Pei Jing thought his actions were very discreet, but little did he know, Jiang Ran had taken in everything.
After tasting the little water droplets, Pei Jing smacked his lips.
Then, a disappointed expression appeared on his face.
It turned out that the taste of snowflakes was no different from that of water.
Seeing the disappointment on his face, Jiang Ran couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
"Little Jing, what are you thinking?" Jiang Ran asked him.
Being asked by Jiang Ran, Pei Jing wasn’t afraid, "Mom, the snowflakes look so beautiful, I thought they would taste good. But why aren’t they sweet?"
Hearing Pei Jing’s inquiry, the smile on Jiang Ran’s face grew even bigger.
"Because snowflakes are made of water, they naturally taste like water."
"Why does water turn into snow?"
"Because..."
Jiang Ran didn’t care whether Pei Jing could understand, she seriously explained the formation of snow.
Even if Pei Jing couldn’t fully understand now, he would eventually grow older, and these words, etched in his memory, would make sense in the future.
That’s how Jiang Ran thought, but evidently, Pei Jing was much smarter than she imagined.
After listening to Jiang Ran’s explanation, Pei Jing nodded earnestly, "So that’s how it is, I understand now."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran didn’t press him on whether he really understood or just heard it.
Anyway, it wasn’t particularly important.
When the snowflakes first started falling, it was still relatively light.
But just during their conversation, the snow started to fall heavier and heavier.
From small snowflakes, it turned into large, feather-like snow.
The snow fell so heavily that the ground was quickly covered with a layer of white, and the large feather-like snow even obscured their view.
A gust of wind blew, carrying large clusters of snowflakes, which landed heavily on the two.
Wang Cuilan opened a crack in the curtain of the living room door and called out to them, "Even if you want to watch the snow, come inside. Staying outside, what if you catch a cold?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran and Pei Jing exchanged a smile and turned around to walk into the living room together.
For convenience and to keep out drafts, a thick cotton curtain hung at the entrance to the living room.
They made it themselves, absolutely thick and warm, with white fabric embroidered with red plum blossoms, exceptionally beautiful.
Now, with the heavy snow falling, the combination looked even more delightful.
As soon as Jiang Ran and Pei Jing walked into the living room, they smelled the aroma of mutton soup.
In the kitchen, mutton soup was simmering, and because the door leading to the kitchen wasn’t tightly closed, the aroma wafted over.
Having just been outside in the cold wind, smelling this aroma, they felt warmed up all over.
In the cold winter, it’s best to eat more mutton to warm the body.
Their dinner tonight not only included mutton soup but also freshly made steamed buns and pickled radish strips.
The pickled radish strips were very crisp and refreshing, pairing with the mutton soup made it less greasy.
Although it was already dark outside, it was just because of the snow.
In fact, it wasn’t even 6 o’clock.
There was at least half an hour before dinner.
Jiang Ran sat down by the sofa, her gaze instinctively fell on the phone, and her brow furrowed slightly.
A few days ago, Pei Huai had said that he had things to do in the coming days and wouldn’t be able to call.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Jiang Ran had also tried calling over there, but no one answered.
Jiang Ran contemplated whether to call Xia Qiufang.
