Along the way, Weizhi couldn't help but glance at the instrument panel in front of the driver's seat countless times. She thought her actions were very covert until the car went down the mountain and turned a corner.
"What are you looking at secretly?" The man holding the steering wheel looked straight ahead and asked calmly.
"..." Wei Zhi, who was caught, was not too embarrassed, "See if there are any other new lights that light up."
"It's a car, not a Christmas tree."
As soon as Shan Chong finished speaking, he was slapped in the face as fast as the wind, and a new light suddenly lit up on the instrument panel.
Weizhi immediately stood up. The excitement of "knowing the future" even outweighed her fear of the car having fault lights on everywhere and she was still sitting on it.
This excitement and restlessness slightly affected Shan Chong. Seeing the people next to him were so excited like rabbits escaping from their nests, he lowered his head and scanned the dial of the instrument panel. His tone was quite calm: "It's just that the oil level is low. Sit back."
Weizhi leaned back on the seat, holding onto the seat belt.
When they got to the foot of the mountain, Shan Chong first went to the gas station, parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out of the car with his long legs. The door was not closed, and Wei Zhi vaguely heard a conversation with the gas station staff coming from outside -
"Add two hundred dollars to a 92...wait a minute, the price of gas has gone up again? Last time it was six dollars and a half, and it's already six dollars and nine in just a few days?"
"Oh yes, it has risen sharply in the past few days!"
"Then just add a hundred."
…
"Adding a hundred won't get you very far!"
"It's okay, I'm not going anywhere."
The man's voice was always neither hurried nor slow, and he sounded as if he had never woken up - but that was nothing, except when he was standing on his skis and cursing on the snow, he always spoke in this tone...
Even typing on WeChat seems listless and lazy.
Weizhi was sitting in the passenger seat and couldn't help looking out through the window of the driver's seat -
There was a shadow swaying outside the window. She watched as a man in a white hooded sweatshirt picked up the gas gun and walked around to the side of the car. Maybe the gas gun was not long enough, so he tried once and came back to pull it again.
From time to time, a white figure flashed between the windows and the gaps between the open doors.
All that remained was the sound of the oil gun.
Nothing special really.
But apart from this second, everything around seemed to disappear.
The cold air, the smell of gasoline hanging around, and the low voices of two people talking in the back seat of the car.
All were sucked into the vacuum.
Weizhi stared at the figure outside the car, a little distracted.
Three seconds later, the driver's door was suddenly opened, and the man's figure blocked the light: "Are you used to the smell of gasoline? Do you want to close the door?"
The daze was suddenly interrupted, the little girl was startled, and the whole person bounced back and stuck to the door——
The window that was covered with transparent tape made a loud "pop" sound as if it could not bear the weight.
Then it started to tremble with a "deep" sound.
Shan Chong: “…”
Shan Chong: "For these three pieces of tape, the repair shop charged me ten dollars, so I hope it can last until the New Year."
Wei Zhi quickly moved away from the door, patted his back, and muttered, "It's because you suddenly appeared and scared me..."
Shan Chong stopped talking and stared at her for a while with his eyes exposed outside the mask... His dark pupils were sharp and bright, as if they could see through everything.
At this time, Wei Zhi was very grateful for the mask. She raised her hand and pressed the mask to hide her slightly hot face. She cleared her throat and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man outside the car door looked like he wanted to say something, and at that moment the gas station counting machine stopped with a "click" sound, and he turned around to look at the machine.
He turned around and looked at Wei Zhi again.
After a while, he slowly said "It's okay", closed the door, and went to the back to get the oil gun.
After staring at the closed door for three seconds, Wei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't choose Burton when it comes to anything. Burton is always good for beginners, but I think some of Thirtytwo's country floral styles are also okay, and nitro seems to be better for men's shoes... Oh, it's so hard to choose, Jiji, did you know that Nike and Adidas also have snowboard boots?"
Jiang Nanfeng asked without even raising his head as he frantically introduced snowshoes on his phone.
