Shen Yanming reached into his pocket and pulled out two small stones and a red plastic bottle cap.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the two little ones, I placed the stone where the eyes were. As for the bottle cap, that's where the mouth is.
Thus, a simple, rough version of a snowman was completed.
Shen Yanming felt somewhat embarrassed by this charlatan.
Seeing his wife trying not to laugh, he reached out and pinched Bi Qiaoan's ear: "Isn't it all your fault? Your husband has embarrassed himself."
"No, no, they're obviously very cute!" Bi Qiaoan laughed and tried to dodge, but because of the two little babies in her arms, she could only twist slightly.
As a result, Shen Yanming caught her red-handed, and the icy touch made her shiver violently.
"Oh dear, it's so cold! Can't you show some consideration for your wife? You even went and scratched her with wolf claws. Don't you know how low it is outside?"
Shen Yanming awkwardly withdrew his hand: "Ha, sorry, I was just a little excited."
Bi Qiaoan glared at him and then said, "Come and give me a hug. My legs are numb from squatting like this." Most importantly, my bottom is touching the snow, my pants are all wet, and I can't move. It's so uncomfortable.
Shen Yanming quickly brushed the snow off his gloves and then picked up An'an. An'an then wriggled around, trying to find the snowman.
Shen Yanming, puzzled, carried him to the snowman he had just built. The child stretched out his little arm to hug it, then turned to look at Shen Yanming: "Huh?"
Shen Yanming didn't understand what his son meant, so he turned to ask Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, then smiled and said, "Who said your snowman is ugly? Look how much our An'an likes it."
At this moment, Nuannuan stretched out her little arms. Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan assumed that she also wanted to have a close encounter with the snowman baby, so she placed her in front of the snowman. As a result, Nuannuan hugged the snowman tightly with both of her little arms and wouldn't let go.
Now I understand, they want to take the baby snowman home.
But the temperature at home is so high that it would melt if I took it back.
"My dear, it's too hot inside. The snowman won't be able to stand it. This snowy world outside is its true home."
To make the two children understand his meaning, Shen Yanming even took his hands out of his gloves, caught a large snowflake, and let it melt in his palm.
"Look, if you bring the baby snowman home, it will end up just like this snowflake—it will melt into water."
Shen Yanming had really overestimated the intelligence of his two babies. Even if they were smart, they were still just two little babies who were only six months old. Besides, the snowflakes they saw through the plastic sheet weren't really that clear.
An'an and Nuannuan twisted their little bodies, refusing to give in. Just as Bi Qiaoan was about to say something, she heard someone cry out "Ouch!" in the distance.
The sound was tinged with pain. The couple quickly picked up their two babies and looked into the distance.
A girl was seen crouching in the snow, her hand pressed against a wound on her forehead. Blood from the wound stained a large patch of snowflakes red.
"What happened? He was fine, how did he get injured?" Seeing this, a group of people rushed over to help.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan exchanged a glance, then carried their two children forward. Seeing everyone running in the same direction, the two little darlings instantly forgot about the snowman baby and prepared to go watch the fun with their parents.
However, the road was really difficult to walk. Before they even got there, they heard the girl say, "I don't know either. Something just flew down from the sky and hit me on the head."
Everyone looked up, wondering which heartless person had thrown something from the sky. But after looking around, they all thought it was highly unlikely.
The guards' dormitories were built rather low for certain reasons. At most three or four stories high, so even if something were thrown, it wouldn't be enough to break the little girl's forehead.
Moreover, she was quite far from the dormitory building.
Unable to find the cause, someone suggested, "Let's find out what exactly smashed it."
"Yes, yes, we need to know what hit it and caused this damage."
"Hey, stop making a scene. The most important thing is to get the girl to the hospital for treatment, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's freezing cold, we're freezing."
The girl was still a little dazed. She took her hand off the wound and said, "It's frozen!"
Everyone looked and saw that it was true. The blood had frozen on the skin as soon as it flowed out; it really stopped the bleeding very quickly.
"No matter what, you should still let the doctor check you out, just in case there's something wrong and you regret it for the rest of your life." An older woman helped the girl up: "Come on, I'll take you there."
"Yes, don't worry, we have so many people here, we'll definitely be able to find out what hit the person. Don't worry, we'll preserve the evidence for you, and then we'll investigate whether it was intentional or an accident."
The girl nodded: "Then thank you very much, everyone."
Her steps were unsteady, indicating that she had been hit hard.
Seeing this, the couple considered leaving. However, everyone was looking down and searching, so they felt embarrassed to retreat at this time.
Because so many people had gathered, things were chaotic and there wasn't much progress for the time being.
Shen Yanming gave Bi Qiaoan a wink, and the two walked to the edge of the crowd, preparing to go home.
But then someone exclaimed, "Found it!"
The couple stopped in their tracks, also curious to know what kind of extraterrestrial object it was.
"Look, there it is!" A little boy of eight or nine years old excitedly held up a transparent object the size of an egg. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Shen Yanming would have truly thought it was a crystal or a diamond.
Because it's really beautiful. It's incredibly translucent and has a sheen. It's just that the red bloodstains at the edges are a bit unsightly.
"What is this? Is it an ice cube?" someone asked.
The little boy nodded. "It should be. It looks very similar, and it's cool and refreshing."
Curious people reached out and picked up the piece of ice to examine it closely. The little boy didn't stop them, and pointed to a pit not far away, saying, "That's where I found it."
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that it was a small, deep pit. The ice block seemed to have been inserted at an angle, without disturbing the surrounding snow at all.
The person who took the ice cube looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
He handed it to the person next to him and said, "I don't think this is man-made. Who else can freeze such a smooth block of ice, so clear and shiny, without any sharp edges? It's like it was specially polished."
"If it wasn't man-made, could it have fallen from the sky? None of us have ever heard of hail falling in the dead of winter. Besides, has any of you ever seen hail that looks like this?"
This question caused a moment of silence among the crowd, because the matter was quite illogical.
