Perhaps 10 years ago, the pollution wasn't as extreme. Compared to 2017, the climate wasn't as warm. On Christmas Eve, it actually started to snow a little in Shanghai.

Yu Dong was wearing a pink skirt, a furry white down jacket and a pair of big boots.

Her face was very pretty today, with make up to specially enhance her big eyes and pink lips. Men couldn't help but glance as they passed her.

Yu Dong looked at her watch again. The plane should have landed by now ah, how come he hasn't come out yet?

After waiting anxiously for 5 minutes, Yu finally saw a familiar figure.

"Xia Feng!" Yu Dong jumped up and waved happily.

Xia Feng in a black overcoat was stunned when he looked towards the shout. When he realized that it was Yu Dong, he first waved back, turned to say his farewells to his colleagues, then quickly walked towards her.

Yu Dong was too happy to see Xia Feng and couldn't utter a word past her huge grin.

Xia Feng looked at Yu Dong for a moment, before suddenly scolding: "The forecast said it was supposed to snow today, why are you wearing so little?"

Yu Dong blinked, then began to pout unhappily.

"What's wrong?" Xia Feng saw her sudden change in mood and asked.

"I specially dressed up today and that's your only comment!" Yu Dong felt wronged.

As Xia Feng listened to this, he smiled. Yu Dong was already 6 years younger than him and with her current appearance, he couldn't help but call himself old.

"Very beautiful, but next to you I look old, like an uncle." Xia Feng could see Yu Dong's bare neck, so he untied his scarf and wrapped it around her.

Truthfully, it wasn't cold in the airport at all, but Yu Dong liked the fact that Xia Feng gave her his scarf.

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Yu Dong playfully replied.

"I thank you!" Xia Feng showed a truly indulgent smile.

"Then let's go home!" Yu Dong made to pull Xia Feng's suitcase.

"Alright!" How can Xia Feng let Yu Dong take his suitcase, he reached over to take back his suitcase, turning around to hold Yu Dong's hand instead.

Yu Dong looked at her hand, stunned. She then looked up to see Xia Feng smiling, his head slightly bowed.

[ When I get back, I want us to try and see how far our relationship can go! ]

Is this the start?

Yu Dong was shy, but excited. She lowered her head and silently changed their hand hold to a 10-finger clasp.

Xia Feng felt her move their hands, her warm palm, soft and thin fingers, the slight caress when their palms touched. This caress traveled along his arm and went straight to his heart.

Because of the snow there was congestion in the roads, making Yu Dong unhappy.

"Why don't you get some sleep first, it looks like it'll take another hour to get home." Yu Dong felt depressed as she saw the sea of cars outside.

"It's alright, I'm not feeling sleepy, I slept on the plane." Xia Feng saw that Yu Dong's driving was pretty good so he praised her, "You just got your driver's license but your driving's really good."

"That's how smart I am!" The person with years' worth of driving experience didn't know the meaning of shame.

"Then you can drive to and from work. I'll get my dad's car late and use it." Xia Feng said with a smile.
