Chapter 59 Roasting a Snowman

Heng Xing got up from the snow, shook off the snow stuck in the seams of his clothes, and reached out to pull Yu Nianqing up as well.

Yu Nianqing returned the terminal to her, shook off the snow, and found a flat open space nearby. He didn't even glance at her the whole time. "Captain Heng, I've decided to build one of you too."

A little bit of revenge.

Hengxing followed him with a grin, watching his actions. "Okay."

Yu Nianqing was well aware of her own snowman-building skills and did not have the excessive confidence in her abilities like Heng Xing.

He thought for a moment, then scooped up a large clump of snow from the snowdrift beside him, rolled it into a ball, and pressed it to the ground, rolling it until it became a large snowball nearly a meter high. He then made a smaller snowball in the same way and instructed Hengxing to stack the latter on top of the former.

"Is that all?" Hengxing looked at the candied hawthorn skewer in front of him, which only had two balls. "Isn't there any detail at all?"

"In that case, you can say that this snowman is anyone."

If she wanted, she could point to the snowman and call it the emperor.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I'm not done yet."

Yu Nianqing took some more snow from the snowdrift, rolled it into balls, flattened them, and stuck them onto the snowman. She repeated this process until the snowballs below were completely filled with these flattened cylindrical shapes, leaving no gaps.

He turned to Heng Xing and asked, "Captain Heng, guess what this is?"

You probably can't guess, these things are as abstract as her snowman.

Heng Xing answered without hesitation, "It's star coins!"

Yu Nianqing chuckled to herself, surprised that she had guessed correctly.

Hengxing suddenly turned around and went back to his snowman, bending down to pick it up.

The snowman had been standing there for quite some time, and the snow on its surface had hardened, so it didn't fall apart when it was lifted into the air.

When she returned, Yu Nianqing had already added a lot of decorations to the top of his snowman. She glanced at it and realized that it was the star-shaped snowball she had seen before.

Hearing the panting sound, Yu Nianqing turned her head and saw Heng Xing place the snowman on his shoulder next to her.

Two snowmen with equally abstract features stood close together in the snow.

Perhaps she misjudged the landing point, because Yu Nianqing's snowman Hengxing was pushed aside by her snowman Yu Nianqing and collapsed.

She quickly called Yu Nianqing for help, "You hold me up first, I'll find something to support me."

“Okay.” Yu Nianqing, supporting the snowman, watched her run back to the hotel terrace.

Two minutes later, Hengxing ran back, holding a few iron skewers left over from the barbecue.

Yu Nianqing: ? ? ?

Then, Hengxing told him to move aside, and decisively picked up an iron skewer and pierced the two snowmen horizontally. Perhaps worried that one skewer wouldn't be sturdy enough, she changed direction and inserted the remaining skewer into the snowmen's bodies.

Yu Nianqing: ? ? !

Isn't this a bit too much? It's too gory.

At this moment, the two snowmen were stuck together like candied hawthorn skewers.

Hengxing put his hands on his hips with satisfaction, "Now they can never be separated."

Never mind, the meaning is good.

Yu Nianqing responded softly, "Mm."

He plucked a little snow, rolled it into a heart-shaped snowball, and placed it between the two snowmen.

Heng Xing turned around and ran back to the hotel again, bringing back several more iron skewers.

A dozen minutes later, a metal skewer with heart-shaped snowballs was stuck next to the two snowmen.

At least the meaning is good, Yu Nianqing told herself.

Looking at these metal skewers, he suddenly remembered the "roasted snowman" that Shi Hengxing had accidentally said that afternoon when he misspoke.

It's not impossible.

Aren't there a few strings of hearts here?

By the way, is a heart considered an internal organ?

"Mr. Yu, let's go back, it's almost eleven o'clock." Heng Xing reminded him when he saw him staring at the snowman in a daze.

A sense of pride suddenly welled up inside me.

It seems that although Mr. Yu complained, he actually liked it a lot.

Yu Nianqing snapped out of her daze and said to her, "Okay, you haven't taken a shower yet."

"Okay, let's go back and shower right away." Hengxing put her arm around his shoulder, and they went back to the hotel together.

The streetlights cast long shadows of them, slowly engulfing the two snowmen shrouded in snow.

Back on the second floor, Yu Nianqing handed Hengxing the new pajamas she had bought that day, saying, "I've already washed them for you."

Heng Xing took her pajamas into the bathroom. When she stood under the showerhead, she turned around and saw Yu Nianqing had followed her in. "Are you getting something?"

"No, I'll stay with you, okay?" he said, locking the bathroom door as he spoke.

Hengxing: "No, that's not good."

Seeing her ears turn bright red, Yu Nianqing teased her with a smile, "Didn't we shower together yesterday?"

Hengxing wanted him to leave, saying, "Today is different from yesterday."

Yu Nianqing refused, turning away as she said, "Fine, I won't look at you then."

He wouldn't go out no matter what, so Hengxing had no choice but to speed up his movements.

She quickly rinsed off the soap suds, patted the water droplets off her body with a towel, and as she turned to get her clothes, she suddenly noticed him taking off his coat, revealing his hospital gown pajamas underneath.

Hengxing asked, "Do you want to wash again?"

"Mmm." Yu Nianqing's reply was very low and soft, like a feather brushing across the water's surface, without creating a ripple.

"Then go take a shower." Hengxing was about to put on his pajamas when she noticed that he was wearing something under his hospital gown.

