A light snow had started falling again when we stepped out of the cabin. Tiny thin flakes drifted weightlessly in the air, catching glimmers of gold as they descended slowly from the evening sky. Bai Ye held my hand as we trod through the white forest floor, pristine without a single trace of footsteps. Snow crunched softly beneath our feet, and the hem of our long robes brushed behind us, stirring a small swirl of powdered whiteness.
We didn't speak, letting the peaceful hush of nature surround us. I had always loved moments like this with him—quiet, serene. It was as if the whole world had disappeared, and it was just the two of us, side by side, hand in hand.
I glanced at him. A few snowflakes had landed on his ink-black hair, fluttering in the light breeze from our walk. The sight of him was somehow more mesmerizing like this than usual, and I smiled a bit idiotically, not willing to move my eyes away.
My original plan was to make both of them shout their declarations of love at the top of the mountain… But it seemed like the winter wonderland called for a different vibe, so I ended up saving our godly Bai Ye from a moment of embarrassment ;) Can anyone imagine him doing something that silly?
While the two are enjoying their blissful honeymoon, I actually have a somewhat unfortunate announcement for you guys… I'm expecting a surgery in a month or two, which means that I'll have to start prioritizing health (and sleep) over writing in the upcoming weeks, and my updates will likely become quite unstable as a result. So please don't be alarmed if you start seeing me skip days once in a while! I have no intention at all to drop this book!
I'm very sorry for the disappointment, and I know how annoying this is given that I'm already the slowest writer you've ever seen… But trust me, I wouldn't have wanted to let this happen either if I could help it >-< Like always, thank you so much for all your support, and I hope you'll stay with me!
