Chapter Seventy-Two: Soaking in Hot Springs.

The landlord must win or lose and can't cash it out, Xia Qihao uses chess pieces as bargaining chips, and whoever loses will go out and run.

At first, Ding Ning won two games under the guidance of Xia Qimo, and she slowly knew the rules, and later she became more and more comfortable with the fight.

She was a little smug.

Xia Qimo seemed to be very satisfied with the student he taught, so satisfied that he devoted all his body and mind to Ding Ning, and he also sat behind her and taught him hand in hand.

When she was asked to play a card, his fingers would go over to help her hold the card, and when he gave her an idea, he would whisper in her ear.

Ding Ning didn't feel anything at first, but in the end she felt that something was wrong.

She liked Xia Qimo before, if she continues like this, what if her girlish heart is teased again?

She looked at him, and he was looking at her, his star-like eyes hidden a deep magic, because of the distance, Ding Ning could even see the shadows drawn on his eyes when his long eyelashes drooped.

Her heart began to pound, Xia Qimo, this damn Yan, can you stay away from her, she doesn't want to be the object of her mother's disgust and the hurt in her mother's heart!

"I'll do it myself. Ding Ning put away the cards in his hand and applied to Xia Qimo.

She didn't want Xia Qimo to sit next to her anymore, and if she sat down any longer, her life would be over.

"Okay. Xia Qimo got up and went to pour tea.

Ding Ning hurriedly drew the hole cards.

Xia Qihao: "What cards do you want to be the master?"

"Turn over the serfs and local masters. Ding Ning replied seriously, Xia Qimo left, she felt that her heart had finally been liberated, of course, she wanted to be a landlord.

This one, Ding Ning played very arrogantly, and the price of arrogance was that she was blown up a few times by Xia Qihao and He Shumin.

She lost all her chips.

"Haha, you're going out for a run!" Xia Qihao laughed, very happy.

Ding Ning didn't care, just run, she just felt that it was too hot in this house.

So, she got up and walked out.

Xia Qihao stopped her, "No, you still have to take my brother out for a run." ”

Ding Ning glanced at Xia Qimo, at this time, she didn't want Xia Qimo to be punished with her at all, "Forget it, this didn't teach me to beat him." ”

"Forget it, Ding Ning, are you afraid that my brother will go out and get cold, and feel sorry for him?"

"Why should I feel sorry for him?"

"You like my brother!"

What the?

Ding Ning glanced at Xia Qihao, and said slightly angrily, "If you let me go out to run, if not, I will go back to my room and sleep." ”

"Of course you have to run. Xia Qihao pointed at Xia Qimo, "None of you can play tricks." ”

"Okay, I'm willing to gamble and lose. Xia Qimo put down the teacup and walked out of the room first.

Ding Ning followed.

Xia Qihao and He Shumin watched the play, and they were not afraid of the high stage, so they put on their coats and followed.

When the four of them arrived at the door of the hotel, Xia Qihao pointed to an old locust tree under the snow in the distance, "You have to run there and come back." ”

Ding Ning hugged herself with both hands, her teeth were chattering with cold, she looked at the old locust tree, and it should be more than five hundred meters away from here.

One trip and one thousand meters, don't you want to be so ruthless!

"Let's go!" Xia Qimo sniffed and ran out first.

Ding Ning: "...... I'll go, she's still wearing slippers."

Ding Ning's shoes got wet when they fell into the gutter in the afternoon, and now they are baking on her cousin-in-law's stove, so she is wearing cotton slippers from the hotel.

Now that he saw Xia Qimo running, Ding Ning knew that he was wearing this ghost thing on his feet, how could he run?

She looked back at He Shumin, who was still wearing her ten-centimeter high-heeled boots when she came out.

Changing her shoes to run, she may have gnawed on the snow without taking a step.

Forget it, run.

Ding Ning ran with his slippers.

She couldn't run less than 100 meters, and she couldn't run.

The slippers are so terrible to run, they don't hold their feet at all, and it takes twelve points of strength to stop them.

She paused to catch her breath.

Seeing her stop, Xia Qimo turned around and walked to her side, then looked at her slippers.

"Where's your shoes?" he asked.

"It's wet. ”

"Oh, you went out in the afternoon and fell into the gutter and got your shoes wet. ”

Ding Ning glanced at him, indignant. She felt like he was laughing at her.

Xia Qimo really smiled, he clenched his fist to his lips and smiled happily, "I really want to know how you fell into the ditch." He said.

