There were not many activities on the first day. Ming Shu went back the moment it ended.

  It was snowing heavily outside.

  It was not easy to find a taxi in this weather. Ming Shu waited for her taxi to arrive before leaving the hotel.

  #I don’t want to go out during winter series#

  The taxi stopped at Ming Shu’s district. The moment she got off, a cold wind blew at her. Even her bones felt cold.

  “Thank you, Uncle.”


  Ming Shu closed the car door and walked toward her apartment.

  The road that just got cleared in the morning was filled with snow again. A series of footsteps appeared behind her.

  She could see someone squatting below her block from afar.

  She frowned and picked up a pace. She jogged to her block.

  “Chu Hui, what are you doing here?”


  The young man was squatting on the ground. He only had a thin woolen sweater on. He was shivering in the cold.

  Ming Shu grabbed him up and entered the password. She brought him into the building.

  “You…… are back?” The young man’s voice was hoarse.

  “Are you crazy! Has your head been kicked by a donkey? Why did you go out in the middle of winter? Are you trying to experience what it’s like to be an ice statue?”


  Ming Shu carried him to the elevator. When she opened the door of her apartment, she brought Chu Hui to the bathroom and threw him at the side of the bathtub. She turned on the hot water and scolded him.

  “If you die, I still have to spend money to bury you. Am I your enemy?”


  “You didn’t tell me the password……” The young man sat at the side of the bathtub. He curled his body and replied weakly, “I couldn’t get in after I went out.”


  Ming Shu asked him, “Why did you go out?”


  The young man stopped talking. He pursed his lips.

  Ming Shu glanced at him. She didn’t probe further. “Why didn’t you give me a call?”


  “I did…… but you didn’t pick up…… cough cough……”


  Ming Shu turned off the tap and tested the temperature. “Take off your clothes and get in.”


  The man looked up at her. His voice was soft. “Big Sister…… are you not going?”


  “Don’t die inside.”


  Ming Shu slammed the door and left.

  The young man looked at the closed door. His innocent aura disappeared and happiness appeared on his face. He took off his clothes and entered the warm water.

  Ming Shu stood outside the door and scrolled through her phone notifications. Chu Hui did call her a few times. She was at the event so her cellphone was set to silent mode.

  A sound came from the bathroom. The door of the bathroom opened.

  The young man had fallen on the floor. He was naked. He looked at his wrist.

  “Big Sister……” Chu Hui realized that someone came in and tried to hide his body by curling up.

  Ming Shu lowered her head. He couldn’t see her expression.

  Chu Hui felt his body being lifted up. He grabbed Ming Shu’s next instinctively.

  It was dark outside. Chu Hui’s vision couldn’t adjust to the darkness. He felt himself being placed on the bed. A blanket covered his body and he instantly felt warm.

  “Let go.” Ming Shu pulled his hand away.

  Chu Hui blinked. He licked his lips. “Big Sister, can you stay with me?”


  Ming Shu’s hand paused in midair. She grabbed his wrist tightly and kneeled on the bed with one knee. She placed her other hand on the bed beside Chu Hui’s head.

  She smiled. “Why do you want me to stay with you?”


  Chu Hui was like a stubborn little child. “I don’t know. I just want you to stay with me.”


  Ming Shu’s finger moved down his arms and landed on his chest. “Do you know what would happen if you did this?”


  Chu Hui tilted his head. He pretended to know anything. “What would happen?”


  Ming Shu suddenly lost interest. She pressed him back onto the bed and covered him with a blanket. “Let go.”


  Chu Hui didn’t want to let go.

  Ming Shu pulled his hand off and stuffed it beneath the blanket.

  “Sleep. If not, get out.”


  Chu Hui wanted to grab her again but he shrunk back immediately after he heard what she said.

  Ming Shu let Chu Hui sleep on the bed. She had been sleeping on the sofa these few days anyway. She sat on the sofa and claimed herself down.

  Ming Shu sat in the dark for a long time. After that, she stood up and went to check on Chu Hui.

  The young man was already asleep. Ming Shu adjusted his blanket properly and went back to the living room. She lay on her sofa.

  She was shaken awake by someone.

  Chu Hui pushed himself onto the sofa. He didn’t have his shirt on. Ming Shu ended up hugging him with one arm. The posture looked ambiguous.

  “Chu Hui.”


  “Big Sister, I’m cold.” The young man’s voice was weak.

  “I will raise the temperature for you. Go back to bed……”


  “I don’t want to.” The young man was stubborn and unreasonable. She didn’t know whether he did it on purpose but his head was on her chest. He rubbed his head against her chest slowly. “I like Big Sister.”


  He hugged Ming Shu’s waist. “I want to sleep with you. Big Sister, can I?”


  Ming Shu said helplessly, “Males and females should keep their distance……”


  “I am your man from now on,” the young man announced. “You must be responsible for me.”


  After he finished speaking, he shrunk back into Ming Shu’s arms. “Big Sister, I feel cold.”


  Ming Shu had no choice but to help him.

  Ming Shu got up. Chu Hui instinctively hugged her tighter. “Big Sister?” he called in a delicate voice.

  Ming Shu ignored him. She got off the sofa and carried Chu Hui up along with the blanket. She placed him on the bed.

  Chu Hui wanted to get up but Ming Shu quickly lifted the blanket and lay down beside him. Chu Hui hugged her.

  “Go back to sleep.”
……

  Chu Hui had a fever. His body was really hot. Ming Shu felt as though she was hugging a furnace and couldn’t sleep the entire night.

  The next day, Ming Shu had to go to the hotel again. She started packing up. Chu Hui looked at her weakly. “Big Sister, when are you coming back?”


  “At night.”


  “I’m sick.”


  “Yes.”


  Chu Hui remained silent for a moment before repeating himself. “I’m sick.”


  “You deserve it.”


  Unromantic Ming Shu didn’t know what Chu Hui wanted.

  “You just leave me alone at home……”


  Ming Shu tied her scarf around her neck. “Shall I send you to the hospital?”


  “.……”

  Why did she say things like sending him to the hospital?

  Ming Shu wanted to leave so Chu Hui quickly called her. “Big Sister, come over here.”


  Ming Shu paused for a moment before walking back.

  Chu Hui pushed himself up. He was wearing a huge white T-shirt. It draped over his body and revealed his exquisite collarbone and fair shoulders.

  Ming Shu looked at him indifferently.

  Chu Hui kneeled on the bed and hugged Ming Shu.

  “Big Sister, I confessed to you last night.”


  “Yes. So?”

  Chu Hui leaned a little closer. “Are you going to give me an answer?”


  “Will it change your decision?”


  Chu Hui was stunned for a moment. He shook his head after a while.

  He leaned his head on Ming Shu’s shoulder and blew into Ming Shu’s ear. “Brother said that you must get what you like regardless of the method used.”


  Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “I didn’t know that your brother is such a person.”


  Chu Hui: “.……”


  “Time’s up. I need to leave.” Ming Shu pulled him away and smiled gently. She said in a soft voice, “Take your medicine yourself. If you get sick again, I will kick you out. Do you understand me?”
