Chapter 763 - Romance in the Snow
The Mrs. Xi also knew that Chu Yan was coming, so of course she welcomed him. What she liked the most now was accompanying the young people to a bustling place.
In the hall, when Zhan Xiyang sat down, he indeed received a hint from Xi FengHan that he would work harder tonight and see if he could get a good impression from Chu Yan.
Zhan Xiyang laughed and replied. He really couldn"t force anything now, Chu Yan had a boyfriend, would he not look like a man after all?
Therefore, he chose to let nature take its course and would not force it.
It was still half an hour before dinner, at this time, three women walked over from the side hall. Chu Yan said to Mrs. Xi, "Aunt, I heard from Hai Yue just now that the banyan tree in your courtyard is already over a hundred years old. I want to go out and take a look."
"That"s right!" It"s been a hundred years. It"s the oldest tree in the city. It"s just a little cold outside. "
Just then, Zhan Xiyang stood up and said to Chu Yan, "I"ll go with you."
Chu Yan was startled, but at the same time, she happily agreed, "Alright!"
With that, Chu Yan directly walked to the door, she frowned her brows and said to her: "Don"t you dare put on the overcoat?"
When Chu Yan came over, she was wearing an overcoat and was given to a servant to hang on a hanger. She quickly regained her senses and laughed, "Oh! "That"s right!"
Chu Yan hadn"t even brought it over when Zhan Xiyang had already taken the initiative to help her take her coat and personally put it on, causing his to feel a little embarra.s.sed in front of all these people. She still hadn"t recovered from his shock when Zhan Xiyang took one of his scarves and wrapped it around her neck.
Chu Yan"s body stiffened as she lowered her head to look at the scarf. Luckily, her girlfriend didn"t give her that scarf, otherwise she really wouldn"t be able to wear that scarf of his.
Everyone who was sitting on the sofa in the hall saw this scene. Xi FengHan and his wife were naturally aware of it, but even Cheng Liyue and Gong Yexiao had already seen through it. Mrs. Xi and old man Zhan looked at each other and felt that Xi Yang was a sensible and considerate child.
She pushed the door open and came out. Zhan Xiyang also put on his coat and the two of them walked in the evening at Xi Family"s Mansion and saw that the surroundings were already lit up with red lights. Under the night sky, the hundred-year old banyan tree was like a huge umbrella that protected the entire courtyard.
Chu Yan wowed, and raised her head. In order to clearly see the appearance of the great banyan tree, she couldn"t help but spin around the tree like a child.
Zhan Xiyang"s gaze looked at her, and the corner of his mouth slightly bent. After a few rounds, Chu Yan, whose head was a little dizzy, moved his gaze onto Zhan Xiyang, and the impact of the collision almost caused her to choke and fall to the side. Zhan Xiyang hurriedly reached out and grabbed her slender lumbar region, helping her to stand steadily.
"Your feet aren"t ready yet, so why are you still spinning around?" Zhan Xiyang immediately complained.
Chu Yan laughed like a child, her gaze meeting his deep eyes. She was startled for a few seconds, then retreated a step, "Nothing."
Chu Yan walked under the banyan tree. She reached out and gently stroked the huge branches of the banyan tree, and even feebly reached out her hand to measure her height. At this moment, the suffocating temperature of the banyan tree was just a few degrees below zero.
Chu Yan"s gaze immediately turned over in alarm, and when it landed on the hand she was holding, she slowly turned towards the man beside her. When she wanted to pull him back, Zhan Xiyang did not let her.
Chu Yan"s breathing hastened, her hands were cold like ice pops. Zhan Xiyang said to her, "Put your hands in your pockets, you will get frostbite if you do that."
With that, he held her hand and put it into his pocket. The warm feeling enveloped Chu Yan"s palm and her heart started to race. What was this man doing?
However, she actually didn"t want to leave.
She was like a thief, stealing her boyfriend who had once belonged to someone else, feeling his care.
Both of them were standing together, when suddenly snow began to fall from the sky, Chu Yan immediately looked up and blinked her eyes. Although it was extremely cold, she had forgotten about it, the atmosphere at that moment was extremely romantic.
Zhan Xiyang"s gaze landed on a few snowflakes that floated in the center of her hair. They stayed for a few seconds, then disappeared.
Zhan Xiyang heard his heartbeat race, a fallen leaf suddenly floated over and landed on her wavy hair. Zhan Xiyang was immediately startled, he extended his hand and picked it up for her.
As Chu Yan looked at the leaf on his head, a layer of tears surged up her eyes. Because this kind of action, the man in her heart had done this before, and the current scene was exactly the same as what she remembered. It was just that the man beside her had changed.
Zhan Xiyang felt the cold sensation of the temperature, and immediately pulled her up, "Let"s go back, if we continue like this, you will get cold."
Chu Yan was like a child as she was pulled towards the direction of the hall. When she was about to reach the door, her hands struggled for a moment, and Zhan Xiyang very cooperatively let go of her hands. The two of them entered the hall together.
The warmth in the hall caused the two of them to take off their coats. On the sofa, Gong Yuning"s young and tender voice made the entire hall burst into cheers. Everyone"s eyes were focused on this little guy.
"Yuning, what kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?" Mrs. Xi asked as she pulled her granddaughter into her arms with a smile.
Gong Yuning blinked her big eyes and thought about it seriously, then she smiled and said, "I want to be a big celebrity."
couldn"t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that she normally couldn"t be too engrossed with watching TV, while Gong Yexiao looked at his daughter lovingly. No matter what she wanted to do in the future, he would support her and protect her.
Chu Yan sat at the side and handed the warm baby over to her. Chu Yan really needed it, because her hands were so cold that she couldn"t take it anymore. She hugged the warm baby and looked at the cute little girl with her.
After seeing Gong Yuning"s little friend, most likely all the women had the urge to give birth to a baby, because she was too beautiful. Her pair of big eyes seemed to hide the stars in the sea, and when they blinked, it was really adorable.
Gong Yuze was reading novels by the side. He wasn"t reading normal novels, he was reading English versions of Western novels instead. Usually, his hobby would be reading books.
