231 Ice Sculpture
He Miao secretly noted down Onion’s expression. Then, she took a comfortable nap with the puppy in her arms.
When she woke up, she wanted to take Onion out for a walk. During this time, Onion had been taken out by the servants for a walk, and she had not accompanied it for a long time.
Just as she pushed the door open, a note suddenly fell from the crack. A little boy was drawn on it, his expression pained, and next to it was Jing Yan’s handwriting: [Miaomiao, don’t be angry. When you wake up, I’ll take you and Onion out to see ice sculptures, okay?]
He Miao could not help but chuckle. Her beautiful eyes scanned her surroundings, then she led Onion to knock on the door next door.
Jing Yan ran over to open the door almost immediately. When he saw He Miao, he looked at her guiltily. “Miaomiao, you’re finally willing to talk to me.”
He Miao waved the note in her hand and asked with a raised brow, “When do we leave?”
“Now!” Jing Yan turned around and took out two warm and wind-proof down jackets from the closet. He handed her a pink one and said, “Wear this. It just snowed last night, and the temperature is low today. Don’t catch a cold.”
“When did you buy these clothes?” He Miao took the down jacket in surprise and put it on. She could not help but ask when she saw Jing Yan put on the aqua-blue one.
“I asked Butler Li to buy it while you were taking a nap.” Jing Yan took her hand with a smile, and the other hand naturally took the dog leash in her palm. He rubbed her nose affectionately and said, “If I want to take you out to play, how can I not be well prepared?”
“You’re still so attentive.” He Miao sighed in a low voice.
Jing Yan took the initiative to be nice to her, which made her embarrassed to continue being angry.
However, she did not intend to let him get away with it so easily. She firmly believed that as long as night fell, she would be able to prove whether her guess was correct.
After saying goodbye to Old Master Jing, they got into the car that had been prepared for them and headed to the largest ice sculpture square in the city.
Admiring ice sculptures, skiing, and sitting on ice-made slides were unique entertainment in the winter.
He Miao had always lived in the south and had never played these games before, so she could not help but look forward to it.
When they arrived at the square, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for them. He said with a fawning expression, “Young Master Jing, I’ll park the car in the parking lot in a while. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay, you can go.” Jing Yan nodded. He took He Miao’s hand and brought her to the ticket office to buy tickets. They also rented two pairs of skates for ice skating.
He Miao would occasionally pass by this square on her way to class. At that time, she did not see anything special about it. However, after not seeing it for a while, the place had changed dramatically.
The originally empty square was now filled with man-made ice sculptures.
The exterior was surrounded by a circle of ice castles built by craftsmen. It was as high as a three-story building. When one walked in, it was as if they were in a glazed palace, instantly transforming them into the prince and princess of the castle.
There were many small ice sculptures on the walls of the castle. There were wall lamps made of ice and lifelike ice murals. He Miao could not help but marvel at the craftsmanship of the artists.
All the objects in the castle were made of ice, and there was even an ice carved pumpkin carriage in the courtyard. Jing Yan pulled He Miao up to take a picture, and when he saw her staring at the balloon in the child’s hand, he could not help but laugh. “I’ll buy it for you later. Let’s go take the slide first.”
“Don’t tell me the ladders are all made of ice?” He Miao’s eyes widened in curiosity.
Jing Yan smiled but did not say anything. He held her hand and strolled around the whole castle. Then, he led them to the amusement park. He pointed at a place in the distance where there were more than twenty people in line and said with a smile, “There it is. This is the highest slide, about two meters high. Do you want to play with the shorter ones next to it? I’m worried you’ll be scared.”
He Miao looked at him in shock, then held his hand and jogged to the slide. When she saw the people lining up on the newly rented boards suddenly sliding down from the highest point, her heart jumped to her throat. I want to play this! Let’s go and line up!”
Jing Yan led her to the end of the line and picked up Onion. “I can’t go with the dog, so I’ll have to let you go up alone. Are you scared?”
“I’m the only one?” She had thought that the two of them could slide down together.
He Miao pouted regretfully. However, it was not easy to get to play such a thrilling attraction, so the regret in He Miao’s heart was quickly filled with excitement.
She nodded confidently and smiled with her eyes curved. “It doesn’t matter if it’s just me! I’m not afraid!”
“My Miaomiao is so brave.” Jing Yan could not help but raise his hand to ruffle her soft hair, reluctant to take his hand off her head.
It was He Miao who pouted and pulled his hand away coquettishly, then raised her arm to touch Jing Yan’s head. Only then did Jing Yan come back to his senses and hurriedly dodged, “Quickly put your hands in your pockets. You’re going to freeze later.”
