After Song Fengwan got into the car, she realized that the person driving today was Fu Chen. Neither Shi Fang nor Qian Jiang followed them.

“Is it just the two of us?” Song Fengwan clutched the seatbelt with her fingers and glanced at Fu Chen.

“Linbai can’t stay idle. I’m afraid that he’ll be lonely, so I got Shi Fang and Qian Jiang to stay behind to accompany him.” Fu Chen’s tone was just as usual, calm and gentle.

“Big Brother Duan’s body is quite weak. He should indeed take a good rest to recuperate.” Song Fengwan somehow felt that she had nothing to talk about with Fu Chen, and the atmosphere was inexplicably slightly awkward.

At this moment, there were three people crowding around a table and playing ‘Fighting the Landlord¹.

Duan Linbai crossed his legs and threw a few cards on the table. “Bomb—I win this time, haha…”

Qian Jiang silently took out the few cards in his hands. “I win.”

Duan Linbai was stunned. “How many times have you won? I’m a patient. Can’t you let me win?”

“Let you win?” Qian Jiang furrowed his brows.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said seriously, “Sure. I’ll let you win the next round.”

Duan Linbai was furious. Where did Third Fu find this stupid subordinate? He’ll anger me to death sooner or later, he thought as he coughed hard twice.

“If you’re sick and coughing, talk less and drink more water.” Qian Jiang considerately handed him a glass of warm water.

He always remembered that before Fu Chen left, he had instructed them to take good care of Duan Linbai.

Duan Linbai exploded with anger. F*ck, I was angered by you!

Sitting at the side, Shi Fang was laughing so hard that he almost passed out. Our Old Jiang is really good at angering people to death.

The ski resort was at the border between Beijing and another province. It was a three-hour drive away. Coupled with the recent bad weather and the slight fog, even on the highway, they still had to control the car’s speed.

Song Fengwan opened a bottle of water and asked Fu Chen as usual, “Third Master, do you want some water?”

“Okay,” Fu Chen replied.

“Then…” Because of the fog, there was an accident ahead. At this moment, there was traffic congestion since vehicles would stop every now and then to maintain a safe distance between one another. Fu Chen controlled the steering wheel with both hands and didn’t let go of it for a moment.

Song Fengwan frowned. “Should I feed you?”

“Okay,” a certain someone replied naturally.

Song Fengwan had never fed anyone water before. She carefully placed the mouth of the bottle on Fu Chen’s mouth and raised the bottle slightly. Her gaze landed on his thin lips, and she was so nervous that her face flushed red.

Her fingers trembled as she tilted the bottle. Water seeped out of the corner of his mouth and soaked his clothes. Song Fengwan hurriedly took out a tissue to help him wipe it. “Third Master, I didn’t do it on purpose!”

At this moment, the vehicles in front stopped. Fu Chen reached out his hand and grabbed her hand that was causing trouble. “Stop touching.”

Song Fengwan’s face turned blood red.

“I’m not touching. I’m just…” Only then did she notice her actions. She was almost lying on top of him. If anyone saw this, they might even think that they were…

She instantly straightened her body and took a few sips of cold water from her water bottle. Only then did she feel refreshed.

“That’s my water.” Fu Chen looked at her helpless expression and laughed softly.

The deep and lazy laugh echoed in the narrow car. It was like a heavy bell, striking Song Fengwan’s heart and making it beat erratically.

The supposed three-hour drive took more than four hours due to the traffic congestion. It was almost one in the afternoon when they arrived at the ski resort.

The ski resort was on relatively high terrain. Looking from afar, the snow on the mountaintop never melted all year round. The pine trees were straight and upright, and the snow made the branches droop. Song Fengwan leaned against the window. It was her first time coming to such a place, and her expression was full of excitement and surprise.

The car drove straight to the ski resort’s hotel.

“Wear your clothes properly before getting out.” Fu Chen parked the car and didn’t forget to remind her.

Song Fengwan wrapped herself in a down jacket and even wore a hat. When she got out of the car, the cold wind blew, and it was so cold that it made her shiver. The hotel was halfway up the mountain, and from here, she could see many people playing on the skiing grounds.

She was very excited at this moment and didn’t care about the cold.

“We’re going to the hotel first. After we eat something, I’ll bring you out.” Fu Chen already got out of the car.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan followed him to the hotel lobby.

She only took a few steps before Fu Chen suddenly reached out his hand and held her. “The road is slippery.”

Song Fengwan nodded silently. She kept feeling that something was odd.

When they reached the hotel lobby, the two of them took their ID cards and checked in.

“Third Master, I’m really sorry. There have been a lot of people here recently, so there’s only one suite left. The other rooms have all been reserved.” The receptionist looked apologetic. “The suite has two bedrooms.”

“Even the single rooms are gone?” Fu Chen furrowed his brows, feeling displeased.

“If you had booked earlier…”

“It’s okay. A suite is fine,” Song Fengwan said directly when she saw the receptionist’s troubled expression. It’s not like we’re sleeping in the same room. When we close the doors, we’ll do our own stuff, so it doesn’t really matter.

After they finished checking in, they took the elevator and went to the room.

After the two of them left, the receptionist heaved a sigh of relief.

“Who is that girl? To let Third Master spend so much effort? There are clearly so many rooms, yet he has to play this trick? If he wanted to stay with her, he might as well have gotten us to say that there’s only one single room left.”

“It’s not up to you to say anything about Third Master’s matters. Watch your mouth and do your work properly.”

The receptionist lowered her head resentfully and looked at the check-in information of the guests.

That girl…

… is actually not an adult yet?

Song Fengwan and Fu Chen took the elevator up and went to the same room. In her heart, she felt that it was a little strange, especially when she saw the many tourists along the way. Fu Chen was extremely good-looking, so he naturally attracted a lot of looks from people.

Song Fengwan bit her lip and gripped the ID card in her hand tightly.

Opening a room with a man and staying together with him, a single man and a single woman… Why do I have the feeling that something’s going to happen?
