Chapter 40 As long as Ah Xue is happy
Winter nights are always exceptionally long. Jingyou Garden was shrouded in twilight, and the candlelight inside burned dimly.
Chu Siheng lay on his side on the bed, listening to the cold wind howling outside the window. He coughed softly, the cough not loud, but with a hint of deliberateness.
Then, Chu Siheng turned to look at Lu Zhaoxue, who was still mending clothes for Lu Zhaoxing. His voice was slightly hoarse and magnetic: "Ah Xue, aren't you sleepy?"
Lu Zhaoxue didn't even look up, continuing what she was doing. "I'm not sleepy yet. Siheng, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, Xue, are you cold?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue finally realized what Chu Siheng was up to, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "I'm not cold!"
Chu Siheng looked at Lu Zhaoxue's slightly flushed cheeks and chuckled softly, his laughter full of pleasure.
After a while, Chu Siheng reached out and lifted the blanket covering him, gently patting the bed. "Sigh, it's so cold here without you here, Xue."
After saying that, Chu Siheng sighed deeply again, pretending to be dejected.
Lu Zhaoxue felt her cheeks getting even redder, so she turned around and faced away from Chu Siheng, pretending not to pay attention to him. But the burning heat spread down her neck, and the tips of Lu Zhaoxue's ears turned crimson.
...
After Chu Siheng had fallen into a deep sleep, Lu Zhaoxue quietly got into bed.
Perhaps it was Chu Siheng's words that were too seductive tonight, or perhaps their days of companionship had caused Lu Zhaoxue's feelings to grow wildly. That night, Lu Zhaoxue had an exceptionally absurd dream.
In her dream, she and Chu Siheng were closely embracing, their movements intimate, their figures intertwined, creating a tender and affectionate scene.
But the dream vanished in an instant. The Chu Siheng before her suddenly changed. The gentle face was replaced by Chu Huaiyu's face. There was no warmth in Chu Huaiyu's eyes, only piercing hatred and intense killing intent, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Lu Zhaoxue suddenly woke up from her dream, her inner clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat. Still shaken, she gasped for breath.
Just thinking about Chu Huaiyu's murderous eyes... Lu Zhaoxue couldn't help but curse inwardly: Utterly shameless Chu Huaiyu! How dare he appear in her dreams again?!
After a long while, Lu Zhaoxue finally came to her senses. She got up and walked to the window. Looking through the window paper, she could vaguely see a vast expanse of white snow.
Lu Zhaoxue gently pushed open the door again, and a blast of cold air rushed towards her. Looking up, she saw snow falling heavily. Lu Zhaoxue was amazed by the scene. She gently closed the door and walked briskly towards Lu Zhaoxing's room.
"Zhaoxing, wake up, it's snowing." Lu Zhaoxue called softly to her younger sister. Lu Zhaoxing rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and after waking up, she put on a thick padded coat and followed Lu Zhaoxue out of the room.
When Lu Zhaoxing saw the snow falling all around him, his eyes lit up with excitement. Just as he was about to cheer, Lu Zhaoxue gently covered his mouth.
"Shh, Zhaoxing, Siheng is still sleeping. We can't disturb him," Lu Zhaoxue said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxing nodded obediently.
But the two sisters were having so much fun that they forgot all about it. They played happily in the snow, their shoes crunching on the snow like the most beautiful winter song.
Lu Zhaoxue and her sister were throwing snowballs at each other, their laughter gently carried away by the cold wind. After Chu Siheng woke up, he got up, dressed, and went out. He was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
The rooftops in the distance and the branches nearby were covered with thick white snow, creating a pure and pristine world, as if all the dust had been washed away.
As his gaze wandered, Chu Siheng was drawn to an adorable snowman under the eaves. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he turned to look at Lu Zhaoxue, who was sweeping snow in the courtyard.
"Ah Xue".
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue looked up at Chu Siheng and called out, "Siheng, you're awake!"
"Hmm, why did you build a snowman here?"
Lu Zhaoxue smiled at Chu Siheng, her tone light and cheerful: "Siheng, didn't you realize who this snowman looks like?"
"You're the snowman!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Siheng paused for a moment, then looked at the adorable snowman and wondered to himself: Is this how I usually appear in Ah Xue's eyes?
Chu Siheng smiled and shook his head at Lu Zhaoxue. Oh well, let her be cute as she may. As long as Xue is happy.
