Chapter 304: Chapter 304 It Was Dead to Begin With

Yun Shifei looked at him with an expression of disbelief, as if she were a child suddenly realizing fairy tales were nothing but lies—her joyful heart shattered in an instant.

Her expression seemed to say, "How can you be so cruel? Such a delicate and adorable gift, how can you just throw it away?"

Sure enough, the next moment, she spoke: "Wasn’t this gift something you made with care? How can you just discard it so casually?"

Cheng Lie pressed his lips together, suddenly unsure of how to respond. He wanted to say, even if it was something he made with care, once its purpose had been fulfilled, it was useless to him.

He acknowledged it—he was indeed cold-blooded. It’s just that, in front of her, he showed only his better side.

So, he said, "I didn’t realize you liked it so much, but this thing melts quickly once it’s disconnected from its power source."

"That’s not acceptable. You have to take good care of it for me. When I come back next year, I want to see it alive and well!" Yun Shifei demanded, her tone strong and domineering.

Alive?

Cheng Lie stared at the snowman with suspicion: "It’s inherently lifeless."

Yun Shifei: "..."

She couldn’t believe she hadn’t noticed before how rational and pragmatic Cheng Lie’s mind was. It was pure "engineering logic."

Even though it lacked life, this snowman had accompanied her for so long. To her, it felt alive.

Just like the stuffed doll on her bed—she knew full well it didn’t have a life, but when the weather turned cold, she still felt an urge to cover it with a blanket.

Why couldn’t he understand this?

Seeing Yun Shifei’s pitiful, helpless expression, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but laugh. His deep black eyes blossomed with layers of light.

He reached out and gently tousled her hair: "But if you say it’s alive, then it is."

Whatever his girlfriend said was always perfectly right.
