First Snow Day

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu usually have the same schedule and wake up almost at the same time.

When they woke up that day, they felt that it was particularly bright outside. They looked at each other and Zheng'er quickly got dressed, "I got up late today!"

Ji Xiaoshu jumped out of bed, stood on a chair and opened the window.

Yuan Ye, who had just sat up, looked at the white outside the window with a confused look on his face, "Am I still dreaming..."

Ji Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened, "It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Zheng'er blinked, stopped wearing clothes halfway, ran over to look out the window, hugged Ji Xiaoshu and cheered, and was hugged by Yuan Ye who rushed over, jumping and jumping.

The first snow in Beijing this winter came a little late, and the children were still talking about it a few days ago. Especially Ji Xiaoshu, who grew up in the south, has a special love for snow.

Yuan Ye exclaimed, "I haven't seen snow yet! It's so beautiful! Let's go out and play!"

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu grabbed Yuan Ye, who was about to jump out of the second-floor window in her underwear. The three of them quickly packed up and then jumped out of the window together...

The heavy snow was still falling, and the sky and the earth were filled with the joyful laughter of children.

Su Liang opened her eyes and heard the movement outside. She got up and saw Gu Ling pacing in the room with Gu Xiaonuan in her arms.

"Brother...Brother!" Gu Xiaonuan pointed at the window with her little hand and wanted to go out to find her brother.

Gu Ling tried to divert his daughter's attention with other things. It was cold, Su Liang hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't want to open the window.

"It's snowing?" Su Liang said and laughed, "Take the children downstairs to see the snow first, I'll be there soon."

Gu Ling carried Gu Xiaonuan downstairs, taking her little red hat, small gloves, and small blanket.

Cen Man and Lao Bai Wenming were chatting and watching the snow by the window on the first floor while waiting for breakfast. When they saw Gu Xiaonuan coming down, the three old men immediately stood up to greet her.

In the end, Lao Bai took the lead and carried Gu Xiaonuan over. Gu Xiaonuan wanted to go outside, but Lao Bai coaxed her by saying that it was cold outside and Cen Man wanted to close all the windows.

"No need to close it." Gu Ling said, "Let her see, and wait until the snow stops before going out." The charcoal basin was always burning in Yuanming Pavilion, which was very warm, and it was not cold to open the window for ventilation.

Lao Bai held her, and Cen Man and Wenming put a hat on Gu Xiaonuan, wrapped her in a blanket, and let her go to the window to watch the boys running wildly in the snow outside after they were fully armed.

"Master, come out! Let's see who's better!" Ji Xiaoshu held a snowball in his hand and "challenged" Gu Ling through the window.

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "Childish." Then he went upstairs to find Su Liang.

"Why don't you go out and play with the children?" Su Liang stood by the window and asked Gu Ling who came in with a smile.

Gu Ling hugged Su Liang from behind, "They are not my opponents."

Su Liang nodded, "That's right. But if you want to play, you can release Sheng Yue from the dungeon to play snowballs together. It should be fun."

"Tie his hands and feet and release him, let the children beat him." Gu Ling said that he would only accept this.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Although I don't trust him, this is too much. I think it's more interesting to tie your hands and feet and put you in the snow to see if you can break free and kill the children after they besiege you for a few minutes. What do you think?"

Gu Ling frowned, "Can you bear to see me being bullied by them?"

Su Liang smiled, "Xiao Shu will definitely like my suggestion."

Gu Ling nodded, "Actually, I like it too."

The children who were having a lot of fun were caught and taken back to Yuanming Pavilion to wash their faces, hands and eat breakfast.

"Master's wife, let's go out and play together later? Without Master!" Ji Xiaoshu suggested enthusiastically, with a blush on his face that was still blown by the cold wind.

Su Liang rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's face, "You should take your master to play with you. He actually wants to play, but he is too embarrassed to say it."

Ji Xiaoshu looked at Gu Ling with a proud face, "Master, is it true?"

Gu Ling looked at the interest in Su Liang's eyes and nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"If you don't tell us, how can we know? Right, big brother?" Ji Xiaoshu instantly got excited.

Zheng'er nodded, "Yes!"

"Master, tell us, tell us, and we will take you to play with us!" Ji Xiaoshu felt that he was okay again.

Then, Gu Ling stood up, picked up Ji Xiaoshu, turned him upside down, and said with a "threatening" tone, "One word for sure."

Su Liang laughed, only one word? The master is so cute.

