Bo Qiliu dared not speak, he looked at his grandson again: "Bo Yi!"
Bo Yi’s legs went weak, and he directly knelt down: "Grandpa, save me! I don’t want to go to prison!"

When Bo Yan woke up, it was already noon.
His usual sleep of seven or eight hours was more than enough. Although Xia Siyu went to bed earlier than him, this one woke up at about the same time as he did.
After waking up, Xia Siyu didn’t even wear slippers, she rushed to the window immediately, pulled open the curtains, and looked at the snow in the yard. It was nice, the snow was still falling, and the snow in the yard was already a thick layer. Originally, there was a distance between the house and the yard ground, but after a whole night of snow, the snow in the yard had piled up to be almost as high as the terrace of the house.
She grinned and said, "I want to build a snowman!"
Bo Yan wasn’t opposed: "Okay, but you need to wash up and get dressed first."
Xia Siyu darted back, first put on her shoes, then rushed into the bathroom to wash up at the fastest pace. In front of the bathroom mirror, Bo Yan and she stood side by side, both brushing their teeth, Xia Siyu looked at her own careless brushing posture and couldn’t help but laugh. She followed his rhythm and pace to wash up.
Once they finished washing, Bo Yan asked, "Do you want to have lunch first? It’s better to eat your fill before doing any work."
Xia Siyu hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.
It’s just that the extra dumplings they made last night were eaten by the two next door. It was a bit late to make other dishes now. Fortunately, Bo Yan had bought toast yesterday. He asked Xia Siyu, "Do you want savory or sweet?"
Xia Siyu thought for a moment: "Sweet, please." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Bo Yan nodded, took out four slices of bread, and opened a box of milk. First, he poured the milk into a dish, then soaked two slices of toast in it. After the toast absorbed the milk, he soaked the other two slices. Then, he prepared a frying pan, brushed a little oil in it, and placed the two slices of toast in the pan to fry until both sides were crispy.
After taking them out of the pan, he topped them with cut bananas, strawberries, and so on, prepared two small cups on the side, one for yogurt, the other for condensed milk as a dipping sauce.
While frying the toast, Bo Yan started grinding and brewing fresh coffee. Once the toast was served, the coffee was ready too. They had a simple meal with milk butter melting toast, paired with yogurt and condensed milk, one was tangy and refreshing, the other rich and sweet, when feeling slightly greasy, a sip of coffee balanced the taste perfectly.
After filling her stomach, Xia Siyu rushed out eagerly. Just as she was about to play in the snow, Bo Yan pulled her back: "Wait a minute."
He handed her gloves: "Wear these."
Xia Siyu let him put the gloves on her obediently and was about to take off again, but Bo Yan called her back: "Don’t be in such a hurry."
He then turned to the storage room to fetch tools: bucket, basin, for holding snow later. When building a good-looking snowman, doing it with just one’s hands is practically impossible, tools make it much faster. He even brought out a little shovel, the kind used for gardening in the yard.
Once everything was ready, he joined Xia Siyu outside: "What do you want to build?"
Xia Siyu thought for a moment: "I want to build a person."
Building a snowman is building a snowman, of course it’s a snowman. Bo Yan understood, a snowman, it’s that simple kind, with a plump body underneath, a round head on top, a carrot for a nose, two cookies for eyes, and two branches for arms.
Xia Siyu shook her head: "No, I want to build a reclining pose, with charming curves, a snowman with a particularly good figure."
Why don’t you just say you want to build yourself?
Bo Yan chuckled: "This is even simpler, you lie down first, give me a model, I’ll build around you."
Naturally, Xia Siyu wouldn’t agree, so the two began to build the snowman bit by bit using the tools. Xia Siyu started with the small shovel, thinking it was delicate. Then she gradually grew impatient and used the basin, finally even thought the basin was troublesome, so she started loading snow with the bucket.
She dumped the snow down, while Bo Yan sculpted below. The snow was first poured into the designated spot, then Bo Yan roughly shaped it. Xia Siyu also stacked alongside, when there wasn’t enough snow, she hurriedly picked up a small bucket to load more. Once she ran a little too fast, not noticing the slippery ground, fortunately, Bo Yan was right beside her, extended a hand to support her, and Xia Siyu stumbled onto him, both falling to the ground.
Despite looking disheveled, Xia Siyu’s first thought wasn’t to ask how Bo Yan was, nor to check if she herself was hurt, but to turn her head to look at the snowman. Luckily, Bo Yan had purposely avoided the spot where they fell, so the snowman was unharmed.
Bo Yan saw her actions too, and with no good humor threw a handful of snow onto her face: "You little heartless."
Xia Siyu retaliated with a snowball, the two began a playful exchange of defense and counterattack. When they finally noticed, the enchanting snowman on the ground had been stepped into a mess. Helplessly, they couldn’t make the previous enchanting model, so they had to go for the most basic one. This time Bo Yan went to collect snow, quickly loading several buckets. The bottom was solidly built, the top snowball rolled round bit by bit, after stacking the snowball, he refined it with a small shovel, shaping the chubby cheek on top.
With added chocolate chip cookies and a carrot, Xia Siyu also contributed a small straw hat she wore in the summer. It actually looked quite good. Bo Yan also picked two small branches, neatly placed on it, very nice, very perfect.
Adding a little more detail to the snowman’s body, carving clothes, buttons, when finished Xia Siyu even pulled Bo Yan’s scarf down to put it on the snowman. It looked so delightful, chubby and round, truly festive.
While building the snowman, Bo Yan’s phone kept ringing. He didn’t pay attention, Xia Siyu noticed it but since Bo Yan didn’t pick up, she didn’t remind him deliberately.
