Awakening from the cool dream, Shen Lou subconsciously tightened his arms, pulled Lin Xin’s warm and flexible body into his arms, and then slowly opened his eyes.

A cool breeze blew into the house, carrying crackling snow particles. Winter in Huan Xinghai always came very early.

It was troublesome to cover two people with one quilt. If one person grabbed the quilt, the other one would be exposed to the cold. At this moment, Shen Lou’s shoulders were exposed, and the warm Lin Xin huddled in his arms had been sleeping for who knows how long. Fortunately, he had spiritual power to protect his body and would not suffer from rheumatic bone pain due to the cold.

Shen Lou lifted the man in his arms and tucked him deeper into bed.

Lin Xin dazedly rubbed his face on his arm, feeling the skin on his cheek turn a little cold. He closed his eyes and put the cold arm under the quilt, hugging it to keep it warm.

His arms seemed to be rolled up under his belly like a sleeping cat, which made his heart itch with warmth. Shen Lou kissed the slightly cool ears and whispered, “It’s snowing outside.”

“Hmm…” Lin Xin snorted and held on. Shen Lou’s body jumped up, and he buried his face in the crook of his neck, warming his slightly cold shoulders. “It was sunny yesterday, wasn’t it?”

“Heavy snow can come at any time, there’s no guarantee,” Shen Lou said while touching the smooth back and rubbing the soft flesh that was bullied last night. “Are you still sleeping? If not, let’s go to Huan Xinghai to have a look.”

“Sleep a little longer.” Lin Xin draped the top of the one of his legs over Shen Lou’s body, moaning and rubbing against him.

Shen Lou groaned and slapped the soft flesh: “I think you don’t want to sleep anymore.”

“Brother Qingque is bad. He spanked me so early in the morning. I want to tell dad.” Lin Xin propped himself up over his body and said with an innocent and aggrieved look.

Shen Lou turned over, pressed the person on the bed, and said fiercely: “Brother Qingque not only wants to spank, but also…”

“He also wants to stab me with a stick! I must tell dad about this…ah! Hahaha…I I was wrong…”

This situation was destined to fail, as Father Shen was not in Huan Xinghai at all.

The northern region was cold, and winter was a bit difficult for Shen Qirui, who had lost his spiritual power. He had originally planned to stay in the Eastern Region for a while, but he didn’t know that there were no earth dragons or fire pits in the Eastern Region. There was a lot of water and heavy humidity, such that it felt even colder than the Northern Region. In the end, he had to go to the Southern Region to endure Zhu Yangai’s bad temper.

“I heard that the small cold fish caught in the ice is very delicious.” Lin Xin, wrapped in a fox fur, stood on the waterside pavilion and looked at the frozen Huan Xinghai.

Because he lost a lot of blood on the snowy mountain, Lin Xin’s body was really weak for a while. After taking the tonic for a long time, he was fine, but Shen Lou was still worried and still wrapped him into a rice dumpling when coming out. The children of the Shen family, including Shen Yingying, had been playing on the ice wearing thin shirts for a long time.

“Go down and get the chisel and fishing rod.” Zishu saw Shen Lou looking over and immediately went to prepare the tools.

“A Xin! Come down and play!” A snowball flew towards Lin Xin, and he caught it steadily. He saw Shen Yingying standing on the ice and baring her teeth at him.

Lin Xin held the snowball and tossed it in his hand: “I don’t know how to play this, you have to release some water for me.”

“Okay, I’ll give you three moves.” Shen Yingying put her hands on her hips and said boldly.

Lin Xin turned over and jumped off the waterside pavilion, made three snowballs, threw them into the air one by one like a juggler, and then caught them one by one, making the group of children applaud. After spinning for a few times, his wrist suddenly flicked “bang bang bang bang” and the snowballs hit Shen Yingying on the head.

Shen Yingying, who was hit hard, was stunned for a long time before she realized that this guy simply knew how to play and was just pretending: “Lin Buqing, just wait!” After that, she raised a piece of snow as big as a pot lid and said, as she started running after Lin Xin.

“Hey, you said you wanted to give me three moves.” Lin Xin smiled and slid on the ice. However, he was not good at this. He fell down after taking two steps and was hit by Shen Yingying’s big snow block.

“Wow!” When a group of children saw someone falling, they immediately shouted and tried to bury Lin Xin with snow.

Seeing that something was wrong, Lin Xin fluttered and tried to get up, but the ice was too slippery and he couldn’t use his strength to kick his legs. Seeing that a large pile of snow was about to hit him, at the critical moment, Shen Lou lifted him up and held him in his arms.

Loose chunks of snow hit the broad back of Shen Lou and scattered into pieces. When the children saw that Shen Lou had been hit, they screamed and ran away.

“Look at you, you are so ugly that you scared away the children.” Lin Xin lay on Shen Lou’s shoulder and watched the children running away.

