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

When Fang's mother, Zhao Guifang, returned home, she had already prepared dinner.

Because we had such a lavish lunch at Li Dazhuang's house, dinner was much simpler.

It was a steaming bowl of dumpling soup and a few refreshing pickled vegetables.

Although simple, it is the best comfort for a stomach that has been eating rich and fatty foods all day.

Liu Yifei drank a big bowl of hot dumpling soup and felt warm and comfortable from the inside out.

After dinner, Fang Daqiang and Zhao Guifang, as usual, watched a two-person comedy sketch on TV, cracking sunflower seeds and laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei sat on the warm edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

It was completely dark outside, and the village was quiet, with only the occasional bark of a dog.

"Ahem." Fang Yu cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "Are you full?"

"Mm," Liu Yifei nodded and replied softly.

"So...do you remember what I said before?"

"What did you say?" Liu Yifei looked up, a little confused.

"I'll show you something romantic," Fang Yu said, standing up with a mysterious smile on his face.

He turned and went into the inner room, and came out again a short while later.

He was carrying a red thermos in one hand, the kind of old-fashioned tin-shell thermos.

In his other hand, he was holding a large iron ladle used for scooping water.

Liu Yifei stared blankly at the two items in his hand.

Thermos flask... water ladle... romance?

How are these three words connected?

Her mind raced, trying to figure out the logical connection between them.

But clearly, Fang Yu's thought process was beyond her comprehension.

"What...what are you trying to do?" Liu Yifei looked at him warily. "You're not thinking of washing my feet, are you?"

Fang Yu was amused by her bizarre train of thought: "What are you thinking? You're dreaming."

"So what are you doing...?"

"You'll see when you come with me." Fang Yu beckoned to her with her finger, "Wear something warm, it's cold outside."

Despite her doubts, Liu Yifei obediently put on thick clothes, a hat, and gloves, and followed Fang Yu out of the house.

The viewers in the live stream were also completely confused, and various speculations emerged in the comments.

【What new trick is this? A thermos with a water ladle?】

I bet he's going to draw a heart in the snow with hot water! It's a bit rustic, but quite creative.

[Upstairs, have you forgotten this is -30 degrees Celsius in Northeast China? Painting a heart with hot water? It'll just look like an icy trench!]

Whatever it is, it's definitely not something serious. I've given up all hope for Fang Yu's character.

Liu Yifei's agent, Sister Hong, watched the live stream remotely, her heart pounding with anxiety.

She is now filled with fear of any "romance" or "fun" that Fang Yu might offer.

That kid is a real menace; he always manages to cause some kind of trouble for Liu Yifei.

She just hoped that this time everything would go smoothly and that nothing else would go wrong.

The two walked one after the other to an open snowfield outside the courtyard.

The weather is exceptionally good tonight; there's no wind.

The night sky was like a huge piece of deep blue velvet, studded with countless sparkling diamonds, each one clearly visible and seemingly within reach.

A bright moon hung in the sky, its cool light shining down and illuminating the entire snowfield as if it were daytime.

"Stand back."

Fang Yu helped Liu Yifei to a safe spot, then carried a thermos and a water ladle to the center of the open space.

He uncorked the thermos, and a plume of white steam immediately billowed out.

Fang Yu poured boiling water into the iron ladle, filling it to the brim.

Liu Yifei stood not far away, watching his every move with curiosity, completely unable to guess what he was planning to do.

Fang Yu, holding the ladle of boiling water, called out to Liu Yifei:

"Watch closely! Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!"

He paused, a smug smile on his face.

"This is a forbidden spell, exclusive to our Northeast region!"

After saying that, Fang Yu turned to the side, pulled his arm back, and then suddenly exerted force, splashing the full ladle of boiling water in his hand into the night sky behind him in a beautiful fan shape!

The moment the water was splashed.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

In the frigid air of minus thirty degrees Celsius, the boiling water did not touch the ground.

Instead, the moment it flew out, it exploded in mid-air into billions of tiny ice crystals!

These tiny ice crystals, under the cool moonlight and the dazzling starlight, refracted a diamond-like brilliance, forming a perfect, sparkling, and enormous ice halo!

At that moment, the scene looked as if someone had torn a rift in the Milky Way with their bare hands in the darkness.

It's unrealistically beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.

Liu Yifei was completely stunned.

She opened her mouth slightly, tilted her head back, and watched the dazzling arc of light composed of ice crystals slowly drift away in the night sky, her mind blank.

What... what is this?

Is this what he meant by... romance?

This isn't just romance, it's a miracle!

She felt as if she were in a fairy tale world, or rather, a magical world, and Fang Yu was the magician casting the spell.

The chat in the live stream was silent for several seconds at that moment.

Everyone was so stunned by the breathtaking scenery before them that they were speechless.

A few seconds later, the barrage of comments began to flood in.

Holy crap!!! Is this even real?!

What did I just see? What kind of special effect is this?!

[My God! It's so beautiful I cried! I've never seen such a beautiful scene in my life!]

[I take back what I just said! Fang Yu! You are a god! You are the Prometheus of Kaoshantun! You are the magician of the icy world!]

Fang Yu's agent, Sister Wang, was in the command center at the rear when she saw this scene and was so excited that she jumped up from her chair.

She covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She knew that Fang Yu had created another "god-level masterpiece".

This level of popularity and buzz is absolutely going to explode!

In the snow.

Seeing Liu Yifei's dumbfounded expression, Fang Yu walked over and nudged her with his elbow.

"How was it? I wasn't lying to you, was I? Isn't it romantic?"

"How...how did they do that?" Liu Yifei came to her senses, her voice still trembling slightly, as if she had just woken from a dream. "This is simply unbelievable!"

"The Mpemba effect," Fang Yu began his explanation, "simply put, it means that in extremely low temperatures, hot water freezes faster than cold water."

"In addition, the air is dry, and the water vapor instantly condenses in the air, which is what you see."

"This is a rare sight that can only be seen in places as cold as ours."

Liu Yifei nodded as if she understood, but her gaze fell on the thermos and water ladle in Fang Yu's hand, her eyes sparkling with eager anticipation.

"I...can I try?" she asked cautiously.

That expectant look in her eyes was like that of a little girl who had just seen her favorite toy.

Fang Yu knew he was in trouble the moment he saw her expression.

"You're kidding me." He refused without even thinking. "This is boiling water, scalding hot water at 100 degrees Celsius."

"What if I spill it and get burned?"

Although I know that in temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius, even if you are splashed with boiling water, it will quickly freeze into ice, and the burn will not be too severe.

But Fang Yu still didn't want to take the risk.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

Liu Yifei's tone was pleading, her eyes sparkling, completely unlike her usual aloof goddess demeanor.

She really wanted to experience that magical feeling for herself!
