A heavy snowstorm took over the skies. The Capital welcomed its first snowfall.

Song Xuanhe was woken up by his alarm clock this morning. Upon raising his head, his eyes were blinded by the white light shining in through his windows, forcing his eyelids to close again. Without any qualms, he fell back asleep.

The second time, he was woken up by Xiao Yuanmu's voice. "If you're tired, let's skip the birthday banquet at noon."

Typically speaking, with how soundly Song Xuanhe tended to sleep, a quiet voice like Xiao Yuanmu's that wasn't a customized alarm sound would rarely be able to wake him. However, Xiao Yuanmu's cold voice caused his eyes to immediately snap open. He even skipped over his usual habit of lazing in bed, mind blank, and instead, sat up in a flash. His face was flushed from sleep, and he was still in a bit of a daze. However, his voice was determined. "We have to go."

Xiao Yuanmu didn't speak. Er Gou, who had been very flustered but hadn't dared to wake Song Xuanhe because he was still deeply affected by Song Xuanhe's scolding in the past, sighed, sounding moved, 【I didn't think that you would be so serious in helping the big shot go back to his family, brother! I'm so moved!】

The System's voice had always been very loud. As it echoed through his mind, although it hadn't come in through his ears, Song Xuanhe still felt like his ears hurt. It immediately knocked him out of his daze.

It had been a really long time since he had heard this boorish, northern accent. However, Song Xuanhe didn't miss it at all.

Just a moment ago, Xiao Yuanmu could still see that Song Xuanhe had still been in a befuddled state. He hadn't expected for the other to so suddenly snap out of it. He couldn't help but smile. However, that smile disappeared very quickly.

Song Xuanhe didn't notice Xiao Yuanmu's expression, because it was already ten o'clock. While the birthday banquet was set to start at noon, out of politeness, practically everyone would arrive at the venue around eleven. Even if there was no traffic, it would still take at least thirty minutes to get to the hotel where the banquet was being held from the apartment. If there was traffic, the commute would become indefinitely longer. Therefore, he rushed out of bed to wash up and change before setting out.

By the time Song Xuanhe had finished his shower and had walked out of his bathroom, Xiao Yuanmu had already disappeared. Song Xuanhe hurried to change into his prepared suit and then headed downstairs with his coat in hand.

Xiao Yuanmu was currently chatting on the phone while leaning against the window. His gaze was downcast, and the look in his eyes was that of indifference. He was wearing a form-fitting dark grey suit, which highlighted his wide shoulders and long legs. Although he was just casually leaning against the window, he gave off a formidable aura. However, the tan jacket draped over his arm subdued this aura a bit, making him appear both mature and self-restrained.

Song Xuanhe raised a brow. This was to be expected from an outfit he had tailored to Xiao Yuanmu's measurements. No matter how you looked at him, he looked good. The most important part, however, was that his tailoring skills hadn't diminished despite how long he had been out of practice. If his teacher could have seen this, he'd definitely feel very gratified.

Noticing Song Xuanhe's arrival, Xiao Yuanmu hung up the phone after bidding goodbye to the other party. His gaze fell onto the other's coat that was in the same style as his own. He then put on his own coat.

Song Xuanhe spoke up while putting on his shoes. "I've noticed that you've been on the phone a lot more these days. Are they all calls from Yang Jie?"

"Mn." Xiao Yuanmu walked over to him and gave a quiet sound of affirmation.

"Yang Jie speaks to you in English?" Song Xuanhe asked.
