C93 (1/2)
Looking at the series of small footprints on her back, Sun Jinzi did not want to go back anymore. It left an interesting picture as she stepped on the flat ground.
”Are you cold?”
Hearing the voice behind him, Sun Jinzi turned around to see the person behind him.
”Why are you here?”
Jin Chupei did not reply, he only held her hand in his. Sun Jinzi also only paused for a short moment before allowing him to hold his hand.
He already knew that her hand would be cold, but he never thought it would be this cold. He couldn't help but frown. ”It's so cold, why is it still in the snow?”
Other than the matter of Jin Chuao, Sun Jinzi still felt very happy in his heart. Now, although Jin Chupei had criticized him, Sun Jinzi's heart felt warm, and no matter how hard she tried, she kept both her hands in her palms.
”What are you laughing at? ”You're still smiling even though you're so cold.”
Sun Jinzi could not hold herself back today. In the past, she did not know how to cherish things, but now, she felt that what Jin Chupei had brought her were all warm memories.
”It's nothing, I'm just happy.”
Such a cold day, seeing her playing by herself in the snow, Jin Chupei could tell that she was very happy. However, he didn't know why she was so happy.
If he had to say something, Jin Chupei could only guess what Jin Chuao had said. Other than a few bright smiles, nothing else could be seen from Sun Jinzi's eyes.
”Brother, what are you standing here for?”
Jin Chupei frowned slightly, he did not even notice that someone had come from the backyard, it seemed like he had been too engrossed in what he had seen today.
Sun Jinzi immediately retracted her hand and looked towards the corridor. It should be because she had been outside for too long, so Grandma told her cousin to come and find her.
Sure enough, after a while, Sun Jinzi saw Qian Linxi and Qian Linchuan appear from the corridor. Sun Jinzi looked at the two of them with an awkward expression, and wanted to turn around to introduce them, but only then did she realise that Jin Chupei had disappeared.
”Cousin sister Zi Er, why did you come out for so long?”
Qian Linxi looked at the scars Sun Jinzi had stepped on the snowy ground before shifting his gaze back to her face. Her face was practically as white as snow, and with the addition of her white cape, it made her seem even more delicate.
Even she couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking that her brother probably didn't want to disturb her, so he stayed here for so long.
”It's nothing. I just feel like I haven't seen this much snow in a long time, that's why I played a bit longer.”
Her gaze landed on Qian Linchuan's face. Seeing that his expression was calm and she did not intend to expose, Sun Jinzi was still extremely grateful.
Sensing Sun Jinzi's gaze, Qian Linchuan also recovered from the footprint that was obviously a lot larger behind her, and when it landed on Sun Jinzi's face, it also softened a bit.
Qian Linchuan had predicted that would arrive even earlier than he did. He had seen this from the moment she had stepped into the snow, he was originally afraid that she would be cold and wanted to organize this affair.
But amidst the swirling snowflakes, Qian Linchuan only felt that she was like a fairy that caused people to be unable to shift their eyes away. Only when he noticed that something was wrong did he realize that there was actually another person in the courtyard.
Thus, what Jin Chupei did not know was that it was not that he did not notice the person who had arrived, but that there was already someone at that place before he had arrived.
”There are still people in antechamber. I don't want to go in.
Qian Linxi's eyes flashed, but he still snorted coldly and turned to leave. Yesterday, she had to go back to the Qizhou one or two at a time, but Sun Jinzi just had to be with the Sixth Prince at the same time.
Originally, she thought that Sun Jinzi would stand by her side, but she also stood by her grandmother's side.
After Qian Linxi turned around and left, Sun Jinzi also helplessly looked at Qian Linchuan.
”Cousin sister Zi Er, it's cold in the snow, let's go back.”
Sun Jinzi nodded, she knew that they weren't like how they were when they were young, they wouldn't be like when they were young, and would be happy for a few days just because of a snowstorm.
He held Sun Jinzi's hand and pulled her to the veranda. Qian Linchuan also really wanted to warm her hands, but he still released her hand after she had steadied herself.
Sun Jinzi did not notice Qian Linchuan's expression, she only looked at the figure in front of him and wondered if his straightforward words yesterday had caused Qian Linxi to misunderstand. Maybe she should let herself go through it before he knew what was right and what wasn't. However, if he had really experienced it, then it would be too late.
Because they were close relatives, Sun Jinzi didn't dare to gamble on these things. Furthermore, this matter had also been stopped by her grandmother. Logically speaking, Xi Er's cousin should not hate him anymore. However, she just had to act like this today.
”You don't have to worry about that. This girl is just like that. Just think it through in a few days.”
He looked at Qian Linchuan with some shock, and seeing that he was also looking at Qian Linxi's back, Sun Jinzi could only guess that Qian Linchuan was just as worried about Qian Linxi as he was about his.
”I also think that leaving this place is something that many people can slowly forget.”
”You too?”
”What?”
Sun Jinzi was walking in front, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She vaguely heard Qian Linchuan say something, but she did not hear him clearly. When he turned back to ask, he saw that Qian Linchuan's face was calm as usual.
”What's wrong?”
