[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch82 - An Icy Serious Expression

A week passed by quickly. On the morning of the eighth day of the new year, Song Xuanhe drove up to White Mountain.

Zhou Nan's place was a hot spring villa constructed on the top of a slightly shorter mountain next to White Mountain. There were cable cars that connected the two mountains. Therefore, when Song Xuanhe had arrived at the room that had been prepared for him, he gave his car keys to the butler. He then changed clothes and headed to the cable cars to meet up with his friends.

"Xuanhe gege!" Xiao Ranyun was leaning out of the window of the cliff-side tea pavilion. Her smile was radiant. It looked like she was much happier than she had been the last time they had met. She wore puffy, purple skiing clothes, and her ponytail swayed in the wind as she shouted, "Over here, over here! Xuanhe gege, we're over here!"

Song Xuanhe waved back. Because of the heavy snow, the shuttle bus could not pass through the mountain road. Under a villa employee's guidance, he took another path. It took him ten minutes to reach the top of the twenty-or-so-metre-tall arched cliff. That was also where the tea pavilion and cable cars were located.

"Xuanhe gege, we've been waiting for you!" Xiao Ranyun giggled as she ran over to tug on Song Xuanhe's arm. She dragged him over to the cable cars. "The last time I went skiing was last month. I can't wait to have fun! Hurry up!"

Song Xuanhe laughed in spite of himself. It seemed like not having to participate in Xiao Baicong's coming-of-age banquet had made Xiao Ranyun ecstatic. Although she had always been lively and easy-mannered, she hadn't been cheerful to this degree before.

"Miss, do you have to be this excited?" Zhou Nan was sitting inside the pavilion, playing poker. He placed his cards down when he saw the two of them enter. In a lazy tone, he said, "Don't ask us to tow you while skiing if you end up using up all your energy now."

"Then, I'll play with a sled." Xiao Ranyun's head bobbed as she put on her gloves. She rushed them to move faster. "Hurry up!"

Zhou Nan clicked his tongue, but there was helplessness in his voice. He turned to an employee, who had been waiting for instructions, and said, "Everyone's here."

The employee opened up a cable car. When everyone had entered, he carefully closed the door and indicated for the person in the control room to start it.

Song Xuanhe had driven for a very long time and so early in the morning. So, he rested his tired eyes as soon as he had entered the cable car. Seeing this, Xiao Ranyun lowered her voice as she chatted with Xiao Shenglin. You could tell that she was excited and happy from her tone. Zhou Nan took a sip of wine and laughed. "Are you really that happy about not having to go to Xiao Baicong's birthday party?"

"Of course!" Xiao Ranyun turned around to look at him. "You know, every time I have to go to the Xiao Family's main residence, I end up feeling depressed for a whole month."

Xiao Shenglin corrected her. "Ranran, you can't use 'depressed' like that."

When she had heard this, Xiao Ranyun paid him no mind as she waved a hand. "I end up feeling annoyed and melancholic for a month. Whenever that happens, even my assistant says that I have to take care of myself. Besides, there are already so many rules that I have to follow at home, and yet, there are somehow even more at the main residence. Just staying there is enough to make you feel stifled. I don't want to go there at all."

Xiao Shenglin glanced at her. When he thought about how they were in a cable car right now and thus away from any prying ears, he didn't say anything else.

Not hearing Xiao Shenglin's reply, Xiao Ranyun's eyes curved into a smile. "Gege, you also dislike the main residence. Although you've only gone there once, I remember that you had come back with a fever. Didn't that fever last half a month? It was probably a physical manifestation of your loathing!"
