There was a hint of smile in Xiao Jingxi's voice: "It's a hindrance." Then, he didn't know how he moved, but the snowflakes on his head actually fell down at that moment, and his black hair was not wet at all.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned. She looked at the calm Xiao Jingxi and suddenly remembered something, then smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Jingxi turned around and asked.
Ren Yaoqi suppressed his laughter and shook his head.
She recalled her last letter mocking Xiao Jingxi's handwriting, saying it was softer than Xiao Jinglin's. Was Xiao Jingxi just trying to subtly show off to her, proving he wasn't as "weak" as he appeared? However, Ren Yaoqi knew it was difficult to say this in front of Xiao Jingxi. She still had to give him some face.
However, when Xiao Jingxi saw the teasing smile on Ren Yaoqi's face, he began to understand a little. Although he still looked as if nothing had happened on the surface, his ears were a little red.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that he was silent, Ren Yaoqi asked again.
At this time, they had just turned a corner and Nanxing and the others had not caught up yet. Xiao Jingxi stopped and spread his palms in front of Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised. When she looked down, she found that there was a red bean in Xiao Jingxi's palm. Meeting Xiao Jingxi's gentle gaze with a smile, Ren Yaoqi's face turned red. She was about to take the red bean back from Xiao Jingxi's hand, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingxi held her hand as soon as she stretched out her hand.
Ren Yaoqi's hand moved but she didn't pull it out. She couldn't help but glare at him, a little embarrassed and annoyed: "You..."
Nanxing, who was about to turn the corner, moved her ears, glanced at the other two maids, and stopped walking.
Sang Zhen glanced at Nan Xing and subconsciously stopped walking. Apple was still trying to follow, but Nan Xing grabbed her arm. Apple looked at Nan Xing in confusion, and Nan Xing looked at her but said nothing, so the two of them just stood there staring at each other.
"How can we take back something that has been given away?" Xiao Jingxi held Ren Yaoqi's hand tightly in his own hand under the cover of his sleeve and whispered.
The fiery touch of his palm made half of Ren Yaoqi's arm burn, even hotter than the other hand holding the small heater. She was about to break free, but Xiao Jingxi let go of her hand.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and took his hand back, holding his heater tightly with both hands.
"I read the letter and came here." Xiao Jingxi said in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Xiao Jingxi was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would get angry, so he curled his lips and continued walking forward. Ren Yaoqi also followed.
The two of them walked slowly in Merlin without saying a word. The only sound around them was the "crunching" sound of their boots on the snow, but they felt a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.
Not knowing how long they had been walking, Ren Yaoqi looked at the road and whispered, "Let's go back." She was afraid that if they were out for too long, someone would come looking for them. Although she knew that Xiao Jingxi must have sent people to guard the area, it was still not a good idea for her to stay outside for too long.
Although Xiao Jingxi wanted to keep walking with her like this until the end, he also understood what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, so he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
The two found another way back.
"I'm afraid things in the south are almost over." Xiao Jingxi suddenly said.
