Chapter 133: A Slice of Daily Life
The next day, perhaps due to tossing and turning in bed the night before, alternating between feeling hot and cold, Weizhi woke with a stuffy nose.
By the time she finished breakfast, she was sneezing uncontrollably.
"It might be a dust mite allergy," Shan Chong suggested.
"Your voice sounds nasal. It's not just dust mites," he countered.
Shan Chong bent down to adjust the scarf around her neck and secured the hat on her head.
"Be careful not to develop a fever. The moment you get home and the temperature scanner alerts, a dozen people in protective suits will swarm you, pin your face to the ground, and drag you off. You'll get the full 14+7 isolation package, spending New Year's Eve alone in a hotel room watching the Spring Festival Gala. Your New Year's Eve dinner might include an extra egg in your boxed meal if you're lucky."
"...Why are you suddenly trying to scare me?"
"You look cute. I couldn't resist."
He said this with such a serious expression, not even flinching an eyebrow.
His vivid description made him sound almost like a psychopath, but he didn't seem to realize it.
Weizhi thought he might have potential as a creative writer.
She swatted his hand away, about to scold him when a young man with a sour expression approached them from a distance—
Although his face was covered by a mask, making it hard to tell if he was scowling, this person had a naturally grumpy face, so it wasn't unfair to assume.
The naturally grumpy-faced man was carrying two snowboards, one in each hand.
He stopped next to them and tossed one of the boards to Shan Chong, who caught it deftly and turned it over to examine the base.
It was an old custom model with a cold, gleaming base.
The edges had been meticulously trimmed and polished, indicating it was well-maintained.
"What are you looking at?"
Dai Duo's tone was distinctly unfriendly.
"I just waxed it. You're welcome."
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Weizhi standing nearby.
After a moment's hesitation, he looked down at her shoes.
She was wearing snow boots today.
"She has a cold. She's not skiing today," Shan Chong explained.
Weizhi hesitated, then gave him a reproachful look, implying that they were in the ski equipment hall and she could easily rent skis and boots if she wanted to ski.
However, the man's chauvinistic spirit suddenly awakened.
He met her dark eyes meaningfully and said, "Do you want your face pinned to the ground?"
Weizhi: ".........."
Dai Duo: "?"
Shan Chong: "Still want to ski?"
Weizhi took a deep breath and smiled, saying, "Oh, I won't ski."
Dai Duo, unaware of the context, looked at Shan Chong in confusion, thinking it strange that his girlfriend was so obedient, giving up skiing just because he said so...........
He also seemed visibly relieved—
This wasn't a big, crowded ski resort where you'd run into acquaintances everywhere. Here, you hardly saw anyone, let alone women.
