Lu Yan got tired of playing and lay on Zhuang Yan's back, her legs swinging gently.
Zhuang Yan has a constitution that tends to be hot, so it feels especially comfortable to lean against him on a cold day, like sleeping in a sun-drenched cradle.
The last attraction was the Ferris wheel, and because of a beautiful symbolism, the people queuing up were all couples.
Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan went inside. As soon as the door closed, they sat down hand in hand, looking out at the view. The view from the high place was unobstructed. Zhuang Yan took out his phone to take pictures of Lu Yan and couldn't help but hold her hand and kiss her soft lips.
According to the Ferris wheel's official advertising, if lovers kiss when it reaches the highest point, they will be able to stay together until the end.
Zhuang Yan had never believed in these things before, but now he wanted to give it a try.
"It's snowing, Zhuang Yan," Lu Yan, who had been nestled against his neck, suddenly said.
Zhuang Yan looked outside and, sure enough, snowflakes began to fall from the misty sky.
He wasn't mistaken; it really did snow this year.
It hasn't snowed in Chengdu for many years. After Lu Yan got off the Ferris wheel, she tried to catch the snowflakes with her hands. The tiny snowflakes, about the size of rice grains, disappeared in an instant.
Zhuang Yan stood beside her and gently brushed the snowflakes off her hair.
He thought of a line of poetry that was particularly fitting to say now: "If we are together in the snow one day, we can be considered to have grown old together in this life."
Lu Yan looked at him, and after a while teased, "What's the point of growing old together with snowflakes? They melt away as soon as it gets hot. It's too short-lived. I still prefer to grow old with you naturally, preferably together until we're a hundred years old. At that time, there's no need to grow old together in the snow."
"Okay, then let's live to be a hundred years old together."
Upon arriving at the location, the accompanying staff announced the end of the recording. Zhuang Yan, seeing that it was still early, invited everyone to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Because the recording was done outdoors, many people recognized them and secretly took photos and videos, which were then posted online.
# Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan have officially announced their relationship.
It's reasonable; they're all ordinary people, not celebrities or idols, so many people support them. Only a small number of people are confused as to why Lu Yan would fall for Zhuang Yan. Some even assert that their relationship is scripted and they will definitely break up once their contract expires.
In such situations, gossip media inevitably recount the events, listing the timelines clearly, each entry resembling a love memoir.
For example, when did Lu Yan start liking Zhuang Yan?
Lu Yan had her eye on Zhuang Yan even when he and Xia Wan were still engaged. She waited patiently for years until the two broke off their engagement. In order to win Zhuang Yan over, she even invested in a dating reality show to lure him into a trap, so that she could openly pursue him on the show.
Therefore, from another perspective, this variety show can also be called "Lu Yan's Pursuit of Her Husband".
Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan are both people who don't like using Weibo. Not to mention Weibo, they are not interested in other social media apps either, and they even watch very few short videos.
After the show's recording ended, the two threw themselves into their work. Zhuang Yan made a plan for the Xia family's previous businesses and also helped Lu Yan manage the Lu family's businesses in his spare time.
After the two went public with their relationship, Zhuang Yan would go online during her breaks and found that the netizens' analyses were quite insightful.
Zhuang Yan was also curious: When did Lu Yan start liking him? And why did she like him?
Jiang Ning liked him because of their youthful infatuation, while An Xinrong liked him because she lacked love.
Lu Yan is completely different from the other two. What could possibly make her like him? To say it was love at first sight is a bit hasty, and to say it developed over time is also rather weak.
Zhuang Yan scrolled through the trending topics, logged in with a secondary account, clicked into the CP super topic, and became engrossed in reading the short essays written by netizens analyzing the time periods.
That night, Lu Yan lay on the bed wearing a fluffy nightgown, her hair still wet. Zhuang Yan held a hairdryer and dried her hair while asking, "Yan Yan, why do you like me?"
Zhuang Yan's fingers spun through her hair, massaging it. The warm air blew across her scalp, and she comfortably closed her eyes, her voice languid: "Why do you think that is?"
Zhuang Yan said seriously, "It can't be because of my face, can it?"
Lu Yan opened her eyes, looked at Zhuang Yan's face, and said with a smile, "You're so handsome, it's fine if I like your face. You should be more confident and bold."
Zhuang Yan knew immediately that Lu Yan was joking. If she really liked people based on their looks, she wouldn't have been a staunch non-marriage advocate in her past life.
There were indeed reasons why Lu Yan fell in love with Zhuang Yan, but those events were memories she found unbearable.
Seeing Zhuang Yan's curious and inquisitive look, Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell you in a couple of days when I've thought it through."
Zhuang Yan suddenly perked up, feeling that Lu Yan's stammering manner suggested she was hiding something from him.
Lu Yan changed the subject: "What voice messages did Jiang Ning and An Xinrong send you on Christmas Day?"
“An Xinrong didn’t say anything, but she apologized to me.”
"He knows his mistakes and can correct them; he can distinguish right from wrong. He's a good child. What about Jiang Ning?"
"Jiang Ning said she'd invite us to her house for dinner in a few days. Aunt Jiang used to run a late-night snack shop. Didn't you say the dishes I brought back last time were delicious? They'll taste even better freshly made."
"Okay, we'll buy some gifts then."
After her hair was dried, Lu Yan felt soft and cuddly. Even though she hadn't worn perfume, she smelled wonderful. She reached out and hugged the fox plush toy to her chest, rubbing it against it.
After finishing work each day, she would come home, take a hot shower, and feel lazy, lying in bed not wanting to move. Only in front of Zhuang Yan could she let down her guard and be a carefree girl, without having to think about anything.
After putting away the hairdryer, Zhuang Yan got up and carried Lu Yan to the bed: "Let's sleep."
