Shen Zhaoli watched Wen Jiao’s facial expressions with a smile, feeling they were especially lively. With such a long life ahead, being able to see them every day would be enough to count as fortunate in this lifetime. His smile deepened, his tone light and ambiguous, true yet false as he said, "How can that be? After all, I’m on your side." Private island, early morning. Bian Yue and Shen Jinci were scheduled to leave tomorrow. Today, Shen Jinci had already had people packing up things gradually. Bian Yue was feeling unusually energetic today. She sat at the doorway, watching the tall piles of snow outside, holding a freshly baked sweet potato in her hand. "Do you want half?" Bian Yue lifted her gaze, only to see Bai Xu standing by her side, "Jinci just baked it; it’s very sweet." "You go ahead! I won’t have any." Bai Xu smiled, looking at Bian Yue’s face, feeling a great sense of emotion, "What did the doctor say?" "The fetal image is stable; it’s safe to travel." Bian Yue curiously asked, "You’re really not going back?" "I’m not going back. From now on, wherever Mr. Li goes, I will follow." Bai Xu shook his head, his voice calm. He paused, a tone of apology surfacing, "Thank goodness you are fine; otherwise, I couldn’t forgive myself." "Why think so much? I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, why are you reflecting on it yourself?" Bian Yue sighed softly, "Regarding that day’s incident, even if you really intended to let me go, Li Sihe would’ve taken action. I understand him too well; if he wants to do something, there isn’t anything he can’t achieve." "Miss Bian, aren’t you curious as to why I chose to stay?" Bai Xu squatted down next to Bian Yue, smiling. Bian Yue also smiled, with the tone of casual chatting, "Why?" "Because I truly admire Mr. Li. This isn’t flattery, it’s sincere. Mr. Li is the smartest person I’ve ever seen in this world, meticulous and leaving no stone unturned. I admire his way of handling things. More importantly, after being saved by the Li Family, my life’s plan has always been centered around Mr. Li. Indeed, if I really left him, I wouldn’t know what else I could do." Bian Yue fell silent for a moment. She took a bite of the sweet potato in her hand, looking at Bai Xu, she smiled, "Then just follow your heart’s plan. I also believe that Li Sihe will be successful in whatever he does." Bai Xu, looking at Bian Yue’s calm and reassuring face, showed a complex mix of emotions in his eyes. He sighed softly, "I’m sorry for the past, Miss Bian." Bian Yue said it was okay. She really felt it was okay. If everything could just come to an abrupt stop, with everyone pursuing their own paths, then whatever happened before didn’t matter. Bian Yue didn’t want to entangle herself, nor did she want to continue scheming on how to achieve so-called fairness. There was no such thing as fairness in this world, not to mention the emotional entanglements between them were extremely complex. Snow began to flutter down again, and Bian Yue looked up, proposing, "Bai Xu, I want to build a snowman, call Jinci over." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet Shen Jinci was packing the last few daisies on the plane, holding a black umbrella, standing in the vast expanse of snow, silently watching everyone’s movements. Bai Xu approached him, conveying Bian Yue’s wish. Shen Jinci was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked in the direction of Bian Yue. He squatted down in front of Bian Yue and quietly asked, "Yueyue, what shape of snowman do you want?" Bian Yue took out her phone, drew a simple version of a snowman on the notes app, and said, "." Shen Jinci looked at it seriously as if facing a final exam, reviewed it several times, then confirmed the details with Bian Yue. "Use a carrot for the nose, buttons for the clothes, and black beans for the eyes?" Bian Yue nodded, feeling that this was very good, "Yes!" So, Shen Jinci began to build the snowman on the snowy ground. Bian Yue’s body was heavy and not convenient to move, but she had fun directing while sitting on a chaise lounge. Shen Jinci was excessively patient, doing whatever Bian Yue suggested without a second thought, the epitome of calm and collected. Bian Yue was very satisfied with this. When the snowman was ready, her eyes sparkled, "I want to take a picture!" As they engaged in these mundane and plain activities, Bai Xu watched from the side, yet he couldn’t help but be infected by the happiness radiating from Bian Yue, smiling. Shen Jinci, a normally indifferent and distant person, had created an exceptionally cute snowman, probably because he put so much heart into it, making it lifelike. Bian Yue was fiddling with the phone Shen Jinci handed her, her expression serious, earnestly saying, "I need to find the right composition." Shen Jinci watched her with a smile. He originally wanted to touch Bian Yue’s face, but stopped as he thought about his hands chilled by touching the snow, so instead of caressing her, he tugged at the corner of Bian Yue’s clothes through the fabric: "What suddenly made you want to build a snowman?" Bian Yue said it doesn’t snow in Xiangjiang, and they wouldn’t know when they might see snow again, so they should take the opportunity now to build one and preserve the wonderful memory in a photo. "There’s no need to keep it just in a photo." Shen Jinci said, "Later on, we’ll make sure the snowman is well preserved and bring it back too." Bian Yue’s eyes shone even brighter, looking at him earnestly, "Can we really do that?" Shen Jinci said they could. Bian Yue’s happiness became even more tangible. Being pregnant, so her emotions were easily amplified by hormones. When Li Sihe came downstairs, he saw Bian Yue leaning in Shen Jinci’s arms, her eyes reddening as she said, "But even if we take the snowman back, it won’t last forever; it will eventually melt." Shen Jinci gently patted Bian Yue’s back. From Li Sihe’s position, he couldn’t see Shen Jinci’s expression, only hear his voice softly murmuring, "When the baby is born, we’ll leave it to Xiangjiang, and I’ll take you to the north of the Mainland, where it snows all year round, and we can live there for a year." Bian Yue’s mood was easily soothed. She seemed to realize how odd her previous behavior was, so she said with a hint of shame, "Don’t mind me, I was just talking nonsense." Li Sihe stood still, his fingers a bit cold. He wondered whether the warmth from the heater inside was unable to dispel the outdoor chill. As Bian Yue’s mood was pacified and she tugged at Shen Jinci’s hand to go inside. Shen Jinci helped Bian Yue up, and the two saw Li Sihe standing inside. Bian Yue smiled at Li Sihe, saying, "You’re awake! Jinci and I are leaving tomorrow; thank you for hosting us during this time." She had a smile that seemingly dissolved all past grievances. Li Sihe’s chest tightened at Bian Yue’s smile, feeling an indescribable bitterness. But in the end, with an equally calm smile, he softly said, "Take good care of the baby after returning; take care of your health." Bian Yue continued to nod with a smile. Shen Jinci remained silent. As he escorted Bian Yue inside, in the moment they passed by Li Sihe, their gaze met, both filled with complexity and shadows. Bian Yue was completely unaffected, smiling at Shen Jinci, "Jinci, I want you to read to me for a while."
