I looked up suddenly and met his smiling eyes. There was a light of snow in his eyes, just like the moonlight shattered in a glass lamp, clear and bright, as if it could see through my heart.
"So?" I was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt arose in my heart.
"So," Jiang Yan put the bamboo flute on his waist, and the tail of the sugar-painted dragon just wrapped around my fingertips, as if it was a silent promise, "If you insist on resisting again in the future, I will hit you on the head with this flute." His tone was a little teasing, but it made me feel extremely cared for.
The snow in Wanxiang Garden suddenly began to fall heavily, with large flakes drifting down. The fragrance of winter plum blossoms mixed with the sweetness of sugar paintings filled my face, enchanting me. I looked at the ice crystals on his eyelashes, gleaming in the light of the snow, and suddenly felt that this winter in this life seemed particularly warm. In the distance, I heard the young marquis's shouting: "Sister! Who bullied you again? I've sharpened my knife!"

Snowflakes hit the window lattice of the warm room, making a soft sound, like someone gently knocking on the door, or as if winter were expressing its gentleness. As I pinched the sugar dragon painting, I suddenly remembered the scene in the novel where the heroine finally let go of her obsession. It turns out that the feeling of having someone's support is just like this sugar painting, so sweet that it brings tears to my eyes. This feeling of being cared for and protected is so precious, so beautiful, that it fills me with anticipation for the future. On this snowy winter day, I know I'm no longer alone. With my brother and Jiang Yan by my side, I have the courage and strength to face any difficulties in the future.
