Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

When I left Li Dazhuang's house, the sky was already turning west.

The afternoon sun lazily shone on the snow, not very warm, but golden and quite beautiful.

When people are full and satisfied, they tend to become lazy.

Liu Yifei touched her slightly protruding belly as she walked on the crunching snow, feeling as if she were about to float away.

This pork stew was so delicious and satisfying.

It not only satisfied her appetite, but also allowed her to experience a warm and genuine human touch that she had never felt before.

She secretly took out her phone to check the comments in the live stream.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The entire screen was filled with "hahaha" and various emojis.

[Celestial beings, stop eating! If you keep eating, you'll turn into 'earthly immortals'!]

I declare that Liu Yifei is the female celebrity who enjoys eating the most, bar none!

[Hey, have you forgotten about that man named Fang Yu? He's the real culprit! He's the one who led our fairy-like sister astray!]

[I strongly suggest Fang Yu start a food vlog channel; I promise to send him rockets every day!]

Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed slightly as she read the comments, but she felt secretly delighted.

Being praised for eating well doesn't seem like a bad thing.

She continued scrolling down, and suddenly, a comment caught her attention.

[Three major urban legends of Northeast China: licking iron railings, wearing only thin pants in winter, and becoming sworn brothers with a bear. The fairy has already experienced wearing only thin pants in winter; how about taking on the challenge of licking iron railings? It's said that the iron railings in Northeast China are sweet in winter!]

Sweet?

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the comment.

Although she had never lived in Northeast China, she still had common sense.

Metals at extremely low temperatures will freeze instantly if touched by moist skin.

This is clearly a trap!

but……

Liu Yifei's gaze secretly drifted to Fang Yu, who was walking half a step ahead of her.

This guy has been making a fool of himself every time the show started.

From military overcoats to floral-patterned jackets, from riding tractors to Gatling guns blazing with blue flames... he's almost ruined her goddess image.

Although he gave himself special treatment, which is a plus, his merits and demerits cannot be offset!

An evil thought sprouted in her mind like a blade of grass.

Knowing it's a trap, will Fang Yu, this "native," lower his guard because he's used to it?

If only he could have his tongue stuck to an iron railing in front of a national audience...

Just thinking about that scene makes me feel relieved!

The more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.

She felt the "little devil" that had been suppressed within her for so long was awakening.

It's all Fang Yu's fault!

He led him astray!

Yes, that's it!

Having mentally prepared herself, Liu Yifei cleared her throat, feigning an innocent and curious look, and asked:

"Fang Yu, I just saw online that the iron railings in Northeast China taste sweet in winter. Is that true?"

Fang Yu, who was walking ahead, paused for a moment.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with innocence and curiosity, but hidden in their depths was a cunning flame that could not be suppressed.

Fang Yu almost burst out laughing.

Wow, this fairy-like lady has been with me for two days and she's already learned how to dig pits for people?

And it's using this old joke from twenty years ago.

Too young.

Since you want to play, I'll play with you properly.

Fang Yu knew exactly what was going on, but his face instantly put on a serious expression.

He even glanced around seriously and lowered his voice, saying, "Shh—keep your voice down, you can't talk about this."

"what?"

Liu Yifei was taken aback by his reaction.

That's not how the script went! Shouldn't he immediately jump out and laugh at himself for not even having this much common sense?

Seeing her bewildered expression, Fang Yu continued to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"Of course it's true."

His tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

"That's the wisdom passed down from the older generation in Northeast China."

"The elders here say that iron in winter gathers the essence of the cold air of heaven and earth. After being condensed throughout the winter, it will develop a kind of 'iron essence' on its surface, similar to frost, so it tastes sweet when you lick it."

"Iron... iron essence?"

Liu Yifei's mind was a little foggy.

This sounds too fantastical, doesn't it?

Why does it sound like a cultivation novel?

"Yes, it's iron essence." Fang Yu's expression was extremely sincere, his eyes filled with awe for the wonders of nature.

"However, this is a very particular thing; not just any iron railing will have it." He held up a finger and shook it.

"Oh? What's the significance of that?" Liu Yifei asked instinctively, completely led astray by him.

"First of all," Fang Yu held up his first finger, "it has to be an old iron railing that has been around for years and has weathered many storms. Newly painted ones won't do; they're toxic."

"Secondly," he held up his second finger, "it must be a shady side that never gets any sun. The sunny side won't do; the essence will be melted away by the sun, so licking it won't help."

"The most important point," Fang-the Master of Deception-Yu's tone became even more mysterious, "it has to be at night, after the moon has risen, when the yin energy is at its strongest, and the 'iron essence' that condenses there is the sweetest, and it's said to have health-strengthening effects!"

Fang Yu spoke with great detail and clarity, his logic was impeccable, and his conditions were stringent, making it sound like a true story.

The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded.

[Holy crap? Really? I'm from Harbin and I've never even heard of this!]

[Fang Yu, don't talk nonsense! If anyone actually believed that, the hospital's dental department's revenue would double tomorrow!]

[Haha, why do I feel like Fang Yu is talking nonsense with a straight face? He's setting a trap for the celestial being!]

[Quiet down, everyone! Watch the show! I bet a bag of spicy strips that even a fairy would believe it!]

[I believe it now! Look at the celestial being's expression; she's starting to question everything!]

Liu Yifei is indeed questioning the meaning of life.

Her rational mind was frantically calling out to her, reminding her that this was completely unscientific.

But Fang Yu's confident demeanor stirred up the little devil in her heart.

What if it's true?

After all, the world is a vast and wondrous place, and some folk remedies simply cannot be explained by science...

The main reason was that Fang Yu's expression was too sincere, so sincere that it made her begin to shake her scientific worldview, which she had built up over the past twenty years.

"That……"

Liu Yifei swallowed hard and asked the most crucial question.

"Have you ever licked it?"
