Xu Xin looked at his watch; it was just past seven in the morning.
The sun had just risen from the horizon, though only half-visible, it illuminated the entire forest, making the snow covering the trees reflect a dazzling white light, which made him squint.
Darkness fell at four or five in the afternoon, and it was just getting light at seven in the morning, making the winter nights truly long.
"Huh?" Keke, awakened by the cold wind, climbed onto the windowsill and looked outside, then let out a surprised exclamation, "Huh!"
Keke had fallen asleep when it snowed yesterday, so it hadn't seen the snowfall, and it was quite surprised now, craning its neck to look outside, almost falling, only to be pulled back by Xu Xin.
Outside the window, the snow also weighed down the treetop of the treehouse. The canopy didn't block Xu Xin's view, but the snow did.
He reached out to shake the treetop, and the snow that had obstructed his vision fell to the ground, clearing his view once more.
