Yesterday had been a perfectly clear day, but a sudden storm of rain and snow hit the following afternoon. Spring beyond the Great Wall was always a bit capricious, with temperatures constantly fluctuating.
The outdoor ice and snow had begun to melt. Even small blades of grass were peeking out amidst the snowflakes. It seemed like the weather was finally warming, but this storm once again delayed the arrival of spring.
Xu Changqing wasn't sure if she should be glad that Shen Weimin had made it back to the county seat in time that morning, or lament that she would likely have to brave the storm on her way home from school.
Speaking of going home, she could have just stayed in the Xiangyang Team area, which wasn't very far from the school. After all, Shen Jiugu was already living in Shen Weimin's new house.
A week after the semester began, she had accepted a persistent invitation to have lunch there, an offer too gracious to refuse. Besides, Shen Jiugu was an excellent cook.
