[Love that grows over time or love at first sight. Each other's first love.]

"That year, the first snow came late. I think it was because you came along."

Petite, sweet southern sculptor x burly Northeastern snowboarder

As a sculpture student, Shi Yang was instantly drawn to the ice sculptures in H City, which she saw advertised online.

She immediately decided to buy a ticket and fly straight there, planning to ask the handsome sports college guy who offered guided ski runs at the resort for some ice-sculpting tips (crossed out).

Just as she hoped, the day she landed, she collided with a 186-centimeter-tall sports college hunk in the snow.

Before any romantic sparks could fly, the handsome guy grabbed her by the armpits and lifted her up.

"Hey, whose kid isn't being watched properly?"

"..." You're the kid. Your whole family is full of kids.

After they cleared up the misunderstanding, the handsome guy offered to show Shi Yang around as an apology.

But after accompanying her to wait in line for four whole hours at the ice sculpture festival, he couldn't help but pull his coat tighter.

"When I get rich, I'm gonna get a couple of southerners and wear them. This little thing is way too cold-resistant."

"..." Shi Yang, so excited she hadn't even noticed the cold, fell silent.

Jiang Ming wasn't at all like the boyfriend Shi Yang had imagined for the past twenty-some years.

He was blunt, and spoke bluntly. Sometimes he was like a wooden block with no social skills.

But when he came home and pulled a piping-hot roasted sweet potato from his clothes, Shi Yang felt she could temporarily forgive him for being so romantically clueless.

"Jiang Ming, when did you start liking me?"

"When I picked you up and asked whose kid you were, and you pulled the scarf off your face and glared at me."

"Why? Because I'm pretty?"

"No. I just thought you were so cute. It'd be a lot of fun to keep one."

"..." Fine. One roasted sweet potato isn't enough to forgive him.

Bonus scene

Actually, Jiang Ming isn't completely clueless when it comes to certain things.

For instance, he has a few tricks up his sleeve when he makes Shi Yang angry.

Including, but not limited to, a butler outfit, an apron with nothing underneath, and a tail plug.

Like tonight.

Jiang Ming made Shi Yang cry by tossing her into a snowdrift during a snowball fight.

So that night, he changed into a butler outfit to make it up to her.

At first, Shi Yang was snickering. Then, come midnight, Jiang Ming still had her pressed against the bathroom mirror.

She was crying too hard to get the words out clearly. "You said we'd do it again like a puppy."

Jiang Ming took her hand and guided it to the tail behind him, shamelessly insisting, "But tonight, I'm a puppy."
