After Luo Changtian left, only Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan remained in the vast snowfield. Apart from the two of them, there wasn't a single person in sight.
Xue Yanchen made a snowball and gently threw it at Luo Jingyan. Luo Jingyan also made a snowball and threw it at him. Xue Yanchen retaliated, and Luo Jingyan threw it at him again.
The two gradually began to chase each other. Xue Yanchen would usually run a few paces and then deliberately slow down so that she could hit him. Luo Jingyan, on the other hand, didn't hold back and hit him however she wanted. The snow forest was filled with the sounds of the two laughing and joking.
Xue Yanchen threw a snowball at Luo Jingyan, and was chased and attacked by her. He saw a frozen snake in front of him and instinctively stopped. This caught Luo Jingyan off guard, and she bumped into his back due to inertia.
"careful!"
The moment her body touched him, he instinctively turned around, reached out his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and held her tightly in his embrace.
Their bodies were pressed together, and even though thick clothes blocked the view, it still made their ears turn red and their hearts race. They seemed to be able to feel each other's heartbeats.
After a moment of eye contact, Xue Yanchen asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright."
She reached out and gently pushed him, but he didn't push her away. Instead, he tightened his grip on her and held her even closer.
"Brother Xue."
"Um."
She simply gave a low reply and made no other response.
"Brother Xue?"
"Um?"
He raised his voice a little, but there was still no other reaction; he didn't loosen his grip on her at all.
After a while, seeing that she was no longer resisting, he hugged her and subconsciously rested his chin on her shoulder. The warmth of his breath made her feel a tingling sensation.
Luo Jingyan didn't move. Actually, she also wanted to hug Xue Yanchen. There was no one around, so she wasn't afraid of being seen by others.
Then, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his waist. The man noticed her action and immediately became excited.
After a while, he finally spoke up: "Jingyan, let's be a real couple."
Luo Jingyan nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
"That's great! Jingyan, you finally said yes."
Overjoyed, he picked her up and spun her around several times, excitedly shouting, "Luo Jingyan agreed to date me! She agreed to date me!"
Because his voice was too loud, Luo Jingyan was afraid of attracting attention from people nearby, so she quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
"What are you doing? Do you want the whole village to hear?"
He smiled, looking a little silly: "You agreed to be my girlfriend, I'm so happy and excited, I couldn't help myself."
Luo Jingyan appeared relatively calm at this moment, but inside she was overjoyed.
"Put me down first."
He refused: "Hold me a little longer. This is a historic moment that needs to be commemorated. I don't want to let go."
"Alright then." We had no choice but to let him have his way.
He held her without doing anything else, just excitedly walking around in the snow, his eyes fixed on her, unwilling to look away.
After a while, Luo Jingyan said, "Now you should put me down. Even the most memorable moments can't just sit there doing nothing. We can keep them in our hearts forever. Put me down, I have something important to tell you."
Xue Yanchen then put her down, still holding her shoulder with one arm, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Tell me."
Luo Jingyan resumed her serious attitude and asked him, "Since we're going to be a couple, we'll definitely get married in the future, right?"
"That's for sure. Dating without the intention of marriage is just being a scoundrel. I, Xue Yanchen, would never be a scoundrel to anyone, let alone to you."
"Alright, since that's the case, I need to tell you some things about me that you don't know. It's not convenient here, let's talk about it when we get back."
"good."
Xue Yanchen let go of her, and the two walked side by side back to the educated youth settlement.
On the way, they ran into Luo Changtian, who had run back: "Sister, Brother Xue, why are you back? Let's go back and continue our snowball fight, I haven't had enough fun yet."
"I'm not playing anymore," Luo Jingyan said. "We're all tired and can't play with you today. Go back and find someone else to play with."
Luo Changtian replied disappointedly, "Alright then."
They returned to the educated youth settlement. Luo Jingyan said to Luo Changtian, "I need to have a few words with Brother Xue alone. When you're done playing, go back to the men's dormitory. Come over when I call you."
"OK."
After seeing Luo Changtian off, Luo Jingyan turned around and found Xue Yanchen holding a cup of hot water for her, saying, "Warm your hands."
"Thank you." Luo Jingyan took the cup, and her palm quickly warmed up.
They sat down facing each other at the kang table. "And Luo Jingyan, that's such an important secret... I also have something very important to tell you."
"Actually, I lied to you about my parents' situation before. My brother and I were not originally supposed to go to the countryside. It was because my parents made a mistake in their revolutionary stance that they were sent down to the countryside, and we had no choice but to go.
Brother Xue, I'm sorry I'm only telling you this now. If you want to back out, I can return what you bought me, or give you the money back. I won't let you suffer a loss. Also, I want to apologize for taking up so many of your time.
After speaking, he looked at Xue Yanchen. However, he didn't see any disappointment or anger on Xue Yanchen's face; instead, he was very calm. "Brother Xue, aren't you surprised?"
“It was a bit of a surprise, but I don’t think that will be an obstacle for us to be together.”
He still had a secret he hadn't told Luo Jingyan about his profession, but he couldn't reveal it now.
Jingyan, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to tell you some things yet.
Luo Jingyan is the girl he has chosen, and no matter what happens in the future, he will marry her.
"Jingyan, you are the first girl I've ever loved. I've never felt this way about any other girl before. I've made up my mind about you, and I want to marry you and spend my life with you. Nothing can stop us. Jingyan, when are we getting married?"
