Unlike regular weather forecasts, Ash's predictions are as accurate as clockwork.

Snowflakes began to fall in the afternoon, falling silently, and the girls didn't notice at first. It was only when Liu Liu called out to them from behind the glass that they realized what was happening.

Cheng Ye had never seen snow before. If he wasn't afraid of insects outside, he would have opened the window and stuck his hand out.

Seeing her older sister so calm, Cheng Ye asked, "Didn't you really want to see snow? Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Cheng Zhi, holding Liu Liu, squatted by the window and said lazily, "I saw them when I took them home before. We built a snowman and had a snowball fight."

Just imagining that scene made Cheng Ye incredibly envious.

He sat down on the chair by the window, looked at the swirling snowflakes outside, and said very seriously, "Sister, actually I'm quite envious of you."

Cheng Zhi, who was stroking Liu Liu's hair, looked up and asked, "What do you envy about me?"

Cheng Ye thought for a moment and replied, "You're an adult now. You can do many things and go to many places. As long as you ask nicely, Mom and Dad will agree."

So that's what it was about.

Cheng Zhi stood up and sat down in the chair opposite her. "You've grown up now. You can do whatever you want in the future. I'm only keeping an eye on you now because the world is still too chaotic."

Hearing Cheng Zhi say this, Cheng Ye was still not quite convinced. He looked at his sister and asked, "Even if I want to go abroad and travel all over the world, it's okay?"

Cheng Zhi nodded. "It's your freedom. You've already had a tough 12 years. As long as you don't break the law or fail any courses, you can do whatever you want. I won't interfere with you anymore."

Cheng Ye on the other side was somewhat happy, but didn't show it particularly obviously.

Cheng Zhi turned her gaze to the window and noticed that the snow was falling heavier and heavier. Liu Liu came over and rubbed against her leg, making soft whimpering noises.

Seeing Liu Liu like this, Cheng Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Sister, Liu Liu's bloodline has awakened. She wants to go out whenever she sees snow."

Cheng Zhi patted Liu Liu's head reassuringly, "After all, you're from Siberia. We'll take you out for some fresh air another day, you can run around however you want."

Liu Liu was overjoyed to find the keywords. She retreated to a distance and chose a spot where she could see the window to lie down.

Chen Siyu and the others were also looking out the window at the snow.

Zheng Wan looked at the somewhat hazy world and said, "Go down, bury all these filthy things and let them freeze to death."

Chen Siyu yawned. "Rainy days are good for sleeping, but why does it feel like snowy days are good for sleeping too?"

Hearing her say that, Zheng Wan laughed, "Then you're just sleepy, not because of external factors, but after a good night's sleep, the feeling must be quite amazing."

"How is it so amazing?" Chen Siyu asked.

Zheng Wan leaned back in her chair. "Just imagine, when you wake up, the world has changed. It's all white, like you've traveled into a fairy tale."

Zheng Wan's idea was rather romantic. Chen Siyu nodded, then glanced at the pool of blood in the yard out of the corner of her eye. "If this were really a fairy tale world, all the things lost could come back with a spell, and those damn bad guys could turn into rats in the sewers."

Zheng Wan looked away, unsure how to comfort her.

She hugged Chen Siyu tightly, saying, "Heaven is watching what people do, and God will make them receive the punishment they deserve."

Chen Siyu rested her head on Zheng Wan's shoulder. "When the snow stops and the bugs are gone, let's go out and have a snowball fight. Zhiyu has never played in the snow before."

Zheng Wan replied, "Sure, my sister and the others haven't met either, we can play together then."

The girls each had their own worries, and the boys on the 13th floor also had many feelings to share.

Looking at the snow falling outside, Chen Yiyi recalled her days in Liancheng. "Back then, we were so naive. We were robbed, beaten, hungry, and cold. How could we be so pathetic?"

"They've already used that term," Qi Yanche said with a smile, "because back then, college students were still supposed to respect the elderly and care for the young."

When the phrase "respecting the elderly and caring for the young" is mentioned, Chen Yiyi immediately pictured scenes: "Being robbed at home by elderly people, having food stolen by children, it's so painful."

After saying that, Chen Yiyi dramatically leaned back.

“The past is too painful to recall, don’t dwell on it. Instead of wasting time thinking about the future,” Qi Yanche said, standing by the window.

Now that things have come to this point, Chen Yiyi sat up and asked, "So, what are your thoughts?"

Qi Yanche was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "I want to go to Chunming. After all, it's the capital. You can do whatever you want there, and you'll have more information there than here."

Chen Yiyi had already thought of this, after all, his parents were still on the other side of the ocean.

He nodded subconsciously, without saying anything for the time being.

Qi Yanche, fearing that he might overthink things, added, "This is just my personal opinion. Do whatever you want to do, and don't let me sway you."

Chen Yi sighed, "To be honest, I'm quite confused. When I was in school, my goal was to get into university. Even though I didn't have a specific idea about the future, it was just about getting a job, continuing to improve myself, and finding a partner. Now everything is a mess, and I really can't figure out what I want."

He rubbed his face, looking somewhat troubled. "You all have families. Xiao Feiran has a family with Cheng Zhi, but I..."

It turns out that Chen Yiyi, who is usually so cheerful and carefree, is actually quite lonely inside.

Before Chen Yiyi could finish speaking, Qi Yanche sat back down on the bedside. "Xiao Feiran has family now, and you have us too. The four of us have been through so much together, and we won't abandon you."