The lace nightgown clung to his waist, and the red marks she had left on his fair back last night were still clearly visible. Looking at these marks, the chaotic memories of last night flooded back, and she paused in her dressing.

The black, sheer stockings were taut, stopping at mid-thigh and leaving a thin line, while the lace straps extended upwards to the lower abdomen. Beneath the slight binding lay an unspeakable destructive urge.

"Captain Heng, I remember you said you liked lace when we were renovating last time." He didn't turn around, but just tilted his head slightly, his voice soft and ethereal, like a thin ribbon floating in the air that could never be grasped.

Do you still like it now?

"Of course."

The sound indicated that Alpha had approached from behind.

Suddenly, the world spun around them, and water splashed up in the bathtub, drowning out the unspeakable sounds inside. Intense pheromones intertwined, finally merging into the splashing water droplets.

In that instant, Yu Nianqing felt like he might drown, but he wasn't sure whether he was trapped by air, water, or something else.

At three o'clock in the morning, Hengxing changed the bed sheets and duvet cover in the bedroom.

When Yu Nianqing woke up the next morning, she found that her body was not as heavy as it had been the previous morning.

He has to adapt gradually, otherwise he can't imagine what kind of catastrophe his body will suffer when he enters his Alpha vulnerable period.

The space beside me was empty, with only a little warmth remaining.

He unconsciously looked up and found Hengxing standing by the window, silently gazing outside.

The sunlight, like scattered gold, streamed into the room, making her eyes and hair appear even brighter and more striking.

Yu Nianqing asked curiously, "Captain Heng, what are you looking at?"

“I’m looking at those two snowmen from yesterday,” Hengxing replied. “Mr. Yu, let’s go dog sledding today.”

Yu Nianqing: "Okay."

Dog sledding is a signature activity at this hotel. There is a special route on the mountain where guests can sit on a sled and be pulled by four sleds to enjoy the mountain scenery.

After returning to the foot of the mountain in their aircraft and explaining their purpose, the administrator warmly led the two to choose a dog.

After seeing the warehouse in its entirety, Hengxing hesitated before asking, "Aren't the sled dogs real?"

The warehouse contained forty or fifty mechanical animals of various kinds, all remarkably realistic in appearance.

Administrator: "That's so unsafe."

She introduced mysteriously, "The mechanical animals in our shop are the best, produced in the same factory as the emperor's pets."

The Emperor's Black Panther?

Hengxing squatted down and took a closer look at the panda in front of him.

Indeed, it is just as lifelike as that black panther.

Looking at these adorable little animals, Yu Nianqing became interested. "So, can I choose one myself?"

Administrator: "Of course, you can choose four. After you've chosen, I'll help you put them in front of the sled."

Yu Nianqing: "Captain Heng, is there anything you like?"

Hengxing patted the panda head in front of him, "I want this one, the rest are up to you."

A dozen minutes later, a sled led by a panda, a cockatoo, a rabbit, and a black swan officially set off from the foot of the mountain.

"You really like these?" Hengxing leaned lazily against the sled, feeling the gentle breeze and warm sunlight.

"If you like, we can buy a few. These animals don't need to eat and won't get sick; they're very easy to raise."

Yu Nianqing leaned forward and gently stroked the little rabbit's fluffy tail.

Little rabbit,

Oh no, it was a giant rabbit, the size of an adult husky, that would turn around and glare at the person behind it every two steps it took, sensing their movements.

"Let's talk about it later," Yu Nianqing said with a smile, then changed her target to touch the panda's tail.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Hengxing pressed a button on the handrail to stop the animals.

She stepped off the sled and stood on the mountaintop viewing platform to admire the beautiful scenery of the entire mountain.

Yu Nianqing sat on the wooden chair next to him, with the mechanical animals surrounding him, obediently letting him pat their heads.

Yu Nianqing noticed that she had a furrowed brow. "What's wrong, Captain Heng?"

Heng Xing said frankly, "I feel very tired just thinking about having to report to the Wanshuang Army in a month or two."

"The emperor said he wants the eldest prince to come and follow me. Just thinking about it makes me tired."

Why did the eldest prince perceive him as so majestic?

Doesn't the eldest prince know how ruthless his mother can be when she hits people?

Heng Xing walked back and sat down next to Yu Nianqing. "The Emperor said he would come to see me on the day I take office."

Actually, he came to find her and start a fight.

Ugh, so annoying.

Seeing her troubled expression, Yu Nianqing offered a few words of comfort, then smiled and reached out to pat her head.

Heng Xing turned her head away and accused, "That's exactly how you touched them!"

Immediately, Yu Nianqing burst into laughter and collapsed onto the panda.

The other mechanical animals moved closer to Hengxing.

"Are you trying to comfort me?" She took turns stroking their fur. "They're quite intelligent, actually."

When noon arrived, the two of them each drank a bottle of nutritional fluid to tide them over, and then rode the sled back down the mountain the same way.

When Hengxing paid the fee and was about to leave, he asked the administrator for the business card of the mechanical animal manufacturer.

"Lien Chung, have you heard of this name?"

On the way back to the hotel on the mountainside, Hengxing looked at the business card and asked Yu Nianqing.

Yu Nianqing replied, "No, I don't know much about machinery companies."

"Captain Heng, does this name sound familiar?"

Heng Xing saved the contact number into the terminal. "No, I was just asking casually."

Life on the snow mountain was very pleasant, and time flew by.

A week later, they flew away from the snow-capped mountain in their aircraft and headed to the next destination.
