Early in the morning, Tao Zhi put a baseball cap on Gong Cheng.

"The sun is very strong. Don't take off your hat when you report to school today, okay?" Tao Zhi reminded.

The seasons change, everything is gone in a flash.

In the evening, Gong Cheng ran into the house, shook off the snow on his body, and there was mist in his breath.

Tao Zhi came over in slippers and helped him brush the snow off his head.

"Where's the scarf I put on you this morning? Why aren't you wearing it? Your nose is red from the cold."

While Tao Zhi was blaming Gong Cheng, he held Gong Cheng's hands in his palms, blew on them and rubbed them.

"Qiaomu didn't know it was going to snow today, and he was shivering from the cold in class, so I gave his scarf to wear," Gong Cheng explained.

"How was the result of your Oriental Cup match? I remember you mentioned coming out today." Tao Zhi asked.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng lowered his eyes and seemed a little depressed. Seeing his expression, Tao Zhi knew that the result might not be ideal.

"It's okay, it's just a competition. Our small town is so outstanding, it's just one less certificate, it's not a big deal." Tao Zhi coaxed.

Gong Cheng raised his head and showed a smile that he couldn't hold back.

Tao Zhi knew that Gong Cheng was teasing him as soon as he saw him, and he smiled and patted Gong Cheng lightly on the back.

"We won, our group took first place." Gong Cheng said with a smile.

"I knew that our small town is so outstanding, there's no way we wouldn't win." Tao Zhi grinned, his eyes full of pride.

"Lang Bushin and the others have invited us to have hotpot tomorrow to celebrate, and invite Zhang Miaoyu and the others to come along, at the same place as before." Gong Cheng said.

Tao Zhi pushed Gong Cheng to sit on the bench and put the cotton slippers in front of Gong Cheng.

"Change your shoes first."

"Did you say what time it was?" Tao Zhi asked.

"It's around five or six in the afternoon. Is it convenient for you, sir?" Gong Cheng asked while changing his shoes.

“That must be convenient.”

"Now that you've won the grand prize, do you want any gift?" Tao Zhi asked.

Gong Cheng stood up and kissed Tao Zhi on the face with a smile.

"Sir, you are my best gift." said Gong Cheng.

Tao Zhi couldn't help blushing.

"You are an old couple and still say such greasy words. Time is really unforgiving. In the past two years, my Xiaocheng can no longer return to the way she used to be when she would be shy at the slightest provocation." Tao Zhi sighed.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng's brows relaxed and were filled with tenderness.

"But sir is still as cute as before." Gong Cheng smiled.

Tao Zhi's ears turned red and he pushed Gong Cheng away.

"I don't know whose romance novel you read. You talk like a domineering president every day. I guess it was Zhang Miaoyu who taught you bad things. I have to have a good talk with her tomorrow." Tao Zhi curled his lips.

The two entered the hot pot restaurant. Zhang Miaoyu, Zhao Feiyin, and Jin Suwen were already seated and ordering food. When they saw Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng, they smiled and waved.

"Hasn't anyone else come yet?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Qiaomu said he is on the way. Lang Bushin has arrived and just went to the toilet. I don't know if Brother Xu will come. He didn't reply to our message in the group." Zhang Miaoyu said.

Just as Zhang Miaoyu finished speaking, Qiao Mu opened the door curtain and came in, covered in snow, his nose and cheeks were red from the cold, and there were tiny water droplets on his eyelashes.

Zhang Miaoyu took some paper and prepared to help Qiao Mu wipe it, and asked Qiao Mu to sit next to her. Qiao Mu looked at Zhang Miaoyu who was smiling brightly at him, and sat down at the other end with his head down in silence.

Zhang Miaoyu felt inexplicably lost when she saw this. She didn't know what was going on. It seemed that Qiao Mu didn't like her very much in the past two years. Every time everyone made an appointment to go out to play or have dinner, Qiao Mu would deliberately avoid her contact.

