This time, he did not return alone. With him was her Third Elder Brother, Gu Jinlin.
Gu Jinlin was Third Elder Uncle's eldest son. He was now 23 years old and would be 24 after the new year. He was tall, suave and very handsome!
Gu Qingyao immediately smiled when she saw him returning with Gu Yunshen, carrying his bag. "Third Elder Brother!"
Gu Jinlin raised his head and saw his little cousin emerge from the courtyard door, wearing a padded jacket and scarf.
Gu Jinlin hurriedly shouted, "Don't come down. The snow is too slippery. We're coming up."
The Gu house was midway up the mountain and the road leading from the courtyard led downhill. It had snowed that day so everything was covered in a blanket of dazzling white and the road was a little slippery.
Gu Qingyao stood there motionlessly, watching Gu Yunshen and Gu Jinlin climb up.
