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

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fang Yu laid out all the collected parts on the ground.

Then, he picked up the beer can and rummaged through the toolbox for a nail.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he began to quickly and accurately poke tiny holes in the lower side of the can.

Fang Yu's movements were fluid and graceful.

The I-beam in his hand was extremely steady; each time it fell, it left a small hole of uniform size and equal spacing on the aluminum can.

The precision and consistency of his movements left the viewers in the live stream completely stunned.

Wait a minute... isn't his drilling technique a little too professional?

"Indeed, look at his hands, they're as steady as if they're welded to the ground. He's definitely practiced!"

How many more skills does he possess that we don't know about?

Soon, he had punched a row of neat holes in the lower half of the can.

Next, he drilled a small hole in the center of the top and bottom of the can, just big enough for a bicycle spoke to pass through.

After doing all this, Fang Yu threaded the straight spoke through the can and secured it firmly at the top with a thin wire, ensuring that the spoke was in the absolute center.

Then, he took out the motor that he had taken from the four-wheel drive vehicle, used a small piece of copper wire to connect the motor shaft to the top of the spokes, and finally connected it to the battery box.

A simple yet fully functional rotating device was born in his hands.

At this point, some knowledgeable viewers in the live stream finally realized what was going on.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I know what he's up to! This...this is making a cotton candy machine!]

The moment this comment appeared, the entire live stream chat exploded.

[A cotton candy machine? Made from these junk items? Really?]

[It seems so! That perforated can is for making sugar threads, and the motor provides centrifugal force! Wow, there are geniuses out there!]

So he wasn't being stingy or having low emotional intelligence this morning; he was preparing a surprise for us! Waaah, I misunderstood him, I apologize!

This is the ultimate romance from an engineering student! Instead of giving you roses, he builds a machine that produces romance for you! This is a million times more thoughtful than any gift you buy!

The sentiment in the comments section instantly shifted 180 degrees.

The viewers who were just criticizing Fang Yu as a "straight man" are now lining up to apologize.

Meanwhile, Liu Yifei calmed down somewhat after being comforted by Zhao Guifang.

She sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), hugging a pillow, watching the Spring Festival Gala skit being replayed on TV absentmindedly.

But her eyes kept glancing out the window.

She didn't even know what she was expecting.

Just then, Fang Yu came out of the warehouse.

He was holding a strange device in his hands, and his face was covered in dust, making him look like a little kitten, which was rather comical.

But the smile on his face was exceptionally bright.

Fang Yu returned to the courtyard and called out to Liu Yifei inside the house:

"Come out for a moment."

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, but still obediently put on her coat and walked out of the house.

When she saw the "handicraft" in Fang Yu's hand, made of a soda can, a motor, and wire, she was completely stunned.

She asked curiously:

"What...what is this?"

Valentine's Day gift.

Fang Yu spoke concisely, a hint of smugness on his face.

"Gift?"

Liu Yifei was even more confused.

This thing... doesn't look like a gift at all.

Fang Yu didn't explain further, but instead took out a solid alcohol block from his pocket, placed it on the brick, and lit it.

Then, he placed the makeshift cotton candy machine over the fire, took out a small bag of white sugar from another pocket, and carefully poured it into the opening of the can.

After doing all this, he looked up at Liu Yifei, who looked completely bewildered, and smiled.

"Now, it's time to witness a miracle."

The flame of the alcohol lamp heated the bottom of the can, and soon a sweet aroma of caramel wafted out of the can.

Fang Yu seized the opportunity and pressed the switch on the battery box.

"Buzz—"

The motor started instantly, causing the can to spin at high speed.

The next second, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Countless white sugar strands, thinner than a strand of hair, gushed out from the small holes on the side of the can, like a miniature blizzard, dancing in the air.

Liu Yifei's eyes widened instantly.

She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would scream out loud.

This...this is...a marshmallow?

He used those scrap metal pieces to make a cotton candy machine for himself.

Fang Yu pulled out another bamboo skewer from somewhere, dipped it into the flying sugar threads, and gently twirled it.

The delicate sugar strands entwined around the bamboo skewer, quickly gathering into a fluffy, snow-white cloud.

Fang Yu handed the finished cotton candy to Liu Yifei.

Happy Valentine's Day!

His voice wasn't loud, and it had a slightly cynical tone.

But when Liu Yifei heard this, her heart warmed, and a feeling of warmth instantly spread throughout her body.

She looked at the cotton candy in front of her, then looked up at Fang Yu's face, which was covered in dust but had a bright smile. Her nose tingled, and tears almost fell.

It turns out he knows everything.

It wasn't that he didn't care; he was just clumsily but sincerely preparing a surprise in his own way.

This gift is more precious than any designer handbag or any expensive jewelry.

Because this contains a person's intention.

Fang Yu urged:

"What are you waiting for? Eat up, or it'll freeze in a minute."

Liu Yifei sniffed, took the cotton candy, and carefully took a small bite.

It melts in your mouth and is sweet but not cloying.

That sweetness seemed to travel along the tip of my tongue and all the way to my heart.

Fang Yu asked expectantly:

"How is it? The taste is alright, isn't it?"

"……Um."

Liu Yifei nodded heavily, her eyes red-rimmed.

"This is... the best cotton candy I've ever eaten."

The viewers in the live stream were completely blown away by this idol drama-like plot.

[Waaaaah! I'm crying! I'm so hungry I'm crying! I'm so envious I'm crying!]

[Fang Yu! You're such a good man! Was all that buildup just for this moment? You're the epitome of romance!]

I take back everything I said to him this morning! Fang Yu, you're my god!
