Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Jiang Chongyan turned over and pressed her down
Where Xin Tong was standing at this moment was an empty layer of snow.
There was snow on the surface, but underneath it was nothing. Behind her was a cliff with a slope of nearly 80 degrees.
The moment Xin Tong felt that he had stepped on empty air, his heart stopped beating for two seconds.
At that moment, her mind was completely blank and the whole world was in slow motion in front of her.
This was a foreign land, a foreign country, a vast, snow-capped mountain. No guide, no rescue, no equipment. In the desolate mountains, blanketed in white snow, in a sparsely populated valley halfway up the mountain, two words clearly emerged in her mind in those two seconds:
"It's over".
After falling for about a second, I felt my foot suddenly step on something hard and raised, like a strange rock sticking out of a broken wall, stuck in the snowy cliff.
The rock saved her. Her feet instantly had something to stand on. She struggled to maintain her balance, her hands frantically grasping at everything around her, but she could only grab the scattered snowflakes. Countless flakes of snow exploded above and in front of her, blinding her and unable to look down at her feet.
After four or five seconds, a dark shadow suddenly appeared above.
The falling snow obscured their vision. He tried to reach out but couldn't, their skin barely brushing against each other. At that moment, the stone beneath her feet finally gave way, and her heart sank. As she descended, she was forcefully pressed into a broad embrace, and they rolled down together.
…
The head was spinning and I felt dizzy.
The snow cliff is nearly 80 degrees, with dead branches, broken walls, huge rocks and thick snow, and an unknown abyss below.
Everything happened so fast that she had no chance to react. Her heart nearly jumped out of her body, and she felt as if she were overwhelmed by fear.
Rolling down, the world was all white, the only sound in her ears as she rapidly descended. Two strong arms held the back of her head and waist tightly, and she could only feel the man's pounding heartbeat and his scorching body heat. The cold snow poured down her neck.
——Suddenly her back hit something hard.
This blow almost made her vomit blood.
The two were finally caught in the middle by this heavy blow, and their endless descent finally stopped. Only when they felt themselves lying flat on the ground did the intense fear finally begin to dissipate, and then the dense numbness all over their bodies began to scream with pain.
Xin Tong struggled to open her eyes, and her body hurt almost every time she moved.
She struggled to sit up and looked around.
This is the bottom of the cliff, below the slope of the fir forest.
There was an extremely thick layer of snow beneath me. If I hadn't been lying down with a large area of force applied, I would have been completely sunk in. There was no one in the world, only blue sky, white snow, black trees, and the whistling wind in my ears.
Xin Tong was dizzy and dazed after the fall. He quickly checked his whole body and found that although it hurt, it was bearable and should not be a big deal.
She immediately turned her head and looked around.
Sure enough, I found a black sleeve sticking out from above the thick white snow not far away.
She stumbled over. The man had sunk deep into the snow.
Xin Tong started digging the hole frantically and dragged him out with force.
He was already 1.88 meters tall, big and heavy, and in his ski suit, he was quite heavy. Xin Tong struggled to get him out, frantically slapping his face, "Jiang Chongyan! Jiang Chongyan!"
It wasn't until the moment he turned the man over that Xin Tong saw that a corner of the man's bright red goggles had shattered. Tiny cracks stretched from the corner all the way to the center of his eye.
Xin Tong was stunned for a second.
Then he quickly and carefully removed the goggles from his face.
The two of them rolled down the hill together. My head was held tightly in his arms, and his hands were always placed on the back of my head for protection, so I was completely fine.
But he had no protection.
Ski goggles are different from ordinary glasses. They are made of special impact-resistant materials and will not deform or break in most cases.
I don’t know how many serious collisions he helped me block along the way, which led to even my goggles being broken.
"Are you okay? Where does it hurt? Are you hurt?"
Xin Tong was panicked and her voice was shaking.
Hearing her words, the man's tightly closed eyes finally opened a crack.
The pupils were dark and clear, and the high bridge of the nose cast a light shadow on the corners of the eyes.
He blinked slowly.
Then his gaze shifted to look at her.
The moment the two looked at each other, Xin Tong finally relaxed.
I'm awake, that's all.
There was still snow on his chin, and Xin Tong helped him brush it off.
His lips were extremely pale and his brows were furrowed, as if he was enduring pain in his body.
Xin Tong touched his whole body,
"Does it hurt here?"
"here?"
"Chest? Knees? Elbows?"
"Are there any broken bones?"
She touched his entire body, from the collarbone all the way down to the chest muscles, abdominal muscles, thighs, calves, and finally paid special attention to the key area between his legs - but the next second, someone grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Chongyan narrowed his eyes and said nothing, just looking at her.
