Chongyun was eating a popsicle in front of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor when he was suddenly greeted by someone.

"Hello there Chongyun! What are you doing?"

"Hello Hu Tao. I'm just eating a popsicle. Here want one?"

"Wow thanks! Mmm this is soo good! Did you make this?"

"No, Xiangling made them for me."

"Oh... I see. Say, why do you eat so many of those things?"

"Well it's how i control the yang energy in my body. If I don't eat these I could suddenly get an increase in body temperature and my emotions could become highly unstable.I really should thank Xiangling later." Chongyun said while munching his Popsicle.

"Yeah,you should..."

"Why do i feel... Jealous? Is it because of Xiangling making popsicles for him? Maybe... I can learn how to make popsicles from her!" Hu Tao thought.

"Hu Tao,are you okay? You're just staring into space."

"N-nothing! Nothing at all!"

"Really, you're face is a bit red."

"I-it's nothing important!" Hu Tao said, fidgeting slightly.

"...She looks really cute..." Chongyun thought to himself.

The next day, Hu Tao went to Wanmin Restaurant,wanting to learn how to make popsicles. Once she arrived she found Xiangling cooking for some of the customers that are there.

"Hello Xiangling!" Hu Tao greeted her.

"Oh Hello Hu Tao! One second..." Xiangling says as she goes back serving food for the customers.

Once the restaurant seemed to calm down a bit, Xiangling approached her.

"So what brings you here?"

"Well i wanted to ask a favor."

"Sure,what's up?"

"Can you...teach me how to make Popsicles?"

"....Is this about Chongyun?"

"Wha no! Of course not!" Hu Tao says,blushing slightly.

"Sureee....." Xiangling said in a teasing manner.

"Are you going to help me or not?" Hu Tao said,pouting slightly.

"*Laughs* Of course! Let me just get the ingredients first."

"I'll help,what do we need?"

"Well since it's you that's going to be making them we need it to be a bit different than usual so how about some Sunsettia and Berry's?"

"Sounds good to me!"

Once they found all of the ingredients, they started to make the Popsicles. And.... Things didn't go so well...

"No you're not supposed to burn them with your vision!"

"I didn't do it on purpose!"

"Guess we're starting over..."

...

"Wait,why is there a chili in here? Chongyun hates them!"

"Guoba!!!"

...

Eventually they were able to make the Popsicles.

"Finally..." Hu Tao says,exhausted.

"Come on now,you still have to give them to him. So don't be exhausted now. Here I'll package them up for you."

Xiangling started to package up the Popsicles into a box that had cryo energy to keep them cold.

"Alright,i suppose i should take these with me." Hu Tao says as she picks up the box.

"Good luck!"

"Yeah,and thank you!"

"Alright now to give these to him... He should be around here somewhere..."

Eventually she found him,sitting in a bench reading a book. And she decided to surprise him a little bit...

"Hello Chongyun!" Hu Tao says,hugging him from behind the bench.

"Ah! Hu Tao?!" Chongyun says,surprised and face red.

Chongyun reaches out in his pocket to grab a popsicle but it seems he ran out.

"Looks like you need some popsicles.Here." Hu Tao says while holding out the package.

"What's that?"

"I brought you some popsicles from Wanmin Restaurant!"

Once she opened the package up,he was met by a bunch of fresh popsicles.

"Wow,thank you!"

"No problem! Well go ahead, dig in!"

Chongyun then took a bite from one of the popsicles while she was observing every inch of his face to see if he liked it.

"Well,how was it?" Hu Tao asks.

"This tastes amazing! It's a lot more sweet but that makes it even better! I wonder what kind of ingredients did Xiangling use this time?"

"Actually... I made those."

"Wait really? You made these Popsicles?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm surprised. These taste really good."

"Good to hear!"

"In fact,if you wouldn't mind... Can you make these for me everyday?" Chongyun asks,face tinted red.

"Of course! I'll make sure that you always get the best popsicles you'll ever taste!"

"*Laughs* Looking forward to it." Chongyun says as he bites back into his popsicle.

And Hu Tao couldn't help but stare...

"He looks really cute right now..." Hu Tao thought.

Out of instinct,she leaned in and pecked him in the cheek. Realizing what she just did,her face became fuming red and as for Chongyun... Let's just say that it will take more than popsicles to calm him down.
