Ah! Ah! The screams continued! Liu Qingxi laughed excitedly, arms wide open, knees slightly bent to maintain balance as she slid down the two-meter-long slope. Due to the smooth ice surface, she glided forward a few meters before gradually coming to a stop.
"Hahaha!" Liu Qingxi relaxed completely, standing in place and catching her breath, hands on her hips, body slightly bent to calm her wildly beating heart.
In front of her was a thick layer of snow that was not slippery when stepped on. She slowly turned around and said, "It's so much fun! Do you want to join?"
Yang Yichen stood proudly in his white robe, smiling as he watched the bright-eyed girl laugh. From birth until this moment, he had never participated in such a boring yet amusing game.
His life had been filled with endless schemes and unread books.
Beside him, Liu Qingyan's eyes sparkled as she clapped her hands excitedly, bouncing up and down. "Sister, you're amazing! I want to play too!"
Kid cautiously crouched down and slid to the bottom with a whoosh, still showing signs of wanting to keep going. Liu Qingxi quickly grabbed him while Liu Qingyan jumped in place. "Brother Yang, you should come down too! You should come down!"
Rarely, Yang Yichen adjusted his flowing robe in front of an audience (though there were only three of them), mimicking Liu Qingxi and sliding all the way down.
Laughter filled the air as they played for a while. Liu Qingxi felt confident in her skills and proudly lifted her head, swaggering down the slope.
Halfway through, she stumbled slightly. With a gasp, at that moment, Liu Qingxi lost her balance; her head was heavy while her feet felt light, and she flailed her arms.
In the blink of an eye, a figure rushed over with a thud.
The anticipated pain did not arrive. She cracked open her tightly shut eyes just a bit; the hard sensation was not as cold as she imagined. The white color blended seamlessly with the snowy ground.
A slightly anxious voice suddenly came from above: "Qingxi, are you okay?"
Liu Qingxi jolted awake and quickly stood up, distancing herself from Yang Yichen. "Ah? Ah! I'm fine!"
Her face gradually turned red, as if stained with blush, spreading to her ears. The sound of her heart pounding was clearly audible, the first time in this life and the last that she had such close contact with the opposite sex.
The thumping of her heart grew faster, her hands clenched and then relaxed. Every moment they had shared since they met replayed in her mind like a movie, becoming clearer and clearer.
Yang Yichen reached out to look at his empty embrace; the warm, soft sensation suddenly filled his heart. At that moment, his heartbeat stopped, unable to imagine the consequences if the girl fell to the ground.
Even now, his heart continued to beat slowly, at half its usual pace.
There was no sun, but she felt warmth all around her. In the most dangerous moment, there was someone shielding her with his slender chest.
At this moment, Liu Qingxi's lonely heart, after so many years, was touched by one person.
The girl looked down at her feet while the boy's eyelids slightly lowered as he gazed at her.
With a height difference of ten centimeters, he could see her slender neck tightly wrapped up, while her head was just at the level of his chest.
Until she was startled awake by the panicked Liu Qingyan.
"Alright Qingxi, this is too dangerous. Don't play like this anymore; I'll make something more fun for you!"
"Brother Yang, really?" Was there anything more fun than this? Liu Qingyan seemed like a cat that had stolen fish, sticking out her tongue and looking at Youth with sparkling eyes.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between them, covering her mouth and laughing joyfully.
Don't think he didn't understand anything; he had seen older siblings secretly holding hands because they liked each other. He had even hidden in the bushes with his friends to sneak a peek at his sister and Brother Yang, giggling away~~~
He was very happy; in his eyes, his sister was the best. As for Brother Yang, well! He wasn't bad either!
If Liu Qingxi knew what Kid was thinking, he would definitely give him a smack, wondering what kind of nonsense was going on in that Child's head.
The enchanting atmosphere dissipated in an instant, as if a voice deep inside told him, what a pity! As for what was regrettable, Yang Yichen did not understand at that moment.
Perhaps the spark of emotion arose from these various incidents, while the main characters remained unaware.
When they truly understood, their two closely connected hearts would overcome all difficulties and draw ever closer!
The three walked side by side, with Liu Qingyan in the middle, holding Yang Yichen's right hand with her left hand and Liu Qingxi's left hand with her right hand. Ahead lay a fork in the road.
The right path led to Liu Qingxi's courtyard, while the left led to Yang Family Courtyard. Suddenly, Yang Yichen spoke up: "Qingxi, come over to my house for dinner!"
As if sensing that Liu Qingxi would soon part ways with him, he explained, "Last time when we had hot pot, wasn't it your kind of pot? I’ve prepared it; do you want to come see?"
There really is a dual-flavor hot pot! Liu Qingxi was eager: "Let’s go, let’s go! It’s snowing heavily now anyway, and there’s nothing much to do. Let’s check it out together!"
Oh my, there’s actually a dual-flavor hot pot here; she really wanted to make it.
Yang Yichen seemed to read her mind and fulfilled her wish.
Yang Yichen smiled as he stepped forward: "Ever since you came over last time, I thought about it carefully and drew up a blueprint. I had Anan go into town to find a blacksmith to make it. However, the blacksmith had never done it before, so it took a bit longer!"
"I got it back yesterday and was planning to invite you over today. Who knew it suddenly snowed heavily? But this is perfect; cold weather is more suitable for eating!"
In truth, Yang Yichen was captivated by Liu Qingxi's playful demeanor and couldn't bear to spoil the moment.
In the heavy snowfall, several people walked side by side, and from a distance, only three figures could be seen against the white snow.
Fortunately, the journey was short; even though the snow was deep, it didn't take long to arrive.
In the Yang Family Courtyard, everything was meticulously cleaned inside and out. The snow continued to fall, but only a thin layer covered the ground, creating a stark contrast with the thick snow outside that hindered people's steps.
Several servants were seen continuously sweeping, which made sense; having servants made life much easier.
Thinking about the narrow path cleared in her own courtyard that could only accommodate one person, Liu Qingxi felt envious.
Although she came from an era of equality, those with means enjoyed certain privileges. Hiring servants for laundry and cooking didn't give her the psychological pressure that others who had crossed over experienced. Unlike them, who rejected the idea of having servants due to their belief in equality, if she had the ability, she would definitely hire more servants.
While lost in thought, they arrived at the house. The Wen Family had already instructed the cook to prepare the pot, waiting for their arrival.
Although she occasionally visited the village and met some people, there were very few with whom she could share her true feelings. The Wen Family favored Liu Qingxi above all.
"It's so cold outside! Qingxi, come take a look! Yichan started preparing after hearing you mention it last time. What do you think of this pot? Is it better than the last one?"
Liu Qingxi looked up and saw a flat pan placed over a glowing red charcoal fire, separated in the middle by a thin S-shaped divider.
