Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 694 A Snowy Day Date Script!

The store is warm and cozy, decorated mainly in blue and white tones, with cute illustrations of various Ice-type Pokémon hanging on the walls.

The two found a seat by the window and sat down. Tianxi curiously leaned over the table, and Shaymi also peeked out.

The little hedgehog is interested in sweets.

"Welcome! Would you two like to try our signature Blizzard Parfait?"

The waiter enthusiastically handed over the menu: "We also have a special event for couples today. If you and your partner can finish a super-sized Blizzard Parfait within an hour, you can receive a limited-edition couple's prize for free!"

Xiao Guang excitedly pointed at the poster: "We're going to challenge that one!"

The waiter looked at the two of them and smiled, "Okay! But I must remind you, this parfait is very large, and many couples have failed to make it."

"The two of you need to sign a voluntary challenge form first, in order to avoid getting an upset stomach."

Xiaoyun took the pen, signed the document, and turned to look at Xiaoguang: "It's not too late to regret it now."

"I will never regret it!"

Xiao Guang also signed his name.

five minutes later......

When the Blizzard Parfait was served, both of them fell silent.

This is a glass cup that is fifty centimeters tall, with layers stacked inside:

The bottom layer is blueberries, followed by vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, matcha, Oreo, mango... a total of twelve layers!

The top is decorated with a complete chocolate Blizzard King sculpture, surrounded by four chocolate bars, and drizzled with tempting syrup.

Xiao Guang swallowed hard and whispered, "It seems... even bigger than in the picture."

Xiaoyun sighed, "This amount is enough for Snorlax to have as a snack."

Shaymi had already jumped onto the table, scratching at the rim of the glass with her little paws, her eyes fixed on the Oreo crumbs inside: "Leave me some of the black ones. In return, I can give you some moral support."

"Won't we get sick from eating so much ice?" Tianxi asked worriedly.

The waiter handed over two spoons and a timer with a smile:

"Gentlemen, shall we begin the challenge? By the way, our store record is 52 minutes, held by a trainer with a Snorlax."

"Snorlax...isn't this comparison a bit outrageous?"

Xiao Guang's mouth twitched.

But the die was cast. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously picked up their spoons.

An hour later...

Xiaoyun looked weak.

Shemi looked at him strangely: "Um, Xiaoyun, are you still alive?"

"I'm lucky to still be alive..."

Xiaoyun said weakly, "But I might need to rest a bit, Xiaoguang, help me up..."

Xiao Guang suppressed a laugh as she helped her up. She herself was actually a little weak, but seeing Xiao Yun's appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Let's go for a leisurely walk to help with digestion."

The two sat in the store for twenty minutes before they could barely regain their mobility.

When we paid the bill and left, the waiter thoughtfully brought us two cups of hot ginger tea:

"Warm up your stomach, and welcome back for another challenge!"

Xiaoyun held the ginger tea and whispered, "There won't be a next time, at least not this year..."

He has a condition where he gets nauseous whenever he sees ice cream.

Shemi followed at their feet, shaking her head with a look of disgust.

This must be what they call love making people stupid. Who in their right mind would go to such lengths for a prize?

Oh, I forgot, these two were never normal to begin with.

......

Following the main road, the two arrived at the ice sculpture workshop unique to Yingxue City.

This is an open workshop filled with various ice sculpting tools, and many tourists are trying their hand at sculpting.

"Wow, this looks fun!"

Xiao Guang's eyes lit up again, and his previous weakness vanished.

Xiaoyun noticed something interesting and squinted at her: "I knew you could still eat. You were just acting like I was, weren't you?"

Xiao Guang stuck out his tongue, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

However, when Xiaoyun looked at the crystal-clear ice sculptures in the workshop, she also became interested:

"It's worth a try, but my craftsmanship is just average."

"It's okay, it's all about participation!" Xiao Guang pulled him by the hand and walked inside.

The two paid the experience fee, put on the cold-proof gloves and aprons provided by the workshop, and each chose a block of ice about half their height.

The workshop provides basic tools: ice picks, ice skates, small hammers, and reference books.

"What do you want to carve?" Xiaoyun asked, flipping through the catalog.

Xiao Guang had already picked up the ice pick with great interest:

"It's Piplup! He'd be so cute inside the ice sculpture!"

As a starter Pokémon, Penguin receives a lot of preferential treatment.

"Then I'll carve a Rayquaza base; it should be very artistic."

Xiaoyun thought of the black-headed creature she had seen in the Valley of Creation and decided to take on a more difficult challenge.

Shemi peeked over Xiaoyun's shoulder and commented, "You have lofty ambitions, but with your skills, it's likely to be a disaster."

"I suggest you carve a Poké Ball; it's easy."

Xiaoyun: "...Hey little hedgehog, can't you have a little faith in me?"

"Tsk, you can't even accept the truth."

Shemi jumped down and squatted down to watch the show.

Diancie floated to Hikari's side: "Hikari, Hikari, do you need my help? I want to play too."

"Okay, let's go together!"

Xiao Guang handed Diancie a small ice pick.

.........

Xiao Guang is clearly very talented in the arts.

She first used an ice skate to gently trace the general outline of Bogarman on the ice, then switched to a small ice chisel to carefully remove the excess parts.

