early morning
While Bai Qianmo was half asleep, she vaguely sensed a dark figure standing beside the bed, staring at her with a pair of deep, unsettling eyes.
She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt unusually heavy. She vaguely felt a cold needle pierce the back of her hand, and then a cool liquid slowly flowed into her body.
She woke up with a start and looked around. The dark bedroom was quiet, and there was no one else besides herself.
With a long sigh of relief, Bai Qianmo turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the back of her left hand in the light. Her fair and delicate hand was still smooth and delicate, but the bone-chilling cold sensation that had seeped into her body was still clear.

A soft knock came from the door, followed by a series of familiar, steady footsteps entering the room.
A moment later, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and handsome figure came into view.
Seeing Bai Qianmo sitting on the bed in a daze, Gu Jueye paused slightly and slowly walked to the bedside.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Only after getting closer to Bai Qianmo did they realize that the little girl was covered in sweat.
"You have a fever?" He immediately reached out and touched Bai Qianmo's forehead.
Bai Qianmo, with her large, misty eyes still wet from just waking up, nestled into Gu Jueye's arms.
"It's nothing, just a nightmare."
Holding Gu Jueye in her arms, Bai Qianmo gradually felt at ease.
Gu Jueye gently stroked her back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Bai Qianmo nestled in Gu Jueye's arms for a while, and Gu Jueye chuckled and asked, "How did the filming go today?"
Mentioning this, Bai Qianmo left Gu Jueye's embrace: "The dress you gave me was too expensive. People who didn't know better would think I was being kept by some rich tycoon."
Although she didn't watch the live stream replay or read the comments left by netizens, she could roughly guess that some people would think in that direction.
Gu Jueye laughed and said, "I'm willing to buy all kinds of beautiful clothes for my little fairy, and I don't need to pay attention to those unfounded speculations online."
"I don't care about what people say online, it's just that I feel the gifts you give me are too expensive. I even broke the necklace you gave me last time."
Gu Jueye reached out and gently took Bai Qianmo's hand, his thumb slowly moving along her slender fingers to the back of her fair hand, his expression focused.
"In my heart, my girl deserves the best things in the world. When you wear the necklace I gave you and the clothes I gave you, I feel very satisfied." Gu Jueye smiled warmly and reached out to pinch Bai Qianmo's cheek.
"Your brother Qian is not short of money."
"Brother Qian, you spoil me so much, what if I start to become dependent on you?"
Gu Jueye ruffled Bai Qianmo's long hair: "Keep lingering, I'll take you all."
Bai Qianmo sighed inwardly, "My girlish heart is about to take flight because of this man."
Gu Jueye's gaze suddenly fell on the black suitcase on the bedside table, and the smile in his eyes faded slightly: "How many days until tomorrow?"
"The flight departs at nine in the morning."
Gu Jueye glanced at the time: "Have you packed your things?"
"Yes, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared."
"Did you bring any mosquito repellent spray and allergy medication?"
"this……"
She really wanted to say that the primeval forest and the isolated island were like flat ground to her, and she really didn't need these things.
"There are actually many plants there that can achieve the same effect."
"It's always good to be prepared. There's a 24-hour pharmacy outside the neighborhood; I'll go buy some for you."
Before Bai Qianmo could speak, Gu Jueye had already grabbed his coat and left the bedroom.
About half an hour later
The phone that was placed next to the bed suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Bai Qianmo immediately answered the phone.
"Hey? Why aren't you back yet?"
"Come to the balcony."
Bai Qianmo got out of bed out of curiosity, walked to the French windows of the bedroom, pulled back the heavy blackout curtains, pushed open the sliding doors, and went to the small balcony of the bedroom.
Suddenly, I was captivated by the view before me.
"Is it snowing?"
It's almost December, and the first snow in the north seems to have arrived ahead of schedule.
Bai Qianmo walked to the balcony railing and looked down. Directly opposite the window was a spacious park, now covered in snow. The ground looked like a clean and soft white cashmere carpet.
My gaze fell on a street lamp, and even though it was seventeen stories high, I could still recognize him at a glance.
"Wait for me, I'll be right down."
Bai Qianmo hurriedly hung up the phone, changed into a set of home clothes, put on a black cashmere coat, wrapped a thick scarf, and rushed out of the house after getting ready.
When she got downstairs, she saw Gu Jueye standing not far away, looking at her. Bai Qianmo smiled, stepped through the thick snow, and ran into his arms.
Gu Jueye stretched out his arms and caught her steadily, burying his head in the crook of her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, this is the first heavy snow we've witnessed together in this city."
Holding the person in his arms, Gu Jueye was slightly dazed, still remembering their first meeting, which was also during a heavy snowfall...
The two walked hand in hand along the winding path in the park, flanked by a maple forest. At this moment, the forest was covered in a blanket of white snow, as if they had stepped into a fairy tale world.
After walking along the path for a while, Bai Qianmo looked back and saw the footprints of two people walking side by side on the winding path.
Her emotions surged inexplicably, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the man's hand beside her.
If she could, she would want this man by her side for every snowfall of the rest of her life.
