She lay in bed, tossing and turning .

It was a sleepless night .
It was already Christmas, and it usually snows during wintertime in N City . Su Yue woke up early to settle some orders and worked until the afternoon . She didn’t even have time to enjoy a sip of water .
“Mommy, play outside . ”
It stopped snowing in the morning . The sun was out too, and the heaps of snow on the roads made Xiaojiao’s heart flutter .
She held Su Yue’s hand and insisted that she bring her out .
Su Yue stopped working and smiled at Xiaojiao . “Xiaojiao, where do you want to go?”

Her helper had gone back to China a few days ago to attend her son’s wedding .
They were the only people at home, and Su Yue hadn’t brought Xiaojiao out because it had been snowing in the past two days . So, she made Xiaojiao play at home while she did her work .
Su Yue thought that it was about time for her to bring Xiaojiao out to play since it had stopped snowing .
Xiaojiao said, “Build snowman at the square . ”
Their neighbor had built a snowman in their courtyard yesterday . The little lass had been wanting to try building one and she couldn’t wait any longer .
“Sure . ” Su Yue smiled and nodded before adding, “Give Mommy 10 minutes, alright?”
She needed 10 minutes to finish up some urgent work matters .

Xiaojiao nodded obediently . “Okay . ”
Then she headed to the sofa and picked up her jacket and put it on .
Su Yue was comforted as she watched her .
She finished up her work as fast as possible .
Both of them wrapped themselves up thoroughly; wearing gloves, hats and masks . Only their eyes were revealed amidst the get-up .
Both of them were wearing a pink down coat . Su Yue was wearing a pink beanie and had let down her hair . Her eye bags had turned pink from the cold .
The wind made her tear as well .
She was terrified of the cold that she kept on trembling . Xiaojiao, on the other hand, had the time of her life as she passed handfuls of snow to Su Yue . The little girl let her build a snowman for her .
“Faster Mommy . Keep going! They’re almost done,” Xiaojiao said as she pointed at a family of four who was building a snowman not too far away .
They only had two people . Furthermore, they were ‘weaker’—a woman and a child . How could they be faster than the family of four?
Su Yue frowned, but she didn’t want to dampen the little girl’s mood, and so she hastened her speed .
The mother and daughter were panting before they even completed the body of the snowman . People around them, who had started later, were already done with their snowman .
“I miss Daddy,” Xiaojiao lamented, looking downwards as she frowned .
Parents always brought their children there during Christmas . There was a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the square, decorated with colorful blinking lights just like stars .
The atmosphere was tense .
The mother and daughter could not join in the festive atmosphere .
At this time last year, Xiaojiao wasn’t able to walk with a stable gait in the snow . Jiaojiao carried her around the Christmas tree and built her many mini, special snowman .
When the little lass’ hands turned red from the cold, he would stuff her hands near his mouth alternately to warm them up .
Back then, many were envious of their family of three . They always commented on how Su Yue and Jiao Chen were so suited for each other . They also often mentioned how adorable Xiaojiao was and how she resembled her .
Standing there today, the place hadn’t changed, but the people had .
Su Yue pressed her lips and took a deep breath . She bent down and carried Xiaojiao with a smile on her face . She encouraged, “It’s alright . We have to give it our best . If we don’t give up, we can definitely finish it . ”
