He fell so soundly asleep listening to our voices.

One week during the holiday passed faster than any other time.

"Later, I'll kick Long Aotian out," said Li Qingxue in the video. She was wearing a cute furry rabbit pajamas and grabbing the rabbit ears on it with both hands, smiling beautifully.

"This is our private chat group for the three of us. Brother Long, don't blame me for kicking you out after this, okay?" Hu Yuying was wearing a common red floral cotton-padded jacket in the countryside.

Although it was a rather old-fashioned piece of clothing, on Hu Yuying, it exuded a kind of inexplicable maturity and charm.

"Alas, if it weren't for Wanning's competition today, I wouldn't have known that you two secretly created a small group behind my back," Long Aotian complained as he looked at the two girls in the video. In fact, on the train back from Capital City, when Long Aotian, out of fear that Wanning would worry, used Hu Yuying's phone to reply to messages, he had already seen this group.

At this moment, there was another figure in the video, and this figure was walking onto the stage.

With a tall and slender figure, a graceful curve, and long hair pulled up high, revealing a long, fair swan neck, who else could it be but Lin Wanning?

Today was the recording site of Lin Wanning's second PK round.

Compared with the crowded and noisy atmosphere during the first public audition, this time it was much quieter.

Each subsequent round of the competition would be more demanding than the previous one.

"Shh, let's be quiet first," Long Aotian whispered as he heard the melody start and saw Lin Wanning slightly raise her hand, a gesture she always subconsciously made before starting to sing. He knew this gesture well because he was familiar with her.

Lin Wanning was singing a song with high online popularity this time.

With her unique voice, she sang this song in a completely different way.

It was the kind that once she opened her mouth, people would forget about the original singer.

After a song was finished, it was time for the judges to score.

They couldn't see the scoring screen, but when they saw Lin Wanning looking excitedly in the direction of the phone, Long Aotian and the other two burst into happy cheers.

It was a sure thing!

Soon, Lin Wanning bowed to the audience on the stage and then trotted towards the phone.

Before she even got close to the phone, they could already hear her excited voice: "I've advanced! I've advanced again!"

"It's a pity that we're not there. Otherwise, we'd definitely celebrate with you today," someone said.

But Lin Wanning didn't care at all. She picked up the phone and spun around on the spot out of the joy of advancing: "But you're already accompanying me in another way now."

"I'm so happy. As long as I can advance two more rounds, I'll definitely be among the contestants who make it big this time."

The first and the second advancements were constantly giving Lin Wanning great confidence.

"What have you all been doing at home?" After the competition and successfully advancing, the contestants would receive a message on their phones.

The message would indicate the time and location for the next round of the competition.

After receiving this message, if the contestants didn't want to watch the remaining contestants' competitions, they could choose to leave directly.

Lin Wanning had already walked out of the venue from the backstage at this moment.

It wasn't snowing in Capital City today, but the weather outside was really not good. It was windy and overcast, and it seemed that it would snow tonight or tomorrow.

The three girls each shared some interesting things they had done at home.

"I'm going to a high school classmates' reunion in a few days. After that, how about I come to visit you?" Li Qingxue said after listening to Hu Yuying's interesting stories about the countryside.

With her lively personality, she also wanted to go to Hu Yuying's place to see the snow-covered rural world.

The back mountain was covered in white snow. Looking into the distance, it was a vast expanse of white. They could roast a fire, roast sweet potatoes, roast corn. It seemed that as long as there was a fire, they could roast anything.

These were things that couldn't be seen in the city.

In the city, the snow on the ground would be quickly cleared, otherwise, it would affect the normal traffic on the roads.

So Li Qingxue really wanted to go and experience it.

"Sure. If you come, I'll pick you up. But life in the village can't compare to that in the city. You have to be mentally prepared," Hu Yuying said.

"Then it's a deal. After I finish the classmates' reunion, I'll come to you."

"I'm so envious of you. A classmates' reunion and being able to go to your place to roast sweet potatoes..." Listening to their conversation, Lin Wanning actually wanted to go too.

"Doesn't brother have a classmates' reunion?"

Long Aotian shrugged. The reputation of his former self was so bad that no one would invite him for no reason.

Hu Yuying transferred to the school in the second half of the semester, so she didn't know many people. And even if someone invited her, it was estimated that the little girl wouldn't go. It was too far away, and it wasn't worth the trouble of going back and forth.

Looking at the three girls chatting happily, Long Aotian's lips curled up slightly. He liked listening to them talk, gossip, and especially liked seeing the smiles on their faces when they were happy.

It was snowing outside, and the heater was on inside the room. Listening to the voices and occasional laughter of the three girls, Long Aotian stretched out on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

As the three girls were chatting, Long Aotian disappeared from their sight.

At first, they were a bit confused and wondered if Long Aotian had gone out.

But soon they heard his snoring.

Li Qingxue said jokingly, "Long Aotian snores in his sleep. How can you stand it, Yuying!"

Hu Yuying blushed and said, "Actually, Brother Long usually doesn't snore. Maybe he's just too tired today."

After saying this, she looked around furtively.

Seeing Hu Yuying's furtive look as if she was afraid of being heard, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning couldn't help but laugh.

"Should we mute brother? Will it disturb him?"

Hu Yuying said it was unnecessary: "Maybe he can sleep so soundly just because of our voices."

"You're right, Yuying. It must be like this!" Li Qingxue echoed with a smile.

"I remember that you used to be classmates with Ye Liangchen, Qingxue. Will he also attend the classmates' reunion?" Lin Wanning asked suddenly, having thought of this question after reading Qingxue's novels.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just pretend I don't know him. And many classmates in our class used to get along well with me. If I don't go, it'll be a real dampener," Li Qingxue said.

As she said this, she even showed her palm: "I dared to slap him in Capital City before. Now in Haiwan City, I'm even less afraid of him. So don't worry."

"Anyway, it's best to stay away from Ye Liangchen. Stay far away from him, or it'll be like getting stuck with a piece of dogskin plaster!"

"Now in my eyes, he's no different from a stranger..."