The old people at the table were a little speechless, thinking that Gu Ling was too childish. Gu Xiaonuan clapped her hands happily, "Second brother, fly!"

But Gu Ling was not playing fly with Ji Xiaoshu. Ji Xiaoshu quickly begged for mercy, saying that it was okay, everything was fine.

But just after the meal, Ji Xiaoshu called Zheng'er and Yuanye upstairs to their room in the name of changing clothes.

"I don't need to change my clothes. They are not wet, and my shoes are not wet." Zheng'er said. They are all wearing leather boots that Aunt Yanyu specially customizes for them every year, so they are not afraid of stepping on snow.

Ji Xiaoshu said mysteriously, "Let's make a plan to defeat Master!"

"Why?" Yuanye was puzzled.

Ji Xiaoshu immediately started boasting, "Uncle Xiaoye is the strongest player in our team, so we must perform well. If we defeat Master, Master's wife will definitely reward us! Because Master's wife wants Master to lose!"

Zheng'er was stunned for a moment, "This is definitely not the case."

"No, it's just like that." Ji Xiaoshu shook his smart little head, "Think about it, Master is a monster who knows everything and is very good at everything. How boring! It's fun to lose!"

Zheng'er blinked, this was obviously unreasonable, but he still supported Ji Xiaoshu.

So, the three of them plotted upstairs for a long time. In order to disguise themselves, they even changed their clothes before going downstairs. They saw Gu Ling sitting next to Su Liang, and Su Liang was tying his hands with a rope.

"Master's wife, what are you doing?" Ji Xiaoshu ran over.

"Your master said that for the sake of fairness, he tied his hands and feet to play with you, but be careful if he breaks free. Whoever begs for mercy first will lose." Su Liang said.

The upcoming game is instantly more interesting.

Su Liang tied the knot and kissed Gu Ling's forehead, "Okay, let's go!"

Gu Ling stood up and looked at his feet, which were tied first, "How do I get out?"

"I believe that the master will appear in a handsome way." Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "I will cheer you on with Nuan Nuan."

Gu Ling nodded, "Then I'll try the legendary zombie walk." After saying that, he turned around and jumped towards the door. It feels weird, but quite interesting.

Gu Xiaonuan's eyes widened, wondering what was happening to her beautiful father.

Lao Bai complained, "Your father is stupid."

But Gu Xiaonuan had her own way of reacting to this sentence. She smiled and said, "Your father is stupid!"

The corner of Lao Bai's mouth twitched, and after a moment he couldn't help laughing, "Nuan Nuan baby is so smart! You don't suffer at all! It's great!"

The children who had already chosen the battlefield outside burst out laughing when they saw Gu Ling jumping out. Yuanye laughed and fell down in the snow.

Ji Xiaoshu cleared his throat, "Master, my disciple has to say that the way you appeared has already won the battle. But since it is a battle, the outcome must be determined by strength. Master, give the order!"

Su Liang held Gu Xiaonuan's little red hat in her hand and held it outside the window, "Get ready! Start!"

At the command, the children began to throw the snowballs at Gu Ling, approaching him as they did so, surrounding him. But it was agreed that they could only attack with snowballs and no physical contact, otherwise they would be sent off.

Everyone in the mansion gathered in Yuanming Pavilion to watch the battle, and some stood outside asking if they could join the battle. Su Liang even said no, wait for the next round.

At first, Gu Ling looked a little passive because his hands and feet were restrained, but while he was accurately dodging the incoming snowballs and untying the ropes of his hands and feet, he still stood and did not fall down, looking calm and composed.

Three against one, and the children's paths are difficult to guess, so Gu Ling can't always avoid them. But as Ji Xiaoshu said, Yuanye was the main attacker, and Gu Ling only needed to dodge Yuanye's attacks. The two children's attacks were not strong enough, so it was neither painful nor itchy when they landed on him.

Knowing that once Gu Ling untied his hands, they had no chance of winning, Ji Xiaoshu felt that the attack was not going well and changed his strategy, "Quick! Bury Master's feet!"

Yuanye and Zheng'er immediately gave up throwing snowballs at Gu Ling, and together with Ji Xiaoshu, piled all the surrounding snow at Gu Ling's feet, stepping on it as hard as they could, trying to trap Gu Ling.

"Dad! Come on!" Gu Xiaonuan cheered from the window.

Gu Ling didn't struggle and continued to focus on untying the rope on his hand. It was not easy because Su Liang didn't release the water. The children checked and they didn't know how to untie it.

