Just when Xia Ruoxin was about to eat another mouth of carrots, Gao Yi reached out his hand and took her entire bowl away .

He picked up all the carrots in her bowl and placed them in his own . “This is my favorite vegetable; don't you dare touch a single strand of it . Eat your little vegetables . ” He picked all the shredded carrots away and then placed the plate of carrots in front of himself . “Okay, let's just eat our own food; don't think about touching my carrots . ” As he spoke, he picked up a bunch of other vegetables with his chopsticks and placed them into Xia Ruoxin's bowl .

“Yes . Eat more vegetables; it's good for your skin . ”

Just as he finished speaking, he began eating large mouthfuls of his food, one bite after another . The carrots practically all went into his stomach . However, in a place unknown to others, a bitter smile faintly arose on that gentle and elegant face of his .

Ruoxin, you're hesitating .

Outside was a snowstorm . Xia Ruoxin cleared the bowls and chopsticks, and when she walked out, she saw Gao Yi taking out his scarf and a hat .

“Wasn't today your off-day?”

Xia Ruoxin remembered that Gao Yi did not have work today . He was on a night s.h.i.+ft . What was he going out for now?

“I'm not the one who is going out . ” Gao Yi headed towards Xia Ruoxin, twirling the scarf around her neck and putting the hat on her head .

Xia Ruoxin couldn't understand . Her eyes were filled with questions .

Gao Yi actually liked this look in her eyes the most . It was always a very clean look, and her soul was there . No matter how many hards.h.i.+ps she went through or how much she got hurtfrom the beginning to the end, she always had that pure heart .

He opened the door and took Xia Ruoxin's hands .

“Go on . ”

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on the door . Why did she have to go out?

“Talk it out with the man outside . ”

Gao Yi pushed her out . The cold air outside blew onto his face . It was at that moment, Gao Yi felt like the cold, howling wind had frozen his heart into ice .

Xia Ruoxin's hand didn't leave the door handle .

She didn't want to . She really didn't want to have anything to do with that man again . It was just that they had too much between them that couldn't be resolved, that couldn't be severed all because of that daughter who was related to him by blood .

“Go on . ” Gao Yi placed his hand on Ruoxin's hair then bent down and whispered into her ear, “You're not a woman who runs away . No matter how long it takes, this problem will have to be resolved someday . ” At that moment, he was saying it from an outsider's perspective . Just like a kiss between the opposite s.e.xes—in his laughing black pupils, something seemingly flashed by .

If other people made him uncomfortable, how could he not seek revenge?

Xia Ruoxin's hands slowly loosened . Then, she walked out into the blizzard . Behind her, the man stood leaning onto the door . She turned back only to see the man give her an encouraging smile .

Xia Ruoxin tightened the scarf around her neck . A speck of snow fell onto her neck, causing her to retract it . She hadn't felt like that for a long time .

The man standing amidst the snow practically became a snowman . His hair, his shoulders, his clothes, and even his eyelashes had a layer of falling snow . The man's extremely thin lips were pressed tightly together at that moment . His expression was very grim . Just then, he instinctively blinked his eye, causing the snow on his lashes to fall abruptly . Tears rolled down the side of his eyes, merging with the melting snow-a perfect disguise .

It was a little icy and a little chilly… a little cold and frosty, too .

“Ruoxin, can my mom see her for a while?”

Chu Lui took his hands out of his pocket . He wanted to clench them, but his fingers were too frostbitten to move . It was such a simple action, and yet he couldn't do it . It seemed like he was still human, a human with blood and flesh and one who could go numb from freezing in the cold weather .

Snow fell onto Xia Ruoxin from time to time, but she didn't want to speak . Especially not with the man standing in front of her .

The man's lips slightly parted, seemingly letting out a sigh .

Xia Ruoxin just turned around .

“Ruoxin…” Chu Lui called out to her, his voice hoa.r.s.e . “She is a child of the Chu family after all, isn't she?”

Xia Ruoxin stopped in her tracks . She wanted to know as well… if one day, her voice could sound as cold as the snow around her .

“The Chu family?” She laughed slightly, her laughter filled with sarcasm . “You and your Chu family have no right . ”

She would never forget how Rainy managed to survive . She was just three-years-old, and yet she went through so much pain and hards.h.i.+p, even almost losing her life .

The Chu family's blood flowed through her veins, but n.o.body from the Chu family helped her .

She would never forget which person robbed Rainy of her first place in the nursery… made her cry, sad, and stand outside the cla.s.sroom door causing her to fall sick . Yes, this Chu family; what right did they have? What right?

The wind blowing in her face stung-it really stung .

As she headed back, Gao Yi approached her gently patting the snow off her shoulders . Xia Ruoxin smiled at him, just that her smile had a hidden tint of chilliness… just like the color of the sky, just like the snow .

Chu Lui just stood there dumbly as if his body was frozen . He stood there until he became a block of ice, a snowflake… a grain of dust .

At night, Xia Ruoxin sat up from her bed . Actually, she did not know why, but recently, she had been losing sleep . These few years, there was never a day where she could not fall asleep . Every day… every month, she had to pull through the fatigue just to earn a little more money . Yes, it was exhausting . That's why she never lost a night of sleep, and yet today…

She stood up and headed outside, reaching out her hands to open the curtains . The snow was still falling, and outside had already become a cold, white world .

Light from the streetlamp illuminated the cold, white floor . It seemed possible to feel the coldness within the warmth of the light and also within the man who remained standing outside .

The warmth was from his body, but the coldness was in his eyes . A speck of a snowflake fell into his eyes . He opened his eyes widely . The snowflake melted into water and rolled down the side of his eyes .

Once he returned to the office, he was practically like an icicle . The clothes on his body were all soaking wet .

“Did you fall into a river or something?” His soaked appearance really gave Du Jingtang a scare . He hastily unpacked his recently bought clothes and brought them to Chu Lui . Walking around like that in this kind of weather, did he have a death wish?

“Brother, did you manage to meet my niece?” Du Jingtang anxiously asked Chu Lui . “What about the child, did you get to meet her?”

Chu Lui's hands that were drying his hair with a towel paused for a slight moment . After that, he continued to dry his hair as if nothing had happened, his black pupils looking into the distance, seemingly deep in thought .
