Chapter 257 Meow~ Sui Sui is here!

The next morning,

After the snowfall, the sun shone brightly on the thick snow, and the air was crisp and clean.

As Zhong Wan slept, she felt the warm sunlight, her eyes twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened them.

She nestled in Lin Yan'an's arms, glanced at his still-sleeping face, then gently rested her chin on his chest, looking at the ray of sunlight filtering through the curtains.

She could vaguely hear the neighbors outside chatting and laughing as they shoveled snow.

"woke up?"

Lin Yan'an's voice suddenly rang out from above her head, still hoarse from just waking up.

His arms wrapped around her body again.

"Um."

Zhong Wan nodded, looked away, and leaned against his chest, placing one hand on his chest. She looked at Lin Yan'an and smiled, "The snow outside seems to have stopped. Look at this sunshine, the weather is really nice today."

"Yes, it's another beautiful day."

Lin Yan'an chuckled softly and reached out to stroke Zhong Wan's hair.

It seems that ever since he met her, he has felt exceptionally content every morning he wakes up.

The satisfaction of a good night's sleep, the satisfaction of sleeping with her by my side.

Zhong Wan had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing him obediently agreeing with her, she felt even better in an instant.

The two lingered in bed for a while longer, chatting idly until they heard her parents' voices, at which point they got up to wash up.

The two walked out of the room one after the other and saw He Qilan cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Zhong Yuansheng was clearing a path in the yard with a large broom, and Zhong Suisui was happily running and jumping in the snow with her tail held high.

It darted around on the unswept snow like a little cannonball, its round little body sometimes sinking in and sometimes leaping out with its little bottom sticking out, its body covered in fine snowflakes with each movement.

Even so, it still wouldn't behave, occasionally patting the snow surface with its paws and then curiously sniffing it.

Occasionally, the cold snowflakes would startle me so much that I would sneeze slightly.

But Zhong Suisui didn't care. She casually shook her head and then happily went back to playing.

His adorable little face made Zhong Wan, Lin Yan'an, and Zhong Yuansheng laugh.

"Sui Sui, be careful not to get cold. Play for a while and then come inside to warm up."

While sweeping, Zhong Yuansheng coaxed with a smile, "Grandpa will just sweep the road out, and you can keep the rest to play with."

[Meow~ Thank you, Grandpa!]

Zhong Suisui happily thanked them, then buried herself in playing again, continuing to create her crooked plum blossom prints in the snow.

Lin Yan'an walked over first, stood in front of Zhong Yuansheng and said, "Dad, give it to me, I'll take care of it."

Zhong Yuansheng didn't stand on ceremony with him, and pointed with a smile to the spot where the spare shovels were placed: "There are more there, let's do it together, it'll be faster."

"The snow is so thick, it's a good opportunity for me to stretch my muscles."

Lin Yan'an looked in the direction he pointed and listened to his words, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

The father-in-law and son-in-law each held a shovel, working together seamlessly.

Seeing this, Zhong Wan also grabbed a broom and went over.

They shoveled it and she swept it just right.

Zhong Yuansheng, however, was still worried and instructed, "Wanwan, if you feel cold, hurry inside. You don't need to do this little bit of work."

"Dad, don't worry, we'll be done in a bit."

Zhong Wan waved the large broom with a grin, and vaguely seemed to understand what Ah Gui felt when he was waving the broom around.

Hmm, if I'm not doing any work, holding this big broom actually makes me feel quite safe.

Hehe, although Zhong Wan probably doesn't need a broom to feel safe.

In no time at all, the group had cleared the snow off the road.

Zhong Wan felt a little warm, but seeing Zhong Suisui playing happily, watching it awkwardly roll a snowball with its two paws.

For a moment, she also felt a little itchy to try it.

"Dad, here you go, I'm going to play for a while too."

After Zhong Wan finished speaking, she handed the large broom to her father, turned around, squatted down next to the snow, put on gloves, and started rolling a snowball.

She first rolled a small snowball, then threw it at Lin Yan'an, who was walking towards her with a shovel.

The snowball hit him with a "thud" and then scattered.

Lin Yan'an paused, looked down at the snow on his body, then at Zhong Wan squatting beside the snow, her eyes sparkling and her smile like a little fox, and raised an eyebrow.

Before he could even speak, Zhong Yuansheng, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing: "Hey, Wanwan, you little brat, you're resorting to sneak attacks, aren't you?"

Zhong Wan smiled and made a face at the two of them before continuing to roll the snowball.

While working, he called Zhong Suisui over: "Suisui, come quickly, let's build a big snowman together."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui instantly perked up. She immediately dropped the small snowball in her paw and turned to run over quickly. [Meow~ Suisui's here!]

It circled around Zhong Wan, watching her movements, and tried its best to stick out its little bottom and roll along.

Lin Yan'an looked at the person and the cat with a gentle smile in her eyes.

After Zhong Yuansheng waited for him to approach, he reached out and took the shovel from his hand, and said with a smile, "Yan An, play with us for a while too. I'll take these things with me."

Lin Yan'an watched his father-in-law take the tools and turn to leave, then looked at the man and cat having a great time, and his smile deepened.

Instead of joining immediately, he stepped into the house.

After hearing his footsteps, Zhong Wan glanced at his back, but didn't think much of it, and then went back to playing.

When she heard that familiar footsteps again, Zhong Wan turned her head curiously to take a look.

Her eyes lit up even more when she saw what Lin Yan'an was holding.

Lin Yan'an looked at her gaze, then at the things he had just gotten from his mother-in-law, and walked up to her with a smile, asking, "Do you need any equipment?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhong Wan nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Yan'an and praised, "You've thought of everything!"

She casually reached out and tugged at the red towel, looking at him curiously and asking, "Where did you find this?"

Lin Yan'an looked down at what was in her hand and replied with a smile, "It was from Mom."

"What?!"

Zhong Wan was stunned when she heard this answer.

A carrot, two black beans, a red bucket, and a red scarf...

These are things she never even dared to dream of when she used to play in the snow.

Her mother just gave it to him like that?!

"Who said you're a spendthrift?!"

Zhong Wan looked at Lin Yan'an and couldn't help but feel curious.

Lin Yan'an smiled and shook his head: "No."

He Qilan not only didn't say anything to him, but also thoughtfully asked him if it was enough ┑(￣Д￣)┍.

As for this statement...

Seeing Zhong Wan's shocked expression, Lin Yan'an thoughtfully swallowed his words.

But the smile on his face grew even brighter.