Wen Ming said cheerfully, "It's really lively. Let Ran'er and the others go out to play later and build a snowman for Nuan Nuan."

Nangong Qian expressed her interest and she couldn't wait.

Not long after, when the children buried the snow up to Gu Ling's knees and stepped firmly on it, Gu Ling finally untied the rope from his hand.

"Run!" Ji Xiaoshu reacted quickly.

Gu Ling followed the rules and did not catch them. Instead, he easily dug through the snowdrifts that the children had stepped on, freeing his own feet.

At this time, Ji Xiaoshu, Zheng'er, and Yuan Ye had already hid behind their "fortress" and took a defensive posture.

"No, Xiaoshu, this is useless, we have to take action!" Zheng'er saw Gu Ling coming over and felt that there was something wrong with their strategy.

Ji Xiaoshu nodded immediately, "Elder brother is right! Uncle Xiaoye, run! Don't be caught by Master!"

So, they ran in different directions and started a chase, and Ji Xiaoshu ran directly into the woods.

Gu Ling first grabbed Zheng'er and rubbed his little hand, "You are captured, go to the prisoner of war camp."

Zheng'er ran into Yuanming Pavilion obediently.

Next is the wilderness. He ran very fast, but he still didn't surpass Gu Ling.

"Xiaoshu, I've been arrested!" Yuanye shouted.

"Go find Nuannuan." Gu Ling patted his head.

Then Yuanye happily rushed back to Yuanming Pavilion, "Xiaoshu, it's up to you!"

Ji Xiaoshu, who had climbed up a tree to hide, was thinking about whether surrendering voluntarily would be less embarrassing. Otherwise, he will definitely be carried back by the master backwards... If the master doesn't look for him, it will be even worse. It's so cold and he can't move, and he will turn into a snowman.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Xiaoshu didn't hear the footsteps. He lowered his head and saw Gu Ling standing under the tree, reaching out to him, "Come down."

"I don't!" Ji Xiaoshu shook his head subconsciously.

"Oh, forget it." Gu Ling turned around and left.

Ji Xiaoshu:......

"Master, come back!"

Gu Ling stopped.

Ji Xiaoshu coughed lightly, "Go back to your original position and catch me."

"No." Gu Ling refused more gracefully.

So, Ji Xiaoshu looked at the distance, then stood up from the tree, used his strength, took off, and aimed at Gu Ling...

As a result, the warm embrace of the master as expected did not come into contact. Ji Xiaoshu watched Gu Ling take a step back...

Just when Ji Xiaoshu thought that his face was about to have a close contact with the snow, Gu Ling hooked his feet again, raised his body, and then hugged Gu Ling's neck, and heard Gu Ling's cold voice, "Your hand touched me first, you lose."

Ji Xiaoshu was speechless and hugged Gu Ling tightly, "Master, you are just being stubborn, you just like me the most!"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Impossible, I like your master's wife the most."

Ji Xiaoshu smiled, "Ah, what a coincidence, I also like my master's wife the most."

Everyone watched Gu Ling holding Ji Xiaoshu back, a harmonious scene, and laughed. As a result, when the master and apprentice entered the door and quickly separated, Ji Xiaoshu cleared his throat and said, "I declare that the winner of this round is, my master...mother!"

Zheng'er gave Ji Xiaoshu a thumbs up: ...Not admitting cowardice and avoiding being beaten, very good.

Soon, the girls went out with the children to build a snowman, saying that they wanted to build a snow house for Nuannuan. Soon, the old man joined them.

"Master, you are not going?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I'm going to release Sheng Yue." In fact, he wanted to go, but he had something to do for the time being, so he would play later.

"I seem to have forgotten Yan Shiba." Su Liang coughed lightly.

Gu Xiaonuan was wrapped tightly and taken to play, and the couple went to their own business.

When Su Liang walked into Wen Ran's yard, he heard Yan Shiba's weak howl from the room, "Is there anyone... Is there anyone... stinky girl... ghost girl... I know you don't have me in your heart..."

Su Liang felt a little guilty, pushed the door in and apologized immediately.

Yan Shiba looked resentful, "I dreamed that I had an invincible and lovely baby girl, tell me quickly, it's not a dream."

Su Liang shook his head, "It was indeed a dream, I have it, you don't."

Yan Shiba grabbed the pillow to throw at Su Liang, but the pillow fell to the ground, and she started coughing again.

