Bai Xiaoruo opened the door, and a strong gust of cold wind rushed in.
She couldn't help but shiver and shrink back.
It's so cold outside compared to inside!
However, the snow-covered landscape is truly beautiful.
The snow had lessened considerably since it started. Bai Xiaoruo happily ran to the center of the snowfield, gently scooped up a small pile of snow with her hands, and tossed it into the air. It was so much fun! She tried it again.
When I was little, I loved cutting up pieces of paper and throwing them into the air, like fairies scattering flowers. But now that I've seen real snow, I understand that this is the true gift of nature—fairies scattering flowers.
She hopped and skipped around in the snow for a while, until she got a little warm.
Bai Xiaoru squatted on the snow, intending to build a small snowman.
She first made a larger snowball and smoothed it out; this would be the snowman's body. Then she prepared to make a smaller snowball for the snowman's head.
As she was diligently building snowballs, her cell phone suddenly started ringing with a pleasant ringtone.
She took off her gloves and took out her phone from her pocket to see who was calling.
Ever since she was taken away by Bai Xiaofu and "severely tortured" at the Bai family, Xuan Mingyu has instructed her to always carry her phone with her, except when showering or sleeping. She must carry it with her wherever she goes.
He didn't say why, and Bai Xiaoruo never expected it. In fact, every time Xuan Mingyu was able to find her immediately, it was thanks to the location tracking on her phone.
Bai Xiaoruo took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Brother Ziqian.
She stood up and looked around. Xian Mingyu wasn't there. It shouldn't be a problem for her to answer Qian Ge's call.
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo pressed the call button, before she could even speak, Ji Ziqian's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
[Xiao Ruo, are you alright? Shu Shu told me you haven't been to school for almost half a month. Did something happen to you? Or is that man preventing you from going to school?]
Ji Ziqian's first thought was whether Xuan Mingyu was still imprisoning Bai Xiaoruo and forbidding her from leaving the house.
After all, he always felt that the man was very dangerous to Bai Xiaoruo, and the two of them were simply not from the same world.
It was only when Ji Ziqian mentioned it that Bai Xiaoruo remembered.
She hadn't been to school for a long time, and she didn't even know when her grades came out. Every time Ji Shushu texted her, Bai Xiaoruo would just give a few casual replies and never tell her where she was. She didn't want her to worry, and she didn't want Ji Ziqian to know that she was injured and hospitalized and couldn't go to school. Otherwise, the two of them would definitely have come to the hospital to find her.
"No, Ziqian, it's not what you think. I'm fine now, nothing's wrong, and I'll be going back to school in a few days. By the way, I should tell you, I'm not in L City right now, I'm in M Country. The snow scenery here is so beautiful, Ziqian, have you ever seen snow?"
[Country M? How did you end up there?]
"Well, to be honest, I came here with him for our honeymoon, and this is also his home... Let me video chat with you, so you can enjoy the snow scenery together. I'm even planning to build a snowman."
Honeymoon... Ji Ziqian couldn't help but feel ironic.
He was so worried about her, thinking something must have happened to her that she hadn't been to school for so long. Little did he know, she was currently cuddling with another man, and they were even on their honeymoon.
Yes, they are husband and wife. He has no right to interfere with where they go or what they do... But even though she is married and belongs to another man, he still doesn't want to give up on her and can't forget her.
While Ji Ziqian was feeling sentimental, Bai Xiaoruo had already sent a video notification. He quickly put away his worries, clicked on the video, and her smiling face appeared on the screen.
It was indeed very cold in Country M. She was wearing a very thick coat and a knitted hat. Her long hair was not tied up, but was casually draped over her waist. She was no longer wearing her black-rimmed glasses, but had switched to contact lenses.
She has a pair of big, round eyes, and although she's not wearing makeup, her skin is in great condition.
She has a sweet smile and is very cute.
"Brother Ziqian, can you see me?"
[Yes, I saw it.]
"Brother Ziqian, look, this is the snowman I built. It's halfway done, just need to finish the head."
She squatted down and pointed the camera specifically at the body of the snowman she had built, while showing Ji Ziqian the snowman's head, which was already almost a semicircle.
This is her first snowman creation. Although it's not finished yet, Bai Xiaoruo is still very proud of it.
[I saw it! Although it doesn't have a head yet, I think the snowman Xiaoruo built must be the cutest in the world.]
"Hehe, Ziqian, I'm embarrassed by your praise. I'll take pictures and show them to you after I've finished piling them up. With such high praise from you, I can't let you down."
Okay, I'll look forward to it.
Bai Xiaoruo wanted to say something more to Ji Ziqian, but suddenly someone took her phone and ended the call.
She stood up again, looking completely bewildered. The person in front of her had an extremely dark expression and was clutching her phone tightly in his hand.
"What are you laughing about so happily? Have you forgotten everything I told you?"
Xuan Mingyu originally came out to find Bai Xiaoruo and go back. From afar, he saw her squatting on the ground, looking at her phone and laughing to herself. When he heard Ji Ziqian's voice coming from the phone, he didn't think much of it and angrily walked over and snatched the phone from her.