Xin Tong was anxious to prove herself and raised her left hand which was not caught by him.
"I swear, I'm definitely not taking advantage of you!"
"This last part is so important, it must be carefully examined! I would feel so guilty if you lost an important function because of me!"
"Believe me, I touched you all over when we first met. There's no need for me to touch you again in this critical moment!"
“…”
Jiang Chongyan's mouth twitched.
He almost laughed out of anger, lying on the ground, his chest heaving, staring at her with his back teeth clenched.
Xin Tong raised her hand to prove herself, but she didn't know whether he believed it or not.
His wrist was released, and he said coldly that he wouldn't die. There was no need to check.
He said he was fine, but his expression didn't look like he was fine. Xin Tong saw that he didn't have any broken bones, but he did have some bumps on all the corners from rolling all the way down. He didn't know if he had any internal injuries.
The next second, she suddenly noticed a dazzling red color in the white snow under the man.
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly lifted his hair, only to find that the back of his neck was cut by a sharp ice spike and was bleeding.
The glaring red color made Xin Tong's head buzz.
You have to stay calm at times like this, Xin Tong said to herself.
In the desolate mountains and wilderness, there was no help from heaven or earth. Both of their skis were gone. They fell in this unknown place. The snow was too thick and deep, and it was impossible for them to get down the mountain on their own.
She looked around.
The two had rolled down very far and were already at the lower half of the slope, surrounded by steep woods.
She pulled out her phone and checked it. It was running very slowly in the cold, and there was no signal, so she could only confirm the map coordinates offline. She then dug a small walkie-talkie out of Jiang Chongyan's pants pocket, but after turning it on, she was disappointed to find it was useless.
Climbing Asahidake Daisetsuzan is at your own risk. Starting from the foot of the mountain, there are various warnings along the way, such as "getting lost", "hypothermia", and "avalanche". There is no rescue, and if you encounter difficulties, you can only call the police for help.
The two had fallen to the lower slope of the snowy mountain, which was no longer high, close to the foot of the mountain. However, they were in a valley, with few people around. The dense, primitive forest swayed in the wind, making the search difficult.
Xin Tong stood up with difficulty, looked to both sides, then walked to a slanted tree, stepped on the split branch in the middle, and climbed up a short distance.
Sure enough, the phone had a faint signal at a high altitude. Xin Tong's eyes lit up, and he quickly called the police, briefly describing the situation and the scope in English.
The call was incredibly delayed and choppy. A ten-second conversation took over a minute to get through. Finally, she got confirmation from the other end that they'd been notified and would send someone to look for her immediately. She was delighted, but the next second the signal was gone. The call was disconnected, and no matter how hard she tried, there was no signal.
——Fortunately, I finally got in touch with the outside world.
At this moment, the only option for the two of them was to wait here.
Xin Tong came down from the tree and sat back next to Jiang Chongyan with a sad face.
She didn't expect something like this to happen today. Her beautiful dream turned into a nightmare. She had just recovered from the shock of almost being suffocated, and then she and Jiang Chongyan fell all the way down the snow cliff and rolled into an unknown valley.
Xin Tong looked at the man in front of her.
The young master lay there with his eyes closed, resting. His brows were still slightly furrowed, as if he was enduring pain. His blond hair was a mess, speckled with snow, and his usually neat clothes were frayed, looking rather disheveled.
If he hadn't met her, he would have slid down the mountain safely. She suddenly felt like she had implicated him.
"No words, are you scared?"
The eldest young master suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
Xin Tong blinked but said nothing.
Her mind was blank, staring at the other person's collarbone.
But as I watched, that little bit of compassion slowly changed.
Jiang Chongyan was in a state of panic and vulnerability.
In the wilderness, a snowy world. He lay in the snow, his golden hair scattered across it. His eyes were slightly closed, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly. His nose was high, the tip red from the cold. His lips were tightly pursed, and his jawline was smooth and sharp, extending all the way down. His collar was open, revealing the distinct shape of his collarbone.
In fact, Xin Tong has seen countless men and has her own unique definition of handsome men.
She believes that a man's handsomeness lies in his jawline, neck, and back of the head. If these parts are good-looking, they have a different kind of charm than the face and body, and will have a hazy hormonal feeling.
But these parts of Jiang Chongyan are extremely beautiful.
He's a classic boned handsome man, with low body fat, thin skin, and almost no flesh on his face. From the side, his jawline is sharp, clear, and smooth. Years of dancing have given him a good physique, with a long, straight neck. Even the back of his head is round and beautiful. He looks good with almost any hairstyle, whether his hair is down or tied up.
She stared in silence.