Su Liang packed up Yan Shiba, asked her to wear thick clothes, pushed the wheelchair prepared last night, carried her to sit on it, and covered her with a blanket.

"It's snowing." Su Liang pushed Yan Shiba out.

Yan Shiba closed her eyes, "I hate snow." She was trapped in Wolong Snow Mountain before, and those days were unbearable to look back on.

"The snow at home is different, what are you afraid of." Su Liang said.

Yan Shiba opened her eyes in a huff, "Who said I'm afraid? I just feel it's dazzling!"

When he got closer to Yuanming Pavilion and saw people playing in the snow, Yan Shiba was slightly stunned, "This... is all yours?"

Su Liang corrected, "Ours."

Yan Shiba smiled, "I saw my daughter, so cute." Gu Xiaonuan was set off by the white snow like a little elf.

Su Liang pushed Yan Shiba into Yuanming Pavilion and brought her breakfast. Wen Ran also boiled medicine for Yan Shiba on the stove.

"I want to get better quickly, I don't want to be like a cripple." Yan Shiba looked out the window, with a little more yearning in his eyes. If she was alive and kicking now, she would definitely be able to have fun with Nuannuan. Although snow is common, childhood is not common. She has never had such simple happiness in her life...

...

Gu Ling untied the chains on Sheng Yue's feet and released his two subordinates, asking them to wait outside the mansion.

Gu Ling took Sheng Yue closer to Yuanming Pavilion. Sheng Yue looked at the lively and warm scene, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Xiaonuan, "Your daughter is very cute."

Gu Ling ignored it, and Sheng Yue asked again, "Where is Chengyun?"

"Are you targeting him?" Gu Ling asked back.

Sheng Yue shook his head, "Although I said I have no responsibility for Chengyun, I am not so cold-blooded. After all, he is my brother."

"Hypocrisy." Gu Ling said.

"It's up to you to believe it or not." Sheng Yue said.

When the two walked into Yuanming Pavilion, Yan Shiba was eating breakfast. When he saw Sheng Yue, he threw the bun in his hand at his face.

Sheng Yue reached out and grabbed it, took a bite, "Thanks."

Yan Shiba shouted, "Sister Liang, kill this bitch!"

Su Liang gave Yan Shiba another bun, "Calm down."

Yan Shiba took a bite of the bun in his hand, as if it was Sheng Yue's head.

Sheng Yue finished the bun in his hand calmly and looked at Su Liang, "Do you have any instructions for me?"

Su Liang's expression was indifferent, "It's not an instruction. You said you need time to think about it, and we gave you time. You can give us an answer after you think about it. You are leaving today. Before you leave, please tell us your plan, maybe we can give you some advice."

Sheng Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "What if I say that I will just act according to circumstances?"

Su Liang shook his head, "No plan, this is not your character."

"Of course you don't believe me." Sheng Yue's eyes were deep, "You want to know how I will tell Mo Yan that you are his grandson How can I persuade Mo Yan not to capture innocent people, and even if Mo Yan captures hostages, I have to find a way to rescue them under Mo Yan's nose? "

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. I don't believe you, but I believe your brain. Now I can tell you your plan."

Sheng Yue snorted, "Has anyone ever said that you are so meticulous that it's scary?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Not as good as my man."

Sheng Yue was a little speechless, "You don't have to show intimacy in front of me."

Su Liang's eyes were cold, "If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will think you are making up a story in your mind and waiting to deceive me. "

"You think too highly of me for coming up with a story that can fool you in such a short time." Sheng Yue looked at the soup bowl on the table, "I want to drink a bowl of soup."

Yan Shiba immediately scolded him, "Drink your head!" Then Yan Shiba turned around and asked Gu Ling, "By the way, where is Chengyun? Where is he? This bitch said he is Chengyun's brother, I don't believe it!"

Su Liang nodded, "I guess so." Then he pushed the soup bowl directly in front of Sheng Yue.

"Where is my brother Xiaoyun?" Yan Shiba asked again.

Sheng Yue picked up the soup bowl, put it down after drinking it, looked at Yan Shiba and said, "Chengyun will not like someone with a bad record like you, just like he will not recognize me as his brother."

Yan Shiba sat not far from Sheng Yue, picked up the bowl and smashed it on his head, "Shut up, bitch!"

Sheng Yue raised his hand to wipe his face, his face still calm, looked at Su Liang and said, "Thank you for the soup. I can tell you my plan, it would be even better if you can give some suggestions."
