"Let's go, we're setting off," Lin Yu'an said, not holding December but opening the door and stepping outside first.
Then he turned back, using encouraging eyes and a gentle voice to call it, "Come on, December, come out and see."
December hesitated for a moment at the door, its small nostrils flaring quickly as it sniffed the cold and fresh air outside.
It could see the snowy path leading to a white world, but the thick, unfamiliar snow beyond the path seemed to remind it of bad memories, causing it to instinctively feel a hint of hesitation.
But ultimately, trust in Lin Yu'an and its innate curiosity overcame the safety of staying in a familiar environment.
It tentatively stepped out its little short legs, for the first time stepping onto the land outside the shelter.
At first, it walked cautiously on the solid path cleared by Lin Yu'an, step by step, like a child just learning to walk.
