Pretending to be a beginner skier is not a problem for an actor, and he has not been exposed to this snow sport for a long time, so the entire morning of the 20th, Theolod spent the entire morning on the ski resort with a personal trainer. And the professional, in addition to admiring Theorod's talent, was completely unaware of his disguise.

Not to mention the other people he was tutoring with, Kate and Jack.

Jack's memories of skiing are only as a child, and after not skiing for a long time, he needs to practice in the novice area for a while to find a feeling.

As for Kate, according to her, if she was to surf as a seaside kid who grew up in Melbourne, Australia, she would definitely be good at it, but skiing was different, and although they all had to use a longboard, she also believed that it would not be long before she could conquer Mount Donomiti. For this reason, she also made a bet with Theolod that would be the first to become a teacher.

"If I win, you give me tonight's limited pastry, and likewise, if you win, my share is yours. Kate said. The resort's high-end Western restaurant serves a limited number of pastries every day, created by three-star Michelin chefs, and each guest is limited to one confection, and this mysterious dessert is very popular here because of its delicious taste, and it is not known exactly what it is until it is finally served.

"This bet is so vicious, Kate. Theorod lamented, "You've at least touched a surfboard, and I'm an athletic idiot." Aren't you worried that eating two servings of dessert will shoot too many calories?"

"No, I'm in good shape right now. Cry, littleboy, CRY!" Kate spread her arms and walked around Theorod in a ostentatious circle on her red and white snowboard, but because she didn't have a steady center, she accidentally went outside, and if Theorod hadn't grabbed her quickly, the image of this recognized temperamental beauty would have been completely planted in the snow a few feet thick.

"That's right, you're in such a good shape, the wind blows down, I just tried cry, but somehow it turned into something else, what's it? Oh, LOL. Theorod helped Kate to her feet, "You should be glad there are almost no paparazzi here." ”

"What? Are you still worried about having an affair with me?" Kate deliberately misinterpreted Theolod's meaning and teased back.

"Yes, I'm afraid of being hunted by your crazy fans. Theorod teased.

"I'm more worried that your 'Ladies' will tear me apart. With goggles in the way, Kate rolled her eyes openly.

She also heard a little about Theorod's affection for fans, and some fleshy newspapers also commented that Theorod sounded like a noble young master with a "Lady" to his female fans.

"Please, what are you doing? Are you going to talk here all day?" Jude and Gwyneth, who had just returned from a ski run, shook their heads helplessly when they saw Theorod and Kate chatting very happily, "You should learn from Jack, look at him, he is a model of serious study." ”

Jude motioned to contact Jack, who was walking on skis, under the guidance of the instructor, and took out the tone of the teacher teaching bad students. Gwyneth was much more tactful than he was - she slid straight to the coach and "begged" him to help them train the two of them to be fishing.

The coach is really serious and responsible, at least Theolod and Kate don't have time to talk anymore.

Under the guidance of her instructors, Kate quickly showed her talent for growing up by the sea, leaving the beginners' camp in the afternoon to practice on the beginner slopes in the surrounding area. Theorod, on the other hand, also accompanied Jack in a small circle in the novice area. The beginner camp was crowded, and most of them were underage children, and Theorod and Jack, two men over six feet tall, seemed a little constrained in a group of children.

The height factor determined that it was difficult for Jack to control his center of gravity, and in addition, he was past his best learning period, so he was slow to master. Theorod also knew this, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of leaving him alone in the camp, he chose to stay and train with him, sharing his experience with him by the way, chatting and relieving his boredom.

However, the two big men have been in the training camp for a long time, and it is still quite noticeable, Theolod has already felt more than a beam of eyes glancing at him and Jack, and Jack is also aware that his low voice has a hint of imperceptible self-deception: "It's okay, we wear hats, goggles, and wrap tightly." ”

As soon as he said this, a girl who looked to be only a teenager and was in middle school slid up to the two of them after a few hesitations and asked in standard Boston English, "Excuse me...... I know it's a bit abrupt, but, excuse me...... Are you ......?"

"Sorry, you may have read it wrong. Jack said seriously.

