Shi Qingruo felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she covered his eyes and said, "Don't look at me like that."

"I can't do that. Please help me get used to it."

Shi Qingruo took a sip and swallowed the last syllable.

Shen Buci looked up and pinched her face.

He closed the door, carried her to wash, touched the water in the bathtub, put her down, and leaned over to look at her at eye level.

"What are you nervous about?" he asked deliberately.

Shi Qingruo poked his chin and asked, "Why do you think I'm nervous?"

The weather was cold, so Shen Buci didn't delay on purpose. After washing, he wrapped her in a bath towel and went out. He wiped the water off her body and put her on the bed.

Shi Qingruo pulled the quilt to wrap herself up, and her face was red, not sure if it was from shyness or from the steam.

Shen Buci untied the bath towel that was loosely draped over his body and threw it aside, “Qingruo, I’m cold.”

Shi Qingruo hesitated for only half a second before giving him half of the quilt.

As soon as he pulled the quilt, she rolled into his arms.

Shen Buci kissed her face.

Shi Qingruo kissed him hesitantly, and the next moment he was holding the back of her neck and kissing her.

“Hmm…”

Her eyes were misty and her vision was blurred.

Seeing that she couldn't bear it anymore, Shen Bu dismissed and left.

Shi Qingruo blinked her watery eyes and looked at him.

Shen Buci smoothed the messy hair that brushed against her eyebrows and kissed the end of her eyes, "Qing Ruo..."

"Um."

He stroked her hair and spoke to her tenderly, "Do you want to build a snowman tomorrow?"

"It would be better if you take Wuji with you."

"Who says adults can't build snowmen?"

"Oh." Shi Qingruo regained some rationality from the confusion.

Shen Buci kissed her forehead distressedly.

Shi Qingruo tightened her fingers and looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Shen Buci patted her back.

"You're so annoying."

“I’m not annoying.” Shen Buci kissed her forehead.

Shi Qingruo looked at him accusingly. Normally, he was gentle, steady and calm, but at this moment, he didn't look serious at all.

He was just pretending to be innocent.

"Qing Ruo, you said you loved me."

"Love you."

After a long time, the snow outside stopped.

In order to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable, Shen Buci put on his clothes and went to get some hot water, then held her in his arms and took another shower and changed the sheets before he held her in his arms and went to sleep.

His good biological clock made him open his eyes at six o'clock. After he came to his senses, he patted the back of the person in his arms who was already moving, and hugged her and fell asleep again.

It was probably noon. When Shen Buci woke up, Shi Qingruo was still asleep. He looked at her quietly and kissed her after a while.

Shi Qingruo opened her eyes, and after coming to her senses, she was somewhat reluctant to face him and turned her back to him.

He straightened her body and pressed his fingertips on her rosy cheeks, "Are you still shy?"

"snort."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

She closed her eyes and uttered three words word by word.

"Rub it." Shen Buci rubbed her waist with his palm, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry."

He pulled her out of bed, took off her pajamas, and dressed her.

She opened her eyes, blushing and not daring to look at him.

Shen Buci lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Qing Ruo."

Shi Qingruo was too lazy to pay attention to him, just like last night, and he insisted that she respond to him.

Seeing how she treated him like air, Shen Buci stopped teasing her on purpose, put on his clothes, and went to the next door house to eat with her.

I looked at the watch on my hand and it was twelve o'clock.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Yang Hongjuan and Shao Fengxiu, the in-laws, go out every day to buy New Year's goods, thinking about what to buy for their two children.

After dinner, Shen Buci took Shi Qingruo to make a snowman.

It is snowing today, snowflakes are everywhere and the sky is white.
