"You are drinking from my teacup." Xie Jing Xing reminded.
Shen Miao subconsciously looked down and was so embarrassed that she wanted to lift her feet and leave. She suddenly felt that it was her biggest mistake to let Xie Jing Xing enter the room tonight.
"Shy?" Xie Jing Xing seemed to like to see her embarrassed look and continued to get closer.
"It is not early anymore." Shen Miao said seriously, "You are still not leaving?"
Xie Jing Xing did not speak and stared at her for a while. His gaze was sharp and deep and ordinary people would not be able to withstand it. Shen Miao forced herself to look at him calmly. After a moment, Xie Jing Xing stood up and said, "Never mind. Since you are shy, I will not disturb you." He said it ambiguously which made one's imagination roam but he did not see Shen Miao's stiff face.
He walked to the window and Shen Miao followed suit. Xie Jing Xing opened the window and the cold wind swept in, making Shen Miao shiver.
"It is cold outside. No need to send me off." Xie Jing Xing said, "Many thanks for taking me in. The tea is very good and the snacks are not bad." His figure flashed and he was already in the courtyard outside the window.
Shen Miao walked over, intending to close the windows and doors. However, she saw that in the wind and snow, the handsome young man in purple robe suddenly thought of something and turned his head, smiling gently.
"Oh yes, you are also cute when you are shy."
Shen Miao slammed the window shut.
She should not be soft hearted! This person was too hateful!
After Shen Miao closed the window, she sat back on the bed in the room and looked at the oil lamp at the head of the bed. It was so weak that it was almost extinguished. However her eyes were unusually bright and sparkling, like the best quality pearls and gems, shining in the dark night.
She thought that if it was in her previous life, Xie Jing Xing's actions would be considered as offending her superiors and she could shout out 'presumptuous' and then get people to drag him out and behead him. But in this life, she was so amused that she could not do anything.
But why was it so awkward?
In the flickering light, the man lowered his head slightly. One could almost see each of his long eyelashes. His eyes were more mesmerizing than the moonlight. His lips were thin and slightly cold …
Shen Miao quivered and suddenly recovered to her senses before rubbing her forehead. Most likely it was because she was too tired these days that she was bewitched. With Xie Jing Xing's good looks, females would be attracted to him, just like the top hostess in a small brothel. She comforted herself in this way, but she couldn't calm her strange heartbeat. When she lay on the bed, she didn't realize that the corners of her lips had unknowingly curled up.
…
The winter in the Ding capital was exceptionally cold and the common people who lived at the foot of the Emperor, even if they were common people, would feel honoured and felt that they were different from the common people in the outer city and were particular about being superior. Not to mention the high officials and nobles. Therefore, whenever it was winter, people would wake up later. Other than the street vendors who had to wake up early to set up their stalls, ordinary people were willing to stay indoors and go out when it was warmer.
It snowed heavily the entire night last night and it was even colder outside. Luckily the snow stopped early in the morning, thus everyone was willing to go out. When it was slightly later, the number of people on the streets gradually increased.
After an entire night of snow at the Wan Li Lake, the surface of the lake had completely frozen into hard ice. Ordinary old men who were fishing were not willing to come over. Not for any other reason but with such hard ice, it was difficult to even dig a hole. It was better to wait for the weather to warm up before coming over.
Even though there were fewer old men fishing at the Wan Li Lake, there was a group of playful children. The surface of the lake was sparkling and the children loved to wear hard soled boots or find a piece of wood to chase and play on the surface of the ice. Most of these children who were playing were the children of the street vendors. Their mothers scolded them for dirtying their newly made jackets and were also afraid that the ice would suddenly break midway. But the children were at the age where they loved to play, so how would they listen to their mothers obediently? As usual, three to five of their little friends secretly took the pieces of wood to play at the Wan Li Lake.
