Chapter 218 The Flexible Source

The car wasn't going very fast, so it took them two hours to arrive at the hotel.

As soon as she got out of the car, Chaochao could clearly feel that it was much colder here than in the city, but luckily she was fully bundled up and dressed warmly.

If the temperature were like this in Shangliu Village, she might have frozen solid during her first winter.

They were staying at a hot spring hotel. As Fang Kaichen helped them with their luggage, he explained, "The ski resort we came to isn't very famous, but it's less crowded and much quieter than those well-known ski resorts. I specifically chose this one so we can have more fun."

Especially for children, what if they get bumped into in a crowd?
Fang Kaichen felt that he had considered this very thoroughly.

Not to mention this hotel, although it's expensive, many rooms have private small hot spring pools. For example, the room he booked for Jian Yunsang and Shen Ruochu had a private hot spring pool, which was cleaner and provided more privacy, making them feel more at ease while soaking.

Jian Yunsang glanced at him with some surprise. Fang Kaichen knew that this was Chu Chu's aunt, and immediately put on an even brighter smile.

Chaochao looked around curiously. Although she had stayed in hotels several times, this was her first time in a hot spring hotel. Especially after entering the room and seeing the steaming hot spring pool in the courtyard behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mom, is the hot spring always this hot?"

Jian Yunsang took all the clothes out of her suitcase. "Yes, they'll stay warm. What's wrong? Want to soak in a hot spring now?"

Chaochao immediately shook her head, "Sister Chuchu said we can soak in the hot springs when we get back. It's a good opportunity to relax after playing. We should go to the ski resort first."

Jian Yunsang chuckled, "Alright, then I'll listen to your sister Chuchu. Come on, let's change our clothes first."

Chaochao obediently changed into quick-drying clothes.

As darkness fell, the people of Daqi began to talk about the hot spring.

Emperor Jingxuan couldn't resist the urge. While others might find it inconvenient to soak in hot springs, he didn't have that problem. The royal palace had its own hot spring pool, and it wasn't far away.

He rubbed his hands together, thinking that he had been diligently attending to state affairs lately, even visiting the harem less often. After working so hard, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to relax and enjoy himself occasionally.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingxuan stood up and said, "Cao Qing, make preparations for me. The Empress Dowager and I are going to the temporary palace for a period of recuperation, and we will be handling government affairs there in the near future."

Cao Qing, “…Your Majesty, are you serious? We’re leaving now?”
Although His Majesty gave no warning whatsoever, a servant must still carry out the emperor's last-minute suggestion properly.

Therefore, by the time Chaochao and the others had changed their clothes, set off by car to the free parking lot of the ski resort, and entered the lobby to collect their tickets, Emperor Jingxuan was already sitting in his carriage, looking quite content as he headed towards the imperial palace.

Holding Jian Yunsang's hand, Chaochao nervously stepped out of the hall. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a wide-open, white, steep slope in front of them, with seven or eight people rushing down from it.

Is it really that fast?

Chaochao felt her legs go weak, but Shen Ruochu beside her sighed comfortably and took her hand, "Come on, let's go up the mountain first."

Go up, go up the mountain? How do you get up there? Do you climb up?
Chaochao felt that if she climbed up, she might not have the energy to play anymore. It was so high, and it was snow, she wasn't even sure she could climb up.

As a result, Shen Ruochu led them aside, placed them on the magic carpet, and carried them directly upwards.

Chaochao looked down and exclaimed, "This looks like an elevator!"

"Yes, we're on the beginner slope now, it's a bit flatter. Don't be afraid if it's your first time skiing, we've hired an experienced instructor to teach you. And you're fully equipped, so even if you fall, don't worry."

Chaochao looked down at her gear. Hmm, her knees, elbows, head, and even her buttocks were strapped with giant turtles. It seemed she really wasn't afraid of falling. She felt a little relieved, and even a little eager to try it out.

Although those people slid down very fast, it looked like a lot of fun.

The group reached the top of the mountain. Chaochao was still adjusting her ski suit and hat, while Yuanyuan had already started warming up by twisting her waist. Then, she stood on her skis, secured her feet, and said to He Zheyan, "Brother, I'll go first."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed down.

"Brother Yuanyuan..." Chaochao's mouth dropped open as she watched Yuanyuan nimbly sidestep the person blocking his way and quickly disappear from sight.

Chaochao couldn't help but stand up, clapping her little hands excitedly, "Brother Yuanyuan is so amazing!"

He Zheyan sighed helplessly, "He's all brawn and no brain. If only he were this enthusiastic about studying. Auntie, Chaochao, take your time. I'll go check on him."

After saying that, He Zheyan gripped his ski poles tightly, pushed off the ground with a sudden movement, leaned forward slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already ten meters away.

He was clearly faster than Yuan Yuan, and catching up with him was effortless.

Chaochao was so excited watching that she couldn't wait to try it herself. She thought her two older brothers looked so cool skiing, which made her feel that she could do it too.

Until... she collapsed to the ground for the third time, her whole body numb.

Jian Yunsang chuckled and helped her up. "Did you hurt yourself?"

It doesn't hurt, but "Mom, my feet won't obey me, I can't control them."

Jian Yunsang patted the snow off her body. "It's okay, take your time. Just follow the coach's instructions. If you move forward half a meter each time, you've succeeded."

Shen Ruochu also comforted her, "Falling is normal. When I was learning, I fell much more than you."

That's strange. I learned it two years ago, so I should have been able to pick it up quickly.

Shen Ruochu could only guess that she had suffered too much in the past two years.

Everyone came to comfort her, and Chaochao felt a little embarrassed.

Especially since she hadn't learned it, none of them went to play anymore.

Even the two older brothers she had just met yesterday looked at her with encouraging expressions and kept cheering her on, making Chaochao feel immense pressure.

Jian Yunsang urged them, "Chuchu, you and your friends go have fun. I'll stay with Chaochao. We still have our coach here, so don't crowd around."

Seeing that Chaochao was starting to get shy, Shen Ruochu could only nod and say, "Okay, then we'll play for a while and then come back."

She said goodbye to her two classmates and left quickly.

However, they were all experienced skiers, and even the intermediate slopes couldn't satisfy them, let alone the beginner slopes. After skiing once, they all took the chairlift to the advanced slopes.

Chao Chao exhaled, looked at the other beginners in the area, and encouraged himself again, preparing to keep up the good work.

Who knew that as she was getting her skateboard ready and being led forward little by little by the instructor, someone suddenly bumped into her.
