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

Part 28

Chapter 28: After the Accident

Beici had taught countless girls how to do rail slides and jump tricks.

While none had been carried away on stretchers, falls and bumps during prop jumps were commonplace.

Some cried when they fell and hurt themselves.

But this was the first time he'd seen someone cry so hard they could barely breathe, calling out in pain while simultaneously being lucid enough to realize they'd done something deserving of scolding and deeply fearing that reprimand.

He supported Wei Zhi, trying to move her to a nearby stool, but she cried out in pain at the slightest movement.

Beici glanced down at her feet and, noticing she wasn't wearing the resort's rental boots, immediately understood the situation.

"Shifu only told you to buy shoes, not to bring band-aids?" he asked, though of course he received no response.

The mere mention of "Shifu" made the girl in his arms tremble, looking utterly pitiful.

While soothing her with "Okay, okay, I won't move you," Beici looked up and scanned the area, his gaze lingering on the Wantongtang Club logo sticker on K's snowboard. His eyes, previously full of helplessness, flickered and turned cold.

At that moment, Wei Zhi's ear was pressed against Beici's chest.

Unable to see his change in emotion, she sensed the shift in atmosphere like a small animal.

When she looked up at Beici in confusion, she caught sight of her usually jovial senior disciple, who often bantered with Lao Yan, no longer smiling.

His jaw was clenched, his gaze icy.

"Taking a beginner who can't even change edges into the park for big air jumps, then just watching when she falls... Flirting at the ski resort is fine, but this is low. Don't you think?"

The man's low voice resonated in his chest, reaching Wei Zhi's ear.

Wei Zhi was bewildered: What did he mean? Did they know each other?

She tried to turn her head to look at K.

Before she could complete the motion, the man in front of her held her head in place, preventing her from turning.

She could only stare at the row of vintage-style metal buttons on the chest of his punk-style jacket.

"Wait here. This isn't over. I'll deal with you guys later."

Beici dropped these words, then bent down to unfasten Wei Zhi's bindings.

Wei Zhi stumbled off her snowboard, free from the bindings.

He picked up her board, hung it on his elbow, and told her to wait a moment.

"I want to take off my shoes," Wei Zhi said softly.

"My heel is rubbed raw."

In truth, her entire body ached, but she was wearing multiple layers. Other areas would at most be bruised or scraped, but her heel felt wet...

It was probably bleeding.

Even the gentlest touch hurt, even the soft friction of her sock fabric was painful.

"No, it's too cold up here. You'll catch a cold if you take off your shoes," Beici replied, his tone softer than when he had spoken to K.

He bent down to look at her foot. "Can you feel that it's broken? Is it bleeding?"