Soon, Bogarman's round body gradually appeared, followed by his signature penguin beak, small wings, and webbed feet.

Xiao Guang sculpted with extreme care, even scraping out Bogarman's usual smug expression.

This is the effect of bas-relief.

"Amazing……"

Diancie exclaimed in surprise, "It seems like it can't be inserted at all!"

Xiao Guang smiled sheepishly and continued to focus on his work, occasionally glancing up at Xiao Yun's progress before smiling to himself.

On the other hand, Xiaoyun's side—

Rayquaza is indeed very difficult, and should be avoided by beginners.

At first, things went smoothly; he used a large ice chisel to carve out the rough outline of a snake.

But problems soon arose: Rayquaza's body was too long, and the ice block was not tall enough, so it could only be sculpted into a crouching posture. However, the crouching posture required even more attention to proportion and spatial sense.

"It should be cut off a little more here..."

Xiaoyun muttered to herself, and then struck the chisel—

Click.

Rayquaza's tail tip broke off.

Xiaoyun silently watched the ice shards fall to the ground, picked them up quietly, and tried to stick them back together with a little water.

Hmm, it didn't stick.

Shaymi laughed without holding back: "It crashed? I told you the Poké Ball was more reliable."

Xiaoyun glared at it and continued carving.

This time he was much more careful, and then another ten minutes passed.

Xiaoyun stared into thought as she looked at the ice sculpture she had created, which could barely be identified as a long, thin creature.

Why does it look even uglier when you try to sculpt it properly? Or is Rayquaza actually like this?

Shemi circled the ice sculpture and gave a professional assessment: "It looks like a frozen earthworm, the kind that struggled in the ice for three days and three nights before finally giving up."

Xiaoyun gritted her teeth: "Can't you say something nice?"

"I tried my best."

"That's the most tactful way I can think of," Shami said sincerely.

It actually wanted to say "a lump," but considering that trainers care about their image, it decided against it.

At this point, Hikaru's Pogaman was nearing completion.

It has a round and cute body, a slightly tilted head, small wings close to its side, and even the patterns on its webbed feet are carved out.

Xiao Guang took two steps back, admiring his work with a satisfied smile on his face.

She turned her head to check on Xiaoyun's progress, and then...

Hmm, where did this frozen earthworm come from?

I spent three seconds confirming that this was probably a Rayquaza-like creature, and another five seconds thinking about how to comment without hurting my boyfriend's pride.

Finally, Xiao Guang managed to utter a sentence:

"A very nice abstract art style, with a kind of wild and untamed beauty!"

This was the most tactful thing she could think of.

Xiaoyun said expressionlessly, "You don't need to force yourself. Xie Mi has already given me his honest evaluation."

Xiao Guang blinked, deciding to be honest: "Then I'll say it, it's basically a lump of...."

"Thank you! But thank you, no need!"

Xiaoyun felt that he still couldn't accept the truth, so he chose to live in a world of well-intentioned lies.

"You two work together very well!"

The staff member laughed and said, "The girls are responsible for carving the exquisite parts, while the boys are responsible for the overall shape and... uh, the beauty of imperfection! Many couples work together like this!"

"......"

Xiaoyun silently looked at the staff.

You're so damn... never mind, I won't say anything more. At least that's much more tactful than Shemi's approach.

Afterwards, the workshop staff came over to take photos of the two people's work, and gave Xiaoguang a Best Creativity Award and Xiaoyun a Consolation Prize.

Xiao Guang looked at the photo of the two of them in front of the ice sculpture.

In the photo, Xiaoyun is reluctantly fixing Rayquaza's head (although it looks weirder and weirder), while she stands next to him holding an ice block and looking at him tenderly.

"I will keep this photo safe."

Xiao Guang carefully placed the photo into the inside pocket of his backpack, then suggested:

"Shall we go to the hot springs next?"

"Miss Joey said that the hot springs in Yingxue City are very famous. They are natural geothermal hot springs, which are very good for your health! And your skin will become better after soaking in the hot springs!"

Xiaoyun glanced at the time; it was a little past five in the afternoon, the perfect time for a hot spring bath.

"Okay."

He nodded, then suddenly remembered something, looked Xiao Guang up and down, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips:

"But...did you bring that swimsuit I mentioned that looked nice?"

Xiao Guang's face flushed red, and she punched him lightly.

"What are you doing!"

"I'm just asking."

Xiaoyun looked innocent, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Last time you said that outfit was too revealing and you wouldn't wear it, so this time you should..."

"I did bring it, but..."

Xiao Guang's voice grew softer and softer.

Xiaoyun whispered in her ear, "I want to see."

"Well... let's go then, I really can't do anything with you."

These words warmed Xiao Guang's heart, and he agreed.

After a leisurely half-hour stroll, the two arrived at a famous hot spring hotel in Yingxue City.

Yukimi Hot Spring.

This is a traditional Japanese-style building with a wooden structure. The eaves are covered with a thick layer of snow, and red lanterns hang at the entrance, standing out against the white snow.

The faint smell of sulfur mixed with the fresh scent of wood creates a relaxing atmosphere as soon as you get close.

The receptionist was a kind old lady. She watched the two walk in hand in hand and said with a smile:

"Welcome! Are you two a couple? We have private hot springs for couples, quieter than public baths, with better views, and..."
