Chapter 818: Snow Woman
As expected, Cai stepped outside exactly fifteen minutes later and hurriedly moved backwards, ready to get to work. Lily, sent him a quick glance and then turned toward the pile of snow she had already started gathering. Why did it look so easy to make but would not take shape! Since it was a competition, she wanted the snowman to be perfect- round, classic and worthy of praise.
She crouched down, rolling the base of the snowman with her hands, feeling the cold seeping through her gloves, but she didn’t mind, only praying that she did not end up getting frost bite.
Unable to stop herself, she turned around to glance at him, only for him to glare at her as he warned," Don’t even think of cheating or peeping!" She shook her head. He’d been working in silence behind her, but the moment she turned around, he got all fierce, scooping up snow in exaggerated motions, clearly determined to outdo her.
Shrugging, she turned to face her snowman and every so often, she could hear him muttering to himself, and she smirked as she imagined his ridiculous creation coming to life. How was he going to make a snowwoman was beside her.
Finally, she looked down at the perfect large sphere she had created and called out,"How’s it going back there, snow-master?". With her base ready, she was now packing the middle section of her snowman on top of the base. She turned for a quick glance, but Cai was hunched over, hiding whatever he was working on. Suspicious. "Oh, you’re really focused, huh? Must be good!"
"Oh, it’s better than good," Cai replied with a mischievous grin that immediately made Lily suspicious. "You’re going to love it. And stop turning around will you?"
Shaking her head, she turned back to her snowman, carefully shaping the middle now, as she wondered what it was she could use to make his buttons. And then, after a long time, she started on the head, making sure it was perfectly round not that she knew the trick.. Once done, she quickly raced inside and brought out two little bowls for eyes and a spoon for his mouth
She stepped back, admiring her work. "Well, mine’s done!" she announced proudly. "A classic snowman if I do say so myself. What about you?"
Cai didn’t respond right away. His silence made her uneasy. Had his snow woman come out that well?
Lily turned around, dusting off her gloves, and walked toward him. "Cai? What are you—"
Her words caught in her throat as she saw what he’d been up to. Standing in the snow was a surprisingly detailed snow sculpture. It was a snow woman alright.... But why did that snow woman look like her?
And not just any version of her. Cai had sculpted a caricature of her with exaggerated curves, focusing heavily on her chest, which he was now meticulously shaping with his hands.. His face was the picture of concentration as he worked on carving out the breasts of the snow-woman, adding way too much detail for Lily’s liking.
Her jaw dropped. "Cai!" she sputtered, feeling a mix of shock and embarrassment creeping up her neck, her face turning red as she looked at what his hands were doing. "What the hell are you doing?!"
He looked up, his innocent expression failing to hide the amusement twinkling in his eyes as he raised his hands and stepped back. "What? I did say I was making a snow-woman, so I made one. I figured it’d be a tribute to you."
Lily’s face flushed, half from the cold, half from sheer mortification. "I didn’t think you meant that kind of snow-woman!" she exclaimed, stepping forward to inspect the sculpture more closely, her mouth hanging open. "Oh my God, Cai! You made it so... so..."
"Realistic?" he offered with a grin.
She glared at him, though she couldn’t fully suppress the embarrassing laughter bubbling up inside her. "You made me look like some ridiculous cartoon character... like Lola bunny!" she cried, covering her face with her hands. "What if someone sees this?"
"Relax, it’s just us out here in the middle of nowhere." Cai stood back to admire his handiwork, clearly proud of himself. "Besides, it’s art. You should feel flattered. Also, take note that I have given you normal ears and not bunny ears, but if you want them, I can add the little detail..."
"Flattered?! You gave me snow-boobs!" Lily couldn’t help but laugh now, despite her best efforts to stay serious. "You’re ridiculous!"
Cai shrugged, brushing the snow off his hands. "Maybe, but admit it—you’re impressed. It is impressive, after all..."
Lily shook her head, still laughing as tears streamed from her eyes. "Impressed? No. Horrified? Yes."
She took a step forward, grabbed a handful of snow and packed it tightly. "This is what you get for being a perv!"
Cai yelped, scrambling back as he laughed, quickly scooping up a handful of snow in retaliation. "Hey! I was just being creative! And don’t harm her, okay! I have to take a picture of her and you! You know, in case I cannot be a doctor anymore, I can become a snow sculptor."
Though, Lily wantet to absolutely refute standing next to the snow sculpture, she was ultimately convinced by Cai who insisted on getting a picture.
Cai studied the photo for a second, a smirk playing on his lips as he glanced at her. "You know, it really does look like you. Especially this part." He gestured vaguely toward the chest area of the snow-woman.
Lily, already blushing, threw him an exasperated look. "You’re impossible. And that is not me, okay. I don’t have those proportions," she said, shaking her head.
But then, before she could react, Cai took a step closer, his grin turning wicked and somewhat lethal. "You know," he started, lowering his voice just a notch, "if you think it is not, I could make a few... adjustments to the sculpture." His eyes twinkled with amusement. "Let me just measure the original"
Her eyes widened as Cai raised his arms and to walk towards her, intent on ’measuring’ her and with a squeal she raced inside, her heart hammering in her chest.
