"Little Dummy Xia, you fencesitter! Ouch… Gosh, Xiaxia, not down my collar!"
Qi Yanxi howled as Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia slaughtered him.
Wind carried their laughter far into the distance.
They were all tired a while later, when An Xiaxia seemed to recall something. She asked Qi Yanxi, "Does Mu Li live here as well?"
"Hm… yeah." Qi Yanxi frowned. "Do you want to see her now?"
An Xiaxia nodded. She hadn't met Mu Li once since the beginning of the winter vacation.
"I'll go get her. Wait here." Qi Yanxi went back home after that.
An Xiaxia went on rolling her snowballs. Seeing that she was enjoying herself so much, Sheng Yize went to help her as well.

Mr. Sheng had had a relapse and had moved into a nursing home, taking Lu He with him. They would probably spend their Chinese New Year there.
The only ones who had stayed behind were some servants.
