1057  'COMEDY' SKIT

WALKING into the Flower Cave, people were greeted by a captivating display of artificial trees, flowers, and birds crafted from ice. The entrance set the tone for their exploration, offering a glimpse into the diverse themes awaiting them inside.The frozen elements adorned the cave's interior, creating an atmosphere that seamlessly blended the tranquility of nature with the beauty of ice artistry.

Luo Jin looked around. Although all the ice sculptures looked good and well made, he didn't really feel anything while looking at them. Maybe he just didn't have the heart for art appreciation.

Instead, what he noticed more was the fact that there were more people here compared to the other areas they had been. So, he walked closer to Su Yuqi to make sure that they wouldn't be separated.

He glanced at Su Yuqi. Unlike him, there was genuine interest in her eyes as she stared at the different ice sculptures. He was glad that she seemed to be enjoying herself.

But for him, it was much more interesting to stare at Su Yuqi than to look at these ice sculptures. She's much more beautiful in his eyes, after all.

"If you're only looking at me, it will defeat the purpose of coming here," Su Yuqi suddenly said in a teasing voice without taking her eyes off a flower ice sculpture.

Luo Jin felt his face heating up. He didn't expect that Su Yuqi had noticed him staring at her. But then again, it was probably only natural that she did since he was doing it quite intensely.

Under normal circumstance, he would have already stuttered to make an excuse. But he had been a 'victim' of the other's teasing since early morning. And he always ended up losing. So, he couldn't back down now.

He should be more shameless!

With a reddened face, he said, "On the contrary, I think it serves its purpose perfectly."

Su Yuqi stopped walking and finally glanced at him.

"Yes, it really did," she said, fully understanding what Luo Jin meant. "Should we make this trip even more fruitful?"

Luo Jin tilted his head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Su Yuqi smiled playfully and held out her hand. "Should we hold hands while looking around?"

Luo Jin looked at that dainty hand blankly for a second. His instinctive reaction was to raise his hand and hold the other's. But before he could, he felt a sudden push from behind.

Because it was something he didn't expect, he quickly lose balance and was about to fall straight down to Su Yuqi!

Su Yuqi also didn't expect such an accident to occur. Before she could even think, her body's first reaction was to open both arms and catch Luo Jin.

With Luo Jin unable to stop himself from falling, and with Su Yuqi catching him with open arms, the two ended up hugging each other.

Luo Jin's mind completely went blank. This posture was different when he was sitting behind Su Yuqi on the motorcycle. It was more similar to that accident earlier at the ski village.

Once again, he felt those two soft things pressing against him. And once again, his face heated up uncontrollably. The feeling was even more apparent because of how their bodies were literally hugging each other. Which obviously made his heart beat even faster. The beating of his heart was so loud that he was sure Su Yuqi could hear it.

He looked down. It just happened that Su Yuqi also looked up. Their gazes collided. He felt like something had just sparked when their eyes met. Surely, he's not the only one who felt that, right?

But before Luo Jin or Su Yuqi properly reacted, a familiar voice suddenly broke through this moment.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to— Ah Jin?"

"It seemed that Ah Jin's 'romancing' was working, considering how you two were 15:00

already hugging each other," Luo Yan added in a teasing tone, even wiggling his Knowing full well who that voice belonged to, Luo Jin seemed to have woken up from his 'dream'. His body automatically stood up straight and moved away from Su Yuqi.

He then turned to where the owner of the voice was. There, as he had already expected, stood Luo Yan. One of his brows was raised as he looked at them with mirth dancing in that pair of peach blossom eyes.

The instinct to just explain and shout 'it's not what you think!', but he hheld himself back. That would only make him appear like a child. Not to mention, it could seem like he was denying his relationship with Su Yuqi. No matter how non-existent it might be right now.

"Yan, what are you..." Before he could finish his question, he finally noticed the man standing beside his brother. "Ah, of course, you're with that guy."

"We're on a date," Luo Yan said, hugging Shen Ji Yun's arm. "I can't believe we're meeting here like this. But then again, this is a pretty famous date spot. If it's winter and you're in B City, it's just right to go here. Good job choosing this place, Ah Jin."

"Why do you think Ah Jin chose this place and not me?" Su Yuqi asked.

"Well, no offense meant, but I believe my brother has more romantic bones in him than Sister Yuqi," Luo Yan said with a proud tone.

Su Yuqi shrugged, as if she didn't mind that. "You do have a point."

"It seemed that Ah Jin's 'romancing' was working, considering how you two were already hugging each other," Luo Yan added in a teasing tone, even wiggling his eyebrows at them.

Luo Jin's whole face heated up when he heard that. Not because he's shy, but because he's embarrassed!

"Stop wiggling your brows like that! It was an accident!" Just as he said that, he remembered that the whole thing had happened because someone bumped him from behind. Thinking about how Luo Yan was just apologizing earlier, it was obvious that the one who caused that accident was the other! "An accident you caused!"

Luo Yan quickly hid behind Shen Ji Yun and acted scared. "Brother Ji Yun, Ah Jin is scary."

With a straight face, Shen Ji Yun played along and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Luo Jin suddenly felt his blood pressure rising. While Su Yuqi just laughed at this 'comedy' skit happening in front of her in real time.

Happy Christmas everyone! ^^
