Chapter 81 Mrs. Jiang built a snowman for Mr. Jiang
The setting sun faded, the fiery red sky was replaced by the night, and the villa was brightly lit. Jiang Shibai returned to Repulse Bay and entered the living room, but saw no one.
I wanted to take the elevator upstairs, but I caught a glimpse of the backyard outside the transparent glass. The soft and warm light illuminated a beautiful figure. The white down jacket was not bulky, and the figure was tall. She was making a snowman with her back to the glass.
Brilliant light and shadow floated on her body, her brown wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders, her squatting figure slightly blocked the one-meter-tall snowman, her slender back showed a bit of joy, she kept picking up white snowflakes from the side and building the snowman bit by bit.
Just looking at her from behind, you can feel her happiness at that moment.
Jiang Shibai's fatigue after coming back from outside disappeared instantly, his face softened, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up as he stared at her making a snowman outside.
The bright light from the living room fell on the pair of phoenix eyes that were so gentle that they could drip water. The fragmented light became an embellishment, staining the black eyes bit by bit. The snowy scene in the sky was not even one ten-thousandth of that silhouette.
After standing quietly for a moment, his eyes fell on the back of Xu Xian's hand that was frozen red. The distance was too far to see the condition of his palm clearly, but one could imagine how cold it was when he touched the snow with his bare hands.
The smile in his eyes faded a little, and he pursed his lips slightly. Then he turned around and went back to the entrance to take off her scarf and hat, and took a pair of waterproof and warm gloves from the drawer next to her.
Pushing open the door to the backyard, a biting cold wind blew in his face, and Jiang Shibai frowned subconsciously.
Xu Xian was so focused on making a snowman that she didn't notice anyone behind her. She inserted a carrot nose into the snowman and completed the last step. She patted the remaining snow on her palm with great satisfaction and looked at her own masterpiece.
In front of me, there are two snowballs, one big and one small, stacked together. The surface of the snowman is decorated with various things, including a nose, eyes, and mouth. There is a black tie around the neck and a few buttons on the abdomen. It looks vivid.
The light in the yard fell on the snowman, which looked cute yet calm.
Xu Xian grinned, then stood up. His feet were slightly numb from squatting for too long. He moved his ankle uncomfortably, turned around and bumped into a wall of flesh.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw the pair of secretive eyes lowered, with a smile on their brows, staring at her silently.
There was only an inch between their bodies, the man a head taller than the woman. She had no choice but to tilt her head back slightly. Her smile deepened, and she said excitedly, "You're back!"
Jiang Shibai didn't pay attention to the snowman behind her, but stared at the bright and beautiful face in front of him. The porcelain-white face was not made up, and the expression was lively and rich.
Hearing her excited voice, he raised his eyebrows with interest and said in a gentle voice, "Are you so happy that I'm back?"
It was the first time he had seen her looking forward to his return home.
Without waiting for her response, he put the pink strawberry bear hat on her head. His warm fingertips touched her cold ears, causing her to shrink slightly. Then he put the scarf on her.
Xu Xian's expression became subtle. He licked his lips and lied casually, "Yeah! Didn't I have to wait for you to have dinner? I'm hungry."
After saying that, she touched her slightly deflated belly seriously.
She wasn't actually particularly hungry, but she didn't understand why she was a little happy that he came home, so she subconsciously chose to avoid him.
Her expression was hidden so well that Jiang Shibai didn't notice anything unusual about her. He grabbed the red and cold hands, rubbed them gently, and stuffed them into his gloves.
He looked serious, as if he was not helping her put on gloves but doing something pious. He said softly, "It's my fault. My dear is starving."
The man said "my darling" with a hint of doting. Xu Xian pursed his lips uncomfortably, and his ears hidden under his hat turned red.
She did not move or struggle, but stared at his every move quietly and obediently.
