I want to have a child of our own.

Wen Shuang abruptly arched her back in sudden discomfort.

She pushed against Ji Shen's chest. "No! If you aren't going to wear one, we... we're not doing this!"

Ji Shen kissed her soft lips over and over again.

His voice was coaxing and seductive.

"I want to have a child of our own."

Even though Wen Shuang was already stirred into a hazy state of passion by him,

she still held fast to her final bottom line. "No... it's still too fast! Ji Shen, you're still on your probation period, and we haven't even settled down yet. I, I certainly don't want a shotgun wedding!"

She practically gritted her teeth as she uttered the final four words.

Ji Shen gazed down at her tear-rimmed, watery eyes beneath him.

He obediently reached into his backpack and pulled out three extra-large ones!

"It was my rashness." He tore open the packaging. "Then we'll wait until we are completely settled down before we talk about it."

.......

By the time the tossing and turning finally ended, Wen Shuang could barely muster the strength to get up and catch a glimpse of the night scenery.

At the foot of Changbai Mountain nestled a small town.

It was called Erdaohe Town.

Unlike the bustling metropolis of Kyoto, the streets here were narrow and petite, dusted with a light flurry of snow.

A pristine blanket of white covered the ground.

The people of Erdaohe Town were exceptionally warm and unpretentious!

Wen Shuang and Ji Shen ate at a specialty restaurant, and the food was remarkably good.

Ever since she got together with Ji Shen, Wen Shuang had never managed to lose weight.

Every time she wanted to go on a diet, Ji Shen would tell her, "Why would you want to diet? You're already so skinny and you want to lose weight! I think you should be trying to gain weight instead!"

His words drove her to stuff herself with meat.

And every time she finished eating, she would be overcome by a deep sense of guilt.

Following the meal, Wen Shuang's stomach was rounded and full.

Hand in hand, the two of them walked back to their inn on foot.

The snow outside was falling even heavier now, and when the cold wind blew, it chilled them to the bone!

However, as someone from the south, Wen Shuang felt a intense sense of curiosity toward this snowy weather.

Kyoto rarely saw snow, and even when it did snow occasionally, it was so stingy with the flakes that it barely amounted to anything.

She had never experienced this kind of heavy, swirling snow before!

Wen Shuang spun around in the snowflakes, reaching out her hands to catch them.

Hexagonal snowflakes landed in her palms, quickly melting into a small puddle of water.

It was icy cold!

Yet despite the cold, she felt utterly unrestrained and free!

Dressed in a snow-white long down jacket, twirling amidst the falling snowflakes, she looked like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm!

Watching the joyful smile on the woman's face, Ji Shen knew he hadn't chosen the wrong place!

After watching her play for quite a while,

Ji Shen unbuttoned his overcoat and embraced Wen Shuang from behind.

She had been shivering from the cold while playing, but suddenly a warm body pressed close against her.

"Afraid you'll catch a cold, so I'm warming you up!"

Wen Shuang laughed like silver chimes. "Brother Shen, you really are thoughtful."

"I'm your boyfriend. If I'm not thoughtful toward you, who should I be thoughtful toward?"

He took Wen Shuang's hands to warm them up as well.

Having scooped up quite a bit of snow earlier, the woman's hands were freezing cold.

Wen Shuang vividly felt the warmth radiating from Ji Shen's body, enveloping her tightly.

Even her heart felt warm and glowing.

At that moment, she felt as though she had somehow truly been immersed in a honey jar of love.

Yu Tian and Zhou Zhou slept until the middle of the night, and upon seeing the two returning, they realized they had just stepped out.

"Oh, look at you two! You go out to play and don't even call the two of us. How outrageous!"

Yu Tian said with his chin raised.

Ji Shen raised an eyebrow. "How would I dare to summon you, young master? I was afraid you were sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Yu Tian took Zhou Zhou's hand. "My dear, let's go. We won't stoop to their level."

Ji Shen turned his head and looked at their retreating backs. "Friendly reminder, this town isn't like Kyoto where everything is open 24 hours. Most of the restaurants are already closed by now. Oh, though if you go out right now, it's probably a great time to admire the snow and the night view!"

