Instinctively, Su Yan stretched his hand forward. By nature, he loved to render help to those in need.

But he must have been in a daze earlier on, for he had forgotten about the distance between them.

“Teacher! Teacher!”

The girl lost her balance and fell forward. Fortunately, her students hastily held her to prevent her from falling. With their help, she managed to gain her balance.

The girl straightened her back and bowed her head. She stuck out her tongue at the children. “This is so embarrassing. I almost fell down.”

She should have been awkward with those parents and spectators standing around the rink. But she wasn’t, and instead, she was natural and unruffled.

Her reaction and tough mentality surprised Su Yan, and he couldn’t peel his eyes off her.

The girl kept her head bowed, and her hair tumbled across her shoulders and hid her face from view. This girl seemed to exude… serenity.

Incredibly, that was what he had been looking for… serenity, peace, and tranquility.

“Teacher, you are so beautiful!”

“Teacher, you’re like a fairy!”

The little boys crowded around her and eagerly clamored for her attention. They lavished her with generous praise.

The teacher gently stroked the heads of two little boys. “Why are you all so sweet?”

‘Why did her voice sound vaguely… familiar?’

Su Yan thought to himself, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard the voice before.

He frowned as he surveyed the girl intently. Xiaojiao suddenly tugged at his clothes. “Uncle, do you also think that the sister is very pretty?”

Xiaojiao’s voice jolted Su Yan back to his senses and he smiled. “She is not as pretty as Xiaojiao.”

Every girl loved compliments, including little girls like Xiaojiao.

She beamed brightly at Su Yan. “Uncle, you’re the best!”

Su Yan grinned at her before he turned around. His eyes wandered back to the teacher, but she had vanished, leaving only the children in sight.

He pressed his lips and withdrew his gaze.

The ice skating rink closed at 9 p.m., and they managed to play for about an hour. Su Yan helped Xiaojiao to remove all her protective gear.

Then he led Xiaojiao towards the exit. He glanced at her and asked, “Xiaojiao, did you have fun?”

Xiaojiao nodded excitedly. “Yes!”

After replying to Su Yan, she turned back to cast a longing glance at the skating rink.

Su Yan noticed the longing in her eyes. He bent to ask, “Do you like to ice skate?”

“I like it. Can we come again?” Xiaojiao peered at him with anticipation.

Su Yan readily nodded. “Sure, I will be your teacher.”

Xiaojiao clung at Su Yan’s leg and she was ecstatic. “Uncle is the best!”

“Shall we go home and sleep now?” Su Yan bent to carry Xiaojiao.

He strode out of the skating rink.

Her clothes weren’t warm enough and she was cold. Even the tip of her nose was slightly red.

Su Yan held her hands together and rubbed them as he walked to the elevator.

“Bye-bye Teacher!”

“Bye!”

The children bid the teacher goodbye, and Su Yan still felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when he heard her voice.

Although it was quite subtle.
