Chapter 38: High-end mate selection criteria for ski resort entertainment
Quan Yi's efficiency was surprisingly fast. Within two days, he sent an address, which was a snowy city in the Federation Star Zone.
The Quan family built a new hot spring hotel here, and can hold birthday parties there. There are also special ski resorts and hunting areas nearby, so there is plenty of room for fun.
"As long as it's not related to study, he can handle it at lightning speed." Lancelot curled his lips and conveyed the news to Youan, although he looked a little reluctant at the time.
Holidays are a great opportunity to overtake others. In the past, Youan would definitely not go.
But considering that his GPA was still the highest and it was Lancelot's birthday event, Youan agreed without hesitation.
On the eve of his departure, he was busy until the early morning, packing the gifts he had prepared into his suitcase and piling the clothes he would wear the next day by the bed.
You An was like a child who was participating in an outing for the first time. He carefully counted the items several times before he fell asleep contentedly while holding You Tuan Tuan.
The next morning, You Tuantuan was still snoring in his sleep, and Youan had already put on his thick snow suit and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Lancelot waiting in the living room.
He was wearing a casual camel-colored windbreaker with one hand in the coat pocket, and a pair of leather boots on his strong long legs. He was wagging his tail leisurely and saying good morning to the stunned dwarf rabbit orc.
He has a noble temperament and is very handsome, but——
You An couldn't help but say, "We're going to the ski resort, not to receive an award. You're really not going to be cold like this?"
Lancelot said quickly, "It's not cold."
"Oh..." Youan patted his bulging snow suit, hesitating whether to change into a thinner one. He couldn't help yawning because of his sleepiness.
He has fair skin and the dark circles under his eyes are quite obvious, as if he had applied a layer of eyeliner.
"Why are you yawning so much?" Lancelot couldn't help but frown. He took out a micro-therapeutic device and swept it around his eye sockets. He squinted and asked, "What did you do last night?"
"Nothing, I just stayed up a little late reading." It was common for Youan to lack sleep.
Besides, what college student doesn’t stay up late?
He rustled his tail out from under his clothes and turned his head to say, "Am I wearing too much? Wait a minute, I'll go change my coat."
Euan felt like a clumsy penguin standing next to Lancelot.
"Oh, that's not a problem." Lancelot threw away the healing device and nodded with satisfaction. "It's fine like this. It's very cold in that place, and the wind blows like a razor, it can peel you into rabbit skins."
"Really?" Youan looked at Lancelot, who was dressed completely out of place for the season, with a bewildered expression, "But you—"
Lancelot interrupted with a smile: "I am naturally afraid of heat."
Youan smacked his lips, half-believing and half-doubting, and stopped talking, thinking to himself, you are not an Arctic fox.
Two hours later, the starship bound for the Federal Snow City finally landed smoothly halfway up a mountain. The elegant hotel with a beige and gray tone was nestled neatly in the valley. The surrounding distant mountains were covered with snow, and the dark green spruce and fir forests separated the pure snow slopes from the exposed dark rock walls.
As soon as he walked out of the cabin, Youan sneezed in the cold air. His ears moved and a shout came from not far away.
"round and round!"
"Asia!"
The chestnut rabbit in a down vest nestled in Youan's arms, licking its paws. When it heard the familiar loud voice calling out, it excitedly poked its head out, twisted its butt, and pounced over.
Asaiah caught it steadily, picked up the little rabbit ball and spun around happily, then pressed his face, which had been coated with facial cream, against the rabbit's cheek, rubbing it affectionately, with a happy purr coming out of his throat.
"Tuantuan, it just snowed here. Are you feeling cold?" Asaiah, who was dressed warmly himself, pinched You Tuantuan's exposed little paws and asked with concern.
"It's not cold." You Tuantuan was very excited and touched the slightly red tip of Asaiya's nose with his little paw, "I'm at room temperature!"
Compared to the children's enthusiastic reception, adults are much more reserved.
Enzo and the others arrived earlier than Youan and his friends, and were already drinking hot tea and chatting on the terrace of the wooden house near the ski resort.
Youan followed Lancelot and took a quick look. He found that most of them were familiar faces he had seen when he moved that day, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s okay, the social pressure is not that great.
"You guys came just as the snow stopped. Your timing is perfect." Quan Yi hurried over and smiled and winked at Youan who was standing behind Lancelot. "Hey, Bunny King, you're dressed quite cute today."
Youan smiled sheepishly, took out a handful of fruit candies from the big pockets on both sides of his snow suit, and gave them to him generously.
Quan Yi took the candy, thanked the Lord loudly, and stuffed one into his mouth with great satisfaction. Then he saw Lancelot looking around and asked lazily, "Didn't you say your cousin was coming?"
