Chapter 45 First Snow
The next day.
It was Friday, which was also the beginning of winter. The biting cold wind became increasingly fierce, sweeping away the warmth and luxuriance between heaven and earth like a whirlwind.
After finishing today's homework, Su Mi called his roommate to go out together in the evening.
She was wearing 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 two roommates, waiting for the boy to drive over.
Fang Yutong wore a beige long down jacket, a black slim-fitting base layer, velvet snow boots, and a taro-colored fisherman's hat. She folded her hands and cursed, "Why haven't you come yet? My face is frozen."
Liao Qian on the side was wearing a grey 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 just covered the earlobes.
She joked, "Yutong, you wear the most and roar the most fiercely."
Fang Yutong realized this and explained, "There's nothing I can do. I can't stand the cold. I'm too afraid of it. It's hard to endure winter."
Su Mi came out and comforted her, "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 went over to take a look, he 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 windbreaker, which showed his carefree and unrestrained demeanor. He looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea and hooked his finger at 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 was getting colder, everyone decided to have some hot copper pot mutton hotpot to warm their stomachs.
The place was not very far away and we arrived there in half an hour by car.
When they arrived, someone came out to greet them and led them all the way to the terrace.
The terrace was decorated exceptionally gorgeously, with soft lighting surrounding every corner. The fire in the fireplace was warm and intoxicating, and the crystal cups reflected brilliant light. Next to the juicy flowers in the center, the soup in the copper pot was bubbling wildly, and waves of faint fragrance wafted over.
Looking down, you can see the magnificent sight of the city lights, which is a feast for both taste and sight.
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 tacit agreement.
He led Su Mi to the seat and asked, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, it's quite warm." This place is semi-open-air, with half of the dining table covered by 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 sidelines, watching the scenery.
Liao Qian found a seat and sat down, looking 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 they chatted casually.
The waiter brought the wine.
Wen Kai filled everyone's glasses and said, "How about everyone raise a glass?"
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
He Fei and Fang Yutong also came over there, "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 drinking, put down the cup, and looked at today's protagonist, "Brother Xiao, let me formally introduce the person next to you to everyone."
Fang Yutong chimed in from the side, seeing how lively it was, "That's right."
Everyone looked at Xiao Xuanjin and Su Mi.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at the people present, picked up the cup, and said lazily, but his eyes were particularly serious, "Everyone knows Su Su, so 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."
Having said this, he drank all the wine in the cup.
Everyone present knows Xiao Xuanjin's family background, and his favors are priceless.
As Su Mi listened to his words, he felt warm in his heart, not sure if 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 was protecting 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."
Wu Cheng ate a handful of dog food and felt very sad. "Now Xiao Ge has someone to marry. When will I be able to have my lover 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 just wouldn't 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 entered Liao Qian's ears clearly. 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 put it in Xiao Xuanjin's bowl, smiling and saying, "The nutritional value of this meat is very high."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xuanjin responded cooperatively.
I only heard her say proudly, "Because it is filled with the love of my girlfriend."
Xiao Xuanjin curled his lips, "Really? Will I have a nosebleed if I eat it?"
"Yes, my love is so strong, it's normal to get excess nutrition." Su Mi said shamelessly.
Xiao Xuanjin reached out and grabbed her waist under the table, his voice hoarse and shrill, "Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry?"
Su Mi immediately 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 in my ear.
Over there, Fang Yutong and He Fei were sparring. Fang Yutong's original intention was to get He Fei drunk, but she ended up getting off to a bad start and kept losing.
In the end, I was forced to drink a few cups of wine.
Unable to contain her anger, she simply started to cheat. 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. He looked drunk and obviously drunk. "Brother Qian, come and 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 held the wine glass and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Drink."
When she raised her head to drink 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 edge of 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.
