"Hmm..." A snow-white wrist stretched out from the warm blankets and fumbled on the bedside table. Lin Ruanruan, with her eyes closed, picked up her phone and checked the time. "So early? Why does it feel so lively outside?"
Last night, Grandpa Lin and Huo Qi drank together, and they both had a great time. Grandpa Lin got a little tipsy towards the end and was eventually helped back to his room by Grandma Lin.
Before leaving, Grandpa Lin told Huo Qi, "This wine is excellent. You won't have a headache or feel nauseous when you wake up the next day; instead, you'll feel refreshed."
Huo Qi's eyes were also a little hazy at the time, and he smelled of alcohol. "Grandpa, go to sleep early. We'll continue our chat tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay, tomorrow..." Before Grandpa Lin could finish speaking, Grandma Lin shut him into the house.
"This old man gets talkative when he drinks," Grandma Lin said with a hint of disdain.
Lin Ruanruan chuckled and helped Huo Qi to the guest room.
Fang Si was supposed to be supporting Huo Qi, but he was a germaphobe and looked at Huo Qi, who reeked of alcohol, with disgust.
Huo Qi ignored him and directly pulled Lin Ruanruan to lead him to the room.
Although Huo Qi wasn't drunk, he was a little tipsy. After arriving at the room, he dragged Lin Ruanruan to play games together. In the end, Lin Ruanruan was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took her to her room and went back to sleep himself.
Lin Ruanruan groggily finished getting ready. She seemed to hear Huo Gege and her grandparents' voices coming from downstairs.
For a moment, it felt somewhat surreal, as if someone had suddenly barged into my territory, and this person had done so so naturally, as if he had always been a resident here.
As soon as Lin Ruanruan went downstairs, she heard laughter coming from the courtyard. Curious, she went out to see what was going on and found that her grandfather and Huo Qi were building a snowman in the courtyard.
Huo Qi looked up and saw Lin Ruanruan standing in the room. He beckoned to her to come over, "Come here, Ruanruan, take a look at my masterpiece this morning!"
Lin Ruanruan found it amusing too, and she walked briskly into the yard. Huo Qi quickly stepped forward and took her arm, saying, "Walk slowly, be careful not to fall."
Lin Ruanruan looked at Huo Qi holding her hand and couldn't help but think of the scene yesterday when she almost fell and Huo Qi caught her in his arms. Her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.
But Huo Qi simply led her to the snowman and then let go, saying in a natural tone, "This is the giant snowman that was completed under the guidance of our grandfather."
Lin Ruanruan looked up at the snowman, which was even taller than her. It had a huge ball as its body and a small ball as its head, with two bumps on its head, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Ruanruan pointed to the two bags and asked Huo Qi, "Brother Huo, what are those two bags?"
“That’s hair,” Huo Qi said matter-of-factly, his eyes searching for something.
"Hair?" Lin Ruanruan asked, puzzled.
Grandpa Lin then took two small brooms from the side and handed them to Huo Qi, saying, "Here you go, my dear grandson, use these as your hands."
Huo Qi couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa understands me best."
After saying that, he inserted himself into the snowman's body from both sides. "Ruan, don't you think this snowman looks familiar?"
Lin Ruanruan thought carefully, "The little hard-boiled egg from the game you made?"
"But its body isn't that big."
Grandpa Lin laughed heartily, "Qi boy, this is really you! This kid saw so much snow this morning and couldn't resist building a snowman. He said he wanted to build one of you."
"Me?" Lin Ruanruan stared in surprise at the chubby snowman. "This is me?"
Huo Qi patted the snowman's head. "Yeah, doesn't this look like you with your hair in Nezha's bun?"
"And it looks soft and fluffy, which is very descriptive."
Lin Ruanruan's expression instantly turned blank. "Not at all."
Just then, Fang Si came in from outside. He looked at the snowman in the yard in surprise and said, "You made this soft snowman?"
Lin Ruanruan: ……
Is it really that similar?
Huo Qi nodded smugly, he had always said that he had talent.
Grandma Lin then called out, "Time to eat!"
The group went inside, and Huo Qi took a picture of the snowman and posted it directly to their family group chat.
Huo Xian was the first to speak, 'I also want to build a soft one…'
Mrs. Huo added, "They're quite cute; let's go up north for a trip next winter."
Mr. Huo didn't say anything, he just gave two thumbs up.
Huo Qi accepted the phone with satisfaction and sat down at the dining table, saying that he had said it looked nice.
Grandma Lin is very fond of Huo Qi now. "Qi got up very early this morning, and he even cooked this porridge."
Lin Ruanruan opened her mouth wide, "Brother Huo, you got up so early?"
Huo Qi smiled shyly, "I'm just excited because I haven't seen Xue much before."
In reality, I barely slept all night.
After dinner, Huo Qi bumped Fang Si's shoulder and asked, "Have you finished arranging things?"
Fang Si frowned and patted off non-existent dust from his shoulder. "Of course, everything has been arranged."
Huo Qi wasn't annoyed. He could tell from their previous interactions that Fang Si was a germaphobe. "You're being too aloof," he said.
"Hold it up?" Fang Si asked, somewhat puzzled.
Huo Qi didn't explain. He grabbed Lin Ruanruan, who was curled up on the sofa, and moved her head. "Ruanruan, don't stay at home, come out and play!"
Lin Ruanruan was jolted awake by the sudden movement, somewhat disoriented. "Huh?"
Huo Qi carefully took Lin Ruanruan's hand with his right hand and put his arm around Fang Si's shoulder as they went out the door. Fang Si looked at Huo Qi, who was half a head taller than him, with displeasure. So what if he was tall?
Huo Qi looked at the two of them: one was a homebody, and the other was an arrogant person who acted all high and mighty in public.
He grinned mischievously, grabbed a snowball from the side, and threw it at Fang Si's chest. "Since we're here, let's have a snowball fight."