Ding Ning wanted to scold and curse Xia Qimo's mother, but thinking of Yu Shiqin's face of despising her, she couldn't help it.

People are rich people, and even if they curse, they will be said to be unworthy by the other party.

She was indignant for a while, bumped into Xia Qimo and continued to run forward.

This time, she ran a little fiercely, and one slipper disobeyed and flew up from her foot.

She stepped into the snow in her socks.

Xia Qimo hurriedly went over to support her.

Both of them looked at the runaway shoe at the same time.

"You seem to be having a hard time. Xia Qimo said.

Ding Ning: Isn't that obvious?

Xia Qimo looked back in the direction of the hotel, and Xia Qihao shouted behind him, "Run, run, it's not okay to take a walk." ”

"I'll carry you. Xia Qimo walked up to Ding Ning and squatted down slightly.

Ding Ning fought fiercely in his heart, whether he wanted him to carry it, he was the light of the Xia family, the future husband of the daughter of the imperial capital, climbed on his back and was seen, would it be said that she, the daughter of the Ding family, did it on purpose?

However, after thinking about it, she thought again, what is hypocrisy? It was he who took the initiative to carry her, and the person who proposed to play cards was Xia Qihao, and the person who said that he would be punished together was Xia Qimo, and it had nothing to do with her.

Thinking like this, Ding Ning jumped onto his back.

After his feet off the ground and Xia Qimo carried him, Ding Ning instantly became proud, and thought to himself, Aunt Yu, Aunt Yu, if you see your son carrying a "poor girl" in the ice and snow, how do you feel in your heart!

Is he still the light of your Xia family?

"Hold it tight!" Xia Qimo reminded and sent her up.

Ding Ning knew that he was about to run away, so he quickly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around his neck, and then buried his face in his back.

Xia Qimo really ran, how fast she ran Ding Ning didn't know, she only knew that the cold north wind was blowing in her ears.

Damn, this game is really exciting.

Ding Ning chuckled.

He Shumin, who was standing at the door of the hotel, asked Xia Qihao, "Who did you say won the landlord fight in the end, how do I feel like Ding Ning won, your brother ran away with her on his back in the cold wind, and we stood for her as an audience in the cold wind, she was like a little princess!"

Xia Qihao smiled, "She was originally a little princess." ”

He Shumin looked at him, puzzled.

Xia Qihao asked, "Do you know why my brother came back this time?"

"Isn't it for the sake of cultivating the ancestral hall?"

"The cultivation of the ancestral hall is one of them, and the other is to coax the little princess Ding Ning, my brother seems to have made the little princess Ding Ning angry. ”

"Why is she angry?"

"I don't know, anyway, she blocked all my brother's contact information. ”

He Shumin thought for a while and asked, "Is it that your brother's girlfriend doesn't like Ding Ning and asked her to block it." ”

"My brother's girlfriend, who did you listen to?"

"Ding Ning said, she said that your brother has a girlfriend, and you have countless girlfriends. ”

"What?" Xia Qihao crossed his waist, "She said that I have countless girlfriends? This Ding Ning actually ruined my reputation outside, I am a super idol in the future." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the direction where Ding Ning was, and said angrily, "Wait a minute, I must educate her well, and see if she is still ruining my reputation outside." ”

He Shumin hurriedly stopped, "Oh, don't ask, Ding Ning will say that I am too talkative at that time." Otherwise, I'll take you to Huangxian Cave to play another day, don't be angry!"

......

Here, Xia Qimo bypassed the big locust tree and carried Ding Ning back, and the two went to the place where Ding Ning dropped his slippers.

He put her down and picked up slippers for her to wear.

Ding Ning thought he was tired, but he didn't expect him to say, "Remember to wear underwear next time you go out." ”

Ding Ning: "......"

She clasped her hands over her chest.

I didn't expect Xia Qimo to have the next sentence.

"But don't wear it too often, it will affect development. ”

"Xia Qimo!" Ding Ning clenched his fists and was about to slam Xia Qimo's body.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand was raised, his wrist was grabbed.

Ding Ning was angry, raised his other hand again, and was caught by the other party as soon as he slammed it.

"Xia Qimo!" she gritted her teeth and fought with him, but unfortunately the disparity in strength was too great, she couldn't fight him at all, and she writhed around as if she was dancing.

"Xia Qimo!" she called out to him again.

Xia Qimo finally spoke, "Don't be big or small all day long, is Xia Qimo your name?"

"I can't scream?"

"Of course, only my wife can be called that in this world, are you my wife?"

Ding Ning: "......" He also took advantage of her verbally.