"I arrived yesterday and am at the ski resort."
Quan Yi turned his head and waved towards a distance. A figure on the snow slope quickly stepped on the skateboard, and after a few beautiful consecutive changes of edges, the skateboard landed steadily at the edge of the terrace.
"Hello." Xu Qingzhou pushed his goggles to the top of his head, casually pulled his collar down, and exhaled big breaths of hot air from his smiling mouth.
Lancelot raised his eyelids and looked Xu Qingzhou up and down with a bit of scrutiny and usual pickiness, and countless scoring data appeared around him.
It is indeed the same as the information secretly investigated. He has a clean family background and looks okay, but he had a relationship during college, so he must be deducted points and given a bad review.
Lancelot didn't think there was anything wrong with cricketing about others in his heart. After all, not every cat or dog could get close to his rabbit.
Xu Qingzhou bumped fists with Enzo and the others, then walked towards them with hot tea. Before he could speak, Lancelot suddenly moved sideways to block his view.
"Your scarf seems a little thin, try mine instead." Lancelot took off his own and wrapped it around Youan's neck, while tidying up the hanging part to ensure that no strands of it got tangled or knotted.
The cloth, still retaining the other person's body temperature, was close to his skin. The base of Youan's tail trembled slightly. He quickly lowered his eyes and said thank you.
Except for Xu Qingzhou who had a hint of surprise in his eyes, the others were no longer surprised. Who wouldn't be happy to serve the Rabbit King?
But without the scarf, the chilly wind blew directly onto his exposed neck. Quan Yi couldn't help but hiss and nudged Enzo with his elbow: "Is he really not cold?"
This is really the stupidest question in the world. Enzo was too lazy to answer it and sneered through his nose.
Asaiah looked up, his big eyes full of confusion: "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Enzo shrugged. "I just realized today that it's not just dead ducks who are stubborn."
＊
The snow on the ski resort was being flattened, and Asaiah and You Tuantuan could no longer wait and ran out of the cabin to play in the snow.
Recently, several large snow apes were detected in the hunting forest area and separated by a safety barrier. Enzo let them play nearby, and would beat anyone who ran away.
Asaiah readily agreed and stopped obediently not far from the terrace, with the ambition to make many little snow rabbits in the image of You Tuantuan.
The young masters were crowded in the wooden house, drinking hot tea while watching the snow scene, enjoying cheese and ham slices, and discussing the revenue plan of Quan Yi's new hotel from time to time.
The teacup in Lancelot's hand gradually cooled down. He had no intention of adding a new one because his peripheral vision was always focused on the two people standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and chatting.
"The last time I went back to school to watch the talent show, I ran into Professor Laura. She showed me a few of the projects you wrote..." Xu Qingzhou brought up the light screen and motioned for You An to look at it. "I'm very interested in this one about optical computers assisting transformation in actual combat. Can you tell me more about it?"
"Of course!"
Youan knew that the other party worked in the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and was also an outstanding graduate of Kagano. Hearing that he had carefully read his project report, he was very happy.
One spoke patiently and the other listened attentively. Everyone else thought the picture was quite harmonious, except Lancelot, who rolled his eyes. Couldn't he just stand straight? Why did he have to get so close?
"Okay, what are you doing sitting in there?" Enzo, perhaps fed up with the subtle sour smell around him, stood up, stretched, and waved, "Come on, Lance, let's go play ball."
When Youan heard it, he thought it was some high-end sport and looked over curiously.
Surprisingly, when Enzo said playing ball, he meant it literally.
As Quan Yi threw a golden ball, a group of orcs directly transformed into beast forms and rushed out of the wooden house, howling.
Enzo and Lancelot each led a team, and the leopards and cats chased the golden ball happily, leaving messy plum-shaped paw prints on the freshly flattened snow.
There are also eagle-like orcs flying in the sky to supervise, and if they see anyone breaking the rules, they will swoop down and peck at them.
Youan couldn't concentrate on the academic discussion anymore. He ran to the nearby area with his scarf wrapped around him and saw a red fox that stood out against the white snow.
He leaned over and gently arched his nose at the golden ball, then nimbly moved among the group of big cats, his fluffy tail leaving a slight trace behind him as he followed quietly.
Enzo immediately became dissatisfied with his relaxed appearance and he rushed forward relying on his big size.
Lancelot cunningly crouched down and rolled twice. When he got up, there were a few crystal snow grains on the tip of his black nose, which moved slightly with his breathing.
He pushed the golden ball ostentatiously, circling it around Youan's legs.
"You are so awesome, Lancelot." Youan kept rubbing the fox's big head and praised in surprise.
Of course.
The beautiful red fox whimpered twice, and saw from the corner of its eye that other big cats were about to chase it. It immediately pushed the ball away with its front paws, and followed quickly with its tail wagging proudly.
