Chapter 103 (Censored) – Unique logo (Translated and edited by Xing)
Li Yubing’s bright and clear eyes showed Tang Xue’s reflection . His eyes were sincere with nothing to hide . This made Tang Xue wonder if she had mistaken him . She raised her hand and use her index finger to tap his temple softly . She said, “Maybe you’re too stressed out . Rest well . ” As she spoke, she turned to leave .
Li Yubing suddenly embraced her from behind, twining his long arms around her body like vines .
He leaned next to her ear and whispered, “Tang Xue, I want—”
“Don’t even think about it! Rogue!”
“I want to pass you your New Year present . ” Here, Li Yubing paused . His voice was a little puzzled . “That’s roguish?”
“Cough . ”
Li Yubing grinned . He asked deliberately, “What did you think I meant? What weird ideas are you holding towards me? You rogue . ”
Tang Xue stretched her arm behind and rubbed his dog head gently . “Getting bolder, are we? Heh . ” Her laugh was sinister .
Li Yubing did not take the joke too far . He released her, walked over to the wardrobe and fished out a black, palm-sized box from it . The box was slim and the right size to fit into an overcoat’s pocket .
“New Year’s present . ” He held the box out to Tang Xue . As he did so, a faint smile lingered softly his eyes like willow branches swayed in the spring breeze .
Tang Xue could not help acknowledging how perfect the current lighting and atmosphere was . Standing there like this, Li Yubing looked kind of delicious . She hurriedly took her eyes off him, took the box and opened it with fast fingers .
The exterior of the stiff, black paper box was embossed with a silver logo that she did not recognize . She did not think much of it and when she opened the box, she saw a pair of gloves lying inside .
It was not an ordinary pair of gloves . Rather, it was a pair of gloves meant for speed skating . The gloves were pure-white and made of cut-resistant materials . On the back of the gloves was a somewhat familiar-looking pattern drawn in pink lines .
Eh?
Tang Xue held up the gloves and scrutinized it . After she did that, she took a second look at the gift box and discovered that the two patterns were the same .
“What is this brand? I don’t think I’ve seen it before?” Tang Xue was puzzled .
Li Yubing rubbed her head . “Idiot . Take a closer look . ”
Thus, she looked at the pattern again . The lines of the pattern were clean and elegant . She looked at it with the same focus as when doing her assignments . After a while, she finally realized something .
“A letter ‘L’ and a letter ‘T’ . And here, is this a heart?”
“Mm . ”
“L, Li . T, Tang…” Tang Xue halted and twisted her head to look at him .
The smile still in his eyes, Li Yubing nodded . This chapter is a labour of love that should not be found outside of teafragrance[dot]wordpress[dot]com .
Tang Xue was deeply moved . She felt her eyes dampened and using her fingers to trace the pattern carefully, she asked . “Did you design this?”

“I asked someone majoring in art at our school to design this . ” After saying this, he added, “A guy . ”
Tang Xue was originally so moved that she was about to cry . However, when she heard this, she burst into laughter . “No one asked about his gender . ”
“I want to clarify even if you didn’t ask . ” Li Yubing pointed to the pattern . “From now on, this is our unique logo . ”
“Oh?”
“Both of us will wear the same logo to compete . As the saying goes, ‘as long as both husband and wife are of the same heart, there’s nothing that they can’t overcome’ . ”
Tang Xue’s face reddened . “Scram, who wants to be your wife . ”

The next day, Tang Xue gave Li Yubing a present as well .
The New Year present that she prepared for him was a scarf . In front of the logo that Li Yubing specially customized, she suddenly felt that her scarf pales greatly in comparison .
What should she do?
Got it .
Tang Xue told Li Yubing, “Li Yubing, I’ll take this scarf back first . I’ll let Liao Zhenyu help to stitch a logo on it . ”

Li Yubing picked out a piece of key information from her words . “What does it has to do with Liao Zhenyu?”
“Liao Zhenyu has really skilful hands and he likes to do art and craft . He has made countless little bears, rabbits, cats and frogs . The little rabbit hanging from my bag was made by him . ”
Li Yubing’s imagination was limited . He was unable to piece together the idea of Liao Zhenyu, a guy with thick eyebrows and large eyes, with handcrafted rabbits . That image was simply too out of place .
Tang Xue continued explaining, “So Liao Zhenyu would definitely be more successful at stitching the logo than me . ”
“There’s no need . ” Li Yubing did not want to receive a piece of clothing with something that had been carefully stitched on by a man . It felt a little odd to him . He raised one corner of the scarf and pressed it against Tang Xue’s lips . “Just imprinting a kiss is enough . ”
Tang Xue looked at him with blinking eyes . The uncensored version of this chapter can be found at teafragrance[dot]wordpress[dot]com .
After keeping the scarf, Li Yubing saw that she was still looking at him without saying a word . “What’s wrong?”
“Little devil . ”

On 15 January, the World University Winter Games welcomed its opening ceremony .

The competition was held in Yun City, a city located in the central of China . Tang Xue and Li Yubing headed there together with the other ice sports athletes from RCU . When they reached Yun City, it began snowing gently . The city became pristine white under a blanket of snow and looked extremely lovely .
Perhaps due to the fact that her name had the word “snow (xue)”, Tang Xue found snow something impossible for her to grow tired of . Sitting on the bus, she sprawled in front of the glass window and watched the snow scenery with a bright smile .
Li Yubing sat beside her . Taking advantage of his long limbs, he placed one hand on top of her head restlessly . Whenever the bus jolted, his hand would immediately slip to her forehead and stopped her from bumping into the window . After the jolting stopped, his hand would shift back to the top of her head . He would then ruffle her hair before continuing to rest his hand there .
Those actions were secretly filmed by someone and uploaded onto the internet . Their fans scoffed the dog food down, greatly entertained .
……
The ice hockey competition began on the second day of the opening ceremony and would last all the way until the last competition date of the World University Winter Games . As for the speed skating competition, it would officially begin on 18 January but Tang Xue’s 500 metres event was on the 19th . Subsequently, her next competition was the women’s 3000 metres relay
On the 18th, Tang Xue did not have any competition . After notifying the RCU team leader, Tang Xue dashed over to the stadium that held the ice hockey event to watch Li Yubing .
When Li Yubing appeared, he was expectedly using a hockey stick taped in pink . However, this time, there was a strange pattern on the tape . Many people noticed this and discussed it curiously .
For this competition, the Chinese team was up against the Swiss team . The Chinese team had the home ground advantage and played sharply from the start . Li Yubing’s performance was aggressive and he managed to score not even five minutes into the game .
16 minutes into the competition, Jiang Shijia passed the puck to Li Yubing and Li Yubing raised his hockey stick to shoot the puck . He had got into an excellent position that was able to take advantage of the gap in their competitors’ defence . Tang Xue felt that this score was in the bag for the Chinese Team .
However, Li Yubing’s slightly raised hockey stick did not swing down . It halted in the air for a split second before abruptly slipping from Li Yubing’s fingers and landing on the ice with a clatter .
The next moment, Li Yubing’s body swayed and he toppled onto the ice .
