Without the warm air from the air conditioner and the heated seats, the car instantly became chilly. I gritted my teeth and endured it; Yang Sisi, unwilling to give up, unbuckled her seatbelt, climbed between the two seats into the back, and began rummaging through the trunk.

She found a throw pillow that looked pretty useless, but the moment she unzipped it, she discovered that there was actually an air conditioning blanket hidden inside.

Yang Sisi first looked at me smugly, then waved to me and said, "Come to the back, the two of us can squeeze together, that'll be enough room."

"I'm fine, you can wrap yourself up."

“You can’t even guarantee your basic needs, so who would be afraid of you having lustful thoughts… Come here quickly.”

Yang Sisi looked so warm wrapped up inside, and I couldn't resist the warmth of that environment. So after only a moment's resistance, I took off my shoes and climbed into the back row through the gap between the seats.

I immediately burrowed under the covers, and then Yang Sisi and I huddled together in the corner by the car window, shivering.

The snow gradually covered the car windows, squeezing our world smaller and smaller; later, our breath turned into mist, completely covering the car windows... So, there was one world outside the car and another world inside.

Yang Sisi instinctively hugged me tighter, then complained, "Don't you think your feet smell a little?"

"So what if the feet of working people smell a little? ...I'd even suspect it's your feet that smell!"

"Look at you, I never said I disliked you, why are you throwing mud at me?"

"We should both be suspected until it is proven."

Yang Sisi looked at me with a half-smile, then said, "How do you plan to prove it? Or do you want me to let you smell it?"

Although it was said in jest, it still made me feel a bit dazed... I remembered the scene when Ye Zhi and I were stuck on the highway in the heavy rain... We were nowhere near as open with each other as Yang Sisi and I were; I still remember that day, we were both sitting in our seats, she was very anxious, but she was still not open in front of me, so she was unwilling to get off the bus to relieve herself like other women.

Perhaps we haven't spent enough time together, or perhaps we simply lack that loving and uninhibited atmosphere between us.

...

In a daze, Yang Sisi said to me again, "Michael, I need to pee... Can you come down with me? I'm scared to go alone!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Just hide next to the car. Unless you have supernatural powers, no one can see you."

"It's precisely because there are no people that it's scary... What if a wolf suddenly jumps down from the mountain?"

"With just a few pounds of flesh on your body, would a wolf bother to harm you... Stop babbling and wrap yourself in the blanket to go downstairs; it'll be both safe and warm!"

Yang Sisi gave me a particularly displeased look, then pulled the blanket off me… Just as she opened the car door, I realized that her statement about not daring to was not an act, because outside the car was truly vast and incredibly cold… In such a harsh environment, one is bound to feel fear, similar to the feeling of being trapped in the deep sea. You don't know where the sunlight is, where the warmth is, or how long you will be trapped. This feeling is extremely, extremely isolating…

...

A moment later, I don't know if she urinated or not, but I heard her say to me in a very terrified voice, "Michael, you can't drive the car away! I'm all alone here, I definitely won't survive a minute!"

"I'm sitting in the back, where can we go?"

"I don't believe you! You love playing tricks on me!"

"In the time it takes you to talk, you've already finished 'peeing'."

"I'm scared, I can't pee!"

"I've never seen anyone as troublesome as you!"

With a sob in her voice, Yang Sisi replied, "In this life, I've been with you through wind, rain, and even snow. Can't you be a little nicer to me?"

My heart felt like it had been touched by something; I couldn't quite describe the feeling, but I softened my tone and said to her, "So what do you want from me?"

"Open the car door and then reach your hand out."

I let out a sigh of relief, opened the car door, and offered her my right hand. I knew that all she needed was my hand, not my eyes, so I kept my gaze respectfully fixed on the dashboard.

She grabbed my hand; she probably peed, but I really can't say exactly what happened or how difficult it was.

In short, she let go of my hand.

Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she exclaimed again, "Michael, come out and look! What kind of flower is that? It's so beautiful!"

"You're still on your period, don't catch a cold, come in quickly."

"Come out now! Come out now!... Hurry up!"

Unable to resist her urging, I got out of the car. My first action was to tuck the blanket around her more tightly before looking in the direction she was pointing...

The breathtaking sight was like seeing a magnificent rainbow after a thunderstorm.

No, it's even more shocking than that...

At this moment, a rhododendron is blooming in the snow, incredibly beautiful... But what amazes me even more is its vitality; in such a high-altitude place with thin air, it is more vibrant than anything else...

This vitality eliminates feelings of isolation, making people feel that even in the wilderness, it is not a place that has been completely forgotten.

This is the best gift that nature has given us after being dominated by pain and fear for half a day.

...

"Michael, take a picture of me quickly, I want to take a picture with this flower... If I die in the future, you must remember this day, this moment for me!"

Yang Sisi was so excited that she lost her composure and spoke incoherently... She threw off the blanket draped over her and stood under the rhododendron tree in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt... She made a peace sign, then, feeling it wasn't perfect, put her hands on her hips...

I asked myself, would there ever be another opportunity like this in the world, another woman like this, to give me such a shocking moment?

No, it won't happen again... because I never want to walk on a road without seasons again in my life.

...

Amidst the swirling snow, Yang Sisi, shivering, laughed and called out to me, "Michael, this is the most beautiful flower I've ever seen... without a doubt... I'm so, so, so happy to see it with you... No matter what happens in the future, whether you marry Lu Jia or continue to love Ye Zhi... you must always remember the look in my eyes and the words I spoke to you beneath this flower... Or, you can just be a fool and spend your life with me... Hahahaha...!" Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"?
