Chapter 302 - You Are My Family

In the latter half of the night, snow fell on the Holy Spirit Continent. There was a heater in the dormitory, so the students did not notice the snow outside.

Every morning, the first thing Yu Huang did when she woke up was to push open the window and breathe in the room. Just like yesterday, she pulled open the curtains and saw that the window was covered with a layer of mist.

Yu Huang reached out to wipe away the mist on the glass window before realizing that it was snowing outside. The snow was very heavy and was still falling. The snow was so heavy that the tree branches bent down.

In the snow, Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao was wearing a thin white down jacket and a red scarf around his neck. He was holding a thermos flask in his hand. She didn’t know how long he had been standing in the snow.

Yu Huang pushed open the window, and coldness immediately seeped in through the window.

Yu Huang was wearing a thin nightgown. Her collarbone was exposed. The cold wind entered the room and made Yu Huang shiver. She waved at Sheng Xiao and hinted for him to come in.

Sheng Xiao did not move. He took out his phone, as if he was going to call someone.

Very quickly, the phone on Yu Huang’s bedside table rang.

She turned around and took a few steps to answer the call. Sheng Xiao said on the phone, “I made some shrimp porridge for Yang Yang. It’s Yufu City’s custom to get drunk on the first snow day. Come down and help her get it.”

As Yu Huang put on her clothes, she asked, “What about mine? We’re both your people. You can’t favor one over the other.”

Sheng Xiao was amused by her words. He said, “We have a date today.”

A date?

Yu Huang had planned to meet Sheng Xiao after putting on her school uniform. But, she put it back into the wardrobe when she heard what he said. “Give me a few minutes.”

Yu Huang chose a down jacket of the same color as Sheng Xiao’s.

She walked out of the bedroom and was about to go downstairs. When she passed by the dressing mirror in the living room, she subconsciously looked into the mirror.

Yu Huang suddenly stopped when she saw her bare face in the mirror.

Should she put on makeup?

Yu Huang knocked on Na Luo’s door.

Na Luo had just woken up and was still in bed. Hearing a knock on the door, Na Luo said, “It’s not locked. Please come in.”

Yu Huang pushed open the door and leaned against the door frame as she asked Na Luo, “Can you lend me your cosmetics?” Because her appearance was ruined, Yu Huang did not have the habit of wearing makeup. She did not have any cosmetics there.

Na Luo immediately sat up. She wrapped herself in the blanket and floated down the bed. She panted and said, “It’s so cold. Is it snowing outside?”

“Yes, the snow is quite heavy.”

Na Luo went to the dresser. She opened a leather case filled with various cosmetics and makeup brushes. “Here, you can use whatever you want.”

“Thank you.”

Yu Huang rarely put on makeup and she really didn’t have any makeup skills.

With her good skin, Yu Huang only applied some light makeup on her face.

Yu Huang picked up a palette of eye shadow. Seeing that the eye shadow was colorful, she couldn’t decide which one to use. Na Luo saw that she couldn’t make up her mind, so she walked over and said to her, “If you want to put on light makeup, use the milk tea color for a gentle makeup look.”

Gentle.

This was a term that had nothing to do with Yu Huang.

However, Yu Huang decided to look gentle when she thought about her date with Sheng Xiao.

She dipped her finger in and took a bit of eye shadow before gently swiping it on the folds of her eyelids. Na Luo helped her with the eye shadow with the brush and asked her, “Is today some special day?”

“I’m going on a date with Professor Sheng today.”

“Hehe,” Na Luo said, “Then you must look beautiful.”

After applying makeup, Na Luo chose a cinnamon-colored lipstick for Yu Huang. “Alright, you look very beautiful.” Yu Huang, who had light makeup on, appeared even more exquisite and beautiful.

“Thanks.” After changing into her snow boots, Yu Huang quietly went downstairs alone.

Sheng Xiao could tell that she was wearing makeup.

This was the first time Yu Huang had put on makeup since they met. Sheng Xiao could not help but take a few more glances at her.

Yu Huang pointed at his thermos box and asked, “Is this for Yang Yang?”

“Mmm.” Sheng Xiao passed the thermos box to Yu Huang. “It’s not convenient for me to enter the female dormitory. Help me give it to her. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

“Okay.”

Yu Huang carried the shrimp congee back to the sixth floor.

Sheng Yang had also woken up. When she saw Yu Huang return with the porridge, she said, “It’s snowing today. I really want to have a bowl of steaming hot Drunken Shrimp Porridge. Yu Huang, you went to the canteen so early to bring us breakfast?”

Sheng Yang did not know that her brother was downstairs. She thought that the food box contained the breakfast Yu Huang brought back from the canteen.

When Na Luo saw Sheng Xiao, she knew that it came from him. She told Sheng Yang, “I think your brother gave it to Yu Huang.”

“My brother?” Sheng Yang looked at Yu Huang bitterly. She said, “Sister-in-law, I’m so jealous of you.”

Yu Huang placed the food box into Sheng Yang’s arms. “Your brother made you some Drunken Shrimp Porridge. He wants you to drink it with Na Luo.”

Sheng Yang immediately smiled happily.

“Thank you, sister-in-law, for helping out!”

Sheng Yang quickly pulled Na Luo to the side table and opened the shrimp porridge to drink with her. “Sister-in-law, come, have a taste.”

Yu Huang took a sip from Sheng Yang’s spoon.

Yu Huang did not know if it was because Sheng Xiao was handsome, but the porridge he made was even better than the porridge made by the chef in the canteen. Yu Huang was afraid that she would ruin her makeup, so she only took a sip and stopped eating.

“You guys enjoy your meal. I’ll head down first.”

Sheng Yang was busy eating her porridge and asked without looking up, “Where are you going?”

“Your brother is looking for me.”

Na Luo said suggestively, “They’re going on a date today.”

“Really?”

Yu Huang went downstairs and met Sheng Xiao. Sheng Yang leaned on the balcony and said loudly, “I’ve received your porridge. Have a good date with my sister-in-law. We won’t be leaving the door open tonight!”

After Sheng Yang shouted, everyone in the female dormitory knew that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were going on a date. They also knew that Sheng Yang and the others would not leave the door open for Yu Huang tonight.

Yu Huang was amused. Sheng Xiao was a little angry. He glanced at Sheng Yang coldly. Sheng Yang shrank her head and hid in the dormitory.

“Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?” There had to be a date schedule.

Sheng Xiao said, “To the city.”

The city closest to the Divine Realm Academy was Qiang City. However, Divine Realm Academy was currently under strict restrictions, and one could not leave without approval.

Yu Huang voiced her concern. Sheng Xiao said, “I’m a professor. I can come and go as I please.”

Yu Huang said, “But I’m a student.”

“Students are not allowed to enter and exit the independent space at will.” Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s left hand and touched the ring on her ring finger. “But you are my family.”

As the professor’s family member, Yu Huang could enter and exit the academy with Sheng Xiao.

The snow was still falling. Sheng Xiao noticed that the collar of Yu Huang’s down jacket was too low. He was worried that she would be cold, so he took off the scarf around her neck and wrapped it around her neck.

“Didn’t you say that the last day of the year is called new year’s eve? We should give each other red gifts on the day of the new year. Tomorrow, you will go to the Broken Cliff with Supremacy Lin to train. I can’t accompany you for the new year, so we will celebrate the new year ahead of time.”
