Snowflakes mixed with hail fell on her cheeks, bringing with them a slight sting of cold.
Xu Yuan looked at the beautiful and mature young woman with a displeased expression; among the whirling snow, she bloomed like proud plum blossoms in the cold, graceful and enchanting.
Xu Yuan earnestly said, "I don't want to die, and if possible, I'd like to help you too, but if it's just acting, Yaoyao will definitely see through it, so..."
"So what?"
Tao Tiantian looked a bit impatient.
"Can you stop talking in riddles and just say what you have to say quickly?"
"So, I really have to fall for you for it to work."
Xu Yuan gazed at her with sincerity in his eyes.
Tao Tiantian inevitably fell silent.
"Fall for me?"
Her breath unintentionally became heated, and her eyes dared not meet his.
After a long while, she let out a light breath and asked, "Then... what do I have to do for you to fall for me?"
"This... I don't know either."
