Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 128

Xu Wanxing reached out and hammered his chest a couple of times. Lu Yanbai immediately frowned and asked, “Baby, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xu Wanxing silently lowered his hand, slightly embarrassed. “It’s nothing, just a bit of tightness in my chest. Don’t worry.”

Xu Wanxing walked to Lu Yanbai’s side and looked at his posture in the wheelchair. Because he had to accommodate the leg in a cast, Lu Yanbai’s pants were unusually thin.

Xu Wanxing frowned. “Hubby, why don’t you skip this? It’s very cold outside, and it’s difficult for you to wear all the gear right now.”

Lu Yanbai shook his head, taking a blanket from the side and covering his legs. “This works, doesn’t it? Let’s go. My leg is fine, Baby, it’s nothing.”

Xu Wanxing couldn’t talk Lu Yanbai out of it, so he stood behind him and helped push the wheelchair.

The four of them set off in a grand procession.

The weather was excellent today, and there were more people on the slope than yesterday.

Xu Wanxing arrived at the familiar beginner’s area, pushing Lu Yanbai’s wheelchair, his steps gradually slowing.

He was a little afraid.

It was right here yesterday, not far ahead, that he had collided with Lu Yanbai, and they had tumbled in the snow together.

Lu Yanbai had protected him.

He was completely unharmed, while Lu Yanbai not only broke his leg but also gained a scar above his eyelid.

A small scar on that face, like a Deity under the Moonlight, was a shocking sight.

Anyone who saw it couldn’t help but feel regret.

Xu Wanxing stopped, feeling somewhat anxious.

Lu Yanbai noticed his nervousness and patted the back of Xu Wanxing’s hand. “Don’t be scared, Baby. I’m here. Don’t worry.”

Xu Wanxing felt like crying but couldn’t. He was more scared precisely because Lu Yanbai was with him.

But he didn’t dare to tell Lu Yanbai directly. He also wanted to learn how to ski and make a strong impression in front of Lu Yanbai.

Suddenly, a small figure with cute pigtails appeared ahead, bouncing along.

Xu Wanxing watched for a few seconds and suddenly realized it was the little girl who had bumped into his waist yesterday.

The little girl saw them too and pulled her mother towards them.

Her mother smiled and greeted them.

Xu Wanxing was curious: “Isn’t your little darling usually skiing in the toddlers’ area? Why is she in the beginner’s area today?”

The little girl immediately puffed out her chest and stood proudly in front of her mother before her mother could speak. “I’m here to ski. The toddlers’ area yesterday wasn’t fun; it was too easy.”

Her mother quickly stroked the little girl’s head, her voice carrying a sense of helplessness: “Don’t listen to her nonsense. My little darling fell in the toddlers’ area yesterday, bruised her knee, and cried terribly. I’m just bringing her here to watch others ski. She can’t possibly ski here.”

Seeing her lie exposed, the little girl was embarrassed and angry. She stomped her foot and ran away. Her mother, concerned, greeted Xu Wanxing and his group again and quickly chased after her.

Xu Wanxing felt inexplicably flushed. He was such a grown man, yet he was as timid as a mouse, not even as brave as a little girl.

He immediately pushed Lu Yanbai to a vantage point, asking Lu Yanbai to watch him ski from there.

From this spot, they could see the entire beginner slope. The view was excellent, a rare and perfect viewing spot.

However, there weren’t many people here. After all, who would bother to watch people ski on the beginner slope? Everyone who wanted to watch would go to the intermediate or advanced slopes. What was there to see on the beginner slope?

Only beginners.

This spot was quite high, but the wind wasn’t strong, and the surrounding insulation was very good.

Xu Wanxing felt much more reassured leaving Lu Yanbai here.

He waved to Lu Yanbai and followed Shen Yuxian and Lin Yao to learn to ski.

This time, Shen Yuxian taught very seriously and strictly.

If Xu Wanxing made just one mistake, he would see Shen Yuxian’s face darken. He wouldn’t speak to teach him the correct move, just stare at him like that.

Xu Wanxing realized the atmosphere was too strange and quickly looked at Lin Yao, his eyes pleading.

Lin Yao cleared his throat, bypassed Shen Yuxian, and guided him a bit.

Xu Wanxing learned quickly, grasping the concept right away.

But when it came to actual practice, he inevitably tumbled.

Half of his body was buried in the snow.

Lin Yao saw it and quickly tried to pull Xu Wanxing out, but someone beat him to it.

Shen Yuxian grabbed Xu Wanxing from the snow. His eyes were dark. After making sure Xu Wanxing was steady, he immediately let go of his hand.

Xu Wanxing had been relying on Shen Yuxian’s hand to stabilize himself. With Shen Yuxian’s release, his steps became unsteady, and he stumbled and staggered before finally regaining his balance.

Lu Yanbai saw this scene from above and instinctively clenched his fists.

He saw everything—Shen Yuxian’s unceremonious attitude towards Xu Wanxing.

Lu Yanbai spat out the words through gritted teeth.

“Shen—Yu—Xian.”

He shouldn’t have invited him.

But regretting it now was useless.

Xu Wanxing excitedly skied around the slope haphazardly.

After mastering the basics, Xu Wanxing went up to the place where he had fallen yesterday—that small, high slope.

As he climbed, he felt a surge of boldness in his heart, wishing he could spread his wings like an eagle and ski for them all to see.

But now, standing at the top, he realized fear was unavoidable, and his heroic ambition was constantly fading.

Shen Yuxian and Lin Yao were standing not far away. Lin Yao kept waving to cheer him on.

He knew that besides them, Lu Yanbai was also watching him, only Lu Yanbai was watching from a higher and more distant vantage point.

Just as Xu Wanxing was hesitating, he suddenly saw two familiar figures not far from Shen Yuxian and Lin Yao.

One big and one small—it was the little girl and her mother.

From this distance, Xu Wanxing could only vaguely see the little girl’s two pigtails, bouncing up and down in his vision like thin threads.

She looked very excited.

Much more excited than he was, standing here with the cold wind biting his face.

The little girl pulled her mother closer to him, and Xu Wanxing heard her voice.

“Hurry and ski, Big Brother! You’re so brave, daring to ski from such a high place. You’re amazing.”

Xu Wanxing’s face, hidden by the goggles, was flushed. He rarely heard such direct and genuine praise.

Xu Wanxing put his hand on the edge of his goggles, making a “go” gesture towards the distance.

He didn’t know if Lu Yanbai could see his gesture; everything looked tiny from up there. But he knew that as soon as he skied down, Lu Yanbai would see his courage.

Xu Wanxing pumped himself up, his eyes fixed firmly on the slope in the distance.

In the next second, a striking splash of color appeared in Lu Yanbai’s vision—the color of Xu Wanxing’s clothing.

Orange.

Like a streak of orange light, it rushed straight down from the peak, coloring the lonely and dull snowfield, making it vibrant and powerful.

Lu Yanbai’s hand grasped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

His hand was mostly healed, with only a layer of pale pink remaining.

But at this moment.
