55 Hello Failure

◎Qin Zhen, it turns out that Miss Liang likes Shao Yue.◎

"Hate me?"

Qin Zhen had a smile on his face, but his crystal clear eyes were filled with coldness, and the curve of his mouth was as stiff as a puppet. In the reflection of the sun on the ski field, his skin looked even whiter, and the cold air after skiing made him look a little spooky.

Liang Youwei swallowed her saliva, and her lips trembled slightly.

“…How could that be?”

She held his knuckles, her eyes sincere and cautious: "You know very well that I like you the most."

"Compared to the most, I like this one more." Qin Zhen curved his lips and asked gently and patiently: "Yu Youbai has a look that you like very much, right?"

Liang Youwei clenched her finger tightly and said nothing.

In an instant, Qin Zhen felt that the forced smile became forced. He let go of Liang Youwei's hand, but the next second the person held it again with both hands.

She looked at him with pitiful eyes and called his name sweetly: "Qin Zhen, are you angry?"

Qin Zhen felt that she was asking even though she knew the answer: "What do you think?"

Liang Youwei looked around and said something else: "Um... no?"

She unconsciously pursed her lips, rubbing them up and down repeatedly, her eyes wandering, and seemed to be mixed with fear.

……never mind.

Seeing her like this, Qin Zhen felt a surge of unease. He turned his gaze away and whispered, "It's up to you."

He was always good at hiding all his emotions, whether positive or negative. After saying "whatever you want," Qin Zhen seemed to be completely unconcerned about the matter, concentrating solely on accompanying Liang Youwei skiing, eating, and doing whatever she wanted.

But Liang Youwei was somewhat dissatisfied.

Was Qin Zhen's reaction too small? Did he no longer care about me? When we were dating before, if I looked at someone else for even a second, he would get upset for the whole day.

Anyway, Qin Zhen never took his anger out on her, so Liang Youwei wasn't afraid of him getting angry. Besides, she only liked rich, handsome men who were capable of competing with Qin Zhen and wouldn't lose their jobs or anything else because of her.

However, things are different now. She feels more and more that she can't figure out his thoughts.

What is Qin Zhen thinking about now?

"Why doesn't Ms. Liang continue eating? Is it because Mr. Qin's meal is not to his taste?"

While I was thinking, someone sat down next to me, and a strange yet pleasant voice came in, with a hint of polite doubt and innocence.

Click.

Qin Zhen lowered his eyes and, expressionless, picked up a piece of candied sweet potato. However, the sound was so soft that no one paid attention.

Liang Youwei turned her head in confusion: "Yu—yabashi?"

His name is so strange, especially when he pronounces it.

The other party nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me. If it's convenient, can I sit here?"

Do you have poor eyesight? Are you cutting in line on a date?

The words "Of course it's inconvenient" were stuck in her throat. Her eyes flew across to Qin Zhen who was eating quietly opposite her. A certain thought flashed through her mind. Liang Youwei plucked up the courage and quickly changed her words.

"Can."

Yu Youbai chuckled, his fairytale-like ice-blue eyes slightly curved: "Well, thank you."

He nodded to Qin Zhen and slowly pulled out the seat next to Liang Youwei.

The two men looked at each other, one cold and indifferent, the other smiling provocatively, and the invisible flashes of swords and shadows collided in the air.

Perhaps due to his outgoing personality, Yu Youbai is adept at striking up conversation with strangers. Seeing Liang Youwei grab two extra dishes of sweet and sour pork, he introduced the cuisine of Northeast China. After receiving her curious glance, he recounted his experiences in Northeast China, stating, "To some extent, Northeast China and Northern Europe have some similarities."

When talking about his hometown, he couldn't avoid mentioning his own identity. He told her anecdotes and gossip about the royal families of several countries. His words were easy to understand. Liang Youwei was indeed more interested. She didn't even care about eating, but just looked at him eagerly, saying "and then, and then" over and over.

Yu Youbai resisted the urge to bite her and calmly answered each of her questions. He even used his serving chopsticks to add more food to her plate and carefully reminded her: "If you want to continue skating in the afternoon, you should eat more at noon."

Gentleman, attentive, gentle, and elegant, his every move and every word is filled with the reserve and composure of a royal aristocrat.

But Liang Youwei didn't want to make things easy for anyone. She could tell that this guy was probably interested in her, so she didn't intend to let him get away with it too easily. She tilted her head and said with a smile, "But I'm not skiing this afternoon."

"What would you like to do, Ms. Liang? Enjoy the view, or watch people skate? However, if you're interested, I'd be happy to be the one you watch."

The man before her remained a gentleman, showing no sign of impatience towards her "chaos". He smiled broadly, using stern words to joke, or rather, flirt, right in front of her "ex-boyfriend".

Liang Youwei did not respond immediately, she looked at Qin Zhen.

She just didn't believe that Qin Zhen, such a dark and jealous person, could pretend to be calm.

Surprisingly, Qin Zhen remained silent, not expressing any opinion. After taking a sip of his crucian carp and tofu soup, he leaned back in his chair, leisurely took out his phone, and typed a few words with one hand, as if he were working.

The sunlight was so bright that it was a little dazzling. It shone through the glass floor-to-ceiling windows, refracting light on the phone screen and hitting the man's tall and thin nose bridge and brow bone. His pupils were light and clear, as calm as water, high and mighty, and detached from the world.

"Why don't you continue eating?" After being stared at for a long time, Qin Zhen finally looked her in the eye. "Are you full?"

