Liu Yating took the things very quickly, jogging to and fro. When she came back, she looked at Xu Xinduo with a complicated look in her eyes, but she still followed Xu Xinduo.

Liu Yating is 160 cm tall, 15 cm taller than Xu Xinduo. She has a slender and petite figure, and looks like a little bird next to Xu Xinduo.

However, Liu Yating was small but had amazing momentum. She walked with the wind and her walking speed was no slower than Xu Xinduo.

When the three of them arrived near the entrance of the hot spring, they saw Tong Yan already waiting nearby. When he saw Liu Yating, he immediately came over and said to her alone, "Stay away from Xu Xinduo."

Liu Yating immediately lost her temper and yelled at him fiercely: "What's your business? Who do you think you are?"

Tong Yan stretched out his hand and held Liu Yating's little head: "Come, come and chat with your brother."

"Don't block me, I have nothing to say to you." Liu Yating still had the things she brought in her hands. She couldn't use her hands, so she could only use her head to push Tong Yan's big hands away, but she couldn't push them away at all.

The two of them started to compete with each other, and Xu Xinduo couldn't help but said, "Tong Yan, don't bully her."

Tong Yan immediately retorted: "I bully her? With her bad temper, how can I bully her?!"

Liu Yating took the opportunity to bypass Tong Yan's hand and quickly ran to the entrance of the women's pool, looking like she was going to catch me if you can, which made Tong Yan so angry that he glared at her.

After thinking for a while, Xu Xinduo said to Tong Yan: "Let me talk to her."

Tong Yan had no choice but to compromise and turned around to go back to the room with Wei Lan.

Wei Lan acted like a silly boy the whole time and couldn't accept Liu Yating's change in attitude.

The plot is: I fell in love with my rival?

It smells very tangy.

After Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu went in together, Xu Xinduo felt a little uncomfortable when changing clothes. She always felt that Liu Yating was secretly looking at her, so she simply held the clothes and went into the single room.

After changing into a swimsuit and coming out, Lou Xu was the first to exclaim: "Oh my God, Master Duo, you have such a great figure."

Liu Yating glanced at Xu Xinduo several times quickly.

The swimsuit is a bikini, with dark green as the main color, without any fancy decorations. It covers the front tightly, but reveals most of the back and waist.

Plus, the swimsuit is very slim-fitting, so it definitely shows off the figure.

She has a slender figure, amazing body proportions, smooth body lines, and ups and downs, which are pleasing to the eye.

The three of them went to a small pool. The hot spring was decorated very elegantly, just like a cave. Each small pool had breaks and windows next to it, so you could see the night view directly through the glass.

The three girls were together. After Xu Xinduo had been soaking for a while, she leaned over and whispered to Liu Yating, "Do you know something?"

Liu Yating turned her head to look at Xu Xinduo, snorted and said, "I don't know."

"I also think there's nothing to like about Tong Yan. He's irritable, careless, and inconsiderate."

Liu Yating nodded and said, "Yes, he is a scumbag."

Xu Xinduo continued to sigh as if she felt the same way: "If I knew that the person I like is a schizophrenic, I would also be very angry."

"It's really annoying."

"So which one do you like?"

"It's not him anyway."

"Oh, I finally got it."

"..." Liu Yating was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was being tricked. She immediately glared at Xu Xinduo with gritted teeth.

Liu Yating's mood is very complicated now. She couldn't accept this reality quickly. She realized that the person she likes is a girl, and she couldn't bear it at all.

However, when she saw Xu Xinduo again, Liu Yating still wanted to get closer to her, which was really conflicting.

Liu Yating would still find it weird that her attitude suddenly changed. She could continue to be mean to Xu Xinduo, but she couldn't do that.

She knew what Xu Xinduo meant, and quickly promised: "I won't tell anyone nonsense, otherwise I will be easily silenced. I know how ruthless Tong Yan is."

"Well, I believe you. I have always known that you are a very kind girl."

Liu Yating glared at Xu Xinduo again: "What kindness! They all say I'm a little gangster!"

"Oh, that's amazing."

"Hmph!" Liu Yating soaked in the hot spring angrily and did not refute.

When Xu Xinduo was soaking in the hot spring alone with a towel covering her face, Liu Yating couldn't help but secretly look at Xu Xinduo, and her face turned red as she looked at him.

