Hi, everybody. This chapter has been edited by a new editor. Please don’t forget to leave feedback.

“I brought pastries so they won’t taste good tomorrow,” After speaking, Liu Yating followed Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu into their room. She chatted with them and didn’t leave the room until late at night.

Xu Xinduo was lying in bed as she read the messages on her mobile phone. Tong Yan was still complaining: [What on earth is Liu Yating up to?]

Tong Yan: [You two are girls so she shouldn’t be thinking of pursuing you, right?]

Tong Yan: [Can’t you just ignore her?]

Xu Xinduo: [You’re thinking too much. I think Liu Yating just has a good impression of me and just wants us to be friends.  It’s just that we don’t see eye to eye in some situations.]

Tong Yan: [Do you really think so?]

Xu Xinduo: [Next time, let’s be a bit more careful when we talk..]

Tong Yan: [Okay.]

…

The next day, a group of them gathered in a party venue near the ski resort.

As always, Tong Yan, Wei Lan and Su Wei were inseparable. Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu were also together. On the other hand, Liu Yating came uninvited.

Liu Yating took off her coat and complained, “This place has not been cleaned properly; there is a smell in the room.”

Xu Xinduo went across the room, turning on the ventilator and the lights at the same time.

Wei Lan ran over to set up the music and asked the others, “What do you guys want to listen to?”

Lou Xu immediately became energetic. She also ran over and volunteered, “I want to sing!”

Tong Yan put down his bag before walking to Liu Yating’s side. Then, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Liu Yating replied in a soft tone,”Don’t worry, I’m not here for you.”

After speaking, she turned to Xu Xinduo and asked, “Duoduo, didn’t you say that you can play billiards? Let’s have a match.”

Tong Yan watched Liu Yating brazenly pester Xu Xinduo and gritted his teeth in anger.

In the end, Tong Yan decided to sit down on the sofa which was placed in front of a small ancient stove and began to use his mobile phone.

Su Wei watched as Liu Yating and Xu Xinduo played billiards. And on the other side, Lou Xu and Wei Lan were singing—Tong Yan seemed to be the one who was out of place.

After playing a round of billiards, Xu Xinduo gave the cue stick to Su Wei before walking over to Tong Yan’s side. Then, she sat down beside him.

The selling point of this party venue was this ancient stove. It was well maintained so there was no smoke and dust coming out. There was a circle of sofas around the stove along with a lot of books.

People who come here could sit around the stove and chat or even play games. The environment was very comfortable.

In fact, there were proper heating systems in other parts of the party venue to ensure that people would not feel  too cold.

This stove was just to create a pleasant atmosphere.

From the narrow opening of the stove, one could still see the fire burning and hear the crackling sound of the snapping firewood.

There were also logs placed beside the stove, which could be placed inside when all the wood in the stove was burned. This was something that was made for the people of the city to experience, but Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan didn’t care about the stove at all.

Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan and asked, “Why are you always unhappy nowadays?”

“I am not unhappy.”

“Nah, you just have too much of an ego.”

“And it’s my fault?”

“Mmhm.”

While the two were talking, Wei Lan walked over with his mobile phone and sat not far away from them as he sent a message. Lou Xu was still busy singing.

Yesterday, while skiing, Wei Lan met a girl and they were having an intense conversation of interest. At that moment, he received a message from that girl.
