The man lifted her chin, and within a second, the kiss came.
He did not close his eyes, and neither did Xu Sui. The cold wind blew across his cheeks, and the bright moonlight reflected on him. Xu Sui could clearly see Lu Chenghuai's eyebrows, as well as the undisguised aggression and strength in his eyes.
Her body couldn't even control the slight tremors, and she had no time to care about the cold wind around her neck.
There was only the warm and soft touch between the lips, and when their eyes met, it seemed as if there were strands of electricity passing through the body.
It made her heart tremble, and she almost couldn't stand.
This was not a strongly aggressive kiss, perhaps because of Lu Chenghuai's serious questioning before, or perhaps because her eyes were reflected in his eyes from beginning to end, looking at her intently and passionately.
Xu Sui climbed onto his shoulders without knowing when, and she felt the feeling was stronger than any time before.
When he finally loosened his hand and only his gentle gaze remained, her mind was blank. She only saw that his earlobe was also stained with a light red, which made her inexplicably happy.
Lu Chenghuai's voice was thicker than before. He touched the top of his target's head and said, "Go back."
Xu Sui pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she did not turn around, but untied the scarf around her neck, stood on tiptoe and tied it around the man's neck, "It's windy at night, you can return it to me tomorrow."
Xu Sui raised her hand and tapped her fingers in the air a few times, "See you tomorrow."
Lu Chenghuai watched her return to the yard and could hear Xu Mian asking her to get some hot water.
He turned around and could only feel the desolation of the moonlight and the cold wind blowing on his face.
Without lowering his head, he could also smell her breath at the tip of his nose, warm and soft.
Lu Chenghuai stretched out his hand to ruffle his scarf and smiled silently. Even though he had to walk back to the dormitory alone in this cold night, he did not feel lonely at all.
When the first snow came, Xu Sui was sitting in her room reading a book. On her desk was a brazier filled with previously burned charcoal. Except when she was turning pages, her hands were always on the table.
Until Tuantuan ran in excitedly, "Auntie, it's snowing!"
Yuanyuan also came in, "Yes! So beautiful!"
No matter how cold the weather was, the children didn't want to stay at home and wanted to run out to play. Tuantuan's round hands were already a little red and swollen. Xu Mian was so angry that she ordered them to stay at home for the next two days.
Xu Sui then looked up and saw that there were indeed snowflakes outside the window, swirling down from the sky and then disappearing into the soil.
She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and let out a soft laugh, "Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, how about I take you guys to see the snow?"
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were already unable to hold back their excitement after just one day at home, and their eyes widened when they heard this.
I don’t know what snow viewing is, but my aunt is definitely going to take them to play!
Their voices were higher and higher, "Okay!"
Xu Sui moved the tables and chairs to the eaves and placed two hot braziers there.
She took the black tea that Lu Chenghuai had given her earlier, stir-fried it in the pot for a while, then added rock sugar and a few slices of apple and orange, and brought it to a boil.
During this time, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan acted as her little helpers. When she said she was going to get apples and oranges, Tuantuan was a little surprised, "Auntie, do you want oranges to cook?"
"No, it's for making tea." Xu Sui poured the rock sugar on.
Without exquisite kitchen utensils, she could only clean the iron pot carefully and use it to make apple hot orange tea, which was really interesting.
Apples, oranges, and rock sugar are all delicious things to Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan. Although the tea is ordinary and not as delicious as the sugar water, they are already looking forward to it with the first three things.
It doesn't take long to make hot tea. If the orange peel is boiled for a long time, it will become bitter. Xu Sui scooped the boiled tea into the teapot and poured a cup for everyone.
The freshly brewed tea was still a little hot, so Xu Sui asked them not to drink it yet and went in to give Xu Mian a cup.
Although Xu Mian no longer often drinks very hot water, she still blows on it a few times and takes a sip after receiving it.
"How is this made?" Xu Mian looked at it carefully, and could only see that it looked like it was made with black tea.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "I make black tea with apples and oranges, and add some rock sugar."
"It tastes good." Xu Mian affirmed, "I never thought that fruit can be used to make tea."
What was even more unexpected was that the taste was not strange at all, it was sour and sweet, and she really liked it.
Xu Sui said: "Last time I went to Shanghai, I saw a teacher bringing this, so I asked her how to make it. I think it's okay to drink it occasionally, it helps relieve greasy feeling and warms you up."
Xu Mian sighed, "It turns out that city people know how to enjoy life. Otherwise, no one would prepare fruit like this. It's not that it's a waste or it's not right, but I just can't imagine that there are other ways to eat fruit."
Some people seldom eat fruit, let alone explore other uses of fruit, such as making tea.
Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, who had tried many drinks before, was conquered by this cup of apple hot orange tea after just one sip. The sour and sweet taste really won the hearts of children.
Xu Sui and the other two held a cup of tea each, warmed themselves by the fire under the eaves, watched the snowflakes falling over the yard, and told them stories softly.
Children who haven't started school yet have no resistance to listening to stories. They open their eyes wide and are not distracted at all.
When Lu Chenghuai came over, he was a little surprised to see his girlfriend and his two little nieces sitting outside.
Xu Sui was resting today, but he was busy and had to work, so he came over immediately.
Before he started dating, he thought he would build a warm home with a woman he liked, but he never thought that he would be the one who was more attached.
Even the jokes in the army, he never denied it, he really liked it.
Lu Chenghuai walked over and curled his lips slightly, "What are you talking about?"
When Tuantuan and Yuanyuan saw him, they immediately greeted him, "Uncle, we are listening to Auntie's story!"
They had heard from other people that the uncle who often came to their home was their uncle-in-law, so they called him "uncle-in-law". Later, their mother heard about it and said that it was not appropriate to call him that, so they just called him "uncle".
Lu Chenghuai also took a chair and sat beside him. Xu Sui moved the brazier on her side towards him, but was pushed over by him.
"I'm not cold." Lu Chenghuai was telling the truth.
Although it was still snowing and had accumulated into a thin layer on the ground, there was no wind and he even felt a little hot as he walked along.
After Xu Sui finished telling the story, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan went inside to tell their mother the story they had just memorized. This was also planned beforehand and was also a way to train their expressive ability.
As soon as they entered, the man next to them held her hand.
Warm and powerful, he is indeed not cold.
