Shen Zhi hurriedly chased after him, but the person was no longer at the top of the stairs.

Shen Zhi found the waiter at the door and asked:

"Was the person who just went down surnamed Shen?"

This is the VVIP floor, and every customer is registered.

After checking, the waiter gently shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Zhi, that gentleman came with Professor Shu. I don't know if his surname is Shen."

Shen Zhi composed herself.

That wouldn't be Shen Linchuan.

Professor Shu is their training instructor this time, so he must have seen their student list. If he were an older brother, he wouldn't have failed to come to him when he saw his name.

But...it really does look like it.

Shen Zhi stared blankly at the empty staircase.

After Guan Xing and Liang Yang finished their meal, they realized Shen Zhi was missing. They rushed to look for her and found her standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking pitiful.

Guan Xing's heart tightened, and he compromised:

"Ancestor, shall we take you there? We'll take you there, okay?"

The emptiness in Shen Zhi's heart was instantly dispelled by this news:

"really?"

Liang Yang nodded: "But you have to listen to us. You can't go up to the higher levels. If there are too many people, we'll come back. If you feel even slightly unwell, we'll end it immediately."

"good!"

Shen Zhi excitedly dragged the two of them to buy her a set of school supplies.

An hour later, Shen Zhi stood on the ski slope like a little polar bear, and like a fish returning to the stream, she rushed down the slope in a flash.

Joyful laughter drifted out muffledly through the mask; Shen Zhi's happiness could be felt even from a distance.

Guan Xing braced himself on his snowboard with one hand and rested the other on Liang Yang's shoulder:

"Brother, if those five doting boyfriends find out we brought Zhizhi skiing, do you think we'll still be allowed to set foot in Country S?"

Liang Yang crossed his arms, his gaze following the pink figure, his tone filled with a sorrowful resignation:

"The answer is obvious, of course it is not."

"But we're already at the ski resort, and Zhizhi loves skiing. It would be too cruel not to let her ski."

"Exactly!" Guan Xing nodded in agreement, then said with a "what the heck" attitude, "We're already here, who would know if we didn't say anything?"

After all, the two of them had done this kind of thing quite often over the past nine years.

It's really hard to resist when Zhizhi acts cute.

The ski resort is right next to the hotel, so Shen Zhi could even ski directly to the hotel entrance and then go back to sleep.

The ski slopes are long and wide, and there are few tourists.

Shen Zhi was agile and always managed to easily avoid the few people around her, gliding freely and comfortably.

The training camp's testing venue was the hotel's tiered conference room, so you could see the ski slopes just by looking out the window.

On the snow-white slopes, that rose-pink figure stood out conspicuously, instantly catching the eye.

Shen Linchuan was inspecting the candidates midway through the exam when he discovered that three people had left the exam room early.

It's Shen Zhi again.

Her exam paper was clean and tidy, and the answers were presented in a very concise and straightforward manner.

Moreover, all of them are correct.

When writing his name, he made a soft hook at the end, which made him look a little playful.

Shen Linchuan stared at it for a long time, then lowered his eyes to hide the deep look in them.

Every time he sees this name, he gets a strange feeling in his heart.

It felt like I had lost something important.

If he tried to think about it any harder, it felt like his brain was being stabbed hard with an awl, forcing him to stop in pain.

He looked up and turned his gaze back to the ski slope outside the window, where the pink figure was still gliding.

The technique is skillful and fluid, and the posture is light and graceful.

Despite having two skis under his feet, he can stand steadily with his feet together, and when gliding, his posture is relaxed and carefree, as if he is flying on a sword, agile and unrestrained.

Without any evidence, and without even being able to see the other person's face clearly, Shen Linchuan was inexplicably certain in his heart that the person was Shen Zhi.

The man, who rarely smiled, had a very faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

As the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Shen Linchuan withdrew his gaze, the tenderness in his eyes fading, and he returned to his indifferent and aloof demeanor.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a neatly pressed white shirt and a dark knitted vest, which outlined his slender yet upright figure.

The cuffs were casually rolled up to the forearms, revealing the smooth lines of the wrists, on which wore a low-key yet luxurious watch.

Every gesture he makes exudes a sense of aloofness, as if keeping strangers at bay.

"Stop writing and put away your books."

His voice was deep and cold, without a trace of emotion, yet it carried an undeniable authority. The candidates in the examination room immediately stopped writing, tidied their papers, and handed them in quietly and orderly.

He Yu noticed Shen Linchuan right when she was taking the exam. This man is so handsome.

And he's not only handsome, he's also very talented.

Even her usually picky father praised Shen Linchuan highly, mentioning him to her many times as a rare genius.

He Yu strode forward, a deliberately gentle smile on her face, and took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Shen, would you like to have lunch with me?"

Shen Linchuan didn't even glance at her, his tone indifferent and devoid of any warmth:

"Sorry, I've already eaten."

He Yu was not giving up and wanted to say something more.

Shen Linchuan spoke directly, severing her hopes with a single sentence:

"I just saw that you got the first fill-in-the-blank question wrong. I'll have a good talk with Mr. Walsh about your studies later."

He Yu's smile froze completely: "...Thank you."

"Of course, farewell."

He Yu watched Shen Linchuan walk out of the examination room with bated breath, and stomped her feet in anger.

A friend who was fairly familiar with her stepped forward and reminded her:

"He Yu, don't even think about it. That teacher is Ava's boyfriend."

"Who told you that?"

"I saw them arrive in the same car when I left this morning. And Ava doesn't even have to participate in training camp, but she still came along. What else could it be but her boyfriend?"

The girl looked on with envy:

"Ava is so lucky! Her family is rich and powerful, she's beautiful, and she even found a boyfriend who is handsome and outstanding. It's so enviable."

Since he was Ava's boyfriend, He Yu gave up on the idea.

Because her family wasn't as wealthy as Ava's, and her own father had to work for Kennedy, she knew what was more important.

He Yu stopped worrying about it. She had arranged to go skiing with her friends during her lunch break, and she needed to get there quickly.

Shen Zhi hadn't enjoyed skiing so much in a long time. Usually at her family's ski resort, her brothers would always restrict her, making her stop and rest after an hour of skiing, afraid that she would get tired.

But as anyone who skis regularly knows, an hour is just the time when you get really into it.

Hearing Guan Xing and the others chasing after her, Shen Zhi decided to speed up and secretly shake them off.

In order to catch up with Shen Zhi, Liang Yang encountered a skier who suddenly fell. He didn't have time to brake and could only go around him. However, because he was using a snowboard, the snowboard kicked up a cloud of snowflakes on the slope when he leaned over, and it all splashed onto the skier.

Colin was so angry that he started cursing, using extremely offensive language, even bringing undeserved misfortune upon Liang Yang's ancestors.

Liang Yang frowned slightly, feeling displeased.

He didn't crash into them, and it was the other person who suddenly fell and lay across the ski slope. If it weren't for Liang Yang, someone else would have crashed into them.

But thinking that he had splashed the other person with snowflakes, he said apologetically in a low voice and left in a hurry.

Seeing Liang Yang leave like that, Colin angrily chased after him.
