Chapter 303: Date
Sheng Xiao did not remember Yu Huang asking him to buy dumplings last year.
A few days ago, he found a small red packet in the treasure chest where precious items were kept. His instinct told him that it was given to him by Yu Huang. So, Sheng Xiao went to ask her about the origin of the red packet.
Yu Huang told Sheng Xiao about the dumplings they had last year during the Lunar New Year. “Do you still remember?” Yu Huang did not expect that Sheng Xiao would remember everything she said.
“I remember everything you said.”
Sheng Xiao patted Yu Huang’s head and said, “I didn’t prepare it for you last year. I prepared it in advance this year. I asked my mother to weave this scarf for you. It’s red. You’ll look good in it.”
Sheng Xiao’s method of tying the scarf was simple. He would not do anything fancy. He would do whatever it took to warm her up. He wrapped the scarf around Yu Huang’s neck and covered her chin.
He looked at his work with satisfaction and said, “Not bad, it looks good.”
Yu Huang felt warm after being covered.
Just as Sheng Xiao had said, the guardian of the tower let Yu Huang out after seeing the engagement ring on her finger.
Early in the morning, the two of them boarded a green train to Qiang City.
There was only one train to Qiang City, and it only took two trips a night. Therefore, passengers who needed to go to Qiang City for work or travel needed to take this train early in the morning.
If someone missed it, he could only wait for it the next day.
Hence, there were many passengers on the train. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were stuck in the train together.
The temperature in Qiang City was relatively low, and the entire winter was covered in snow. It was the famous snow city of the Divine Moon Empire. There was no heater in the green carriage, and everyone was shivering from the cold.
The Divine Feather Phoenix had a fire attribute. Yu Huang was naturally warm and unafraid of the cold. She held Sheng Xiao’s hand. When she noticed that his hands were cold, she held his hand and hid it inside her down jacket.

Yu Huang was about to speak when she suddenly heard a middle-aged woman whispering to her son—
“Nan Nan, close your eyes quickly. This kind of thing will cause styes. Young people these days don’t know how to be reserved at all. They are actually so touchy in public. They’re too shameless…”
As beast tamers, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao had better hearing than commoners. They heard what the lady said. Sheng Xiao’s ears turned red and he quickly took his hand out of Yu Huang’s clothes.
Yu Huang laughed.
Half an hour later, the train stopped at a small town. Sheng Xiao could not stand the woman’s gaze anymore. He pulled Yu Huang off the train.
“Let’s drive to Qiang City instead of taking the train.”
“Okay.”
There was a thin layer of ice on the highway to Qiang City. Sheng Xiao put the chain on the SUV.
Yu Huang drove Sheng Xiao to Qiang City at ten in the morning.
After they entered Qiang City, Sheng Xiao dragged Yu Huang to the hot spring. They asked for a separate suite with a bedroom and a small hot spring pool.
Yu Huang had not prepared her clothes in advance for the hot spring. Thus, she wore the hotel’s disposable bathrobe. The bathrobe, with only two thin straps connecting to the dress, was rather sexy.
Yu Huang didn’t wear a bra. She only wore a bathrobe when she went into the water.
Once she was in the water, the nightgown clung to her body.
Even though the areas that should be covered were covered by the bathrobe, the wet dress clung tightly to her body while accentuating her good figure.
She felt that it was too seductive, so she submerged half her body in the hot spring while only revealing her shoulders and head.
Sheng Xiao walked out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He stared at Yu Huang’s thin and fair shoulders for a while before entering the hot spring.
The walls of the courtyard were made of glass and one could see the outside from the inside. However, one could not see the inside from the outside.
Sheng Xiao sat together with Yu Huang as they watched the guests walking around outside the hotel. He felt excited when he thought about how no one would notice what they were doing inside.
Yu Huang had the same thought as him. She took a sip of her strawberry milk tea and suddenly said, “Let’s do what adults should do.”
Sheng Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at her.
Yu Huang was sucking on the milk tea with one hand. Her left hand moved to Sheng Xiao’s side and held his right hand.
Sheng Xiao grabbed Yu Huang’s hand, then pulled her out of the hot spring and into his arms.
The strawberry-flavored kiss first traveled to Sheng Xiao’s lips, then his collarbone and shoulders, then his whole body…
…
After they soaked in the hot spring, it was already one in the afternoon.
The two of them put on their clothes and walked out of the hot spring. They were greeted by the cold wind that made them shiver.
Yu Huang said, “The sky will darken very quickly tonight. Let’s go back after dinner.”
“Okay.”
“What will we eat?”W
Sheng Xiao caught a piece of snow and said, “We should eat hotpot on a snowy day.”
Yu Huang had no objections.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey went to the most famous hotpot restaurant in Qiang City. Knowing that Yu Huang did not eat spicy food, Sheng Xiao ordered a double hotpot.
Yu Huang felt her stomach ache when she saw Sheng Xiao calmly scoop out a bowl of ginger from the spicy hotpot and finish it without blinking.
“You’re really into spicy food.”
Sheng Xiao took a tissue to wipe his nose. The usually high and mighty Professor Sheng seemed down-to-earth at this moment.
Sheng Xiao took a sip of the cold tea. He breathed in the spicy scent and told Yu Huang, “Yufu City used to be in Sichuan. Everyone there likes spicy food, especially my mother. She likes to roast dried red chili peppers in winter.”
Yu Huang didn’t dare to imagine that scene.
Sheng Xiao’s lips turned red after he finished the hotpot.
Seeing that it was still early, Sheng Xiao brought up the idea of going to Qiang City’s ice sculpting park to play. Qiang City’s ice sculpting park was famous throughout the country. The ice sculptures there were vivid and lifelike. When the lights were on, it looked very dreamy.
At the entrance of the park, there was a master in the ice sculpting business. As long as you gave him money, he could sculpt anything.
As soon as the old master saw Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao, he knew that they were not short of money. He quickly shouted, “Custom-made ice sculptures! Unique ice sculptures! Get your girlfriend a customized ice sculpture. All the couples who customized ice sculptures here will get married and have children!”
Sheng Xiao stopped when he heard the last sentence. He pulled Yu Huang to the old master’s stall. “Get us a custom-made one.”
Sheng Xiao put his arm around Yu Huang’s waist and said to his old master, “If we don’t get married and have children in the future, I will settle the account with you.”
His old master dared to say that because he could tell that they were close. He stared at the rings on Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s hands and chuckled. “Don’t worry. You two will definitely do it.”
“You’re quite discerning.” Sheng Xiao was in a good mood when he received the pair of ice sculptures. He gave the man two thousand yuan although it was only one thousand yuan.
Sheng Xiao put the ice sculpture in the freezer. Then, he carried it and drove back to the Divine Realm Academy with Yu Huang.
When they returned to school, Sheng Xiao hid the ice sculpture in the fridge. Yu Huang ate an apple as she asked him, “Are you really going to keep it?”
Sheng Xiao nodded and said, “I’ll keep it for our future children.”
