My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Little Douzi's eyes widened. Those eyes were already big, like two pools of clear spring water, and this widening made them look even more rounded.

The eyelashes curled slightly upwards, casting a small fan-shaped shadow on the eyelids, and the two snowmen, one big and one small, were clearly reflected in the pupils.

The air was filled with the unique crispness of snow, like a layer of filtered mint water, each breath carrying a slightly sweet coolness.

The sunlight was filtered into a uniform diffused light by the thick clouds, making all the shadows faint.

A row of icicles hung from the eaves in the distance, some long, some short, some thick, some thin, like a row of upside-down glass cones.

Only when the clouds occasionally part and sunlight shines through does it refract a dazzling light like shattered diamonds; otherwise, it hangs quietly, exuding a cold, white hue.

Occasionally, a drop of water would fall and make a small hole in the snow.

She let out a soft exclamation, her voice coming from inside the white plush scarf, muffled and soft.

She didn't even bother to change the snowball clip anymore. She put the little duck snowball clip in her hand on the snow, stood up immediately, and ran to Lin Ye's side.

The snow boots left a trail of small paw prints on the snow, one after another, forming a crooked line.

Behind me were more than twenty sturdy snow animals. The kitten had a round head and two pointed ears that were triangles formed by snowballs, with the tips of the ears slightly curled inward.

The little rabbit had one ear standing upright and the other half drooping. The upright ear was slightly turned outward, as if it had been blown askew by the wind, while the half-drooping ear lay limply on the side of its head.

The little duck is chubby and plump, its round body looks like a small snowball with half a snowball stacked on top of it.

The puppy sat crouching, its tail held high and its ears drooping on either side of its face.

The baby seal tilted its head back, its mouth rounded and blunt, its two pectoral flippers pressed against its bulging belly, as if it were sunbathing—even though there wasn't much sun today.

There were also two small snowmen, one large and one small, stacked together, looking exactly like the two large snowmen, only several times smaller.

They were arranged neatly in two rows, each little animal facing away from the little bag.

The light on the overcast day was even and soft, and the white reflection from the snow surface gilded the rounded outlines with a faint shimmer, as if a procession was lining up to bid her farewell.

The snowman looked even taller and more imposing up close, its body pressed very firmly by Lin Ye, its surface smooth and flat.

Just then, a crack appeared in the clouds, and a beam of pale golden sunlight pierced through the gap, landing squarely on the snowman.

The firm snow surface then shimmered with a layer of extremely fine snow crystals, but in the blink of an eye, the gap in the clouds closed again.

The luster vanished suddenly, and the snowman returned to its original pure white, as if that moment had been just an illusion.

Xiao Douzi took a closer look and compared the measurements. She stood on tiptoe, placed one hand on her head, and then moved it horizontally. Her fingertips, wearing pink waterproof fleece gloves, just barely reached the snowman's neck.

It was even a whole head taller than him! Little Pocket had to hold his head up high to see the snowman's bald head.

She reached out and patted the snowman's belly. The bulging belly felt solid and cold to the touch, and even through her gloves, she could feel the chill emanating from deep within the snow core.

Each tap produced a dull "thud," like hitting a white wall. The sound didn't travel far in the overcast air before dissipating.

The top of the snowman's body is a slightly concave arc, and above that is a round head. The seam between the head and the body is reinforced with a ring of loose snow, making it look like a seamless whole.

The little snowman next to me wasn't that tall, only about chest height, and its head was much smaller, but it was just as round.

The little boy circled the two snowmen twice, marveling at their appearance.

Her footsteps etched irregular circles on the snow, and the rabbit ears at the end of her scarf drew arcs in the air as she turned, sometimes swinging to the left and sometimes to the right.

"Godfather is so amazing!" Her voice came from under the scarf, with a slight nasal tone.

"The snowman is so big and beautiful!"

Lin Ye smiled, the curve of his lips mostly hidden by his light gray cashmere scarf, revealing only the fine smile lines at the corners of his eyes.

The brim of the black beanie was pulled down so low it almost covered his eyebrows, and a little snow had settled on the top of the hat, not yet melted.

A few strands of black hair peeked out from under the brim of his hat, slightly dampened by his breath, and stuck to his forehead.

He had come over without anyone noticing, carrying two small bags filled with little animals in each hand.

Because they were wearing leather gloves, which blocked the transfer of body heat, the animals were not molten at all when they were brought over. Their bodies were still dry, and their whiteness was dazzling against the black leather.

As he bent down to place the animals next to the snowmen of all sizes, his black snow boots left deep footprints in the snow, making a "crunch" sound as the snow was compacted.

As he spoke, his voice tinged with laughter, "Little Douzi's little animal snowmen are also exceptionally well made! They're very sturdy and won't fall apart at all!"

Little Douzi chuckled and quickly ran over to transport the small animals over.

Her pink gloves were covered in snowflakes, but that didn't stop her from handling each small animal with utmost care.

First, gently shovel the animal from the snow, then hold it in both hands and slowly walk to the snowman, then gently put it down.

She even held her breath when she put it down, her lips pressed tightly together, as if afraid that her breath would melt the little animal.

Little Douzi shuttled back and forth between the snowmen and the animal procession, her rabbit ears bouncing up and down as she ran.

Before long, all the small animals had been transported.

Little Douzi stood at a distance and looked around. Beside the big snowman was a small snowman, and behind the two snowmen radiated out a cluster of different kinds of small animal snowmen.

The little ducklings were next to the kittens, the little rabbits were next to the puppies, the little seals were placed on the outermost side, and the two little snowmen were in the middle, gazing at the big snowman and the little snowmen from afar...

The whole scene resembles a miniature version of an ice and snow kingdom, with the king and princess as a large snowman and a small snowman, and their subjects behind them.

The snowfield was a white carpet, and the overcast sky was a gray dome, quiet yet with a naive charm.

As she looked at it, she felt that something was missing.

The sun suddenly peeked out again, its rays filtering through gaps in the clouds and illuminating the entire snow-covered landscape.

The shadows of the snowmen and animals overlapped, casting long, bluish-gray silhouettes on the snow.

The little boy tilted his head, looking left and right, his brows furrowed slightly, and a small "川" character squeezed out between his eyebrows.

Her lips pursed, and her index finger unconsciously pinched the edge of the scarf, causing the white fluff to sink in and bounce back.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if two small lanterns had been lit in the darkness.

"I know!"

She remembered!
