If there was any regret in this “chance encounter at the ski resort, romantic reunion” scene, it was probably that even after a night of spring breeze (?), Wei Zhi still couldn’t get familiar with her “coach” brother.
The coach walked in front carrying two snowboards.
Following behind him, Wei Zhi reached out countless times to grab the snowboard, only to silently retract her hand. Her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish blowing bubbles, but she could only remain as quiet as a chicken.
…Good morning Teacher Nian, have you eaten Teacher Nian? What did you eat Teacher Nian? Are you in a good mood today Teacher Nian? Can you nag a little less today Teacher Nian? Can you praise me Teacher Nian? I heard other teachers use loving education, but I’m a bit envious of Teacher Nian.
“…”
Facing that black silhouette, Wei Zhi silently sighed.
The magic carpet area was very crowded that day.
Walking in front, Shan Chong glanced at the small slope packed like dumplings, immediately lost his appetite, and turned to the girl who had braked abruptly behind him, nearly crashing into his chest: “We’re not doing the magic carpet area today. Let’s go up the mountain.”
Yesterday, Wei Zhi had heard Jiang Nanfeng say that there were not very steep slopes on the mountain, with fewer people and better snow conditions. The scenery was excellent, and she had struck a thousand poses with her snowboard, taking ten thousand check-in photos.
It made Wei Zhi very surprised—
Skiing involved more than just falling; you could also take photos.
Wei Zhi nodded and asked, “Is the scenery on the mountain really good?”
“It’s alright,” Shan Chong replied. “It snowed last night, so there should be rime ice in the small forest.”
Wei Zhi innocently asked, “Can I take photos on the mountain then?”
Shan Chong glanced at her: “You can take photos after you ski well. What’s the point of taking photos when you ski like crap?”
“…” Wei Zhi nodded, “You’re right.”
See.
This was what Wei Zhi liked about her coach brother—
Honesty.
Using sincere language to inspire people to continuously improve.
The cable car was a small enclosed gondola, similar to those in amusement park Ferris wheels. The two sat inside facing each other. Wei Zhi’s hands couldn’t stay still, fidgeting with the zipper on her pants pocket.
Shan Chong’s gaze swept over her reddened fingertips.
“I thought you weren’t coming anymore.”
He suddenly initiated the conversation, his tone calm.
But this didn’t prevent the person sitting across from him from immediately perking up. She pinched the zipper on her pants pocket, blinked, and answered quickly: “I didn’t say I wasn’t coming. Mainly, I had nothing else to do if I didn’t come. My friend enjoyed skiing yesterday, so she simply bought a return flight ticket for ten days later.”
Shan Chong: “Oh.”
Wei Zhi hadn’t had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Shan Chong: “So you mean you didn’t enjoy skiing yesterday.”
Wei Zhi: “…”
Wei Zhi silently turned her head to look outside the gondola. It was quite high up. Jumping out now by prying open the door would probably result in broken legs.
Ah.
Mom.
Help.
Wei Zhi withdrew her gaze and said sincerely: “No, I enjoyed it too.”
The person sitting across from her leaned back, adopting a relaxed posture, and raised his chin at her.
“If you planned to find me to continue lessons, why didn’t you ask for my WeChat after class yesterday to book in advance?”
“Can we do that? Are you allowed to give your WeChat to customers privately?”
“Why not? I come to teach, I’m not selling myself to the ski resort as a gigolo.”
“…”
Ah.
Why hasn’t this cable car reached the top yet?
How much longer?
Has anyone considered that people trapped inside might suffocate at this slow speed?
Wei Zhi forced her gaze to land on the tip of the man’s nose opposite her—the bridge of his nose was high and straight under the black face mask, with an upturned tip.
In the cable car, he wasn’t wearing ski goggles. Up close, his eyes were also very beautiful, with long, fine eyelashes like a beautiful boy from a shoujo manga.
…
As long as he didn’t take off his face mask, he was Tomohisa Yamashita, Takeshi Kaneshiro, or Louis Koo from the era of “The Return of the Condor Heroes”.
No girl could lack patience with such a man, even if his mouth was mean.
“I thought if I came early, I could catch you,” Wei Zhi said. “The ski resort had just opened.”
“Not necessarily. I’m very busy.”
