Xu Jiaojiao nodded and looked out of the window. It was already dark. She turned to the butler and asked, “Is Qi Shenbai not back yet?”
It was already past nine o’clock.
“Work gets busy at the company at the end of the year. He should be back soon, though,” the butler replied.
“Okay,” Xu Jiaojiao said softly.
At the thought that Qi Shenbai would be back soon, her heart was filled with anticipation and uncontrollable joy.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Qi Shenbai walked in. There were a few snowflakes on his black coat and hair.
When Xu Jiaojiao saw Qi Shenbai return, she happily ran over to welcome him.
“You’re back!”
When Qi Shenbai heard Xu Jiaojiao’s voice, his fatigue from the entire day was swept clean away.
“Why are you so excited?”
“It’s snowing outside, and now you’re back,” Xu Jiaojiao chirped.
Qi Shenbai’s heart was warmed to the brim, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
She was so simple and straightforward that he could not resist at all.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled gently and looked at the snow on his head. She stood on her tiptoes and prepared to brush it away.
Qi Shenbai lowered his head cooperatively and allowed Xu Jiaojiao to brush the snow off his head. His gaze was as gentle as the warm sun in March. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
After he bent down, Xu Jiaojiao did not have to tiptoe to brush off the snow on his head.
Xu Jiaojiao looked out of the window. It was snowing heavily now.
“If this goes on for the night, we can build a snowman tomorrow, right?”
Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao gently and knew what she was thinking. He teased, “You’re still thinking about building a snowman? If the snow continues, the city’s traffic and the sanitation workers will be busy.”
Xu Jiaojiao pouted and wanted to retort, but what Qi Shenbai said was the truth. In the end, she could not say anything.
Qi Shenbai’s words were as… irrefutable as ever.
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao’s little face scrunch up, Qi Shenbai reached out and pinched her face. “Are you mad at me?”
Not at all.” Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and thought about it carefully. Qi Shenbai’s words did make sense.
“You’re right. I’ve thought about it. Why don’t 1 volunteer tomorrow to sweep the snow and come back tomorrow night to build a snowman?”
Without waiting for Qi Shenbai’s reply, Xu Jiaojiao jogged upstairs, preparing to sweep the snow tomorrow.
Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao’s back as she left. He suddenly smiled and silently followed behind her.
