At this time, Zhao Shiyun walked into the house after shoveling snow, feeling a little cold. He walked over to Lin Yan and sat down, holding Lin Yan's hand. He asked softly, "Brother Yan, are you cold?" Lin Yan shook his head and leaned on Zhao Shiyun's shoulder. "With you here, I'm not cold." Zhao Shiyun gently patted Lin Yan's shoulder and said, "When the snow melts, I'll take you for a walk, but only in the yard."
Lin Yan looked up at Zhao Shiyun, his eyes full of tenderness, "Okay." The two snuggled together, enjoying this warm moment, as if time had stopped. They only wished that the years could always be so peaceful.

Time passed quickly, the winter chill gradually dissipating, ushering in the spring willows that had just sprouted new buds. The river water was still bitterly cold. Zhao Yian poked here and there with a stick, occasionally glancing in the direction of home. Nan Ge'er caught a ground dragon and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, asking curiously, "An Ge'er, why are you so absent-minded today?"
Zhao Yian said listlessly, "My daddy is going to have a little brother, and he won't let me stay home to watch, saying he's afraid of scaring me, so he told me to come out and play with you."
Nan Ge'er patted his little head and said, "Then we won't dig for the earth dragon. Let's go to your door secretly and take a look."
Zhao Yian raised his head suddenly. Yes, he could do it quietly so that his father wouldn't find out.
He did it right away. Without saying anything, he pulled Nan Ge'er up and ran home.
The two of them tiptoed to the door and peeked in through the crack. Before they could see clearly, they heard a loud cry, and Zhao Yian was stunned.
