Chapter 48: The Tiger and Elizabeth's Circle
Dai Duo's call wasn't answered by Wei Zhi.
During class, she had her phone confiscated like an elementary school student.
While still rolling around on the snow trying to change her blade edge, she looked up and saw Shan Chong, who had been by her side, suddenly stop.
After a pause, he took her phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and told her: "Jiang Nanfeng."
Wei Zhi, already aching all over from falling, raised her arms and cheered: "Nanfeng's calling me for dinner! Class dismissed! Class dismissed!"
Shan Chong gestured with his chin for her to continue changing her blade edge instead of slacking off, then casually answered the phone for her.
Both sides said "Hello" simultaneously, then fell silent at the same time.
After a moment, Shan Chong was the first to react, "Dai Duo?"
"Mm," Dai Duo's voice sounded nonchalant, "Did yours end up in the hospital too? Why do you have her phone?"
Wei Zhi had her phone confiscated because when Jiang Nanfeng was around, she would use excuses like "I'm waiting for Nanfeng" or "Nanfeng is waiting for me" to rest by herself...
When Jiang Nanfeng wasn't around, she'd say "My phone rang," treating every little disturbance as "my phone rang."
Sometimes even a bill message from 10086 was enough for her to sit down by the slope and rest for five minutes.
That's why her phone was confiscated.
Although Shan Chong didn't feel the need to explain this to Dai Duo.
"If you can't speak properly, I suggest you keep your mouth shut," the man said expressionlessly.
"What do you mean by 'too'?"
Three minutes later, Shan Chong hung up the phone.
Looking up, he saw Wei Zhi attempt a front edge change, only to slap flat onto the snow, kicking up a wall of snow dust.
She lay face-down on the slope, sliding down a meter or two before stopping.
After a while, she lifted her snow-covered head from the surface, silently got on her knees, and furtively glanced around.
Confirming no one was watching, she supported herself with one hand and rubbed her chest with the other.
Shan Chong: "..."
Pocketing the phone, he slowly slid over to her.
Wei Zhi, hiding behind her face guard, was wincing and thinking how fortunate it was that her chest was real, otherwise, ten of them would have burst from the fall.
The next moment, she felt a shadow block the light.
Her posture froze as she looked up.
Her gaze traveled from the familiar black Mach board, past his snow pants, and his snow jacket, to his cold and noble jawline... Through the snow goggles, she met the man's calm eyes, and her face suddenly flushed.
She quickly removed her hand from her chest.
"What?" she asked defiantly.
The man stood before her with his hands behind his back, ignoring her false bravado: "Dai Duo just called. He said Jiang Nanfeng hit the net on the advanced slope after colliding with Yu and Lei. She injured his hand and foot, but-"
Before he could finish, the young girl grabbed his pants, pulling herself up forcefully.
Without a word, she took off her gloves and reached into his pocket for her phone-
