Chapter 3523 The Reality of Snow Falling Outside the Window

During this period, the nighttime temperature in Zhengzhou has been below zero, especially in scenic areas where it is even colder. At this time, only a few people are at work, and the water consumption is very low. It is normal for the water pipes to freeze due to the lack of flow.

Fortunately, there was still a bottle of unopened mineral water. After rinsing the kettle, we could boil water to make a drink, but taking a bath was out of the question.

Since Zhao Chang'an couldn't heat water for a bath, he didn't let Shan Cai boil the water. Instead, he took over the task and let her watch TV by herself.

Shan Cai turned on the TV and selected a romance drama to watch, which made Zhao Chang'an feel a little strange.

Did you really need to be so obvious? You booked a room, and a double room at that. You're an adult, how could you not understand that?

But he was still in a daze, not understanding what was wrong with Shan Cai, or even what to do next.
It was already past ten o'clock at night, and everything was quiet outside except for the soft rustling of snowflakes.

"The light is so bright!"

Seeing Zhao Chang'an plug in the kettle and start boiling water, Shan Cai said something in a rare, coquettish tone, with a touch of affected sweetness.

Zhao Chang'an glanced at Shan Cai and noticed that her beautiful and charming profile turned red in an instant. She clearly realized that there was something wrong with her voice, which sounded like a woman in love flirting with her lover.

Zhao Chang'an walked to the door, turned on the corridor light, and then turned off all the other lights, making the room dim and gloomy.

"It's still bright!"

Dan Cai said another sentence, but her voice wasn't as sweet as before.

Zhao Chang'an thought for a moment and then turned off the corridor light. So the only lights in the room were the indicator lights for the air conditioner, the indicator light for the simmering water, and the flickering light from the television.

So this time, Shan Cai didn't mind the lights being bright.

Zhao Chang'an looked out the window and said, "It's snowing."

At this moment, the dense, swirling snowflakes disappeared, turning into large, slowly falling goose feathers.

Dan Cai sat diagonally on the edge of the bed, her posture upright and straight, like a tree in full bloom, fragrant and beautiful.

Her eyes were fixed on the television, ignoring the snowflakes outside the window.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Chang'an turned off the TV, and the room immediately went dark. It was also pitch black outside the window, almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

The only sources of light were the faint glow from the air conditioner, the kettle, and the indicator lights on a few light switches in the room—a glow even dimmer than that of fireflies.

Zhao Chang'an took off his coat and casually placed it on the TV cabinet. He then turned a single sofa in front of the window to face the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

They lived on the third floor, and the view of both sides of the river must have been beautiful during the day.

Zhao Chang'an walked over to Shan Cai and gently picked her up; she weighed about 80 or 90 pounds.

It smells wonderful, it's soft, and it's light.

Shan Cai silently went along with his antics, but her slightly rapid breathing and quickened heartbeat betrayed that her true feelings were far from the calm she appeared to be.

Let's watch the snow together.

Zhao Chang'an held Shan Cai in his arms and sat her on the sofa, letting her sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and they looked out the window together.

It feels so good. In his previous life, Zhao Chang'an could never have imagined that he would one day be so intimately embracing the president of Shancai Education, who was sitting on his lap.

Shan Cai glanced at it and said, feigning composure, "It's pitch black!" Her gentle voice trembled slightly.

"Although you can't see it, it's a fact that it exists. And these large snowflakes are falling all around us. When the sun comes out tomorrow morning, you will be able to see the beautiful scenery of the frozen plains stretching as far as the eye can see."

Zhao Chang'an's head gently rested against Shan Cai's dark hair, and he could smell her pleasant fragrance, feel the softness of her hair, and sense the warmth radiating from her face.

However, his hands were very proper, only gently encircling Shan Cai's slender waist, and even through her down jacket.

"You're showing me a reality I can't see?"

The artistic young woman, Shan Cai, habitually reveals her literary and artistic temperament.

"You could say that. I sense you have something on your mind. Why don't you talk to me about it? Even if I can't completely clear up or enlighten you, three heads are better than one, and maybe we can figure out some truths you haven't seen."

Zhao Chang'an was still very curious about what was wrong with Shan Cai. Just now, when Shan Cai took something out of the box in the car and put it into her bag, Zhao Chang'an knew that the thing in the box was something she had prepared for him tonight.

Moreover, based on the feel of the touch he made with his fingers, Zhao Chang'an could roughly tell the ring number and guessed that Shan Cai had put Shan Qiang in the bottom drawer of the cabinet.

Fortunately, the dozen or so boxes in that cabinet were all bought by Zhao Chang'an. Like chewing gum, there were banana, orange, apple, and strawberry flavors. It wasn't necessary to finish the pack of chewing gum before opening the next one. Usually, he would just choose the type according to his needs.

Therefore, Shan Cai and Zhao Chang'an were not afraid, as Shan Qiang knew that they would know if one of them was missing.

A young girl suddenly made this decision. Zhao Chang'an didn't know what difficulties or confusion she had encountered that led her to such a desperate measure.

Zhao Chang'an wasn't surprised that Shan Cai had contacted him, because Shan Cai was clearly not in a relationship yet, so there might be many men around her to choose from, but which one was as handsome, dashing, and talented as Zhao Chang'an?
Shan Cai remained silent upon hearing this.

Zhao Chang'an didn't urge her or force her to speak. He simply held her gently, soft, and warm body in his arms, and together they gazed out the window at the real snow that Shan Cai couldn't see in the darkness.

"Woo~"

The water boiled, but Zhao Chang'an was unwilling to let go of the pure and beautiful girl he was holding, letting the kettle make a sound and then automatically boil.

The gurgling sound of water gradually subsided, leaving only the hum of the air conditioner and the increasingly synchronized heartbeats of the two.

"So hot!"

By this time, the air conditioner had already raised the indoor temperature, and Zhao Chang'an, being a hot-tempered young man, had made Shan Cai sweat a little from the heat.

"Then take off your coat?"

Zhao Chang'an suggested, "But since you're sweating, you should cover yourself with this and remove it after the sweat has subsided."

Shan Cai remained silent, and Zhao Chang'an dared not rashly take off her coat.

"Don't you have hands? Do I need to teach you?"

Dan Cai is getting a little impatient.

Zhao Chang'an reached for the zipper at the collar of her coat with one hand, pulled it down with a 'zip', and then took off her coat, instantly filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance of a young woman.

She tucked her coat in front of Dan Cai to keep warm, and underneath she was only wearing a thin, ultra-thin pink thermal undershirt and a sporty, wire-free bra.

Zhao Chang'an let her lean her thin back against his chest, trying to keep her from thinking about those messy things.

"My mom wants me to date that bastard Xiao Zijie. No matter how much I object, she's as cold as an iceberg, as if I have no choice but to marry him!"

Shan Cai finally spoke, and as soon as she spoke, Zhao Chang'an roughly guessed why she was resisting so fiercely.
