Chapter 37 Chapter 37

Everyone looked over there.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Xie Tuoxue dyed her hair silver, and wore a black sweater with a shirt underneath, with her sleeves lazily rolled up. When she walked, her tall and straight figure and her long and slender legs were exposed. Her silhouette alone attracted the customers in the cafe to take a peek from time to time.

In just a few seconds, a brave and enthusiastic girl from the cafe ran up to Xie Tuxue and blocked his way.

Their seats were far apart, so they couldn't hear what the girl and Xie Tuxue said. Zhao Xun sighed and said, "Look, what can we do with him here?"

"Who is he?" The blonde girl sitting at the same table stared at Xie Tuxue with shining eyes, without blinking.

Another Asian girl who obviously came with her said excitedly, "Xie Tuxue! He is Xie Tuxue! Bai Wei's prince..."

He didn't say the rest, but glanced at Fiona and Song Lingxi with a wary look.

Song Lingxi/Fiona: "..."

Fiona whispered into Song Lingxi's ear, "It looks like they just arrived too. They were so surprised to see Xie Tuxue."

Song Lingxi: "You don't know him?"

Fiona sighed, "What a mistake. I saw Pattinson organizing a weekend snow mountain climbing trip on the school forum. We've been together before and he's a very nice guy..."

In other words, all of these people were organized by Pattinson, and Fiona didn't know anyone else except him.

Now, even though everyone hasn't gotten to know each other yet, they are already wary of each other because of Xie Tuxue.

Over there, Xie Xue broke away from the disappointed girl and walked towards this side.

As soon as he arrived, the atmosphere became strange.

Several boys looked at the girls named "Haley" and "Taylor" with awkward expressions as they chatted up Xie Douxue, but unfortunately Xie Douxue looked indifferent.

Fiona rolled her eyes, nudged Pattinson beside her, and pointed to her watch, indicating that it was time to board the plane. Pattinson coughed awkwardly, knocked on the table and said, "Everyone is here, we should leave."

Song Lingxi and Fiona stood up first, followed closely by Xie Xuexue and Zhao Xun with their bags, and the rest of the people followed them out in a hurry.

On the plane, Fiona lay down and peeked at Xie Tuxue. After a while, she turned around and said to Song Lingxi, "Why do I feel that he came for you? But he is not as sincere as Xie Yunzhou. How long has he disappeared before showing up? Is he playing hard to get?"

Song Lingxi didn't answer. He covered his eyes with a mask and tilted his head to sleep.

Unfortunately, she couldn't sleep well and had another dream.

This time the dream was the wedding scene of Song Lingxi and Xie Yunzhou. With relatives and friends gathered together and giving their blessings, it looked extremely romantic.

Song Lingxi was startled and woke up, speechless. She actually saw her patriarchal parents and her younger brother Yaozu in her dream. Who could bear this?

Even if you want to lure her with a happy scene, can you do a background check first?

If she is with Xie Yunzhou, it means that everything in her dream will happen in the future. In order to prevent her dream from coming true and prevent Yaozu's family from appearing in her life, she will never agree to Xie Yunzhou's confession in this life!

With this thought in mind, Song Lingxi refused to believe it and began to feel sleepy again.

Good guy, this time the person standing next to her in the dream was finally not Xie Yunzhou, but a young man with a blurred face. She fell in love with the man with a blurred face, and then the man died; she fell in love with the man, got married, had a child... and then the man died.

Song Lingxi woke up again and fell into deep thought. Was the plot trying to tell her that the other person would die as long as he was with her?

...In other words, is she the Black Widow character?

…

As soon as we got off the plane, we looked around and saw a vast expanse of white. Large snowflakes were floating in the sky. Most of the passengers getting off the plane were very surprised, and people kept exclaiming "Wow".

After leaving the airport, Pattinson rented a car and took a group of people to the booked hotel.

It took us about two hours to reach our destination, a resort with a strong local flavor. The guests in the resort were accommodated in log cabins with hot springs outside. Outside the resort was a ski resort and further away were snow-capped mountains.

Song Lingxi and Fiona booked a wooden house. The front desk of the resort was some distance away from their residence. When the boys who were traveling with them saw this, they immediately wanted to come over and show their courtesy, but they were stopped by Zhao Xun the next second, who snatched Fiona's luggage first.

"Two beauties, let me do it."

By the way, he handed Song Lingxi's luggage to Xie Xuexue, who took the luggage with a smile and said, "I'm happy to help."

Now Song Lingxi could confirm that Xie Xuexue was courting him, but his previous attitude was ambiguous. Even now, Song Lingxi didn't know whether he was serious about pursuing her or just playing around.

