EAMRF Chapter 25.2

It was already the end of the year, and Xing Lixuan miraculously managed to wrap up all work-related affairs. His parents knew about his gloomy mood, so they organized a family trip to help him cheer up – they’re going skiing. 

The climate in Jiangcheng was mild, so it wasn’t suitable to build a large ski resort. In order to have fun, they took a special plane to a famous ice city in the north.

The ski resort was far from the airport. They got off the plane and took a car for nearly an hour before arriving at the hotel near the ski resort.

After driving for a long time, everyone was very tired. They planned to rest at the hotel for a day and go skiing tomorrow.

The hotel they booked was a hot spring hotel, and there was a separate open-air hot spring pool behind each room. Yu Antong was thinking about soaking in the hot spring, and woke up after a one-hour nap after they arrived earlier. 

When he woke up, he felt “thirsty” and rather mischievous. He decided to torture Xing Lixuan, “My husband, get up. Hurry up and go to the hot spring with me.”

Xing Lixuan pulled the quilt over his ears. He’s too sleepy to deal with such a vixen. “Go by yourself.”

“Let’s go together! I want to take a mandarin duck bath with you~” Yu Antong shook Xing Lixuan back and forth, “Get up, get up~”

Xing Lixuan was so disturbed that he couldn’t sleep anymore. He could fulfil Yu Antong’s whiny wish. “Little troublemaker.” 

Sliding a Japanese-style sliding door opened a separate small courtyard, where the private hot spring was located. The pool in the middle of the courtyard was steaming, and the view of a winter wonderland outside was breathtaking.

Yu Antong came out wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower. Although it was winter and there was still snow in the sky, because of this hot spring, he didn’t feel very cold.

“Running in the hot spring on a snowy day is so atmospheric!” Yu Antong didn’t rush into the pool, but stood in the courtyard and reached out to catch the snowflakes gently fluttering by.

“Come down quickly,” Xing Lixuan pulled him into the hot water, thinking, ‘Idiot, do you have a cold?’

“Ah! Xing Lixuan!” Yu Antong was pulled down, lost his balance, and fell down with a huge splash. He even choked on water, “Cough! Hey!!” 

Yu Antong was so angry that he chased Xing Lixuan to beat him, “You are so annoying!”

Xing Lixuan was caught by him, he said with a smile, “You were the one who insisted on making me get up, and now you think I’m bothering you. Take responsibility, would you?”

“Can’t I have some fun!” Yu Antong lightly bit Xing Lixuan’s shoulder. Then, after venting his annoyance, he swam to the side and perched his upper body on a couple of rocks. He reached out his hand forward, grabbing a handful of snowflakes accumulated on the rock. Then, he packed them tight, and threw the snowball towards Xing Lixuan.

Xing Lixuan kicked his long legs, dodged his attack, and swam towards Yu Antong with an astonishing speed. He caught the brat and pulled him into his hold. He turned his head to look at the neat circle of teeth marks on his shoulder, and his voice was getting dangerously low, “What kind of fun do you want?”

Yu Antong’s body trembled when Xing Lixuan spoke close to his ear. Ah… he was really too easily bewitched by this dog man.

Yu Antong said softly, “Husband, I don’t want to soak in the hot spring anymore. I want you.”

The two of them hadn’t done anything for nearly two months. But they were thinking about going skiing the next day, so they only touched each other once. It ended rather quickly, too.


On the next day, Mr. Xing and Mrs. Xing went to play sledding, and Xing Lixuan took Yu Antong to the junior ski field to teach Yu Antong how to ski.

Yu Antong took a look at the bulky red ski suit and frowned. It looked ugly, and he’s not shy enough not to voice his opinion, “It looked so bloated. Ugly.” 

“Then what do you want?” Xing Lixuan was baffled by his attitude, “Skiing in a bikini?”

“I know, I know, this is for my safety and such. I’ll wear this properly, don’t worry,” Yu Antong huffed impatiently, “Hurry up and teach me already.” 

Xing Lixuan brought them both into a rather flat plain, and helped Yu Antong with his posture. “Separate the legs, keep them shoulder-width apart, so that the force on the two skis is distributed evenly,” Xing Lixuan adjusted Yu Antong’s sloppy standing, “Straighten your back and relax your body.”

Yu Antong muttered under his breath, “You have to straighten your back and relax at the same time, how do you do it?”

Xing Lixuan: “Keeping your back straight doesn’t mean making you stretch like a log.”

After teaching for a long time, Yu Antong began to get irritated. He successfully swatted Xing Lixuan away, claiming that he already understood the theory and just needed to apply it. 

They chose the easiest snow track suitable for beginners, and Xing Lixuan accompanied Yu Antong to slide down together.

This ski course was very short. Yu Antong was quite talented, and he did not fall down to the end, which was a success.

Yu Antong raised his arms and shouted in joy, “Let me just say – I can do it first try, I’m such a little genius… ah!”

Yu Antong’s words were cut short because of his unstable motions, causing him to fall down butt-first to the snowy ground .

Xing Lixuan laughed at him and said, “Falling on flat ground is quite a genius.”

Yu Antong sat on the ground, covering his stomach, and frowned delicately, “Husband, my stomach hurts.”

Xing Lixuan thought he was pretending on purpose, and said with a smile, “Idiot, you fell on your butt, and if it hurts, it hurts. It’s cold on the ground, get up quickly.”

Xing Lixuan said so, but he still walked up to Yu Antong and pulled him up.

