The Lady's Sickly Husband

C69. Su Qi's Change

When Jian Qingyou left, it was already four o'clock.

In winter the sky got dark early. Mo Qianxue mainly did business in the morning and at noon. In the evening when the porters went home, there wouldn't be ships, so there was no business for her to attend to.

She ordered Yunyao to check out windows and doors and then called Ning Shaoqing and Juniang to get out of the restaurant and headed home.

Although Juniang was a little numb, she wasn't a fool. Seeing that the couple were going home together, she, a strong country woman, found an excuse that her husband was waiting for her to cook and ran away quickly.

Mo Qianxue knew what she meant and giggled behind her hand.

She took delight in the river bank line and glowing pink clouds above it. There wasn't chores for her to do at home, so she asked Ning Shaoqing to take a walk with her along the bank.

Ning Shaoqing smiled and didn't talk.

Mo Qianxue ran in small steps all the way to the river bank.

Ning Shaoqing shook his head, looking over at her and telling her to slow down. Now and then he blamed her that she, as an adult, should act like such a child.

The blame came out of his mouth, yet his eyes were full of love and he subconsciously sped up in order not to fall too far behind.

Su Qi stood on the other side of the river under cover. Today was the day her restaurant first operation. How could he not show up?

As long as he took a glance at her, it was good already.

Dark, dark be reed and rush,

The white dew turns to frost;

What manner of woman is this?

Lost?

Grin I ran up,

Grin I go down,

Upstream heavy, there she'd be

In mid water distantly.

Seeing Mo Qianxue cracked a smile, he felt his heart skipping a beat and smiled too.

Then, he saw the man following behind her like her shadow...

It was getting late and suddenly thin snow began to float in the air, swirling and falling on the skin, cold and tiny as mini thorns, like a dream-poker.

The soft dancing snowflakes momentarily turning hard ice gave people a clear mind and fluster.

It was indeed a beautiful picture of flakes of thin snow falling down and dancing to the wind. Mo Qianxue reached out to let it fall on her hand, but what she got was a chilly small dot of water.

She put down the hand, turning a circle, and smiled.

Ning Shaoqing smiled back at her lovely action.

Mo Qianxue felt that his smile was so warm that it was able to melt the snow, to trigger the Spring, to bewitch people and to enchant the whole world...

Snowflakes, a handsome man, a creek, and lush mountain. She really wished to keep the moment forever.

Mo Qianxue couldn't help stretching out her hands and made a frame of a camera, smiling like a flower, "Come on and laugh again..."

Ning Shaoqing didn't cooperate and still displayed a faint smile, walking over to grab her hands and blow warm air to them, saying with concern, "It's getting colder. Don't let your hands frozen."
