After walking in the snow for a long time, both of their shoes were soaked with water and their pants were also wet.
The feeling of being cold was really unpleasant, so after having lunch on the shore, the two of them went back to school to change their pants and shoes.
Luo Xiaofei was still unwilling to just play with Chen Zihan for half a day, but after Chen Zihan's repeated reminders, she finally gave up.
I didn’t sleep well last night and was thinking too much. When I woke up today, Luo Xiaofei was actually quite sleepy.
I didn't feel tired at all because I was excited while playing.
As soon as I had lunch, I naturally felt sleepy.
In the end, she decided to take a nap after taking a shower and deal with everything after she woke up.
Luo Xiaofei obediently went back to sleep, and Chen Zihan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he returned to the dormitory, he sent a message to Lu Ruorong, asking her to wait for him at the entrance of the botanical garden at around one o'clock.
He decided to take Lu Ruorong to the Botanical Garden to play in the snow first, and then climb up Baoshishan Mountain to see the snow scenery of West Lake.
If there is still time, go somewhere else to play.
I originally wanted to go to Lingfeng to see the plum blossoms, but Lu Ruorong said that there would definitely be a lot of people going to Lingfeng today, and the snow scenery there would probably be ruined. It would be better to go to other places to see the snow and appreciate the plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms in the botanical garden are also very nice. She suggested going there to appreciate the plum blossoms and watch the snow.
Chen Zihan naturally agreed.
The two of them agreed to visit the botanical garden in the afternoon.
To Chen Zihan's surprise, when he took a taxi to the botanical garden, he saw Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong waiting for him there.
Seeing Chen Zihan coming, Li Siqing greeted him first.
"I'm here to be a light bulb, don't you mind?" Li Siqing greeted, then reached out and took Lu Ruorong's arm and said with a smile: "Actually, I just want to take a few photos. After taking the photos, I will leave tactfully and will not disturb your romance later. You two, don't dislike me."
"How could I possibly dislike it?" Chen Zihan smiled generously, "I'm so happy to have two beautiful women by my side."
Seeing Chen Zihan like this, Lu Ruorong, who was originally worried about being blamed, felt relieved.
"The plum blossoms in the botanical garden are in full bloom, and the scenery after the snow is beautiful. Can you take a few more photos of Siqing later?" She gave Chen Zihan a mischievous smile, "I'll treat you to dinner, and you're not allowed to object."
"How could I possibly have an objection!" Chen Zihan reached out and pinched Lu Ruorong's cheek. "When we have a snowball fight later, you two can just come together, so you don't get accused of bullying a weak woman. Two girls together, we're not weak women anymore, right?"
"You're still not satisfied!" Li Siqing rolled up a snowball and threw it at Chen Zihan. "If you're not satisfied, just say it directly. Don't try other ways to bully us."
Chen Zihan dodged swiftly, snatched the camera from Lu Ruorong, and shouted at the two girls to pose, saying that he was going to start taking photos crazily.
After taking a few photos of the two women, Chen Zihan sent a message to Yang Xiaodong, saying that he, Lu Ruorong, and Li Siqing were enjoying the snow at the Botanical Garden, and asked if he was interested in coming and taking Li Siqing away.
"Interested, interested!" Yang Xiaodong, who had slept in until almost noon and was playing in the snow at school, replied immediately after seeing Chen Zihan's message: "I'll be right over!"
When Chen Zihan returned to the dormitory to change his shoes and pants, they had just gotten up and were out for lunch, so they didn't meet him.
If Chen Zihan hadn't met Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong together, he wouldn't have bothered to contact them.
After receiving Yang Xiaodong's reply, Chen Zihan also relaxed and accompanied the two women to play in the botanical garden.
The three of them built a big snowman together.
Chen Zihan was in charge of stacking, and the two girls helped him and were responsible for the small details afterwards.
When Yang Xiaodong arrived at the botanical garden, the three of them had already built the snowman and took several photos around it.
Yang Xiaodong is also a smart man. He was afraid of making things worse, so after discovering the whereabouts of the three people, he did not show up immediately. Instead, he sent a message to Chen Zihan, asking him when to show up.
"When we go to appreciate the plum blossoms later, you pretend to be separated from your other companions and look for them everywhere, and just happen to run into us." Chen Zihan admired Yang Xiaodong's cleverness.
After receiving Chen Zihan’s reply, Yang Xiaodong immediately sent a message back, saying that he would seize the opportunity to show up and would definitely make the most of it.
In the botanical garden, the fragrance of plum blossoms can be smelled everywhere, and the wintersweets and plum blossoms are in full bloom.
The plum blossoms look even more delicate and beautiful against the backdrop of snow.
The red plum blossoms, in particular, give people a feeling of nobility and elegance under the cover of white snow.
While Chen Zihan was taking photos of the two, he smiled and asked them, "The plum blossoms are blooming in the snow. What poems did you two well-read seniors think of when you first saw the plum blossoms in the snow?"
"The plum blossoms are three points less white than the snow, but the snow is one point less fragrant than the plum blossoms." Li Siqing said briskly, "When I saw the white plum blossoms over there, this poem naturally came to mind."
Chen Zihan smiled and asked Lu Ruorong, "What about you?"
Lu Ruorong rolled his eyes at Chen Zihan and uttered two lines of poetry: "Do you know the high and elegant rhyme? It is the time when the ice and snow are piled up."
"Let the peach and plum trees compete for admiration, but I will not change my pure heart for the sake of prosperity." Chen Zihan looked at Lu Ruorong with a smile, "I think you should think of these two lines of poetry!"
Chen Zihan's words made Lu Ruorong's expression change drastically. She looked at Chen Zihan angrily and said, "Why don't you say this poem: 'Stay fixed on the edge of the world, longing for the beauty of nature. The cold plum blossom is the most hateful, forever like last year's flower.'"
"I've never really read Li Shangyin's 'Remembering the Plum Blossoms'!" Chen Zihan laughed and shook his head. "Most of Li Shangyin's poems are very sad, so I've never liked them. It's not as good as this line from a Tang Dynasty monk: 'Without enduring the bone-chilling cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so fragrant?'"
This earned Lu Ruorong another eye roll.
Because she was standing far away, Li Siqing didn't fully understand the conversation. Seeing Lu Ruorong's strange expression, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, I think this poem is quite good: When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs among the bushes."
Chen Zihan shook his head. "The plum blossom is the most beautiful of all flowers, blooming the earliest. It belongs to winter, and its blooming tells people that spring is coming. Wang Mian's poem, 'I live in a forest of ice and snow, not mingling with the fragrant dust of peach and plum trees,' actually captures this sentiment. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, the plum blossoms have already finished blooming, so where is the smile among the bushes?"
Chen Zihan’s words made Li Siqing stunned.
Lu Ruorong seemed to know what Chen Zihan wanted to express, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again.
"All I can see is white. Why are you rolling your eyes?" In front of Li Siqing, Chen Zihan pinched Lu Ruorong's cheek again. "If you're dissatisfied, just tell me! How about we play Flying Flowers again today, using plum blossoms as the guide? The loser can promise the winner a favor. Anything? It's fine. How do you do it?"
