"Haha, how could it be numb, with a beauty in my arms, I'm delighted!" Ge Dongxu burst into laughter when he saw Jiang Lili sit up abruptly, her face filled with worried self-reproach.

Jiang Lili, feeling embarrassed by Ge Dongxu's laughter, burrowed into his embrace.

This time, truly having a beauty in his arms, Ge Dongxu felt stirrings of desire and quickly said, "It's getting late, shouldn't you head home? To avoid your family worrying!"

"Ah, what time is it now?" Jiang Lili suddenly remembered she needed to go home.

"Half past ten!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Then I should go home." Jiang Lili spoke with a mix of reluctance and resignation.

"You, you, always hard to keep at home!" Ge Dongxu couldn't help teasing her upon seeing this.

"What of it? I just like being with you." Jiang Lili retorted.

"Then I'll try to come to town and stay with you for the next couple of days," Ge Dongxu said, laughing.

"Really?" Jiang Lili exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course," Ge Dongxu said with a nod and a smile.

"Dongxu, you're so kind! Now, I'll go home!" Jiang Lili finally let go of her reluctance and happily got out of bed.

Seeing this, Ge Dongxu smiled, got out of bed as well, and then drove Jiang Lili home.

Jiang Lili's family was well-off until over two years ago when her father, Jiang Yidong, was trapped by "friends" into gambling and had to mortgage and sell their house, nearly leading to a tragic downfall of his family. Fortunately, Ge Dongxu appeared and managed to retrieve a portion of the swindled money.

They managed to buy another house on Wangbei Street, although it was an old house and the location was quite remote, far inferior to their original one.

Nevertheless, it was a stroke of luck amidst their misfortune. From afar, as she approached her "new home," thinking back to those darkest days, Jiang Lili couldn't help but turn her head towards Ge Dongxu, her eyes brimming with deep affection and gratitude.

If not for this man by her side, leave alone college, she might likely be standing in a dimly lit alley at this moment.

The car stopped at Jiang Lili's house, and after she got out, Ge Dongxu drove away without going inside.

Because their relationship was no longer the simple senior-junior college relationship, entering Jiang Lili's home would indeed make Ge Dongxu unsure how to face her parents.

In the following days, Ge Dongxu did indeed spend his time either in Ge Family Village or discussing cultivation with his senior brother and accompanying Jiang Lili in town.

This made Jiang Lili feel so happy she thought she might just float away.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, New Year's Eve.

This year there was no thirtieth day.

Start of Spring coincided with the twenty-ninth of the lunar month this year.

Though it was the Start of Spring, no one could feel the warmth of spring. In fact, this year's New Year's Eve seemed colder than previous years.

In the evening, snowflakes even began to drift down from the sky.

The weather grew increasingly cold, as if the real winter in the South had just begun.

However, Ge Dongxu faintly felt the earth awakening, a hint of faint vitality emanating within the mountains, surrounded by frozen ice and howling cold winds.

Not just that, the vitality sealed within his body also began to stir, like a small grass about to break through the soil, a vigorous vitality spreading throughout his body.

"Spring has arrived!" Ge Dongxu, watching the snowflakes drifting down from the sky, smiled slightly.

"You, just standing there lost in sentiment instead of helping! True spring won't arrive till March or April! Come on, it's getting late, go fetch your senior brother," Ge Shengming, who was busy preparing the New Year's Eve feast in the kitchen, said to his son, who had been staring out the window without offering any help, then playfully smacked his head.

"Haha, Dad, you just don't understand," Ge Dongxu chuckled, then picked up some of the offerings prepared for his master, and left the house.

"This boy actually says I don't understand? I'm a farmer; how could I not understand these things?" Ge Shengming said indignantly to Xu Suya beside him.

"Isn't that obvious? If you understood what your son is talking about, you'd be just as powerful as he is!" Xu Suya gave Ge Shengming a sidelong glance, then mused aloud.

"Heh, if my son is impressive, doesn't that mean I am too?" Ge Shengming paused for a moment at her words, then boasted with a laugh.

"Well, that's true, your thick skin is definitely more impressive than your son's! Giggles!" Xu Suya glanced at her husband, then couldn't help but giggle.

The snow grew heavier, quickly draping Baiyun Mountain in a faint white shroud.

At this time, no one would venture into the mountains.

But a young figure was moving through the snow.

To say he was moving through the snow wasn't quite right; it was more accurate to say he was flying.

The figure was as graceful as the snowflakes, dancing with the wind.

Almost without stopping, Ge Dongxu "flew" to his senior brother's secluded spot halfway up the mountain.

"Junior brother, you..." When Yang Yinhou saw Ge Dongxu, his whole body shook violently, and his eyes shone intensely.

"What's wrong, senior brother? Is something amiss?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Amiss? The last time you came here, I felt the chill of a harsh winter, but now, just two days later, when I see you again, I feel a spring breeze. And your white hair is gone, your skin even seems to have become rosier," Yang Yinhou remarked emotionally.
