"I understand!"

When she reached out again, her fingers collided with Chen's.

Shen Que abruptly withdrew his hand, his ears turning slightly red.

Li Yunyan smiled, picked up the chestnut, and placed it in his hand. "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to take it from you!"

Her tone was full of affection, and she treated him like a younger person who needed to be cared for.

Shen really wanted to emphasize to her that he was no longer a child! But he was also indulging in this feeling, his other hand, hidden under his sleeve, was clenched tightly.

As dusk fell, Li Yunyan told Dongyun to start packing; it was time for them to go back.

Standing under the eaves, Chen Que took out an umbrella and opened it for her, saying, "Sister-in-law, be careful not to get your clothes wet from the snow!"

Thank you!

Li Yunyan took the umbrella handle, and their fingers inevitably brushed against each other, causing Chen Que's heart to pound.

Suddenly, Li Yunyan slipped, stepping on the newly accumulated snow, and was about to fall towards the veranda...

"Sister-in-law, be careful!"

With a flick of his long arm, he pulled her back around the waist.

The oil-paper umbrella rolled a few times on the ground and came to rest in the middle of the snow-covered courtyard.

Li Yunyan was pulled into his arms by the force, and in her panic, she grabbed his collar.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Shen Que felt his heart was about to leap out of his chest, and he just stared blankly down at the person in his arms.

The heavy snow blew in mercilessly, landing on her dark hair like a white velvet flower.

He gently raised his hand, wanting to take it off for her.
