Chapter 98: First Snow in Cloud City

Chapter 98: First Snow in Cloud City

December 2012, 12, the 31th day of the th lunar month, Monday.

It is also Ye Zhenzhen’s birthday.

Because of the opening of the new store, Ye Zhenzhen had not had a day off for many days. Taking advantage of the fact that she was not busy on Monday, she rested at home and caught up on some sleep.

The phone rang, and in the dark bedroom, only the faint light from the phone was heard.

She closed her eyes and fumbled on the bedside table. After finding the phone, she swiped the screen by feel to answer the call.

I'm really lazy and don't want to open my eyes.

Wen Baijing's voice was a little trembling, "Zhenzhen, are you awake?"

Hearing his voice, Ye Zhenzhen pulled off the blindfold and suddenly opened her eyes. All her sleepiness disappeared instantly and she sat up from the quilt.

Her throat was a little dry when she just woke up. She cleared her throat and replied in surprise: "I'm awake! Of course I'm awake..."

Wen Baijing kindly reminded: "The weather forecast says it will rain soon. Have you collected the clothes hanging on the balcony?"

Ye Zhenzhen lifted the quilt, stood up, put on her furry slippers, and gently combed her hair with her fingers, "Really?"

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked towards the balcony while talking.

"Aren't you busy now?"

There was no wind that day. There was no sound on the other end of the phone. All I could hear was his breathing.

When you push open the glass door between the balcony and the living room, what comes into view is the falling snow.

There are many jade pendants in Yuncheng that are rarely seen.

She held the phone in her left hand and couldn't help but open her right palm to catch the light and floating snowflakes.

In less than a few seconds, the snowflakes melted in my palms.

Ye Zhenzhen slightly raised her head, and the green girl was crushing the white clouds to create a snowy scene of flying jade.

Feeling her neck tingling, she straightened her head and raised her hand to pinch the back of her neck.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a man standing in the snow - he was wearing a black cashmere coat, holding a phone in one hand and a bunch of pink snowflakes in the other.

That was the person she was looking forward to.

Wen Baijing's ears and nose were red from the cold. He remained motionless and looked up at Ye Zhenzhen.

The posture and expression were almost pious.

The snow fluttered down in thousands and thousands. When their eyes met, the snowflakes seemed to be frozen in the air.

Ye Zhenzhen almost rushed out of the house at the speed of an arrow. The elevator took a long time to get from the third floor to the first floor, and the time was so long that it seemed like she was sneaking out of work.

She was wearing an off-white homewear suit and ran from the elevator to Wen Baijing.

Wen Baijing saw her running towards him from afar and opened his arms out of habit.

Ye Zhenzhen ran out of breath, threw herself into Wen Baijing's arms with a beaming face, and trembled with excitement, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until tomorrow?"

The chill on Wen Baijing's body suddenly melted away. He didn't say why he came back early, but only whispered in her ear: "Did you miss me?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded continuously in his arms, with the dry chill and delicate floral scent in her nostrils.

She held Wen Baijing's face and quickly reached out to cover his ears.

Ye Zhenzhen asked gently: "Why are you standing in the snow and not going upstairs? What if you catch a cold?"

"It just started snowing, less than ten minutes ago." Wen Baijing smiled tenderly and lowered his head to rest his hand on her forehead. "It rarely snows in Yuncheng, but it just happened to snow this year. I guess you would really like to see it, so I waited for you here."

The water waves in Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were brighter than the white snow, and her lips trembled as she said, "Well, I really want to see it. I want you to be by my side for every snow scene in Yuncheng in the future."

Wen Baijing looked at her tenderly, as if responding to her, or as if promising her, "Okay, let's wait for the snow in Yuncheng together and see the snow scene together."

The falling snowflakes landed on their hair. In a flash, it seemed like half a century had passed.

At this moment, God has blessed them with a chance to grow old together.

