Film and Television Time Travel: Why Do I Always End Up in Romance Dramas?

Chapter 50: I'll Teach

Morning light streamed through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows of the wooden villa, casting dappled shadows on the snow.

Nie Xiguang was still nestled in his warm bed, his consciousness just beginning to emerge from its hazy state, when a series of urgent knocks on the door jolted him fully awake.

"Sis! Get up! The sun's already high in the sky!" Jiang Rui's voice came through the door, brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "The tour guide said the snow quality is the best today, we have to be among the first to go to the ski resort!"

Nie Xiguang turned over, buried her face in the pillow, and felt a strange sense of loss welling up inside her.

At this time of day, she would have already smelled the aroma of milk wafting from the kitchen and seen Yu Chen busy at work, wearing an apron.

Sometimes it's a perfectly fried soft-boiled egg, sometimes it's warm milk with toast. These little everyday things have unknowingly become ingrained in her habits.

But now, only the laughter of his uncle, aunt, and Jiang Rui filled the villa. The familiar figure was missing, and even the air seemed somewhat empty.

She slowly got up, washed up, and changed into the pale yellow ski suit her aunt had prepared.

Only when Jiang Yun handed her the steaming hot corn juice did she manage to perk up: "Mom, where are Uncle and Aunt?"

"I've already packed and am waiting for you downstairs." Jiang Yun ruffled her hair. "Why do you still look sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Nie Xiguang shook his head, not telling the truth.

She tossed and turned all night, her mind filled with Yu Chen. She worried that he would be lonely spending the New Year alone at the factory, and she couldn't help but wonder if he had eaten properly and if he had been working late into the night.

The "I'm so sad" emoji on her phone disappeared without a trace, leaving her with a lingering unease.

When the group arrived at the ski resort with the tour guide, there were already quite a few people on the slopes.

The distant snow-capped mountains shimmered in the morning light, the powder-covered track wound its way through the landscape, and figures occasionally sped past on the advanced course, eliciting gasps of amazement.

Jiang Rui immediately spotted the steepest ski run, greeted the tour guide, grabbed his professional skis, and dashed off, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Nie Xiguang followed his mother and uncle and aunt to the beginner slope area. He had just changed into his skis and hadn't even stood up properly when he heard a familiar, clear, and cold voice.

"Miss Nie."

Nie Xiguang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up abruptly, seeing Lin Yusen standing on the snow not far away.

She was still wearing that camel-colored cashmere coat, but now she wore a black ski vest over it, making her cool and aloof demeanor stand out even more against the backdrop of the white snow.

She glanced back instinctively, a secret sense of anticipation flickering in her mind.

Lin Yusen is here, could Yu Chen be here too...?

But when her gaze swept over Lin Yusen's back, her expectations were instantly dashed.

The one standing there was not Yu Chen, but Zhuang Xu.

He was wearing a dark ski suit, and there seemed to be some indescribable meaning hidden in his eyes when he looked at her.

Nie Xiguang felt as if he had been doused with cold water, but he forced a smile and said, "President Lin, Manager Zhuang, what a coincidence."

Jiang Yun and her uncle and aunt also came over and exchanged polite greetings with Lin Yusen.

Lin Yusen remained aloof, occasionally nodding in response, but mostly listening to Chris beside him.

"Yusen, look at that advanced slope, isn't it even more thrilling than the slopes in Switzerland?" Chris, dressed in a bright red ski suit and with exquisite makeup, was ostensibly discussing skiing, but her eyes were glued to Lin Yusen. "I've heard the powder snow here is top-notch, but unfortunately I haven't skied in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. Could you teach me?"

Zhuang Xu listened from the side, and couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

In the Huaya conference room, everyone discussed where to go for the Chinese New Year this year, and everyone really liked skiing and traveling during the holiday.

Chris is a skiing enthusiast who has been to almost all the world's famous ski resorts and has excellent skills. Her claim of being "rusty" is clearly just an excuse to pester Lin Yusen.

However, none of this had anything to do with him.

What he cares about more now is that Nie Xiguang is here all by himself.

The lingering warmth in my heart is about to be rekindled.

Lin Yusen seemed to have seen through Chris's thoughts. He raised an eyebrow slightly but did not refuse. He simply said, "Just a quick swipe is fine."

Just then, Zhuang Xu walked towards Nie Xiguang.

Jiang Rui had long since disappeared. She stood there alone, not quite used to the snowboards, looking somewhat lost.

"Xiguang, you can't ski?" Zhuang Xu asked with a gentle smile and a hint of solicitation. "I just saw Jiang Rui playing on the advanced slope. How about I teach you? The most important thing in skiing is to maintain balance. I'll take you to get used to the beginner slope first."

Nie Xiguang felt a pang of resistance and was about to refuse.

She instinctively didn't want to have too much contact with Zhuang Xu.

Before he could finish speaking, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind him, carrying an undeniable certainty.

"Manager Zhuang, there's no need to go to that trouble."

Nie Xiguang froze and turned around abruptly.

Yu Chen stood not far away, his black ski suit making him look tall and straight. Fine snowflakes clung to his hair, and sunlight shone on his face, making his features clear and gentle.

He strode over and naturally stood next to Nie Xiguang. He looked at Zhuang Xu and said in a calm but possessive tone, "It's more appropriate for me to teach Xiguang how to ski."

Nie Xiguang stared at him blankly, her mind going completely blank.

How did he end up here?

Wasn't it said that we were supposed to stay at the factory and keep an eye on the pilot production line?

Surprise overwhelmed her instantly, and all her previous disappointment and longing turned into joy in that moment.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask so many questions, but only a choked complaint came out: "You... why are you here?"

Yu Chen looked down at her, his eyes full of smiles, and reached out to brush the snow off her cheeks, speaking softly, "Let me teach you how to ski."

Zhuang Xu's smile froze for a moment. Looking at Yu Chen who had suddenly appeared, he ultimately said nothing more, only giving an awkward smile: "Since Engineer Yu is here, then I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Lin Yusen watched this scene from afar, his eyebrows twitching almost imperceptibly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, letting Chris pull him toward the ski slope.

Only Nie Xiguang and Yu Chen remained on the snow.

The cold wind swept by, but it couldn't dispel the warmth in her heart.

Nie Xiguang looked up at Yu Chen, her eyes slightly red. A surge of grievances and longing welled up inside her, but the sudden surprise overwhelmed her, leaving her standing there dumbfounded.

Like a lost kitten that has finally found its owner.

Looking at her like this, Yu Chen felt his heart melt completely.

He held her still slightly stiff hand, feeling the warmth on his fingertips, and said softly, "Stand firm, I'll guide you on the slide."