"Hey, Theo, Jack, why are you still here? and Theo, it's clear that your limited pastry today belongs to me. Kate came back from the beginner's road and came to a nice sharp turn brake in front of Theorod and Jack, and said with great interest.

Seeing that the two men in front of her were staring at her very silently, Kate looked at them strangely, and then at the girl next to them, and immediately realized what was happening, so she cast an apologetic look at them - she really didn't mean to reveal their identities.

Who knows, the girl just showed a look of sudden realization: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just knew, I thought you were a couple, I'm really sorry, bother!"

“……”

“……”

"-Phahaha, is this true? Is that really what the little girl said? hahahaha...... Ouch, my stomach hurts......"

In a corner of the resort restaurant by the window, Jude, who listened to the story, clutched his stomach with a smile and patted the table gently. He didn't dare to laugh too presumptuously, if it weren't for the fact that this was a high-end restaurant, and he still needed to pay attention to his image, he would have laughed out loud and changed from slapping the table to pounding the table.

"Yes, I have a good memory. Kate's amorous eyes had a very obvious smile at the corner, and even that elegant smile was a bit like a mischievous teasing, "That's why I'm very curious about what you two did at that time, so that the little girls in the family mistakenly think that you are a couple." ”

"Really, nothing. Jack shook his head helplessly, "Theo is just telling me how to maintain my center of gravity, we are both beginners, and we all have to wrestle, but we just helped each other a few times." ”

"That's right, it's as simple as that, we're just supporting each other, learning from each other, chatting with each other, relaxing. Theolod added.

Jude heard this, and immediately pretended to be surprised: "Oh, support each other, this word is really good, Theo, I'm not happy, obviously I am your first love, you didn't use each other to support each other and walk side by side to describe our past." ”

"Well, do you remember what Hugo said about that, Theo?" Jack ignored Jude, who was pretending, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Theorod.

"Which one?"

"'The first love sees only life, and the continuous love sees eternity. Jack slowly pronounced the words in his flawless voice, a subwoofer-like voice like the soulful music of a cello. He looked at Jude again and smiled at him, "So the first love will never last long, let alone bear the burden of supporting each other." ”

"Hmph, but I'm true love. ”

As they talked, the last mysterious dessert was presented to the waiter, and Theolod consciously pushed the dessert in front of Kate. When Jack saw it, he gave his share to Theorod: "It just so happens that I don't like desserts, Theo, my share is for you, I know that you deliberately lost your bet with Kate today because you are with me, but thanks to you, I will be able to go to the beginner ski slope tomorrow." ”

"Every time I hear my fellow say he doesn't like desserts, I'm amazed for a while. Jude said, following Jack's example, pushing his share over as well, "It's a coincidence that I don't like dessert either, Theo, I'll give you my share." ”

"Are you serious?" Theorod raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Jude paused for a moment: "Fake, well, give you half, I have to keep in shape, but look at you, how thin you have become, it looks really distressing." ”

When Gwyneth heard this, the fork that had just been put in her mouth paused slightly, and she looked at the three men, and then at Kate. Kate noticed her gaze and exchanged a look with her—

We didn't speak, we just watched quietly as these two Englishmen sold rot to a half-Italian.

The next day, when the three members of the novice group left the training camp completely and came to the beginner path, the two members of the advanced group had already begun to think about challenging the advanced path. They slipped once or twice in the Intermediate Path, and then came to the three who had conquered the Beginner Path and took them to the Intermediate Path.

Jack and Kate, who had just learned to ski, fell on the intermediate track again, and Theolod still holds today's zero wrestling record, which also proves that Jack was telling the truth yesterday, if it weren't for him, Theorod would have left the rookie camp long ago, which made Kate, who won the victory because of his voluntary abstention, very dissatisfied.

"My dear Kate, don't be angry, or I'll make amends for today's dessert for you?"

"Okay. ”

She has been waiting here for a long time, Theorod is a little crying and laughing.

After lunch, Jude and Gwyneth finally shook off the purpose of their morning - let's take the cable car to the top of the mountain, even if you can't slide the advanced road, it's not bad to see the scenery!

