Chapter 662 - 067 Snowfall_2
However, now was not the time to think about these things, as the snowstorm was fierce and chill wind was biting; it indeed wasn’t suitable to stand outside any longer.
"Miss Lin, let’s take shelter inside the house."
Although there were still many excited children playing noisily in the yard, Old Mr. Cheng and some children who were afraid of cold had already gone inside.
Lin Yuan tightened her cloak around her and nodded. Even though she was not cold with Xia Zheng’s cloak, she hadn’t yet entered the schoolhouse today; she had to at least see what it looked like inside.
Lin Yi coughed and closely followed behind Lin Yuan into the room.
Lin Yuan turned around and looked at him strangely. This fellow, when at Lin family’s valley, even if it was raining heavily, never bothered to wear a bamboo hat when going out. Why had he astonishingly decided to follow her inside today? Could it be that he was not afraid of the rain but was afraid of snow?
Lin Yi directly ignored the glance from someone, held his head high, and entered the house. If it weren’t to prevent someone from straying off the path, he would not have entered the house at all! What was a little snow? He recalled times when they, on their missions, had to lie in ambush in the snow for two hours.
The schoolhouse was actually not small, and since Old Mr. Cheng lived there, what Lin Yuan walked into was his room. The room was very simple; against the wall was a bed, which was really just several broken adobe bricks supporting a worn-out door panel. The two quilts on the bed were quite thin, so much so that at first glance, it looked like only one quilt.
Lin Yuan bit her lip, unable to bear looking at the old cotton quilts any longer, and turned her head to look at the other end of the room. There were more items on this side: two old desks with brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones neatly arranged on them, along with seven or eight books, which were also worn and their pages yellowed. Yet not a single book had any curled pages or corners folded.