Yu Tian and Zhou Zhou: "........"

Early the next morning,

Ji Shen and Wen Shuang got up and set off for Changbai Mountain. Their main tasks for the day were mountain climbing, skiing, and taking gorgeous photos of their little princess.

Yu Tian and Zhou Zhou dragged themselves out of bed through sheer willpower.

The two of them were so sleepy their eyelids kept drooping from staying up too late last night. The moment they stepped outside, however, the sub-zero cold wind blew them wide awake!

"This place is freezing!" Yu Tian crossed his arms and shivered violently.

"Who told you to insist on tagging along back then?"

Ji Shen cast a cool glance at him. He had originally wanted to spend some sweet, private time with Wen Shuang, only for two extra lightbulbs to tag along stubbornly.

Zhou Fang hadn't come along because Chuchu was still away visiting family in another city.

Otherwise, there would have been four lightbulbs instead!

Wen Shuang distributed the body-warmers she had prepared to the two of them. "You might feel a bit better if you stick these inside your clothes."

Zhou Zhou hurriedly pasted them on.

It really was much more comfortable!

"Shuangshuang, you're so thoughtful!"

Wen Shuang smiled gently. "Because I'm usually afraid of the cold, I prepared plenty of these things. If you don't have enough, just ask me for more."

Changbai Mountain stood tall and majestic.

A vast expanse of white, breathtakingly grand and beautiful.

Because it was now the peak winter season, there were also a great many tourists visiting.

The group of them worked hard to climb toward the summit!

Ji Shen possessed the physical stamina of a special forces soldier and wasn't tired at all.

Wen Shuang usually felt her stamina was quite good when dancing, but compared to Ji Shen, she fell noticeably short.

Fearing that Wen Shuang would get tired, Ji Shen offered to carry her up the mountain on his back.

Wen Shuang waved her hands repeatedly, panting lightly, "It's fine, it's fine, I can do it myself!"

Yu Tian and Zhou Zhou simply couldn't keep going, so they took the cable car straight up instead!

Wen Shuang, however, wanted to walk every single step of this mountain journey.

She wanted to make the memory all the more profound and unforgettable when she looked back on it later.

Holding Wen Shuang's hand, Ji Shen stepped onto the final stair, and they finally reached the summit!

The scenery at the top of the mountain was beyond words.

The weather today was exceptionally fine, completely devoid of mist. The Heavenly Lake was crystal clear, its surface sealed in ice by the snow, looking utterly magnificent!

As soon as she reached the top, Wen Shuang felt that all the hardship of climbing the mountain and the biting chill of the wind and snow were instantly worth it.

Suddenly, she felt a profound sense of transcending the mortal world while being embraced by it.

"How breathtaking!"

"It truly is breathtaking."

Ji Shen immediately pulled out his phone to take pictures of Wen Shuang. The wind was so fierce that his hands trembled as he held the camera.

Yet despite being frozen red, the man remained persistent.

Wen Shuang posed in numerous ways.

Even though the wind made her scalp tingle, her smile remained brilliant throughout.

Yu Tian came over. "Do you want me to take a picture of the two of you together?"

Ji Shen: "Of course, take a few more!"

Ji Shen walked over and put his arm around Wen Shuang's shoulder.

"Come on, both of you smile brightly."

Yu Tian pressed the shutter button. Zhou Zhou hurried over to take a look, then frowned, "What kind of photography skills do you have? You made two handsome people look like they have such short legs."

Wen Shuang: "......"

Ji Shen said aloud, "Yu Tian, if you're jealous of my height, just say so. Don't pull these sneaky tricks!"

Yu Tian: "?"

Zhou Zhou said, "Let me do it instead."

Wen Shuang and Ji Shen reset their poses.

After taking a dozen shots, Wen Shuang figured it should be enough and was just about to say they were done when Ji Shen suddenly turned, cupped her waist, and kissed her hard!

"Click!"

Zhou Zhou instantly pressed the shutter button.
