Time passed again, and the capital city saw its first heavy snowfall of the year.
Despite the falling snowflakes outside, the little dumpling sleeping soundly on the bed was completely unfazed.
"Mmmph~"
A small bulge in the middle of the bed stirred, and then a pair of small hands emerged from the covers, stretching lazily.
"Nuan Nuan, are you awake? It's snowing outside!" wap.kanshu伍.net
Ye Jinghuai sat by the small bed, calling out gently, and instinctively reached out to pat the quilt lightly.
"Mmmh~ Dada~" The sleepy, milky voice was soft and sweet, like candy about to melt.
"Does Nuan Nuan want to get up? It's snowing outside, it's so beautiful! Does Nuan Nuan want to come out and see?"
Ye Jinghuai pulled back the quilt that was covering Nuan Nuan's face, leaned down, and nudged his nose against Nuan Nuan's neck and cheek.
"Hahahaha~ Dada is naughty!" Nuan Nuan was tickled awake.
"Nuan Nuan wants kisses~" Nuan Nuan hugged Ye Jinghuai's neck and acted spoiled.
"Okay, kisses for Dada's little treasure."
Ye Jinghuai kissed Nuan Nuan's warm little cheek while digging the little dumpling out of the covers.
He casually put a thick little dinosaur pajama on Nuan Nuan and then took the little dumpling to wash up.
"Dada~ I'm a little beast! Roar~"
The little milky dumpling, after washing up, opened her mouth, revealing a row of small white teeth. She put her hands like claws on either side of her face, shook her tail, and made a pouncing motion like a fierce beast.
"Does the little beast want to go down for breakfast?" Ye Jinghuai walked over, smiling as he pinched the dinosaur head on her forehead.
"Ah oh~ The little beast has been caught!"
Nuan Nuan opened her big round eyes, hugged her own chubby tail behind her, and looked innocently at Ye Jinghuai.
"Does the little beast want to see the snow?" Ye Jinghuai opened the curtains and brought Nuan Nuan to the window.
Looking out, everything was a vast expanse of white. The snow on the roads in the villa area had already been cleared, leaving the exposed ground damp.
The roofs in the distance, the treetops nearby, and the lawn outside were all covered in a layer of white snow. Nuan Nuan immediately thought of the cotton candy she had seen at the amusement park, fluffy and soft.
"So beautiful~"
Nuan Nuan was extremely excited, cheering and jumping on Ye Jinghuai's arm.
"Dada~ Nuan Nuan wants to play, let's build a snowman together!"
"Okay, let's eat breakfast first. After breakfast, Daddy will play with Nuan Nuan, okay?"
"Okay~"
At the dining table, Nuan Nuan eagerly held a bottle of milk and drank it down, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the door.
Ye Jinghuai was helpless, and only after chasing Nuan Nuan to eat an egg did he allow her to go out and play. He even specifically changed Nuan Nuan into a ski suit and waterproof snow boots. From head to toe, he wrapped Nuan Nuan up tightly.
Nuan Nuan stepped into the snow with one foot, then the other, making crunching sounds. The more she walked, the more energetic she became, running with a smile.
"Roar roar~" (Little one, I'm coming to chase you!)
Qiu Qiu, wagging its tongue, followed behind, quickly overtaking Nuan Nuan. After a short while, it foolishly started rolling around in the snow, thoroughly enjoying the weather.
Qiu Qiu was now over seven months old, nearing adult size, and Nuan Nuan could no longer reach its head. One didn't know whether to blame Qiu Qiu for growing so fast or Nuan Nuan for not growing much herself.
"Roar roar~" (Little one, hurry up! Rolling here is so soft.) Qiu Qiu had completely let loose, sticking out its tongue and frolicking in the snow.
"Dada~ Let's play house!" Nuan Nuan excitedly ran over and grabbed Ye Jinghuai.
"Okay, how does Nuan Nuan want to play?"
Nuan Nuan squatted down and began to fiddle with the snow on the ground. Pouting her backside, she seriously piled up a "table," which was really just a thicker pile of snow.