The hot spring water must be too hot!

Why do girls blush? !

She took a deep breath, then stood up to leave. As a result, her legs became numb from sitting for too long, and her body swayed. Xu Xinduo quickly reached out and supported her.

Liu Yating turned her head and glanced at Xu Xinduo, and suddenly cursed: "Idiot!"

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu watched Liu Yating leave. Lou Xu couldn't help but ask, "Is this person here to pick a fight with you?"

"I guess... not really."

"What an unpredictable little girl."

It was really hard to figure out. Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu went back to their room and were about to go to bed. Liu Yating came again, holding her bag: "Do you want some snacks? I brought a lot."

Xu Xinduo felt a little uncomfortable and answered hesitantly: "It's a bit late, uh... is tomorrow okay?"

"I brought some pastries, but they won't be tasty tomorrow." After saying that, Liu Yating followed them into their room, sat in their room and chatted until late at night before leaving.

Xu Xinduo was lying on the bed reading messages on her phone, and Tong Yan was still complaining: What on earth is Liu Yating going to do?

Tong Yan: You two are both girls, she won’t want to pick you up, right?

Tong Yan: Can we not do this?

Xu Xinduo: You think too much. I think Liu Yating has a crush on me and wants to be friends with me. Her personality is a bit weird.

Tong Yan: What is this?

Xu Xinduo: Let’s be more careful with our words next time.

Tong Yan: Yeah.

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

Tong Yan, Wei Lan, and Su Wei are definitely inseparable, Xu Xinduo and Lou Xu are together, and Liu Yating comes uninvited.

Liu Yating took off her coat and complained: "This place doesn't smell good. The room smells bad."

Xu Xinduo walked over and turned on the ventilation fan, and also turned on the lighting.

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

Lou Xu immediately perked up and ran over to volunteer: "I'll sing for you!"

Tong Yan put down his bag, walked to Liu Yating and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Yating was so disgusted that she whispered, "Don't worry, it's not aimed at you."

After saying that, he turned around and went to find Xu Xinduo and asked, "Duoduo, didn't you say you know how to play billiards? Let's play a game."

Tong Yan gnashed his teeth in anger as he watched Liu Yating blatantly pestering Xu Xinduo.

Tong Yan sat by the fireplace, curled up on the sofa, looking at his phone in his hand.

Over there, Su Wei was watching Liu Yating and Xu Xinduo playing billiards, while Lou Xu and Wei Lan were singing on the other side. He seemed out of place.

After playing a round of billiards, Xu Xinduo gave the cue to Su Wei, walked over to Tong Yan, and sat down.

The selling point of this party venue is this fireplace.

There is a fireplace in the room, which is well maintained and has no smell of smoke at all. There is a circle of sofas around the fireplace and many books.

People who come here can sit around the fireplace and chat, or even play Werewolf. The environment is very comfortable.

There is actually heating in other parts of the room to prevent them from being too cold.

This fireplace is just a setting for the atmosphere.

You can see the flames dancing in the cracks of the stove and hear the crackling of burning wood.

There is also wood next to the stove that can be filled in. This is for city dwellers to experience, but Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan don't care about this kind of stove at all.

Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan and asked, "Why do you always look unhappy?"

"I can't be happy."

"You are just too hot-tempered."

"Is it my fault?"

"Um."

While the two were talking, Wei Lan came over with a cell phone and sat not far away, sending messages on her phone. Lou Xu continued singing seriously.

Yesterday while skiing, Wei Lan met a female junior and they were chatting enthusiastically when she sent him a message.

Wei Lan likes to show off her scumbag voice and likes to reply to messages with voice messages.

After Wei Lan sat down, she sent a voice message: "Trojan horse~Kiss, hey, baby, you are dirty."

Xu Xinduo covered her face after hearing this.

Tong Yan smiled, as he was used to Wei Lan's behavior.

Wei Lan ignored them and continued to talk about her own news.

Tong Yan suddenly came close to Xu Xinduo and whispered, "Come to think of it, I'm dirty too."

"Huh? Wei Lan blew you a kiss?" Xu Xinduo looked at him and asked.

"No, I was kissed."

Xu Xinduo's heart suddenly tightened. Although she thought about giving up, she didn't let go so completely. The moment Xu Xinduo heard this, she felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "By whom?"

