Lin'an City, one of the most prosperous cities in the empire, is still bustling with traffic and people coming and going even after nightfall.

Although it is not a capital city, there are more princes and nobles than capital city. Although the luxurious buildings here are not as good as the imperial palace, they are not comparable to any other big city.

On the bustling streets, hawking sounds came, everything you eat, drink and play is dazzling.

There are even door shops filled with strange things, such as some glowing flowers and plants, floating weapons and swords, and even some strange-looking animals.

A young tiger locked in a cage raised his head and looked at the crowd outside. It had no king-shaped pattern on its forehead, but had a vertical eye. Every time it opened and closed, a divine light overflowed, causing pedestrians around to stop, and some noble children came forward to interrogate the price.

There were also snakes with wings spitting out letters, and their two fangs made people feel cold in their hearts. They couldn't help but be watched by some people, and were finally bought by a man in black robe.

In an inconspicuous small corner of Lin'an City, there is a small inn located, with two big characters "Haige" engraved on the signboard.

It was late at night, and it was winter again. A dilapidated oil lamp was lit in the inn, and the lights were swaying, as if they were about to go out at any time.

Although the inn is small and the tables and chairs are worn, it can be seen that the shopkeeper is a diligent person. Each table and chair are spotless and neatly arranged.

With a creaking sound, the inn door was pushed open, and two middle-aged men walked in, with a boy behind them.

"Shopkeeper! Let's stay!" The man who came in shook the snow on his clothes.

The shopkeeper quickly stood up to greet him. It was obvious that there were not many people staying here. After all, there were all kinds of inns in Lin'an City, and his small inn was really inconspicuous.

"How many rooms do you want for three?" The wind outside was a little strong, and a cold air blew in with the three people who opened the door. The shopkeeper was old and couldn't help but shivered.

"San the room!" the young man said first, afraid that he would have to squeeze into sleep with his two uncles again if he said it was too late. Before his two uncles could stop him, he had already followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

"Xinghun, it's so late, you'd better not go. It's so cold at night. Your little body may not be able to stand the wind and snow at night. If you get sick, how can we explain to your parents when we go back?"

"Tsk, what do you know? Our Star Soul has not seen each other for a day. It's like three autumns. It's been three years since he has not seen his sister Ziluan. How many autumns have it been."

"Uncle Li, don't make fun of me. This time my father asked you to accompany me to propose marriage. Isn't it all a family sooner or later? Besides, when I entered the city just now, I told Qian'er that if I don't go now, Ziluan will wait for me in vain."

"Go and go. Although Lin'an City is not the capital, it is safe and there is no curfew. However, I'm afraid you can't stand this weather."

"I'll wear more..." Before I could finish my words, the young man picked up his cloak and rushed out of the door. It was about to reach Xu hour, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.

The young man was named Shen Xinghun. He had been married to the Zi family lady in Lin'an City since childhood. He should have married the Zi family lady three years ago, but there was a change in the family, which delayed it for only three years.

Although the Shen family is not in Lin'an City, Shen Xinghun comes to Lin'an City for a few days almost every year. First, because he had a Shen family property in Lin'an City before, and second, it was naturally for Miss Zi's.

Although both of them are still young, they have childhood sweethearts since childhood and have a very good relationship.

The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier. Shen Xinghun tightened his cloak and rushed to the direction of the Zi family.

After turning a few alleys, I clearly felt that the streets here were much wider. This was the center of Lin'an City, where all the residences of princes and nobles were here.

Shen Xinghun is familiar with this place. Although he only comes to Lin'an City once a year, he almost goes to this Zi Mansion every day when he comes to Lin'an City.

Shen Xinghun knew that it was late at night, and even after entering Zi Mansion, he could not see Zi Luan, so he bypassed the main entrance of Zi Mansion and came to an alley next to the side door.

There are few people coming to this alley at ordinary times, and now there are no pedestrians passing by late at night. Shen Xinghun discovered this place because he had played with Zi Luan several times too late.

There was heavy snow in the sky. Shen Xinghun leaned against the old willow tree for a moment, staring at the side door of the Zi Mansion, waiting. Half an hour passed, and the snow fell on him, like a snowman.

With a creaking sound, the side door of Zi Mansion was gently pushed open, and Shen Xinghun walked over quickly.

"Sister Ziluan!"

"Shh! Sigh"

The girl blinked at Shen Xinghun, took his hand and walked into the alley.

Seeing that the girl was not wearing much clothes, Shen Xinghun quickly untied her cloak and put it on the girl's shoulders.

"Isn't it cold to wear so little?"

"With Brother Xinghun here, how could it be so cold that I was?" The girl stroked her hair that was splattered by the wind and looked at Shen Xinghun with her playful big eyes.

"It's Brother Xinghun, I've been waiting for me for so long, isn't it cold?"

"Of course I'm not cold anymore! I'm a man!"

"I'm not cold yet. Look at your hands, it's so cold!" Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Shen Xinghun's hand and put it beside his mouth, helping him to keep warm.

Shen Xinghun stood there and giggled, not knowing what to say. He felt the warmth coming from his hands. He felt that no matter how strong the wind and snow were, he didn't seem to feel cold.

"Zi Luan", Shen Xinghun gently called her name.

The girl looked up slightly, waiting for Shen Xinghun's following.

"The weather is so cold. I saw you today, too, or you can go back first, and I will take someone to your house to propose marriage tomorrow!"

"Don't! Brother Xinghun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been with me for so little time and rushed me away? I'll pay it back in the future? I won't leave!" Zi Luan sniffed, tilted her head and glared at Shen Xinghun.

"Okay! Isn't it okay if you say anything? If you don't leave, don't leave."

"Bao, you are the old man, you are the old man!"

"If I were an old man, you would be an old lady!"

"I dare to say that I am an old lady, I won't deal with you!" As he said that, he grabbed a handful of snow and threw it over.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew over, and not only did the snow not sprinkle on Shen Xinghun, but also made his head and face full of it.

"Look, I said you are an old lady, your hair is white!"

"Hmph! Then you can accompany me to Bai!" This time Zi Luan picked up a handful of snow and pressed it on Shen Xinghun's head.

"Hahaha, you have become an old man too!"

The two of them laughed and played, and their hair turned white in the snow, in the wind, and in time.

"Brother Xinghun, do you think if one day we really become old men and old ladies, we will still be together and have fun so much?"

"Of course I will be together, of course I will have fun! Why did I suddenly ask this?"

"Because, you are about to become a corpse!"

When Zi Luan heard this, she quickly protected Shen Xinghun behind her.
