- Chapter 114 - Hands Covered in Bloodstains
He and Lu Yanbai worked together to pull Xu Wanxing out.
When Lin Yao descended from the snow groomer, sniffing, he saw Xu Wanxing’s face covered in white patches.
Large patches of snowy debris coated his hair, eyebrows, nose, face, and lips.
Lu Yanbai’s expression softened considerably, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile. He reached out to brush the snow from Xu Wanxing’s face.
The snow on his skin was easy to remove, but the flakes on his eyebrows and hair stubbornly refused to budge.
The tiny, white crystals clung to them motionlessly.
Xu Wanxing’s eyes were still dazed.
He didn’t know how he had fallen just now. He had only taken a few steps outside, forgetting that he was still on the Snow Cat.
He thought the flat, thick snow surface could support a person’s weight, unaware that the ground beneath was hollow.
The Snow Cat’s large tracks were halfway buried in the snow, yet he hadn’t noticed.
When he stepped, his entire body sank.
His head was inside, his feet were sticking out, and he couldn’t breathe. He almost suffocated.
Lu Yanbai was both exasperated and amused. He patted Xu Wanxing’s face, saying, “Baby, snap out of it. Stop spacing out. Did you get knocked silly when you fell?”
Large patches of red covered Xu Wanxing’s face. This redness was especially prominent against his fair skin.
It was from the cold after smashing into the snow.
Paired with Xu Wanxing’s blank stare, he looked particularly foolish.
Lin Yao stared at Xu Wanxing, momentarily lost in thought, until a sneeze forced him to quickly avert his gaze.
He said sourly, “Stop dawdling. Let’s go quickly and grab the snowboards for skiing. Xu Wanxing, aren’t you supposed to have classes on Monday? Cherish your playtime.”
Some words of concern were stuck in his throat, simply refusing to come out.
Shen Yuxian stood beside Xu Wanxing, his hands tucked into his pockets. The pockets of this coat were extremely thick and warm.
Therefore, no one saw his hands trembling, or how red and swollen they were inside his pockets.
When human hands are exposed to an extremely cold environment and then return to a slightly warmer one, they suddenly become very hot.
Given the current extremely low temperature, the situation was even more severe.
Shen Yuxian’s hands were throbbing, numb, and itchy. He could even feel the veins on the back of his hands jumping rhythmically.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Xu Wanxing noticed that Lu Yanbai’s hand, touching his face, was unusually hot. He looked down and saw that Lu Yanbai’s long, beautiful hand was red and purple.
Xu Wanxing’s heart immediately leaped.
Lu Yanbai’s skin was cold white and flawless; any mark on it would be extremely obvious.
Even more alarming was the large patches of purple-red covering both hands, which looked quite frightening.
Xu Wanxing anxiously asked, “Why aren’t you wearing gloves? You were just wearing them! Why did you take them off? They’re frozen like this! Don’t your hands hurt?”
Lu Yanbai’s fingers subconsciously curled inward. He looked at Xu Wanxing, his gaze clear.
“The silly baby fell just now. It was hard to pull you with the gloves on, so I took them off in a hurry. It’s okay, baby, I’m not cold.”
Xu Wanxing held Lu Yanbai’s hands, his eyes full of concern. Lu Yanbai’s hands were exquisite and delicate, like works of art. Anyone who possessed such beautiful hands would cherish them immensely.
Yet, the owner of these hands didn’t seem to care. Lu Yanbai lightly patted Xu Wanxing’s hand, his tone gentle, “It’s okay, baby. Let’s go.”
Lin Yao, choosing to ignore the scene, was already walking ahead, regretting a hundred times over why he had invited these people to play.
He was force-fed PDA even before they got to the slopes.
Who could be more miserable than him?
Xu Wanxing held Lu Yanbai’s hand and followed Lin Yao. They were being openly affectionate, the two of them seemingly inseparable.
Shen Yuxian walked last, his hands in his pockets, watching the hands clasped in front of him. His eyes were deep; no one knew what he was thinking.
He could barely tolerate the itchiness before, but now he could feel every drop of blood under his scorching skin clamoring and surging, the sensation ranging from itchiness to pain.
Shen Yuxian took his hands out of his pockets and scratched them. This time, he didn’t put them back in. Both hands were exposed without any protection, swaying by his sides.
Shen Yuxian walked behind, acting as if nothing was wrong.
If someone were beside Shen Yuxian at that moment, they would see that the backs of his hands were covered in bloodstains, large patches of them, looking extremely shocking.
Coupled with the highly raised blue veins, his hands were disfigured.
Xu Wanxing was struggling, sinking deep with every step. The accumulated snow reached the middle of his thighs, and he was gasping for breath.
It was too difficult to walk in this snow.
He wasn’t short, standing at 181 cm. He couldn’t imagine if a shorter person walked here; they might be entirely buried.
The ski resort was not far; they could see a few buildings of the resort as soon as they got off the Snow Cat.
But this short distance almost exhausted him.
Finally reaching the resort, the excitement on Xu Wanxing’s face was replaced by fear and worry.
He didn’t know how to ski. He had only suggested skiing to boost the relationship between Lu Yanbai and Shen Yuxian.
The staff had already brought out the snowboards. Lu Yanbai urged him to go inside the house to change into his skiing gear.
Xu Wanxing looked troubled, “How about you guys ski, and I’ll just watch on the side.”
Gliding down from a high mountain peak on a snowboard—just the thought of it was terrifying.
It felt both free and dangerous.
Lu Yanbai chuckled, “Didn’t you, baby, say you wanted to come skiing? Are you scared now?”
Xu Wanxing was about to agree with Lu Yanbai when he was suddenly bumped in the waist.
He stumbled forward, then held his waist and looked back. He saw a little girl with pigtails putting on her goggles.
Beside her was a beautiful woman, presumably her mother, holding children’s snowboards.
Seeing her daughter bump into someone, the woman immediately apologized, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. Sweetie, say sorry to Big Brother.”
The little girl looked at Xu Wanxing curiously, “I’m sorry. Big Brother, can you ski? Mommy says skiing is super fun, but I think it’s scary.”
The woman stroked the little girl’s head, saying gently, “Of course Big Brother can. Skiing is so simple. Look, Big Brother and his three friends must all be skiing experts. Sweetie, you can definitely learn too. Let’s go, Mommy will take you to the children’s area.”
She waved at Xu Wanxing and walked away with her daughter.
The excuses on Xu Wanxing’s lips instantly vanished. Even a child so young was going to learn to ski, yet he, an adult, was backing out of fear.
How embarrassing.
Shen Yuxian looked at Xu Wanxing, who was still hesitating, and frowned, “Xu Wanxing, if you don’t know how to ski, we can teach you. But if you’re really scared, you can just sit in the house.”
Lin Yao folded his arms, watching the show from the side, occasionally sniffing. He had no intention of skiing. His cold made him dizzy and weak. He’d just watch the drama unfold.
After a fierce internal struggle, Xu Wanxing said without hesitation, “I’ll learn!”
A little bit of skiing! I’ll conquer it in no time!
I’m going to show my body who the boss is!
