Chapter 127 Even if I make money, it's still for you to spend, right?
Li Xiaoyun was very happy, sometimes spinning and sometimes gliding on the ice, each movement so calm and unhurried.
Her long, dark hair shone in the morning light, fluttering as she turned, making her even more radiant and beautiful.
She was bending over, one hand touching the ice, her whole body tracing a graceful arc.
The red scarf fluttered in the wind, highlighting her fair and rosy complexion.
Turning, gliding, and taking small steps—a series of fluid movements, like a swan dancing on a lake.
Li Xiangyang was stunned.
He didn't even care about the cold wind blowing on his face; his eyes followed her every step.
"What are you looking at?" Li Xiaoyun deliberately turned around and stopped in front of him with a beautiful turn, her eyes sparkling and a smug smile on her lips.
“It looks good…” Li Xiangyang said blankly.
"Who's prettier?" Li Xiaoyun winked playfully.
She was slightly out of breath, her thin lips were rosy, and her cheeks were flushed from the exercise.
“You…” Li Xiangyang said truthfully, “You look really good when you ice skate.”
"That's right!" Li Xiaoyun raised her chin, her face full of pride. "If I had a pair of ice skates, I could skate even better."
As she spoke, she held out her hand: "Come on, let's do it together."
"I..." Li Xiangyang hesitated, his mind starting to waver.
It's not that I can't skate; I grew up in the countryside, and everyone has had fun on the ice, just skating around like crazy. But Li Xiaoyun skates so beautifully.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyun saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"
"Hey, yeah. My skating style..." Li Xiangyang scratched his head sheepishly, "is like a dog chasing a rabbit, sometimes I'm headfirst, sometimes I'm sprawled on my back."
“Who hasn’t been through that phase?” Li Xiaoyun took his hand and led him onto the ice. “Come on, I’ll teach you.”
Li Xiangyang was dragged along by her, and he became flustered as soon as he got on the ice.
She slipped and staggered, and if Li Xiaoyun hadn't been there to support her, she would have fallen flat on her face.
"Don't be nervous," Li Xiaoyun said, placing one hand on his waist and holding his hand with the other. "Look at me, lean forward, yes, just like that..."
She took Li Xiangyang's hand and led him to slowly glide across the ice.
At first, Li Xiangyang was so nervous that his palms were sweating, afraid that he might accidentally fall flat on his face.
With Li Xiaoyun by his side, he gradually relaxed and his movements became much smoother.
"Look at you," Li Xiaoyun said with a smile, "you've got it now, haven't you? That's the spirit I'm looking for."
Li Xiangyang had indeed found his rhythm, and his footwork became increasingly fluid.
The two held hands and drew lines on the ice.
The winter sun shines on the ice, refracting golden light like scattered diamonds.
"Hey, look over there!" Li Xiangyang suddenly pointed into the distance.
As soon as Li Xiaoyun turned her head, he seized the opportunity to speed up and glide a long distance away, then turned back triumphantly and shouted, "Serves you right for laughing at me earlier!"
"So, you've learned it all, so you're going to cheat now, huh?" Li Xiaoyun pretended to be angry and took off chasing after him.
The two chased each other, laughing and joking, with bursts of cheerful laughter echoing from time to time.
Li Xiangyang would sometimes deliberately slow down to wait for her to catch up, and sometimes he would suddenly accelerate and escape.
Not to be outdone, Li Xiaoyun skillfully darted around on the ice, always finding a shortcut to catch up with him.
"Ouch!" Li Xiangyang made a sharp turn but didn't turn properly and sat down on the ice with a thud.
Li Xiaoyun tried to stop herself but it was too late, and she threw herself into his arms.
Their faces were instantly pressed very close, their breaths mingling together.
Li Xiangyang gazed at the small face so close to his. Li Xiaoyun's cheeks were flushed from the exercise, her eyes were bright, and her breath on his face carried a slight coolness.
Although they were separated by thick cotton clothes, her warm body temperature still seeped through them. Li Xiangyang gently put his arm around her waist, feeling a ticklish sensation in his heart, like a kitten scratching at him.
"What are you looking at..." Li Xiaoyun said softly, her voice tinged with shyness. Her eyes were half-closed, her eyelashes fluttering gently, as if she were expecting something.
Li Xiangyang looked at her slightly pale lips, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't resist any longer, so he gently kissed her.
Li Xiaoyun trembled slightly, then closed her eyes, her slender fingers gripping his clothes tightly.
Even through the thick cotton coat, Li Xiangyang could still feel her slightly trembling body. The biting cold of the icy surface did nothing to extinguish their burning hearts.
After what seemed like an eternity, the two reluctantly parted. Li Xiaoyun buried her head in his chest, her ears burning red.
"How old are you?" she whispered reproachfully, "Aren't you afraid of being seen..."
"There's nobody here," Li Xiangyang said with a smile. "Besides, on such a cold day, who wouldn't be staying indoors to keep warm?"
"That won't do either..." Li Xiaoyun gently punched him, but showed no intention of getting out of his arms.
The two of them nestled together on the ice, while a few clear birdsongs drifted from afar. Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds and shone on the ice, refracting into dappled golden light.
“You skate really well,” Li Xiangyang said softly. “I really enjoy watching you skate.”
“Here we go again,” Li Xiaoyun buried her head in his chest.
“I’m serious,” Li Xiangyang said, holding her hand, “You have no idea how beautiful you looked just now. I couldn’t take my eyes off you. How about this, I’ll go to town another day and buy you a pair of ice skates. We’ll come again next time.”
Li Xiaoyun looked up, her eyes lighting up, but then shook her head: "That thing is too expensive, I'd better not."
"That won't do. How much is it even worth? Your happiness is the most important thing," Li Xiangyang laughed, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Besides, Wang Ergou has over two thousand, and so do I. If I earn any, it'll be for you to spend, right?"
"You..." Li Xiaoyun smiled, her eyes sparkling, "You just know how to spoil me."
“That’s right,” Li Xiangyang said seriously, “My wife, if I don’t spoil her, who will?”
"Who, who is your wife..." Li Xiaoyun blushed, twisting her scarf with her fingers.
"What, you're not happy?" Li Xiangyang teased her deliberately, "Then who did I just kiss?"
"You..." Li Xiaoyun raised her fist to hit him, but Li Xiangyang grabbed her wrist and gave her a light kiss on the lips.
"Li Xiangyang!" Li Xiaoyun stomped her feet in embarrassment, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Aren't you cold?" Li Xiangyang asked with a smile. "Let's go back, you can't stay cold any longer."
"Mmm." Li Xiaoyun nodded, letting him lead her back by the hand. After a few steps, she whispered again, "Um..."
"Um?"
"We really don't need the ice skates anymore..."
“What are you saying?” Li Xiangyang interrupted her. “I can’t even come up with this little bit of money, do you even deserve to…”
He didn't finish speaking, but Li Xiaoyun already understood what he meant, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
