Chapter 337


    There was a t-shaped stage on the wide field. It was probably constructed for a school event.


    However, since it was almost midnight, there were no students on the field, only a thickyer of snow


    gently covering the entire world.


    As Cayden advanced forward while holding Avery''s hand, they respectively left a trail of deep and


    shallow footprints behind.


    He lifted her up to the stage before getting on it himself.


    Then he pulled out the fireworks he bought from the store, squatted down, and lit them with his match.


    Standing next to Cayden, Avery watched the fuse be lit and heard it hissing as it burned.


    Then, a beautiful firework was seen exploding in the sky. It formed the shape of a flower that expanded


    over time.


    In the end, it transformed into a marvelous, towering tree of colorful fire.


    The dark sky was instantly illuminated with arge spectrum of colors.


    Then, as the tree of colorful fire exploded in midair, the specks of fire fell back to the earth like a vibrant


    meteor shower.


    Avery was a little blinded by the bright mes, which prompted Cayden to pull her back a few steps.


    The powerful me blossomed in the snowy night, illuminating them and half the dark sky.


    It brought joy to Avery.


    She didn''t expect such cheap fireworks would create stunning scenery.


    “Thank you. I''ll remember this scene forever. From here on out, this will be a memory shared between


    us.” Upon rubbing her cold nose, she stood on her toes and gently ced her hands around Cayden''s


    neck.


    Like a well-mannered kitty, Avery rubbed her face against his neck.


    Despite the cold, she felt warm because of hispany. Even the snow didn''t feel icy to her.


    “I''m d that you''re happy. Even if you want the stars in the sky one day, I''ll find a way to pluck them


    down for you.” He kissed her lips as affectionately as he always was.


    Standing in the snow, he looked handsome, graceful, and as though the most brilliant light in the world


    was gathered in his eyes.


    When Cayden smiled fondly at Avery, it was as if the snowkes came to life as they kept dancing on


    his eyebrows and lips.


    At that moment, he appeared as though he was an immortal shrouded in a frigid aura. A sense of


    warmth and elegance smashed straight into her chest, making her feel utterly captivated by him.


    Just as they were gazing at each other with infatuation, an angry roar was suddenly heard from the


    direction of the security booth.


    The security guard in a military green outfit approached them with a torchlight.


    Then, he admonished sternly, “Hey, what are you two doing here in the middle of the night? Don''t you


    know it''s forbidden to y with fireworks on school grounds? What ss are you two from?”


    “Crap, we''re discovered!” Avery panicked a little.


    “No need to be afraid. Hold my hand, and we''ll escape together!” Cayden took her soft hand and


    sprinted across the field with her as the fireworks still lingered in the air.


    Soon, they reached the streets outside.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Two of them panted as they scampered away like children, leaving the security guard in the dust.


    When they arrived at the wide road a hundred meters away from the high school, they hid behind a


    large, tall tree.


    Staring at Avery tenderly, Cayden assured, “No need to be afraid. We''ll just pretend to be a couple on a


    nightly jog. The guard can''t do anything to us.”


    “That was... tiring. But it was so fun!” That run made her sweat a lot.


    Her chest was still in pain from the intense dash, but she thought it was worth it.


    Cayden gripped Avery''s hand with his warm, mighty palm, affirming her that he would never leave her


    or let her go.


    Turning her head back, she could still see the fireworks they had set off earlier.


    The brilliant tree of fire was still glowing.


    Embers of the vanishing firework descended from the air like meteors, blinking in the night sky as they


    did. It was so beautiful that one could hardly move their eyes away from the scenery.


    When the security guard realized the couple was gone, he grumbled with annoyance as he returned to


    his post.


    “It''s over now.” Cayden pulled Avery out of the shade of the tree.


    As they watched the fireworks gradually disappear into the darkness, they held hands and strolled in


    the snow.


    At a wall next to the road stood a tall but thin snow-covered figure.


    Avery initially thought it was just some guy standing against the wall.


    When she got closer, however, she realized it was a couple hugging each other.


    They appeared to be very young, so it was likely they were students of the nearby university. The


    couple seemed fairly awkward. The girl was dainty and crying unceasingly in the boy''s embrace.


    asionally, she would swing her fists and hit him.


    On the other hand, the boy was patiently and gently coaxing her. As he allowed her to keep hitting him,


    he continued to apologize to her.


    A romantic rtionship that took ce during one''s youth was the most genuine and pure. Even the


    squabbles of a couple at that age seemed so pleasant.


    Avery and Cayden smiled meaningfully as they tightened their grips.


    They were no longer young, but they had experienced the many twists and turns of life. That was why


    they understood they should be more trusting and less demanding in a rtionship. Only then would


    they be able to keep holding on to the miracle known as happiness.


    “I feel like I''ve be much younger ever since I met you, Avery,” Cayden uttered as he crossed his


    fingers with Avery''s.


    His forehead was touching hers as they kept each other heated with their body warmth.


    “That''s not right. You are young. The father of my two children is still a handsome man.” She chuckled


    and gently squeezed his hand. “I''m getting a little tired of walking now...”


    “I''ll piggyback you.” Without hesitation, Cayden kneeled and gestured for her to lie on his back.


    Avery climbed onto his back and looked around at the snowy scenery.


    The night was quiet. Aside from the soft glow that the snow was reflecting and the streemp''s rays,


    there were no other sources of light.


    When the falling snow was paired with the light in the night, a graceful yet blurry beauty was formed.


    The couple could still see each other clearly, but they couldn''t make out the objects and people in the


    distance in the wintryndscape. Avery liked the atmosphere because it allowed them to enjoy the


    serenity shared between them.


    “It would be great if we could stay like this forever...” Laying on Cayden''s back, she seemed lost.


    When she thought about what ire had told her earlier, she hesitated to let him know.


    When she got closer, however, she realized it was a couple hugging each other.


    Whan sha got closar, howavar, sha raalizad it was a cou hugging aach othar.


    Thay appaarad to ba vary young, so it was likaly thay wara studants of tha naarby univarsity. Tha
