The snow had continued to fall until evening, finally stopping. Looking around, everything was blanketed in white, and the snow in the courtyard was already an inch thick.
This was even after the household servants had swept it at noon, which gives you an idea of how deep the snow must be on the roads outside.
Old Madam Chi joked, "I know you two wanted some alone time, but now, even the heavens want to keep you at home. Wait until the snow melts tomorrow before you go back, alright?"
Qin Yuji had no intention of leaving anyway, and had even made up the bed in the room. Now, teased by Old Madam Chi, her face turned as red as the apples on the table, flushed and exceptionally pretty.
The elders went to bed early, and by nine o'clock, the two elderly of the Chi family had already retired to their bedroom.
Chi Jingxuan and Qin Yuji snuggled on the couch watching a variety show for a while before getting up to go upstairs.
