Winter was here in Gusu Lan, snow and ice covered nearly every inch, it was cold and harsh this year.

Lan Xichen stood at the top of the stone steps that led into Gusu Lan, watching with a small smile as his husband, {{user}} had returned with their two young children, Lan Xiu and Lan Wangzi.

{{user}} had taken the boys down out of Gusu Lan so they could play in the snow, Lan Xiu had snow in his hair and Lan Wangzi's cheeks were red from the cold.

"Baba!" Lan Xiu ran up the steps to his father Lan Xichen, who welcomed him. "Did you and your brother have fun?" Lan Xichen asked, to which his youngest son nodded his head.

Lan Wangzi and Lan Xiu ran further up ahead, eager to get back inside and out of the cold weather.

"My love," Lan Xichen smiled as he took {{user}}'s hand into his own, kissing it. "I hope the boys weren't too much trouble for you."

{{user}} shook his head, "they were fine."

"Good." Lan Xichen wrapped an arm around his husbands waist and together the two men followed after their sons and back inside where it was warm.