The pure white moonlight and the warm yellow lights in the courtyard intertwined and fell on the two of them, like a beautiful snow scene painting. The cold wind was blowing wildly, but it could not blow away the warmth at the moment.
After putting on the gloves, Jiang Shibai glanced at her from top to bottom. Seeing that no other skin was exposed except for her slightly red face, he felt relieved.
He bent his long knuckles. After being outside for a long time, the temperature of his palms was slightly lower. He scratched the tip of Xu Xian's nose affectionately, and said in a gentle and doting voice, "My dear, next time you play in the snow, remember to wrap yourself up well. If you catch a cold, you'll need medicine and injections."
"I'm not afraid of taking medicine and getting injections." Xu Xian responded unconvincedly, his oval face puffed up unconsciously, and his delicate facial features showed a bit of cuteness.
She is not a three-year-old child who is afraid of taking medicine or injections. She just simply doesn't like taking medicine.
And she didn't mean to not wear gloves, hat and scarf. She just had a sudden urge to make a snowman and forgot about it while having fun.
Jiang Shibai chuckled, with a hint of teasing in the corners of his eyes, "Really? Then don't frown when you take the Chinese medicine tomorrow."
Xu Xian: “…”
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Xu Xian simply changed the subject, turned sideways and pointed at the snowman and said, "Isn't the snowman I made beautiful?"
"Well, the snowman made by Guaibao is the cutest in the world." Jiang Shibai took a moment to look at the snowman and praised it against his will.
To be honest, the snowman in front of me looks crooked, the ball is not round, and the proportions of the two balls are a bit problematic. The decorations on it are acceptable though.
Xu Xian raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard that. His cunning eyes darted around and finally stopped at Jiang Shibai's face. His expression was unclear. "Then guess who the snowman I built is."
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai felt an ominous premonition in his heart. His originally careless gaze became more serious as he looked the snowman up and down.
His gaze paused slightly and fell on the familiar tie. The snowman's neck was a bit thick, so the tie could only be tied into a small knot, which looked out of place.
After a while, he slowly spoke, his tone ambiguous, "Don't tell Mr. Jiang, this is the snowman Mrs. Jiang built for him."
Xu Xian smiled knowingly, his fox eyes dotted with stars, "You got the answer right, I'll reward Mr. Jiang with a barbecue tonight."
She just wanted to eat barbecue, and the snowman in front of her was just her idea. After all, Jiang Shibai gave her so many gifts, and she gave him a snowman she made by herself in return, which was full of sincerity.
Jiang Shibai didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
He felt very touched that Xu Xian built a snowman for him, but the snowman was him, and a little ugly, so it was hard to comment.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xu Xian asked nervously: "Are you not satisfied?"
"No." Jiang Shibai answered very quickly, afraid of being a second late, "The good-looking ones are very lifelike, and look a lot like me."
Xu Xian looked at Jiang Shibai suspiciously, then looked at the snowman on the ground.
Does it look like it?
Forget it, I’ll just build him a snowman. He says it looks like one, so it’s fine!
Xu Xian, feeling sad for the man's poor eyesight, took out his cell phone and waved it at Jiang Shibai.
"Let's take a picture with it!"
Jiang Shibai couldn't bear to look at the snowman on the ground, but he would not miss the opportunity to take a photo with Xu Xian. Neither of them particularly liked taking photos. From the time they got married until now, they didn't have any photos together except the one on the marriage certificate.
Xu Xian called Aunt Zhang, who was preparing a barbecue in the house and had not left yet, to come out and help them take pictures.
The flash went off and the picture froze.
Under the snowflakes, the two people with sweet smiles stood behind the chubby snowman, holding their left and right hands on the inside and making a huge heart with their outer hands.
They didn't stare at the camera, but looked at each other. It seemed as if there were only two of them in the world, with only each other in their eyes, and the beautiful snow scene behind them served as a backdrop.
The main character is in the photo, and the snowman on the ground seems a bit redundant.
