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

Part 54

Chapter 54: What is the Happy Planet?

"Help."

With such a request, one felt that daring to utter a single "no" might invite a bolt of heavenly lightning from a clear sky.

Weizhi nodded obediently, then turned to Lu Xin, slightly embarrassed: "Maybe next time."

Lu Xin didn't think much of it but was surprised to hear Shan Chong mention a new board from a sponsor.

While brand sponsorships for snowboarders weren't uncommon these days, with several in their club, having one appear in person was still worth a closer look.

Unfortunately, the newcomer was too well-covered to see much.

After a brief greeting, Lu Xin slid down, leaving Weizhi with Shan Chong.

The latter watched the newcomer slide for a while until he disappeared from view.

Based on his technique, he seemed to have only one or two seasons of experience. His basic form had some issues but was within normal range.

From what Weizhi said, he hadn't made grandiose claims or taken people to inappropriate places to impress girls, like their club's previous fool. By fair standards, he seemed to be a decent snowboarder of similar skill level.

Shan Chong pondered but couldn't find fault. Yet he didn't want to be fair.

So, with his hands behind his back and a righteous tone, he said unkindly: "Aren't you afraid of meeting strange people by making friends so casually on the slopes?"

Weizhi had already stood up.

Under the man's intimidating presence, she didn't dare sit back down.

She tilted her head curiously: "What kind of strange people?"

The man pointed at his helmet.

Weizhi misunderstood: "His mind is fine, isn't it?"

"...I meant his helmet," he explained helplessly.

"Did you notice the sticker? It looks familiar, doesn't it? It's the same as the one who put you in a wheelchair last time – Wantong Hall's sticker. That guy is from Wantong Hall."

Like an old father, having failed to find fault, he switched to a gentle persuasion mode.

He played the "enemy camp" card, hoping she'd recall the fear of being wheelchair-bound and back off.

However, Weizhi was only momentarily surprised, then said: "I didn't expect Wantong Hall to have good people too."

Shan Chong: "..."

Weizhi: "What's wrong?"

Fine.

Good advice falls on deaf ears, doesn't it?

"Nothing," the man said expressionlessly, nodding his chin towards the bottom of the mountain.

"Go ski. 30km, not a meter less."

...

Weizhi didn't even have time for a sip of water before completing 30km by 12:30 PM.

On her last run to the ski equipment hall entrance, she fell to her knees with a "thud," supporting herself on the ground in an "orz" position, her legs too weak to even stand and remove her board.

She heard the "swish" of a snowboard on the snow behind her, then the man's shadow enveloped her.

A large hand gripped her elbow, lifting her from the ground and removing her board in one smooth motion.
