When Xu Mengyao and Huang Jianwei walked back to the alley, two men with greasy hair and powdered faces whistled at them from a distance.
"Hey, Jianwei, you changed girls again?" one of the men said jokingly, his eyes full of frivolity.
"This one looks pretty good," another echoed, with a malicious smile on his face.
Huang Jianwei frowned and responded seriously:
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my sister!"
"Sister? Last time I wanted to see what your sister looks like, but you refused to show me. Now there's another sister. How about I be your brother-in-law? Brother-in-law is fine too." The greasy-haired and powdered man continued to tease.
Huang Jianwei's eyes widened as he glared at the man, "Get lost! What are you dreaming of? You're practically a coward! Are you looking for a beating?"
"Okay, just kidding. Why are you so anxious? Let's leave first. Bye, sister~"
After saying that, he deliberately blew a kiss to Xu Mengyao.
Huang Jianwei was so angry that his face turned blue. He bent down, picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at him, cursing:
"Wenjuan, they are not good people. Don't bother with them if you see them next time. If they pester you, come back and tell us. My brother and I will take care of them."
Xu Mengyao nodded gently and asked, "Where's my eldest brother?"
"He went back to the army. Before he left, he gave me all his private money and asked me to take good care of you guys on his behalf." Huang Jianwei sighed, a helpless smile on his face.
In this way, Huang Jianwen, carrying his elder brother's instructions, took Xu Mengyao to visit Kyoto for two or three days. On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, he was awakened by Huang Wenrong's excited voice:
"Wenjuan, look! It's snowing! It's so heavy, we can even have a snowball fight."
Xu Mengyao rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked to the window, her eyes instantly brightening. The world outside seemed to be covered by a layer of flawless white gauze. Snowflakes continued to fall densely from the sky, and the whole world became quiet and peaceful.
She gently pushed open the window and reached out to catch the snowflakes. The snowflakes touched her palm and slowly melted into water droplets, bringing a hint of coolness.
Bursts of laughter came from downstairs. Jianming and Jianwen were already running wildly in the yard. Their figures soon left a trail of footprints on the snow, and their laughter penetrated the tranquility of the early morning.
The two sisters quickly changed their clothes, and Xu Mengyao specially asked Huang Wenrong to change into the red coat. As soon as they came downstairs, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The family members praised her: "Our little princess is here!"
Huang's father said with a smile: "This dress is very nice to wear. The auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. The coming year will surely be prosperous!"
At this time, Huang Jianwen ran in, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Sister Rong, Sister Juan, come out quickly, let's go have a snowball fight!"
He couldn't wait to pull them out the door.
"Jianwen, where are you going? We can just play in the yard." Huang Wenrong asked worriedly.
"No, my second brother has gone out to play snowballs a long time ago, and Lai Piqiang and the others must have gone too. I have to let them see that I have such a beautiful sister, hehe~" Huang Jianwen answered proudly.
The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the alley, where they saw a group of teenagers fighting fiercely, with a few half-grown children following behind and attacking them.
Huang Jianwen's voice rang out at the entrance of the alley: "Second brother, we are here."
This shout made everyone look over.
"Wow, Snow White." A child with a runny nose from the cold stared at Huang Wenrong blankly, his eyes full of amazement.
"Laipi Qiang, your snot is flowing into your mouth. This is my sister." Huang Jianwen said arrogantly, looking at the other person with a look of disgust.
"Hey, Dawei, this is your precious relative, she's so pretty."
The boy next to Huang Jianwei exclaimed in admiration, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"You don't deserve to be beautiful. Take your eyes off me and prepare to die!"
As he spoke, Huang Jianwei hurled two massive snowballs at them, and a fight was imminent. Xu Mengyao and Huang Wenrong were no exception, quickly becoming absorbed in the game, dodging and evading with smiles, occasionally picking up a snowball to retaliate.
As the snowballs drew white arcs in the air, laughter and joy echoed in the alley. Soon, they were sweating and panting. Huang Jianwei saw that the two sisters were exhausted, so he quickly stopped them and took their younger brother and sister home to rest.
After walking a few steps, Huang Jianwei suddenly called out to the person in front of him: "Hey, Brother He, you're back? It's so cold, and you're still taking pictures of the scenery."
Only then did Xu Mengyao notice that there was a boy holding a camera standing on the viewing platform of the courtyard in front of her.
The boy nodded at Huang Jianwei and said calmly, "Well, come and play when you have time."
After saying that, he turned and walked down the observation deck.
"This is Brother He. He is studying in the United States. He loves to carry a camera and take pictures everywhere." Huang Jianwei introduced casually.

At the He family, He Chuan came down from the observation deck and returned to the living room. He walked straight to the phone and dialed a number:
"Hey, uncle, have you found the female lead for the MV?"
After receiving the other party's response, He Chuan smiled and said, "I found it for you. I just took a photo. Come and see it tomorrow."
---
The next morning, Zhang Chengli arrived at the He family. Zhang Ting, the daughter-in-law of the He family, was surprised to see her brother:
"Why are you here at this hour?"
"I came to see Xiaochuan. He knew I had been searching like crazy lately for a female lead for the superstar's music video and still hadn't found the right one. But he kept me in suspense, saying he found someone for me, but he wouldn't tell me who it was."
Zhang Chengli untied his scarf and walked towards his nephew's room.
Seeing He Chuan still sleeping in bed, Zhang Chengli was furious. He reached into the quilt with his cold hands, successfully woke him up, and followed He Chuan to the darkroom to get the photos.
Zhang Chengli looked at the girl in the photo. She was wearing a bright red coat, standing in a field of pure white snow. Flakes of snow still clung to her long, dark hair. Her cheeks and nose were a faint red from the cold, and her lips were an alluring rosy hue. Her large, bright black eyes held a pure smile, and half-melted snow still clung to her eyelashes. She exuded an indescribable charm. She was so beautiful—exactly the person he was looking for.
"Where are the people?" Zhang Chengli asked excitedly.
"The Huang family in front, his relatives."
After getting the answer, Zhang Chengli was about to go out immediately.
"Hey, you're going to someone's house empty-handed on New Year's Day?" Zhang Ting quickly stopped his brother and said,
"Okay, now that we know someone's on the other side and can't run away, call the youngest of the Huang family and tell them you're going to visit. I'll prepare something for you."
Zhang Chengli finally calmed down and called the Huang family across the street.
