Wen Shuqiao had a lot of fun skiing all afternoon, until she got tired and Shen Jiazhou pulled her to the rest area.
After sitting down, Shen Jiazhou fetched two more cups of hot water, handing one to Wen Shuqiao and keeping the other for himself.
Wen Shuqiao took off her gloves and held the paper cup in both hands. The temperature of the hot water warmed her palms.
Shen Jiazhou sat down next to her, holding a paper cup in one hand, his gaze fixed on the people still skiing outside the floor-to-ceiling window: "Is it fun?"
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "It's more fun than I imagined."
As you slide down from a height, the wind whistles past your ears, but your heart feels free.
She took a small sip of hot water, turned her head and asked, "You've been watching over me all afternoon, aren't you going to play for a while?"
“It’s no big deal to come here again,” Shen Jiazhou said. “I’ve been here a few times before with Gu Xingyuan and the others.”
Wen Shuqiao said "oh" and held the paper cup without saying anything.
The two sat quietly drinking hot water. After they had almost finished, Shen Jiazhou took out his phone, intending to ask Gu Xingyuan if he was done playing.
Just as Wen Shuqiao was about to throw away the empty paper cup, a very handsome boy walked shyly to her side.
"Hello."
Wen Shuqiao looked up at him: "Hello, what's up?"
Shen Jiazhou was still typing when he heard the voice. He immediately looked up and stared sharply at the shy boy.
The boy noticed Shen Jiazhou's gaze, but still mustered his courage and asked, "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Before Wen Shuqiao could speak, Shen Jiazhou reacted even faster, immediately refusing: "No way."
The boy chuckled awkwardly, his gaze shifting between Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou before he realized what was going on: "Sorry, I thought you didn't know each other. Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Wen Shuqiao watched the other person's somewhat flustered retreating figure, pursed her lips slightly, and when she looked at Shen Jiazhou, she raised an eyebrow slightly: "President Shen, why are you blocking someone's love interest?"
Shen Jiazhou looked away somewhat awkwardly, picked up his cup to take a sip of water, and Wen Shuqiao said very considerately, "There's no water in the cup."
Shen Jiazhou glanced down and put the cup aside. He had already found a reason in his mind: "That person looks like a kid. Rather than getting his contact information and then getting hurt, it's better not to give him a chance in the first place."
“It’s also possible that they just look young, maybe they’re about my age,” Wen Shuqiao said deliberately. “What if?”
"There's no 'what if'," Shen Jiazhou replied without hesitation.
Wen Shuqiao stared straight at him, making Shen Jiazhou feel a little uncomfortable, but he still stubbornly said, "If someone comes up to a pretty girl and asks for her contact information, they definitely don't have good intentions! I'm just helping you cut off any unwanted suitors."
After he finished speaking, he looked down and opened his phone again: "Why hasn't Gu Xingyuan replied yet? I'll call and ask."
What an abrupt change of topic. Wen Shuqiao kept looking at him, and as expected, Shen Jiazhou's exposed ears turned red again.
Wen Shuqiao blinked lightly, vaguely sensing something. She slowly withdrew her gaze, picked up the paper cup in her hand, and was about to take a sip when she found that the water in her cup was gone.
She hurriedly put it down, glancing at Shen Jiazhou out of the corner of her eye, but he didn't notice.
Wen Shuqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she didn't see it, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing, since she had just "mocked" Shen Jiazhou for being nervous.
Shen Jiazhou was indeed unaware of Wen Shuqiao's subtle actions beside him, as he was too busy adjusting his mindset.
He pretended to play on his phone for a while, acting as if nothing had happened: "Let's go, they're back too, they're heading towards the locker room door now, let's go over there."
They were going down the mountain to their hotel to rest, and tomorrow they would explore the surrounding area. This short trip would then come to an end.
Wen Shuqiao nodded. She picked up her gloves, and just as she stood up, the empty cup in her other hand was taken away.
Shen Jiazhou stacked the two paper cups together, quickly walked to the trash can next to him, and threw the paper cups in.
Wen Shuqiao stood up and waited for him to come over before saying, "Thank you."
"It was just a small matter," Shen Jiazhou said. "Let's go, let's go, why are you being so polite?"
Wen Shuqiao smiled and said nothing more.
The two of them had to go to the dressing room entrance first. After Wen Shuqiao changed her clothes and came out, she happened to run into Yu Mingxue, who had just come in.
Yu Mingxue asked with a smile, "Did you have fun?"
Wen Shuqiao smiled and nodded, "Skiing is a lot of fun, I had a great time. I've changed my clothes and I'm waiting for you outside."
Yu Mingxue nodded and watched Wen Shuqiao leave. She was about to take the hand card to open the cabinet when she noticed her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Gu Xingyuan.
[Gu Xingyuan: I asked Chen Er if he was having fun, and Chen Er told me to get lost. Tsk tsk tsk, looks like we guessed wrong.]
After glancing at it, Yu Mingxue recalled Wen Shuqiao's smiling face just now.
She felt that there must be progress.
Everyone changed back into their own clothes and boarded the bus back home.
Five people couldn't fit in one car, so they split into two.
As soon as she got in the car, Can Can started talking about how well she skated that afternoon, how well Gu Xingyuan skated, and how well Yu Mingxue skated.
Shen Jiazhou overheard this and couldn't help but say, "In your eyes, there shouldn't be anyone who can't ski well, right?"
Can Can nestled into his arms, smiling broadly, and said, "Yes! We both skated very well! Uncle, what about you? I haven't seen you and Auntie."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao and then said, "We're sure we're good at skating too."
"Great!" Can Can buried her face in his chest. "Then next time we come, let's skate together, okay? I'm really good at it now."
Shen Jiazhou nudged his head: "You'll have to ask your aunt about that."
Wen Shuqiao, who had been resting with her eyes closed, didn't open her eyes after hearing Shen Jiazhou's words. She simply replied, "How about Cancan gives us a performance next time?"
"Of course!" Can Can couldn't wait to turn back and perform the "Baby Pig Going Downhill" act for her aunt and uncle!
Shen Jiazhou patted his back and asked gently, "Are you tired?"
It would have been better if Shen Jiazhou hadn't asked. As soon as he did, Can Can couldn't help but yawn, leaned her face against her uncle, and whimpered, "I'm tired, Uncle. Can you carry me back to my room later? I want to sleep."
"Not going to eat?" Shen Jiazhou asked with a smile.
"Of course I want to eat!" Can Can glanced at his aunt, whose eyes were closed, and he didn't know if she was asleep. He whispered in Shen Jia Zhou's ear, "When we get there, can you wake me up?"
Shen Jiazhou was wondering why he had suddenly become so quiet, but when he turned his head, he found that Wen Shuqiao had already fallen asleep.
He freed one hand and lightly flicked Can Can's chubby cheek, lowering his voice to say, "Okay."
