Alicia, are you okay?
The warmth of the olive wood climbed up Alicia’s wrist bone, and she heard a hint of warmth in her husband’s usually cold voice.
Alicia’s fingertips touched the deep red bite marks on Nolan’s wrist, causing a lump in her throat.
“Nolan, why did you… It was just a transaction, you didn’t need to take it so seriously…”
“Trade?” Nolan suddenly chuckled, “Then please tell me, Ms. Walsh, how should I act if I really had a change of heart during the trade?”
Nolan’s warm hands covered her trembling fingertips, guiding her to touch his own chest.
In the distance, distant thunder rumbled faintly, and Alicia saw the reflection of two people cuddling in the bronze mirror.

The olive wood in the palm was pulsating with his heartbeat, while the scents of frankincense and orange blossom mingled in the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
She suddenly whispered in Nolan’s ear, her hot breath burning his earlobe, “There is only one solution,”
She stared into Nolan’s deep eyes and said slowly, “It’s all for real.”

The altar niche suddenly collapsed, and scrolls scattered like snow.

Nolan’s scripture spinner medallion suddenly fell to the ground, and the heart that had been as gentle as jade for twenty–six years cracked open.
He suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply, the warm olive wood and cold silver ring entwined in the folds of her open collar. In the distance, the sigh of The Faithful Guardians could be heard from the prayer banner.
“Nolan…” she whispered against his forehead in between breaths, “if I wanted to be greedy for more of you…”
Before the words were finished, they were swallowed into a hotter kiss. Nolan held her lips, his throat rolling as he swallowed the saliva mixed with the scent of orange blossoms.
The bracelet on his wrist somehow wound around her ankle, like a chain breaking free from the world, dragging them both into a fiery love.
Nolan slowly unfastened the buttons on his chest, pulling her fair hands as cold as ice into his warm chest.
The cold moon above four thousand meters was falling silver sand through the clouds, winding down along her raven–like black hair, and casting a pearl–like halo in his palm.
You… Nolan’s voice suddenly approached, “Can I call you Ally?”
Alicia’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and the frozen ice crystals melted into fine dew in the warmth of each other’s bodies, moistening the skin where they touched.
Nolan said I could call him anything.
The morning light pierced through the clouds, and Alicia nestled in his

He devoutly lowered his gaze to look at her, as if looking at a deity, and gently called out, “Ally.”

Alicia lifted her head, her fingertips brushing against his brow bone, gently caressing, and softly responded.
Their eyes met, creating a warm and gentle atmosphere.
During the day, Nolan still accompanied Alicia to go to the snowy peak to take photos.
Alicia looked at the unfinished snow–capped mountain on the canvas, lost in thought.
“Are you facing any bottlenecks? Nolan gently covered the acupoints on her forehead with warm fingertips, lightly massaging them for her.
“I always felt that the snow–capped mountains in my paintings lacked soul.”

Alicia looked at the frozen blue and white blocks on the canvas, mist was creeping up from the mountainside, turning the still wet blue into a gray tone.
“But these snow–capped mountains were clearly alive.

swirling in the wind.”
Nolan’s warm fingertips pressed against the back of her neck, tightening the cashmere scarf for her.
Having sat in the cold wind for a long time, Alicia’s body temperature seemed colder than the accumulated snow, like ice crystals that had not fallen from the branches; Nolan embraced her, using his body heat to warm her up.
“Tonight I’ll take you to see something different.”
The white mist exhaled from his lips intertwined with her breath, weaving a semi–transparent web in the twilight.
As night fell, the snow–covered plain seemed to emit a faint blue light in the darkness. Nolan carried her and walked towards Aurelios Point.
Alicia’s fur cloak brushed over the stone steps, causing snowflakes to flutter down like stardust covering the ground.
The Milky Way was pouring down from the top of the snow–capped peak, the starlight from billions of years ago falling on Nolan’s shoulders.
While his fingertips pointed towards the distant valley, he said, “Ally, look.”
Thousands of lights bloomed one after another, like coral beads scattered by a goddess rolling into the valley.
In Alicia’s pupils reflected two galaxies, one surging in the sky, and the other flowing on earth.
She suddenly trembled as she reached for the sketchbook in her arms, but Nolan grabbed her wrist.

“Ally, don’t worry, just let them brew in memory for a while.”
He unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her in his arms, his body heat seeping through her spine via the cashmere sweater.
The snow–capped mountains emitted ancient sighs in the deep night, the shattered light of the Milky Way fell into the vast sea of lights, mixing cold silver and warm gold into colorful whirlpools..
Alicia looked at the flickering light in Nolan’s eyes and suddenly understood why he had waited.
At this moment, all the colors in the ancient world are blending with each other, indigo mixed with orange, and snow white melting into warm yellow.
– The Taiji is the paper, the universe is the ink, and all things are transformed into a touch of color, freely blending in this world.
She turned slightly, her arms wrapped around Nolan’s neck, their lips intertwined with warm breath.
Thank you, Nolan.
Alicia buried her head in Nolan’s arms and whispered.
Nolan deeply kissed her on the forehead and said, “This view is something I have wanted to share with someone for a long time.”
It was only now that I found that person.
Alicia looked up at him, their eyes meeting.

Three days later, the canvas revealed the flowing snow–capped mountains, with starlight trickling through the cracks in the glaciers, and countless lights hidden in the depths of the snow mist.

Alicia wrote “Snow & Nolan” in the corner of the canvas.
Then, she looked up and saw Nolan gazing at her tenderly from behind, a smile lighting up her face like the brilliant stars that night.
