But what was the truth?
When Shen Yuan wasn't around, Li Zhi rarely brought up getting ice cream.
Only when Shen Yuan was present would Li Zhi mention ice cream.
If Shen Yuan refused, Li Zhi would get angry at him.
The kind of angry that was completely unnoticeable.
The soup in the copper pot continued to bubble and boil. The rising steam, carrying the teenagers' boisterous laughter and chatter, drifted up and misted the glass window.
Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi take small scoops of ice cream. The way her tongue inadvertently licked away the creamy foam from the corner of her lips made the winter chill fade into background noise.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan really wanted some ice cream.
After they had finished the first round of food and were waiting for the next batch to cook in the pot, Ah Jie suddenly clicked his tongue.
"Man, I'm telling you, time really flies."
Ah Jie's voice was particularly clear against the bubbling sound of the copper pot.
