A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

After finishing a whole cup of coffee on a bench, Shen Nian re-entered the ski slope.

She originally planned to practice on the beginner's path, but then she made up her mind and went to the intermediate path instead, and went straight to the highest point.

Standing at the highest point, looking down, Shen Nian still felt a little timid, and even her legs felt weak.

She closed her eyes and then opened them again, taking a deep breath.

They took preparatory actions.

It's probably just a matter of psychological concern.

Seeing how good L was, she didn't want to admit defeat.

Shen Nian hesitated for a second, then steeled her resolve, pushed off with both hands on the ski poles, and quickly slid down the mountain. The sound of the wind and her own heartbeat seemed to merge into one. Shen Nian went from being nervous at the beginning to gradually relaxing. When she reached the halfway point, someone suddenly darted out, and Shen Nian tensed up again. She tried to control her direction with the ski poles, but she still couldn't quite control it, and then she veered off course and veered to the other side.

She couldn't help but scream, "Ah~~~ Ah~~ Ah~~, everyone, please make way, make way!"

Shen Nian practically shouted as she went, and those who reacted quickly managed to get out of her way.

Finally, she ran straight at a boy, knocking him down.

The boy probably didn't expect her to crash into him so accurately. He was caught off guard and fell directly on top of Shen Nian after being hit.

He braced himself with his hands on either side in time, so that he wouldn't fall entirely on Shen Nian.

Shen Nian was terrified. After falling, she was stunned for a long time. It was the boy she bumped into who, supporting himself, asked, "Are you alright?"

She finally came to her senses and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Because the boy had skis on his feet, it was difficult for him to get up from the snow. He used one hand to throw himself to the other side, fell again while lying flat, and then tried to sit up.

Meanwhile, Mo Ze and the others also noticed that Shen Nian had fallen.

Moze rushed towards her immediately.

When he arrived at Shen Nian's side as quickly as possible, Shen Nian had just been pulled up by the boy next to her, the one she had bumped into.

"Niannian, are you alright? How did it go?" Mo Ze asked anxiously from behind. Shen Nian turned around and saw Mo Ze looking worried.

"It's nothing, Uncle, I just tripped and fell." Mo Ze picked her up from behind.

After Shen Nian stood up, Mo Ze circled around her, carefully checking for any injuries.

After confirming that Shen Nian was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had personally witnessed Shen Nian fall, and his heart had jumped into his throat; it had really frightened him.

It seems I'll have to keep someone watching over me from now on to feel at ease.

"I'm really fine, sir," Shen Nian said, pointing to the person next to her. "I just bumped into someone, and I don't know if they're alright."

At this moment, the boy next to him also stood up on his own.

He took off his goggles and looked at Shen Nian, as if trying to confirm something.

Mo Ze looked past Shen Nian and was somewhat displeased with the way Mo Ze was scrutinizing Shen Nian.

"Sir, are you injured? Do you need to be taken to the hospital for a check-up?" Mo Ze asked in a slightly cold voice.

The boy waved his hand, "It's okay, no need to go to the hospital."

He was talking, but his eyes were still fixed on Shen Nian.

Then, somewhat uncertainly, she asked, "Are you Shen Nian?"

This time he asked in Chinese.

Before this, everyone communicated in English.

Hearing him speak Chinese, Shen Nian was taken aback, turned around and looked over, feeling that the person in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

The boy continued, "Did you graduate from Jiangcheng No. 9 Middle School?"

Shen Nian nodded blankly, "How did you know?"

The boy chuckled softly, "I also graduated from No. 9 Middle School, Class 6 of Senior Three, Qin Yiche."

After the boy finished speaking, the somewhat familiar face in front of Shen Nian gradually overlapped with the person in her memory.

"Qin Yiche?!" she exclaimed in surprise, then took off her goggles, revealing her delicate, small face.

Qin Yiche said happily, "It really is you, Shen Nian. I never expected to run into you in Hokkaido."

“Yes, what a coincidence! How long has it been since we last met? Almost four years, right?” Shen Nian said happily.

"I went abroad in my second year of high school, four years and three months," Qin Yiche corrected her.

"It seems so." Shen Nian thought for a moment; it seemed like the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than four years.

Mo Ze, who had been left out in the cold, watched the two people in front of him chatting and laughing happily, and his expression grew increasingly cold and serious. He coughed lightly, interrupting their reminiscing.

"Ahem~ Niannian, how about I take you over there to rest for a bit?"

Shen Nian replied, "Okay."

She then looked at Qin Yiche and asked, "Do you want to go and rest? Let's check again to see if you're really alright." She was still worried that she might have hit someone in her car.

"Okay," Qin Yiche readily agreed.

The three of them then slid together to the bench rest area where Shen Nian had just been drinking coffee.

On the way, Mo Ze held Shen Nian's hand the whole time, being very careful, and kept reminding her, "Take it slow, just follow me, don't be afraid."

Qin Yiche, standing to the side, watched this scene with an unreadable expression in his eyes.

Upon arriving at the rest area, Mo Ze called L over, showed him his identification, and carefully examined Qin Yiche for any external injuries. After confirming that there were no problems, he said to Qin Yiche, "If there are any further issues, Mr. Qin can still contact me." He then gave Qin Yiche a contact number.

Qin Yiche smiled faintly, his mouth slightly crooked.

"If there's no problem, there's no problem, and we won't hold you responsible for anything afterward. Without this collision, I wouldn't have been able to reunite with my old classmate." He said, then looked at Shen Nian.

"It's good that you're alright, otherwise I would feel really bad," Shen Nian said from the side.

Qin Yiche raised an eyebrow, still smiling, and said, "Since you're embarrassed, I'll give you a chance. How about you treat me to dinner tonight? It's rare to meet, so treating me to a meal isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Shen Nian looked at Mo Ze, seemingly uncertain, and did not immediately agree to Qin Yiche's suggestion.

“It’s not excessive, but… there are a few of us together, so maybe…” Shen Nian thought for a moment before speaking.

After all, it's Christmas tonight. K mentioned on the plane that he had already made dinner reservations for a special Japanese restaurant. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to leave the group and go treat others to dinner, but it seemed even more inappropriate to invite Qin Yiche to dinner with them.

And...secretly, she wanted to spend Christmas with the older man tonight...

Shen Nian originally wanted to say that it might not be convenient tonight, but she wanted to exchange contact information first and they could make plans later. She was definitely going to treat them to this meal.

Before she could finish speaking, Mo Ze, who was standing next to her, said, "If Mr. Qin doesn't mind, he can come with us for dinner tonight."

Shen Nian turned to look at Mo Ze again, then asked Qin Yiche, "Are there other people? Do you... mind?"

Qin Yiche smiled faintly, "It's more lively with more people. If you don't mind, then of course I don't mind either."
