Pei Xi received Jiang Cheng's message in the evening.
After she finished showering, she snuggled in bed scrolling through her phone when a message from Jiang Cheng suddenly popped up: "My phone is fixed."
"Did you take the medicine I gave you?" Pei Xi typed.
Jiang Cheng quickly replied, "I ate it."
Pei Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the medicine has been taken, Zhu Yuan's message must have been conveyed as well.
Pei Xi suddenly felt like teasing him and asked, "Did you need something?"
The message was sent, and the other party typed for a long time, but no pop-up message appeared.
Pei Xi's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. The thought of Jiang Cheng holding his phone and looking conflicted on the other end of the line made her inexplicably amused.
After waiting a while, Jiang Cheng's message finally came through.
"What I said this morning at my doorstep was not what I meant."
Pei Xi's smile deepened. She already knew, and he still had to explain again. Why did he seem so honest and simple?
Her eyes darted around, and she deliberately asked, "So what was your real intention?"
After sending it, she stared straight at the screen.
The message "The other party is typing" keeps showing up, but there has been no reply for a long time.
This time, Jiang Cheng paused for an even longer period.
Just as Pei Xi was about to switch to another channel, Jiang Cheng's message suddenly arrived.
“I was being sarcastic,” he said.
Pei Xi paused, trying to recall what he had said that morning.
You can leave now.
Don't worry.
Don't worry about me.
Conversely...
Pei Xi coughed lightly, a warm sensation rising near his ear.
She shrank deeper into the blankets, and suddenly felt as if she were the one who had become speechless.
No, no, no, that's not right.
Pei Xi thought for a moment and then replied, "Then take good care of yourself. If you get sick again, I won't bring you medicine."
Jiang Cheng fell silent again.
After waiting for two seconds, Pei Xi finally couldn't bear it and added with a smile, "Because my mother is taking me and Pei Zhi out to play in a few days, I won't be in Yu City. I won't be back until after the New Year. I won't be able to take care of you during that time."
Jiang Cheng replied quickly this time, with just one word: "Okay".
Pei Xi suddenly smiled, and for some reason felt that he was like a well-behaved and obedient student.
The word "well-behaved" doesn't fit Jiang Cheng's image at all.
A few days later, as the year drew to a close, Pei Ruoyun finally flew back from Europe.
The place she planned to take Pei Xi and Pei Zhi to was a ski resort.
It was Pei Zhi who suggested skiing. He had recently watched a lot of videos online and suddenly became fascinated with the sport, itching to try it out.
Pei Xi had no objections, so the group decided to go skiing.
The resort owner had some connections with Pei Ruoyun, so he reserved the best hotel rooms for them and said he would make time for their best one-on-one private coach.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xi only learned the day before departure that Lu Langxuan and his mother Jiang Rong would also be going with them.
It is said that Lu's father will not be home for the Chinese New Year this year, as he is on a business trip in Italy and will not be able to return. Therefore, Jiang Rong will bring Lu Langxuan and Pei Ruoyun together to celebrate the New Year.
So on the day of departure, the group of three became a group of five.
After an hour and a half flight, the group finally landed. The owner specially sent someone to pick them up and take them directly to the resort's hotel.
The hotel is very large, and there are outdoor hot springs outside the rooms, with wisps of steam rising from the snowy landscape.
After packing their luggage, the group went to the rooftop restaurant for dinner.
The restaurant is very tall and faces the ski resort directly. You can see that the ski resort is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Through the glass, you can overlook the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which are covered in silver and are breathtakingly beautiful.
"Are you going to skate on skis or snowboards later?" Lu Langxuan asked Pei Zhi and Pei Xi while eating.
“Double skis.” Pei Xi smiled. “I think double skis are simpler.”
Where is Pei Zhi?
“Of course it’s snowboarding.” Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. “No two-boards are as cool as snowboarding.”
Pei Xi chuckled at his smug look, "Be careful not to fall."
Pei Zhi clicked his tongue. "Can't you wish me well for once?"
Lu Langxuan said gently from the side, "When we set off later, just put the little turtles on your buttocks and knees."
Pei Zhi shook his head. "No need."
How silly of a little turtle! It ruins his dashing and heroic image.
Pei Xi shook his head helplessly, feeling that his inexplicably confident demeanor might lead to some trouble.
After finishing their meal, the group went to the ski resort.
Pei Ruoyun and Jiang Rong said that they were getting old and their bodies couldn't withstand falls, so they were more suited to health-preserving activities like soaking in hot springs.
So only three young people went to the ski resort.
The snow at the ski resort is of excellent quality; it's soft and fluffy underfoot, perfect for skiing.
After getting ready, the group took a cable car, enjoying the scenery as they reached the top of the hill.
Pei Xi happily took a selfie and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
She never edits her photos; she just takes pictures and posts them directly to her WeChat Moments. Soon after posting, she receives several likes.
Pei Xi opened the message notifications and found that the first message he liked was from Shen Miaoyi.
Then there's He Zan, Shi Chen, and Sun Yufei.
Sun Yufei's WeChat account was the one that Shen Miaoyi had previously given to her.
The cable car had reached the highest point. Pei Xi politely replied to two comments, then turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.
Jiang Cheng saw this post on WeChat Moments five minutes later.
He rarely checks his WeChat Moments, but he accidentally saw a cat avatar with red dots on it, so he immediately clicked on it.
