Chapter 203: Today He Said He Would Come for Porridge

In Luo City, goose-feather snow had already begun to fall from the sky.

On the streets of Dongma Street, children dressed in thick cotton-padded jackets chased each other across the vast white expanse, snowballs tracing parabolas through the air.

Little boys and girls were having a snowball fight; a little girl’s face was hit, and she stood there with a red nose and teary eyes.

The boys didn’t offer any comfort; instead, they laughed loudly at the girls for being noobs.

The girls turned and left in anger, while the boys remained immersed in their snowball fight, unaware that their childhood sweethearts had already walked far away.

To the boys, how could a childhood sweetheart be more important than the annual snowball fight?

However, when they grew up, they would give themselves a harsh slap to the face, thinking, ‘Why the hell was I playing at snowball fights back then?’

In the courtyard, as the snow temporarily stopped, Yaya wore gloves and, with her little bottom stuck out, rolled a snowball in the yard. Her snow-white fox tail swayed back and forth, and her upright fox ears were dusted with bits of white snow.

Lin Xun rolled a large snowball, and Yaya rolled a small one.

The big one and the small one were building a snowman.

Then, Lin Xun placed Yaya’s small snowball on top of his large one.

He then stuck a carrot into the snowman, used two branches for arms, and two black stones for eyes.

Finally, Lin Xun gave the snowman the signature smile of the Crooked-mouthed Dragon King.

Mission accomplished.

“Brother Lin…”

Looking at the snowman she had built with her Brother Lin, Yaya tugged at Lin Xun’s trouser leg.

“What is it?” Lin Xun rubbed Yaya’s head, looking at his and Yaya’s masterpiece with satisfaction.

Yaya blinked her eyes at Lin Xun. “Brother Lin… why does Yaya feel like this snowman’s mouth is so crooked…”

“Well…” Lin Xun thought for a moment. “Because he calls himself the Dragon King and was so annoying that someone punched his face crooked…”

Yaya: “???”

“Time to eat…”

Just as Yaya wanted to ask why the snowman was annoying, a gentle call came from the courtyard.

A young girl wearing a winter dress walked out carrying Preserved Egg and Lean Meat Porridge.

Lin Xun took the clay pot from his wife’s hands, and Yaya ran to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.

In the courtyard, wrapped in the clean white snow, the three of them ate the steaming Preserved Egg and Lean Meat Porridge.

Lin Xun and Yaya, who were already starving, buried their heads in their porridge, while Jiang Qingshang softly told them not to burn themselves.

Looking at her husband and Yaya, who seemed just like a family of three, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes overflowed with tenderness. If only time could stop at this moment.

“Husband, let’s go play at Luo Lake later,” Jiang Qingshang said with a smile as her delicate hand served Lin Xun another bowl of porridge.

The snowy scenery of Luo Lake was extremely famous throughout the entire Qian Kingdom and even the whole Qianye Continent.

During this time, local residents and even people from outside the city would specifically come to Luo City’s Luo Lake to enjoy the snow.

“Um, well…”

Hearing his wife say she wanted to go to Luo Lake, Lin Xun felt a bit of a guilty conscience.

Actually, according to Lin Xun’s winter travel plans, he also wanted to take Qinger to Luo Lake.

But the problem was, he had promised Bai Luoxue that he would go to her place this afternoon to have egg drop porridge.

“Does husband still have matters to attend to at the Academy today?”

Seeing Lin Xun’s troubled expression, Jiang Qingshang asked in doubt.

“It’s not that, it’s just that today is the last day to finish up Yaya’s homework,” Lin Xun quickly pulled Yaya out as a shield. “We can’t leave things half-finished.”

Hearing that Brother Lin was going to make her study again, the Little White Fox, who was still buried in her Preserved Egg and Lean Meat Porridge, suddenly felt that the porridge in her bowl wasn’t as delicious anymore.

Yaya’s snow-white long tail, which had been swaying in the air, also drooped down, and her ears went limp.

Raising her head, Yaya looked at Sister Qingshang with large, watery eyes full of plea, her whole gaze saying,’Sister Qinger, Yaya doesn’t want to have lessons.’

Jiang Qingshang smiled and rubbed Yaya’s head, pulling Yaya into her arms. “Today is the first snow, the most beautiful time of the season. Yaya won’t have lessons today. When we come back tonight, Sister will help Yaya with her homework, okay?”

“Mhm, mhm! Okay, okay!” Yaya nodded her head repeatedly.

Sister Qinger’s lessons were much easier than Brother Lin’s. Brother Lin always wanted Yaya to memorize books and equations, but Sister Qinger was different. Sister Qinger only dotes on Yaya~~~

“Well… alright then.”

Lin Xun’s mind raced; he knew it was impossible to refuse. If he made Qinger suspicious, he might end up kneeling on a washboard.

He could only go to the Tofu Shop across the street and tell Bai Luoxue if he could have her egg drop porridge tomorrow instead.

“Then husband, wait for me and Yaya. We’ll go change our clothes first.”

Seeing her husband agree, Jiang Qingshang happily carried Yaya back to the room to dress up.

In fact, Lin Xun always felt that his wife was naturally beautiful, and whether she dressed up or not made no difference at all.

But while Qinger was back in the room, Lin Xun quickly left the courtyard and headed to the Tofu Shop opposite.

Looking at the door of the Tofu Shop, Lin Xun’s heart raced; he felt exactly like a scumbag.

“No! I’m not a scumbag! Bai Luoxue and I are perfectly innocent! And at most, I’m just going to her courtyard to drink porridge! It’s over once I’m done drinking!”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun knocked on the door.

“Knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock.”

He knocked again and again. Usually, it wouldn’t take long for Bai Luoxue to come and open the door, but why was there no movement today?

Could she not be at home?

Forget it, I’ll write a note.

Lin Xun reached out and swiped at the ground; the white snow condensed into a thin sheet of paper. Then, Lin Xun used Spiritual Power to write on it and finally slid it through the crack in the door.

This white paper condensed from snow wouldn’t melt for two hours.

In two hours, Bai Luoxue would have long since returned.

After delivering the note, Lin Xun returned to the courtyard with peace of mind.

At the same time, Lin Xun made up his mind that no matter what, he would never agree to any of Bai Luoxue’s requests again!

And just as Lin Xun turned to leave,

Behind the door, the Little Calico Cat trotted over to the white paper made of snow.

The Little Calico Cat tilted its head, reached out a small paw, and patted the white paper with its little paw pads. The cold sensation was fun for the Calico Cat.

“Meow~”

Opening its mouth to take a gentle bite, the melting snow water made the Calico Cat shiver, but the taste was quite good.

“Meow, meow.”

In less than half a quarter of an hour, that white paper was completely eaten by the kitten.

Half an hour later, the young girl who had finished buying eggs and rice from the market returned to the Tofu Shop, only to see the lazy kitten lying behind the door.

Beneath the kitten was a small puddle of water.

“You’ll catch a cold.”

Bai Luoxue picked up the kitten, dried its fur with Spiritual Power, and carried it into the backyard.

In the backyard, the girl began to cook egg drop porridge. Today, he said he would come to drink it.
