Chapter 630: First Snow, Best for Love
Xie Xubai said softly, "We can just go up by ourselves, no need to entertain us specially."
"Okay. There are a lot of people coming to see the snow tonight, so I'm busy."
The boss was smiling. His mountain villa had a great view, and the business was best during the snowy season. Today was the first snow in the capital, and those guests who hadn't booked a room planned to spend the night in the yard to enjoy the snow.
This is also for the sake of romance and not being afraid of the cold.
He looked at Huo Sijiao who was 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 unique 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 French windows on all four sides. It was surrounded by cedar trees, with snow on the tops, which looked really beautiful.
The fireplace in the room was burning, and the charcoal fire in the small stove was making a crackling sound.
The best Dahongpao is being cooked, with steam rising from the air.
There is a great view in front of the largest French window, with soft velvet cushions. It is great to sit there, drink tea, eat snacks and enjoy the snow.
Huo Sijiao looked around and found that there was indeed no curtain covering the window.
There's nothing you can do in this 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, where 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 on 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 out of the teapot on the stove.
"Is this the popular tea-making around the stove on the Internet?" Huo Sijiao said softly, "I don't want to drink tea today. I feel like drinking wine. This kind of scenery and wine go well together."
Xie Xubai sat 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 profile 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 has a good reputation, 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 old self."
Huo Sijiao, who foolishly chased Shen Xuanzhi, died in the first snow of the imperial capital.
From then on, that place in her heart became empty.
Xie Xubai didn't investigate further, but took out his landline phone and called his boss to send some wine over.
Soon, the boss knocked on the door with the 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 could tell it at once by smelling it.
Xie Xubai took a sip and said, "You are in for a treat. The boss is very good at brewing wine. The alcohol content of the fruit wine is low, so it is difficult to get drunk."
"Thank you, I was right about you. You are really 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 glass, saying, "Drink less, it's harmful to your health."
Huo Sijiao turned around and said with a faint smell of alcohol on her body: "If I don't get hurt tonight, I will 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 liked someone seriously?"
“Not at this time.”
Huo Sijiao sighed when she heard what he said, "You are quite lucky. I went to see Shen Xuanzhi tonight under the pretext of giving him a gift."
After she drank some wine, she lost some of her distance.
She herself didn't realize that since Xie Xubai showed up tonight, she had become less polite to him than before.
"Shen Xuanzhi is really going to marry Guan Jingtan. It turns out that he really hates my previous entanglement. Then it must be a humiliation for him that I took the initiative to pay him back the 200,000 yuan. He has such a strong self-esteem, no wonder he hates me..."
Her voice was still a little trembling, and she sounded aggrieved.
"It turns out that he likes gentle and pretty girls like Guan Jingtan. She and I are completely different types."
Huo Sijiao had a lot of words she wanted to vent.
Xie Xubai looked at the snowflakes flying outside and understood Shen Xuanzhi too well.
He is a man, so he naturally understands men's forbearance.
Originally, he could have had his own selfish thoughts and not said them out loud. But seeing Huo Sijiao so upset, he said, "Shen Xuanzhi doesn't hate you. On the contrary, he likes you a little bit."
"like?"
Huo Sijiao was stunned. "How can you tell that he likes me? He can't even be bothered to talk to me for a few more words."
"Shen Xuanzhi is too self-deprecating in front of you. He also has a blood feud."
"Then he and Guan Jingtan are a good match?"
"Suitable." Xie Xubai slowly stood up and said while looking through the cabinet, "They each took what they needed and used each other. He doesn't like Guan Jingtan..."
Huo Sijiao felt a pang in her heart.
She frowned tightly, with red eyes: "He wants to take 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 so pure, it would be blasphemy to mix in even the slightest bit of self-interest."
Xie Xubai walked up to her side, half-knelt casually on the cushion and held her right hand.
Open your palms.
The above wound was caused by a scrape in front of Guan's house, and there are faint traces of blood on the broken skin.
Huo Sijiao just looked at him as they got closer. The light sandalwood scent on Xie Xubai's body became stronger, and there was also a hint of warm fruit wood scent.
Addictive.
She couldn't help but move closer and smell it again, and her bright eyes glanced at Xie Xubai.
He put the first aid kit 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 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 and said, "It's safer to disinfect it. Your brother entrusted your safety to me, so this is my responsibility."
"What benefits did he give you? A cooperative project or some other conspiracy?"
Xie Xubai's mouth corners sank slightly, his jade-like face was very elegant and easy-going, "Some benefits that both of us are satisfied with."
Huo Sijiao didn't care. She sat on the cushion and drank the bottle of fruit wine.
And the other side.
In the dead of night, the branches were covered with snow.
The cell phone that Qiao Xi had placed on the bedside table suddenly lit up.
