…
When Xu Mengyao woke up, everything in front of her was pitch black.
An inexplicable panic surged in my heart.
Seeing the orange light seeping in through the crack in the door, she slowly sat up from the bed, stepped barefoot onto the floor, and followed the light out of the room.
The temperature inside the house was unusually pleasant and warm. The warm orange light cast a gentle glow across the high-ceilinged, two-story villa, coating every inch of the space with a soft glow.
In the center of the living room, a huge wool carpet is spread out, which is soft and comfortable to step on.
In the closet, the crackling sound of burning wood can be clearly heard, bringing with it a primitive warmth and tranquility.
Lin Xiaohe was wearing a beige sweater and holding a cup of coffee. He stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, looking out the window with deep eyes.
The snow was falling like goose feathers, and the world outside was covered in white snow, quiet and beautiful. It formed a sharp contrast with the warm orange light inside, which made people feel an indescribable beauty.
Lin Xiaohe heard the noise, turned around, and saw that she was barefoot. He frowned slightly, then walked to the sofa, picked up a blanket, and gently draped it over her shoulders.
"You caught a cold today, why are you wearing so little?"
Xu Mengyao looked down at her bare feet and the unfamiliar nightgown she was wearing, and then she realized her loss of composure.
"Why are we here? What I'm wearing is..." she asked a little embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, the maid changed it for you. She has already left work. Someone will deliver your luggage tomorrow. There is porridge in the kitchen. I will heat it up for you." Lin Xiaohe saw that she was uncomfortable and explained gently.
Xu Mengyao didn't refuse. She had barely eaten anything today and was now starving. She sat on the sofa, holding the hot porridge handed to her by the man in both hands, lowering her head and drinking it attentively.
Suddenly, her ankle fell into a warm palm. When she looked up, she saw Lin Xiaohe half-kneeling on the ground, carefully putting on slippers for her.
She was startled and instinctively wanted to retract her foot, "I can do it myself."
The man held her feet tightly as she was about to shrink back, and stopped her, saying, "Don't move. Drink your porridge well."
Seeing Lin Xiaohe's unusually assertive attitude, she had no choice but to continue drinking her porridge, but her mind was completely occupied by the man's behavior. She felt her face burning and her heart pounding like a deer.
After drinking the porridge, Lin Xiaohe carefully measured her temperature again. After confirming that the fever had subsided, the two sat on the sofa, their eyes met, and they felt the air a little thin.
In order to break this delicate atmosphere, Xu Mengyao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, and praised sincerely:
“It’s so beautiful here, it’s like being in a fairy tale world.”
Lin Xiaohe stood side by side with her in front of the window, but his eyes kept lingering on her profile.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
The man's voice was deep and magnetic, making people feel excited.
Noticing his gaze, Xu Mengyao turned around and thanked him solemnly:
"Evan, I have to thank you again today. Otherwise, I might not be able to stand here. Your appearance today is just like the scenery outside. It feels so unreal."
Lin Xiaohe recalled the dangerous situation today and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
After frowning briefly, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, with a hint of ridicule:
"Do you feel that my appearance is unreal, or do you feel that I am too handsome to be real?"
Xu Mengyao's brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and the words that she blurted out unconsciously before she fell into coma echoed with a buzzing sound.
Her cheeks instantly turned red, and shame surged over her like a tide, making her wish she could find a hole to crawl into.
Lin Xiaohe looked at the embarrassed girl and gently pulled one of her hands. The hand was small and white, like a piece of fine jade, forming a sharp visual contrast with his broad palm.
His voice was low, with a hint of blame and fondness: "Just to avoid me? You came here alone and put yourself in danger."
"I'm not hiding from you. I just want to come here to ski." Xu Mengyao retorted in a low voice, her voice barely audible.
Her hands were gently kneaded by the man, as if her heart was being kneaded by him. Her heartbeat accelerated and even her breathing became difficult.
"You're not avoiding me, you just agreed to spend Christmas with me." The man deliberately pressed the question with a sly smile on his lips.
Xu Mengyao curled her lips and remained silent, secretly complaining in her heart: Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and you have already found me here, it is obvious that you want to celebrate the holiday together, there is no point in refusing.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaohe let go of the girl's hand with a satisfied smile, turned around and walked into the house, leaving behind a sentence: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her breathing become smoother. Before she could fully recover, Lin Xiaohe returned with an exquisite little box.
"This is my Christmas present to you. Open it and see if you like it."
Xu Mengyao opened the box and a dazzling diamond bracelet came into view.
She looked at the bracelet in surprise, "This...this is quite expensive."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Xiaohe had already taken out the bracelet and gently put it on her wrist.
He gazed at the bracelet shining on the girl's slender wrist, very satisfied:
"The moment I saw it, I knew it would look beautiful on you. Yao, be my girlfriend. I want to always be by your side and protect you."
The man gently held Xu Mengyao's cheek, forcing her to look up and look directly into his eyes.
