It was clear that Hutao truly loved the snowy mountains; just standing there and exhaling mist made her beam with joy, her eyes full of delight.
The other Little Ones were also more or less drawn to the snow.
Ningguang tilted his head, thoughtfully watching the swirling snow.
He was wondering how to maximize profits if he were to sell all this snow.
Shenhe gazed at the pure white world before him, feeling an indescribable tranquility within.
It wasn't noisy or chaotic here, only the occasional whoosh of wind, making it very suitable for quiet cultivation.
Little Ayaka squatted on the ground, molding one 'pastry' after another from the snow, then offered them to Makoto to share.
Qiqi stood still, letting the falling snow land on him.
For him, the cool climate of the snowy mountains was very comfortable.
During this time, he also saw snow foxes foraging in the snow, and Qiqi's attention was immediately drawn to them.
He looked at the snow fox, then at Yae Miko, feeling an indescribable resemblance between the two.
Yae Miko noticed Qiqi's gaze and deliberately revealed the fox tail from behind her skirt, scaring Qiqi into quickly hiding behind Makoto.
Makoto looked in the direction Qiqi pointed, but saw nothing.
Xiao Qiqi took out his notebook and quietly wrote down sentences like "Fox... dangerous..."
Yae Miko, seeing this scene, hummed a soft tune.
She was happy about teasing the Little Ones.
Ganyu reached out and touched Makoto's palm, and only relaxed when he confirmed that Makoto's hand was warm.
Good brother Liben ran off to find ice mist flowers nearby, encountered a few ice foxes emerging from the snow, and ran back screaming.
At this moment, Venti stepped forward and said, "Little Ones, how about we play a snowball fight game together?"
In a place like the snowy mountains, the most fun thing to do is have a snowball fight, especially when there are many people.
"Okay, okay, let's have a snowball fight!"
Hearing about playing a game, Hutao was the first to clap his hands in agreement.
Immediately after, Hu Tao tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "But how should we divide into teams?"
"As far as I know, you need to be divided into two camps for a snowball fight, right?"
The other Little One also nodded repeatedly; if they were to have a snowball fight, how should the teams be divided?
They all wanted to be on the same team as Makoto.
Venti stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's definitely necessary to divide the teams fairly."
"How about this, I won't bully the Little Ones, I'll let you all have a chance."
"Mr. Faxun and I will be on one team, and you Little Ones will be on another team, how does that sound?"
"Good! It's a deal!"
The Little Ones gathered together and discussed it, thinking that Venti's division was reasonable.
Although Makoto and Venti's side had two adults, their numbers were not small; there were eight Little Ones, so it wasn't a disadvantage.
After both sides negotiated, they began to split up and make snowballs.
Venti was very experienced in snowball fights and immediately led Makoto to occupy areas with a lot of snow.
A lot of snow meant they could easily make snowballs, and dealing with the Little Ones would be too easy then.
However, while Venti was still huffing and puffing making snowballs,
Suddenly, a dense sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Venti looked up and saw that the Little Ones had already surrounded them, and they were holding snowballs of various sizes in their hands.
After all, they had the advantage in numbers, making it relatively easier for the Little Ones to make snowballs.
Coupled with wearing gloves, it wasn't long before they came over with plenty of ammunition.
Facing the surrounding Little Ones, Makoto and Venti leaned back-to-back, preparing to go all out.
Makoto looked at Venti behind him and warned, "Venti, when the snowball fight starts, snowballs will be flying everywhere, I won't be able to look after you."
Venti nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Faxun, I'll be fine."
Before he could finish speaking, Venti suddenly felt an emptiness behind him.
He turned his head and found that Makoto was no longer behind him, but standing in the Little Ones' team.
Venti:???
Is this what you meant by not being able to look after me when the fight starts?
Makoto, you old traitor!
The fight hasn't even started yet, and you've already defected!
At this moment, Hutao waved his big hand: "Launch snowballs!"
As the words fell, Venti felt a dense shower of snowballs descending from the sky.
Watching Venti being submerged by snowballs, Taroumaru excitedly ran around nearby, his tail almost twisting into a propeller, as happy as if it were New Year's.
