Mi went up and grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with wet eyes, "You haven't promised me yet."

Xiao Xuanjin looked down at her small, pale pink thumbs pulling out piles of wrinkles on his clothes, like a steep hillside, rugged and yet endless.

Finally, he gave in and left a message, "Remember to pay attention to your phone messages."

Then he got in the car and drove away.

Su Mi stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as long as he agreed to report his whereabouts, she would be able to go there reasonably at that time.

Otherwise, if she rashly followed the system's instructions, she wouldn't be able to explain how she knew his whereabouts.

She turned and walked back, her boots crunching in the snow.

After taking a few steps, I saw someone coming from afar.

When he got closer, Su Mi saw that it was Gu Mucheng.

"Brother Mu Qing."

He was wearing a light brown coat and a checkered scarf, and he walked slowly over to me on the snow. "Qingqing, I saw someone who looked like you from a distance, so I came over."

"What a coincidence, Brother Mu Qing, are you back from outside too?"

"Yes, go out and buy food."

As he spoke, he raised the pocket in his hand. Su Mi leaned over to take a look and found that it was her favorite blueberry puff tower.

"Why did you buy this suddenly?"

"I bought it for you." Gu Mucheng answered very naturally, as if he was already used to such things.

"I?"

"Well, Qingqing, since you were little, I know best what you like to eat."

Su Mi remembered that when she was very young, Gu Mucheng would often bring delicious food to her.

At that time, the relationship between the two families was good, so they were close. She basically accepted it calmly. If it was delicious, she would praise it a few words. If it was not delicious, she would just take a bite and leave it there.

Gu Mucheng didn't care about her attitude. Whenever he saw something new, he would still tirelessly bring it to her.

So, she gradually developed the habit.

"Thank you, Brother Mu Qing."

"Don't be polite, let's go, it's late, we should go back."

The two walked towards the dormitory together.

Along the way, the two people left two neat yet winding rows of footprints behind them, but they were soon covered by the falling snow, leaving no trace.

"Brother Mu Qing, today is the first snow of winter."

"Yes, I still remember that you always said you wanted to see the snow. This time, you finally got to see it. Are you happy?"

Su Mi looked up at the snowflakes still falling in the sky, "Happy, but also not happy."

Gu Mucheng took her pace into consideration and walked very slowly. He turned his head slightly to see the tiny snowflakes on her hair, which looked like crystal clear stars embellishing her agility and beauty.

He asked patiently, "What's up with you? Tell your brother Mu Qing, maybe I can help."

Su Mi pursed her lips and did not hide the fact that she had always regarded Gu Muqing as her own. "After all, this is not Jiangcheng."
