Chapter 459

It was the heart of winter, and the trees stood bare, their leaves all but fallen to the ground. The only signs of life were the snowdrops blooming by the roadside, their gentle fragrance rising in the crisp air and adding a touch of warmth to the cold season. The sun shone brightly, lighting up the world and lifting the spirits of everyone beneath its rays. Nadine and Sebastian walked side by side on the sidewalk, with only a small gap between them. As a northerner, Sebastian found the winter in Janctera City unbearable. Back home, central heating kept the homes cozy. Here, the temperature outside was just as chilling indoors, making one's teeth chatter. Having just arrived in Janctera City, he struggled to adapt to the climate. Rubbing his hands together, he grumbled, "You'd think this city would be warmer, being in the south and all. The weather forecast shows it's much warmer here than where I'm from, so why is it even colder here?" He then huffed on his hands to warm them up.