Tong Yan leaned towards Xu Xinduo and whispered, "You, you kissed me when you were drunk."

Xu Xinduo didn't react for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Is it true?"

"Well, you still insist on asking me to help you change your clothes. I really am... Well, are you responsible or not?"

Xu Xinduo didn't remember these things at all, and couldn't recall them no matter how hard she tried. Looking at Tong Yan's expression and seeing the sly smile on his face, she suddenly became nervous.

She was so nervous that she suddenly hiccupped. Then she reached out for the bottle of water on the small table not far away, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

Tong Yan watched Xu Xinduo finish drinking before reminding her, "I drank that bottle before."

Xu Xinduo's face turned red instantly. Tong Yan saw it clearly and his mood instantly improved.

Xu Xinduo was so flustered that she explained in a low voice: "I must have drunk too much at the time and was out of control, so... I... didn't mean it."

"Oh, but I am indeed dirty, what should I do, little darling."

"Don't yell!"

"You don't want to be responsible?"

"I'll hit you!"

"Oh, that's fierce."

Just when Xu Xinduo was being teased to the point of being unable to bear it, Liu Yating came over, holding up a pool cue and suddenly inserted herself between the two of them, saying, "Do we need to get so close to each other to chat?"

Liu Yating has practiced fencing and has reached a pretty good level. Now she looks very heroic even when holding a billiard cue and can find her position very accurately.

Xu Xinduo stood up, screwed the bottle cap on, put it aside, and said, "I'll go watch you and Su Wei play billiards."

Liu Yating left with Xu Xinduo in satisfaction. After taking two steps, she turned around and gave Tong Yan a middle finger.

Tong Yan made a "tsk" sound. He had been increasingly displeased with Liu Yating recently.

Xu Xinduo disliked Yin Shaoshu because she thought he was good-looking.

The reason why he disliked Shao Qinghe was because Shao Qinghe always stared at Xu Xinduo with an ambiguous attitude.

However, Liu Yating was arrogant, particularly straightforward and blatant, and Tong Yan was helpless with a little girl like Liu Yating.

Xu Xinduo stood aside and secretly looked at Tong Yan, and found that Tong Yan picked up the bottle of water and took another sip.

Her ears started to burn again.

This feels terrible.

Ever since she knew that she had kissed Tong Yan, Xu Xinduo had been avoiding Tong Yan. She really didn't know how to face Tong Yan.

Now, whenever she felt Tong Yan's gaze or even heard Tong Yan's voice, her cheeks would become hot.

Xu Xinduo really didn't want this to happen, but she couldn't control it at all.

How come I have no memory?

It’s okay to think about what it feels like!

Xu Xinduo didn't say a word to Tong Yan on the way back. They made an appointment to have dinner together, but Xu Xinduo refused, saying that he wanted to go back and rest.

The downside of not having dinner together was that Xu Xinduo was hungry at night, and Lou Xu hadn't come back yet, saying that he had gone to another room to chat.

She ate some snacks in bed alone, but still couldn't fill her stomach. Finally, she got up, put on her clothes, and went to the restaurant to eat.

It was quite late when she arrived and there were not many people in the restaurant. She casually ordered a bowl of noodles, and while eating, she noticed Shao Qing and someone else standing by the fence.

She finished the bowl of noodles and was about to leave when she looked back at Shao Qinghe who was standing by the fence and noticed that something was wrong with Shao Qinghe.

When Xu Xinduo opened the door of the restaurant, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing.

This is the highest point of the ski resort. There is a sightseeing fence outside, but there is not much shelter. The cold wind at night seems to have a hidden knife, blowing directly in your face.

Xu Xinduo couldn't help but shiver and walked towards Shao Qinghe. She saw that Shao Qinghe looked dull and his body was shaking slightly, as if he might fall down at any time.

It is already very scary to be able to stand in such a cold wind for so long, and I am still in this state.

Xu Xinduo reached out and supported Shao Qinghe's arm. Shao Qinghe came back to his senses instantly and looked at Xu Xinduo.

Then Shao Qinghe smiled and said, "Sorry, I was distracted by something."

Xu Xinduo leaned on the railing and looked down: "This place is indeed high, but there is snow below, so you won't die if you fall down."

