Jiang Tong blushed inexplicably. She nodded and said, "I see. That must be the scent of the sachet your grandmother gave you. I knew it smelled reassuring."

She smiled sheepishly, "I hope my question was not presumptuous. If it was, I apologize."

She regretted blurting out that question. If the other person were a woman, she could have politely and happily inquired about the source of the fragrance, but he was a single father! It really wasn't appropriate.

Jiang Tong had been curious for so long that she said she really liked it, and then she accidentally blurted it out.

Zhou Yuansheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't feel offended."

This sentence sounds familiar.

The phrases they used to exchange during their polite and courteous period are now being used again.

Jiang Tong smiled awkwardly and nodded, "That's good, that's good."

Suddenly, the parents nearby gasped softly, causing a commotion. Everyone laughed and said, "It's snowing! It's snowing!" Sure enough, it snowed today.

Jiang Tong subconsciously looked up at the sky, and it really had started to snow, the kind that falls very lightly, but it was really snowing, and she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that he had been startled, Zhou Yuansheng steadied his suddenly racing heart and asked, "Do you like snowy days?"

Jiang Tong paused for a moment, then laughed again, "It's alright, I quite like it. The main thing is that the three kids are planning to have a snowball fight, they're going to be ecstatic."

Zhou Yuansheng was also stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I thought you liked it a lot."

Because the moment she discovered it was snowing, her surprised smile was especially beautiful.

Jiang Tong wrapped her coat tighter around herself and said with a smile, "I like it too."

Zhou Yuansheng also smiled.

The two stood side by side waiting for their child. They had arrived a little early today, and it was quite a coincidence that they still managed to bump into each other.

"A snowy day is perfect for having a little wine."

"Oh, I didn't realize Mr. Zhou liked wine so much! I remember the first time you had Uncle He deliver the thank-you gift, there were several bottles of wine in it, haha."

"I'm alright, I drink a little occasionally, I wouldn't call myself a heavy drinker, would I?"

"That doesn't count. I can actually drink a little bit, but my parents were very strict with me when I was little and didn't let me drink. But actually, I've drunk a few times since I became an adult, hehe."

Jiang Tong said this with a smile, and she relaxed as she chatted with him.

Gradually, I forgot about the awkwardness.

Zhou Yuansheng suddenly spoke up, "How about we enjoy the snow and have a drink together tonight?"

Jiang Tong's smile paused for a second, then she looked into Zhou Yuansheng's eyes—very captivating eyes, both deep and dangerous. After thinking carefully, she smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

Zhou Yuansheng initially regretted asking the question, feeling it was too offensive. But he genuinely just wanted to enjoy the snow and have a drink with her on this first snowy night, and he never expected her to agree.

How much trust do you have in yourself?

But none of that matters anymore.

They both understood that the period of mutual avoidance, awkwardness, and restraint they had been in was over.

They both understood each other without saying a word.

Jiang Tong no longer intended to force herself to pretend to be calm, or even force herself to stay away from him. She did like him, and Zhou Yuansheng was also very attractive.

She plans to let things take their course.

Perhaps the first snow today was too beautiful, and Zhou Yuansheng, dressed in winter clothes, happened to look exceptionally handsome, like a model who stepped out of a fashion magazine.

In short, she was indeed tempted.

They both laughed sheepishly and didn't say anything more after that.

The three children rushed out of the kindergarten in a line, extremely excited. They were already happy because of the snow, but they were even happier to see their parents. Zhou Jiaqi was especially excited.

Hanhan's eyes lit up. She hadn't seen Uncle Zhou in a long time, and he was still as handsome as ever. She gave Zhou Yuansheng a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Long time no see, Uncle Zhou! You're still so handsome! The most handsome ever!"

Peipei was shocked. She was surprised that her sister would actually compliment someone, and immediately pouted unhappily, saying, "Why don't you ever compliment my looks?!"

Jiang Tong couldn't help but laugh when she saw her eldest daughter's reaction; it was just too adorable.

Zhou Yuansheng bent down and patted Hanhan's head, smiling as he said, "Long time no see, thank you for the compliment, Hanhan."

As he straightened up, he patted Peipei's little head and said, "You little rascal, long time no see."

Peipei wrinkled her nose in disgust and snorted, "You touched my sister before you touched me, I don't care. So what if you're handsome? Sister, praise me already!!"

She then started pestering Hanhan, insisting that she also praise herself as the most beautiful person. Hanhan refused, saying that Mommy was the most beautiful.

The two sisters were bickering.

Zhou Jiaqi grumbled, "Hey, you have to praise me too, that's fair!"

Jiang Tong ruffled each of their heads, "Alright, alright, you're all beautiful, handsome, and precious. Go back now, or you'll all turn into snowmen!"

When she scared the children, all three of them laughed and ran towards their car.

Jiang Tong could only tell them to be careful.

The three little ones sparsely agreed, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter.

Passersby couldn't help but smile when they saw it.

They returned to Jiang Tong's house before the heavy snow began, all five of them covered in snow.

As soon as Jiang Tong entered the room, she patted the snowflakes off the children and then said, "I'll go make some brown sugar ginger tea. You can all have a cup later."

She hissed as she gasped for breath, but thankfully it was warm once she got home.

Zhou Yuansheng helped the children take off their snow-covered coats. Outside, snow was mixed with rain, but the little ones weren't afraid of the cold and were jumping around energetically.