"I'm going to fight you, I'm going to fight you today!" she sweared.

Xia Qimo was very disdainful, "With your small body, who can you do?"

"Still look down on me?"

"Of course I look down, you don't have any shoes. ”

"your shoes. Ding Ning kicked off the slippers under his feet and wrestled with Xia Qimo in socks.

said that it was a scuffle, but it was better to say that Ding Ning wanted to use his brute force to push Xia Qimo down.

As a result, Xia Qimo naturally did not move, and she was pushed backwards by her own power.

Xia Qimo was still worried that Ding Ning's feet would be frostbitten after all, and finally he took the initiative to surrender.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, beware of frostbitten feet. ”

"No, unless you let me hit it. ”

"Where do you want to hit me?" Xia Qimo asked with a smile while holding Ding Ning's hand.

"I'm going to knock you down. ”

Xia Qimo looked at the snow on the ground, lifted Ding Ning up with his hand, and then let her feet step on the upper of his shoes.

Ding Ning didn't do it and stood back again.

Xia Qimo smiled again, "I've never seen a girl as stupid as you, fighting with someone and self-harming first, your feet are not cold?"

Ding Ning thought about it, Xia Qimo was right, she was going to fight with him, and he was naturally unlucky.

She hurriedly jumped onto Xia Qimo's upper and grabbed his sweater with both hands.

"Let's go back like this?" Xia Qimo's hand also slid down and hugged Ding Ning's waist.

"Pick up my slippers. Ding Ning ordered.

Xia Qimo tilted his head, "If I don't, it's you who doesn't have shoes." ”

Ding Ning's eyes widened angrily.

"Shall we talk about a condition?" Xia Qimo said again, his eyes lowered and looked at Ding Ning in his arms.

He liked to look at her like this, his palm-sized little face was close at hand, and his big misty eyes stared at him indignantly, like an aggrieved kitten, especially the pink moisturized lip flap that always provoked possessiveness.

He kind of wanted to kiss her.

He also knew that not now.

Obviously everything was fine, but suddenly she turned him away again, and without figuring out the situation, he couldn't be too freewheeling.

So, it is necessary to take a detour and establish a good relationship again.

Xia Qimo didn't wait for Ding Ning to answer and said the conditions first, "You tell me why you want to block me, I will carry you back, and I can also borrow a coat for you to wear." ”

"No, I can walk back on my own, clothes...... I have a big red jacket. ”

"Tomorrow, relatives will also wear big red jackets?"

Ding Ning thought about the eyes of the seven aunts and eight aunts looking at her, they would definitely think that this child was too naughty, so he fell into the ditch after only one day.

Thinking about her mother, she is also a good-looking person, between staying cold in front of the second son of the Xia family and her daughter being a naughty troublemaker, she should choose not to let people know that she is a troublemaker.

"You...... What clothes do you have for me to wear?" Ding Ning's tone softened significantly.

Xia Qimo pretended to think about it, "There is a short down jacket that is just right for you to wear." ”

"Nothing else?"

"You can't wear pants. ”

"I have pants, who wants your pants!"

"Socks can give you two pairs. ”

"I have socks. "Is this Xia Qimo intentional?

Xia Qimo looked at Ding Ning's little feet, "You want a pair of shoes?"

"No one said they wanted shoes," Ding Ning stood down from Xia Qimo's upper, the snow on the soles of her feet had melted, and now her feet were freezing and aching, she wanted to go back quickly, "You carry me." She demanded.

Xia Qimo picked her up again and began to walk in the direction of the hotel.

"You haven't told me why you blocked me?" Xia Qimo asked.

Ding Ning replied truthfully, "It's not that I'm going to block you." ”

"Who's that?"

"My mom. ”

"Aunt Song, your mother doesn't like me?" Xia Qimo was very surprised, he hadn't seen Ding Ning's mother since he grew up, how could Ding Ning's mother hate him.

Ding Ning explained, "It's not that my mother doesn't like it, my mother just asked me to ignore you." ”

"Why?"

Why? Of course, because of your great mother, but this Ding Ning can't say that.

She began to play her own strengths again, nonsense.

"Because my mother said that you and your brother are too good-looking, and I am just a student who has to focus on my studies at the moment, so it is inconvenient to get too close to you, so as not to affect my studies. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it. ”

Xia Qimo stopped and looked back at Ding Ning behind him, he didn't believe in this reason, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

"Is your mother afraid you'll fall in love?" he asked again.

