Aurora walked out of the room, wearing a long, cream-colored teddy coat, paired with gray leggings and white short-necked wool boots. A large cobalt blue wool scarf was draped around her neck.
F4 was also ready, wearing a warm outfit that matched Aurora's outfit, both elegant and showing off an overwhelming aura. Knox glanced at Aurora, a slight smile on his lips:
"What a great outfit, baby."
Aurora smiled shyly, her green eyes flashing with joy, and followed F4 to the luxurious black Rolls Royce, the engine running smoothly, rolling towards Baifeng Mountain where today, she would be able to see the beautiful Heavenly Lake from the west slope of Changbai Mountain.
At 6am, the early morning sunlight gently shone through the pine trees on the slope of Changbai Mountain, F4 Blacke, Knox, Zane and Easton along with Aurora were already at the tourist area, preparing to buy tickets to the west slope cable car area. The air was chilly, but Aurora's smile and gaze made the atmosphere unusually warm.
Aurora walked in the snow, happily playing with each snowflake that fell on her hand. She knew that in October, the snow had not yet covered the mountain, but thanks to a little delicate "arrangement", yesterday she had made the snow thicker, creating a dreamy white scene, both beautiful and ideal for enjoying the morning.
She played with the snow and smiled brightly, her green eyes shining with excitement at the feeling of managing both Changbai Mountain and the surrounding nature, which made her happy, because although the human world was complicated, to Aurora, anything related to trees and nature was under her control, like a queen heir to Luneva.
F4 stood beside her, watching Aurora play with the snow, her face both serious and hiding a gentle smile, looking like seeing a mischievous little girl playing happily in the middle of an icy world. Blacke, his eyes full of possessiveness but also filled with gentleness, softly exclaimed:
"What a… naughty and adorable little brat."
Aurora opened her mouth and giggled, jumping onto a patch of white snow, and F4 just stood there, chuckling softly, letting her freely enjoy the moment in the snow, both teaching her how to observe, and observing her in her natural, mischievous beauty without losing her inherent powerful aura.
That scene, although simple, but lit up the entire Changbai Mountainside, F4's eyes and Aurora's innocence seemed to blend together, creating a warm and sweet morning.
The cable car from the west side slowly glided up Changbai Mountain, the cold wind blew in, making Aurora's cheeks blush, her black hair fluttering lightly with each vibration of the cabin. F4 stood beside him, his eyes both sharp and gentle, not forgetting to tease:
"Little brat, you're blushing again, you're so cute…"
Aurora quickly glared, her face burning:
"I'm not a little brat or kid, you guys should address me normally!"
F4 smirked, his eyes teasing and possessive, still addressing her like a child, making Aurora annoyed but she tried to hold back her smile, turned her face to look at the sun shining golden rays on the white mountainside, and the majestic Changbai Mountain in the distance made her look like a muse in the middle of nature, her beauty both proud and pure.
While Aurora attentively observed the scenery, Blacke secretly took out his phone, took a few secret photos. The tilted angle, the light shining on Aurora's hair and skin, each photo seemed to be perfectly arranged, both natural and enchanting. Knox and Zane also held back their laughter, knowing that Blacke was passionately taking pictures of his muse.
Aurora realized that action, glanced over, her eyes sparkling but still not angry, just pursed her lips and smiled softly, letting F4 do as she pleased, keeping her distance while allowing them to admire her beauty among the drifting snow mountains. The cabin was filled with gentle silence, with only the steady sound of the cable car and the wind blowing through, making the moment both warm and delicate, like a vivid painting in the middle of Changbai Mountain.
Aurora and F4 stepped down from the cable car cabin, the snow-covered road leading up to the top of Changbai Mountain was about a 15-minute walk. The cold wind blew in, making her long black hair flutter, small snowflakes landed on her shoulders and long eyelashes. Her fair skin, with only a light pink lip balm applied, became even more radiant under the cold morning light, her big, round, green eyes like jade, making Aurora look like a muse amidst the floating scenery of white snow and early morning sunlight.
Blacke couldn't help but take out his phone to secretly take a picture and film Aurora, and she also cooperated, smiling slightly, posing naturally like a muse who knew she was being watched. Knox chuckled, reached out to stroke Aurora's long black hair and exclaimed:
"You're really beautiful, Aurora, absolutely cinematic."
Aurora cleared her throat, blushing but still tried to calmly say:
"I... I'm just normal."
Zane mischievously raised his eyebrows to look at her, teasingly:
"Normal? Looking at the way the snow makes your cheeks blush, I see you as a living painting."
Aurora walked while observing the scenery, chatting with F4, sometimes turning back to look at them, her eyes were both innocent and intelligent, making each step seem to be in harmony with the surrounding space, both natural and attracting all eyes. The white snow scene, the morning light and Aurora like a muse made F4 smile constantly, teasing, gentle, and fascinated by her.
