Chapter 76 Definitely a Couple
Su Nian didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she could no longer see Ling Shen. She leaned her back against the iron railings of the ski resort's rest area and slowly slid down.
When I took off my snowboard, my fingers were frozen red and I couldn't even hold the buckles of my snow boots. After finally taking off my equipment, I had to fumble with the little turtle pad tied to my butt to pull it off.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, he gently rubbed the place where he had fallen through his fleece ski pants, gasping in pain.
"Well, it's definitely blue." The cold wind blew fine snow particles into his collar, but Su Nian squinted his eyes, looking for the familiar black figure on the white snow road.
Ling Shen was standing at the top of the high-level path at this moment, his brows and eyes beneath his goggles looking as sharp as knives.
He took a deep breath, and his nostrils were filled with the crisp scent of cedar. He pushed hard with his feet, and the snowboard rushed down the slope like an arrow.
The ski poles drew neat arcs on the snow, and every turn splashed crystal snow mist. The chic figure immediately attracted the attention of people around.
Cheers and whistles rang out one after another. Several tourists holding mobile phones to take pictures jogged after him, and the sound of shutter clicks mixed with exclamations filled the air.
Su Nian leaned against the warmly lit lamp in the rest area, watching the nimble figure on the slope. Ling Shen completed several challenging carving maneuvers, his black ski suit rustling in the wind, his knees slightly bent, like a black panther poised for action.
Several girls who were originally hiding in the rest pavilion and chatting suddenly rushed to the railing, their mobile phone cameras all aimed at the snow track, and the chattering discussions drifted into Su Nian's ears.
“This is so cool!”
"The angle of his turn just now was amazing!"
When Ling Shen completed his last run and gracefully put away his board at the end of the slope, the crowd immediately became agitated.
A girl in a rose-red ski suit pushed through the crowd, taking two steps at a time in her snow boots, her goggles swaying gently as she ran. "Hey, can I have your number?"
Her deliberately lowered voice was as sweet as honey, and the sequins at the corners of her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
Ling Shen didn't even spare her a glance, his gaze went straight over the girl's head and landed on Su Nian who was walking slowly in the distance.
Su Nian's ears turned red from his burning gaze, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
The girl misunderstood Ling Shen's smile and was about to speak again when she saw the man who made her heart beat faster walk around her sideways, holding Su Nian's frozen red fingertips with his black ski gloves.
"Are you cold?" Ling Shen's voice was wrapped in white mist condensed from his breath, and his other hand had already skillfully unzipped his down jacket.
The girl turned around in surprise and saw the handsome guy who was dominating the snow track just now, now wrapping the person in front of him like a dumpling with a down jacket that carried his body temperature, and gently wiping the snow particles on Su Nian's eyelashes with his fingertips.
Su Nian was used to it. He knew very well how conspicuous he and Ling Shen would be when walking together.
What's more, at this moment Ling Shen pushed his snow goggles to the top of his head, revealing his pair of peach blossom eyes that could drown people, and his cheeks flushed after skiing added a bit of charm.
Although there was a slight bitterness in his heart, he felt more proud - such a dazzling man belonged to him.
Thinking of this, Su Nian suddenly stood on tiptoe and pulled off the snow scarf covering Ling Shen's face. The moment the cashmere fabric brushed against his cheek, Ling Shen's pupils suddenly contracted. Before he could react, a kiss with the taste of mint candy had already landed on him.
Ling Shen let out a soft laugh, and put his arm around Su Nian's waist and pulled her back. The two of them slipped and fell into the snow.
There were exclamations one after another all around, and more shutter sounds recorded this fiery moment.
The girl in the rose-red ski suit stood there, staring at everything in front of her in amazement.
Until his companion gently tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's go, these two are obviously a couple."
She wailed exaggeratedly and slumped over her companion's shoulder: "Why do all good men like other men? How embarrassing is this for us?"
But the smile that could not be hidden in his eyes clearly showed that he was applauding this unexpected romantic story.
Su Nian tried to retreat breathlessly, but Ling Shen grabbed her neck and pushed her back into his arms.
The hot breath brushed across his nose, and Ling Shen whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Next time you look at me secretly, I'll be the one who's jealous."
Su Nian raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the girl who had already walked away. She hooked her fingertips on the zipper of Ling Shen's ski jacket and shook it gently: "Boss Ling, your charm has not diminished. Do you want to go skiing on the advanced slopes a few more times and get a few more admirers?"
Ling Shen heard Su Nian's teasing and chuckled. His warm breath swept across Su Nian's earlobe, carrying the freshness of the air after the snow.
He reached out and pinched Su Nian's cheek, which had gained some weight recently, stroking it gently with his fingertips, his tone full of indulgence: "No matter how great my charm is, it only works on you."
Su Nian's ears felt hot from what he said. She turned her head away to avoid the overly intimate touch, but Ling Shen held her tighter in his arms.
The two stood in the rest area below the advanced slope. Occasionally, skiers passed by, bringing with them the whistling sound of the wind, but it did not affect the two people hugging each other at all.
The sunlight filtered through the clouds and landed on Ling Shen's dark ski suit, outlining his tall figure and allowing Su Nian to see the deep tenderness in his eyes.
"Stop it, there are a lot of people watching us." Su Nian muttered softly, but her hands unconsciously wrapped around Ling Shen's waist. Even through the thick fabric, her fingertips could feel his warm body temperature.
In fact, he didn't care about other people's eyes at all, but under Ling Shen's direct and passionate gaze, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
Ling Shen glanced around as he spoke, then lowered his head and leaned close to Su Nian's ear. He lowered his voice a bit, with a hint of cunning: "What are you afraid of? You are my legal partner, open and aboveboard."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the little turtle protective gear lying on the snow next to him, gently patting the snow foam on it, "Did you get hurt when you fell just now? I saw you rubbed your butt several times."
Su Nian suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this, and his face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck. He reached out to grab the protective gear from Ling Shen's hand, but Ling Shen easily dodged it.
"It's not that painful, it's just a little numb." Su Nian said stubbornly, but her eyes were a little evasive, not daring to look directly into Ling Shen's eyes.
He fell several times just now. If it weren't for the little turtle protective gear to cushion the damage, he would probably be covered in bruises.
Ling Shen looked at his hypocritical expression, a low laugh escaped from his throat, and his eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his cold white skin.
The slender fingers passed through Su Nian's fingers, took Su Nian's hand and walked down the mountain, "Let's go, let's go back and see if your butt is swollen?"
Su Nian was embarrassed and ashamed. Holding the little turtle in her hand, she chased after Ling Shen, "What lewd words are you talking about?"
Ling Shen ran a few steps faster, "I'm talking about serious matters, you're thinking the wrong way."
"You...don't run, stop right there." Su Nian's face suddenly turned redder, and she ran after Ling Shen quickly.
