Chapter 2448 — Skis
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Kang Jinglong's expression soured. It seemed Wang Xinyan didn't believe a word he said and had chosen to trust Wei Zhao instead! Still, Kang Jinglong was in no hurry to fall out with Wei Zhao. Losing his composure in front of Wang Xinyan would only make her look down on him further, so he decided it was better to proceed step by step. He still had his most important plan to carry out next—there was no need to quibble over a temporary gain or loss.
After buying skis and some skiing gear, Wei Zhao, Wang Xinyan, and Han Jingyi left the shop. Some of the other students also bought skiing supplies. Skis could be rented, but for close-fitting items like ski boots and ski goggles, it was better to buy your own.
Wang Xinyan held an armful of things Wei Zhao had bought her, her heart in a tangle. If she hadn't left the house without her bank card, and if all her cash hadn't been handed over to the robbers, she wouldn't have let Wei Zhao spend money on her—but as for letting Kang Jinglong spend money on her, that she was even more unwilling to do.
Though she had never stated anything explicitly to Wei Zhao, after all the intimate things that had passed between them, deep down Wang Xinyan had long since regarded herself as Wei Zhao's. And she believed that with the four years of university as a buffer, Wei Zhao would surely be able to make the Xuandan Sect compromise.
So Wang Xinyan didn't want to owe Kang Jinglong anything. If she accepted his gifts now, the debt of obligation would be troublesome to repay later. After struggling inwardly, she had still chosen to accept Wei Zhao's things.
Wei Zhao, for his part, never imagined Wang Xinyan had so much on her mind. Having changed into his skiing gear, he asked, "Jingjing, Xinyan, do you two know how to ski?"
Not far off, Wei Zhao saw Bai Weituo, already changed into his skiing gear, take several tumbles, and he asked Han Jingyi and Wang Xinyan with a hint of amusement.
"No, but it doesn't look too hard. Jingjing can give it a try," Han Jingyi said. She had been watching the skilled skiers for a while and had roughly grasped some of the patterns.
Wang Xinyan, however, hesitated. Over there, Zhao Shengji and Chai Xiaoling were hand in hand, learning to ski. Who would have thought that fat Zhao Shengji was actually a decent skier, while Chai Xiaoling was clearly learning under his guidance...
The scene made Wang Xinyan wonder: if she didn't know how, would Wei Zhao teach her the same way?
But just then, Kang Jinglong came out carrying his skis. He smiled at Wang Xinyan and said, "Xinyan, you don't know how to ski, do you? Want me to teach you? Auntie knows about this winter trip too, and she asked me to look after you!"
Kang Jinglong might not know the first thing about skis, but that didn't mean he couldn't ski. On the contrary, when he had come with Right Panhu to scout the terrain a few days earlier, he had rented a set of skiing gear and spent an entire afternoon learning carefully from the resort's ski instructor. He couldn't claim to be excellent, but he was a decent skier—at least good enough to teach Wang Xinyan. RQ
