Unexpectedly, Xie Yuancheng lectured me with a righteous expression: "Ying'er, I will not give you the opportunity to look at other men. Besides, we have important responsibilities now and cannot always be by ourselves."
"Alright, alright, you're right, let's go board the plane."
Thankfully I dragged him away, otherwise he would have started nagging me again. As soon as I boarded the plane, I was amazed. It looks like a bird on the outside, but it's so spacious inside, seating so many people, and it can still fly so high.
Xie Yuancheng and I sat in two very spacious seats. When the plane took off, I held his hand tightly, really worried that we might fall off the plane the next second.
After the flight stabilized, I looked around at the blue sky and white clouds. It was so clean. My Yu'er, I'm going to draw him when I get back. Xie Yuancheng laughed when he heard me say that.
"Ying'er, you'd better stop drawing. I'm worried that Yu'er will be frightened."
"You're bullying me."
"It's okay. I've bullied you too many times, one more won't make a difference."
Hmph, all he knows is how to make excuses. I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson later, and I'll take Yu'er with me.
I had forgotten about temperature differences. I was freezing cold as soon as I got off the plane. Xie Yuancheng carried me forward, and we first bought a set of warm clothes. I was all round and chubby.
It's already dark here, and I'm lying in bed, not wanting to move. I really can't go crazy with him. It's freezing cold here, and I have no desire to go skiing.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng leaned against me: "You promised me, I'll be sad if you don't come with me tomorrow."
I rolled over, and he moved closer again, half of his body pressing down on me.
"Okay, I'll go."
He then happily took me to take a bath. When we came out, the room was already quite warm. I looked outside and saw a vast expanse of white snow. I wondered how cold it would be tomorrow.
He took the thick clothes he bought today to the dry cleaner. He had booked the house with the shopkeeper, and he spent his money as if it were worthless.
Xie Yuancheng was looking at the dryer on his phone, propping himself up with his hand as he watched the clothes inside move. I had no choice but to follow him.
"No matter how much you look, it can't come back with us."
"Ying'er~"
I buttoned up my loose plaid jacket. Most people who come here to ski are well-off. Xie Yuancheng certainly isn't short of money. I calculated the amount I needed, and when I opened WeChat, I found I had more money in my account.
Anyway, it doesn't cost me any money. I just wish the weather were nicer. The next day when I went out, the cold wind made me take a few steps back.
"It's so cold."
"Ying'er, you are not allowed to make excuses not to go."
"No way, if you fall down, I won't help you up."
"Don't worry, Ying'er, hold my hand and don't let go, and you won't fall."
Seeing his expectant look, I hoped he wouldn't be disappointed. When we arrived at the ski resort, it was packed with people. I saw several people fall, and my heart skipped a beat.
Xie Yuancheng helped me put on all my gear and clothes before he changed. I noticed his straps weren't fastened properly, so I patted his hand and helped him fasten them again. This is a snow-covered mountain; what would I do if something happened here?
"Ying'er, you've been so good lately."
"With you here, how could I not be good?" I looked at the straps I had tied for him, and I didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Xie Yuancheng pulled me through the door and we went inside. I felt a chill run down my spine as I stepped onto the snow-covered mountain; I wondered if I was sure I could ski. We stood in a less crowded area for a while, and Xie Yuancheng observed the skiers for a few minutes before pulling me forward.
I saw that they were skating so easily, so I decided to join them; maybe it wouldn't be too difficult.
When we reached the flat snowfield, we started to get into position. We first separated our skis and stood shoulder-width apart, with our weight centered on the arches of our feet. He told me to use a full braking motion with my toes pointing inwards.
After practicing for a while, we arrived at the lowest ski slope, which is suitable for beginners. We started to try skiing down. I shifted my weight to my left foot and suddenly started to turn left. Then I shifted my weight to my right foot and slowly started to turn right.
We were quite stable as we glided down. Xie Yuancheng kept saying encouraging words in my ear, and I glided along with him. Of course, we fell several times along the way, and Xie Yuancheng fell once too.
At first, we went down the low slide a few times, then gradually increased the height. Finally, on the very high slide, I took a deep breath and followed him down, sliding down into the wind. It was so much fun!
I was initially very scared, but later I ended up dragging Xie Yuancheng along to go skiing with me. No wonder he always teases me for being like a child, wanting nothing at first but then dragging him along when I found it fun.
We skied for several hours, and when we saw the cable car above, I dragged him to ride it. It was an open cable car, so only the two of us rode in it. I looked down at the people below, and it was truly amazing that the cable car could move using only two steel cables above it.
Xie Yuancheng held my hand. Although there was a seatbelt, he was worried that if he let go, I would forget everything in my excitement and fall off the cliff.
I was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with him. I felt very cold when I went out, but after skiing, I felt completely different. Staying outdoors was better than indoors.
It was almost dark when we got back. I was so engrossed in playing that I forgot Xie Yuancheng hadn't eaten. Although I hadn't eaten either, women and men are completely different.
I ordered a table full of delicious food for him from the menu and comforted him by saying I would give him a massage that evening. Xie Yuancheng was originally massaging his hands, but when he heard me say I would give him a massage, he immediately stopped and said he would wait for me to come back and massage him.
I propped my face up with my hand and said, "You call me childish? It's you, Lord Marquis."
"Of course I'm happy to have my wife's help; it's not childish at all."
I smiled and served him some food. It was so great that there was Chinese food here, even though it wasn't authentic, it was still quite palatable. We had eaten Western food once, and Xie Yuancheng said he would never go back because the taste was too strange.
That restaurant was considered the best-rated in the city, and the elaborate etiquette was no problem for him; the Great Zhao royal family had endured far more trials than that. It was just that he couldn't stand the taste; he disliked peppery seasonings, so black pepper was unpalatable.
Actually, I don't really like it that much; I prefer dishes that are fried, boiled, deep-fried, stir-fried, or stewed.
I fell asleep while Xie Yuancheng massaged me last night. When I woke up the next day, my body was in a lot of pain. He applied hot water to a few acupoints, and I was able to get out of bed by noon after lying in bed all morning, although I was still uncomfortable.
"Ying'er, it's because you fell asleep last night. I'll take you to the hot springs, and you'll feel better tomorrow."
"How come you don't feel any pain at all?"
“When I was learning martial arts, what you’re doing was much more difficult.”
I nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and went outside. Not far from the hotel was a boutique hot spring.
