Chapter 630: First Snow, Best for Love
Xie Xubai said softly, "We can just go up on our own. There's no need to entertain us."
"Okay. There are a lot of people coming to see the snow tonight, so some of us are busy."
The owner was beaming. His mountain villa had a beautiful view, and business was peaking on snowy days. Today was the first snow in the capital, and those who hadn't booked a room planned to spend the night in the courtyard, enjoying the snow.
This is also for the sake of romance and not being afraid of the cold.
He glanced at Huo Sijiao, who was standing beside Xie Xubai, and smiled kindly, "In previous years, Mr. Xie always came alone, but this year he has company. I'll excuse myself, please come inside."
"good."
Xie Xubai led Huo Sijiao inside and went up to the largest room on the top floor.
Looking at the chic door in front of her, Huo Sijiao asked, "Are you bringing me here to enjoy the snow, or to get a room?"
Xie Xubai pushed the door open and asked, "What do you think a room like this can do to you?"
The room was large, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. It was surrounded by cedar trees, the tops of which were covered with snow, which was really beautiful.
The fireplace in the room was burning, and the charcoal fire in the small stove was crackling.
The best Dahongpao is being cooked, with steam rising in the air.
The largest floor-to-ceiling window has a great view and is lined with soft cushions. It's a great place to sit and drink tea, eat snacks, and enjoy the snow.
Huo Sijiao looked around and found that there was indeed no curtain covering it.
There shouldn't be anything you can do with this kind of room.
She took off her windbreaker and put it aside, then changed into the slippers prepared in the room, and walked into the warm room. Even the floor was warm to the touch.
Very comfortable.
There was a faint fruity scent in the room, as well as the sandalwood scent of Xie Xubai's body.
She walked briskly to the cushion and sat down, leaning on the glass to watch the snow falling outside.
"It's so beautiful."
She turned around and saw Xie Xubai still standing at the door and said, "Come on, don't you want to enjoy the snow?"
Xie Xubai walked over to her and sat down. Steam was bubbling in the teapot on the stove.
"Is this the popular fireside tea-making method online?" Huo Sijiao said softly, "I don't feel like drinking tea today. I'd rather drink wine. This scenery and wine go really well together."
Xie Xubai sat cross-legged opposite her, his posture looking very elegant.
The light in the room was warm and dim, and the flames from the fireplace cast a shadow on the side of his face.
He said, "Do you trust me too much as a gentleman, or are you deliberately giving me a chance?"
"Your Xie family is of good character, and I believe in your character. Drink less, I won't get drunk tonight." Huo Sijiao looked at the snowy scene outside the window and said lightly, "I just want to say goodbye to my former self."
Huo Sijiao, who foolishly chased Shen Xuanzhi, died in the first snow of the imperial capital.
From then on, the place in her heart was empty.
Xie Xubai didn't investigate further, but took out his landline and called his boss to send some wine over.
Soon, the boss knocked on the door with wine, put it down and left.
Xie Xubai took out a wine glass and placed it in front of her, then poured her a small glass of wine, and placed the snacks in the food box next to her.
"It's plum wine."
Huo Sijiao smelled it right away.
Xie Xubai took a sip and said, "You're in luck. The boss is very good at brewing wine. The alcohol content of the fruit wine is low, so it's hard to get drunk."
"Xie Xubai, I wasn't wrong about you. You truly are a gentleman."
Huo Sijiao drank the wine in the glass and poured herself another one.
She can't drink much, but she has a strong appetite for food.
One cup after another.
Xie Xubai reached out and held her wine glass, saying, "Drink less, it's harmful to your health."
Huo Sijiao turned around, a faint smell of alcohol on her body, and said, "If I don't hurt myself tonight, I'll be sad. You said it's hard to get drunk on fruit wine, so let the alcohol numb my pain a little. I feel very uncomfortable. Have you ever seriously liked someone?"
"Not yet."
Huo Sijiao sighed after hearing what he said, "You're quite lucky then. I went to see Shen Xuanzhi tonight under the pretext of giving him a gift."
After she drank some wine, she became less distant.
She herself didn't realize that since Xie Xubai appeared tonight, she was no longer as polite to him as before.
"Shen Xuanzhi is really going to marry Guan Jingtan. It turns out he really hated my previous entanglement. Then I took the initiative to pay him back the 200,000 yuan, which must have been a humiliation for him. He has such a strong self-esteem, no wonder he hates me..."
Her voice was still trembling, and she sounded aggrieved.
"It turns out that he likes gentle and pretty people like Guan Jingtan. She and I are completely different types."
Huo Sijiao had a lot to say.
Xie Xubai looked at the snowflakes floating outside and understood Shen Xuanzhi too well.
He is a man, so he naturally understands men's tolerance.
Originally, he could have had his own selfish thoughts but kept them to himself. But seeing Huo Sijiao so distressed, he said, "Shen Xuanzhi doesn't dislike you. On the contrary, he kind of likes you."
"like?"
Huo Sijiao was stunned. "How can you tell that he likes me? He can't even be bothered to say a word to me."
"Shen Xuanzhi is too self-deprecating in front of you. He also has a blood feud."
"Then he and Guan Jingtan are suitable?"
"Suitable." Xie Xubai slowly stood up and looked through the side cabinet. "They each took what they needed and used each other. He doesn't like Guan Jingtan..."
Huo Sijiao felt a pang of anxiety in her heart.
She frowned tightly, her eyes reddened. "He wants revenge on the Lu family, and my sister-in-law and brother are also targeting the Lu family. Can't we do the same? Why did he choose..."
"Because your feelings for him are too pure, even the slightest bit of self-interest would be blasphemy."
Xie Xubai walked to her side, half-knelt casually on the cushion and held her right hand.
Open your palms.
The wound above was caused by a scratch in front of Guan's house, and there were faint traces of blood on the broken skin.
Huo Sijiao just stared at him as they drew closer. The faint sandalwood scent on Xie Xubai's body became even stronger, along with wisps of warm fruity wood.
Addictive.
She couldn't help but move closer and smell it again, and her bright eyes glanced at Xie Xubai.
He put the small medicine box aside and took out an alcohol cotton swab to wipe her palm.
"hiss!"
Huo Sijiao took a deep breath, and the hazy feeling disappeared.
"It hurts so much! This is the meat marinated with alcohol." Huo Sijiao blew hard on her palm. "Actually, this kind of minor injury doesn't need to be treated. It will scab over by tomorrow."
Xie Xubai put the alcohol cotton aside: "It's safer to disinfect it. Your brother entrusted your safety to me, so this is my responsibility."
"What benefit did he give you? A cooperative project or something else?"
Xie Xubai's mouth corners drooped slightly, his jade-like face looking very elegant and easygoing. "Something that will satisfy both of us."
Huo Sijiao didn't care. She sat on the cushion and drank the bottle of fruit wine.
And the other side.
Late at night, the branches are covered with snow.
The cell phone that Qiao Xi placed on the bedside suddenly lit up.
