A few days later, the snow stopped, the sky was clear blue, and the sunlight shone on the thick snow, reflecting a dazzling light. The ski resort in the mountain resort became lively.
"Yunmeng, the weather is so nice today, why don't we go skiing? It's not good to stay stuck in the house all the time."
Qin Yuheng suggested enthusiastically, and looking at Ning Yunmeng's still pale face, he quickly added.
"Just play on the beginner's track. I'll teach you. It's safe! Get some exercise, work up a sweat, and you'll feel better."
Ning Yunmeng looked at the crystal clear snow world outside the window under the sunlight, then looked at Qin Yuheng's eager eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded gently: "...Okay."
Qin Yuheng was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements. Soon, the two of them changed into top-notch ski suits.
Qin Yuheng wore a bold, bright red, while Ning Yunmeng opted for a more elegant, smoky pink that complemented her temperament and made her face appear even more delicate. A professional ski instructor was already waiting nearby, his attitude respectful.
Standing on the gentle slope of the beginner's trail, Ning Yunmeng looked at the long snowboard at her feet, looking somewhat bewildered. Her beautiful brows knitted slightly, a hint of timid bewilderment in her. This look further aroused Qin Yuheng's strong desire to protect her.
"Don't be afraid, Yunmeng, it's very simple! Lower your center of gravity and watch me demonstrate!" Qin Yuheng took a stance. He had good skiing skills and slid smoothly in a small circle on the gentle slope with graceful movements.
Then he slid back to Ning Yunmeng and stretched out his hand, "Come, hold my hand, I will guide you to slide down slowly."
Ning Yunmeng hesitated, stretched out her hand wearing thick ski gloves, and gently placed it on Qin Yuheng's hand.
Her hands were small, and even through the thick ski suit and gloves, Qin Yuheng could feel the slenderness and slight trembling (he thought).
"Relax, lean forward a little..." Qin Yuheng instructed patiently, carefully leading her and sliding slowly on the gentle snow slope.
Ning Yunmeng seemed really "clumsy", her body was stiff, her snowboard kept slipping uncontrollably, and she almost fell several times. It was only thanks to Qin Yuheng's tight grip that she was able to stabilize her body.
Every time she was in danger, she would let out a short cry of surprise, and her body would involuntarily move closer to Qin Yuheng for support.
"Ah!" Once again, Ning Yunmeng seemed to lose her balance and fell to one side with a scream.
Qin Yuheng was quick to act. He immediately dropped his ski poles and hugged her tightly with both hands, pulling her into his arms.
Ning Yunmeng's cheek was almost pressed against his thick ski suit, and her rapid breath with warm air sprayed on his neck.
She seemed frightened, her body trembling slightly in his arms. She looked up at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes misted with a layer of mist, and she was panic-stricken, like a frightened deer.
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm here!" Qin Yuheng's heart was beating like a drum, and his arms around her tightened unconsciously. Feeling the slender and soft body in his arms, a warm current mixed with protective desire and strong possessiveness instantly swept through his body.
The ski instructor had already tactfully retreated to a distance.
Ning Yunmeng froze in his arms for a moment before she seemed to come to her senses. She struggled slightly, a faint, just-right blush appearing on her cheeks. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "...Thank you, Brother Yuheng."
She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes fluttered restlessly like butterfly wings.
This gesture of wanting to refuse but also to accept, this shy and timid bow of the head, was like a fire, completely igniting Qin Yuheng's emotions that had been suppressed for many days.
He almost wanted to lower his head and kiss those tempting red lips immediately, but his remaining rationality made him hug her tighter. He then reluctantly let go, his voice a little hoarse: "Ahem... Be careful. Take your time, there's no rush."
In the following time, Qin Yuheng stayed by Ning Yunmeng's side almost every step of the way, all his attention was focused on her, all her clumsiness became cute, and all her dependence made him intoxicated.
Under his dedicated "protection", Ning Yunmeng occasionally revealed a faint smile that seemed to bloom because of him. In Qin Yuheng's eyes, this smile was more dazzling than the sunshine after the snow.
As night fell, the snow-covered mountain villa became as tranquil as a paradise. Dinner was served in the private dining room of the "Xuejian" suite. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the snow reflected the cold moonlight and the warm lights of the villa, a beauty that seemed otherworldly.
Exquisite dishes, flickering candlelight, and melodious classical music.
Ning Yunmeng changed out of her ski suit and put on a soft beige cashmere dress. Her long hair was loosely tied up, revealing her slender and graceful neck.
She ate in small bites with graceful movements, and the candlelight danced on her face, making her look particularly gentle and quiet.
Qin Yuheng looked at the girl across from him, feeling completely content, as if he owned the whole world. He attentively served her food and poured her wine (Ning Yunmeng only took a sip), chatting about light topics. The atmosphere was warm and ambiguous.
After the meal, Qin Yuheng suggested that they go to the hot spring pool on the terrace to soak in the water to dispel the cold, and Ning Yunmeng didn't refuse.
On the terrace, steam from the hot spring pool mingled with the chilly air, creating a thin layer of white mist. Stone lamps by the pool emitted a soft, dim glow.
Ning Yunmeng, wrapped in a thick bathrobe, sat by the pool, dipping her slender, fair legs into the warm water. Qin Yuheng, on the other hand, soaked directly in the water, his back against the wall, sighing comfortably.
The surroundings were utterly silent, with only the gentle gurgling of the hot spring water and the subtle crackling of pine branches snapping under the weight of snow in the distance. Moonlight shone brightly on the snow.
"It's so nice here..." Ning Yunmeng murmured softly, her voice filled with a vague sense of melancholy as she gazed at the silhouette of the snow-capped mountains in the distance under the moonlight. "It's so quiet... It seems like I can forget all the unhappy things."
