She lay in bed, tossing and turning.
It was a sleepless night.
…
It was already Christmas, and it usually snows during wintertime in N City. Su Yue woke up early to settle some orders and worked until the afternoon. She didn't even have time to enjoy a sip of water.
"Mommy, play outside."
It stopped snowing in the morning. The sun was out too, and the heaps of snow on the roads made Xiaojiao's heart flutter.
She held Su Yue's hand and insisted that she bring her out.
Su Yue stopped working and smiled at Xiaojiao. "Xiaojiao, where do you want to go?"
Her helper had gone back to China a few days ago to attend her son's wedding.
They were the only people at home, and Su Yue hadn't brought Xiaojiao out because it had been snowing in the past two days. So, she made Xiaojiao play at home while she did her work.
Su Yue thought that it was about time for her to bring Xiaojiao out to play since it had stopped snowing.
