The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Even after punishing Colin, Shen Zhi's anger had not subsided.

It's been a long time since anyone has upset her.

No wonder the Li family was unhappy about her coming to F country; F country is indeed not as comfortable as S country.

Shen Zhi crossed her arms and skied forward alone down the slope, feeling a surge of frustration in her heart, and her speed increased with each step.

The biting wind whistled past her ears, and her figure, like a pink streak of light, unknowingly left Guan Xing and Liang Yang far behind.

"Zhizhi! Slow down! Wait for us!"

Guan Xing called out repeatedly from behind, but the girl in front seemed not to hear him at all and showed no intention of slowing down.

He hadn't forgotten that Shen Zhi had already complained of being tired, but she had gritted her teeth and skied the advanced slope again, so she must be exhausted now.

Considering her health... Guan Xing gritted his teeth and chased after her with all his might.

Where is this little rascal going next?!

Shen Zhi was angry and not focused on the ski slope, so she didn't see the silver-white figure that darted out in front of her.

By the time she realized what was happening, Shen Zhi could only quickly step aside to avoid a collision.

The sudden stop and violent swerve caused Shen Zhi's body to buckle instantly.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over me, and the symptoms of low blood sugar kicked in abruptly. My limbs went weak and I lost my balance, collapsing straight toward the guardrail.

not good!

Shen Zhi inwardly cursed her bad luck.

Even though her brain offered countless ways to avoid suspicion and stop, her body was completely out of her control.

Just as she was about to crash into the cold, hard guardrail, Shen Zhi awaited the pain that would follow.

The expected pain did not occur the next second.

Instead, a solid and reliable embrace was found.

The clean, refreshing fragrance emanating from her savior wafted into Shen Zhi's nostrils. The gentle yet steady embrace around her waist blocked all the impact, preventing Shen Zhi from rushing forward any further.

It feels so familiar.

Shen Zhi still had some consciousness left and desperately tried to open her eyes to see who her savior was.

But at that moment, her eyelids were clenched with the strength of a crocodile, and she could only see the helmet and goggles before... she completely lost consciousness and softly leaned into the man's arms.

"Linchuan, how is she? It's all my fault for not paying attention."

Ava hurriedly slid down, stood apologetically to the side, and noticed that Shen Linchuan was holding the girl tightly in his arms. Her eyes flickered slightly.

"How about I help her up?"

"No need." Shen Linchuan subconsciously pulled his arms closer, his brows furrowing slightly behind his goggles. "She fainted. Take her to the infirmary first."

For some reason, he just didn't want to hand the girl in his arms over to someone else.

That inexplicable flutter and heartache came without reason, lingering in my heart, impossible to shake off.

But he'd never even seen her before, so why did he have these feelings for her...?

Guan Xing and Liang Yang rushed over and saw the pink figure being taken away. Alarm bells rang in their hearts, and they quickly gave chase.

When she regained consciousness, Shen Zhi slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the snow-white ceiling of the hospital ward.

The room was filled with a faint, elegant fragrance, but it couldn't mask the strong smell of disinfectant in the air. My keen nose immediately picked up that cool, medicinal scent.

She had barely moved her finger when she heard a deep, authoritative voice in her ear:

"woke up?"

Shen Zhi froze abruptly, turning her head slowly like a sloth to meet Li Wei, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside the bed.

Guan Xing and Liang Yang were also standing in the corner of the ward as if they were being punished.

Neither of them had had time to change out of their ski suits; they were hanging their heads, clearly having been scolded.

He winked and gave Shen Zhi meaningful glances, finally discerning the words "Take care of yourself" from his good friend's eyes.

Shen Zhi: ……

It's over.

Is it too late for her to pretend to be asleep now?

"Don't pretend to be asleep." Li Wei saw through her little scheme at a glance, his tone indifferent with a hint of coldness.

Shen Zhi drawled out the last syllable, her face a picture of utter despair: "Uncle, please just pretend I'm not awake yet, okay?"

"Now you're scared? Weren't you pretty bold when you were competing with people on the ski slopes out of spite?"