There was no response for a long time.
She raised her head: "Weizhi?"
Wei Zhi was startled and turned his head with an "ah".
Jiang Nanfeng stared at Wei Zhi from above the edge of the phone: "Why do you keep looking outside?"
Jiang Nanfeng didn't mean anything else when he asked this question, he just asked casually. When Wei Zhi answered that a car outside suddenly turned into Optimus Prime, she might just laugh, but as soon as the words came out, she felt that the little girl was tense...
She blinked in confusion and asked again, "What is so attractive about the outside world?"
Lao Yan yawned in the back, half-closed his eyes while holding his phone, and said casually: "This year's Deeluxe is also pretty good... Brother Chong is outside."
Weizhi’s hands were almost pulling the car seat belt apart.
Lao Yan finished the second half of the sentence slowly: "——What are you doing? You've been doing it for a long time, don't you feel cold?"
Weizhi: “…”
Jiang Nanfeng looked at Wei Zhi, whose hair was almost standing up. She was so angry that she couldn't hold it back any longer, so she finally lowered her head and snorted, "Don't look at me."
Jiang Nanfeng: "Oh."
Weizhi: “…”
Three minutes later, the driver's door opened, bringing with it the smell of gasoline and ice and snow. Shan Chong sat back in the driver's seat and found that the car was very quiet.
Wei Zhi lowered his head and swiped his phone, his fingers moving so fast that he didn't know what he could see clearly with this refresh rate.
The two people in the back seat also have their own things to do.
"What's going on? Why is the atmosphere so tense?" the man asked. "I went downstairs to refuel for ten minutes. Did you guys take advantage of this time to have a fight?"
No one paid any attention to him.
…
The gas station is a little distance from the ski shop.
Since leaving the gas station, Weizhi has been sitting upright like an elementary school student, looking out the window. Occasionally, her WeChat phone vibrates. She picks it up to take a look, then quickly puts it down.
Then the frequency of WeChat vibrations became more and more frequent.
"Who is it?" Jiang Nanfeng asked from behind, "You are so patient, even though you are asking for my life. Can't you just reply to my message?"
Wei Zhi bit her lower lip and said, "My mother came to my house to look for me and asked why I was not at home."
"You didn't tell her you were in Zhangjiakou?"
Weizhi shook her head, feeling the driver's eyes on her, and said, "No."
"That's right. Your mother doesn't usually look for you. Why did she go straight to your house now?"
Jiang Nanfeng was a little puzzled and kept muttering to himself, but this time Wei Zhigan simply didn't say a word. He raised his hand and set WeChat to "do not disturb" messages, and the world became quiet.
Perhaps she didn’t want to talk about this topic, so she didn’t put down her phone, but clicked into the photo album to look at it randomly——
The colors of the photos I recently saved on my phone are all the same, with snow and ice everywhere...
There are little squirrels squatting on tree branches, an empty hotel skywalk, everything outside is covered in snow, snow is falling outside the window, and there is a video of them digging a hole in the mountain to bury Coke...
Wei Zhi was a little absent-minded. He opened the video and unmuted it. After the editing, the cheerful background music became the only sound in the car.
After the video was over, she ran her fingertips over the other photos one by one. When she finally swiped to a certain video, she didn't react at all. A very formal sports commentator's voice came from CCTV.
【The men's snowboard eight-meter platform competition is now starting. We can see that the Chinese athlete is getting ready. 】
Wei Zhi was stunned.
Then she felt all the energy and blood rushing to her brain, and her soul returned to its place in an instant. She hurriedly picked up her phone and tried to turn off the video.
"You are still looking at this," Shan Chong's voice has come, "Don't close it, continue."
The voice was very faint and no emotion could be heard.
"I just saw it online and accidentally downloaded it and forgot to delete it..." Weizhi squeezed out a smile uglier than crying behind the mask, "Why continue? There's nothing good to see."
"It's okay," Shan Chong said, "I know a little bit about jumping on the stage."
“…”
"put."
