Shi Xi went outside and winked at Lin Zeran, who was standing by the roadside, "Let's go skiing."
"Is that all? Brother Jiang really not taking him?" Lin Zeran's eyes lit up immediately. He glanced at the detached house and asked with a grin, taking the skis from Shi Xi's hand.
"No, don't take him," Shi Xi said. "Let him rest for a while."
"Let's go then." Lin Zeran pulled an orange-flavored hard candy from his pocket, nudged Shi Xi's shoulder, and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you want one?"
"...You're giving up already? I thought you were going to try to persuade me a bit more."
Isn't he the person you've been longing to see?
Shi Xi glanced at him and saw that he really didn't want to bring up the topic, so she assumed that he also wanted Xiao Wanjun to rest.
He took the candy from the other person, unwrapped it, popped it into his mouth, and said, "Let's go."
"Are you going skiing?" Jin Chen, who had just come out of the small building, deliberately quickened his pace to catch up with the two people in front of him.
Shi Xi turned her head and saw Jin Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
What is he doing here?
Jin Chen did not appear in the original storyline.
Could it be that they're here on behalf of the Jin family to intimidate me?
It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't interfere with the storyline of Qin Huaixi and Xiao Wanjun.
Jin Chen was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that the person next to Shi Xi was Xiao Wanjun, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Zeran.
However, Xiao Wanjun and Lin Zeran looked similar from behind, so he couldn't tell them apart for a moment.
Jin Chen looked at Lin Zeran, who was slightly taller than Shi Xi, with a slender figure and a handsome and cheerful appearance. He was completely different from Xiao Wanjun.
He heard that gay people are very promiscuous and often change boyfriends.
But I never expected that Shi Xi, who seemed so clean and principled, was also this kind of person.
How long has it been? He's already got a new boyfriend?
Jin Chen felt a little disappointed.
"I'm going too, shall we go together?" Jin Chen stepped forward familiarly and said.
"When did Brother Jiang meet Director Jin?" Lin Zeran asked Shi Xi.
Although he had never worked with Jin Chen, he had heard rumors about him.
Jin Chen himself is not a particularly outgoing person; on the contrary, he never takes the initiative to make friends with people, let alone to travel with them.
"We've met once before," Shi Xi said casually.
Shi Xi glanced at Lin Zeran on her left, then at Jin Chen on her right, wondering how it had turned into a threesome.
I'm still the sandwich filling in the middle.
"Director Jin can ski?" Lin Zeran glanced at Jin Chen, but his attitude towards him was not enthusiastic.
"No." Jin Chen paused for a moment before answering.
"...Judging from your expressions, you all seem to know how." Jin Chen glanced at Shi Xi before continuing, "Perhaps..."
"Let Zeran teach you; he's good at skiing," Shi Xi, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly suggested.
"Sure." Lin Zeran lifted his skis and said modestly, "My skills are alright."
Jin Chen's face remained expressionless. He exchanged a glance with Lin Zeran and said emotionlessly, "Thank you for your hard work."
There weren't many people at the ski resort. Shi Xi watched as Lin Zeran diligently taught Jin Chen... The two of them never strayed too far from him, as if they were afraid he would run away.
Shi Xi analyzed in her heart—
Lin Zeran was afraid that he would go to Xiao Wanjun, while Jin Chen probably wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Shi Xi remained calm, waiting to receive the message before retreating immediately, completely ignoring the two's subtle actions.
'Bang--'
Jin Chen accidentally fell at Shi Xi's feet. He glanced at Shi Xi, who looked slightly surprised but was trying to suppress her laughter, and subconsciously avoided her gaze.
From Shi Xi's perspective, Jin Chen looked like he hadn't expected to stumble in front of her, and his face turned red with anger.
Just like teapot bubbles.
Shi Xi smiled slightly, then, out of courtesy, reached out to help him up. "Director Jin."
Jin Chen was stunned for a moment. Before his outstretched hand could touch Shi Xi's, Lin Zeran grabbed his hand and helped him up.
"It's normal to fall down when you first learn, just get up on your own." Lin Zeran said with a smile, standing between Shi Xi and Jin Chen, though his smile had a slightly formulaic quality.
"I'll take you over there to practice a few more times." He pulled Jin Chen along and slid up the slope not far away.
Jin Chen was pulled away before he could even speak.
...
Shi Xi glanced at the two people who were still teaching, then took out her phone; there were no messages.
Noticing the time, he was a little puzzled. Why hadn't the plot started yet?
According to the script, he should have left at 10:30, but it's almost 11 o'clock now.
Shi Xi sent a message to the assistant to ask if there was anything going on at the company.
The other end quickly replied: "Everything is normal, please rest assured, Mr. Jiang."
Shi Xi: "..." Very good, my heart that was hanging in suspense has finally died.
The plot ultimately fell apart because of him.
Undeterred, Shi Xi made up an excuse and was about to send it to Xiao Wanjun when she received a text message from him asking for help first.
Jiang Feng, my stomach hurts.
? ? ?
What happened? Qin Huaixi didn't go to take care of Xiao Wanjun?!
Seriously, Qin Huaixi, why did you have to mess things up at such a crucial moment?!
Shi Xi hesitated for a moment, then decided to go back and take a look.
"I have something to take care of. You guys continue, I'll head back now."
The two skiers paused, Lin Zeran almost losing his smile. He put his hand on Shi Xi's shoulder and said, "Is something wrong with Xiao Wanjun?"
Shi Xi nodded upon hearing this. "His stomach has started hurting again."
Jin Chen felt that Lin Zeran's actions were a bit too intimate. Since he was not Shi Xi's new boyfriend, he shouldn't be putting his arm around her.
To avoid misunderstandings.
"...How about we go back? It's almost lunchtime anyway, we can come back in the afternoon," Jin Chen suggested.
Shi Xi was about to say no, and let them continue playing for a while, when she heard Lin Zheran chime in, "Let's go back, I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's go back," Shi Xi said.
Anyway, their residence is in front of mine, so if anyone has to go back, it's them who should go back first.
...
When they returned to their small building, Shi Xi found Xiao Wanjun lying on the bed, curled up in pain, her face pale.
The condition was much worse than when I was in the car.
"?" I've already taken medicine, so why is it still so serious?
Shi Xi frowned and looked at Xiao Wanjun, "How did it get worse again?"
Xiao Wanjun sat up, pulled Shi Xi into a tight embrace, buried her face in Shi Xi's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Someone just came by."
"Hmm? Who's here?" Shi Xi asked knowingly.
"Qinhuai West." Xiao Wanjun's voice was still muffled, but it couldn't hide the disgust in it.
"I hate him," Xiao Wanjun said to Shi Xi.
Every time Qin Huaixi appeared, he would have bad luck. Xiao Wanjun even suspected that the other party was there specifically to bring him misfortune.
"Huh???" Shi Xi was shocked.
Why do you not only dislike your protagonist (the seme) but also hate him?!