...What a handsome little guy who was injured in the snow battle.
Well, compassion has degenerated into lust.
After not hearing a reply for a long time, Jiang Chongyan opened one eye, only to find that the woman was staring at him - when he looked down, he saw that the collar of her ski suit was untied, exposing a large area of her collarbone. From his perspective, he could see the faint outline of her chest and the muscles in the middle.
!
Jiang Chongyan understood instantly, his face darkening, "You..."
"Don't talk, don't talk. You're a patient. I'll take care of you."
Xin Tong eagerly picked up on his words, her eyes sparkling as she moved to his side and enthusiastically straightened his collar. However, after a long struggle, it only ended up ripping it even wider.
In the icy snow, his breath turned into ice, revealing large areas of skin. His collarbone was three-dimensional, and below that, the faint outline of muscle was visible.
As they watched, their two little hands pressed on it. Through the lining, the fabric was soft, and they pressed accurately on the most bulging part.
"..." Jiang Chongyan was furious, his face darkening terribly. He grabbed her arrogant claws and said, "What a time it is, and you're still thinking about this!"
"When? Now is not the time when our lives are hanging by a thread."
Xin Tong had just made a rescue call and now had a clear idea of what was going on, so she was in a pretty good mood.
"Don't worry, I just called the rescue team. We're not at a high altitude right now. I also gave them my exact coordinates, so they'll be able to find us easily. I came to Japan with my parents this time. If I don't return home tonight, they'll definitely send someone to look for me. I won't die."
Xin Tong is a playful person. No matter how big the problem is, she regards it as a life experience.
Since I won’t die, I can be saved in a few hours.
Then all of this can be regarded as a grand play.
She became very lustful, and the claw that was not caught continued to move down.
One person tried to touch him, the other tried to block him. Before Xin Tong had touched him enough, she looked up and was met with the man's extremely aggressive gaze - the next second the world spun around, and he threw her backwards and pressed her down on the snow.
Her eyes widened, "You, you are not hurt!"
The eldest young master looked down at her, his eyes cold and sharp, and he sneered.
"Did I mention I was hurt?"
"The wound on the back of the neck is so shallow that there's no need to stop the bleeding. It will stop on its own soon."
"It was a bit painful falling all the way down, but it wasn't my first time alpine skiing. I've had many more injuries while dancing than this."
Xin Tong panicked, "Let me go."
"I won't let go." The man pressed down inch by inch, his aggression and attack almost locking her in and surrounding her. "I retreated a little bit and you pounced on me. Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?"
The pain of her wrist being held tight was getting worse and worse. Xin Tong struggled, "Let go! Let go! You lied to me, Jiang Chongyan, you big bad guy! I was worried about you just now. If I had known you were okay, I wouldn't have bothered to ask about your well-being!"
The two men started fighting in the snow.
Wrists entangled, unwilling to give in, competing with each other, neither willing to give in. One moment they were pinned down by the other, the next moment they were on top. This physical struggle had no ambiguity, it was all about the desire to pin the other down and gain the upper hand.
But after a few minutes, Xin Tong's hands and feet became weak and she had no strength left. In terms of strength, how could she compare to Jiang Chongyan? She stared at the man on her body, panting.
The eldest young master rode on her, holding her hands on both sides of her head, and stared at her for a while.
Said suddenly.
"What did you mean by being my grandfather's apprentice?"
"What have you been doing during this time?"
Xin Tong rolled her eyes.
"That's what I mean."
"Don't underestimate me. I've learned a lot from your grandfather over the past three weeks. A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. I'm going to work hard and surprise everyone!"
Jiang Chongyan was silent for two seconds, then spoke.
"What conditions did he give before he agreed to teach you?"
Xin Tong shook her head, "No conditions."
Jiang Chongyan didn't believe it.
"Before, I gave you a task to go home for dinner every week. What is it this time?"
"Really not," Xin Tong answered seriously. "I have a very good relationship with your grandfather now. He's old, and old people really need company. He's obsessed with watching short plays now, and no one around discusses them with him. I'm the only one who relies on his recommendations every day."
Seeing Jiang Chongyan's increasingly silent expression, Xin Tong suddenly had an idea and realized it.
"Oh, I see. You think your grandfather is willing to teach me on the condition that I become his lobbyist, convincing you to give up dancing and return home to become the heir to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Chongyan gave her a neutral look, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
"Don't worry, he won't. Based on my time with him, I think he's actually quite optimistic about your achievements in dance. It's just that he's not good at expressing himself and doesn't want to lower his face to say these things to you."
Jiang Chongyan sneered.
"He never thought highly of me."
