When Sherry and Daniel arrived at the Rideau Canal, there were only a few young people there in the
thin morning fog.
After a few days of not skating, Sherry had already forgotten what she had learned that day, and she
no longer had the courage she had then.
Daniel held her hand and slowly walked her to the ice. He said, "Relax little. Your body doesn't need to
be so stiff. Just find your balance.”
Sherry was hunched over, gripping Daniel's forearms tightly. Once she got used to the feeling of being
on the ice, she slowly lifted her head and found her balance.
She loosened her grip and tried to stand on her own like last time.
However, just two seconds after she let go, she lost her balance and fell forward, into Daniel's arms.
Daniel gripped her waist and held her arms again. "Don't worry, take your time.”
This time, Sherry moved more slowly.
Eventually, she found her balance.
Because Sherry had done it for a few hours before, she had some muscle memory from the previous
time. Once she got used to the ice, she could skate a little by herself.
However, it was only a few steps, and she did not dare to go further.
Daniel reached out to her. "I'll take you to the front to have a look."
Sherry looked at him hesitantly. She reached her hand out then withdrew it, "I think this place is actually
quite..."
Before she finished speaking, Daniel had already grabbed her hand and smoothly led her forward.
Sherry was so frightened that she screamed. She quickly closed her eyes and hugged his arm.
Daniel smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Just like before, spread your arms and maintain balance
with your body. | guarantee that you won't fall. Trust me.”
Sherry tentatively opened her eyes, and her hands slowly loosened.
She followed Daniel's rhythm, gaining speed and skating faster.
When they stopped, Sherry turned around and found that they had skated a long, long distance.
Daniel held her arm and said, "Let's go back and try it again.”
Sherry nodded and took a deep breath. Under his lead, she skated slowly at first, then faster and
faster.
After a while, she felt that she was getting the hang of it and she didn't feel as scared as before.
Just as Sherry was smiling, she looked up and saw Daniel not far from her.
? Wait, so there was no one next to her? Sherry was distracted for a moment, and she suddenly
panicked and lost her balance. When Daniel saw this, he immediately skated over. He pulled her into
his arms as she was falling.copy right hot novel pub Then, both of them fell on the ice, making a dull
thudding sound. Sherry originally thought that she would be hurt, but when she opened her eyes, not
only was she cushioned by Daniel, but his face was twisted in pain. He must have taken the brunt of
the fall. Sherry quickly got up from on top of him and looked him over. "How is it? Did I fall on your
wound? Do you need to go to the hospital to have a check?" Daniel rubbed his chest and slowly sat up.
He looked at her and laughed, "Are you so afraid that I will die?" Sherry gave him a heavy slap. "You
really... Who told you to suddenly let go of me? You deserve to die." Daniel said, "Weren't you skating
perfectly well by yourself?" "Then I... You have to give me some warning, right? I wasn't prepared at
all." Sherry whispered. Daniel pulled her up. "You skated very well just now. Let's go again." The fall
had frightened Sherry. She shook her head, meaning to give up. Daniel saw through her thoughts and
grabbed her wrist. "What are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you? With me here, you won't fall."
Sherry agreed, after all, he was still her human cushion.
Even so, she couldn't help but say, “I'm afraid that after a couple more falls like that you'll die."
Daniel said, "You don't have confidence in yourself. Be bold."
As he spoke, Daniel took a step back and made a gentleman's bow. He extended his hand towards her
again with a smile in his eyes.
“Come, my Princess."
Sherry blushed.
At this time, there were already more people in the skating rink.
Because of Daniel's actions, many people looked over.
Sherry coughed and reluctantly stretched out her hand, urging in a low voice, “Let's go, let's go. Hurry
up. People are watching us."
Daniel wanted to laugh.
After some practice, Sherry's skating abilities advanced rapidly. It did not take long for her to really let
go of Daniel's hand and skate a long distance away.
At first, she was a little stressed, afraid of bumping into others, but after skating for a long time, she
naturally became more skilled.
Although it took her an entire morning, Sherry was happy having accomplished something.
During lunch, Sherry yawned and asked, "Where are we going in the afternoon? I'm so tired. If there's
nothing important, let's go back to sleep."
Daniel said, “It's quite important."
He glanced at his watch. "It's been almost half an hour. You can sleep in the car for a while."
Sherry clicked her tongue and wondered what was so important.
When she got in the car, Sherry was really sleepy and fell asleep almost straight away.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that the car had stopped at some point and Daniel was
gone.
There was no one else around.
Sherry grabbed her phone, pushed open the door, and tentatively called, "Daniel?"
All she heard was her own echo.
In front of her was a long corridor.
It seemed that this was the only path in the vicinity.
The more she walked, the more confused she became. Scenes from horror movies flashed in her mind
one by one.
She felt that there must be some monster or passage into another world at the end of the long corridor.
Sherry tsked and stopped. She instantly gave up the idea of continuing forward. She decided to go
back to the car and wait.
But just as she turned around, she saw the door she had come through was closed.
Damn. This didn't seem like a movie anymore.
At this moment, her phone rang. It was a call from Daniel.
Sherry quickly answered, "Where are you? I might..."
Daniel took a deep breath. "Go inside. I'll wait for you inside."
"... Oh."
What was he doing?
It was so mysterious. Was it really some big deal?
Sherry steadied her breath, gripped her phone, and continued down the corridor.
Just as some scary thoughts kept flashing through her mind, she looked up and saw Daniel standing at
the end of the hall. He was wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie. His hands were behind his back as if he
had been waiting for a long time.
