After eating quietly, Jiang Zhen took the initiative to suggest taking a walk to digest his food.
The shrimp dumplings today were especially delicious. Tan Ming couldn’t help but eat a few more. She was feeling a little bloated now, so she gladly agreed to Jiang Zhen’s suggestion.
In the area where the sunflowers were planted in the garden, a patch of sunflowers was still in full bloom. Li Mei and Jiang I lai had deliberately asked the housekeepers to plant them in different seasons so that Tan Ming could see the blooming sunflowers no matter when she returned.
The two of them walked out of the back door of the villa. It was snowing outside, and when they stepped down, they left a shallow footprint.
Tan Ming adjusted the fur coat she had put on when she left the house. “It didn’t snow yesterday. I was still wondering if it would snow today.”
There weren’t many snowy seasons in Sea City, but Tan Ming liked snowy days. The whiteness was pure and beautiful.
Although it was spring all year round in Xiyun, due to its special geographical location, not only was there a snow mountain, but there was also a higher chance of snow than in Sea City.
Jiang Zhen stopped in his tracks and squatted down. He stretched out his hands to gather the snow on the ground and began to rub and roll the snowballs.
“You’re quite lucky. I heard that it’s a warm winter this year, but a few days ago, there was suddenly cold air and the temperature dropped a lot. I didn’t expect it to snow today.”
When Tan Ming saw Jiang Zhen’s actions, she hurriedly squatted down and asked with interest, “Are you building a snowman?”
Jiang Zhen placed the ball of snow in his hand and looked at Tan Ming. “That’s right. Because the snow isn’t very heavy, the snowmen can’t be piled up, but the mini snowmen can still be piled up.”
When Tan Ming heard this, she was also interested. “That’s the body, right? Then I’ll roll the head out.”
The corners of Jiang Zhen’s mouth curled up slightly. He swept his gaze elsewhere and began to look for other materials.
The snowman was small, so it was easy for her to squeeze its head. Tan Ming placed the head on the body.
Jiang Zhen found a thin branch on the ground and folded it into a suitable length for the snowman to use as an arm.
Tan Ming ruthlessly destroyed a flower and broke a dried sunflower. She pulled at the withered heart of the flower and successfully found the seeds. She pushed them into her palm and raised them for Jiang Zhen to see. “I found eyes!”
Jiang Zhen was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and praised, “These eyes are not bad. They’re quite dark.”
Tan Ming happily pieced the seeds together into a circle and pressed them on the snowman’s head. “Big round and black eyes!”
Looking at Tan Ming’s childish look, Jiang Zhen’s eyes hid a hint of doting. He asked cooperatively, “What are we going to use for the nose?”
Tan Ming scratched her head. She didn’t have much experience in building snowmen. It was fine if it wasn’t snowing in Sea City. In the past, apart from school, she was either working or on the way to work. She had never tried something like enjoying life.
Jiang Zhen looked at Tan Ming, who didn’t know what to do next. Then, he looked at the snowman on the ground and said with an inspired smile, “Wait here. I’ll give you a special snowman.”
With that, Jiang Zhen turned around and strode into the residence. Tan Ming waited obediently. After a few minutes, she saw Jiang Zhen return with something in his hand.
Tan Ming saw Jiang Zhen first stuff the red dates into the snowman’s face like a nose. Then, he took out a small cardboard box with a small hole in the middle and placed it on the snowman’s head. He then pressed a little snow on it. Finally, he took out a small branch and inserted it into the small hole to stabilize it. A small hat was completed.
Then, Jiang Zhen adjusted the length of one ear of a mask and used it as a snowman cloak. The original tree branch was pinned to its waist as a sword, and its other hand was resting on its waist.
The snowman appeared to be an ancient swordsman. Tan Ming looked left and right and nodded affirmatively. She gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs up and commented, “The appearance is not bad. Now, we’re just short of a mouth.”
Jiang Zhen replied unhurriedly, “Don’t be anxious. This is the finishing touch.”
Jiang Zhen took out a box of matches from his pocket, took one out, and stuck it in his mouth. Then, he lit the match head. The image of a dashing swordsman smoking a cigarette was vividly displayed. Coincidentally, a breeze blew past, and the cloak made of a mask shook with the wind.
Tan Ming burst out laughing. “I have to take a video later to share!”
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows smugly, and the smile on his lips deepened.
This was the first time Tan Ming had seen Jiang Zhen so emotional. It was a little different from the calm expression she had seen in the past..
