Ski Into Love (Hush, the king is hibernating) [Requested]

Part 26

Chapter 26: The Awkwardness Continues

The next day, Wei Zhi woke up naturally. She rubbed her eyes and stared blankly in bed for half a minute before grabbing her phone to check the time: 9:30 AM.

Almost reflexively, Wei Zhi sprang out of bed and hurriedly opened WeChat, only to be met with an unexpectedly quiet interface.

Unlike usual mornings, there was no message from the person with the Crayon Shin-chan avatar at the top of her chat list, telling her to hurry up and meet at the ski equipment hall.

Today, Crayon Shin-chan was dead silent.

"..."

There was no class today.

The young girl sat on her bed, her mind blank once again.

"..."

An unpleasant day had begun, from waking up to facing a WeChat as quiet as a mouse.

As Wei Zhi sat clutching her phone, lost in thought, Jiang Nanfeng beside her was roused by the sheer force of her resentment.

Rolling over and struggling to open her eyes, Jiang Nanfeng looked at the person sitting upright in the next bed and offered a sincere assessment: "Although you're not married yet, I can already picture what you'll look like on your divorce day, standing at the civil affairs bureau watching your husband walk away with a rich woman without looking back."

"Could you use some punctuation when you speak?" Wei Zhi retorted.

"I won't," Jiang Nanfeng replied.

Wei Zhi whipped her head around and asked, "I don't have class, but don't you?"

"I told Yan Yan we're taking a break today to accompany you to other ski resorts," Jiang Nanfeng yawned.

"What's with that ungrateful tone so early in the morning? Don't make me want to hit you."

Wei Zhi let out a dismissive snort, showing her complete lack of appreciation for Jiang Nanfeng's sympathy. She genuinely didn't want to be pitied, feeling as if she was being treated like some poor, abandoned creature.

Honestly, if that person was busy, so be it. It's not like he was the only ski instructor in all of Zhangjiakou and Chongli...

What's so great about him anyway?

Her eyes rolled in their sockets as a mischievous idea formed.

Wei Zhi grabbed her phone and opened a short video app.

She scrolled and scrolled until she found...

Candidate Number One.

A skiing-related content creator based in Zhangjiakou, a regular at the foot of the mountain ski resorts.

Estimated height: 180 cm. His spins on the slopes made him look like both a freestyle master and a spinning top.

Not bad, not bad.

She clicked on his profile and followed him as a show of respect. His bio stated "Lessons available," which made her happy.

Scrolling down, she saw various videos of him skiing, wearing different colorful snowsuits in each. Such a trendsetter!

Scrolling further, she came across a different kind of video: the content creator horsing around with friends at a candied haw seller's stall. His face mask was off, revealing his face—

Wei Zhi: "..."

She exited the page and unfollowed.

Candidate Number Two.
