However, two days later, another heavy snowfall fell in the capital city, covered in plain silver, it was a vast expanse of white at a glance, with only a few black spots of people walking around in it.

The winter hunt arrived as scheduled, and this was the first time Su Mu officially participated in such a grand event as Marquis Anding. During breakfast, Qin Anhe looked at Su Mu with satisfaction while eating clear porridge.

It seems that after following Liu Xiaoran, Su Mu has become more lively, not only has a more gentle temper, but also smiles a lot more than before.As a mother, it is a joyful thing to see that the child is no longer trapped in the past.

Thinking about it, Liu Xiaoran should have benefited Su Mu a lot, so it's time to find a chance to invite someone to come to the house to have a meal to express her gratitude.

"Mother, I'm leaving then?" Su Mu shook his cloak and waved to Qin Anhe, "It's cold outside, you go in first."

Liu Xiaoran was already waiting outside the door. The two of them had already discussed before, and they would go together in a carriage.

Although the winter hunting site is on the edge of Capital City, it will take a day or two to go back and forth, and the winter hunting will last for three days. Calculated in this way, when we come back, it will be time for the Chinese New Year.

Qin Anhe nodded, and smiled at Liu Xiaoran: "Take care of each other, and you must take care of yourself."

Liu Xiaoran immediately returned the salute respectfully: "Madam, please rest assured."

Mo Shu also saluted Qin Anhe, then jumped into the carriage, and sat with the coachman. Liu Xiaoran didn't have the habit of bringing attendants, so the few people sat comfortably.When the carriage finally squeaked and started to set off, Su Mu lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at Qin Anhe again. After turning a corner, she could no longer be seen, so he put down the curtain and yelled at Qin Anhe.tone.

"Huaxuetian is the coldest, Yan Xuan, you are dressed so thinly, aren't you cold?" Su Mu rubbed his hands, comparing himself wearing only ordinary clothes with that wrapped up in a ball, he doubted that he and Liu Xiaoran were the sameDo not live in one season.

As soon as Liu Xiaoran shook his head, Su Mu had already verified his thoughts with practice. He reached out to touch the back of Liu Xiaoran's hand, and as expected, he was shivered by the temperature and shrank back.

"My hands that have been hanging outside for so long are hotter than yours, so why isn't this cold?" He said in a rambling manner, and he knew that some of his classmates advocated "demeanor over temperature" among his classmates.He is very incomprehensible to a person who is afraid of the cold.

In the winter, shouldn't you wrap it into a dumpling to be comfortable?

"Here, the clothes inside me are much thicker than yours. Don't say that you can resist the cold by practicing martial arts. Mo Shu remembers wearing a cloak, soI will lend you this cloak!"The fur-edged cloak was untied and covered Liu Xiaoran, "Hey, don't be polite to me, there are conditions."

Liu Xiaoran stopped her plan to tear it off, but was aroused by her interest: "Huh?"

"Five taels of silver for an hour." Su Mu stretched out his palm with a serious look, "I will calculate it with you carefully when I go back."

Before he could say this, the curtains on the window were blown open a little, and as soon as the cold wind came in, he sneezed very disappointingly.

"Don't move, let me think about it." He pressed Liu Xiaoran's hand that was about to return the cloak to him in the next moment. This thing was just given to someone else, and it would be embarrassing to take it back.

Su Mu's head turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Give me a seat? Liu Shaoqing?" He discussed, looked at Liu Xiaoran, squeezed to Liu Xiaoran's side under the latter's unclear gaze, then lifted a corner of the cloak, and got in.

The cloak was like a thin blanket big enough and warm enough to cover two people.

Liu Xiaoran hardly had time to react, Su Mu shrank back in the cloak very contentedly, sighed and then expressed her approval for her witty little brain: "Well, then I'll accept half of it from you."

Looking at the other party's smiling face, Liu Xiaoran only felt that the chill seemed to have been dispelled in an instant, and she couldn't help but also smiled, and replied very generously: "You still count five taels."

Su Mu smiled even more happily. Although it was just a casual joke, it always makes people feel very good when someone picks it up seriously.

The journey was not short. After eating dry food at noon, Su Mu's willpower and sleepiness were finally defeated after a long struggle, and he fell asleep in a daze. The next time he opened his eyes,, but don't know how long have been sleeping on Liu Xiaoran's body.

"No, the smell on your body is really... really..."

He yawned, shook his head and said, "It's so sleepy."

"Why do you say that?"

"Didn't you notice that this smell is faint, but it can always make people feel at ease. Once the heart is put down, wouldn't it be easy to fall asleep?" Su Mu leaned forward and opened the curtain to look at the sky.Only then did I realize that it was already night, and the surrounding scenery was no longer the bustling capital city, but a suburb dotted with one or two small houses occasionally, and the outline of the rolling hills could be vaguely seen in the night.

