Leaving Mo Qianni's house after breakfast, Yang Chen drove directly to the street corner where he had arranged to meet Zhen Xiu.
It was Christmas, and with the snow falling, the entire city of Zhonghai was filled with the festive atmosphere of carols and laughter. Many people dressed up as Santa Claus were promoting their shops on the streets, some even giving away small gifts to attract customers.
When Yang Chen saw Zhen Xiu, the girl was already waiting in the cold, wearing a purple coat with a fur collar and a knitted hat.
Rolling down the car window, Yang Chen called out, "Zhen Xiu." She timidly got into Yang Chen's car, but struggled a bit to handle the door, not being used to cars.
"It's supposed to be at nine, right? I arrived early, why are you standing here already? Look at you, your nose is all red," Yang Chen said sympathetically.
