“How about going ice skating? That way, it won’t be hot.” Gu Chen asked.

“You’re so free. Why are you still going ice skating? They’re in a heated fight at this time.” Shen Xi laughed.

Gu Chen just smiled and said softly, “They are the main characters. I’m just a nobody supporting them. Of course, I have nothing to do.”

Then Gu Chen changed the topic and smiled. “Then it’s decided. Let’s go skating, okay?”

Gu Chen didn’t want to talk about these topics with Shen Xi because it made him feel like Shen Xi was trying to get information out of him.

Besides, he didn’t know how long the two of them could spend together, so he didn’t want to waste time on unimportant things.

From the first time he met Shen Xi, he had been dating for many years. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, nothing was more important than him being together with Shen Xi.

“Alright, then we’ll go ice skating. Treat it as a summer vacation.” Shen Xi nodded with a smile.

Gu Chen’s lips curled up happily. When he looked ahead, he seemed to be looking forward to it.

At this moment, Gu Chen was like a young boy who was pursuing his beloved girl. He wanted to show off his superb skills on the ice rink and surprise the girl in his heart.

As soon as they arrived at the skating rink, Gu Chen quickly paid the fee based on the remaining memories of his childhood. Then, he took two sets of new equipment and brought Shen Xi to the locker room.

“I feel like you’re no stranger to this place.” Shen Xi asked curiously.

Gu Chen nodded with a smile. He looked around with memories and smiled. “When my parents were still alive, they liked to bring me here to play. At that time, my skills were not bad. People called me the Little Prince of the Ice Arena.”

Shen Xi thought for a moment. Gu Chen’s parents had not passed away yet. That was before Gu Chen was thirteen years old. Gu Chen should have been very happy at that time.

With a proud family background, a happy family, outstanding looks, and talent, such a young man would be the focus of everyone wherever he went, right?

“Alright, Little Prince of the Ice Arena, let me see how powerful you are later. I want to see if the First Prince of the Ice Arena still has the same elegance as you did back then.” Shen Xi teased.

Gu Chen retracted his reminiscing gaze. His face had a youthful competitive expression and a hearty smile that Shen Xi had never seen before. It was no longer the feminine and cold smile from before, but a sunny and bright smile.

Shen Xi sighed.

Gu Chen pulled Shen Xi to a separate room and said, “This is a lounge that my parents booked for a long time when they were alive. After they passed away, I continued to pay for the contract. Even though I haven’t been here for more than ten years, this place still belongs to me and my family.”

Shen Xi looked around the lounge. All the decorations and furniture looked quite old. It seemed that there had been no changes since more than ten years ago.

There was a simple sofa, table, chair, refrigerator, and a glass cabinet with a small animal in a ski suit. There was also a vase with fresh flowers on the table next to it, making the whole house look warm and beautiful.

“There are drinks and snacks in the fridge. I get someone to update them every day. They haven’t expired yet. What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.” Gu Chen had already opened the refrigerator door and stood beside Shen Xi as he asked softly.

Shen Xi suddenly felt a little upset. For more than ten years, Gu Chen had used this method to protect the home and warmth in his heart.

A person who had tasted happiness would naturally not forget it once they lost it. They would even stubbornly want to keep this happiness and desperately want to keep this beauty.

Seeing that Shen Xi didn’t answer, Gu Chen hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Why were you suddenly in a bad mood? Did you not want to ice skating anymore? Then where do you want to go? I’ll go with you.”

Shen Xi shook her head and looked at Gu Chen with slight sympathy in his eyes.

When Gu Chen saw Shen Xi’s expression, he was slightly stunned for a moment. He picked up a small cake from the fridge and walked towards Shen Xi.

He took Shen Xi’s hand and stuffed the strawberry-flavored cake into Shen Xi’s hand. Then, he used the hand that had just taken the cake to gently block Shen Xi’s line of sight.

Gu Chen’s hand was still cold from the refrigerator. He covered Shen Xi’s eyes with a hint of coldness.

At this time, Gu Chen’s clear and moist voice sounded faint, “Xi, don’t look at me with such pity. I don’t want others to think that I’m pitiful. That will make me feel that I’m living a pitiful life.”