Shao Qinghe's smile was a little awkward, and he said, "I... should be able to hold on a little longer."

Xu Xinduo felt very cold and didn't want to stay any longer. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Shao Qinghe ask her: "Are you like me, with no feelings for your original family, so you won't have any psychological burden when you leave them?"

Xu Xinduo thought for a while before answering: "I have struggled before, but I was disappointed so many times that I became... tired."

"After my mother exposed me for faking illness, her relationship with my father hit a freezing point again, but she still refused to divorce. She attempted suicide the day before yesterday by cutting her wrists and soaking them in the bathtub. She was found and sent to the hospital, and she was found in time, so her life was saved. But at her age, she has some problems after all this trouble, and she is still in the hospital."

Xu Xinduo looked at Shao Qinghe, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She knew that Shao Qinghe probably just wanted to find someone to talk to, and it just so happened that they both suffered the same fate.

Shao Qinghe sighed and continued, "She probably thought I would compromise and stay with her, but I still chose to come to the winter camp. She started to get hysterical, and she threatened to die again. She said I had no conscience, was an ungrateful person, and had raised me for nothing."

"Does she have a mental illness?" Isn't this abnormal?

"She refused to see a doctor, so when I found one, she scolded me and said that I thought she was mentally ill and she was making a scene."

"Do you want to leave this family?" Xu Xinduo asked in a calm voice.

"Well, my brother has committed suicide. I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer..."

“You leave that family and you have no money.”

"No, I'm more capable than you think. I even have my own shop."

"Have you been preparing to leave for a long time? Have you been preparing for a rainy day?"

"Well, I want to live a normal life, not pretend to be sick. I also want to go skiing, and I want to go to school and go home on time. If I study normally, you may not be able to pass me in the test."

Xu Xinduo suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, although I know you are in a bad mood, I have to hit you. Even if you study normally, if I don't study normally, you may not be able to pass me in the exam."

This sentence successfully made Shao Qinghe laugh.

Xu Xinduo said: "Then go skiing and take your first step."

Shao Qinghe replied aggrievedly: "I can't."

"Ask Mu Qingyi to teach you."

"He's actually a sports idiot."

"ha?!"

"Do you still remember when we went to watch you play tennis? At that time, Mu Qingyi didn't quite believe that you were good at sports, after all, he wasn't good at sports. As a result, after watching you play tennis, Mu Qingyi couldn't calm down for a long time. Logically, you two are twins, so why is there such a big difference?"

Xu Xinduo was also surprised and said, "He doesn't look like that."

"Have you ever seen Mu Qingyi jumping around?"

"No."

"Have you ever seen Mu Qingyi dance?"

"No."

"He can't dance and can't even tell his left foot from his right. He looks skinny because he's picky about food. He doesn't even have any chest or abdominal muscles. His figure is not as good as mine, a half-sickly person."

Xu Xinduo now had only one thought, run quickly, this is a sticky bag!

Then she heard Shao Qinghe calling her, "Sister Duoduo."

"I'm not in good health. I can't stand the cold!"

"Just a moment. You teach me how to put those things on, how to start skating, and how to stop. There will be no coach in the evening."

Xu Xinduo immediately turned around and walked away. He walked to the door, pointed at the door handle and said, "Only ten minutes! Open the door now, this door handle is too cold!"

Shao Qinghe immediately followed with a smile, stretched out his hand to open the door, and said in a gentlemanly voice: "Please."

Xu Xinduo put on the hood of her down jacket, walked out of the hotel, and took Shao Qinghe to the ski resort.

Shao Qinghe didn’t even have skis, so he had to rent ski clothes.

Xu Xinduo looked at him and said, "I advise you to wear an extra layer of socks, or just put on a plastic bag."

Shao Qinghe was very obedient. Since he couldn't find any extra socks at the moment, he went to buy two plastic bags and put them on his feet.

After putting on his clothes, Xu Xinduo began to teach on the spot, telling Shao Qinghe the precautions, and Shao Qinghe listened very carefully.

Afterwards, Shao Qinghe went to try on the snow. Xu Xinduo followed him for a few steps, stood not far from him, and gave him some pointers.

Xu Xinduo wanted to leave, but suddenly turned around and looked at Shao Qinghe and asked, "You often observe people, so do you think Tong Yan likes me?"