...He was so calm, without even a hint of extra emotion.

Liang Youwei narrowed her eyes, suddenly wanting to see how long he could hold it in. "I'm full. Yu Youbai, you grew up in Northern Europe, so you should be pretty good at skiing, right?"

"Not bad." Yu Youbai said modestly, "Just the level of a national athlete, that's all."

Liang Youwei turned around and faced him with a serious expression: "If I want to watch you skate, will you perform well?"

Just when he was dozing off, a pillow appeared. Yu Youbai was more than happy to receive it. He smiled and said, "I will do my best."

The two of them discussed things back and forth, completely ignoring Qin Zhen.

Liang Youwei didn't ask for his opinion, but Yu Youbai was quite understanding. He curiously asked, "What are Mr. Qin's plans for this afternoon? Do you want to go skiing with us?"

Qin Zhen's cold and indifferent eyes swept over him, like broken jade floating on ice: "Your Chinese is really not good. From the beginning to the end, you are the third person besides us."

Neither good nor bad.

But he stretched out his hand to Liang Youwei. Liang Youwei bit her lip and looked unconvinced, but she actually and obediently took his hand.

Staring at the pair of clasped hands, Yu Youbai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Was he the agent they were upset with? But it didn't matter. Stealing someone shouldn't be difficult. Even though he had no experience, he could do it well.

For someone you like, shouldn't you take the initiative to pursue them?

Liang Youwei has a beautiful imagination.

A group of beautiful faces and figures will compete with each other for beauty, showing fancy skiing postures and cool styles. Maybe you can even see Qin Zhen's strange look of "breaking defense". Add to that the "punishment" that will definitely come in the evening, and you won't be able to imagine how exciting the next time will be.

But her smile didn't last half an hour.

Seeing Shao Yue walking towards them leisurely, Liang Youwei couldn't believe it. Without thinking, she grabbed Qin Zhen and asked, "What are you crazy about? Did you really call him here?"

"What else?" Qin Zhen inherited his ex-girlfriend's smile, killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own. He chuckled softly: "Your secret crush is here in person, Weiwei, are you happy?"

He has never been a person who would submit to others' wishes. Normally, he would obey Liang Youwei in everything, but even rabbits will bite when they are angry, and Qin Zhen will be even more cannibalistic.

There were so many things that made him unhappy, so what was this little thing? What's more, he had Liang Youwei by his side.

Not a loss at all.

"Weiwei, long time no see."

In the blink of an eye, a man in a bright red ski suit was already in front of her. He lowered his eyes to look at her, and even the tone of his greeting was the same as usual.

Like a conditioned reflex, Liang Youwei wanted to let go of Qin Zhen's hand, but he held it tightly and she couldn't pull it out.

Furious, she glared at Qin Zhen, only to find his gaze cold. Her rage quickly died down. Looking forward, Shao Yue's gaze was still fixed on her hand. Looking back, Yu Youbai's expression was half-smile.

The long, invisible ears drooped.

In this situation, Liang Youwei only hated her previous impulsiveness.

She should be so happy! What's going on now?! Is she incapable of creating a Shura Field?!

"Brother Shao Yue..." At last, she called out in a low voice with her head down.

Shao Yue responded lightly, then looked at Qin Zhen, with a forced smile and a completely different tone: "Good afternoon, Mr. Qin."

The other person's expression was exactly the same as his. "Mr. Shao, too." He leaned slightly to the side. "This is Yu Youbai, you should know him."

"Yeah, we met by chance."

On the surface, the three of them were getting along peacefully and greeting each other. Liang Youwei was so busy feeling discouraged that she didn't notice the strange atmosphere lingering between them.

"Weiwei, do you want to go skating today?" Shao Yue didn't care about Yu Youbai and Qin Zhen. After a brief greeting, he asked the question.

Liang Youwei lowered her head and twisted her fingers, not looking at him: "I played this morning."

The implication was that she was to lie down and not move in the afternoon.

But what she didn't expect was that Shao Yue reached out and gently rubbed her head: "I remember I always wanted to learn snowboarding. Can I teach you today?"

"...Huh?" She was stunned and looked up.

Shao Yue raised his eyebrow: "Don't you want to learn from me?"

"I did!" Liang Youwei was weak-willed and changed sides in an instant, deciding not to lie down.

"Let's go." After saying that, he extended his right hand leisurely.

Liang Youwei's heart was beating like a drum. She blinked, with hesitation and uncertainty still in her eyes, while the other party smiled and nodded, letting his hand move closer.

After receiving the affirmation, Liang Youwei instantly regained her vitality. She tried hard to smile, but she couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth turned up sharply. However, she was not yet overwhelmed by this joy, and she did not forget to glance at Qin Zhen.

The man curved his lips and said understandingly: "I'm not good at snowboarding, let him teach me, it's okay."

Then, like a good man, he let go of the hand.

Shao Yue took Liang Youwei away.

From beginning to end, Shao Yue didn't even glance at Qin Zhen and Yu Youbai, not even to show off.

Because there is no need.

Yu Youbai leaned against the wall and watched the two figures walk away, quite surprised: "Qin Zhen, it turns out that Miss Liang likes Shao Yue."

"What do you want to express?" Qin Zhen remained unmoved and said coldly.

"You're such a failure." Yu Youbai smiled frankly, "That's it."

Qin Zhen raised his eyelids and twitched the corners of his lips: "The prerequisite for failure is participation, and you don't even have the qualifications."

"But I respect every choice she makes. That's our difference."
