If these were the conditions for going to see the snow, then it seemed like she wasn’t losing out. It was just holding hands, after all, nothing more.
After all, she had held hands with him before, and for quite a long time too. Fu Xuanyi wouldn’t do anything to her.
Thinking this way, Wei Yuxian couldn’t suppress her desire to go out and see the snow, so she agreed. With one hand tucked into his pocket, she went out with him.
Fu Xuanyi saw that she didn’t resist and knew that she had agreed. His eyes carried a hint of a smile, and his thumb couldn’t help but gently rub her soft hand, much like he would rub prayer beads.
As soon as they stepped outside, an overwhelming cold greeted them head-on. Wei Yuxian could feel the temperature around her drop by several degrees in an instant!
If she hadn’t been wearing such thick clothes, she might have shivered from the cold!
At this moment, all her attention was on the snow outside, and she didn’t notice Fu Xuanyi’s movements in the pocket.
The further they walked into the snow, the colder it became. Yet, Wei Yuxian wasn’t afraid at all because her winter outfit was warm enough to withstand the cold!
She excitedly ran a couple of steps ahead, eager to touch the snowflakes, watching them fall into her palm!
But after only a few steps, just as she walked out from under the villa’s cover, she stopped and looked back. Her hand was still in Fu Xuanyi’s pocket, preventing her from walking fast.
Fu Xuanyi walked leisurely, unhurried, tightly holding her hand to keep her from walking too fast.
Wei Yuxian wanted to walk faster but felt embarrassed to say anything. It was already a significant concession for Fu Xuanyi to let her come out and see the snow. If she made any more demands, he might become unhappy.
What if he got upset and didn’t let her come out to see the snow anymore?
Wei Yuxian could only be patient, waiting ahead for him to catch up. Once he walked up to her, she continued walking with him.
White snowflakes drifted down around her, landing on her furry hat and thick clothes, not melting immediately.
Wei Yuxian quickly noticed the snowflakes landing on her. She looked at the snowflakes on her clothes in amazement—they were perfect six-sided snowflakes!
But before long, the snowflakes melted.
Even so, Wei Yuxian was still delighted!
It was the first time she had seen such perfectly formed snowflakes, so beautiful! Just like the ones shown on TV!
If the snowflakes didn’t melt so quickly, she would have loved to hold them in her hands and examine them closely!
She was very happy, watching the snowflakes fall from the sky, feeling this tranquility, and her heart calmed down as well.
She extended her other hand, gloved, with the palm facing up to catch the falling snow, watching it gather and melt in her hand.
How magical, she marveled inwardly.
Nature is truly amazing. How can it form such beautiful snowflakes?
Watching the snowflakes melt into water in her palm, she had an urge to take off her gloves and feel the snowflakes directly with her skin!
She wanted to know what it felt like when the snowflakes landed on her hand and melted.
But she didn’t dare and couldn’t take off her gloves. The man beside her certainly wouldn’t approve.
She continued to admire the beautiful snowy scene, as delighted as a child with a new favorite toy.
Fu Xuanyi watched her face without hiding his gaze. Seeing her so happy, his heart also filled with joy.
It seemed she had been cooped up at home for too long, which was why she was so delighted just to see the snow.
In the future, he should take her out more often.
Wei Yuxian watched the snow for a good ten minutes, her eyes curved in smiles, and all her bad moods vanished!
But after just those ten minutes, Fu Xuanyi led her back inside. It was simply too cold outside, and he worried she might get too chilled.
As a pregnant woman, her body was more delicate than that of an average person, and she was carrying two babies. There couldn’t be any mistakes.
Ten minutes was his absolute limit.
Reluctantly, Wei Yuxian walked back to the villa, her eyes full of longing as she looked at the snow, still wanting to stay outside for much longer.
But she also understood that Fu Xuanyi brought her back so quickly for her own good, as she did indeed feel a bit of the cold outside.
The winter in the capital was truly harsh. It seemed fine when they first went out, not feeling cold at all, but after just ten minutes, the chill set in.
And she was already wearing very thick clothes!
Seeing her reluctance, Fu Xuanyi said, Next time it snows, I’ll take you out again.”
Wei Yuxian’s spirits immediately lifted, blooming like a flower! She asked excitedly, “Really?”
Fu Xuanyi nodded, affirming, “Really.”
Wei Yuxian’s eyes crinkled with joy, “I’ll remember that!”
Next time it snows, she wanted to go out again and see the snowflakes! She wanted to experience it firsthand, not just watch from behind a window!
The snow continued for a long time, falling throughout the entire night. By morning, a thick layer had accumulated in the yard, deep enough to bury a foot with each step.
When Wei Yuxian woke up, she noticed that the snow had stopped, but it hadn’t melted yet. She watched the servants outside clearing the snow, her face full of envy, wishing she could be out there with them, touching the snow.
Then she thought, it would be a shame not to use this snow to build a snowman.
Once she felt better physically, she vowed to make good use of the snow and build a huge snowman!
Wei Yuxian stretched lazily, starting to consider what to do today.
Her mood was quite good today because playing in the snow for over ten minutes yesterday helped her sort out many things in her mind. Her internal knots unraveled, and naturally, her mood became more open.

In a certain train station in the capital, Wei Yuxian’s mother had traveled on a green train for a day and a night, finally arriving in the capital.
She was exhausted, having had a terrible time during the day and night on the train. The train environment was poor, with all sorts of people, and to save money, she hadn’t even bought a sleeper, enduring a lot of suffering.
But when she thought about saving some money by enduring a bit of suffering, she felt it was worth it.
Once off the train, following the crowd out of the station, Wei Yuxian’s mother hugged her luggage tightly, sniffing. She thought the capital was really cold, much colder than where they came from.
She looked at her thick coat and felt clever for wearing such warm clothes. Otherwise, she would have had to spend money to buy a new set of clothes upon arrival.
She had heard that the capital was much colder than their hometown, but she didn’t expect it to be this cold. It was so cold that she didn’t want to take another step.
Feeling both tired and sleepy, Wei Yuxian’s mother stood outside the train station, looking at the bus station sign. She wasn’t hungry though; she had plenty of dry rations from home, enough to last her several days.
To avoid wasting time, she forced herself to stay alert and searched for directions to Wei Yuxian’s school on her phone.
These days, although she wasn’t very good at using smartphones, she could still manage to look up directions.
What was the name of that money-losing school again? It seemed to be something like a financial university… Oh right, it’s called the Jingdu University of Finance and Economics, quite far from the train station.