Shao Qinghe was very surprised to hear this question and asked, "Do you think I am suitable to be a best friend?"

"I can't be best friends, but I can still chat occasionally."

"Him..." Shao Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "If you show any sign of falling in love with him, he will be yours in the next second. But, do you have a contract?"

It was because of the contract that Xu Xinduo got into trouble.

She lowered her head in anger and thought, and then she heard Shao Qinghe say, "Wait for the storm."

"Um?"

"Look back."

Xu Xinduo turned around and saw Tong Yan standing not far away, with his hands in his coat pockets, his chin buried in his collar, looking at them with a gloomy expression.

That posture really looked like the arrival of the god of death.

Shao Qinghe couldn't help laughing when he saw Tong Yan's expression, and said, "I'm going skiing, you decide for yourself. Do you want him or your career? If you break the contract, it's not just a matter of liquidated damages."

"I know."

If Xu Xinduo breaks the contract just after entering the circle, the impact will not only be the penalty for breach of contract, but also the fact that this circle may find it difficult to accept Xu Xinduo.

Who would be willing to cooperate with a model who has no sense of contract?

If Xu Xinduo was to be with Tong Yan within the contract, she would have to give up this industry directly, and all the training during this period would be wasted.

She knows it all.

Shao Qinghe stopped talking and turned around to continue skiing. His movements were not very skilled and it took him a long time to slide ten meters away.

At this time, Xu Xinduo walked towards Tong Yan. Tong Yan did not say anything, and silently walked out of the ski resort side by side with Xu Xinduo.

When the two of them left side by side, there was only the rustling sound of clothes, but Xu Xinduo gradually began to feel uneasy.

Tong Yan is rarely so silent.

When they reached the corridor rest area with few people, Tong Yan pulled Xu Xinduo aside and let her sit on the sofa. Then he unzipped his coat and squatted in front of her.

He took off Xu Xinduo's shoes, held her feet in his arms, wrapped them in his coat, and angrily raised his head and asked her, "You're not cold anymore, are you?"

"I just taught him how to skate. It only took a while. It's nothing." Xu Xinduo whispered. She was mostly in the house when she helped Shao Qinghe, and the time she spent outside was less than ten minutes.

"There are so many people who can teach him, why doesn't he find someone else, why just the two of you? How come you can still go together so late?"

“We met in the restaurant.”

"I want to take you out to dinner, but you don't want to go, and then go eat with him?"

"I wasn't having dinner with him. I just ran into him. I saw that he wasn't in a good state and looked like he was going to jump to commit suicide, so I went to stop him."

Tong Yan was particularly puzzled and asked, "Is Shao Qinghe terminally ill and has little time left to live and wants to commit suicide?"

"It's his privacy so I can't say anything, but he's quite pitiful."

"Xu Xinduo, I'm also quite pitiful. I'm so miserable because of you!"

After Xu Xinduo thought about it for a while, he said, "Tong Yan, I have a contract."

"I know!"

"Don't embarrass me, okay?"

Tong Yan looked at her in a daze. Was he being rejected?

Tong Yan frowned slightly, but did not let go of Xu Xinduo's feet. He asked persistently, "Can't you just break the contract?"

"It's not as simple as breach of contract. If I breach the contract right after entering the circle, it would prove that I have no sense of contract. In this way, I really can't stay in this circle anymore."

"You haven't officially started yet. Just pay the penalty and it'll be done. There won't be any problems at all. Trust me, okay?"

"Tong Yan, I can't afford the penalty for breach of contract. I don't want to rely on you too much. I want to have my own source of income. I'm angry with my mother because she is completely dependent on my father and has no dignity in life. I feel angry when I look at her. I don't want to be like her."

Tong Yan pursed his lips. He wanted to help Xu Xinduo, but he also didn't want to give up on her.

He finally asked Xu Xinduo seriously: "Then do you... like me?"

"I give up."

"What kind of bullshit is giving up?"

"Tong Yan, I have had a crush on you for many years. I don't know when it started, but it started when I became aware of it. I have been very conflicted over the years. I was afraid that after you found out, you would treat me like you treated Liu Yating, and then we would not even be friends anymore... However, I gave up and signed a contract not to date, but you came to provoke me. Are you here to torture me?"
