Chapter 76: You Started It First

Snow goggles?

Wei Zhi stared blankly at the man for a few seconds.

"The goggles are in the helmet. It was snowing and foggy up on the mountain earlier, and I couldn't see the path clearly, so I took them off. Look, they're right here—"

She reached into the helmet as she spoke, but when she pulled out the face guard, the helmet was empty.

She stopped, confused, turned the empty helmet upside down, and shook it in disbelief.

Shan Chong's face remained expressionless as he concluded for her: "They're not there at all."

Wei Zhi: "..."

The snow goggles were lost?

When?

She couldn't even remember where she had started taking off the goggles.

Then the board was so heavy, and her phone kept vibrating.

She had been changing her grip on the snowboard in various ways out of frustration...

During that time, the helmet containing the goggles had been swinging back and forth in her hand.

Her mind went blank for a few seconds, then the young girl reflexively jumped off the man's board, intending to walk back.

Shan Chong grabbed her, and she struggled with him for a moment until he took the helmet from her hands, put it on her head, and held onto her hand without letting go.

"You go down the mountain first. I'll come back up later and search along the path you came down."

As he spoke, he lifted her back onto his snowboard and made her wrap her arms around his waist.

The young girl, restrained by him, still craned her neck to look back up the mountain.

Shan Chong pressed down on her restless head.

"Wouldn't I find them faster on my board than you on your two legs? You'd be going up and down two kilometers, what is this, military training?"

He was teasing her, but she couldn't laugh at all.

After the confusion came to a huge blow—

She wondered what kind of terrible day this was.

The binding broke, and the goggles were lost.

Did the almanac say "Don't go out unless necessary" today?

Although Wei Zhi's family had never stinted on her food, clothing, or necessities since she was young, they hadn't instilled any bad habits in her either—

One of her few good habits was that she was particularly attached to old things.

For example, she wore a down jacket from kindergarten to fourth grade as an inner layer, from oversized to fitting, until her mother couldn't stand it anymore and threw it in the garbage.

That night, fourth-grade Wei Zhi hugged the empty garbage can and cried for two hours, heartbroken...

This stubborn childhood habit was perfectly preserved into adulthood.

As an adult, Wei Zhi's most emblematic behavior of attachment to old things was that she wouldn't replace her phone until it needed to be charged every two hours.

Moreover, regardless of whether she was attached to old things or not—

Those snow goggles were given to her by Shan Chong.
