There, she saw a Japanese tatami structure with a soft cashmere cushion, and on the tatami, there was a small mahogany table, on which there was a small and exquisite orchid pot. At one end of the tatami was a pile of pillows. She could imagine how warm and safe it would be to spend a snowy winter in such a warm place and read favorite books. "Now you can relax, right?
