Chapter: Snowflakes-2

Sitting beside Li Lei, Xiao Yun couldn't help but give a wide smile. Suddenly, Xiao Yun turns her head and asked, "Where are we going?" 

From her past experience, Li Lei couldn't possibly go to a normal dating spot... But looking at his clothes...perhaps it is somewhere normal?

Li Lei took his phone before showing it to Xiao Yun while saying, "Ice Skating"

Since Xiao Yun was young because Xing Fu couldn't handle cold at all she could never play in Winter. When her friends talk about how ice skating, making a snowman, and ice ski, she would often pout her lips in disappointment. 

Although Xiao Yun now had lost her interest in those kinds of things. Her expression lights up with a wide smile, "Wow! I've always want to try this!!"

Seeing the girl's smile, Li Lei felt his heart tightens and unconsciously clutch his chest. After a moment of calming his loud heart, Li Lei gave a satisfied smile, "That's great"

Hyun drove the car and grins faintly. Other than Li Lei's job, Hyun had stayed by his side almost every day on every hour. 2 days ago after Li Lei got a call from Xiao Yun's mother, the corporation was very busy because of a single reason... Searching a young girl's favorite spot for a Winter date. 

From the corner of Xiao Yun's eyes, a pile of white snow and clear frozen lake that had turned into an ice rink glimmers. As soon as the car parked Xiao Yun couldn't help but excitedly took Li Lei's hand and walk out of the car.

Seeing the blanket of snow that deepens every time she took a step, Xiao Yun laughs happily, "Look Li Lei, everything is so white here!!"

Li Lei smiled and gaze at the hand which Xiao Yun hold and answered, "You're right."

Xiao Yun looks around before tilting her head toward Li Lei, "Hm?...It's weird"

Li Lei follow Xiao Yun's steps toward the ice rink, "What's weird?"

Xiao Yun continues to take the ice skating shoes and walk toward the bench to changes her shoes, "Isn't today a holiday?"

Li Lei followed Xiao Yun's movement and changes his shoes, "It Is."

Xiao Yun, "Then...Why there is no one here? It's so empty..."

Li Lei, "Do you don't like that it's empty?"

Xiao Yun rubs her chin, "No! Actually being alone together like this is far better!" She walks away from the bench and stood in front of the white pile of snows and ice rink, while spreading her arms, she continues, "Doesn't this feel like there're only two of us in this world?"

In reflex, Li Lei held his chest and softly look at Xiao Yun before answering, "You're right"- 

Xiao Yun took her first step toward the ice rink, her legs trembles weakly. At first, she thought that skating trough the rink was easy...But she didn't expect that balancing her body and walk normally on the rink was even harder...

Li Lei walk beside her and open his palm wide toward Xiao Yun, "Hold my hand."

Xiao Yun's face reddens, in fact when she took Li Lei's arm on the car her heart was beating madly. But as she already took Li Lei's hand she couldn't possibly let go of his hand that quick...In the end, Xiao  Yun acted normally while hiding her loud heartbeats.

She looks upward at Li Lei and held his hand. Warmness spread from both of their palms, unlike the cold weather, Xiao Yun could feel sweat dripping down from her forehead. 

Li Lei gaze at her, "Let's go?"

Xiao Yun nods her head, "Mn, let's go"

Walking beside Li Lei and having him teaching how to skate was very fun as she expected, although at some times she could feel her heart nearly burst out loud by seeing Li Lei's smile...

Xiao Yun looked up toward the snowflakes that drift down, she remembered the day where she died, when the snow that fell on her cheek felt even colder than today. 

She thought that if she ever sees snow, she would once again remember the pain, heartache, and sadness that she felt that day and hate the sight...However, with Li Lei beside her, all those feeling dissolve into a warm and fluffy feeling.

Li Lei look toward Xiao Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"

Still, in between her reverie, Xiao Yun answered, "Mn...Nothing, it's just that- I just realized"

Li Lei, "Realized?"

Xiao Yun continues, "That I really love you more than I thought."

The warm smile full of affection that directed toward him reflected clearly on Li Lei's black eyes. Without a word, silently Li Lei raises his hand and embraces Xiao Yun. 

A soft yet loud heartbeat reverberates on Xiao Yun's ears, Xiao Yun's face turns red. Hearing the loud heartbeat that was akin to hers, Xiao Yun covers her lips in surprise. Xiao Yun didn't expected to say that out loud and she didn't expected Li Lei to suddenly hug her!! 

In midst of Xiao Yun's chaos-full thoughts, Li Lei softly caresses her hair, saying, "I love you too."

Hearing the word, Xiao Yun gave a faint giggle and embraces him back.
