"Hmm, okay, then remember to dress warmly when you get up tomorrow, and don’t forget to wear a scarf and gloves."
"Got it, you too, Senior."
After going abroad, every snowy night, He would long for the phone to ring again, to hear her cheerfully inviting him to build a snowman together.
Every time He looked at the white snow outside the window, it reminded him of the girl who cheered in the snow, playing around like a child.
The two spent nearly an hour before the snowman was finished. Munni asked Yuan Chengmo to stand beside her and take a selfie with the snowman.
Yuan Chengmo’s lips curled into a roguish smile, and he teased, "After all the effort in building this snowman, your real aim was just to take a selfie with me, right?"
His narcissistic comment made Munni roll her eyes involuntarily. She waved him over, "Come here quickly, it’s too cold."
As Yuan Chengmo moved closer, he asked, "Shall we head to ’Zong’ later for some hot ramen and a pot of soju?"
"That sounds like a good idea."
Seeing Munni nodding enthusiastically, Yuan Chengmo chuckled softly, indulgently patting her head, then took the camera from her hands to act as a human selfie stick, taking a few selfies with Munni and the snowman behind them.
After taking the photos, Munni couldn’t wait to pull Yuan Chengmo out of the neighborhood to hail a taxi, muttering as she walked, "I can already hear the soju calling me; this weather calls for a pot of soju to feel cozy."
Yuan Chengmo’s lips maintained a gentle curve, a trace of childlike innocence reflected in his dark eyes.
The two finished their meal at ’Zong’, and by the time they returned, the sky had already dimmed.
Although Yuan Chengmo’s new house was already renovated, it would take some time to choose the furniture. During this period, if he had nowhere else to go, Munni told him he was welcome to stay at her place.
Regarding this, Yuan Chengmo was more than happy to oblige.
As soon as Munni arrived home, she suddenly received a call from Wu Yuchen. She originally thought it was just another random chat since she was probably bored, but unexpectedly, a flustered voice came through the line as soon as she picked up: "Hey, Munni, did you go to see the new house with Yuan Chengmo today?"
"Tsk tsk, I was just with my senior looking at the house this afternoon, and you already got the news. How closely are you following my every move? But how did you find out?"
Amused by Munni’s casual teasing, Wu Yuchen couldn’t help but roll her eyes, realizing Munni was oblivious to the news that had exploded online.
"Just answer me seriously, do you want to be with Yuan Chengmo? Is that why you went with him to see the new house together?"
"What’s that got to do with anything?" Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized the only way Wu Yuchen could find out so quickly in K City was probably through the news.
Suspiciously, she asked, "There wouldn’t be any bizarre news again, would there?"
Munni’s cautious tone inexplicably amused Wu Yuchen, and she replied honestly, "Yes, it’s everywhere! Take a look online yourself."
As expected, Munni rubbed her suddenly aching temples in resignation, "Okay, I’ll hang up now."
With that, she hung up the phone, opened Weibo on her phone, and indeed saw countless insults gathered under her last post.
After searching, Munni realized that when she and Yuan Chengmo went to look at the house, they were photographed by the well-known Orange Entertainment magazine, which published a gossip piece within two hours.
