Iron Bull froze, a flicker of joy rising in his heart. But on second thought, a bitter smile appeared on his lips... He just didn't know whether he would ever get the chance to wear it.
"Xiao Xue, I need to talk to you. Come outside with me."
"What is it?"
Miao Xue looked at him in surprise.
Iron Bull paused before speaking.
"I want to... give you flowers."

"Come out and see for yourself."
Iron Bull scratched his head.

The crisp, chilly air instantly refreshed them. Bright moonlight spilled over the white snow, reflecting countless specks of light.
The moonlight and snowlight intertwined, creating a scene that looked almost like something from a fairy tale.

"Don't worry. We're almost there."
Iron Bull replied.

"Here."
Iron Bull said.

"It's all snow here. Where are the flowers?"
"Look."
Iron Bull said softly.
As his words fell, a magical sight appeared.
A faint pink glow spread out, shrouding the entire area. Then the snow began to rustle as green shoots broke through it and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In
