Chapter 93 - Bonus: 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 snowman, and ice ski, she would often pout her lips in disappointment. 

Although Xiao Yun now had lost her interest on those kind of things. Her expression light 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 everyday 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 look 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 are no one here? It's so empty..."

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

Xiao Yun rub 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 besides her and open his palm wide toward Xiao Yun, "Hold my hand."

Xiao Yun's face redden, 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 normal while hiding her loud heart beats.

She look 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 besides 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 drifts down, she remembered the day where she died, when the snow that fell on her cheek felt even colder that 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 besides her, all those feeling dissolve into a warm and fluffy feelings.

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 reverberate on Xiao Yun's ears, Xiao Yun's face redden. Hearing the loud heart beat 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 chaos-full thoughts, Li Lei softly caresses her hair, saying, "I love you too."

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

-----

Looking at the snow falling down from the sky, a man propped his head on his left hand gazing at the snow silently. 

He pull the black leather gloves on his left hand before tapping his long, pale fingers on top of the table. 

His voice echoed trough the dimmed room, "Yu Xiao Yun..."
