Chapter 45 First Snow
The next day.
Friday is the beginning of winter. The biting cold wind gradually becomes stronger, sweeping away the warmth and prosperity between heaven and earth like a whirlwind.
After finishing today's homework, Su Mi called his roommate to set off together in the evening.
She wore a lake blue lamb fur coat, jeans and crescent-colored long boots. Her hair was loose, and one side of her hair was fixed with a furry snow-white rabbit hairpin.
I was standing at the school gate with my two roommates, waiting for the boy to drive over.
Fang Yutong wore a long, thin beige down jacket, a black slim-fit base layer, fuzzy snow boots, and a taro-colored bucket hat. She folded her arms and cursed, "Why haven't you come yet? My face is frozen."
Liao Qian, who was standing next to her, was wearing a gray sweatshirt as a base, a black coat, dark casual pants, and sneakers. The difference was that her hair was longer, and the hair on the sides of her ears, which was originally higher than her ears, now barely covered her earlobes.
She jokingly said, "Yutong, you wear the most and yell the loudest."
Fang Yutong realized this and explained, "There's nothing I can do. I can't stand the cold. I'm too afraid of it. Winter is unbearable."
Su Mi came out to comfort him, "It should be soon, don't worry."
After a while, an extended Lincoln business car stopped in front of them.
He Fei got down from the middle seat and said, "Ladies, get in the car."
When Su Mi looked over, she realized that the car had a large space and there was a large bar opposite the seats.
Xiao Xuanjin was sitting in the back. Today he was wearing a long leather trench coat, which showed his unrestrained and uninhibited demeanor. He looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea and beckoned to her.
Su Mi understood and went up to sit next to him.
Fang Yutong sat next to He Fei.
Next to Wu Cheng is Liao Qian.
Wen Kai sat in the front next to the driver.
The group officially set off.
As the weather got colder, everyone decided to have some hot mutton hotpot in a copper pot to warm their stomachs.
The place is not very far away and it only takes half an hour to drive there.
When they arrived, someone came out to greet them and led them all the way to the terrace.
The terrace is decorated exceptionally gorgeously, with soft lights surrounding every corner. The firelight from the fireplace is warm and intoxicating, and the crystal glasses reflect the dazzling light. Next to the gorgeous flowers in the center, the soup base in the copper pot is boiling wildly, and bursts of faint fragrance waft towards you.
Looking down, you can see the magnificent sight of the city lights, which is a feast for both taste and vision.
He Fei couldn't wait to go over and look around, "Brother Xiao, this restaurant is not yours, right?"
Xiao Xuanjin didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.
He took Su Mi by the hand and walked to the seat. "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, it's very warm." This place is semi-open-air, and half of the dining table is a glass rain shelter. There are places to make fire all around, and the hot steam from the pot is also coming out, so it doesn't feel cold at all.
"Yeah." Xiao Xuanjin sat down next to her.
Fang Yutong and He Fei were still standing on the side, watching the scenery.
Liao Qian found a place to sit down and looked around. It was also her first time to dine in such a place.
Wu Cheng and Wen Kai also sat down next to each other and chatted casually.
The waiter brought the wine.
Wen Kai filled everyone's glasses and said, "How about we all raise a toast?"
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
He Fei and Fang Yutong also came over from that side, "How can you drink without inviting us?"
Afterwards, the two of them sat in the last two remaining seats.
Everyone picked up their glasses and celebrated together on this rare day.
He Fei finished his drink, put down his cup, and looked at today's protagonist. "Brother Xiao, let me formally introduce the person next to you."
Fang Yutong chimed in from the side, watching the fun, "That's right."
Everyone looked at Xiao Xuanjin and Su Mi.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the people present, picked up the cup, and said in a lazy voice, but his eyes were extremely serious, "Everyone knows Su Su. Don't be disrespectful to her in the future. Please take care of her when I'm not around. This is a favor from me."
After saying this, he drank all the wine in the cup.
Everyone present knows Xiao Xuanjin's family background, and his favors cannot be bought.
Su Mi listened to his words, and her heart felt warm, not knowing whether it was from the stove or the hot steam in the pot.
After hearing what he said, everyone responded positively.
He Fei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, with me here, no one dares to bully my sister-in-law."
Fang Yutong looked at the way Xiao Xuanjin protected Su Mi and was truly envious. "Mi'er, you have really good taste, unlike me."
He Fei: “…”
Wen Kai spoke frankly, "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, I wish you a long and happy life together."
Wu Cheng ate the dog food and felt heartbroken, "Now Brother Xiao has found a partner, when will I be able to have a beautiful woman by my side?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Qian glanced at him indifferently, then quickly looked away.
Wen Kai teased him, "I told you not to hang yourself on a tree, but you refused to listen."
Everyone knows that Wen Kai likes the school beauty Meng Qianqian.
Wu Cheng looked sad, "It would be great if I could control it."
His words clearly entered Liao Qian's ears. She lowered her head and clenched her fingers quietly.
He Fei said, "Okay, everyone, stop talking and eat the hot pot."
During the meal, Su Mi personally prepared the meat and placed it in Xiao Xuanjin's bowl, smiling and saying, "This meat has a high nutritional value."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xuanjin continued cooperatively.
I only heard her say proudly, "Because it contains my girlfriend's love."
Xiao Xuanjin curled his lips, "Really? Will I get a nosebleed if I eat it?"
"Maybe. My love is so strong, it's normal to have excess nutrition." Su Mi said shamelessly.
Xiao Xuanjin freed his hands and put his arm around her waist under the table. His voice was hoarse and rough, "Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry?"
Su Mi instantly understood what he meant, her face flushed red as if blood was dripping out, and she cursed, "Not serious."
I could hear his smug laughter beside my ear.
Over there, Fang Yutong and He Fei were playing finger-guessing games. Fang Yutong's original intention was to get He Fei drunk, but she started off on the wrong foot and kept losing.
In the end, he was forced to drink a few glasses of wine.
She was so angry that she just cheated. He Fei had no choice but to be forced to drink. However, this made the beauty happy and she fell into his arms laughing.
On the other side, Liao Qian was eating hot pot. Wu Cheng suddenly raised his arm and put it on her shoulder. His eyes were intoxicated. He was obviously drunk. "Brother Qian, come, have a drink."
Liao Qian froze. He must have treated her as a brother. No, it should be said that he had always treated her like this.
He shook the hand that picked up the wine glass and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Drink."
When she raised her head and drank the wine, she didn't know whether it was astringent or bitter. A tear welled up in the corner of Liao Qian's eye and silently sank into her hair.
Someone shouted, "It's snowing."
"This is the first snow this winter."
The first snow was so rare that everyone ran to the terrace to watch the falling snowflakes.
However, Liao Qian felt as if her feet were rooted to the ground and she couldn't move forward.