Cortina d'Ampezzo is best known not for beginner and intermediate runs, but for advanced runs, and the southern part of the Donomites is dotted with black pistes with 70% or more slopes, including expert runs, which are only worth the trip if you have tried them.

Jude and Gwyneth weren't the best of the best, they chose the safest and gentler trail, but despite this, the 978-metre-long trail still has a slope ratio of around 60%, with little snow and bare black rocks as far as the eye can see.

It's certainly not a fun place for beginners, but the scenery from the top of the mountain is really good, and Gwyneth, who has already brought her camera, has taken a lot of pictures. She looked at the piste and thought for a moment before deciding that she was still an intermediate trail that was suitable for the halfway up the mountain, and Jude wanted to give it a try, according to him, as long as the "wrestling policy" was used in time, it was not too dangerous.

It's just that a group of five of them blocked the track entrance and delayed a little time, and the person standing behind suddenly pushed Jack impatiently: "Are you slippery or not? Don't block the intersection if you don't dare to slide." ”

Jack was standing at the end of the slope watching the skiers sprinting down not far away, and he was defenseless, but thanks to Theorod's quick hand to hold him steady and stabilize his body, he might have fallen into the snow or even rolled down the slope.

"Do you know how dangerous it was just now? Sir, I think you need to apologize to my friend, he's just a beginner. Kate immediately stepped forward, unafraid that there were six men on the other side.

"Beginners should stay on the training track, what are you doing here? The perpetrator was still unimpressed.

"Friend, you can't say that, no one rules that people who are not familiar with skiing can't go to the top of a snowy mountain to see the scenery. Jude frowned as well.

"Oh, look at the scenery, why don't you go to Mount Everest? British, the view from the top of Cristano is also very good, you should take your friends to that kind of place." The man laughed, Monte Cristano is one of the symbols of Cortina d'Ampezzo, but it is very difficult for beginners to reach the top because of the extremely steep and irregular rocks that lead to Guò.

These guys look like they're all veteran skiers and know every ski resort well.

Seeing that there was an argument on the side, the ski staff immediately came over and asked what was going on.

Theolod was sure that nothing had happened to Jack, so he single-handedly stopped Jude, who was about to talk to the staff for an explanation, and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, leave it to me." ”

Then, without waiting for his friend's reaction, he politely said to the staff: "It's nothing, it's just that there are conflicts and small frictions between some concepts between this friend and my friend, in fact, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

"Yep, it's all a misunderstanding, these girls who have weak legs when they see the mountains need you to send them down the mountain. A very provocative remark suddenly appeared among the six people, causing the group to laugh.

"Enough, you don't know what respect is. "Good tempered like Jack, he also frowned at the moment.

Gwyneth didn't want to pay any attention to the crowd, and she said to the staff, "Sir, these people almost pushed my friend off the piste without knowing it, and I hope you can send them down the mountain for the safety of the tourists." ”

"Why? It's clear that you're blocking the crossing!" shouted the group in disbelief.

"Alright, don't make any noise. ”

Surrounded by a group of people, the staff was also a little impatient, but as soon as he blurted out, he was interrupted by another person.

"That's right, listen to this gentleman, let's talk calmly," Theolod clapped his hands and walked up to the man who shot before, "You said that beginners shouldn't be here?, in fact, I'm also a beginner, and I only came into contact with the intermediate path this morning, and Mr. Kent from the training camp can prove it for me." So, let's make a bet and let's see who conquers the road first. If you lose, you have to apologize to my friends. ”

"Haha, ridiculous!" the man thought Theorod was joking, but he saw that the expression on the other party's face that was half covered by goggles didn't look like he was joking, and he couldn't help but be a little interested, "What if you lose?"

"I apologize to you guys and pay all your fees at the ski resort. Of course, I couldn't have lost. ”

Theolod's calm and even smiling voice is like the warm sun of winter, hidden behind it is an indescribable pride and oppressive force, and the domineering hidden is like a needle hidden in the cotton, but his smile is indeed so gentle. He slowly stretched out his hand to the other party, tilted his head slightly, and said with a smile:

"Deal?"

“…… Deal. ”

At that moment, for some reason, he looked at the man in front of him who claimed to be a novice, and a sense of retreat sprouted in his heart.
