Shen Xian felt it when he was hit earlier, although it didn't cause an injury, it still hurt.
On the way back, Gu Chen's pace slowed down considerably. This mountain road was not as steep as the usual ones, but it was still full of twists and turns, with many short steep slopes.
Shen Xian found it quite difficult to walk, and though the heels of his short boots were not very high, descending was a bigger problem compared to going up. Fortunately, the road was not slippery.
The snow, whisking about in the wind, seemed to keep growing larger, the crystalline snowflakes making their way down his neck, bringing waves of coolness. White snow piled onto their heads and shoulders, layer upon layer, as the white in the world gradually increased…
Shen Xian raised his coat collar and fastened the top button, wrapping himself up snug and tight.
As for Gu Chen, his black coat remained unbuttoned, as if he didn't feel the cold.