She didn't know why, but standing in the snow hugging each other always reminded Ye Zhenzhen of vows like "until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, the earth ends" or something like that.

Every year, my hometown has about ten centimeters of snow, which I find normal after seeing so many times. But after leaving my hometown, any little thing related to my hometown in a foreign land makes me particularly happy.

That was her homesickness after traveling thousands of miles.

They returned home hugging each other, and as soon as they closed the door, they kissed each other passionately.

As the old saying goes - a short absence is better than a new marriage.

This is absolutely true.

The two kissed until their breaths intertwined, and they retreated all the way to the soft big bed in the bedroom, their breaths already mixed.

Wen Baijing stood up, reached out to loosen the tie around his neck, raised his chin slightly and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt.

Ye Zhenzhen's hand slipped onto Wen Baijing's belt, and she couldn't untie it in a hurry.

Wen Baijing teased her intentionally: "So anxious? I can do it myself..."

Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head in embarrassment. This was too unreserved and she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Wen Baijing had just unbuckled his belt and hadn't had time to do anything.

The doorbell rang at a very inopportune time. The two people in the room looked at each other, their limbs frozen in place for a moment.

There was no response when I knocked on the door.

Soon Ye Zhenzhen's phone rang, and she got up to pick up the phone.

Ye Mao was on the other end of the phone, urging loudly: "Sister, open the door!"

The voice sounded very anxious, as if he was unwilling to wait even a moment.

Wen Baijing, who was standing by, also heard it, and hurriedly picked up his clothes and put them on.

"...Wait a moment......."

Ye Zhenzhen was so excited that she completely forgot about her agreement with Ye Mao. She only remembered that her younger brother and sister were coming to celebrate her birthday.

She slapped her head in annoyance, put down the phone, grabbed her home clothes as quickly as possible, and hurriedly put them on her head.

As they put on their clothes, the two looked at each other's embarrassed and funny appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Wait a minute," Wen Baijing stopped Ye Zhenzhen who was about to open the door and reminded her kindly, "Your shirt is on backwards."

Wen Baijing smiled meaningfully, completely forgetting how anxious he was a second ago.

"How dare you laugh at me!" Ye Zhenzhen wanted to reach out and hit him, but she was in a hurry to change her clothes and had no hands free.

I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, and was more anxious than an ant on hot pan.

Wen Baijing moved closer to Ye Zhenzhen and said with a wicked smile, "My brother-in-law is really a talent. He knows how to choose the time."

Ye Zhenzhen glared at Wen Baijing in feigned anger, raised her hand to tie up her hair, and walked out of the bedroom.

Wen Baijing followed behind Ye Zhenzhen and patted her on the back when she was not paying attention.

"you..."

Ye Zhenzhen blushed with shame and reached out to hit Wen Baijing.

The two of them were playing and joking as they walked through the living room one after the other to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Ye Mao squeezed in with a pile of food, sweating profusely. Without even raising his head, he complained, "Ye Zhenzhen, what are you doing? Why haven't you opened the door for so long?"

Wang You followed behind Ye Mao, cleared his throat deliberately, and gave Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen an awkward but polite smile.

"Sister, brother-in-law..." Wang You spoke in a loud voice, as if he was giving a deliberate reminder.

Ye Mao raised his head upon hearing this, and saw Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen standing awkwardly by the door. He seemed to come to his senses and immediately understood why Ye Zhenzhen did not open the door immediately.

Ye Zhenzhen was embarrassed and asked hesitantly, "Who is your brother-in-law?"

Wang You smiled knowingly but didn't have time to speak.

Wen Baijing patted Ye Zhenzhen's head and asked calmly, "Who do you want to be their brother-in-law?"

"Come in quickly!"

Wen Baijing calmly welcomed the guests into the house, seeming more like the host than Ye Zhenzhen.

He acted so familiar with them as if they were his younger brothers and sisters, and Ye Zhenzhen was an outsider.

A scene of brotherly love and respect.