But no matter whether she is serious or pretending, Song Lingxi has no intention of getting entangled with Xie Tuxue. Who would understand? She has a disease that "whoever she falls in love with will die". What is the difference between this and "whoever she stares at will die"?

For Xie Xue's life, it's better to stay away from him.

Therefore, Song Lingxi intercepted his luggage and said to Xie Xue solemnly, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. I can do it myself."

Xie Tuxue was stunned, and Zhao Xun and Fiona beside her were also stunned, as if they had not expected that someone would reject Xie Tuxue. When they came to their senses, they all looked at Song Lingxi in disbelief.

Song Lingxi restrained himself and resisted the urge to roll his eyes, then walked away with his suitcase.

After a while, Fiona chased after her and looked at her for a long time. She wanted to speak several times and sighed several times. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore and went to Song Lingxi and whispered, "Brother, are you really rejecting Xie Tuxue like this?"

Song Lingxi: “Yeah.”

Fiona's eyes suddenly turned into one of great respect, and she gave him a thumbs up and said, "Boss, your character is unshakable!"

By the time the two of them had finally dragged their luggage into the room, Song Lingxi was already almost exhausted. He ate something in a hurry and planned to go to bed early to end the day's journey.

But others didn't think so. Fiona knocked on Song Lingxi's door and told her that everyone had made an appointment to go to the bar for a drink and asked her if she wanted to join.

Song Lingxi: "...No, I want to rest."

We are going to climb the snow mountain tomorrow, but this group of people actually went to a bar and drank the night before. Suddenly, I am a little worried about tomorrow's trip to the snow mountain.

It turns out that Crow Mouth can't talk nonsense.

The weather was fine the next day, and the nine people who were going to climb the snow mountain gathered early in the morning. They would first take a bus to the foot of the snow mountain, and then climb on foot after arriving at the designated location.

Xie Xuexue did not talk to Song Lingxi again, and did not even look at her. She chatted with Zhao Xun in a random manner.

The other two girls in the team came over and sat down next to Zhao Xun. Soon, they could hear chatting and laughing. They seemed to be having a great time. Even Xie Tuxue, who was standing nearby, had a gentle expression as she listened to the three people's funny chat.

Seeing this, Song Lingxi no longer cared about it. She just wanted Xie Xuexue to stop bothering her.

But what Song Lingxi didn't know was that as soon as she looked away, Xie Douxue's face suddenly turned cold, which scared the two girls who had been secretly watching her. They thought they had said something wrong, and Xie Douxue had already lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

When he got off the bus at the destination, Song Lingxi was shocked by the scenery in front of him. He saw the sky was clear and blue, with clouds rising in it like mist. There was a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, and the snow-capped mountains stood alone, speaking nothing since ancient times.

But she was very curious. Xin Qiji said, "I see the green mountains are so charming, I guess the green mountains see me like this." Now she saw the lonely and silent snow-capped mountains, what did the snow-capped mountains see her like?

The snow mountain would not give Song Lingxi an answer, but Song Lingxi was alone in the snow mountain, just like the moon on the spring river, watching generation after generation of tiny and ignorant human beings come here and leave.

I have been here after all, and the snow mountain knows.

Song Lingxi suddenly became enlightened. Her heart was extremely peaceful and calm at this moment. This white field had the magical effect of purifying people's hearts.

"Everyone, wear goggles," the local guide hired by Pattinson reminded them, and began to briefly explain to them the dangers and safety issues of climbing snow-capped mountains. Song Lingxi had already learned about it systematically before coming, but he still listened carefully.

Anything related to extreme sports is inherently dangerous. When people pursue adrenal stimulation and the desire to conquer, they must always be prepared for backlash.

For Song Lingxi, standing on the boundary between life and death, overlooking fate, perhaps he can also mock X who controls fate.

This is her purpose of climbing the snow mountain. To put it in plain words, it is to seek death and test the plot.

As for the others, some are purely looking for excitement while others are obsessed with climbing to the top. Like Fiona, her family background means she doesn't have to struggle for survival like most people. People who are born with everything and have no direction to strive for will feel empty from time to time, so they naturally want to explore outside for everything that stimulates the body and senses.

Regardless of everyone's purpose, they got along quite harmoniously along the way. Song Lingxi and several other girls were arranged in the middle position, with a guide at the front and back of the team, the former leading the way and the latter ensuring that the people behind did not fall behind.

