"Xu Musen..."
She murmured softly, her eyes gently closed, her heels slowly rising against the gravity of the earth, drawing in the last bit of distance.
But her lips encountered a cool sensation.
Opening her eyes, in front of Yao Mingyue, was a small snowman.
Xu Musen had placed this fist-sized snowman in her path, stepping back slightly.
"This, I'm giving to you too."
Xu Musen spoke, taking the milk tea from her hand, picked out two pearls, and set them into the snowman's eye sockets as eyes, making it look quite lively.
Yao Mingyue's eyes instantly lit up as she took the little snowman from Xu Musen's hand.
It was actually quite crudely made, but it truly was the best gift Yao Mingyue had received in recent tis.
Her fingers touched Xu Musen's hand, which was ice-cold, and she rembered how he had been grabbing snow from the green belt now and then, all the while keeping his hands behind his back.
Alright, she took back what she had said about him being a straight male, actually... he was quite charming.
Yao Mingyue looked at the little snowman in her hand and then at Xu Musen, suddenly feeling a twinge at the tip of her nose and couldn't help but smile.
Her voice even trembled a bit with surprise.
"This snowman is so ugly…"
She said so, yet she carefully cradled the snowman in her hands as if afraid it would fall and lt.
"Ugly? Oh right, I modeled it after you, so if the top beam is not straight, the bottom ones are bound to be crooked," Xu Musen deliberated and pretended to have an epiphany.
Yao Mingyue was instantly fuming, glaring with wide eyes, wanting to raise her fist to hit him, but she pulled back.
Hmph, for the sake of the snowman, she wouldn't get angry with him.
She looked at Xu Musen, and during today's brief encounter, she felt sothing different from before.
"Xu Musen, I'm the first to receive a snowman you've made this winter, aren't I?"
Yao Mingyue's eyes sparkled.
Xu Musen didn't answer, of course not, for the first snowfall had just happened that night.
"Hehe, then your girlfriend won't get jealous when she finds out…"
"You should head back now."
Xu Musen interrupted, knowing what she was about to say, urging her to go back as she was only wearing a sweater.
"Xu Musen, thank you for the snowman you gave ; I'm very happy."
"The things you gave are worth much more than a little snowman; I should be thanking you."
Xu Musen rembered the thick file, which Yao Mingyue must have spent a lot of ti and effort to complete.
Yao Mingyue held the snowman in her hands, took another look at Xu Musen, and smiled softly: "Now, I can understand the feelings you talked about before. Having too much can make one unappreciative, but tasting a bit of sweetness in suffering makes it all the more morable... It's worth it, isn't it?"
For the sake of these docunts, Yao Mingyue had toiled for over a month, mostly alone, eating alone, spending ti in the library by herself, living her life in silence.
During that ti, the thing she consud most was the bitter dark chocolate; her wrists ached from writing, these were experiences the once haughty and proud Yao Mingyue couldn't have ever imagined.
But now, having persevered through that long month, in exchange for an hour or two of his company, she felt it was truly worth it, very much so.
Right, and there was this little snowman too.
Xu Musen watched Yao Mingyue at this mont, looking dumber than even An Nuannuan, and his heart suddenly trembled.
It was just a casually made snowman.
The current Yao Mingyue stubbornly maintained her pride, and the more she did so, the more it stirred feelings of compassion in him.
If one day, Yao Mingyue truly overca her heart's troubles and beca the lively and cheerful Xiao Mingyue she used to be, could he really bless her to find soone else?
Xu Musen felt he really couldn't do that.
Perhaps this was a man's inherent flaw.
Yao Mingyue had gone ho.
Xu Musen wrapped his down jacket tighter around him, still lingering with Yao Mingyue's warmth and fragrance.
He silently looked in the direction of the dormitory building, the dormitory aunt had already locked the door.
He watched for a while longer and then turned to leave.
And Yao Mingyue, she returned to the girls' dorm.
"Eh, Mingyue, is that a snowman you're holding?"
"Haha, I was thinking of making one just now too, but it's so cold, and why does this snowman look so silly, like a husky, haha."
"Who gave that to you?"
A few girls crowded around curiously.
Yao Mingyue squinted her eyes, staring at the less than exquisite snowman in her hand, yet treasuring it too much to look away.
She humd, unable to hide the upward curve of her lips.
"A dummy gave it to ."
She said, and there was a small fridge in the dorm room used for storing fruit; she gently wrapped the snowman in cling film and placed it in the fridge.
The people in the dorm watched this scene, a bit srized.
Yao Mingyue, although usually distant and hard to approach, was undeniably outstanding, whether it be in figure, facial attractiveness, or capability, she was one in a million.
Moreover, she was a wealthy lady, attending school driving a Bentley.
If they had her conditions, they would definitely be more aloof than her!
Naturally, there were many pursuing her at school, and the male students in her class couldn't avoid ntioning Yao Mingyue in their conversations.
So wealthy heirs also pursued her; the gifts they offered were enviable to many girls.
But Yao Mingyue had never paid them any attention, no matter how expensive the gifts, she simply tossed them into the trash can.