“Yeah.” Shen Lou responded casually and patted the ice particles off his body.

“Don’t be sad. In my eyes, you are the moonlight in the sky and the stars in the Milky Way. You are the most beautiful in the world.” Lin Xin held Shen Lou’s face and said seriously.

Shen Lou was amused by him: “Thank you for your kindness, Qingque is very grateful.” After saying that, he took the tools handed over by Zishu and pulled Lin Xin towards the center of the lake.

Shen Yingying, who was standing aside, said: “…” Does he have an eye disease? My brother is obviously one of the most handsome in Dayong, so why should he be grateful to Lin Xin for not finding him ugly?

However, no one cared about the truth in Princess Sanghu’s heart. The two people who ran away had already dug a hole in the middle of the lake and started fishing.

Shen Lou fished while sitting quietly on the ice lake, you couldn’t move too much when fishing.

Lin Xin, however, couldn’t sit still. After putting down the fishhook, he picked it up and checked it in an incense’s time but found nothing. He repeated this over and over again, then he lost his patience, so he dropped his fishing rod and started looking around. There were only two of them in the middle of the lake, the cold wind was blowing and the ice and snow were vast.

He never thought that one day he would be able to fish in Huan Xinghai so calmly.

He was a little stunned for a moment.

“Xinxin,” Shen Lou suddenly held his hand, “Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Xin blinked, remembering that Shen Lou had been nervous just now while not allowing the children to bury him in snow, and then he realized that this man was still caring about what happened that year when he was nine years old. In fact, he was no longer afraid of the ice and snow, but when he saw the look in Shen Lou’s eyes, he felt that he should pamper him.

“There’s no point in holding hands, you have to hold me.” Lin Xin approached Shen Lou and looked at him eagerly.

The pair of eyes with a hint of pain suddenly lit up. Shen Lou untied Lin Xin’s fox fur cloak, hugged him and sat down, wrapping the two of them together in his cloak.

Lin Xin happily nestled in Shen Lou’s arms, yawned lazily, and watched him fishing: “Send this fish to the Southern Region and say that your father had someone bring it for Mrs. Jing.”

“Father himself has good ideas, don’t worry too much,” Shen Lou stringed together the fish that had been frozen solid since landing, “This is for you to eat.”

Small cold fish was a unique delicacy in Huan Xinghai. It was really delicious. Lin Xin ate a charcoal grilled fish and forgot about Father Shen who was probably being beaten by his uncle.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the night breeze was too cold, so the windows were closed at night. The next morning, Shen Lou was not woken up by the cold like usual when he got up to practice his sword, he had his eyes closed as he went to touch the person in his arms.

He sat up and looked around, but there was no sign of Lin Xin. He immediately put on his clothes and got out of bed. He opened the door and saw the unsettling guy wearing a thin shirt making a snowman with the snow piled under the maple tree. And when he heard Shen Lou coming out, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block him, “Why did you wake up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual?” The snowman wasn’t ready yet, so Lin Xin drove him back angrily.

“You were gone. “Shen Lou held his cold hand.

When Lin Xin heard this, he stopped chasing people away with some guilt. He didn’t know if he had frightened Shen Lou by running to kill the Great Witch alone. But after that, his habit of waking up at night started again. Fortunately, it wasn’t serious. When he woke up and saw Lin Xin beside him, he could go back to sleep.

“I won’t run away anymore.” Lin Xin took off the black hairband on his head and tied it to the snowman’s waist. He used tree branches to carve out his eyebrows and eyes. He had short arms and legs, just like Shen Qingque when he was a child.

This was the small Shen Lou on the snow mountain that existed in his memory of two generations. In Xiao Shen Lou’s arms, there was still a snowball, which should be Xiao Lin Xin who had not yet been finished.

“I’ve not been afraid of snow since a long time ago. Since the last time you hugged me on the snowy mountain, I’m not afraid anymore.” Lin Xin looked down at the unfinished little snowman. The warm embrace in the biting cold wind and the lingering faint scent of grass and woods were his only salvation in those bloody years. After thinking about it for two lives, he finally got what he wanted. With Shen Qingque, there was no need to fear the wind and snow.

Shen Lou looked at him steadily, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes, as he teased him: “In this case, I can go to patrol the border with peace of mind. You just wait for me at home.”

When heavy snow fell, it was time to patrol the border of the Northern Territory.

Hearing that they were about to separate, Lin Xin immediately quit and threw himself into Shen Lou’s arms like a boneless man. He trembled and said, “Why is the snow so heavy? I’m scared!”

Shen Lou pursed his lips and suppressed a smile: “Then, you and I, let ‘s go together?”

“Okay!” Lin Xian kissed his chin.

“The snow is even heavier on the border.”

“Then hold me tight.”

“Silly Xinxin…”