Yu Antong beat him angrily, “You’re an idiot, I really have a stomachache, okay?”     

Xing Lixuan: “Really? If so, let’s stop playing and go to the hospital.”

Seeing Yu Antong’s scrunched-up expression and the way he covered his mouth, Xing Lixuan guessed that he should also experience nausea on top of a stomachache… which worryingly, was now a common occurrence that Yu Antong experienced lately. The more he thought about it, the more he became worried. What if Yu Antong had a hidden illness? 

Yu Antong hadn’t had a good time yet, so he didn’t want to leave, “It doesn’t seem to hurt very much. Eh, it’s so strange, why doesn’t it hurt anymore?”     

Xing Lixuan was still worried, so he said, “Then you are not allowed to skate anymore. Go sit in the viewing area and rest honestly. ”     

“Ah, okay…” Yu Antong reluctantly sat on the viewing platform and watched other skiers zigzag handsomely and slide down from the top.     

“Wow, husband, look quickly! That man in blue is so handsome!”     

‘How dare my wife look at other men with that admiring gaze!!’ Xing Lixuan thought, then replied with full disdain, “It’s just a junior snow course, what’s so amazing?”    

Yu Antong said,  “Geh, are you just all talk? Prove it by skiing!!”

Xing Lixuan was stimulated by his jealousy, and this fire was further stoke by his own pride. “Come on, my husband will take you to the high-level ski track to see some real skiing.” 

The two of them took the cable car to the advanced ski trail. This trail was much narrower and very steep. Yu Antong’s heart beat faster when he saw the slopes.

Xing Lixuan first did his warm-up exercises, raising his body temperature. Then, he began to slide down with his ski poles as a test. At first, his speed was slow, but soon after passing a curve, the slope increased significantly, and Xing Lixuan’s speed suddenly increased.

Seeing Xing Lixuan swooping down at an extremely fast speed, as if he was about to hit the curve, Yu Antong’s heart rose to his throat. The next second, Xing Lixuan exerted force on his waist, making a beautiful turn and simultaneously scraped a large swirl of snow until it rained on the side. 

With each thrilling turn, Yu Antong’s heart went up and down following Xing Lixuan’s movements. He was sweating nervously in the icy and snowy field.

Finally seeing Xing Lixuan reach the finish line safely, Yu Antong let out a sigh of relief. This was exciting, true, but this was also not good for his poor heart. 

After a while, Xing Lixuan came to Yu Antong’s side, took off his protective helmet, and said in a cool maner, “How is it?” 

Yu Antong rushed forward to hug and kissed him vigorously, “My husband is so handsome!”

As he hugged Xing Lixuan, Yu Antong’s mind replayed all his cool moments, pumping his blood and filling his mind. “Husband, that corner turn you made is really thrilling!”

Out of nowhere, a new voice sounded. Yu Antong turned, and he was faced with a smiling and laughing Mrs. Xing. 

Seeing Yu Antong hugging her son tightly like this, Mrs. Xing was happy. She recalled, “Lixuan participated in the national college student skiing competition when he was in college, and he won the championship.”

Yu Antong’s eyes lit up. Looking at Xing Lixuan carefully, he praised him without hesitation, “Are you so powerful? Where do you put your trophies? I haven’t seen them before.”

He remembered that when he lived in the old house, Xing Lixuan’s room was too tidy, there was no extra decoration at all.

Mrs. Xing replied in her son’s stead, “All those things of Lixuan are stored in the study cabinet at home.”

Yu Antong nodded, ‘Ah, no wonder. I have never been inside the study of the old house before.’

Xing Lixuan was flattered by Yu Antong’s praise, but his expression was not obvious. He said indifferently, “When we go back, I will show it to you.”


As the new year approached closer, the festive atmosphere of the New Year was getting stronger and stronger. The housekeeper of the house was tasked with buying minced meat for the new years’ dumplings. 

The housekeeper Auntie chopped up the stuffing and called Yu Antong, “Young Master Yu, come here and put in the seasoning, your cooking is better than mine.” 

Yu Antong has lived in this house for a long time now. At first, the chefs here felt apprehensive when they saw him cooking. But now they’re used to it, especially since he’s a really good cook. They even followed his advice and got good results from it.

Xing Lixuan’s parents went upstairs to rest, while Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan were downstairs. Yu Antong was sitting on the sofa, pestering Xing Lixuan to massage his legs, saying that his legs were sore from driving all the way. When he heard the Auntie shout at him, he immediately responded, “Okay, I’ll go there in a second!” 

Yu Antong stood up and said to Xing Lixuan, “Don’t run away, wait for me to come back later. You still owe me a massage.” 

Xing Lixuan cheekily replied, “I don’t dare to let my untrained hand to touch this esteemed Young Master’s legs. I’ll hire ten maids tomorrow to serve you.” 

Yu Antong had already gone inside the kitchen when Xing Lixuan said this. He poked his head to see Xing Lixuan eye-to-eye from afar, and snided back, “I don’t want maids. However, I do want to be served by a certain Young Master Xing.” 

The Auntie, who overheard all of this, pursed her lips into a fond smile. 

Yu Antong went back to the kitchen and took soy sauce and added it to the stuffing. He smelled the fishy smell of pork and suddenly felt sick.

Yu Antong put down the soy sauce, and walked quickly to the nearby sink, “Blerggh–!” 

Hearing this sudden sound, the Auntie panicked. “What’s wrong?
