President, please comfort me.

With a crisp "smack," a large red mark immediately appeared on the back of the girl's hand.

The girl knew she was in the wrong, but she was unwilling to suffer a loss. She was frantically thinking about revenge, so she asked with a calculating look, "Do you dare to go in and have a match? If you lose, you have to apologize to us."

Lanling wasn't afraid at all, and Wen Qi answered first, "What if we win?"

"If you win, I'll apologize to you." The girl answered readily, but in her heart she was thinking that she had come to have a snowball fight many times and had never lost. This time she was going to teach them a lesson.

Wen Qi replied without any fear: "Sure."

"You wait here, I have a few more friends, I'll go and call them over."

Lanling was even more arrogant: "Then hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

A few minutes later, the girl indeed called over three more burly boys, looking at them with an air of "you're just waiting to lose": "There are six of us."

After all, she had promised to compete. Lanling felt that she was not very familiar with Xiao and the others, so she did not dare to have high hopes for them. She was about to pull her three best friends to accept the challenge.

Xiao He spoke in a cold, hard voice, carrying immense pressure: "Of the nine of us, three will remain."

Tang Chao was the first to speak up: "I'll go."

Tang Yue looked excited like a silly child: "Me too! Me too!"

In the end, Chen Nuo, Ye Lin, and A Chen stayed behind, while the rest of the team went to fight.

More and more tourists gathered to watch, creating a lively scene.

Wen Qixiao, Yang Xulanling, and Tang Chaotangyue formed pairs and immediately showed their best form at the start of the competition.

The boys are all very reliable. They can not only throw snowballs, but also have the energy to create snowballs, allowing Winnie and her friends to avoid being attacked by the other side's snowballs.

Wen Qi and Lan Ling were like a production line, constantly throwing snowballs at the three girls opposite them, while Tang Yue, as if having fun, calmly caught one and threw it at them.

The opponents were clearly not as coordinated as they were; they were scattered and their stamina was dwindling. Not long after the start, they were already struggling to keep up.

Chen Nuo watched them nervously from the side. Seeing that they couldn't beat Lanling and the others, and seeing Chen Nuo standing there unarmed, the girls turned their anger on her.

He grabbed a snowball and threw it in her direction—quick, accurate, and ruthless!

Chen Nuo didn't notice at all. Fortunately, Ye Lin had been by her side the whole time. When he saw it, he didn't care about anything else. He quickly reached out one hand to grab her supple waist and the other hand to protect the back of her head, and pulled her to the side.

Her hair, like a waterfall, gently brushed against his cheeks and fell onto his shoulders.

It wasn't until Chen Nuo had regained her footing that she noticed a large snowball that had flashed by in the spot where she had just been standing.

She was extremely nervous the moment she was picked up, and her voice still trembled slightly as she landed: "That was close."

Ye Lin gently brushed the ends of her hair, his gaze focused, yet tinged with lingering fear, but his voice was unusually gentle: "It's alright now."

"Ah."

Ye Lin coaxed, "I'll teach her a lesson for you later."

Chen Nuo looked up at him, a bright smile appearing in her eyes: "No need. By the way, I said I'd treat you to dinner last time, but I haven't done it yet. Are you free tomorrow at noon?"

This was the first time Ye Lin had ever seen her smile at him in all this time. Instantly, he felt as if the ice and snow around him had melted away, and everything was coming back to life. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Lin smiled and said, "You're treating me to dinner, of course I have time."

Chen Nuo was slow to warm up to people, and after learning that he wanted to pursue her, she was even more at a loss as to how to deal with his flirtatious behavior.

He awkwardly stepped back and looked away, saying, "Then I'll send you the restaurant location tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Lanling and Wenqi didn't intend to stop until they begged for mercy. Besides, they had both seen Chen Nuo being thrown earlier. In the end, the girl who had said she wanted to compete was made to cry by Lanling's throwing.

Lanling gradually approached, looking down at her: "Pretty stubborn, huh? You even dare to throw people out of the game?"

"Apologize to us!"

Forced by circumstances, the girl tearfully and reluctantly apologized to her, and the competition officially ended.

Many onlookers pointed and whispered at her, saying, "If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. She deserves it!"

"That's right! If you're going to get hit, stand up straight; if you're wrong, admit it!"

"They've met their match this time."

Yang Xu, Wen Qi, and Lan Ling walked up to Chen Nuo, their faces full of concern: "Did you get hurt just now?"

Chen Nuo glanced at Ye Lin, her ears turning slightly red: "No, Ye Lin helped me dodge."

"That's good, sister has avenged you."

Chen Nuo's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Yeah, are you happy now?"

Lanling was happy but also a little regretful: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I was planning to build a snowman, but forget it, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Tang Chao stood quietly to the side, having listened to her incessant chatter the whole way without finding it noisy, and couldn't help but glance at her this time.

If last night she gave him the impression of being fair-skinned, beautiful, lively, and adorable, then now she is also described as mischievous, straightforward, bold, and righteous.

Wen Qi glanced at the time: "It's already four o'clock. How about we go to some famous photo spots and take some pictures?"

Tang Yue had a great time today and felt the trip was worthwhile: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister-in-law... Xiao Qi, hehe."

Xiao He listened to the words she almost blurted out, a smile playing on his lips. He was quite pleased and secretly thought that sooner or later he would make her shout it out openly.

Lanling and Chen Nuo said in unison, "No problem, let's go."

The group took photos in twos and threes at various photo spots, and finally took a group photo. Ye Lin stood next to Chen Nuo with satisfaction.

At five o'clock, the group prepared to head back home, and Ye Lin warmly invited everyone to have dinner at Yijinyuan.

After spending time together a few times, everyone became less reserved. Without saying much, they got in the car and drove towards Yijinyuan.

Ye Lin called his assistant again.

Inside the private room, after a day of fun, the girls were quite hungry. Ye Lin instructed the kitchen to prepare a variety of dishes, and laughter mingled with the delicious food, creating a pleasant atmosphere around the table.

The meal lasted a full two hours, and it was almost nine o'clock when we left the restaurant.

Lanling looked at Chen Nuo, Wen Qi, and Xiao He who was always next to Wen Qi: "You guys go home and sleep. A Xu and I will go back together."

"Anyway, we're not going back to Xiamen right away." She blinked, leaned closer to Wen Qi and Chen Nuo, and continued speaking in a lower voice.

"it is good."

"Ah."

Yang Xulanling and Wen Qi looked at Chen Nuo and asked, "Xiao Nuo, shall we take you back first? Should we go back to West Lake Garden or Xiangjiang Pearl today?"

From the moment Ye Lin invited them to dinner, he had already been planning how to find an opportunity to be alone with Chen Nuo tonight. Upon hearing this, he immediately seized the opportunity: "I'll take her home; it's on my way."

Whether it was on Ye Lin's way or not, no one knew, not even Ye Lin himself. But Xiao He still helped his brother in this crucial moment: "Then you take him, we'll head back first."

He has a strong presence, and no one can refuse what he says.

Lanling and Yang Xu both fell silent.

Tang Chao had already known about Ye Lin's little tricks. He smiled slightly and glanced at Ye Lin and Chen Nuo.

Wen Qi was inexplicably amused and gave Chen Nuo a mischievous smile, as if asking for her opinion.
