As usual, Eula arrived at the ice lake to unwind with a refreshing dip. However, just as she undressed and stepped into the water, something felt off.

A toothy fish suddenly leaped out, aiming straight for Eula's face. With quick reflexes, she slapped the fish away effortlessly.

Moments later, a swarm of fish jumped up, sending shivers down Eula's spine. She hastily grabbed her clothes and ran away.

Lin Feng was heading home when he passed by the ice lake - a route he often took, hoping to relive the scene from his first day in this world, how thrilling!

Still lost in his thoughts, Lin Feng heard a sudden "thud" as Eula collided directly into him while running.

Both fell to the ground instantly, causing Eula's clothes to scatter around them. As Lin Feng glanced at the scattered garments, then looked up...

His brain seemed to flood with blood, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes widened, fixated on the breathtaking sight before him.

Suddenly, a voice echoed from afar, "Albedo, can we really catch fish with explosives? Captain Jean said using explosives would lead to confinement."

"Then...we just won't let her find out. But from now on, if you want to go ice fishing with explosives, come with me; the snow-capped mountains are more dangerous than Bimond." Albedo's voice grew closer.

"Yes!"

Eula frowned, quickly grabbing her clothes and pulling Lin Feng into a narrow cave nearby.

They found themselves squeezed face-to-face, with Eula still undressed. Due to the dim lighting, Lin Feng couldn't see much, but his imagination ran wild nonetheless.

Could it be that Eula can't wait any longer and wants to have me right here? As he caught the faint scent emanating from Eula, Lin Feng pondered whether he should passively accept or take the initiative.

"Don't move!" Eula whispered coldly, seemingly cautious not to be overheard.

"I..." Before Lin Feng could respond, Eula covered his mouth with her hand.

"Don't speak!" she softly murmured, shifting uncomfortably.

As she moved, Lin Feng felt Eula's smooth skin brush against him.

Klee and Albedo's voices drew nearer, as their destination was indeed this ice lake.

Eula's cheeks flushed crimson; she tried to put on her clothes, but the cramped space left her barely able to move her hands.

As Albedo and Klee's voices gradually faded away, Eula finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't move!" Eula commanded softly, her already cramped position becoming even more uncomfortable with Lin Feng's shifting.

"Cough, cough, I can't help it!" Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly.

Eula pondered for a moment and instantly realized what was happening, her cheeks flushing deeper red.

"Get out first!" Eula instructed calmly, retracting further back.

"Alright." Lin Feng swallowed nervously and nodded.

With great difficulty, Lin Feng pressed against Eula's body, his face sliding past her smooth skin, almost tempted to take a nibble.

Finally, Lin Feng managed to step outside. Bathed in the external light, he once again clearly admired Eula's breathtaking figure. However, her cheeks were slightly flushed, likely due to the tight squeeze earlier. Soon, Eula dressed herself and emerged from behind.

"Hmph, I'll remember this slight!" Eula glared at Lin Feng, letting out a cold snort.

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Lin Feng looked at Eula with a sense of injustice, truly not wanting to stare but unable to control his wandering eyes.

"Look, those Mondstadt folks today seemed to have swallowed flies, didn't they? Shouldn't I get rewarded for that?" Lin Feng grinned mischievously at Eula.

Suddenly, Eula stopped in her tracks, causing Lin Feng to bump right into her. His extra weight landed squarely on Eula's firm buttocks, eliciting a sensation...

Eula's face flushed slightly as she turned to look at Lin Feng. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in for a kiss.

Caught off guard by this sudden moment of bliss, just as Lin Feng was about to reciprocate with his tongue, Eula blushed deeply and pushed him away.

"Is that enough now?!" Eula, still flustered, managed to say with a hint of pride.

"No, not quite..." Lin Feng licked his lips, smiling at Eula.

"Get lost!" Eula coldly uttered, turning towards the snow-capped mountains.

"Eula, I truly love you!" Lin Feng chased after her, earnestly blocking her path.

In his hand appeared a rose, which he had exchanged from the System.

Eula froze, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Eula, from the moment I first laid eyes on you, I fell in love. Though you can be fierce at times, always wearing a cool expression, your heart is incredibly gentle."

"You didn't abandon me on the snowy mountain and saved me multiple times. Marry me; I promise to cherish you forever. Even if the entire Teyvat Continent turns against you, I will stand by your side!"

Lin Feng looked deeply into Eula's eyes, expressing his heartfelt sentiments with sincerity.

Eula felt momentarily overwhelmed. Her upbringing within the Lawrence Clan had taught her many etiquette rules, but handling matters of the heart was never addressed.

"Eula, please say yes," Lin Feng gazed affectionately at her, feeling an inexplicable urge to protect and be with this cool yet distant girl.

"I...I don't know!" Eula hesitated before swiftly moving past Lin Feng and running up towards the snow-covered mountain.

Taken aback, Lin Feng wondered what "I don't know" meant. Was it not heartfelt enough? Should he consider buying some perfect declaration lines from the System next time?

Feeling slightly disheartened would have been a lie, but Lin Feng wasn't one to give up easily. Since Eula hadn't outright rejected him, there was still hope.

Whistling casually, he headed back home.

Upon reaching her house, Eula immediately retreated to her room. Memories of her interactions with Lin Feng began flooding her mind.

From their initial encounter, Lin Feng had thoroughly observed her and then persistently pursued her. At that time, she genuinely despised him, especially when he clung to her legs.

However, as soon as he pulled out his phone, their relationship seemed to gradually ease. Then came playing games together.

On the surface, it all appeared quite ordinary. But when Lin Feng unhesitatingly saved her from danger and stood firmly by her side amidst false accusations, Eula's heart began to make room for him. Yet, faced with Lin Feng's confession, she felt utterly at a loss.

Eula's face flushed red, yet beneath her embarrassment, there arose a growing concern. Having spent considerable time with Lin Feng, she understood his character well: stubborn, tenacious, and vengeful.

Yet, towards herself, he displayed unwavering support without limits, an unquestioning loyalty!
