Lin Jing crossed his arms behind his back and kept staring at Su Wan, it was making him mad. Seriously, making him mad - his eyes couldn't help but dart towards her every now and then, yet she was hardly looking at him. He never believed that he was a complete dunce but now he did, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of one single idea that might earn him Su Wan's forgiveness. He had to restrain himself from walking close to her and twirling the loose strand of her hai, Su Wan's hair was shiny like that and it enticed him. Many times he had done that without knowing that he was doing it, it was like a subconscious act on his part, but right now he couldn't do that and that was making him annoyed.

Why can that pretty boy laugh and smile like that with her but he can't even talk to her without her snapping at him?

Because the pretty boy didn't make her mad, retorted his mind and just like that all of his steam blew out of his body.

" Wan Wan -" he began but stopped because he didn't know what to say, he was never a good talker. And he never mollycoddled anyone in his family, the job of coddling fell on to Lin Yan while he was responsible for earning money. Lin Jing pursed his lips in frustration, there was so much he wanted to say and to do but he couldn't because he didn't know how to, he thought that he was smart and with his nature it was impossible to make Su Wan mad, that the two of them will leave a peaceful and happy life without any problems but - looks like he was just too naive. 

He wistfully looked at Su Wan's back, and as if she sensed it she looked back. Lin Jing guessed that maybe he was wearing a really intense expression because her eyes briefly widened but this time she didn't avert her gaze from him instead she gave him an expectant look, the one that was daring him to speak his mind and tell her what she wanted to listen to most.  Lin Jing's anxious heart calmed down a little at least she didn't despise him even though she was angry at him.

" Wan Wan, you-you would you like to come with me for a walk?" after he finished speaking, Lin Jing wanted to smack his mouth. Come with him for a walk? Where? The entire village was shrouded in snow and nobody dared to go outside for fear of catching a chill, even if he dared to brave the winds to hunt animals, he couldn't accept Su Wan to the same with him right? 

Just as expected Su Wan's eyes dimmed before she turned around after giving him a patronising look " Can't, I have to cook breakfast and take care of this meat, even if it's cold then it doesn't mean that it won't go bad. I think I will deal with it accordingly"

Then she walked away from him, seeing her go Lin Jing cursed furiously, his curse must have been quite loud because he saw her pause before continuing to walk. Leaving him behind to wonder how to get her to forgive him, he was a complete jerk he admits it but what should he do? He made a mistake but he has no way out to salvage the situation because he didn't know how to, was he supposed to talk with her? Then how was he supposed to talk with her and what was he supposed to say? He didn't know a single thing about making a woman happy.

Su Wan didn't stop walking when she heard Lin Jing curse, though her lips curled up because it was really good to see these brats getting frustrated after all she too wanted to curse at Lin Yi last night but couldn't because of this stupid soft-hearted husband of hers, a good thing to teach him how it feels to be stuffy in the heart.

She didn't bother with him and bought the meat to the kitchen where Lin Yan was already waiting for her. Looking at him standing there with a nervous expression, she snorted unhappily. She wanted to see what he was going to do, she turned her back to him and picked the cleaver to chop the bones. She wanted to stew some big bone would for herself and the children, of course, everyone else too will have a share to it but Su Wan wasn't willing to think about them right now. 

Stew pork bones for more than two hours-simply delish when cooked with radish.

However, before she could begin chopping the bones. Lin Yan poked something soft and fluffy on her cheek, startled, she turned around to look at him. Here she wasn't even talking with them and he was poking her cheek? Simply wishing to die! 

But when she opened her mouth to speak, something soft and sweet was pushed in her mouth, surprised she closed her mouth as sweetness spread. The taste was certainly similar to cotton candy but there was a filling of nuts inside it which made it taste even more authentic and delicious. 

" This.. Is this dragon beard candy?" Su Wan had eaten this fluffy confection when her grandmother was still alive, later on she tried to recreate this taste but she couldn't - it has been many years since she tasted this sweet. 

" En" said Lin Yan softly, for making this sweet he had woken up at four in the morning however he was dragged away by Lin Chen to bring those flowers from the mountain, he knew that Lin Chen's idea was completely nonsensical but he still went along with it because it was his first time coaxing a woman. Thus, he was willing to listen to every suggestion but when he saw that Lin Chen's idea failed he rushed back in the kitchen to make dragon candies, it was the only dessert that he knew how to make without Su Wan's help. 

When they were kids, Lin Yan used to make this candy to cheer his siblings up when they were upset or saddene.. The candy didn't take many ingredients just a mixture of sugar and nothing more and was incredibly simple to make, he knew that Su Wan likes eating sugary snacks thus he decided to make this candy for her now that she was in a bad mood.