"No, it's not that I'm afraid of falling in love, it's that I'm afraid of falling in love with someone who can't be done. ”

"With whom is it impossible?"

"With you and Xia Qihao. ”

"Why can't it be?"

"I said, if you and your brother are too good-looking, my mother said that there will be many women who are too good-looking men like them. Like you, Ye Jie, Hao Huihui, Yin Si, and Rongcheng in the imperial capital, there are too many to count. ”

"So?"

"So I can't get too close to you, for fear of affecting my studies!"

This logic is multi-passable!

Xia Qimo felt that Ding Ning said a lot and didn't say the point at all, what makes them good-looking and likes a lot of people, so she wants to block them for fear of affecting their studies.

The real point is that Ding Ning's mother is afraid that she will be hurt.

Because she felt that a man like him, if Ding Ning fell in love with him one day, it would only be Ding Ning who would be hurt in the end.

Ding Ning is their baby, a one-of-a-kind baby.

"So if you graduate, your mother will allow you to get close to us?" Xia Qimo asked.

Ding Ning thought, how is this possible, her mother means that it is best not to have contact for the rest of her life.

Of course, she can't say any of that.

"Maybe, my mom takes my studies seriously. In high school, in order for me to be admitted to college, my mother didn't watch TV for a year to study with me. Therefore, she stopped everything that affected my studies, and it was naturally not allowed to chat with my good-looking brother. ”

"So you're not going to add me back as a friend?"

Ding Ning thought that was of course, adding friends and exchanging information did not necessarily lead to contact each other, isn't this the case with Xia Qimo in the past six months?

For a semester, he didn't make a single phone call, didn't send a single message, even if it was a sentence about how are you, he didn't have it.

What's the use of adding friends?

Is it convenient to see him show affection with that noble and beautiful daughter of the imperial capital in the future?

Don't eat this kind of dog food, isn't that looking for abuse?

"We won't see each other often in the future," Ding Ning said, "It doesn't matter if you add it or not, in my heart I will treat you as a friend, a friend forever." ”

Ding Ning smiled inexplicably when he said this, but tears fell.

She quickly wiped it off with her hand, and asked Xia Qimo in a pleasant voice, "Why do you care so much about me blocking you? ”

"I didn't care, I just wanted to know why. ”

"How do you feel now that you know that?"

"Then don't add it. Xia Qimo stopped talking after saying this.

Ding Ning thought, this is over, Xia Qimo is angry.

What about the clothes, does he still borrow them?

When the two of them returned to the hotel, Ding Ning was indeed cold enough, and with an unpleasant conversation with Xia Qimo, she decided to go back to her room to sleep, and it was not too early.

Xia Qihao didn't raise any objections, He Shumin naturally couldn't ask for it, she was worried that Xia Qihao would ask Ding Ning why he said that he had a lot of girlfriends.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Ding Ning woke up the next day, her cousin-in-law brought her a down jacket, saying that Xia Qimo asked her to hand it over to Ding Ning.

Ding Ning put a set on her body, even if Xia Qimo's clothes are short, they are still very big on her, but fortunately, the style is also male and female, with a scarf full of fashion.

Ding Ning wore it and walked with his father for a day, seven aunts and eight aunts shouted around, received a few red envelopes and met a few sisters and brothers of the same generation, and returned to the hotel after two meals.

Today, the father and son of the Xia family also walked around among their relatives, and they came back with Ding Ning's father and daughter.

After coming back, Xia Runian and Ding Ning's father made an appointment to soak in a hot spring together.

Since it is a hot spring inn, there is a reason not to soak in hot springs.

The hot spring pool is just outside the room, and the side door opens and you walk through the terrace and up to the stone path a few meters away.

Ding Ning had observed the terrain on the day she came, and she also knew that a room with a small pool, whether you soak in that hot spring or not, the water will flow like this.

Ding Ning has not soaked once in three days, and he fell into the ditch yesterday and took a hot bath.

She had wanted to try it for a long time.

However, He Shumin also said that she wanted to soak and showed off her swimsuit.

Ding Ning suddenly lost interest.

What a shame it is to go into the water in a swimsuit in front of the Big Mac.

However, He Shumin didn't want to miss the opportunity to compare her body with others, not to mention that there were two handsome guys in the hot spring pool, isn't this the best time to show herself?

"Go, if you don't go, I'll be bored to be alone!" she tried her best to persuade Ding Ning.

Ding Ning was so soft and hard by her, so she could only agree.

The two of them changed their clothes in their rooms and walked towards the hot spring pool in their bathrobes.