"He really didn't think much of you before. But the die is cast. You've already achieved world champion status and resolutely left without even spending a penny of your family's money. He knows you're serious. Individual ideas should be respected. Since you've decided to make dance your career and pursuit in life, he'll let you go."
"The reason he's so persistent in wanting you to go back is, on the one hand, because family ties don't want you two to continue to grow apart, and on the other hand, once you, their only son, leave, the Jiang family truly will be left without an heir."
"well."
As a complete bystander, Xin Tong knew Jiang Chongyan's resolute rebellion and Jiang Yuanbin's lonely persistence. Neither side seemed to be wrong, she shook her head and muttered to herself.
"Are all things in this world so difficult?"
Xin Tong muttered casually.
"It would be nice if you weren't the only child in your family."
"Since you have something you like, then let the other one be the heir."
Jiang Chongyan suddenly stopped.
After a while, he whispered.
“…Actually, there is another one.”
Huh? Xin Tong was shocked. "Really? ... But aren't you an only child? Everyone in the industry knows that you are the only heir to the Jiang family in this generation!"
Her question drifted away in the wind, without waiting for an answer.
Jiang Chongyan lowered his head. Suddenly he raised his eyes and stared into hers, asking.
"He really said that?"
It seemed like a nonsensical question, but Xin Tong understood what he was asking.
"Um."
She nodded and looked straight into the eyes of the man on top of her. Her tone was focused and serious, and she didn't want to see either of them unable to remove the thorn that their family had planted in their hearts for many years because of misunderstandings and emotions.
"He really said that."
"He thinks it's amazing that you have achieved what you have today."
"Because you are really amazing."
Xin Tong raised the corners of her mouth, a smile hung on her brows, and her pupils were bright and moist.
"I think you're amazing, too."
The two looked at each other.
Suddenly they both froze.
They all realized the awkwardness of their current posture at this moment.
The fight in the snow just now came back to my mind. The movements and entanglements that originally had no other meaning suddenly became evidence of blushing and heartbeating.
Despite the icy snow, the air seemed to warm in an ambiguous way. The young man's eyes were slightly droopy, with noticeable bags under his eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly reddened by the ice and snow, adding a touch of tenderness to his expression. His pupils were clear and dark as he stared at her intently, the moles at the corners of his eyes and on his left cheek clearly outlined before her eyes.
…Xin Tong began to hear her own heart beating wildly.
Suddenly, something seemed to float down and fall into her eyes.
She blinked impatiently.
Both of them were stunned and looked up.
The blue sky had been covered with layers of heavy, dark clouds, and overhead, a heavy snowfall had begun. The flakes were light, drifting and scattered on the wind, swirling and falling across the silvery world of ice and snow, landing simultaneously on the two bodies intertwined in the snow.
"Jiang Chongyan, it's snowing."
Xin Tong spoke blankly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind suddenly became stronger.
The man stared at her and found that there were white snow particles hanging on her eyelashes.
He suddenly straightened up, his face grim as he said, "Maybe it's a snowstorm."
Asahidake Daisetsuzan has a very unpredictable climate and experiences heavy snowfall. A sunny day a few hours ago can be followed by a devastating blizzard the next moment.
Jiang Chongyan had just finished speaking when the visibility around him suddenly became extremely low. The strong wind blew up the heavy snow, and within just ten seconds, it brought the sound of howling wind. Everything around him turned white and could no longer be seen clearly.
They both thought to themselves that this was not good.
"The visibility is too low, and it will be difficult for rescuers to find their location once a snowstorm hits."
"And we can't stay here any longer. We have to find someplace to hide."
Jiang Chongyan quickly stood up and walked in front, with Xin Tong following behind.
He had long legs and walked fast. In fact, the two of them were only two meters apart in the snow, but his tall figure quickly disappeared in the wind and snow.
Xin Tong followed with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She couldn't see clearly and fell, panicking. After the fall, the distance between them widened. She could no longer see the man in front of her. It was as if she was the only one left in the world.
Xin Tong got up in a panic and couldn't help but shout in fear.
“…Jiang Chongyan!”
Unexpectedly, I immediately heard the answer from the man in front of me.
"exist."
She was stunned to see the man stopped and waited for her in the raging snowstorm ahead.
He was wearing a black ski suit, his face becoming increasingly blurred in the wind and snow, but his movements were firm.
Extend a hand clearly to her.
She was lost in thought for a moment, then immediately extended her hand.
Holding hands, they stumbled forward in the storm. The strong winds threatened to blow her down time and again, but the warmth of another man's palms burned hot. The tall figure in front of her blocked the wind for her, like her only support amidst the endless snow-capped mountains, vast valleys, thick snow, and irresistible nature.
