Although her expression was not good, the concern in her eyes was real.
Jared, seeing how nervous she was, smiled and picked up the blanket and put it on himself. "I went shopping for you," he replied
"Shopping?" Amber paused. "What did you buy?"
She looked at the little bag he had just put down. "Is that it?"
"Yes." Jared nodded, picked up the bag, and handed it to her. "See if you like it. I went out and bought it. It was a long drive, and I had visited a lot of stores before finding it."
Amber took the bag. "What on earth is it that took you all these efforts to get it?"
"You said you liked snow." Jared looked at her, "It's cold to watch the snow outside, so I bought snow that doesn't melt, snow that you can enjoy even in summer."
"Snow..." Amber lowered her head and stared blankly at the bag in her hand.
Snow in here?
When Amber's mind wandered, Jared urged her, "Open it."
Amber nodded and opened the bag.
There was a box inside, and she picked it up.
The box wasn't very big, about the size of a palm, but it was tall, about ten centimeters, and a bit heavy.
Amber took a deep breath under Jared's encouraging eyes and slowly opened the box to reveal a crystal ball.
Amber's eyes widened and took the crystal ball out of the box, and then saw something swimming in the crystal ball; it was the snowflakes that Jared mentioned.
There were dozens of flakes inside, different sizes. And as the crystal ball was shaken, the snowflakes were fluttering inside the ball, it really looked like snow, very beautiful, and even prettier than the real snow because it looked like something out of a fairy tale.
No wonder Jared said, with this, she could always watch the snow regardless of the season.
Because in this crystal ball, the snowflakes would not melt.
Amber held the crystal ball. She didn't know why, but just felt the ball was really heavy, and complicated feelings were bubbling up in her chest.
She wrinkled the bridge of her red nose and held back the heat in her eyes as she looked at the man, "Braving all this snow to buy this for me, Jared, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, I'm very conscious of what I'm doing." Jared locked eyes with her and answered seriously.
Amber's heart was even more uncomfortable, blinking her eyes as if trying to blink something back into them, "Since you know what you're doing, you should be aware that your body hasn't recovered yet. Hanging out in this cold, you would get frostbite. What if you do get sick? What am I gonna do with you then, what are those who care about you gonna do?"
"No, I've got it all figured out. Don't worry," Jared said with soft eyes and a light smile.
Amber's mouth twitched.
Come on, this guy hadn't even thought about things like frostbite.
With her eyes closed, Amber pressed down her anger for a moment, and then asked, "Jared, is it really worth it?"
"It's worth it," Jared said without hesitation, nodding. "I'd do anything for you."
Amber could no longer contain herself, her eyes watering, her voice choking as she squeezed her crystal ball in her hand. "Fool, you're a Fool!"
"As long as you're happy, I could be a fool." Jared threw away his blanket, pulled a tissue from the coffee table, and stood up to wipe her tears. "Are you so easily moved to tears by me?"