I don't know why, but Weizhi felt embarrassed as if he had been caught cheating - playing other skiing masters' competition videos in front of his fresh and enthusiastic master, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Just the word "放" is very murderous, hmm.
Weizhi moved his lips weakly, but in the end he was unable to resist. With tears in his eyes, he pressed the play button, and the calm voice of the commentator continued to echo in the uneasy air——
[As far as I know, this is the only athlete who has entered the men's snowboarding preliminaries... After all, snowboarding started relatively late in China and is not a traditional strong point.
OK, he started, starting with a straight foot, a straight foot inward turn of 1620 degrees, and then, oh, then a Methodgrab (*Hook your legs back, arch your front hand to grab the back edge), landed! Stand still! Very stable! Now we can hear the applause from the audience, because this is a signature snowboard jump that everyone loves. 】
…
【I’d also like to show you the sponsor logo at the bottom of the board, a custom blackboard from Burton. 】
…
[Okay, this stable landing means we can be sure that the score for this round is valid. Although it is not as difficult as the previous players, the spirit is evident.]
…
【Strangely enough, compared to other snow or ice events, the atmosphere in the freestyle big jump is obviously more relaxed. Athletes will spontaneously add some fancy moves that are not difficult to perform to express their love for this sport. The audience will also applaud generously and only give high-scoring contestants...
Now it's time to wait for the judges' scoring.
Let's take a look first. The one on the preparation platform now is Canadian athlete Bilson, the silver medalist in the last Winter Olympics snowboard eight-meter platform diving——】
The video stops abruptly.
The half of Weizhi's face that was exposed outside the mask was completely red.
After scanning the weak face of the person who just replied to his mother's WeChat on his mobile phone, the whole person stood up and tried hard to sneak a glance at the man who was driving...
Shan Chong didn't react much. He continued driving and looked ahead calmly: "Do you understand?"
Weizhi just wanted to die.
"Do you think I understand?"
“No.”
"I can't even learn how to use the straight-blade to sprint down the slope before he goes on stage," Wei said honestly. "It's enough to look good. I don't need to learn how to refrigerate when taking things out of the refrigerator."
“You can learn it later.”
"After which, in the next life?"
"Don't talk back," the man said these three words almost as a motto, and his tone was particularly natural when he blurted them out, "You can learn it if you want to in the future. If you can't jump off the eight-meter platform, flying over a snowball shouldn't be a problem... So do you think this video is good?"
“…It’s pretty.”
"Do you know who he is? You admire him?"
“I came to Chongli because I watched his game video.”
Wei Zhi was very tactful in figuring out how to tactfully explain the issue of "white moonlight" to "Crimson Mole".
Unfortunately, she forgot that there was someone behind her who was looking for fun. "What?" Jiang Nanfeng said, "Didn't you come to Chongli just for the boys on the snow track?"
Weizhi: “…”
Where's my knife?
Jiang Nanfeng: "But that's true. It's not wrong to say that you came here for him... Isn't this big guy also in Chongli and our ski resort? You ran into him by chance that day."
Weizhi suffocated for three seconds.
Wei Zhi: "I am not me without you, don't talk nonsense——"
Jiang Nanfeng: "I was splashed with water by a broken faucet, and someone came to my rescue as a hero. I took the eyeglass cloth from him, but I didn't get his contact information. I curled up in bed, sobbing all night, holding the eyeglass cloth..."
"Ms. Jiang Nanfeng!"
Weizhi jumped up!
Because he was too excited, he hit the roof of the car, screamed, covered his head and fell back to his seat!
Shan Chong seemed completely unperturbed by the chaos around him. He glanced at Wei Zhi, who was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump out of the window, and said calmly, "How come you can't even get a contact number? Are you so useless?"
Wei Zhi groaned, rubbed his head, and curled up in the chair.
Jiang Nanfeng: "Useless Dengxi."
Shan Chong: "Useless Dengxi."
