They rented their gear, snapped the tips of their boots into the iron clips of their skis, clicked the metal buckles, and got on the gondola, which was moving slowly towards the summit.

The wind stopped, the blue sky seemed to be washed by water, and the cable car lines were almost transparent in the air, as if refracting colorful light.

They sat side by side on the cable car, and in the small enclosed space, the two of them were very close to each other.

The cable car rose higher and higher, the carriage was completely closed, and Xu Chunqiu pressed his palm against the cold window, as if he could touch the sky by sticking out of the window.

She looked down at the sweeping snowfields and the tourists on the ski slopes who had turned into tiny black spots, and for a moment she felt so small. The sky, the snow, nature, time, it seems that anything can easily swallow her.

She removed her hand from the glass, curled up in a small ball and tucked up in her sleeve.

Lu Xiu also took off his leather gloves and reached out to grab her cold little hands: "Why don't you wear gloves, your hands are so cold?"

The dry palm warmed her fingertips, and she traced the texture of his palm, secretly rejoicing in her heart.

The person she had liked for so long was holding her hand at the moment, so warm.

......

In order to take care of beginners, the slope of the slope is not steep, and it takes only two or three minutes to go from the bottom to the top.

Xu Chunqiu reluctantly got down from the cable car, rubbed his hands and let out a breath of white air.

She saw Lu Xiu skillfully adjust his position, pull out the thin rod inserted into the snow, and hold it in his hand.

She was surprised, "You even know how to ski?"

Lu Xiu said of course: "If you don't know how to ski, how dare I take you to the ski resort." ”

"You follow me in a moment, and I will teach you. ”

She looked at the long snow slope, and a girl wrapped like a bear next to her followed her boyfriend step by step, and only skied five or six meters before she fell on her back.

Xu Chunqiu felt that he was afraid that he hadn't seen himself for a while.

She shook her head a little cowardly: "You slide first." ”

"I want to see you slide down. ”

Lu Xiu poked the ground with a snow pole: "You wait for me here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he slid down, the ends of his skis raising fine snow dust, the two longboards left trails on the snow, and the ski poles dragged behind him, leaving only a few shallow nicks, like meteors piercing the night sky, and like petrels fluttering their wings in a storm.

He flew down like a bird, and gradually only a thin shadow remained, and he beckoned to her at the end of the slope.

Lu Xiu took the cable car back to the top of the slope again, and Xu Chunqiu obediently stayed where he was waiting for her.

"I'll take you this time, and follow me. ”

Xu Chunqiu looked around, and almost all of them were beginners with people, some of them went incredibly smoothly as soon as they got started, and some of them fell and their noses were swollen.

She is actually not afraid of pain, and it hurts a lot more than this when she fell from the air when she was a child practicing. The ground of the snow resort is thick and soft, like a natural protective blanket, but Xu Chunqiu is afraid of being embarrassed in front of the people he likes.

"You follow me, and as long as I'm still standing, I won't let you wrestle. ”

Xu Chunqiu nodded, gritted his teeth and followed.

The snow on the ground was compacted, and it was slippery to walk with a pole, and there was no obstacle to walking on flat ground.

"Relax and stand firm, lower your center of gravity," Lu Xiu stood side by side with her, "Push the rod gently, go-"

She took a deep breath and slid out with Lu Xiu's back.

There was only the howling wind in my ears.

The sun shines on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the view is truly beautiful.

Xu Chunqiu didn't know how she came down, maybe because of the slope of the snow trail, maybe because of gravity, or maybe just because she was following Lu Xiu. His back was broad, as if he could withstand all calamities and misfortunes for her.

She followed him like this, followed him, and flew down from the top of the high slope smoothly and smoothly, the whistling wind faded, surrounded by travelers from foreign lands talking in a language she didn't understand, Lu Xiu slid in front of him in an S shape and stopped, and stretched out his hand in her direction.

But Xu Chunqiu found that he couldn't stop.

It's inertia, maybe the wind, in short, she's been pushed forward by some kind of force, and she's about to bump into Lu Xiu.

"The center of gravity is forward, and the back end of the skis is pushed out!"

Lu Xiu was right in front of her, and Xu Chunqiu's mind was blank.

She stuck the thin pole in her hand into the snow to try to help her stop, but as soon as the glove slipped, the pole could not be pulled out as soon as it sank into the snow.

She crashed into Lu Xiu's arms in one breath as if she were flying.

Lu Xiu caught her with open arms, but his center of gravity was not stable, and they fell firmly into the soft snow together.

There was snow in her clothes, and she was a little wet, but he took good care of her, and she was not injured, but she was covered with a thin layer of snow dust on her body and face.

"Are you alright?"

Xu Chunqiu shook his head, shook the snow on his head like a wet animal, and stretched out his tongue to lick the snow on the side of his mouth.

Cool, like ice cream.

"Don't lick," Lu Xiu took off his gloves and held her face, wiping them off with his thumb before the snow and dust melted.

She looked up at the storefront on the edge of the ski slope and pointed, "Ah, ice cream." ”

"Eating ice cream in winter is not good for ...... stomach," Lu Xiu said, and when he saw her pitifully falling, his heart immediately softened.

"Let's go, I'll buy it for you. ”

Lu Xiu resigned himself to dismantling the snowboard and went outside the ski resort to buy ice cream for her.

The crunchy egg roll cone and the ice cream made of whipped cream complemented each other, Xu Chunqiu bent his eyes with a smile, and he looked like he had forgotten the pain after the scar was healed, and licked the cream ice cream in his hand in small bites.

The amount of ice cream was not small, but in a few moments, she licked half of it.

He almost wondered how Xu Chunqiu maintained his figure as an artist, the food was not delicious, and he was not fat after eating so much junk food.

Lu Xiu regretted it after buying it: "You can't eat too much in one go, eating too much cold is not good for your health." ”

Xu Chunqiu sipped the ice cream on his lips and grinned at him.

There was something white on her lips, I don't know if it was cream or snow.

Lu Xiu lowered his head and kissed it.

It's sweet.

He'd wanted to do that for a long time.

Xu Chunqiu froze in place, the sensation of her limbs seemed to have been forgotten, her brain was overheated again, buzzing like a not-so-sophisticated machine, and her face was red.

Her right hand unconsciously let go, leaving only a small half of the cream ice cream to fall onto the snow.

Lu Xiu: The goal has been achieved.
