Chapter 186 - New Year’s Resolutions: Get Rich and Lose Weight

That day, Song Fengwan’s declaration of wooing Fu Chen was only an indiscreet remark she made while drunk. How could she have known that he would hear her so coincidentally? Her mind was buzzing, and she could hardly think.

Moreover, Fu Chen added, “Do you want to woo me? I’m easy to woo.”

Thunder burst in her head, and lightning exploded in front of her eyes.

“I just drank too much that day and spouted nonsense,” Song Fengwan held her breath.

“I don’t think you looked like you drank too much that day.”

“It’s nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”

“What if I take it seriously?” Under the faint moonlight, Fu Chen’s lips curled up.

“… What do you want? I already said that those words were nonsense.”

“You still remember what happened that night.” Fu Chen’s tone was certain.

“I drank too much. How can my words be taken seriously when I’m drunk?”

“There’s also a saying called speaking the truth after drinking.”

“So what if I said it? If you take it seriously, is it possible that you still want me to cooperate with you?” Song Fengwan had a temper too. At this moment, she was being forced into a corner by him, so she wanted to reach out and scratch his face.

Why is he always forcing me?

What a sick interest.

Fu Chen’s lips curled up. Under the moonlight, his originally cold and ascetic face suddenly became gentler…

But Fu Chen didn’t force her.

The young lady was timid.

He was also worried about what would happen if he forced her too far and she ran away!

He lay down with her and chatted casually for a while. Slowly, the noise outside seemed to die down a little. Upon hearing Song Fengwan’s even breathing, Fu Chen thought she had fallen asleep.

He lifted the blanket, picked up his coat, and walked out.

Song Fengwan wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and didn’t make a sound. Only when she heard the door close did her body relax and she heaved a sigh of relief.

She lay on the bed and thought for a long time until she couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep…

In her daze, she could hear someone open the door. Then the other side of the bed sank in. A pair of slightly cold arms passed over her shoulders and hugged her.

He rubbed the top of her head gently.

Fu Chen had gone out to catch some cold air earlier to dissipate the heat in his heart. His sleepiness had also been blown away completely. Now that he was hugging her, it seemed like…

He couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Although he had teased her, he was the one who suffered in the end.

The revelry in the town lasted all night. Only when it was past five in the morning did the commotion gradually stop…

Fu Chen couldn’t sleep. He even sweated a little. Before she woke up, Fu Chen took a shower, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and grabbed a towel to dry his hair. Around 5:30 a.m., Song Fengwan’s alarm rang on time.

She reached under her pillow to feel for her phone. Fu Chen got up, walked to the bed, picked up her phone, and turned off the alarm.

Song Fengwan was in a daze. She retracted her hand into the blanket and continued sleeping.

Fu Chen didn’t check her phone on purpose either. But when he turned off the alarm, many New Year’s blessings popped up. There were nearly 50 messages. He was about to put down the phone when he suddenly saw a message.

[Happy New Year. I wish that in this new year…] Sender: Fu Yuxiu.

Song Fengwan had saved his full name.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. What’s wrong with this brat? A few days ago, he was still thinking about how to meet Jiang Fengya privately. But now, he’s actually sending a message to harass my Wanwan?

What is their relationship? Why did he even send a message? Is he stupid?

Fu Chen had no idea that this phone had another function called group messaging.

But everyone knew that Fu Chen never liked to be disturbed. Even if someone sent a group message, they would automatically exclude him.

Fu Yuxiu wasn’t stupid either, so he naturally didn’t dare to send Fu Chen any messages. How could he know about the private relationship between the two of them? He naturally didn’t know that Fu Chen would see his message.

On the first day of the new year, Fu Chen made another mental strike against Fu Yuxiu.

Around seven o’clock, Duan Linbai called and asked if the two of them were awake yet and whether they were eating breakfast together. Only then did Fu Chen wake Song Fengwan up.

She sneaked her clothes under the blanket and flopped them around awkwardly.

Fu Chen looked down at his phone and occasionally took a look at her. He couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Song Fengwan briefly washed her face and put on her clothes before the two went downstairs to check out. She didn’t know that Duan Linbai and Huai Sheng were already waiting in the hotel lobby.

“Big Sister.” Huai Sheng walked over and held her hand.

Duan Linbai was holding his phone and looking for light and angles to take a selfie. Before long, he posted his first Weibo post of the new year.

Comments followed…

[Happy New Year, Hubby Duan], followed by countless hearts.

[We’ll continue to love you in the new year.]

[New Year’s resolutions: Get rich, lose weight, Langlang…]

…

Duan Linbai slowly scrolled through the comments and suddenly felt that he was the focus of everyone’s attention.

He scrolled through Weibo casually. Yesterday had been New Year’s Eve, and everyone had been celebrating. Normally, he would definitely have called a few friends out to party until daybreak. But now, great.

He had actually spent his time with a little monk. It would be embarrassing if word got out.

Thus, Duan Linbai was in a bad mood. He had initially been unwilling to post on Weibo because of the commotion he caused by visiting the livestreams of a few female streamers the night before.

Someone on the internet had actually said that he had partied until morning outside with a few internet celebrities last night.

There was even a photo of a large group of people. It was awfully dark, and only a man surrounded by a group of beauties could be vaguely seen. Everyone thought that it was him.

F*ck you.

I’m so fair that I even shine at night. How can this black coal ball be me?

He straight out posted a selfie on Weibo. There was also an address below, indicating that his location was overseas. Naturally, the rumors online would collapse on their own.

These people were really going crazy from thinking about how to become popular. It was the first day of the new year, and they were already trying to gain attention by using him.

“Let’s go.” Fu Chen finished checking out and walked over to Duan Linbai.

Song Fengwan and Huai Sheng walked in the front. Duan Linbai raised a hand to nudge Fu Chen. “Third Fu, how was last night?”

Fu Chen put away his ID card and ignored him.

“Did nothing happen? Judging by Little Sister’s expression, you two didn’t do anything last night, did you?”

Fu Chen lifted his eyelids and looked at him. “What do you think?”

“Would you let go of such a good opportunity so easily? Have you turned good?”

Fu Chen laughed lightly. “We’ll go back and ski later. It seems we haven’t competed in a long time.”

“Let’s go.” Duan Linbai smiled.

…

An hour later, the four of them had eaten and returned to the hotel they were originally staying at. Perhaps because it was the first day of the new year, many tourists had come to this homestay hotel, and the more than ten rooms were instantly full.

Fu Chen and Duan Linbai had already changed into their equipment and entered the snowfield.

This spot was not a regular skiing field. It was commonly known as off-piste skiing.

Duan Linbai tried his best to win against Fu Chen. But just as he got into position, he was kicked on the back and nearly fell into the snow.

“F*ck. Fu Chen, you’re cheating.” Duan Linbai turned around to curse at him, but a certain someone had already raised his ski poles and was swiftly passing by him. He raised a fistful of snow and flung it at his face.

Meanwhile, Yuncheng Airport…

A plane from Nanjiang to Yuncheng arrived.

Holding a cane, an old lady with a head full of silver hair walked out of the cabin slowly with the help of a stewardess.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to push the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose bridge. Yuncheng is damp and cold, not as good as Nanjiang.
