Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 190 - 91: The Unforeseen First Snow and Delivering a Down Jacket to Qin Shiqing (Part 4)

"It's snowing!"

Everyone instinctively looked out the window.

Beautiful little snowflakes, like flying willows, were gently falling from the sky, pure and flawless, crystal clear.

They fluttered lightly and mischievously, swirling around like tiny fairies.

Su Zelin was slightly surprised.

In Zhejiang Province, the first snow usually occurs in late December, or mid-December at the earliest.

But now, it's only early December, and Lin'an is seeing its first snow; this is rare.

"It's snowing, I've finally seen snow!"

Zeng Kaiping shouted out, as if injected with adrenaline.

Guangdong Province's climate rarely sees snow, so it's a rare sight for him. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Cai Wensheng was a bit excited too. Min Nan has a subtropical monsoon climate, generally not too cold. Snow falls mainly in higher altitude areas like Sanming and Longyan in Min Xi, where it's much colder than other places, offering chances to see snow.

But Cai Wensheng, living in a coastal city in Min Nan, had barely seen snow twice in his life.

"Come on, this can be called snow? It's just some tiny ice flakes!"

Old Feng expressed disdain.

He was from Heijiang, where this amount of snow was nothing. He thought Zeng Kaiping and Cai Wensheng were making a big fuss.

"Ah Ping, Lao Liu, you should visit Heijiang Province sometime. I'll show you what real snow looks like!"

"To be honest, I'd really like to see it sometime!"

Zeng Kaiping curiously asked, "Old Feng, is it true that in Heijiang, when people pour water outside in winter, they have to carry a stick to tap as they pour?"

This question caught everyone's attention, as they'd all heard the rumor but weren't sure if it was true.

"Nah, that's an exaggeration. Unless your stream splits severely, almost atomizing, that's when it might happen!"

Old Feng eagerly debunked the myth for everyone.

"However, using an outdoor latrine in freezing temperatures is indeed torturous, especially for a big event. The icy chill feels like little knives slashing at your backside, so some people have to do it in installments!"

"Installments? How do you do a big event in installments?"

Cai Wensheng's curiosity was his downfall.

"Well, pause halfway, warm up inside, and then go back and finish!"

Hou Yongjin adjusted his glasses and explained wisely.

"Gross!"

Everyone's stomachs turned at the thought.

"Old Feng, poor you!"

Zeng Kaiping expressed his sympathy, silently vowing never to visit Heijiang—he'd rather not pause halfway through a big event!

Stopping halfway through was uncomfortable enough; it was like torture...

"I've never tried it!"

Old Feng wiped his brow, thinking that Lao Er's explanation might leave him friendless.

Su Zelin was speechless listening to this.

A nice snow in Lin'an somehow led them to this—no wonder girls didn't like hanging out with these guys; there was a reason.

But then again, today's temperature did drop significantly, with the first snow arriving. Snowfall wasn't the coldest; when the snow melts, that's when it really gets cold.

Better send that down jacket to Qin Shiqing early.

Considering now it's early in the month, and her usual time is near, when she turns weak and her immunity lowers, there's a risk of catching a cold or fever.

But with the mouse occupied, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go alone. Just the two of us could lead to misunderstandings.

Taking these dormitory birds wouldn't be suitable, as they don't know Qin Shiqing.

And asking Xiaoyanzi is out of the question—it's important not to get between friends!

Su Zelin thought for a bit but couldn't come up with a suitable person, so he decided to let it go.

Never mind, I'll just swing by, drop off the down jacket, and leave, avoiding any more entanglements with Qin Shiqing.

...

After class at noon, after having lunch with his roommates in the cafeteria, Su Zelin returned to Room 302 and called the landline of Qin Shiqing's dorm.

By this time, Qing Mei should have returned as well.

After a few rings, someone picked up.

"Hello, who would you like to speak to?"

The girl's voice on the other end was quite pleasant, a bit fast-paced and fiery, immediately recognizable as Shen Jia from Sichuan Province.

Her bed was in the lower bunk beside the landline, so she usually answered the phone the most.

"Is this Jiajia? It's Qin Zelin. Is my sister in the dorm?"

Shen Jia laughed, "Oh, Brother Qin, Shiqing is here. Please hold on for a moment!"

She put down the phone and yelled into the distance, "Shiqing, your brother's on the phone!"

After a moment, the familiar gentle voice of his childhood friend came through, "Hello, Zelin?"

"Yes, Qin Shiqing, the down jacket mom mailed has arrived. You'll have time after class in the evening, right? I'll bring it to you then!"

Su Zelin got straight to the point.

"Sure, come by in the afternoon then. It's gotten much colder today, and I was just worrying that I didn't have a thick coat!"

Qin Shiqing sounded quite happy.

"Then wait in your dorm after class, don't wander around!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