It is true that Bai Zhi smoked sandalwood for her peace of mind. In the past, there were so many affairs that she could hardly sleep at night. Only sandalwood could relieve her a little, so she fell into this habit.

"Then if you are still sleepy, just sleep for a while, and you should be there in a few hours."

"Go on at night?" Su Mu was a little puzzled. Although he ate dry food on the way, for the driver and Mo Shu who were driving outside, it was really tiring to drive all night.

"There is no suitable place to stay here, it's better to go there and rest." Liu Xiaoran explained, "There will be an inn specially prepared for this winter hunting."

Su Mu nodded, then opened the curtain, and retreated into the carriage after Mo Shu repeatedly stated that he was really not tired, hungry, or cold. He was now awake, sitting in theAfter staring blankly for a while, he turned his gaze to Liu Xiaoran again.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't you tired?" He said persuasively.

Before Liu Xiaoran answered, Su Mu patted himself on the shoulder generously: "Let you lean back!"

Su Mu, who had the experience of being crushed and numb his shoulders, knew that the reason why he slept so peacefully all the way just now was probably because Liu Xiaoran didn't move his shoulders all the way.It's time for people to rest.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoran seemed to be hesitating, he squeezed towards the other party again, and continued to persuade: "It's still a long time, you've been keeping your eyes shut for so long, you'll get tired after a while, there's nothing you need to do here, it's rare to haveYou still have to make good use of the days you can rest, huh?"

Seeing that the other party seemed like she would not give up until she rested, Liu Xiaoran could only accept this kindness, but when it came time to find a comfortable position to lean against, her heart inevitably beat faster.

The wind feathers on the cloak brushed half of his face, and his face was almost buried in the cloak.

Su Mu didn't like to use incense, and she didn't have any sachets on her body, so the cloak was only filled with the sandalwood fragrance from her body, and after covering it for a long time, it became so strong that at first Liu Xiaoran just wanted to close her eyes and rest, but in the endHe even involuntarily relaxed himself completely, and fell asleep on Su Mu's shoulder.

Feeling the sudden weight on his shoulders, Su Mu knew that Liu Xiaoran had really let go of his mind completely, and that his left and right hands had nothing to do, so he turned his head and carefully looked at Liu Xiaoran's sleeping face.

Even when Liu Xiaoran fell asleep, her brows were not fully opened. It seemed that she was involved in countless affairs in her dreams. Her slightly pursed lips made him look more serious. Su Mu looked at it for a while, and finally stretched out tentatively.He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, and then stopped after rubbing away the slightly frowning brows.

"That's right. Sleeping is a rare and happy event in life. You can't be so tense." He said to himself, and then appreciated his achievements with satisfaction.

Liu Xiaoran's appearance is already good-looking, if he is not too serious, at this age, it should be the time when a matchmaker has stepped on the threshold, and she should not be married by now.

He had thought about this question before, he even thought about what kind of girl Liu Xiaoran might like, and met many girls of all kinds along the way, but Liu Xiaoran never seemed to show a preference for anyone, and according to Lu Lingjue,Liu Xiaoran seemed to be an expert who sealed her heart and locked her love, and she had never seen anyone who could catch her eyes.

Su Mu thought wildly, and when he came to his senses, he had ruled out all kinds of girls, but for some reason, after getting this answer, he was actually relieved.

What's going on, Liu Xiaoran doesn't have a girl she likes, why should she breathe a sigh of relief?

Su Mu reflected on his somewhat abnormal thoughts, and after thinking hard for a long time, he came to a conclusion.

It should be because I don't have a family yet, so it seems good to have someone to accompany me to be single.

Although this reason seems to be full of mistakes and omissions, he deliberately avoided to delve into it. He always has a vague intuition that if he digs deeper, the answer he gets may subvert his current life.

Let's wait until all the dust settles to look into it.

The carriage was bumpy, but because of the superb skills of the driver, it immediately calmed down again. Su Mu's heart seemed to calm down again in an instant, and he forcibly pulled his thoughts back to the upcoming winter hunting.

I don't know if my simple plan can go ahead as I wish, if it can...

He looked out the door, and Mo Shu should be sitting in front of him, opening the way for them.

Before the New Year, can you give Mo Shu an explanation?

The long night is not yet clear, but can I see that piece of sky light?

The carriage seemed to have run over some rock, and the part of Liu Xiaoran's body that was leaning on her also slipped down in an instant, and Su Mu subconsciously stretched out his hand to hug him tighter.

The cloak also slid down a little, and Su Mu stretched out his hand to pull it up a little. At that moment, he suddenly had an impulse from the bottom of his heart. Before his mind gave the order, he had already put the other hand on Liu Xiaoran.His arms wrapped the whole person in the cloak, and also wrapped him in his arms.

He is actually afraid.

No one will turn a blind eye to threats from superiors, but some things always need to be done.
