Zhaolong hmphed and turned to Tiger Right. "Lil bro, let's go find that shop owner and get even with him. How dare he sell our counterfeit goods!"
After Zhaolong left, Xinyan hesitated for a bit before deciding to go skiing with Lin Yi and Han Jingjing. Xinyan wasn't very skilled, but she was smart. She watched as the others skated and copied them, slowly starting to ski as well.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't plan on taking advantage of Xinyan. He could do it anytime he wanted. It didn't have to be when they were skiing. Lin Yi just followed behind Xinyan and Han Jingjing, afraid that they'd fall like Zhaolong.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Zhaolong and Tiger Right had returned a long time ago, but they didn't go skiing again. Instead, they sat at a nearby beverage shop and drank hot tea. Asking for an explanation for the snowboards was just an excuse for Zhaolong. He didn't really have any reason to go to the owner of the snowboards.
He wanted to buy the snowboards himself, and both the shop owner and Lin Yi told him not to. Who could he blame if he didn't listen? He could only blame his poor eyesight for not seeing the counterfeit brand clearly.
Everyone rested at night at a villa on another mountain. They had to take a cable car or a helicopter to get there.
Of course, the cost of a helicopter was too high. Usually, only the rich would choose this method. The school connected all the students to the cable car, and Zhaolong and Tiger Right had already asked about this beforehand.
Each cable car could only take two people, and it would be a good opportunity for Zhaolong and Xinyan.
Medical students had the least number of students, so Boss Bai arranged for them to be at the back. But this way, the medical students could play a little longer at the ski field, and naturally, no one objected.
"Xinyan, come with me on the cable car later?" Zhaolong walked over and invited her. The "entertainment" snowboard in his hand had long since been thrown away. "Auntie just called me and asked me to take care of you?"
Wang Xinyan wanted to refuse. But after hearing the second half of Zhaolong's sentence, she felt troubled. Zhaolong's words had, without a doubt, touched her most nervous heartstrings. Zhaolong's words reminded her that too much contact with Lin Yi right now wouldn't do him any good!
For Lin Yi, the Heavenly Elixir Sect was an unsurpassable existence. If she behaved too intimately with Lin Yi, she would definitely be punished. It would bring Lin Yi a lot of unnecessary trouble!
Xinyan sighed as she recalled how Zhaolong had been fawning over her all along the way. She didn't know why Zhaolong's House Kang was looking for a marriage alliance now that they had such a powerful backer. Could it be that it was just for the sake of face?
But thinking about it, sometimes people lived by their face, especially aristocratic families. What was the difference between a Xiao family that had become an aristocratic family and a Xiao family that had not become an aristocratic family? Without strength, what was the use of fighting for a title?
But Xiao family still wanted to stand firmly in the ranks of aristocratic families. House Kang was the same. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the face of the family was more important than anything else. She was Zhaolong's fiancee. If she were to be with Lin Yi, especially when Lin Yi was House Kang's enemy, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Xinyan looked at Zhaolong's wounded body and hesitated. It shouldn't be a problem to ride the same cable car as him. He was injured all over, so he shouldn't do anything dirty, right?
"Alright, but we're still students. Even if we're engaged, some things can only be discussed after we graduate. " Xinyan hesitated before speaking to Zhaolong. Her meaning was clear, and she believed that Zhaolong would be able to understand it.
As expected, a flash of anger appeared in Zhaolong's eyes. Zhaolong had just transferred, but he'd heard a lot of rumors about Lin Yi and Wang Xinyan because of Tiger Right's presence!
During military training, she was living with Lin Yi, and the two were very intimate in the car. Xinyan seemed to be helping Lin Yi with that … All of this made Zhaolong feel like he was being cheated on.
He wasn't too sure, but with his years of medical experience, he could tell that Xinyan was still a virgin. He calmed himself down and said, "Of course, auntie said that we should respect each other!"
Zhaolong thought that if he wanted to develop a relationship with Xinyan, this time on the cable car wouldn't be a problem. Once something unexpected happened, Xinyan would develop a sense of dependence on him!
"Alright." Xinyan didn't reject Zhaolong after hearing his words.
Lin Yi frowned. He didn't really want Xinyan and Zhaolong to be on the same cable car, but it was true that only two people could sit on a cable car. This was Xinyan's decision, and Lin Yi wouldn't interfere.
But Xinyan's words made Lin Yi ponder. Graduate from university? Xinyan evidently didn't like Zhaolong. She would've been acting so intimately with Zhaolong otherwise, but with Zhaolong, it was just mutual respect.
What Lin Yi didn't understand was what Xinyan was thinking. She didn't like Zhaolong, and yet she still wanted to keep the engagement. Was there some secret she couldn't tell? Although Lin Yi really wanted to find out, Xinyan wouldn't tell him if he asked directly. He could only observe from the side.
The other students had already left on the cable car to the resort on the other side of the mountain. His classmates also got on the cable car with the staff, and only Lin Yi, Han Jingjing, Zhaolong, and Xinyan were left.
The last ones to get on the cable car were Tiger Right's underlings – Yellow Hair and Purple Hair.
"Let's go. Lin Yi, you stay behind." Zhaolong gestured for Xinyan to get on the cable car.
Xinyan saw that he was being obedient and didn't try anything funny, so she nodded and got on the cable car.
The two seats in the cable car were facing each other, so they weren't too close. After Xinyan got on, Zhaolong got on as well.
When Xinyan and Zhaolong's cable car was far away, Lin Yi and Han Jingjing got on the cable car at the back.
"Xinyan, you seem a little scared? Do you have acrophobia? "Zhaolong smiled as he looked at the nervous Xinyan.
Xinyan didn't have acrophobia, but she wasn't used to sitting in the same cable car as Zhaolong! (To be continued …)
