The New Year season had arrived once again, and Xuyang City was blanketed in a heavy snowfall. Flakes drifted down from the sky like the feathers of angels, light and pure. They danced in the air, weaving together a dreamlike tapestry.
The snow grew heavier, quickly draping all of Xuyang City in a thick silver coat. Alleys and main thoroughfares alike were buried; houses, trees, and streets were turned spotless white. Even the distant mountains were dyed by the snow, appearing like a massive silver dragon winding across the earth.
The swirling flakes fell like goose feathers, landing gently on people’s faces and bringing a touch of chill, yet for most, they brought only immense joy. Many children ran and played happily in the snow, brimming with excitement as they built snowmen and engaged in snowball fights. Their laughter echoed throughout the city. Su Shi'an, still young himself, was begged by Deng Yangchen to help clear the snow from the front of their respective homes to prepare for the upcoming New Year.