Aurora thought to herself, between the white snow and F4, she felt both comfortable and possessed, but also indescribably interesting.
Aurora (looking up at the snowy landscape, exhaling mist): "This place is so beautiful… the air is so fresh."
Blacke (smiling, walking close to her): "More beautiful than the picture, but still not as beautiful as… you."
Aurora (shy, turning away, blushing): "I'm not… a little girl or a kid, you guys just call me normally."
Knox (smiling softly, stroking Aurora's hair): "Little girl… oh, never mind, let's call her that to get used to it, never mind, let us tease each other a little."
Zane (squinting, mischievously): "Seeing you so cheerful in the snow, I think you're a real muse, little girl."
Aurora (smiling lightly, trying to appear calm): "I'm just… walking, nothing special."
Easton (pulling out his phone, secretly taking a picture of Aurora): "This moment must be captured, no one else is more worthy than you."
Aurora (smirking, but still blushing): "You can take whatever you want, but don't overdo it."
Blacke: "It's okay to overdo it, I don't object."
Aurora: "You guys… always like to call me baby. I find it a bit cheesy."
Knox: "Baby is cheesy, but you're still ours. Come on, enjoy the view, there's still a long way to go."
Easton (holding up the camera, zooming in on Aurora): "Looking at you like this, nature and man are truly one."
Aurora (walking and observing F4, her eyes sharp): "You guys know how to look at people, I can see your eyes clearly."
Blacke (smiling softly, placing his hand on her shoulder gently): "You're so perceptive, little one. But we like seeing you like this."
Aurora (sighing softly, innocently): "It's a bit stressful, but… it's also fun."
Knox: "You like fun, little one? We'll make sure you have more moments like this."
Aurora (looking up at the sun rising over the mountains): "This scene… makes me want to keep it in my heart forever."
Zane (joking, stepping closer): "Then let us keep it in pictures, but you have to cooperate, little one."
Aurora (shy, chuckles, turns away): "Yeah… let's cooperate, but don't overdo it."
Easton: "Not too much… just enough to let you know we're always by your side."
Aurora (thinks to herself): "Between the white snow and the F4, I'm both possessed and protected… Humans are really… hard to describe."
Aurora gasps, taking the last steps up to the top of the mountain. The snow is white, the cold wind blows gently on her face, making her cheeks blush like winter apples.
Aurora (giggles, slaps her hand on the snow): "This snow… is cold but fun! Look, I made a snowball!"
Blacke (chuckles, takes out her phone, takes a photo of Aurora from behind): "Baby… you look like a muse in a winter painting."
Aurora (looks up, squints at Blacke): "You can take any photo, but don't… reveal too much, I still want to keep it a secret."
Knox (steps closer, gently stroking Aurora's hair that is blowing in the wind): "You're so pretty, little one. Just let the wind and snow be your background."
Zane (playfully, gently throws a snowball at Aurora): "Let's test how this muse reacts."
Aurora (screams and giggles, pushes Zane): "You naughty girl!"
Easton (holds the camera, filming the whole scene of Paradise Lake and Aurora playing in the snow): "This moment must be captured, you're both natural and beautiful."
Aurora takes a deep breath, her eyes looking down at Paradise Lake, the water surface is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding cliffs. The wind blows, the snow flies lightly, creating a scene that is both majestic and poetic.
Aurora (gently, speaking to F4): "This place... is wonderful. I understand why you guys want to come here with me."
Blacke (holding her hand, warm voice): "It's not just for sightseeing, baby. We want you to see… you belong here, with us."
Aurora blushed, smiling slightly. She played with the snow, throwing one at Blacke, making him both surprised and laughing. Immediately, Knox and Easton also took the opportunity to take pictures of this scene, while Zane playfully threw a few more small snowballs at Aurora, making her giggle.
After that, the group stopped near the lake, Blacke brought Aurora to stand next to him, and the two took a few photos together. Aurora leaned lightly against Blacke, her cheeks flushed, her green eyes shining in the early morning sunlight.
Aurora (laughing): "Brother… don't pose too seriously, I want to be natural."
Blacke (smiling, turning his phone to take a photo): "Whatever the baby says, but you're too beautiful to be natural is still a masterpiece."
Aurora shook her head and smiled shyly, turning back to take a few private photos by the lake, sometimes standing, sometimes kneeling on the snow, letting the light reflect on her long black hair and rosy white skin.
Knox gently stroked her hair, taking a few close-up shots, Easton also delicately filmed Aurora playing in the snow, and Zane constantly teased her to get the most natural moments.
The group stood by Paradise Lake, snow was falling lightly, light filtered through the mountains, Aurora was laughing, breathing heavily, feeling the warmth from F4. Without too many words, just eyes and small gestures, they understood each other.
