On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is celebrated. Zhuque Street in the capital is filled with joy, with all kinds of lanterns, stalls everywhere, people walking around, and laughter and happiness everywhere.
"Didn't you even go to the Shen family this year?" Hua Yueli stood in front of the French windows, holding a cup of Wuyan black tea, looking at the people outside having a snowball fight.
Gu Nanyan was sitting in a comfortable recliner, with black tea and snacks on a small wooden table.
"Well, it's inconvenient for me. An'an went back alone this year." Gu Nan'an is pregnant with twins and her due date is approaching. If she's not careful, there's a high chance of losing all three of them.
The Shen family members all knew that Gu Nanyan was pregnant, so naturally they didn't say anything.
Wei Shengxi also stayed inside, sitting in a comfortable recliner.
As Shen Beian said, when it comes to enjoying life, how can those playboys in the capital compare to these young masters who stand at the top of the power pyramid of the capital's aristocratic families?
"Zixi, where did you spend the New Year this year? You didn't spend it alone at Yueting Nanshe, did you?" Hua Yueli meant it as a joke.
Yu Ci spent the New Year with Gu Nanjin at the Gu family home. After this trip, the two are just one step away from getting their marriage certificate and holding a wedding.
Wei Shengxi naturally could not return to the Wei Sheng family.
Her slender, pale hand rested on the Three Talents Cup, her raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Well, Ziqian and Zimo both invited me to spend the New Year with them, but after thinking about it, I decided to decline. Spending the Spring Festival alone is quite pleasant without those people chattering in my ear."
Because Wei Shengxi was determined to be no older than thirty, the older generation of the Wei family desperately tried to stuff people into his room, asking for nothing more than to leave behind a trace of his bloodline.
They even went so far as to tell him to leave his sperm, and that he wouldn't have to worry about the rest.
If Wei Shengxi hadn't taken such a firm stance on this matter, he probably would have had countless children.
"That's true. If you didn't know better, people would think you were going to die tomorrow with that bunch of people pressuring you to get married." Hua Yueli had heard that the great families in the capital still cared a lot about the continuation of their bloodlines.
Gu Nanyan took a sip of tea. "Wei Sheng family, what do you plan to do?"
Under Ziya Jingmo's care, Wei Shengxi's health has almost recovered.
How could a cell repairer be so useless?
Wei Shengxi looked out the window at the group of people playing around, and his slightly pale lips curled up. "I'm probably like my aunt now, not even knowing if my name is still on the family tree. Although my father only has me as his son, he still has his cousins. Besides, the Wei Sheng family has many sons and grandsons, and there are other young masters. In short, there's no need for me."
The Wei family has been able to thrive in the capital for over a hundred years, and since it is not a single lineage passed down through generations, it naturally has many descendants.
"As for me, as long as they don't come after me, I naturally won't provoke them." Wei Shengxi's voice was as gentle as a reed, but his words were as firm as a rock.
"Like my aunt, opening a small shop in the capital or traveling around the beautiful landscapes would be a wonderful thing."
"I must go and see the desolate north where the lone smoke rises straight and the setting sun sinks round over the long river; I must go and see the Changbai Mountains where white snow stretches across a thousand peaks and blue sky pours down two streams; I must go and see the Shaanxi scenery where the forests are clear after the rain and the city is filled with the chill of dusk; I must go and see the Jiangnan region where spring waters are bluer than the sky and painted boats sleep in the rain."
The fox's eyes gazed outwards, as if trying to see a wider, more boundless world through the snowy landscape.
"Yes, we will. We'll go together then." Hua Yueli smiled and looked outside as well. "We must experience the magnificent landscape of our motherland firsthand and set foot on it all!"
“Of course, we will appreciate the beauty of the vast landscape together.” Gu Nanyan put down his teacup, his phoenix eyes also fixed on the scenery outside.
Biluo Xiaozhu boasts both natural scenery and exquisitely crafted man-made landscapes.
Wei Shengxi's gaze shifted to Gu Nanyan without anyone noticing for a moment.
Gu Nanyan suddenly stood up, grabbed a cloak and put it on, opened the door, and stepped out as the wind and snow threatened to hit.
"Hey? Yan Yan, why are you out here?" Shen Bei'an was having a great time when he suddenly saw a figure in the color of a mountain mist, like an ink painting, walking towards him. He recognized her at a glance as his beloved.
"Pfft, Little Ye!" In that brief moment of distraction, Ye Lin struck him squarely.
Ye Lin, who was over there, made a face. "We're having a snowball fight, Bei Bei, who can you blame for being distracted!" But when she saw the figure in the mountain mist, she immediately cowered and hid behind her husband.
Holy shit!
When did the eldest son appear?!
Gu Nanyan came out, and Wei Shengxu and Hua Yueli also came out wearing cloaks, with Hua Yueli holding a cloak in her hand.
"What's wrong? You see we're having so much fun, do you want to join in too?" Fu Muqian twisted his wrist, not wearing a cloak, but his whole body was burning hot.
Hua Yueli walked straight to Zhou Zhi's side, brushed the snow off him, and draped the cloak over him. "Boss Zhou, who hit you the hardest just now? I'll get revenge for you."
"You arrogant brat, is it really necessary?" Ji Luqi, who had been beating Boss Zhou the most fiercely, just wanted to say "Fuck you" at this moment.
Hua Yueli smiled at her, "As for it."
When Fu Muqian saw Wei Shengxi come out, he quickly went to greet her, "Why did you come out too?"
"Let's come out and see the snow." Wei Shengxi said softly.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, his silver hair stood out like a clear spring, evoking a sense of tranquility and coolness. Yet, his slightly upturned fox-like eyes stirred ripples within that spring.
If we are together in the snow one day, then we can be considered to have grown old together in this life.
“What’s so interesting about snow? We’ve seen plenty of it in Jingning Mountain,” Fu Muqian frowned. “Even though Ice Face has taken good care of your health, you can’t let yourself get chilled.”
"It's okay to come out for a while." Wei Shengxi knew that his friends were usually overly cautious because of his health.
Shen Bei'an also put on a silver-white cloak at this moment.
As snowflakes danced and fell, he wore a silver-white cloak, his face was fair, and his cheeks were flushed with a touch of rosy blush, like a cluster of plum blossoms amidst the snow. His clothes fluttered, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted from his body. He was like a celestial being descended to earth, pure and refined, with unparalleled elegance.
"I came out because I saw you were having fun." Gu Nanyan handed the hand warmer in his hand to Shen Bei'an.
Shen Bei'an shook his head, "Yan Yan, you can keep it. I'm not cold." His peach blossom eyes were shining.
Playing in the snow in this world is so much fun!
“It’s almost noon. I asked Aunt Wang to prepare a pot. We can continue playing after we’ve used it and taken a nap, okay?” Gu Nanyan said softly.
On the morning of the fifteenth, more than a dozen people came to Biluo Xiaozhu. They even ate glutinous rice balls for breakfast at Biluo Xiaozhu. They had told Gu Nanyan what kind of filling they wanted to eat the night before.
We chatted for a while inside the small building, and when we saw that the snow outside had lessened a bit, we suggested going out for a snowball fight, which we played until noon.
"Huh? It's so late?" Shen Beian felt like he hadn't been playing for very long.
"Okay, let's go." Gu Nanyan took Shen Bei'an's hand and walked inside.
The others also began to walk inside.

To reiterate: Shen Beibei is the most beautiful, no arguments allowed!!!
