Chapter 18: The Tenderness of a Snowy Day
Outside, the snow was falling, and the snowflakes seemed to be paving the road tightly, Xie Rong wrapped his bathrobe tightly, and was standing on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the snow with a flat face.
She touched the snow that had accumulated on the railing, then clumped them up and gently tossed them onto the balcony, watching them crash to the ground.
Xie Rong's mood didn't seem to be very good.
Right before her eyes, a large outdoor pool with the hotel had been closed and the entire pool was covered in snow, but there were still some guests playing snowball fights below.
Xie Rong didn't want to go to the balcony, even though the snow outside was blowing and it was beautiful, but she always felt that it would be very cold outside, after all, the air conditioner in the room was turned on sufficiently.
But she was really bored, Huo Tingsheng went to a meeting, and before leaving, he specially told her not to run around, like telling a child, which made Xie Rong very helpless.
And Xie Rong really didn't know when Huo Tingsheng would come back, she didn't want Huo Tingsheng to torture her again on the grounds that he couldn't find her when he came back.
Just when Xie Rong was bored and counted how many guests there were downstairs, the door of the room was opened, and although the sound of the door opening was very soft, it still made Xie Rong turn around.
"You're back?"
Huo Tingsheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xie Rong's appearance, he just had a moment when he actually felt what "warmth" was here in Xie Rong. The gentle wife was quietly watching the snow, and the husband came back from outside and saw his wife's smiling eyes -
"What's wrong?" Xie Rong rarely saw Huo Tingsheng a little stunned, so he couldn't help but ask.
After all, her husband is really moody, and she is a little unsure now, so could it be that Huo Tingsheng's meeting is not very smooth?
Xie Rong's voice pulled Huo Tingsheng's thoughts back, Huo Tingsheng took off his coat and took it in his hand, and walked to the balcony door.
"Why do you wear so little out?"
"......" Xie Rong was really surprised at this time, her husband was actually caring about her?
And just confirmed Xie Rong's surprise, the next moment, Huo Tingsheng unexpectedly put the warm coat on his hand and draped it on Xie Rong's slightly thin shoulders.
"It's so cold, do you want to catch a cold?" Huo Tingsheng held her hand, found that the woman's hand was cold, and then looked at the messy snow on the balcony, and then looked up, and saw the snow marks on the railing, and naturally knew Xie Rong's actions just now.
This woman was wearing only a bathrobe, and she actually closed the balcony door and ran over to play in the snow?
The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge, and a person of her age can't take care of herself? Huo Tingsheng frowned, took her hand and rubbed it back and forth, and ordered, "Go in." ”
Xie Rong didn't want to listen to his orders, but she couldn't control her steps, and she couldn't control herself, under the guidance of Huo Tingsheng, she walked back indoors.
Xie Rong walked almost involuntarily as he looked back at the heavy snow that was still fluttering outside.
Huo Tingsheng saw that she was very nostalgic, and he also knew her thoughts. Finally found this woman's preference, Huo Tingsheng was not willing to give up easily.
In the meeting just now, he heard some discordant voices again, but these are still under his control, and there are always many things for him to deal with, and he will feel tired. But now when I see Xie Rong, all those tiredness are gone, and only the stability of my heart remains.
This woman ...... It's a magical being.
"Do you want to go down and have a snowball fight?" Huo Tingsheng hugged her from behind Xie Rong, his warm lips approached Xie Rong's ear, and he continued to whisper, "I can accompany you." ”
Xie Rong's ears soon turned red, her ears have always been sensitive, but she didn't expect Huo Tingsheng to be directly in her ears, and discussed with her in a very gentle tone, such Huo Tingsheng is very rare, and Xie Rong has never had the luxury of expecting it all these years.
Her husband asked her so softly at this moment if she wanted to go to a snowball fight...... Xie Rong's red ears began to spread to her face, and she grabbed Huo Tingsheng's arm tightly, her heart was numb.
She has loved him for so long, so she naturally knows that Huo Tingsheng is always careful, but it has never been her Xie Rong who can make him pay attention.
Without her answer, Huo Tingsheng stuck out his tongue and licked the tips of her ears, and then attacked her earlobes.
"Huh?" Huo Tingsheng's hand gently pressed Xie Rong's entire body closer to him.
The gentleness at this moment almost broke Xie Rong's heart, and all his evil words and torture to her before were left behind by her at this moment, as if she had already obtained his whole person if she was treated like this.
It's as if they're a real husband and wife, and they can understand each other.
Thinking of this, Xie Rong's eyes turned a little red.
She kept reminding herself that she couldn't be so useless, that she couldn't fall into his rare tenderness, but still grabbed his arm and nodded.
"Okay." The answer was slightly nasal.
Huo Tingsheng heard her slightly hoarse voice, and was still wondering if he had a cold just now, he asked with some concern, "Got a cold?" Why don't you pay attention to it? ”
"No, I don't have a cold." Xie Rong cleared his throat and rubbed the tip of his nose.
"I'll see." Huo Tingsheng didn't believe Xie Rong's words, but turned her body around and clearly saw her red nose.
"You haven't caught a cold yet?"
Xie Rong sniffed and asked with some expectation, "Didn't you say you were going to have a snowball fight?" ”
"......" Huo Tingsheng felt that he suddenly didn't want to take her there.
So when Xie Rong and Huo Tingsheng walked downstairs together, Xie Rong was speechless. Because Huo Tingsheng actually wrapped her like a zongzi, three layers inside and three layers outside, all scarves, masks, and hats, and she didn't know where he took these things from.
"Alright, don't be upset." Huo Tingsheng saw Xie Rong's slightly dissatisfied face, and said a little helplessly. The snowball in his hand was tightly gathered by him, and it became a hard ball.
"What are you doing with such a tight snowball?" Xie Rong frowned, but her mouth was covered by a mask, and her voice was almost only audible to her.
Xie Rong watched in horror as Huo Tingsheng hit the snowball in his hand towards her, and he didn't react for a while, just as he was hit. Fortunately, she put on a heavy down jacket, although it was forced by someone, and now the snowball hit her, only to feel a muffled sound explode on the down jacket, and her body didn't hurt much.
But Xie Rong felt that Huo Tingsheng didn't hear what she said at all, so she shouted loudly with all her might: "You smash it lightly!" But there was only a snowball that greeted her, and this snowball smashed into Xie Rong's ear and rubbed past her ear.
"Huo Tingsheng!!" Shouting, she crouched down and reached into the snow with her hands, pulling hard.
Seeing this, Huo Tingsheng was glad in her heart - fortunately she was given gloves before leaving, otherwise her hands would definitely be frozen to the point of being unconscious at this moment.
"Hey, why are you so slow!" Huo Tingsheng looked at it and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This woman isn't it, how do you feel that she is still lingering? Obviously she has helped her arrange all her hair and cover her head tightly, why does she look like she wants revenge?
When Xie Rong heard Huo Tingsheng's words, he also seemed to feel that he was a little slow, so he directly lifted some broken snow in his hand that had not yet taken shape and threw it towards Huo Tingsheng.
“…… You ......" The broken snow almost disintegrated painlessly when it reached Huo Tingsheng.
Huo Tingsheng was very helpless, and walked over to Xie Rong, who was still trying to make a snowball.
