"What are you guys doing?" With a deep, magnetic voice tinged with barely noticeable annoyance, everyone turned to look and discovered it was Wang who had arrived.

Everyone was thinking to themselves, wondering why Wang never took part in their activities. Today, they were puzzled as to why he suddenly decided to join them.

Randall wore all black, which accentuated his aloofness. He approached with a straight posture and, seeing the three people surrounded by the crowd, especially the ambiguous embrace, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, his expression growing colder.

Everyone couldn't help but shiver, and the atmosphere instantly grew cold. The people who came back to their senses immediately bowed to him. Eu Yue hurriedly pulled the tipsy Perl to bow, but Perl just clung onto him like a koala, making his movements quite difficult.

"Wang, we're having a Christmas PARTY..." Ou Yue slightly pushed Pearl away, but Pearl unconsciously moved closer again, like a clingy little cat.

Ou Yue's face turned red, not knowing whether it was because of the alcohol she had just drunk or because she was being fumed by the hot air exhaled by Perle.

Randall's face darkened as he watched the blond and handsome young man continuously snuggle into Europe's embrace. However, Europe obediently held onto him without truly pushing him away, causing an inexplicable anger to rise within his heart.

"You, come with me." Randall stared at Ou Yue and solemnly uttered these words before turning around and leaving.

Everyone could feel the intense pressure emanating from Wang, causing them to collectively fall silent. It wasn't until Randall's figure disappeared at the doorway that they finally let out a sigh of relief, as if they had just narrowly escaped a disaster.

Wang's gaze is really intimidating...

Ahem, um, Captain, you should go quickly...

Eu Yue felt a cold stare pierce his heart. Why did Randall always have to show him this disapproving look? He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he felt somewhat hurt.

"You guys continue playing," he frowned, forcefully prying Perl's claws open and stuffing the person into Leo's arms before leaving.

Randall stood at the gate with a black umbrella, his figure basked in a warm yellow light, giving him a golden edge.

Outside, the snow was falling gently, much heavier than in the evening, covering the ground with a layer of snow blanket.

"What instructions does the king have?" Ou Yue walked up behind Randall, expressionless, and asked stiffly.

Under the influence of alcohol, his emotions were amplified. A cold and indifferent look from Lander made him feel breathless, plummeting his mood to the bottom of a valley, leaving his mind in a state of confusion.

Randall turned around and looked at him as he stood there with a blank expression, head bowed. Although Euro's tone remained as respectful as ever, Randall subtly sensed his displeasure.

When did Ou Yue start keeping a distance from him and no longer call him Randall?

"....... "

As I waited, there was silence all around, with only snow falling silently on Ou Yue's shoulders.

"Wang?" Calling him out but not mentioning what for? He stared at the hem of Randall's black overcoat, finding it increasingly difficult to read his intentions.

Randall looked at his obvious distracted appearance and suddenly realized that today was Christmas, and he hadn't wished himself a Merry Christmas yet...

He furrowed his elegant brows, feeling puzzled and irritated by the constant stream of boring thoughts that plagued his mind today.

He dismissed those inexplicable thoughts from his mind and snorted coldly, saying, "Follow me."

Randall finished speaking and turned around, walking ahead on his own, leaving footprints in the snow without paying any attention to Eu Yue's reaction.

Eu Yue always obeyed Randall's orders without hesitation. He self-deprecatingly shook his head and maintained an appropriate distance as he followed behind him.

The cold wind, mixed with snow, scraped across his cheeks. The rosy blush on his face also faded away. The little alcohol he had just consumed made him feel increasingly dizzy and uncomfortable, with a hot sensation permeating through his whole body.

Speaking of which, he has been feeling a constant soreness and occasional swelling in the back of his neck these days. Especially after going to sleep at night, he thought it might be because of sleeping in a wrong position and twisting his neck. He also thought about seeing a doctor named Pearl someday, but always forgot about it.

And this strange feeling became increasingly apparent, as he trudged heavily through the snow, feeling his legs becoming more and more difficult to move, and his vision blurring.

Randall's figure seemed to be getting farther and farther away, his orange-red long hair blurring into a dizzying flame in his eyes.
