It was winter, and the sky darkened very quickly. When George returned home, he suddenly saw two figures, one big and one small, not far from the house. Amelia saw him return and ran over on the snow. “Eldest Uncle, you’re back? Why didn’t you come back until it was dark?”

George smiled warmly and said, “I stayed a little late for a meeting today.”

Amelia stuck her head out. “My father hasn’t come back either. I haven’t seen him recently.”

George hugged her and said as they walked in, “Your father will probably be back later too.”

Amelia nodded and immediately broke free. “Then I’ll heat up the food for Daddy! By the way, Eldest Uncle, I’m bringing Eldest Aunt to charge tomorrow!”

George nodded and watched Amelia run into the kitchen. As she ran, she shouted, “Nanny Wu, where are you?”

Nanny Wu hurriedly came out with a smile. “What’s wrong?” The two of them walked towards the kitchen as they spoke.

George turned around and saw that Ling was still standing outside. He stopped and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The heavy snow fell on Ling’s hair and eyelashes. She could not feel the cold. She could not feel the temperature in the world. She looked at George steadily and said hesitantly, “Wash ”

George took a few slow steps forward and walked to her. He helped her brush the snow from her hair and glanced at the bottom of her pants. She was wearing a pair of pink cotton slippers that William had bought for her. They were clean. She was clean, so why did she need to shower?

“Let’s go in,” George said. However, Ling did not leave. She stubbornly said again, “Wash ”

George lowered his eyes to look at her. Ling also looked up at him. Under the light, the snowflakes were dyed with a warm yellow light. When they landed on his black cashmere coat, it made him look even colder.

Ling: “Wash ”

George rubbed her head helplessly. His cold voice softened a little as he said, “Alright, even if you want to shower, you need to go inside. Let’s go.” He took one of her hands and led her into the house as if he was holding a child’s hand. He half pulled and half coaxed her and called a maid to fill the water for her.

“Go.” George took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Ling refused to leave. She stared at him sullenly, as if angry.

George was speechless. He glanced upstairs and asked uncertainly, “You want me to wash?”

Ling stared at him without saying anything.

George’s mouth twitched. “Be good. Go with the servants. It’s not convenient for me.”

Ling pursed her lips and lowered her beautiful eyes. In the end, she obediently left with the servants.

In the room, Ling was soaking in the bathtub alone. She gradually slid down and submerged in the water. A few bubbles popped up. Soon, the water was calm, and there were no bubbles.

Suddenly, with a splash, Ling stood up straight. Water dripped from her pale and smooth skin and fell into the bathtub. She nodded affirmatively. “Alright, I’m done bathing.” Then she went out to put on her clothes.

“Hiya.” Seven grabbed the hanger with both feet and greeted Ling. “Have you eaten?”

Ling stared at it and opened her mouth. She stammered, “Wash ”

Seven: “Wash what?”

Ling: “Wash!”

Seven fluttered down and landed on Ling’s shoulder. He tilted his head and looked at her. Then, he shook his head. “Humans are so complicated. I have no idea what you’re talking about.” With that, he flew away.

Ling: This damned liar bird! He promised to teach her how to speak!

The next day, Amelia put on her clothes and shoes, washed up, and ran out of her room. Seven followed. With a flap of his wings, he flew up. It made Gold’s heart itch. He wanted to pounce and bite it off!

“Good morning!” Seven landed on Amelia’s shoulder. It had been too cold recently, so it couldn’t go out. It could only watch the snow through the window at home. It was almost suffocating.

Amelia turned to look at it and reached out to nudge its head. She said, “Seven, good morning.”

Seven rubbed Amelia’s hand affectionately and said, “Baby, are you an oyster?”

Amelia’s voice was soft. “What?”

Seven: “Because I’m shell-shocked with your beauty! I like you!”

Gold: It rolled its eyes speechlessly.

Amelia shook her head and ran downstairs. It was the winter solstice today. Grandma had said that she wanted to make sesame peanut glutinous rice balls. She wanted to bring her aunt to charge her early so that she could eat her fill first. When she came back, she could make glutinous rice balls with Grandma!
