It was already winter, and for Ji Xiaoshu, who had lived in the south since birth, this was the first time he had experienced the cold season. Each time, he would run outside to feel the cold air, only to come back shivering before reluctantly putting on more clothes.
One morning during breakfast, Ji Xiaoshu looked worriedly at the leaves falling outside the window, with the trees already bare. "Auntie, my dad has gone to the north, will he freeze?"
Su Liang laughed, "No, your dad is an adult, he knows to wear thicker clothes when it's cold."
"What about master? When will he come back?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.
Su Liang counted the days every day, so she answered without thinking, "If all goes well, he can return in ten days or half a month." If Gu Ling's rescue mission went smoothly and he didn't encounter any other troubles, he should be on his way back to Jiaye City now.
