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

Part 131

Chapter 131: Here's Some Snow for You to Slide On

Was Shan Chong determined to retire from the moment he woke up in the operating room?

Not entirely.

After all, snowboarding and big air had been a part of his life for so long.

To Shan Chong, these activities had become as natural as eating and drinking...

At least, that's what he thought before the anesthesia wore off.

Upon waking, he learned that the surgery, originally scheduled for three to four hours, had lasted over six.

The attending physician responsibly informed him that upon opening his body, they found the situation slightly worse than anticipated...

There was some damage to the cauda equina nerves, which control a person's autonomous physiological functions.

As a result, the doctors spent a considerable amount of time suturing that area.

Fortunately, there shouldn't be any major issues.

At the time, his parents and Wang Xin were by his bedside.

Dai Duo had taken Shan Shan back to the hotel to rest.

They had also waited outside the operating room all day, only leaving after Shan Chong was wheeled out.

He had no recollection of this.

When he regained consciousness and saw Wang Xin, his first thought was to discuss the upcoming important competitions scheduled for around March, such as the Burton U.S. Open, X Games, and several World Cup events...

He wouldn't make it in time.

He'd likely miss them all.

When he shared this thought with Wang Xin, the coach didn't react much.

Missing the competitions wasn't a big deal; there were still over three years until the Beijing Winter Olympics, so taking a year to recover wouldn't be a problem.

Shan Chong was surprised that his coach wasn't being his usual talkative self.

He had expected to wake up to a lecture about safety precautions and whatnot...

But Wang Xin didn't mention a word about it.

Instead, like a caring father, he tucked Shan Chong's blanket and told him not to worry about anything and focus on recovery.

In the following days, Shan Chong's teammates, juniors, and friends came to visit him.

Bei Ci was the most frequent visitor, neglecting his training to sit by Shan Chong's bedside with an expression so tragic it was as if he were attending a funeral...

This emotional state persisted even after Shan Chong was able to wear a back brace for lumbar spine recovery, get out of bed on his own, and take care of his personal needs.

Bei Ci maintained the same gloomy demeanor.

Shan Chong's feelings towards him evolved from "he's a good brother" to "Is this guy mentally ill?"

One day, unable to tolerate Bei Ci's mournful face as he sat peeling an apple at his bedside, Shan Chong slowly put on his turtle shell-like back brace and sat up.

"Chong-ge," Bei Ci asked, "where are you going?"

"To hang me."

"........."

"To the bathroom," Shan Chong replied, putting on his slippers and giving Bei Ci a sidelong glance.

"Want to come hold my dick for me?"
