Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Ding Heng lowered his gaze and looked at the blanket.

Baima understood immediately, and her delicate face flushed red again.

She obediently lifted the blanket, and her two bare little legs stretched out again, resting on Ding Heng's thighs.

"Brother, my feet are still cold."

My adorable little sister, speaking in a submissive tone.

"Could you rub it for me again?"

Chapter 249: The Girls' Year-End Plans

In the days that followed, with Quzhen turning a blind eye, Baima resumed her comfortable life with tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money every month.

All you have to do is tell Lin Man, or ask Ding Heng directly, and you can easily get pocket money.

But it doesn't seem to be completely free...

For example, she needs to "play" a more obedient younger sister in front of Ding Heng.

Occasionally, she would "warm her feet" as a regular occurrence, and sometimes Ding Heng would scoop her up and hold her like a pillow.

Baima didn't mind; in fact, she quite enjoyed it.

Especially in winter, Ding Heng's body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people, making him particularly warm.

But she was still able to keenly perceive certain changes.

Ding Heng's hands were often not very well-behaved, frequently pushing their luck, but he always knew when to stop.

Does Ding Heng really treat her like a younger sister...?

Baima couldn't understand it, and was too lazy to think about it.

As December drew to a close, the weather grew colder day by day, and the damp chill of Changsha seeped into the very bones.

When Ding Heng finished his last class in the afternoon, the sky had already darkened into a gloomy gray.

He drove to the entrance of Zhongnan University and saw Zhao Yanxi standing by the roadside in the distance.

The girl was dressed in a greyish-white schoolgirl uniform, wearing a black down jacket over a scarf wrapped around her chin, revealing a pair of bright and lively eyes.

Her long, vibrant rose-red hair peeked out from the edge of her scarf, swaying gently in the cold wind.

Zhao Yanxi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, quickly took off her down jacket, rubbed her hands together, and exhaled a puff of white breath.

"It's freezing! It's freezing!"

Ding Heng started the car, his gaze sweeping over those long legs that he had played with in countless ways, yet never tired of them.

Beneath the dark gray JK skirt, her legs were encased in thick black tights, the material substantial yet the lines still smooth.

"Don't always prioritize style over warmth."

Ding Heng muttered a sarcastic remark and casually turned the air conditioner up two degrees.

"hey-hey."

Zhao Yanxi smiled foolishly, took something out of her bag, and handed it to Ding Heng.

The red rope knot for peace is crookedly made, with uneven tassels.

Ding Heng took it, examined it from all angles, and raised an eyebrow.

"Where did you buy it? It's ugly."

Zhao Yanxi raised her hand and gently patted him, glaring at him with annoyance.

"What do you mean, 'bought'? I knitted it myself during a craft activity!"

Ding Heng immediately changed his tune, his tone becoming sincere.

"You know what, if you look closely... it's actually quite nice."

He hung the safety knot below the rearview mirror, adjusted the angle, and made it hang straight down.

Zhao Yanxi smiled, then suppressed her smile and let out a soft hum.

"You're smart enough not to argue with me."

Ding Heng reached out and gently pinched her thigh. The feel of the thick black pantyhose was completely different from that of the thin stockings; it wasn't as slippery, but rather had a warm, velvety texture.

"Did you get the leave request sorted out?"

"Well, the counselor wasn't happy at first, saying that the checks were strict lately. I talked to her for a long time and said that I had something to do at home before she reluctantly nodded."

Zhao Yanxi leaned back in her chair: "What about you guys? Have you decided where to go yet?"

"not yet."

Ding Heng stepped on the gas, and the Mercedes merged into the traffic: "We originally planned to go to the Maldives or Bali, but it's the peak tourist season at the end of December, and privacy can't be guaranteed. Lin Man is also hesitant, afraid that she might be photographed, which could cause trouble."

"Getting into trouble?"

Zhao Yanxi asked, puzzled, "What trouble are we getting into? We're not celebrities."

"When a bunch of beautiful women like you get together, it's hard not to attract attention, especially since Hua Qing is now considered a minor internet celebrity."

Ding Heng explained, "Besides, didn't your dad get a job transfer recently? It's always good to keep a low profile..."

Zhao Yanxi pursed her lips, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke.

"If all else fails, we can just make do in Xingcheng. It's not like we have to go on a trip, and it'll be easier to explain to our families."

Why are you suddenly so understanding?

Ding Heng glanced at her sideways and made a teasing remark.

"With Brother Ding Heng by my side, I can stay anywhere."

Zhao Yanxi spoke in an incredibly gentle tone.

For her, the novelty of traveling has worn off; now, Ding Heng's company is always her top priority.

The red light ahead turned on, and the Mercedes slowly came to a stop.

Ding Heng reached out and rubbed the kitten's head, using a lighter touch than usual.

"Let's go out for a walk. The weather in Xingcheng is damp and cold, and everyone will feel uncomfortable if we stay in there for too long."

"Then you and Sister Man had better decide soon so I can explain it to my parents."

Zhao Yanxi leaned back in her chair, then suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, what about Long He? Her birthday is just one day away from yours, what are your plans for this year?"

Ding Heng tapped his fingers lightly twice on the steering wheel.

"She probably has something to do. Last year's incident was quite awkward, so I won't bother her this year."

Zhao Yanxi said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

When the two arrived home, the living room was already bustling with activity.

Lin Man, Wen Jing, and Bai Ma sat cross-legged on the carpet, with several printed travel plans spread out in front of them.

In the center of the coffee table, Wenjing's phone stood upright on a stand, and on the screen, Huaqing was holding Heidou and video chatting with everyone.

Hearing the noise from the entrance, the group turned around at the same time.

"You're back!"

Wenjing spoke first, smiling at Ding Heng.

Zhao Yanxi changed into her slippers and jogged over, then plopped down next to Lin Man.

"How did the discussion go?"

"Look at it."

Lin Man presented her with a plan.

The document lists three alternative options in black and white.

Option A: Bali

Advantages: Warm, beautiful scenery, suitable for taking photos.

Disadvantages: peak tourist season, privacy is hard to guarantee, rain is possible during the rainy season.

Option B: Swiss Skiing

Advantages: Stunning scenery, relatively few people.

Disadvantages: It's cold! And most of us are terrible skiers.

Option C: South Island, New Zealand

Advantages: Late December is summer, with diverse scenery, fewer crowds, and good privacy.

Disadvantages: Long flight time and inconvenient transfers.

Zhao Yanxi read through the messages one by one, then looked up at Hua Qing on the screen.

She asked, "Sister Hua Qing, which one do you prefer?"

Hua Qing thought for a moment and said, "New Zealand, I've heard it's quite beautiful there."

"Me too!"

Zhao Yanxi raised her hand: "I've never been to the Southern Hemisphere in my life!"

Lin Man made a note on the paper and turned to Wen Jing.

"Wenjing, what about you?"

"I don't understand, I'm fine with anything, I'll do whatever you arrange..."

Wenjing still prefers to be a nice person.

For her, going anywhere is a chance to broaden her horizons.

"But I think it's too far..."

Lin Man seemed reluctant to take a long flight and sought help again: "Bai Ma, do you have any objections?"

Baima chimed in, "Me too! It's a twelve-hour flight to New Zealand! And we're only going for less than a week, it's exhausting!"
