The first snowfall of winter came quietly in the silent night, but a moment later the whole city was covered with a layer of white gauze. The snow lasted until dawn.   

When Gu Ningyou woke up the next morning, she noticed the snowflakes fluttering outside the window at a glance. She ran to the window and looked out, only to see the trees and the roofs were white, like the world of ice and snow in a fantasy movie.  

She opened the window and tried to reach out to catch a snowflake, but she forgot that the temperature outside was far less than that of the air-conditioned house. The moment she opened the window, the oncoming cold wind slapped her cheeks and got into her clothes, so cold that she got goose bumps all over her body, and hurriedly closed the window again tightly.  

The sound of the slippers stepping on the ground awakened Pei Siyuan, who was still sleeping. He silently stared at the back of the girl by the window until he saw her pulling open the window and shivering, then he smiled, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.  

“Like the snow?”   

The man’s voice came from beside her ear, he put his head on her shoulder and rubbed the nape of her neck pamperingly. This was not the first time for him to do this. Gu Ningyou has long been accustomed to this, and did not tell him to let go of her.  

“Hmm…I haven’t seen snow for several years.” J City was located in the warm Jiangnan water town, and it rarely snowed in winter. In the two years she was in J City in her previous life, she hadn’t seen snow in winter.  

Gu Ningyou mentioned her previous life in her words. Although she didn’t mean it, she couldn’t help but make the atmosphere between the two people a little dull. They looked at the snowflakes outside the window and fell into silence at the same time.  

“If you like it.” Finally, Pei Siyuan opened his mouth first. He held Gu Ningyou’s hand in his palm and pressed it in his heart, showing the feelings between them in this way, “Every year in the future, I can accompany you like this to watch the snow together.”  

The girl in his arms struggled a bit, as if she wanted to leave his embrace, but also seemed to be resisting his approach. Pei Siyuan did not want to be beaten back again so soon, and used a heavier strength to confine her, holding down her hand unwilling to let go.  

“Yu.. Yuan…”  

Pei Siyuan let go of her when he heard her calling him like that. Gu Ningyou turned around in his arms and saw Pei Siyuan was looking at her with pursed lips, and his eyes were mixed with sadness and confusion. She guessed that he misunderstood her meaning, and explained in a soft voice: “Don’t think too much, I don’t want to settle old accounts with you… Those things are already in the past to me, I don’t care anymore.”  

“Really?”

In a relationship, the person who loves more is often the humbler, and this rule applied equally to Pei Siyuan.  

Though his face showed a tough appearance, Pei Siyuan has always been unconfident in his heart. He had been wishful thinking for a long time, and he used disgraceful means to enter her heart. Yesterday he couldn’t help but find her first, using the half-deception and half-acting spoiled way, he made her stay…  

“Really, before I came to you, I had already thought about it clearly… Even if the things that hurt me would be unforgettable for a while, they are not from your original intention, so I won’t blame you again… These words, I originally wanted to take the initiative to tell you, but I didn’t know you wanted to do some dirty things as soon as you met.” Thinking of what happened last night, Gu Ningyou glared at Pei Siyuan a little angrily, and her fair face also had a slight blush.  

Hearing Gu Ningyou’s explanation, Pei Siyuan’s tense body relaxed and smiled lightly: “Well, blame me, it’s all my fault.”  

Because of the huge height difference, the girl in front of him could only raise her head and look up at him, the snow outside the window had stopped, and the sun peeked out half of her body from behind the clouds. At this time, her palm-sized face was shrouded in golden sunlight. Due to the backlight, her hair scattered in the air became somewhat transparent, the whole person seemed to be gilded with a light layer of gold, making her look as beautiful and captivating as she came out of a manhua. [T/N: 漫画 (mànhuà)- comic; similar to Japanese manga and Korean manhwa]  

Pei Siyuan’s heart itched, and his mouth felt dry, he lifted Gu Ningyou’s body and let her sit on the edge of the window sill behind him. He leaned forward, propped one hand on the windowsill and held her face in one hand. He stared at her closely, but did not kiss her charming red lips.  

Because of Pei Siyuan’s approach, Gu Ningyou’s already hot blushing face became more and more red, the red cloud spread all the way to her ears, and even the small earlobe turned pink, and her long eyelashes trembled, like two butterflies about to fly away.  

Pei Siyuan must not know how attractive he was when he smiled. No matter how many times she had seen his smile, Gu Ningyou’s heart always beat faster and she was so flustered that she was at a loss.  

She didn’t know what to say, so she simply took a bold step, grabbed Pei Siyuan by the collar and pulled him towards her, leaned forward and touched his lips. She just wanted to give him a light kiss, but when their lips were about to separate, Pei Siyuan moved his powerful palm from the side of her face to the back of her head, passed through her hair, and pressed her to kiss back deeper.  

“Hmmm…”  

If her kiss was a shallow test, Pei Siyuan’s kiss was a powerful attack. He pried open the closed teeth, and his tongue nimbly reached into her mouth like a fish in water, licking through every corner of her mouth, and finally hooking her tongue back and forth.  

Gu Ningyou’s entire back was pressed against the window behind him, and her body began to soften, so she could only grip his collar tighter to slightly relieve her inner shyness and coyness. When Pei Siyuan released her, the tip of her tongue was numb, and a mist appeared in her eyes. She looked at the man in front of her in a daze and Pei Siyuan who caught her gaze, gently rubbed her lips with his fingertips. There was a deep light and serenity in his eyes: “Ning Ning, don’t look at me like that.”  

“Hmm?” Gu Ningyou was still immersed in the afterglow of the passionate kiss, unable to understand what Pei Siyuan meant.  

It was easy to make him lose his mind, this kind of charming, seductive, and sin-inducing gaze…  

“Do you have class today?” Pei Siyuan did not say the real thoughts in his heart out.  

Gu Ningyou thought for a while and then answered him: “No.”   

Near the end of the semester, many classes have already ended, and today happened to be a day without classes.  

“Go wash up, I’ve prepared a new set of toiletries for you. I’ll take you out for breakfast.”   

Gu Ningyou softly responded, “Okay.”  

How could she be so lovely and cute? Pei Siyuan thought to himself.  

He didn’t say anything else after all, the current atmosphere was too delicate, he was afraid that if he continued, he wouldn’t be able to resist doing something excessive to her again.

In the bathroom, when Gu Ningyou was washing, Pei Siyuan kept leaning on the door frame and watched her. When she finished washing up and was ready to pick up her comb, Pei Siyuan suddenly came over and grabbed her hand.  

“Ning Ning, let me comb your hair for you.”  

Gu Ningyou was a little surprised: “Do you know how?”

“No, I’ve never helped a girl comb her hair, but I want to comb it for you.” Pei Siyuan’s voice was low and hoarse, “Can I?”