After five hours of hiking, Song Lingxi was about to run out of energy. The sky suddenly became gloomy. The guide said a snowstorm was coming and there was a gentle slope ahead where they could take a break. He asked everyone to hold on to the ropes and not fall behind.

Half an hour later, the blizzard was raging and we had not yet reached the gentle slope. The road beneath our feet had become soft due to the blizzard. The guide asked everyone to hold on, as stopping now would likely cause hypothermia.

But accidents always come unexpectedly, and there was an avalanche.

When the avalanche hit, Song Lingxi was caught off guard. She felt someone behind her pull her hand and run away. At the last second before being hit by the snow, the person protected her head. Before she fainted, she remembered that Zhao Xun and Xie Tuxue had been walking behind her and Fiona...

When she woke up again, Song Lingxi found that she was wearing an oxygen device on her face. She took off the oxygen bottle and looked around. At this moment, a deep voice sounded beside her: "Are you awake?"

Song Lingxi was startled, "Xie Xue?"

"Yeah." Xie Xuexue responded.

"Where are we?" Song Lingxi remembered that it was Xie Daoxue who protected her during the avalanche. She felt subtle psychological fluctuations when facing him for the first time. She was not very moved, but mostly inexplicable. A small part of her emotion was guilt and remorse for her "unattitude".

"Are you not hurt?"

The dim light shining on Xie Douxue's face made her look strange. Xie Douxue laughed out loud, "It's so rare that you can care about others. I thought you spent your whole life focusing on your studies and experiments, and rejected all the advances from men."

"Yes, I am." Song Lingxi felt a little guilty, so he decided to be honest with his savior.

Xie Xuexue seemed to be choked and stopped talking.

Song Lingxi took out a flashlight from his backpack, shone it around and found that they were in an ice crack that was more than ten meters deep. He didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.

"What should we do now? How can we save ourselves?" Song Lingxi was a little distressed. The wind and snow outside had stopped, but it was pitch black all around. It was very difficult to climb out of the ice cracks that were more than ten meters wide, unless someone dropped a rope from outside to pull them up.

Xie Xue was strangely silent, sitting on the ice, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Song Lingxi thought he was in a bad mood, so he took out the thermos and food from his backpack and started eating.

"Would you like to eat something?" Song Lingxi asked, waving the bread in his hand.

Xie Xue stared at Song Lingxi with a strange look, as if she was looking at an unsolvable math problem, "Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

Song Lingxi was really not afraid. The dangerous avalanche just now did not kill her, which clearly showed that the plot did not want her to die. In other words, her purpose of climbing the snow mountain was largely achieved.

As for whether the two of them will be trapped and die in this ice crack?

Most likely not.

Just kidding. As the heir of a business tycoon, how could Xie Tuxue climb a snowy mountain without anyone on standby? On the way here, she saw security cars around more than once, and several black-clad bodyguards appeared from time to time in the resort. She even saw a helicopter when she got off the bus...

"I'm not that scared." Song Lingxi finally said modestly.

“Hahahahaha…” Xie Xuexue seemed to have heard a very funny joke and couldn’t stop laughing.

Song Lingxi frowned, and keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Xie Tuxue's condition. In fact, it can't be said that she just discovered it now, because she felt that Xie Tuxue was a little "crazy" last time.

He seduced her, tested her, and instigated a relationship between her and Fiona the first time they met; today, when they met for the second time, he even risked his life to protect her.

Is this something a normal person can do?

I don't know when Xie Xue stopped laughing. He just looked at Song Lingxi who was distracted. When Song Lingxi came to his senses, he asked, "Song Lingxi, why did you come to climb the snow mountain?"

Song Lingxi had decided not to lie to his savior, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he lied to him and said, "This is a secret. What about you? Why did you come?"

"I want to know how close the distance between life and death is," Xie Xuexue said vaguely, but Song Lingxi suddenly raised her head. Perhaps because she herself had wanted to die, she was very sensitive to such words. But before she could say anything, Xie Xuexue continued, "... and you are here."

Perhaps it was because of the dim light, Song Lingxi actually heard a sudden tenderness and resignation in his words.

Song Lingxi: “…”

It's so strange that even someone as smart as Song Lingxi was a little unsure about Xie Tuxue for a moment.

He seems to like himself very much, his actions and words all show that he likes me, but is it really possible for someone to fall in love with someone so easily after just meeting them twice?

But it seems that she doesn't like him. Just like Fiona said, it has been several months since they last met, and Xie Tuoxue has not appeared in front of her once.

Sometimes close, sometimes far away, it's extremely contradictory.

Song Lingxi sighed, feeling that he had gotten himself into big trouble.
