Summary

Hu Li Na negotiates with Gu Xi Zhi by the pool, promising to talk to her relatives if Gu Xi Zhi helps her little uncle. The cold air affects Gu Xi Zhi, who reflects on her brother's reckless behavior. A group watches them from the tea room, and Gu Jiang Yuan feels relieved he avoided winter swimming. Gu Xi Zhi, lost in thought, eventually responds to Hu Li Na, leading to a misunderstanding about family relations. In a moment of confrontation, Gu Xi Zhi pushes Hu Li Na into the icy pool, causing a commotion as family members rush to help. Hu Li Na, shivering and angry, confronts Gu Xi Zhi, who unapologetically defends her actions. The incident earns Gu Xi Zhi a reward from her system for exceeding her task. Hu Li Na catches a cold afterward and messages Gu Yi Jing about her feelings for Gu Si Rou, only to be reminded of their familial ties. The chapter concludes with the Gu family gathered for New Year’s Eve dinner, reflecting on the earlier events.
