The manor gate was half open. Jiang Nanshu quietly slipped in, squatted down, and started grabbing snowflakes.
This thing can survive being frozen for days, and it’s quite pretty.
At first, Jiang Nanshu wore gloves while planting the flowers, but later, because it was too slow, she simply took off the gloves and inserted each flower into a potted plant.
It got really cold late at night.
Her hands ached from the cold.
Breathing in her breath, she muttered, “What’s the point of looking at roses in the dead of winter?”
She counted the potted plants beside her; there were about fifty flowers.
Jiang Nanshu thought that was about enough.
They looked quite impressive.
She then arranged the potted plants neatly.
Just as she finished arranging the last pot, the villa gate suddenly opened.
A warm, orange light illuminated the entire courtyard.
Jiang Nanshu was startled.
Lu Qingyan, dressed in thin pajamas with a woolen overcoat, noticed Jiang Nanshu outside late at night. His calm expression flickered slightly.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“Bringing you roses. You’ll see them when you wake up in the morning.”
Jiang Nanshu pointed to the ground, sneezed, and counted them one by one. “Huh, there are actually 52 pots.”
Snow roses are different from fresh roses; they are more stunning at first glance, with their crystal-clear appearance and clean, pure beauty.
Meeting Jiang Nanshu’s clear almond-shaped eyes, Lu Qingyan was speechless.
He noticed her hands were red from the cold, and his hands, hanging by his sides, were slightly curled up.
“You can just put a few roses in the snow by the door. There’s no need to go through all this trouble and make things difficult for yourself.”
Jiang Nanshu waved her hand: “Didn’t I say I’d make it up to you? Of course, I’ll give you the best. Fresh roses will look dull and unattractive if frozen overnight. This snow rose is something I learned in a video tutorial. It’s very simple and not troublesome.”
“Don’t do such stupid things again next time. I don’t like it.” Lu Qingyan said calmly.
Jiang Nanshu stared at him in astonishment.
“Come in.”
“No need. I’m going back to school right away.”
“Come in. Don’t make me say it a third time.” Lu Qingyan glanced coldly at Jiang Nanshu and walked directly into the villa.
[The male lead’s favorability value increased by 85%.]
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She touched her nose and returned to the familiar villa.
The air conditioning was on inside, instantly dispelling the chill from Jiang Nanshu’s body.
A woolen coat was tossed directly onto her head, carrying a faint scent of cedarwood.
Jiang Nanshu frantically pulled the coat off her head.
“There aren’t any extra beds or blankets here, so you’ll have to make do on the sofa for the night and leave first thing tomorrow morning.” Lu Qingyan didn’t waste any words.
He then disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Jiang Nanshu glanced at the time. It was already 11:30.
The school had already closed its gates.
If she wanted to go in, she could try to talk to the dorm supervisor.
But it was clearly unnecessary, because she was terribly cold, and her head was spinning.
Even with the coat Lu Qingyan had thrown at her, she felt cold, and her hands ached terribly.
While she was half asleep, she felt someone applying medicine to her hand, but her eyelids were too heavy to open.
The chill in her body vanished completely, and she felt as if she were sleeping in a warm cotton ball.
In a daze, Lu Qingyan seemed to be sitting right in front of her.
“Lu Qingyan?”
She rubbed her eyes, but there was no one in front of her. Jiang Nanshu sat up, the wool coat replaced by a light down comforter.
Outside, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Jiang Nanshu checked the time. It was 7:30 in the morning.
She folded the comforter neatly and quietly left.
…
The snow in Beijing continued intermittently for five more days.
On the sixth day, the sun shone warmly.
Jiang Nanshu faced her final exams.
Also arriving was news that Lu Qingyan had gone abroad.
