That night, because of the heavy snowfall, even after dark, it was much brighter than usual.
An Jing didn’t care whether it was bright outside or not, she just cuddled with her husband and fell asleep.
They both slept soundly through the night.
When An Jing woke up, Xiao Changyi hadn’t yet stirred.
An Jing didn’t disturb Xiao Changyi, instead, she contentedly stayed in his embrace, waiting for him to awaken.
She really liked the feeling of opening her eyes and seeing him first thing.
And he also loved to open his eyes and see her first thing.
Her husband really was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a high nose and thin lips. People say those with thin lips are heartless, but her husband wasn’t heartless at all. On the contrary, he was deeply affectionate towards her.
"What are you looking at?" were Xiao Changyi’s first words when he opened his eyes, clearly having caught An Jing watching him.
An Jing chuckled joyfully, "I’m looking at you. I just can’t get enough."
Xiao Changyi leaned down and kissed An Jing.
After they exchanged a kiss, Xiao Changyi said, "A lifetime won’t be enough, there’s also the next lifetime, and the lifetime after that, and the lifetime after that..."
"That’s natural," An Jing nodded with a beaming smile, "we did promise to be together in every life."
"Mhm." Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curved slightly in a smile, and after another kiss, he intended to throw off the covers to get up.
But An Jing stopped him, "Let’s sleep a little longer, it’s cold."
Xiao Changyi immediately wrapped them both tightly in the blanket, holding her close, and then, in a soft voice, asked, "Is it still cold?"
She was almost completely pressed against him, and the blankets wrapped them so snugly, it would be odd if she were cold.
An Jing smiled with narrowed eyes, "It’s not cold anymore~"
Although An Jing said she wasn’t cold, Xiao Changyi still tightened his arms around her a little more.
"Husband, I really want to just lie in bed with you all day long." In the middle of winter, it was really cozy lying in bed; and in the middle of winter, having her beloved warm her with his body, nesting in the arms of her beloved, she was not only warm but also incredibly happy and sweet.
Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything, but his cold eyes softened considerably.
"Husband, let’s make a snowman when we get up, shall we? Back in my world, whenever it snowed, everyone would go out and make snowmen, and some would even have snowball fights."
"It’s when you pile the snow up to look like a person, it’s really simple, but shoveling the snow can be a bit of a hassle."
Xiao Changyi had never played like that since he was young, nor had he seen anyone else do it around here, but if An Jing wanted to play, he naturally wouldn’t object. He nodded, "We’ll make one later."
After a pause, he added, "You teach me." He was actually a little worried he wouldn’t be able to make the kind of snowman she wanted.
Hearing the deeper meaning in his words, An Jing’s heart felt sweet as anything, and she assertively said, "We’ll make one together!"
An Jing and Xiao Changyi only started making a snowman in the courtyard with their shovels after they had breakfast.
The snow really had piled up a lot; the whole yard was covered in thick snow, enough for An Jing and Xiao Changyi to make many snowmen, but An Jing only planned to make one.
While explaining to Xiao Changyi how to make it, An Jing shoveled snow for the snowman, and Xiao Changyi followed her lead. Eventually, Xiao Changyi didn’t need An Jing to say anything, he could make one by himself.
But while Xiao Changyi was focused on making the snowman, An Jing put her shovel aside, rolled a small snowball in her hands, and threw it at Xiao Changyi. When he looked her way, she burst into laughter toward Xiao Changyi.
Xiao Changyi wasn’t annoyed and just stopped his work on the snowman, standing there, indulging and watching An Jing go wild with fondness.