Then she forcibly pulled Ye Jinghuai to sit down.
"Dada is visiting Nuan Nuan's house for the first time, please have a steamed bun!"
Nuan Nuan grabbed a clump of snow from the ground, pressed it down repeatedly with her hands, and handed it to Ye Jinghuai.
"It's cold, eat something to warm up! Please excuse the poor hospitality!"
"Thank you, Nuan Nuan." Ye Jinghuai helplessly took the small snow clump from Nuan Nuan's hand.
"You're welcome, Nuan Nuan is going to cook, what does Dada want to eat?" Nuan Nuan put her hands on her hips and looked at Ye Jinghuai earnestly.
"Well, the steamed bun is fine." Ye Jinghuai held up the snow chunk in his hand.
"Then Nuan Nuan will make you a pancake!"
"...Okay"
A few minutes later, Nuan Nuan pushed over a snow clump several times larger. It was also evident that the person who made it had tried hard to flatten it.
"Dada~ Eat quickly!" Nuan Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai expectantly.
Ye Jinghuai reluctantly took a bite. It was cool and had a peculiar taste, but it wasn't unpleasant.
Wait, why was he actually eating it?
"Is it delicious?" Nuan Nuan tilted her head and asked.
"Delicious!"
"Really?" Nuan Nuan's eyes lit up, as if she had been waiting for this sentence.
With a "boom," she plunged headfirst into the soft snow, burying her face in it.
"Nuan Nuan!" Ye Jinghuai's soul was almost scared out of him. He quickly pulled the dumpling out.
"Hahahaha~"
Nuan Nuan kicked her legs in mid-air, with a mouth full of snow, a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Roar roar~" (Is it really delicious?) Qiu Qiu also lowered its head and took a mouthful.
"Roar~" (It's delicious!) Qiu Qiu then burrowed into the snow pile and couldn't get out.
"Nuan Nuan, spit it out quickly, you'll hurt your stomach."
Ye Jinghuai quickly turned Nuan Nuan face down and patted her back, trying to make her spit out the snow in her mouth.
"Ah oh~ It's all gone, Dada~" Nuan Nuan opened her mouth and turned back to face Ye Jinghuai.
"You can't do that next time. Snow isn't clean, you can't just eat it, understand?"
"Dada is lying! The snow is so white, how can it be dirty!" Nuan Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai indignantly.
"..."
How was he supposed to explain to Nuan Nuan that snow formation was a physical phenomenon, and it actually contained a lot of dust from the atmosphere?
"Crunch crunch~" Qiu Qiu next to them was still diligently working.
Ye Jinghuai looked at his daughter and dog with a headache.
"Dada?"
"Uh... Daddy isn't lying. Look, this snow has fallen on the ground, it's so unhygienic. And it hasn't been cooked, it's raw, eating it will make Nuan Nuan's stomach hurt. How about we go inside and cook the snow before eating it, okay?"
"Yes~ Nuan Nuan can't eat raw things. Then Dada, let's quickly take some back to cook!"
Saying that, Nuan Nuan didn't wait for Ye Jinghuai's reaction, she scooped up a handful of snow with her gloved hands and ran inside, shouting as she went.
"Grandma Wu, we're eating snow tonight! Dada said it's okay to eat if it's cooked!"
Ye Jinghuai let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at the silly Qiu Qiu, and reached out to drag it back inside.
"Roar roar roar~ Roar~ Roar~" (Let me go! Let me go! You shameless thing, let me go! Let me continue.)
Qiu Qiu bared its teeth at Ye Jinghuai, looking fierce, as if it were about to pounce and bite.
"Slap!"
Ye Jinghuai delivered a swift slap, and the dog finally sobered up, tucking its tail and rubbing against his legs.
"Roar oh~ Roar oh~ Roar roar oh~" (Master, Master, I was wrong) The fierce beast's voice instantly turned into a squeaky one.
"Get back by yourself!" Ye Jinghuai didn't give it a pleasant look.
"Roar~" (Alright!)
Qiu Qiu trotted back.
