Yu Qianqian was originally petite and delicate, but now she was tightly wrapped in snow-white fur, which made her curves even more prominent. Her crystal-clear skin was buried deep in the white fur, and the two gradually blended into one color. On the contrary, a touch of red lips just happened to embellish the illusory snow-white.

She herself was unaware of just how alluring she was; anyone who saw her at that moment would blush and feel their heart race, let alone the man who had always been quite interested in her.

But since she was already there, she didn't want to show him a smiling face, so she didn't think too much about it. She gently lifted the hem of her dress with both hands, twirled around in front of Su Yu, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face: "Su Yu, what do you think of my outfit? Does it look good?"

"So...beautiful." Seeing Yu Qianqian looking incredibly feminine in her white fur coat, Su Yu's face flushed crimson, his voice quickening with a hint of panic.

It's no wonder he was so nervous when he saw Yu Qianqian. Since they met, this was the first time she had shown such a mature and mature womanly side of herself in front of him. Even just a quick glance at her stirred up an extremely strong protective instinct in him.

Turning around to hide her flushed face, Su Yu went back to her room to change into a fur coat exactly like Yu Qianqian's. Then, without a moment's hesitation, she walked out of the Suspended Cloud Pavilion side by side with her.

They soon emerged from the forest and strolled leisurely along the mountain path, aimlessly walking forward. As far as the eye could see, the vast wilderness was covered in a silver-white landscape.

Because the climate changes extremely quickly, snow falls from the sky and freezes into ice the moment it hits the ground. In no time, the river surface in front of us is covered with a layer of ice that shines with a cold light.

Wearing a heavy fur coat, Yu Qianqian felt suffocated and could hardly breathe. She gritted her teeth and persevered for most of the day, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "Su Yu, tell me the truth, how much longer do we have to walk?"

Su Yu didn't respond to her, chuckling to herself as she walked, "Of course I hope it lasts as long as possible..."

Ideally, it would be a lifetime, walking side by side with her forever—

Yu Qianqian tilted her head to look at him, still unable to hear the words that sounded like a mosquito's hum. She frowned and asked again, "Su Yu, what are you saying?"

Su Yu thought for a moment, then smiled meaningfully: "I was just thinking... actually, if you feel tired, I don't mind doing it for you."

"Huh?" Yu Qianqian immediately turned to him with wide eyes, her face full of confusion.

She even wanted to ask, "How can you do it for me? Do you want me to hold you like this? Since ancient times, men and women have been supposed to be separate; what kind of relationship would that be?"

However, just as she was thinking this, Su Yu suddenly turned around. Before she could see what was going on, he hooked his arm around her soft waist and then effortlessly lifted her up in his arms.

"Are you still tired?" Su Yu asked, looking down at her flushed face as she continued walking forward. Her voice was gentle and tender, each word filled with affection.

"Qianqian, if you like traveling this way, please remember to tell me next time. To be honest, I'd be happy to do this job."

"Ah..." Startled by his embrace, Yu Qianqian let out a soft moan and looked at him with some annoyance, saying, "Su Yu, put me down right now!"
