Late at night, another wave of cold air came, and snow actually fell in the gloomy sky.
This is the first snow of the year.
Xue Ling did not sleep peacefully. Listening to the low rustling sound of snow outside the window, she tossed and turned several times before she managed to sleep until dawn.
After getting up, she took a slow walk in the living room.
The weather was so cold that the children stayed in bed and couldn't bear to get up.
The children didn't wake up, and the adults were reluctant to get up early, so they continued to hide under the covers and fell asleep.
Xue Ling didn't bother them. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and warmed himself by the fire while reading quietly.
"Auntie." A warm voice said.
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, and turned around to see Lin Qingzhi walking gracefully with a thermos bottle. His snow-white sweater made his skin look like snow, and the smile on his handsome face was warm and warm, like the warm sun reflecting the snow.
He walked over slowly and stopped in front of Xue Ling with his straight legs.
"Auntie, morning."
Xue Ling felt a chill on his body and couldn't help but ask: "Where did he come from? Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Lin Qingzhi replied with a smile: "A Chong and I agreed to draw a picture of the first snow. It happened that the first snow this morning was particularly beautiful. I rushed over after practicing early and planned to take him out to enjoy the scenery and paint the snow."
"They're all still asleep!" Xue Ling smiled fondly: "Young people like to sleep, and they are even more reluctant to leave the bed in the cold weather. There are more than a dozen people upstairs and downstairs, and I am the only one who wakes up."
Lin Qingzhi saw that Xue Ling's face was still a little pale, so he respectfully handed over the thermos.
"Auntie, this is the tonic I asked the chef to make for you. It is used to calm your nerves."
Xue Ling thanked him for taking it and praised: "You are thoughtful."
She put the thermos bottle away and patted the sofa chair next to her.
"Aqing, let's sit down and chat for a while."
Lin Qingzhi's eyes moved slightly, hiding without trace, and he took his seat calmly and gracefully.
"Auntie, some fate cannot be forced. Whether it is the fate of children or the love of husband and wife, the fate of fate may have already been determined. You should be more open-minded and take care of yourself."
"Okay, I understand." Xue Ling patted his arm and said, "Aqing, what I want to ask is about you."
Lin Qingzhi nodded lightly: "Auntie, feel free to ask."
Xue Ling looked at him with gentle eyes and asked, "You must have known the reason why your parents invited me to dinner before, right?"
"Yeah." Lin Qingzhi didn't hide anything, "My mother mentioned it, but I rejected it. She didn't give up and wanted to start with A Chong. I stopped her, but she didn't listen. Auntie, I'm sorry, here is it for you
It’s causing trouble.”
Xue Ling smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. The person who is really troubled is you, not me. The dinner your parents treated me to was very sumptuous and very delicious. We had a great time."
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Qingzhi whispered apologetically: "It's my mother who is too paranoid. My father couldn't persuade her, but he didn't hold the same idea as my mother. My father told me to apologize to Auntie, and also told me and
Ah Chong wants to be well."
Xue Ling nodded in thanks and asked: "Your mother's illness this time is probably related to this matter, right?"
"That's right." Lin Qingzhi knew everything and answered truthfully: "Dai Xiaoling committed suicide after being depressed. My mother was frightened and fainted, causing some old problems and is still recovering. After I got the news, I hurried over. After this
After a few days of recuperation, my mother has gotten much better. She tried to persuade me, but I still refused. She knew my temper and didn't dare to mention it again."
Xue Ling was secretly surprised and whispered: "I didn't know...it was so serious."
Lin Qingzhi lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice: "She grew up in a well-off family, and her parents and elders pampered her. Her own conditions are also very good, and with the blessing of the family environment, she has developed a good temperament
The strange confidence that you can get wind if you want it, or rain if you want rain. This kind of self-confidence cannot withstand a blow. Once it is hit, it will be completely defeated."
Xue Ling frowned and said: "She is your mother's goddaughter, and your mother watched her grow up. She suddenly became like this... No wonder your mother can't bear it."
Lin Qingzhi was not sympathetic at all, saying: "I spoiled my child, made her angry and frightened. In a sense, I brought it upon myself."
Xue Ling thought for a moment and said, "I've never heard you say that before, so I was a little surprised at first."
"I hate her very much." Lin Qingzhi frowned and explained: "There are very few people who can let me mention these two words, and she is one of them. She will affect my mood, and I am not willing to let her disturb A Chong.
Not only have I not mentioned it in front of you, I have not even mentioned it in front of Ah Chong."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise.
This is so!
The person who can make Qing Shao, who has long had "grace" and "elegance" engraved into his bones, say the word "annoying" is definitely not an ordinary annoying person.
From the side, this girl probably used her identity and arrogant attitude to annoy Lin Qingzhi.
However, A Chong has been with him for many years, but he knows nothing about this matter, which shows that it must be an old thing.
Lin Qingzhi had always respected Xue Ling and did not hide anything. He took the initiative to explain everything clearly.
"As early as ten years ago, she has been pestering me. I ordered her to be blocked and not allowed to appear in my sight. My mother had no choice but to adopt her as her goddaughter and gave her many good things to coax her.
.She is smarter and knows how to please my mom and my dad. After A Chong and I got together, she repeatedly made such excessive demands, which made me very angry. No matter how good she is, I will not let anyone hate me.
The woman has anything to do with my and A Chong’s child.”
Xue Ling nodded slightly and said what he was thinking very honestly.
"I am Achong's mother, and my mother's instinct makes me refuse. I love my child, and I understand his temperament, and I don't want him to be wronged, so there is no room for negotiation."
"Very good." Lin Qingzhi said warmly: "Auntie, it was my mother who offended you by making excessive demands. What you did is exactly what I wanted."
After a pause, he added: "I will never allow her to disturb A Chong. The person I, Lin Qingzhi, hold dear to my heart, no one can let him be wronged, including myself."
Xue Ling smiled lovingly and whispered: "A Chong is with you, we are all relieved."
Lin Qingzhi also smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, thank you. I like Xinyuan very much. I have already regarded this place as my other home, and I also regard you as my relatives."
With his words, Xue Ling was completely relieved.
"I am honored to have such a good child like you. I have long regarded you as a member of the family. Ah Qing, the third child has a simple and straightforward temperament and likes to act as he pleases. I have to thank you for your patience and be more considerate to him.
Think about it."
"It's as sweet as sugar." Lin Qingzhi solemnly said, "Don't worry."
Xue Ling raised his chin slightly and said: "The snow may have stopped. You go to enjoy the scenery and paint in the snow. I won't delay you. Go ahead, the third child is in his room."
Lin Qingzhi stood up and said warmly: "Auntie, let's come back later to have dinner with everyone."
"Okay." Xue Ling said, "Let's eat mutton hot pot tonight and feed everyone together."