Lao Yan looked at Shan Chong, then at Wei Zhi who was looking at Shan Chong cautiously, cleared his throat, slid half of his body down, and hid his face, which was about to grin, behind the ears, in the collar of his sweatshirt.
Being denied by both of them, Wei Zhi was very unconvinced: "What's the point of asking for contact information! He likes men anyway!"
Just past the traffic light.
The green light ahead was counting down, and Shan Chong stepped on the accelerator and almost broke it.
Wei Zhi's head stood up straight, and he screamed and tightened his seat belt, repeating three words in his mouth -
"Brake pads".
“Be gentle.”
And "Er Hao Mi".
After passing the traffic light, the man slowed down.
"Who told you?"
"You don't know yet?"
Wei Zhi stared at the dashboard in front of him and in front of the driver in shock, and had to bite the bullet to tell the sorrow of his love that ended before it even began, "He was also in the video of Lao Yanfa."
"What?"
"Did you see him taking off the goggles for another man in a white snow suit?"
“…”
"It's the same action, but I'm only ten times more gentle than when you took off my snow goggles."
Wei Zhi added with tears in her eyes, "It's so sweet that it makes me feel drunk. I haven't liked watching pure love movies for three to five years."
Shan Chong has never been described as "gentle" in his life.
For the first time, the object of the action is "Dai Duo"………………
Isn't it fucking worthwhile to find a trash can to spit into?
Still pure love.
He stepped on the brake, and with a "squeak" the car made a sharp sound as if the last two millimeters of brake pads were completely scrapped. While everyone in the car was randomly looking for something solid to hold on to to save their lives, the man released the handbrake.
"That person's sexual orientation is normal."
His voice was cold and silent.
Weizhi, holding the seat belt, blinked and didn't react for a moment. He looked at the man in the driver's seat. The latter lowered his eyes, and his long and thick eyelashes drooped down.
"...How do you know?" Wei Zhi asked timidly, "Do you know him?"
Shan Chong said "hmm" without any emotion.
Maybe his brain had short-circuited at this moment, Wei Zhi blurted out unconsciously: "Then what do you recommend?"
Shan Chong glanced at her.
Wei Zhi woke up in a second.
“Forget it, that’s not necessary.” The little girl put her hands together, “I already own the whole world if I have you. I won’t even look at anyone else!!!”
“…”
"Really? No matter how gentle you are, I won't even look at you. If you look at me, I'll dig my eyes out."
"Oh."
"Long live the Master."
Shan Chong unbuckled his seat belt: "We're here, get out of the car."
Wei Zhi was as if he had been pardoned, and he ran to touch the car door in a hurry.
…
Weizhi walked in front with his tail tucked in.
Dan Chong was the only one left to park the car. Lao Yan found a random excuse to stay and watched the two girls leave, lying on the back of the driver's seat like a gecko.
"I saw the video she played just now," Lao Yan said, "It was a video of your previous competition."
The man looked in the rearview mirror and steered without saying a word.
"I also decided to learn platform diving from you after watching the competition that year," Lao Yan continued, "Brother Chong, back then you were still a slut who would not forget to show your board when you were platform diving at the Olympic venues."
Hearing this, the person who had remained silent finally spoke up.
"If a sponsor gives you sponsorship, how can you not promote the product?"
“…”
What a strange way of understanding. Lao Yan sneered.
"I thought you were going to keep silent and not admit that the video was of you... I'm so precious to you that I went online to find the video of your competition and saved it on my phone. I would take it out and watch it when I had nothing to do late at night."
"I am competing seriously, not filming a movie."
"Then why don't you tell her that's you, and that the Spectacle Cloth boss is also you?"
Shan Chong thought about it seriously and asked back, "Did you see how panicked she was when she had to choose between the boss in her heart and the master in front of her?"
Lao Yan: “Hmm?”
Shan Chong had a blank expression on his face, and squeezed out two words from his lips: "Fun."
Lao Yan: “…”
Scumbags are born that way.
It has nothing to do with a rich love history.
Lao Yan didn’t believe this before, but now he believes it.
