Chapter 748: Snowman (2)
When Mu Tingfeng entered the house, he heard Joy’s excited cry. He immediately understood Joy’s desires. “Do you want to go out and play in the snow?”
Joy hurriedly nodded and looked at Mu Tingfeng with great anticipation. He was like a puppy that had just seen its beloved. It made people want to tease him.
Mu Tingfeng looked at his son’s expectant eyes. Although he wanted to agree, due to some concerns, he still answered firmly, “No.”
“Why?” Joy was stunned for a moment and asked loudly after he came back to his senses.
Mu Tingfeng didn’t give him the chance to continue complaining. Instead, he looked at Zhao Youlin, who was not far away. He sighed and said, “It’s cold outside. You can’t go out to play with your current body.”
If Joy wanted to go out to play, Zhao Youlin would definitely go out with him. Mu Tingfeng knew that Zhao Youlin was from the south and couldn’t stand the cold. Moreover, she was pregnant. It was snowing heavily outside, so he was really worried about letting her go out.
Zhao Youlin quickly understood Mu Tingfeng’s concerns. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’ll just wear more layers. I’ll stand by the side and watch you guys play. I won’t do anything. Moreover, Joy will rarely be here. Do you have the heart to let him just watch it through a sheet of glass and not do anything?”
It was the first time he had seen such beautiful snow. It was a pity if he just stayed in the house.
Mu Tingfeng hesitated for a moment. Finally, he was defeated by Zhao Youlin’s calm gaze and his son’s expectant face. He reluctantly nodded his head.
Joy cheered and began to circle around Zhao Youlin. Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin looked at their son’s joy and looked at each other. They couldn’t help but laugh.
Knowing that it would snow and it would be much colder here, Mu Tingfeng had already prepared a few furry coats in advance of the trip.
The former master, after knowing that Zhao Youlin and Joy were coming, also specially had people tailor-make warm clothes according to their sizes.
After Zhao Youlin chose a furry beige coat to put on, she also chose a pure white down jacket for Joy. The shoulder of the down jacket also had a furry vest, and Joy’s round face was buried under the vest. He looked like a cute little rabbit.
Seeing this, Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but lower her head and kiss her son. “Ah, my son is so cute.”
After being kissed, Joy reflexively reached out and touched his forehead. After realizing what Zhao Youlin had said, his small face blushed and he smiled, looking even cuter.
When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng held Joy’s hand and walked down, the servants’ eyes lit up when they saw the white, round bundle of Joy.
“Young Master, Young Madam, are you... going out?”
Zhao Youlin met their concerned and curious gazes and smiled. “The child has never seen snow before and wants to go out and play.”
The few of them came to a sudden realization. They respectfully went to the side and did not forget to remind them, “Then please do come back early. It will be especially cold outside after the snow has just fallen. Be careful.”
Zhao Youlin nodded gently at them. Then, she took Joy’s hand and walked out with Mu Tingfeng.
If there was anything fun about snow, it was making snowmen.
They wore furry gloves on their hands, which were very warm. Before they started to make snowmen, Zhao Youlin had specifically warned Joy not to take off his gloves, or else he would get frostbite on his hands. She would never let him play in the snow again.
The child agreed obediently. When he got outside, he was like a bird out of a cage. He happily picked up the snowflakes and looked them up and down in front of his eyes.
Zhao Youlin looked at her son who looked as if he wanted to bury his entire face in the snow. She could not help but ask, “Joy, what are you doing?”
Joy turned to look at Zhao Youlin and said truthfully, “Daddy just said that the snow is hexagonal. But after looking at it for a long time, I still feel that the snow is round. Where are the edges?”
After saying that, Joy turned to look at Mu Tingfeng with a serious expression that said, “Daddy, you actually lied to me!”
“Pfft...” Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. After she realized what cute words her son had said, she laughed and leaned against Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder.
Mu Tingfeng actually chuckled helplessly.
Fortunately, Zhao Youlin still had some conscience after laughing. She knew how to explain it to her child, “Joy, it’s not that dad lied to you. The snow is too small. You can’t see its shape if you look at it like that. The snow is indeed hexagonal.”
Joy still had a half-understanding look on his face. But soon, he stopped struggling with this problem because he found another thing that attracted him.
“What is a snowman?”
“A snowman is a small person made of snow, just like the plushie that aunt gave you back then.”
Joy’s eyes lit up slightly. He turned her head and looked at Mu Tingfeng with anticipation, hoping that he could help out.
Mu Tingfeng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Do what you want. You can’t always rely on others.”
Joy was stunned for a moment. His gaze started to wander over Mu Tingfeng and the pile of snow that was getting higher and higher not far away.
Mu Tingfeng pondered for a moment. He realized that his son was not even up to his thigh. He hesitated for a moment before adding, “I’ll make one. Then I’ll help you make yours?”
Joy’s eyes lit up as he tried his best to nod his head as if he was pounding garlic.
Only then did Mu Tingfeng lead Joy to an open space not far away. He picked up the snow on the ground and began to make a snowman.
Joy watched Mu Tingfeng’s actions from the side and imitated Mu Tingfeng’s actions as he tried his best to pinch the snow. The two of them stood side by side and repeated the same action. They looked extremely harmonious and cute.
Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but smile when she saw this scene. Under the flying snow, the family of three stood together. Although they were doing their own things, the atmosphere between them was surprisingly harmonious. Others could only watch from afar, but they couldn’t insert themselves into it at all.
After about half an hour, Mu Tingfeng’s snowman finally entered the final stage. Joy’s miniature snowman was only short of a head.
“It’s done!” Joy patted the snowman’s head hard. Then, he turned to look at Mu Tingfeng with joy. His face was full of anticipation.
Mu Tingfeng glanced at Joy’s little snowman. Although it looked terrible, fortunately, it had all its limbs. He could barely tell that it was a snowman.
Since it was the child’s first time building a snowman, he patted Joy’s little head and nodded, “Well, it’s not bad.”
