Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua watched Li Jianjia hand him the Ice Snow Ring, and he was stunned for a moment; he had never expected Li Jianjia to be so simple, wanting something so simple.

He had thought that women in this world, when loving a man, must have some ulterior motive—either for his looks, his money, or something else.

But he never expected Li Jianjia to be so pure; she wanted nothing at all, just pure love.

Seeing Wang Xiaohua standing there stunned, Li Jianjia thought he was just shy and not good at creating these ceremonial gestures.

She didn't get angry, just smiled and let it pass:

"Looking at your dazed expression, I know you're not good with words; you don't have to put it on me, reach out your hand, I'll put it on you."

Wang Xiaohua came back to his senses, his eye sockets already somewhat red, he hurriedly reached out his hand, his expression somewhat at a loss.

Li Jianjia put that simple ring made of ice and snow on his left ring finger:

"Wang Xiaohua, after putting on this ring, you're mine, agree?"

"Agree, agree..." Wang Xiaohua's voice trembled somewhat.

"You're not allowed to go back on your word."

"Mm, I won't go back on it, won't go back on it for a lifetime."

"You can return it if you want, unless you return me a ring exactly the same."

Li Jianjia smiled playfully; Wang Xiaohua wanted to pull his hand back to look, but she said: "Don't move yet, I want to plant this ring in your heart."

Li Jianjia covered Wang Xiaohua's left hand with both hands; after a while, the ring on his left ring finger turned into a puddle of ice water and disappeared.

"Alright, this is magic cast with my divine power; the ring has been planted in your heart, and if you dare abandon me in the future, you will suffer divine punishment!"

Li Jianjia's face still wore a naive, radiant smile.

Wang Xiaohua could no longer hold back; he took the initiative and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly:

"Jianjia, I will protect you with this lifetime."

Wang Xiaohua spoke the promise from the bottom of his heart by Li Jianjia's ear.

At this moment, he truly felt that only by protecting Li Jianjia with a lifetime could he repay her pure and innocent love for him.

He once thought he was as humble as dust.

He was born lowly and unworthy of possessing pure love.

But Li Jianjia gave him all of this.

The two embraced in the snow for a long time without separating.

No one knew how long—maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, or even longer.

Until their hair was dyed white by snowflakes.

Only then did they leave hand in hand.

Because it was snowing too heavily, they went to the library together to look around.

Learning that Wang Xiaohua was preparing for the IELTS, Li Jianjia gave him some suggestions on learning English, then found some books in the library, and they studied together.

Around six in the afternoon, the snow stopped and the weather grew colder.

The two went to the cafeteria for dinner together, then Wang Xiaohua sent Li Jianjia back to the hotel they had booked.

Because they planned to climb the Great Wall early tomorrow morning, they had to rest early today, so Wang Xiaohua sent Li Jianjia back to the hotel so early.

Back at the hotel, the two entered the room, closed the door, turned on the heating, and it was warm and cozy.

Wang Xiaohua wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Li Jianjia grabbed his hand:

"Stay with me a little longer."

Wang Xiaohua could only agree.

The two sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to do or what to say.

Silent, embarrassed, uneasy.

At this moment, strange female cries came from the next room again.

Wang Xiaohua became even more embarrassed.

Li Jianjia couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Wang Xiaohua broke the silence.

"I'm laughing at how much stamina they have."

"Who knows..." Wang Xiaohua felt uncomfortable all over, perhaps because he was nervous, or perhaps for some other reason.

"By the way, have you ever thought..." Li Jianjia hesitated.

"Thought about what?" Wang Xiaohua didn't understand.

"Thought about... oh, forget it..."

"Just say it straight, what's there to hem and haw about, I'm not an outsider." Wang Xiaohua asked.

"Like the room next door..." Li Jianjia lowered her head, blushing, her voice very soft, like a mosquito's cry.

Wang Xiaohua trembled all over, as if struck by lightning.

He indeed had never thought about it.

He felt Li Jianjia was pure, sacred, clean, so he had never thought about how to be with her.

Being able to establish a romantic relationship with Li Jianjia was already very satisfying.

As for that sort of thing, he didn't really understand it, nor had he ever thought things would progress to that step so quickly.

But now Li Jianjia had brought it up herself.

This inevitably opened a small gap in the taboo deep within his heart.

As a result, he felt somewhat restless.

"Jianjia, I... I don't really know how..."

Xiao Hua replied awkwardly.

In the past, he had focused entirely on his studies, so how would he know anything about that?

Except when he first encountered biology class in junior high school, where the teacher helped popularize some knowledge on that subject, he had never been exposed to it at other times.

When it came to sex education, he was severely lacking.

His parents never mentioned it, and he couldn't access it himself.

Some children who liked going online and playing with mobile phones might be able to encounter some knowledge on that subject from the internet and from their phones.

But before the college entrance exam ended, Xiao Hua had never owned his own mobile phone, and going to internet cafes to go online was rare, so he really almost completely didn't know how to go about doing that sort of thing.

Roughly he knew, and he also knew that the essence of humans and animals in courtship was the same, but when it came to implementing specific details, he was completely clueless.

"I don't really know either, but do you want to?" Li Jianjia asked.

Both were each other's first love, and indeed neither knew how.

Although Li Jianjia had heard her parents talk about safety knowledge regarding that subject, she had never actually crossed that line.

But the things engraved in the genes were now driving Li Jianjia at this time, making her cross that red line.

Plus now in this small room, this enclosed space, there were only her and Xiao Hua.

The atmosphere had become ambiguous to the extreme.

"I don't know, I guess I want to..."

Xiao Hua's tone was hesitant; he felt somewhat uncomfortable all over, his muscles became stiff, and a nameless fire burned in his heart, so he guessed he probably did want to.

"How about we try?"

Li Jianjia turned back, looking at Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua looked at her.

The two involuntarily drew closer and slowly began to kiss.

This was also their first kiss with each other, and neither knew how to do it.

The braces in Xiao Hua's mouth scraped Li Jianjia's lip once.

Making her shudder, her lip bled.

"Are you alright? It's all my fault."

Xiao Hua panicked, hurriedly grabbed a tissue, and helped Li Jianjia wipe her lip.

Li Jianjia wiped her lip while unable to help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Hua didn't understand.

Li Jianjia said with a laugh:

"We're both really stupid, actually not knowing anything at all."

Xiao Hua felt very guilty:

"It's all my fault; I'll work hard to learn in the future."
