On the way back, it started snowing. In the beginning, only light and fluffy snowflakes fell, but soon enough it started to become heavy.
Tong Yan went to Xu Xinduoâs side, raised his hand and helped her put on a hat. After that, he continued to walk the dog.
Xu Xinduo glanced at Tong Yan and said, âI had dinner with grandma at the hospital. Youâ¦â
Tong Yan replied angrily, âDonât worry, I will not die of hunger.â
He was just unhappy.
However, Xu Xinduo really went upstairs and left Tong Yan standing alone in the snow with Coco.
Tong Yan looked at the door and remained silent for a while. He then led Coco back. After walking for a while, he simply crouched down and looked at Coco. The snow fell on Tong Yanâs hair, making it glittering white.
After looking at Coco for a while, he began to talk to him: âDo you think Dad is behaving badly? I just like her and want her to accompany me. Iâm unhappy because she is not accompanying me. Have I done anything wrong?â
(T/L: By âDadâ Tong Yan is referring to himself. Similarly, he is referring to Xu Xinduo as âMomâ.)
Coco sat upright and looked at Tong Yan with an innocent expression. He didnât seem to understand what Tong Yan said.
Even if he didnât understand, he still listened seriously.
Tong Yan continued, âDad wants to find you a mother. She is someone I really like but Dad doesnât dare to confess for fear of being beaten.â
âYour Mom doesnât seem to have any interest in love at all. She just doesnât understand the hint. Does she lack emotional awareness?â
âDad hasnât been like this before. Dad used to be happy every day. After he began to like her, Dad wasnât happy every day.â
âWell, whenever Dad doesnât see her, he would feel unhappy. If Dad was not able to make her like him, your Mom will become Dadâs sister and your aunt. Alas, itâs too hard for meâ¦â
âWhy is it so difficult to like a person?â
Coco finally responded: âBark!â
Tong Yan looked at Coco and quickly asked: âYou are encouraging dad, arenât you?â
Coco: âBark!â
Tong Yan patted Cocoâs head: âDad didnât raise you in vain. Your Dad will keep trying till the end!â
âBark! Bark!â
ââ¦â
âBark! Bark!â
âForget it, I donât want the dog.â Tong Yan threw away the pet lead, got up and went back.
Coco himself followed Tong Yan with a pet lead in his mouth. He seemed to be in a cheerful mood.

On Friday, the medical examinations of Jiahua International school were completely over. However, due to the heavy snow, the content of the setting-up exercises during the break was changed from radio calisthenics to running.
There were many students in the school so different classes were running on different tracks.
However, this led to unfairness because teachers told everyone that every class needed to run two laps. It didnât matter whether they were running on longer laps or shorter.
Xu Xinduo looked around and found that the international class was running short laps. However, ordinary class and rocket class were running longer laps.
The students of the rocket class complained endlessly, but nothing could be done.
After two laps of running, everyone gathered on the playground. A teacher stood on the podium and announced: âNext, the whole school will have a snowball fight.â
There was an immediate burst of cheers on the playground.
When Tong Yan heard the announcement, he subconsciously frowned. He immediately took Wei Lan and Su Wei to find Xu Xinduo. Xu Xinduo was afraid of the cold. She couldnât stand being hit by someone with a snowball.
He was obviously angry with Xu Xinduo yesterday. Today, he had to take the initiative to find her and protect her.