I didn't expect that he could play the simplest game so enthusiastically. Enzo licked the snow on his paw pads to take a break and called Asaiah who was not far away to come and play.
Asaiah shook his head and refused: "No, that's so rude."
He had a plush bag hanging on his chest and put You Tuan Tuan inside, for fear of bumping the little rabbit. He walked much more gracefully. Now he was giving a speech to a row of snow rabbits and couldn't move away at all.
Youan actually wanted to join, but he was too small and if he went, he would probably be treated like a ball.
He was about to watch the game with a cup of hot tea, but Xu Qingzhou came over and invited him to go skiing with him.
Youan scratched his head: "Thank you, but I don't know how to skate..."
Xu Qingzhou laughed and said, "I can teach you how to avoid falling."
Finally, You An, driven by curiosity, put on his snow gear and headed for the wide snow slope. He didn't know how to use it, having only seen it in advertisements in shopping malls. But he learned quickly and with great courage.
As soon as I learned how to control speed and brake, I dared to take my snowboard and run to a slope that was quite difficult for beginners to try skiing.
However, after just a few dozen meters, he fell as soon as he turned a corner. Xu Qingzhou was a little dazed. Worried that he would be embarrassed, he brought the protective pad and suggested moving to a flatter place.
"Don't worry, I'll try it myself." Youan stood up and patted the snow off his tail. He didn't take the protective pad and continued to slide down tentatively.
Xu Qingzhou probably didn't expect that this man, who looked docile and well-behaved, actually had a stubborn temper. He watched him for a while but didn't try to persuade him. He just followed him quietly.
"How's it going?" Quan Yi walked across the snow to the red fox, who was squatting under a pine tree, grooming its fur. Together they looked out at the nearby snow slope. "Is my brother a good guy?"
Lancelot shook the snow off his fur collar and replied lazily, "It's just okay."
Quan Yi frowned and looked a little unhappy.
Xu Qingzhou comes from a wealthy family and is young and promising. Compared with second-generation rich people like them, he is exactly the "other people's children" that parents talk about every day. He thinks Lancelot is a bit too picky.
Quan Yi crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Then tell me, what kind of person is worthy of You An?"
Lancelot narrowed his eyes, his tail swishing in the snow, as he seemed to begin to seriously consider the issue. "First of all, your family background can't be too poor. At the very least, you need to be registered in the A district of Granton, with assets of A8 or above. You must also be generous to your partner."
Quan Yi nodded: "Yes, it should be, material support is the foundation."
"You have to be good-looking. You know, my mother taught me that a husband's beauty is his wife's glory."
"Indeed, it's too ordinary. It's not a good match standing next to Youan."
"You need to be smart but also hardworking and down-to-earth."
"That's for sure. Youan has such good grades, but if he's too dumb, we probably won't have any common topics."
"Must be a virgin in the end."
"About this..." Quan Yi was about to nod, but turned his head away. "What did you say?"
"What's the problem? Youan has never been in a relationship before. This is his first love. Shouldn't you treat your first love with such equal standards?" Lancelot yawned lazily, glanced at him with a matter-of-fact tone, "Such a generous request, there won't be anyone who can't do it, right?"
Quan Yi's face flushed red, and he hesitated. Just as he was racking his brains to come up with a reason to refute, he heard Xu Qingzhou's anxious cry from the snow slope -
"Euan!"
The dwarf rabbit orc who had just rushed out of the steep slope failed to slow down in time, lost his balance and rolled twice on the ground, and fell headfirst into the thick snow pile in a somersault.
Quan Yi was stunned for a moment, and was about to run over to pull the person away, but he saw a faster figure rushing towards that place in his peripheral vision.
"Are you stupid? Who told you to play like this? If your head becomes stupid and you can't write a paper, you'll see who you'll cry to then." The irritable red fox had none of his usual elegance. He pulled the man out of the snow pile and kept scolding Youan with his ears flying.
Youan shook off the snow on his head, showing that he was a little noisy. He grabbed a ball of snow, kneaded it, and fed it directly into the mouth of the red fox, freezing it.
Unfortunately, before Youan could chuckle for a few seconds, a brute force came towards him and pressed him to the snow, with furry claws constantly reaching into his neck.
Lancelot narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You're still feeding me snow, aren't you? You're done, Youan. I won't let you get up unless you beg for mercy!"
"Hahaha, it's itchy, sorry, hahaha..." Youan kept grinning foolishly, grasping the red fox's triangular ears with his palms and pulling them twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
Quan Yi was originally jogging towards them, but he stopped after a few steps.
He stared at the scene in front of him without blinking, recalling his previous criteria for choosing a partner, and the broken string in his mind suddenly connected!
Fuck!
