November 22.
Silver flakes of snow covered the earth, turning everything white.
At the Fan Family's Orchid Garden, today Gu Lan had rare free time, taking a break from her busy farming business to come and sit. Fan Wubing set up a warm house at the edge of the Orchid Garden, preparing various delicacies sourced from all over Celestial South, such as Shadow Light Fish from Qixia Lake, Golden Ball Mushroom from Baiyun Mountain, Thorny-toothed Porpoise from the Changyang Frozen Sea... all personally selected by him at the best times.
Planning to have a hotpot meal. When it snows, one must eat something hot; otherwise, even if the body isn't cold, the heart would get cold.
Gu Lan walked into the warm house, and while Luo Qingyao helped her remove the snowy cloak, leaned in close to her ear and quietly shared some good news about her senior brother. Luo Qingyao could come up with such a good idea, thanks largely to Gu Lan helping her regain confidence.
