By the time Jiang Yexun returned to the Su family home, it was almost four in the afternoon.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard a knock on the door and opened it, she saw him looking a little winded, as though he'd been traveling for a long time.
"Where have you been? You look like you've been on a long trip," Su Xiaoxiao quickly said as she reached out to pull him inside.
Although she couldn't help but lean into him, the icy cold mixed with wind and snow made her shiver involuntarily.
Jiang Yexun quickly steadied her, placing a hand on her arm to help her.
"Let's go inside first. I'm not sure if it's going to snow, but the temperature's been below freezing these past few days."
After shutting the door behind them, Jiang Yexun rubbed his hands to warm them up before setting down the bamboo basket he was carrying.
