Lin Shen was right; Xia Wenxi's period arrived as scheduled the next day, but this time she wasn't upset or anxious.
On the contrary, thinking about what happened yesterday makes me blush and my heart race.
December arrived in the blink of an eye. Now, Xia Wenxi spends almost all her time studying from the moment she opens her eyes until she closes them, except when she eats or goes to the toilet. She hasn't seen Lin Shen for more than half a month.
Despite her studies, Ke Shurong felt sorry for her working so hard, so she asked her aunt to cook various nourishing dishes for her. After a while, she became noticeably plumper, and her complexion became rosy.
Every time Xia Wensheng saw her, she would tease her, "Mom is really good at raising pigs. Look how well you've raised them, all plump and healthy."
Every time he said that, he would naturally get punished by Ke Shurong.
"You should eat more and gain weight in winter, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the cold weather. If you get sick, it will be a hassle. What's wrong with being chubby? It's much more pleasing to the eye than your skinny stick."
Today's meal was the same. While serving food to her daughter, Ke Shurong complained that Xia Wensheng was too thin.
Xia Wensheng was furious but dared not speak out, while Xia Hengyuan and his daughter Xia Wenxi ate happily.
Xia Wenxi thought to herself, "So what if I'm fat? I can lose weight after the exams."
“Xiao Bao, it’s already December. Your dad and I have discussed it and we’re planning to go to the temple for half a month to get you a talisman to bless you with good luck in your exams.”
"Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad."
Xia Wenxi now holds metaphysics in great awe, after all, she herself is the best proof.
"No need to thank me, you're being so polite with your parents."
Ke Shurong smiled kindly. She had seen her daughter's efforts, but they couldn't help with her studies. They could only lend a hand in other areas.
This time, even Xia Wensheng, who always loved to disagree, didn't say anything. He only told his parents to take care of themselves, as the weather was getting colder now, and it was even colder on the mountain.
"Your dad and I go shopping and stroll around every day, and we go to bed early and get up early. We're much healthier than you two, so you don't need to worry about us."
Not only were the two physically strong, but they were also very energetic. The next day, Xia Wenxi had breakfast with them and then the two set off. The temple they were going to was not far away, located in the vicinity of Fan City, and it was said to be a very famous temple.
Coincidentally, it snowed in Ban City at noon on the day the two arrived.
Xia Wenxi made a video call to her parents. They had already arrived at their destination and settled in. They showed Xia Wenxi the snow in the mountains, which looked much bigger than in the city. The bamboo leaves behind the house were covered with a thick layer of white snow, unlike the thin layer in the city.
Knowing that her parents were settled and safe, Xia Wenxi felt relieved and continued to bury herself in her studies.
By the time I heard the ringtone and picked up my phone, several hours had passed.
Seeing the caller ID, Xia Wenxi smiled. Thinking that she hadn't had any fresh air all afternoon, she simply answered the phone while putting on her coat and walking to the bedroom balcony.
Wow—the snow is so heavy, Lin Shen.
I hadn't checked for several hours in the afternoon, and now the snow was falling heavily. Looking down from the balcony, the bushes in the yard were covered with a thick layer of snow, like fluffy cloud cakes.
"Yes, I saw it." Lin Shen chuckled softly and asked gently, "Have you had dinner?"
Not yet.
Xia Wenxi stretched out her left hand, trying to catch a few snowflakes, but immediately pulled it back because of the cold. Her pants weren't very warm, and she was afraid of catching a cold, so she quickly went inside, closed the balcony window, and sat in a rocking chair in front of the French windows to enjoy the snow scene.
"Want some spicy hot pot?"
Upon hearing the words "mala tang," Xia Wenxi's eyes lit up. She remembered that she had told Lin Shen a couple of days ago that on such a cold day, one should have a bowl of hot mala tang, the kind with a thick layer of sesame sauce!
"Yes! Shall we go out to eat?"
"No need. I'm about to get off work. You wait at home, and I'll bring it to you after I'm done shopping."
Xia Wenxi glanced at the snow outside the window and hesitated, "With such heavy snow, maybe we should just forget about it and eat it next time."
"It's okay, I'll drive slowly. Delivering spicy hot pot is indeed a reason, but the most important reason is that I want to see you."
After hearing Lin Shen say that, Xia Wenxi couldn't bear to stop him from coming, so she gently told him to drive carefully and that she would wait for him at home.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wenxi rushed downstairs to tell Aunt Li that she didn't need to cook dinner for her that night.
"Lin Shen will bring me food later."
Aunt Li smiled broadly, "Okay, okay, I'll tell everyone not to stay outside later, so as not to disturb you."
"No need, Auntie. I want to eat in the greenhouse later. It's warm there and I can see the snow."
Butler Zhou suddenly appeared again, saying that he had already sent people to clean up the flower room.
Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi could only give him a thumbs up. She had always suspected that Butler Zhou might be bound to some kind of "strongest butler" system.
An hour and a half later, Xia Wenxi, who was reciting her lessons, heard a horn and immediately rushed to the balcony.
It was indeed Lin Shen's car. He was carrying two or three bags and wearing a long black coat. As if he had eyes on the top of his head, he looked up and waved to her.
Seeing that he had been standing there for a while, and that his coat was covered in snowflakes, Xia Wenxi couldn't help but call out, "Come inside quickly!"
"Is it very cold outside?" Xia Wenxi brushed the snowflakes off his head.
"It's not cold."
After Lin Shen finished speaking, he reached out and grasped Xia Wenxi's hand, indicating that his hand was warm.
"Hehe, that's good. Let's go eat at the flower shop today."
The glass conservatory in the backyard maintains a constant temperature all year round. Because some of the delicate flowers inside will perish if the temperature is not right, that place has become the most comfortable spot in the house.
Moreover, the transparent glass doesn't prevent them from enjoying their meal while admiring the snow.
"You even brought milk tea!"
Xia Wenxi was excited at first, then sighed, "My weight is gone forever, and I don't know if I can ever get back to my original weight."
"As long as your weight is within a healthy range, it's fine. You're far from being fat right now, and winter is the time to store more fat."
Lin Shen offered his sincere words of comfort, which made Xia Wenxi feel embarrassed.
She opened the box of spicy hot pot with lots of sesame sauce and said with a smile, "Actually, I was just saying that. You want me to eat less? I can't do that."
“Yes, I know,” Lin Shen chuckled. “That’s why I also brought a matcha mille-feuille.”
"What? Where? I want to eat."
"I gave it to Butler Zhou when you came in. It's in the refrigerator for you to have as a midnight snack."
"Butler Zhou really can appear in any corner of the house!"
"Yes, but he told me he wouldn't come to the greenhouse."
"so what?"
"So, how about trying a sesame paste-flavored kiss?"
"don't want……"
"But the strawberry milk flavor is okay."
Outside, snow was falling heavily, but inside the greenhouse, it was warm and cozy.
