Raelle woke up earlier than Shui Xian. She got her morning milk tea from the maid and sat down near the fireplace on the comfortable chair. She was planning on reading a little while waiting for Shui Xian to wake up. Since she knew he hadn't slept well yesterday night and spent the day running around with her, she didn't want to wake him up thinking he'd be tired.
But just as she was getting into her reading, her eyes caught sight of the scene outside. It was snowing. Usually, she would turn her attention back to reading without hesitation. But today, her eyes didn't move. Recalling what Shui Xian had said to her, she stood up and trudged over to the French windows.
Slowly opening the door, she stepped out on the deck. She extended her hand and the snowflakes gently fell on her hand. She closed her palm and looked skywards with her glistening eyes.
