Waking up in the early morning to watch the first snow, Xiao Yun excitedly walk down from her bed towards her door. Before she leaves, Xiao Yun puts on another layer of clothes on top of her nightgown and walk down the stairs.
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu look up toward the stair as they heard the sound of excited footsteps. After she step down at the last staircase, Xiao Yun greets her parents with a bright smile "Morning mom, dad!!"
Mrs. Yu laughs and walks toward her precious daughter hugging her while tidying Xiao Yun's bed hair.
Following Xiao Yun, Xing Fu walks down from the second floor while rubbing his sleepy eyes. Xing Fu, "What- Xiao Yun, you woke up already? It's still early you know?"
Xiao Yun looks toward him and smiled teasingly, "You too, where are you going? Did you already made a promise with your girlfriend to a date?"
Xing Fu snorts with an expression between laugh or frown, "Girlfriend? When do I even have time for that? Today I promise to go with dad to V Corporation."
"Ehh?!" Xiao Yun lifts her brow and looks toward her parents in confusion, "Wait, dad, you're going with brother? What about you mom? It's Christmas Eve you know...? Shouldn't we celebrate it at home together?"
Mrs. Yu laughs, "I would go to your grandmother's house, later after your dad and brother had finished their job, they would follow to grandma's house."
Xiao Yun nodded, "Oh...Then we would go to grandma's house and celebrate it there?"
Mrs. Yu shook her had and points her fingers toward Mr. Yu and Xing Fu before to herself saying, "Yes, it's we but without you."
Xiao Yun tilts her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Suddenly a maid came from the main door in a hurry, she organizes her breath before reporting to madam Yu, "Madam, the young master had arrived."
Xiao Yun turns her face towards the main door before she turns her face again to her mom, "Young master? Mom...Did you call him? What did you say?!"
Mrs. Yu replied, "Mn, is it wrong? Isn't it normal for a couple to go on a date on Christmas Eve? I just told him that 'Xiao Yun asked you to a date.'"
Xiao Yun couldn't believe what her mother's words and slap her face in surprise, "Mom-? You...are joking, right?"
Mrs. Yu squints her eyes, "I know that you had been hesitating while trying to ask A-Lei to a date every day- So, I gave you a hand- and even if I don't call him...Sooner or later you would also be going to call him right?
Xiao Yun looks around not knowing what to do. Xiao Yun quickly ran toward the mirror in the living room and look toward her untidy reflection on the mirror 'There's no way I can let him see me like this!!'
Just before Xiao Yun could move a step, Madam Yu grins before ordering to the maid, "Tell A-Lei to come in."
"Mom!!" Xiao Yun widened her eyes and glance toward her mother who was having much fun before running toward her room in a hurry while stumbling.
Mr. Yu and Xing Fu laugh along while watching Xiao Yun's clumsy escape.
Walking inside the house as always, Hyun follows his master with a bright expression. Unlike Li Lei's usual indifferent and cold expression, Hyun could see the brightness from Li Lei's eyes.
In fact, after madam's Yu call about Xiao Yun asking Li Lei to go on a date two days ago, Li Lei had been very looking forward to the date. So much that for the last two days the meeting on his corporation ended faster than normal.
Madam and Mister Yu happily greet Li Lei and welcome him inside the house. As Li Lei gave some presents and was about to bow and greet them, Madam and Mister Yu stopped him.
Mrs. Yu, "Aiya! A-Lei you don't need to do that!"
Mr. Yu agreed with a nod, "Yes, yes no need to be too stiff and polite after all you're soon going to be my son too!"
Mrs. Yu shrugged her shoulder, "Yes, after 2 more years, you are going to be our family too, so don't be too polite."
Li Lei shook his head softly, "I should do this even more so, after all, Madam Yu and Mister Yu are Xiao Yun's precious family- I should respect you two as much as I respect Xiao Yun. And not only that I have owed you two a lot since I was young and I can't thank you enough for that."
Madam Yu and Mister Yu's eyes glazes with tears, hearing Li Lei that had grown out from his usual short sentences and expressionless face started showing warmth, they proudly pet Li Lei's shoulder.
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Yun walks down from the stairs gracefully. After combing her hair, freshen herself with a quick shower, and change her untidy pajama into a white dress with black tights, thick coat, and brown boots.
As bright as ever, Xiao Yun was about to greet Li Lei with her usual greetings, but suddenly her legs halt on its own. She closes her mouth with her hand and walks softly.
Xiao Yun glances up toward Li Lei shyly. Unlike Li Lei's usual clothing style which consists black, dark brown, or dark blue suits today Li Lei is in his casual clothing!!
Not only that, for some reason, Li Lei's expression look warmer than usual!
Xiao Yun knew that every time she looks at Li Lei's face, her heart would beat loudly...But she never expected just by looking at Li Lei in different clothing would give even more impact!
As if Winter had turned into Spring, Xiao Yun's face turns bright red.
Li Lei gave a smile, "The dress, it looks very good on you."
Somehow, Xiao Yun's usual bright tone turned timid, "T-Thank you...You two it's unusual to see you in casual clothing."
Li Lei, "This is the one that you bought for me, what do you think?"
Xiao Yun covers her face and whispers shyly, "-ood"
Li Lei couldn't catch what she said and asked, "Mn? What did you say?"
Xiao Yun took a deep breath before she continues, "It look very good! No...it's the best!"
Warm laugh seep out from Li Lei's berry-like lips. "Thank you."
Watching from the corner of the room, madam and mister Yu along with Xing Fu smile in unison seeing their small yet warm affection toward each other.