Just thinking about that scene made Li Wei feel a chill run down her spine.

That's a high-level Dao.

Every year, countless people are dragged off the highway and sent to the hospital.

Where did she get the guts!

Shen Zhi didn't have many opportunities to meet her uncle, and she didn't know if her attempts to charm and coax him would work.

She could only open her wet, amber eyes and quietly gaze at him, tentatively probing in a low voice:

"Uncle, did you tell Grandpa, Mom, and my cousin?"

What do you think?

Li Wei looked at her with a half-smile.

That means they've already said it.

Shen Zhi's lips drooped instantly.

This is a complete disaster.

I thought I could steal a few days of peace and freedom in France, but now it seems I'll be under strict surveillance from now on, with no chance to be unrestrained at all.

It's all the fault of that grass spirit and He Yu!

"You got into trouble on my turf, Zhizhi, you really know how to surprise your uncle."

Li Wei pressed a button on the side of the bed, and the headboard slowly rose. The man handed Shen Zhi a glass of warm water and held the straw to moisten her throat.

Fortunately, it was just a fainting spell due to low blood sugar; there was no fever, cold, or injury.

Otherwise, he would become a sinner against the entire Li family.

Shen Zhi obediently drank water through the straw, quietly comforting him:

"I know what I'm doing..."

Li Wei affectionately patted Shen Zhi's head, a rare tenderness appearing in his eyes:

"Zhizhi, your uncle doesn't need you to stand up for me. So many years have passed, and I've long since given up on my obsession with skiing."

"But if anything happens to you because of your uncle, even just a scrape on the snow, your uncle will never forgive himself. Understand?"

"……oh."

Shen Zhi responded sullenly, her eyes secretly glaring at Guan Xing and Liang Yang not far away.

Why are you even saying this?!

Guan Xing and Liang Yang guiltily avoided her gaze, scratching their ears and cheeks, not daring to meet her eyes.

Li Wei noticed her subtle movement, bent his finger, and gently flicked her forehead:

"Don't glare at them. If Xingxing and Yangyang hadn't brought you back, you'd still be lying on the snow like a little snowman."

Shen Zhi exaggeratedly covered her head, but a moment of confusion flashed through her mind.

Did they save me?

Why did the hug she received back then feel so familiar...?

But Shen Zhi hadn't actually seen the other person's face, so she didn't dwell on it and spoke in a sweet, gentle voice:

"Uncle~ I want to eat your grilled beef tongue~"

When Shen Zhi acted coquettishly, Li Wei had no choice but to indulge her: "Okay. As long as you don't run around, your uncle will satisfy your every craving."

"Then...can I have an iced cola?"

"Can't."

Shen Zhi's face immediately fell, she shut her mouth listlessly, looking wronged and no longer giggling.

Li Wei turned around in his electric wheelchair, gave Guan Xing and Liang Yang a look, and then left the ward.

The two men immediately pounced on Shen Zhi's bedside, one on each side, just like the two guardian deities:

"Zhizhi! You scared us to death!"

"Oh no, I'm definitely going to get beaten up by all five of my older brothers this time!"

Shen Zhi withdrew her hand, her thin palm showing a sickly pale color.

"Why do you say all sorts of things? Those words... aren't you just rubbing salt into Uncle's wounds?!"

Guan Xing and Liang Yang were also at their wits' end.

"But your eldest uncle's imposing presence truly frightens us younger ones!"

"Coward!" Shen Zhi muttered under her breath.

Shen Zhi still can't forget the first time she learned to ski.

That day, she returned home excitedly and shared her joy of skiing with everyone in the Li family.

Li Wei was also there.

The loneliness and regret in the man's eyes deeply pained her.

The pride of the past is now something that can't even be touched.

It's not something you can just let go of so easily...

Shen Zhi is the kind of person who will remember the last bite of a chicken wing that fell to the ground for many years!

Not to mention their top-notch skiing skills, which they are very proud of.

Shen Zhi silently clenched her fists, making a silent resolution:

She was determined to find a way to help her uncle get back on his feet!
