Chapter 87 - "Under The Snow"

"Yaya, buy that dramatic gas." Lai Jiayi immediately decided. The girl looked at Yaya with twinkling eyes. "With this gas, I think we can get even closer with Zhao Yang."

"Sure, quack. But the gas range is 5 meters, quack. It means...the gas will also affect you, quack." Yaya gulped. "Is that okay, quack– "

"That's okay. It's my intention anyway. If I can be dramatic without faking it, I feel like– the success chance will be higher." Lai Jiayi nodded. She turned around and grinned.

"So, buy that gas." Lai Jiayi pointed at the item image on the transparent board in front of her. The item was a ball, so it should work like the fart bomb.

"Uhhh, okay, quack. I'll deduct your points now, quack." Yaya sighed. He quickly bought the item from the game's store, and a notification sounded.

TING! [Purchasing dramatic gas. -300 points. Total points left: 500.]

"Oh, the price is quite high." Lai Jiayi grumbled. The girl tucked in her blanket and snuggled inside. "Done? If you're done, let's sleep." The girl yawned again.

It's almost midnight, after all.

"I'm done, quack. But, have you prepared other things aside from the gas, quack?" Yaya trotted over and sat next to Lai Jiayi's head. "Can you sleep now– "

"Don't worry. I have several life quotes stocks in my head." Lai Jiayi grinned, looking like a cheeky brat. Her hair was already in a mess, even when she hadn't slept yet.

"So, let's just sleep. Just trust me, and leave everything to me. Okay?" Lai Jiayi waved her hand, signaling Yaya to turn off the lamp.

Yaya could only nod. He clapped his hands and turned off the lamp, leaving only the small light bulbs on the wall near the study desk.

"Goodnight, quack…" Yaya mumbled. He turned on his sleeping mode and immediately went into a deep sleep.

Saturday, 8:00 a.m, week 3

"...Goddammit." Lai Jiayi mumbled as she squatted near the tomb she visited last week. Her face was as gloomy as the sky, and her body shivered when the cold wind blew.

"WHY TODAY IT GOTTA BE WINTER, AH??" Lai Jiayi roared to the sky before glancing at the snow covering the tomb and the ground.

The trees around had lost its leaves in just a few days, leaving only the trunk.

How magical.

"Sshhh, don't shout, quack." Yaya slapped Lai Jiayi's head, swaying the girl's ponytail hair. "This place is still a sacred sanctuary, quack. Don't be noisy– "

"I know." Lai Jiayi interrupted. The girl gripped the small shovel in her hand. "But why– it has to be winter today…" The girl wailed.

The cold wind blew again, piercing Lai Jiayi's bone. Even when she had worn a colorful striped sweater and long mocha trousers, it was still cold.

"Because it's winter, I have more jobs to do. And it's so cold!!" Lai Jiayi pouted again. The girl glanced down at the four-colored sweater she's wearing.

The pale pink, pale blue, pale orange, and white color of the sweater represent the surroundings.

Pale.

Even Lai Jiayi's face was also pale. Only the tip of her nose and her ears were as red as a tomato.

Yaya could only shake his head and sighed. "Be strong, quack. I heard it would be easier to get sentimental when it's cold, quack. Isn't that good then, quack– "

"Yeah, good. But what if Zhao Yang doesn't come?" Lai Jiayi rolled her eyes. She shoved the snow covering the tomb. "Look, it's already 8 a.m, and Zhao Yang isn't here yet– "

The girl hadn't finished her words when the noise of a car sounded behind her. As usual, the noise was soft enough that no one would notice the car.

But, Lai Jiayi already trained her ears to notice Zhao Yang's car only by its noise.

The girl's eyes instantly lit up. She abruptly stood up while shouting in her mind,

[Ahhh, he is here! Zhao Yang is here!]

[See, I told you, quack. That man will come.] Yaya clicked his tongue as he threw his glance over a certain man getting off from his floating silver car.

The tall, black-haired young man walked to the graveyard gate, passing the row of trees, which was right in front of Lai Jiayi.

Even though the trees' trunks blocked the girl's sight, she could still see the man's all-white figure.

Maybe because today is winter, Zhao Yang was dressed in white from head to toe, blending with the snow falling from the sky.

He wore a tight, long-sleeved black t-shirt inside, with a turtleneck collar. The outer was a long white suit touching his ankle, with a hint of light blue around the suit's collar.

The suit was also long-sleeved, and the sleeves were folded up a bit, revealing the man's wrist. Coupled with body-fitted light blue trousers and a pair of white boots, the man looked like a snow prince from afar.

Not to mention the decorative white fur around his shoulders only added his elegance, making Zhao Yang look exquisite and wealthy as hell.

Lai Jiayi's heart skipped a beat. She just saw the man for a few seconds as he passed by the trees, yet her face already grew hot.

'...fck. That's not fair. He can't be dressing so handsomely while visiting a graveyard, ah!'

Lai Jiayi just cursed in her heart when Zhao Yang entered the graveyard. He walked straight to Jia Biyu's tomb, and the path he took was a straight line.

So, Lai Jiayi instantly noticed the guy's figure walking toward her while bringing two fresh, colorful bouquets in his hand.

Lai Jiayi gulped.

'Okay, okay, focus. Time to brainwash this man!'
