Su Yinhe also felt pity for him. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It was pathetically adorable; she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

"I’m not playing anymore, I’m not. I won’t do the snowball fight. I’m going to make a snowman, Galaxy, please let me be," Lin Murong begged Su Yinhe for mercy.

"Ah, how come you can’t handle it so quickly?" Su Yinhe looked down on him.

"I can’t help it, I’m a useless man," Lin Murong straightforwardly admitted.

Su Yinhe: "..."

He really admitted it without any hesitation.

"Alright, alright, then you... go play something else." Su Yinhe hadn’t actually had enough fun yet; she was just starting to get into it.

Yet Lin Murong was no longer able.

But she couldn’t always pick on him; it was enough.

Su Yinhe decided to head back to the supermarket.

She might as well go rest.

"I can play with you," Chi Yan noticed she hadn’t fully enjoyed herself.

He might not like playing these kinds of games, but if Galaxy wanted to, he’d be sure to join.

"Ah? No need," Su Yinhe tiptoed, touching his face. Her fingers were very cold due to making snowballs, and Chi Yan felt it but didn’t dodge.

"Oh dear, I couldn’t bear to hit you." After saying that, Su Yinhe was ready to take him back to the supermarket.

She knew he didn’t like it.

"It’s okay, as long as you’re happy."

"That’s not okay; hitting you wouldn’t make me happy, hitting Lin Murong is fun," Su Yinhe shook her head and refused.

The very Lin Murong who was listening in on the side: "???"

I mean, you can show off all you want, but why drag me into it?

Am I some sort of cheap person?

"Don’t you think you guys are being too mean?" Lin Murong asked the soul-grating question.

"Not really. You have fun; we’re heading back."

Lin Murong: "..."

Why? Why did he feel such a deep sense of powerlessness?

They left, leaving Lin Murong alone as they walked away.

They entered the supermarket, and Lin Murong looked at the snowball he had just made, a bit angry.

After all, he hadn’t hit them even once.

Dang it.

They hit him and then ran off.

He didn’t even get the chance to get revenge.

Lin Murong was quite upset.

Feeling frustrated, Lin Murong decided to build a snowman to try to ease his mood.

He wanted to make an adorable snowman.

Once he’d made up his mind, Lin Murong began to build.

To make a snowman, first, you roll a snowball.

Lin Murong started rolling a snowball.

At first, it was just a very small snowball in his hands, but then it kept getting bigger and bigger.

Eventually, it became so large that Lin Murong started to get scared.

He could still push it over, but...

It was just too big, and it looked quite oppressive.

Then, the problem arose.

The body of the snowman was too large, so the head became an issue.

If he made the head too big as well, he wouldn’t be able to put it on.

But if it was too small...

It would look unattractive.

Lin Murong was getting frustrated.

He couldn’t possibly start rolling another snowball.

He’d been rolling for so long, he’d broken into a sweat.

Although he wasn’t sure if the sweat came from the snowball fight or from rolling the snowball.

After thinking for a while, Lin Murong still used the large snowball.

He didn’t have a choice; he had to make the snowman’s head smaller.

Lin Murong made the head smaller, but it was still difficult to fit it on as the body was too large and too tall, taller than three of him put together.

And he didn’t want to leave any marks on the snowman’s body.

In the end, it took immense effort, akin to that of nine bulls and two tigers, before he finally managed to secure the head on top of the snowman.

But...

It looked so ugly.

Lin Murong looked at the huge snowman he had built, feeling a bit repulsed.

Too ugly.

A huge and ugly snowman.

Sigh.

But, it was made by him, so he couldn’t despise it.

Lin Murong began to inspect it carefully, desperately trying to find something attractive about it.

He tried to make himself like the giant snowman’s appearance, but no matter how he looked at it, he still found it unappealing.

Ugly, so ugly.

Could it be due to the lack of decorations?

As Lin Murong was contemplating his disgust, a realization dawned on him.

The snowman was made of two snowballs stacked on top of each other without any decorations; it was no wonder it was unsightly.

He needed to get some decorations—perhaps that would make it look better.

With that thought, Lin Murong dashed back to the supermarket like the wind, grabbed a bunch of stuff, and ran back to decorate the snowman.

Lin Murong was very earnest in his decorating efforts: eyes, a nose, a mouth, buttons, arms, a hat, a scarf... even blush. He adorned it with everything he could think of.

Since the snowman was so large, it took quite some effort to decorate.

The result was...

It looked even uglier.

Worse than the barren two snowballs before.

Lin Murong stared at the freshly made ugly snowman and fell into deep thought.

What on earth had all his toil been for?

It was truly too ugly.

So ugly that he couldn’t bear to continue looking.

In the end, Lin Murong took one last glance, sighed, and returned to the supermarket with the remaining items.

"Huh? Weren’t you making a snowman? Why are you back so soon? Aren’t you going to make a few more?" Su Yinhe was surprised to see him return so quickly.

"I won’t make any more, it’s too ugly," Lin Murong’s face scrunched up in distaste.

He really was repulsed.

Seeing his disappointment and sorrow, Su Yinhe patted his arm.

"Oh, it’s okay, it actually looks pretty nice."

"Really?" Lin Murong stared directly at her.

"Yeah," Su Yinhe nodded.

"Then can you talk without holding back your laugh?"

Su Yinhe: "..."

"Pfffhahaha... sorry, hahaha... actually, it’s quite cute. It’s ’ugly-cute,’ hahaha..." Su Yinhe could no longer hold it in and burst into laughter, unable to straighten her waist.

Lin Murong: "..."

He knew it. He just knew it.

Humph.

Liars.

Lin Murong was gloomy and didn’t want to bother with her anymore.

"Hey, don’t overthink it. It’s just one ugly snowman. You could try making a few more; maybe the next ones won’t be so ugly?"

"What if... they turn out uglier?"

"Then... then this one would seem not ugly in comparison," Su Yinhe hesitated for two seconds before responding.

Lin Murong: "..."

It sounded logical yet ridiculous.

"I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Galaxy, just go. Leave me alone for a while. Don’t ask me who ’a while’ is."

Lin Murong sat down and hugged himself.

Right now, he just wanted some peace.

"Um... so who is ’a while’?"

Lin Murong: "..."

"Hahaha, just kidding." Su Yinhe couldn’t help herself seeing Lin Murong like this.

Lin Murong stared at her with resentment.

"Galaxy, remember to sleep with your eyes open tonight." He feared his resentment was so strong; he might climb to her window tonight.

"No worries, I can sleep with Chi Yan," Su Yinhe waved her hand nonchalantly.

Chi Yan was vigilant.

Lin Murong: "..."

Darn it.

Darn it.

Lin Murong’s resentment grew.

Lin Murong didn’t want to see her anymore, he buried his head and truly needed some quiet—where are you, serenity?

"Do you really just want some quiet?" Su Yinhe was still asking beside him.

"Yeah."

"Really?"