I wondered if I had said or done something that made him uncomfortable and caused Qiao Mu to dislike me, but I was too embarrassed to ask.

Lang Bushin came out of the toilet, shook the water off his hands, pulled out a bench and sat next to Qiao Mu.

"The weather is really cold. Taking off my pants to go to the toilet feels like my butt is being pulled by a knife. I'd better eat hotpot to have more fun." Lang Bushin said with a smile.

"We have ordered some basic dishes. Do you want to see if there is anything else you would like to add?" Jin Suwen said as he handed the menu to the others.

"Just take care of it, we can eat anything." Tao Zhi replied.

"Today is different from before. We need to order a little more today." Lang Bushin said.

"What do you mean?" Jin Suwen asked.

"I invited someone to join us today. He is still on the way. He should have a big appetite, so let's order a few more dishes." Lang Bushin said.

These words aroused the curiosity of everyone at the table, and they all turned their eyes to Lang Bushin.

"Who is it? Could it be your girlfriend?" Jin Suwen asked.

"Hehe, you'll know when he gets here." Lang Bushin pretended to be mysterious.

As they were talking, Xu Yanze came in. Jin Suwen saw him out of the corner of her eye, stood up and waved with a smile, and Xu Yanze came over.

Xu Yanze took off his black coat that was covered in snow and casually placed it on the clothes hanger beside him, then pulled out a bench and sat down.

"Sorry, I had some things to deal with at the company, so I came a little late." Xu Yanze's cold voice came.

"It's not late, it's not late. We just ordered the dishes. Brother Xu, do you want to order anything else?" Lang Bushin asked.

"I'm fine with either, you just choose." Xu Yanze said.

The dishes were served on the table one after another. A few people put them into the pot with laughter. The pot was steaming, and as the atmosphere became lively, they began to sweat.

Tao Zhi was taking off his coat, and Gong Cheng helped him take it off very skillfully, then stood up and hung the coat on the rack.

After enjoying the meal, Lang Bushin stood up and walked towards Gong Cheng with a Coke.

"We won the prize in this competition thanks to our Gongcheng University bully who led us through all the difficulties and turned the tide, helping us to stand out among so many awesome teams."

"Here, let's toast to our great treasure of Gongcheng." Lang Bushin said and drank the Coke in one gulp.

Lang Bushin poured himself another cup of Coke and turned to Xu Yanze.

"Also, I want to thank our judge, Brother Xu, for guiding us a lot during the competition. It was like timely help to us. I'll drink first to show my respect."

After saying that, Lang Bushin gulped down the drink and then burped.

"Hahaha, Lang Bushin, what are you doing? You're acting like an adult and toasting me. I'm so stunned." Jin Suwen teased.

"You don't understand. This is called a sense of atmosphere." Lang Bushin said with a smile.

As if he remembered something, Lang Bushin grinned.

"You don't know, we really became famous in this competition. Before, our school was eliminated in the preliminary rounds, but we turned out to be a dark horse and won the championship, blinding everyone."

"Also, we met Cao Xiu during the competition. Oh, you three don't know who Cao Xiu is. Anyway, he is just a cannon fodder who jumps around. I will tell you the details about his plot later."

"When we went on stage to receive the award, that Cao Xiu with a very dark face could just stick a moon on his forehead and play Justice Bao. It made me laugh to death, hahahaha." Lang Bushin said with a hearty laugh.

Everyone was chatting about this and that.

"Hey, Lang Bushin, didn't you call a friend? We have almost finished eating half of the meal, why hasn't he come over yet?" Tao Zhi asked.

"It should be here soon. He got off the plane and took a car from the airport. He then had to go to the hotel to drop off his luggage before coming here. I guess he will be here soon." Lang Bushin said.

"Who is it? Do we know him?" Tao Zhi said with a smile.

"Then he definitely knows me. You would never guess that I will give you a big surprise later." Lang Bushin raised his nose with a proud look on his face.
