Time flies, and winter is here in the blink of an eye.

Winter came suddenly to Huaihai City, and autumn seemed to have vanished.

The plane trees lining the street had long since shed their leaves, their bare branches swaying in the cold wind.

The morning air was a bit chilly, and exhaled breath condensed into white mist.

"Ring ring—ring ring—"

The sound of a cell phone alarm clock broke the tranquility of the morning.

Shen Ye stretched a hand out from under the covers and fumbled for his phone on the bedside table. He found it, turned off the alarm, and then pulled back under the covers.

I'm so sleepy.

I played games too late last night, playing with friends, and before I knew it, it was 2 a.m. I don't want to get up at all now.

He nestled in the blankets, eyes closed, savoring the last warmth. The blankets were cozy and inviting, making it hard to leave.

I really don't want to get out of bed...

But the alarm clock has already gone off, and I'll be late if I don't get up soon.

Shen Ye struggled for a while before finally sitting up. He rubbed his eyes, yawned, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.

He walked to the window and drew back the curtains.

What came into view was a world covered in silver.

It snowed heavily last night, and the whole world outside turned white. The rooftops were covered with a thick layer of snow, the tree branches were laden with snowflakes, and the ground was covered with a pure white blanket of snow.

The distant streets, houses, and trees were all shrouded in a white world. Sunlight streamed through the clouds, reflecting a dazzling light on the snow. The whole world appeared pure and beautiful.

Shen Ye gazed quietly at the snow scene outside the window, feeling a mix of emotions.

Winter is here.

time flies.

He stood by the window for a while, then turned and left the room.

The air conditioning was on indoors, so I couldn't feel the chill outside.

But through the window, he could see how cold it was outside—the pedestrians on the street were all wrapped up tightly, and their breath condensed into white mist in the air.

Shen Ye walked out of the room and headed towards Lin Chunuan's door.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Nuan Nuan, get up."

A rustling sound came from the room, followed by Lin Chunuan's drowsy voice. "Mmm... let me sleep a little longer..."

Shen Ye sighed helplessly. This guy always does this when he tries to wake her up.

"Nuan Nuan, it's already seven o'clock," he said. "If you don't get up soon, you'll be late."

"Hmm... just five more minutes..."

"You've already said twice that you'd only sleep for five more minutes."

"Just this once..."

Shen Ye was speechless.

He stood at the doorway, unsure what to do. Should he just go in?

Not really suitable.

But if she doesn't go inside, Lin Chunuan will probably sleep until noon.

"Nuan Nuan," he knocked on the door again, "may I come in, brother?"

The room was quiet for a few seconds, then Lin Chunuan's voice came through.

"Brother, feel free to come in."

Shen Ye pushed open the door and went inside. The room was still filled with a faint fragrance, the scent of Lin Chunuan's usual shower gel.

On the bed, Lin Chunuan wrapped herself in the quilt like a silkworm cocoon, with only half of her head sticking out.

Her hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and her eyes were half-closed, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing Shen Ye come in, she stirred, then rolled over.

"Brother..." her voice was soft, with a hint of coquetry, "Get me dressed..."

Shen Ye sighed as he looked at her listless appearance.

Ever since Lin Chunuan complied with her request to wear socks, she has become increasingly demanding—first it was wearing socks, then squeezing toothpaste, and now it's wearing clothes.

Does this guy think he's a servant?

But there was nothing he could do.

I can only spoil my own younger sister.

Shen Ye walked to the wardrobe and opened the door. The wardrobe was filled with all kinds of clothes, mostly pink, white, and light blue.

He chose a cotton thermal undershirt, a thick cotton coat, and a white down jacket.

He took the clothes and walked to the bedside. "Get up."

Lin Chunu reluctantly crawled out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed.

She was wearing a light pink nightgown; the fabric was so thin that her fair skin could be vaguely seen underneath.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders, shimmering softly in the morning light, and her eyes were half-closed.

Shen Ye looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. This girl is really lazy.

He first put thermal underwear on Lin Chunuan, and then helped her put on her cotton coat.

Lin Chunuan obediently stretched out her arms, letting him do as he pleased.

After putting on his cotton-padded coat, Shen Ye picked up the white down jacket.

This is a very thick down jacket, fluffy and soft, it looks very warm.

He put the down jacket on Lin Chunuan and zipped it up.

Lin Chunuan was wrapped up tightly, making her look round and chubby.

She looked down at herself, then looked up at Shen Ye with displeasure.

"Brother, wearing so many layers makes it hard for me to move around," she said, pouting.

Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw her chubby appearance.

"It's snowing outside," he said. "It's very cold."

Lin Chunuan's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the word "snow".

"Is it snowing?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Mm." Shen Ye nodded.

Lin Chunuan quickly climbed out of bed, ran to the window, and pulled back the curtains.

What came into view was a vast expanse of white.

Lin Chunuan looked at the snow scene outside the window, her eyes sparkling.

"Wow—" she exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

She turned her head and looked at Shen Ye excitedly. "Brother! Let's go out and play in the snow together!"

Shen Ye looked at her excited expression and shook his head. "No," he said, "I have class today, how can I find time to play in the snow?"

Hearing this, Lin Chunuan pouted in dissatisfaction. "But..." her voice carried a hint of grievance, "it's snowing..."

"We'll still have class even if it snows." Shen Ye's attitude was firm.

"Just for a little while..."

"no."

"Ten minutes..."

"no."

"Five minutes..."

"I said no, and that means no."

Lin Chunu pouted in dissatisfaction, her eyes slightly red.

"My brother is so annoying..." she muttered under her breath.

Shen Ye found it somewhat amusing to look at her aggrieved expression.

But he didn't budge. "Alright, hurry up and wash up," he said, "we're going to be late."

Lin Chunuan reluctantly turned around and walked towards the restroom. Because she was wearing too many layers, her gait was somewhat clumsy.
