Chapter 256: Journey to the Snowy Mountains (Act 2)
About an hour later, Jiang Ming and his group put their luggage in their respective rooms, changed into various ski clothes, and took the cable car to the halfway point of the mountain.
This is a route with a gentler slope, suitable for beginners. Since Jiang Ming and his team have booked the entire snow mountain, they are the only ones in the mountain and there are no other skiers.
"Okay... let's start skating. Does everyone remember the general movements?"
Jiang Ming looked at the girls standing in a row at the ski practice field and asked this, and almost everyone nodded at the same time.
After all, most people have never skied before, so before coming here, some people learn the basic moves in advance, and simple skiing should be no problem.
"Yeah, no problem! Then I'll skate first!"
After Kiana finished speaking in high spirits, she put on thick goggles and used her ski poles to push her skis hard, drawing two steady tracks on the silver-white hillside.
“Oooooohh ...
Kiana let out an excited cry, and her back figure looked increasingly petite. Although she was just skating straight, her clean and neat movements and attitude did not seem like that of a beginner.
"Wow, that's amazing. This should be her first time skating. Kiana has a great talent for sports."
"Well...um, Mr. Jiang Ming."
Beichen Mei, wearing skis, walked to Jiang Ming very unskillfully. Her embarrassment and awkwardness could be seen from her stiff movements.
"Oh, it's Meiyi. Although we haven't gotten married yet, you don't have to call me Your Excellency anymore. Try using the name Jiang Ming directly. Or you can call me Ming like little Meiyi does."
"..."
"Please, it will be very troublesome for me if you don't do this."
Looking at Jiang Ming's pitiful and eager expression, Beichen Meiyi spoke in a somewhat intermittent manner.
"Um...Jiang...Jiang Ming."
"Yes, dear, what's up?"
“Grr…!”
Hearing Jiang Ming addressing her so intimately, Beichen Meiyi subconsciously wanted to reject such an address, but when she saw the other party's satisfied and pure smile, the girl took a deep breath.
"I'm not good at this thing called skiing yet, I want you to teach me a little bit..."
Jiang Ming nodded as expected: "Of course, the others have talents or skills in skiing, so I'm not too worried. As for Mei, I'll stay with you."
"The slope here is not very steep. Let's slide for a while as we taught you before."
"it is good..."
Mei Beichen put on goggles, held her ski poles tightly with both hands, and swallowed.
Then use your arms to move the skis into a figure eight shape, and slowly, slowly, slide down the gentle slope at a speed slower than walking after taking off the skis.
"Look...look! What's going on!"
“It’s pretty good for the first time.”
Seeing Beichen Meiyi showing off like a child, Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"But this level can't be considered skiing, it can only be considered gliding. How about trying to use more force when pushing the skis with the poles?"
"it is good..."
Beichen Mei nodded in response, and then slid her ski poles backwards with force as Jiang Ming said, and her speed was indeed much faster than before.
Just when Jiang Ming wanted to praise again, two voices suddenly came from behind. They were sisters Ying and Lin.
"Brother Jiang Ming! Sister said she still doesn't know how to do it, and wants you to teach her step by step!"
"Wait...Rin, I don't remember ever saying anything like that..."
"Oh, only if you say this will brother Jiang Ming help me...If I don't take the initiative, I will suffer - wow... wow wow wow!"
Lin and Ying approached Jiang Ming on their skis, but Lin suddenly lost her balance and stumbled. She subconsciously grabbed Ying's arm, but this also caused Ying to lose her balance.
The two of them skied quickly towards Jiang Ming and Beichen Meiyi. Jiang Ming, who had been focusing on Beichen Meiyi, didn't notice them until he heard a panicked scream behind him.
But because they were skating too fast, Jiang Ming just turned around to check on them when Sakura and Rin bumped into the back of Beichen Mei who was trying to slide again.
"Huh? Wait...how could this happen!!!"
Mei Beichen left behind a scream and slid down the ski practice field at an extraordinary speed far exceeding that of just now, while Ying and Lin stopped with the timely help of Jiang Ming.
"Ah! Miss Beichen!"
"Woooaaa! I'm sorry, Miss Bei...Miss Beichen!"
Even if they apologized, Beichen Mei could no longer hear them. Her figure was getting smaller and smaller at a speed even faster than Kiana's.
During this process, Beichen Mei's expression suddenly changed from panic to extremely calm. When she was trying to control her body and force herself to stop, she forgot that she was wearing a heavy ski suit and skis that greatly restricted her movements.
Therefore, he completely lost his balance before he even crossed the flatter area, and his body leaned forward and fell to the ground. However, he was caught by the soft snow, and because of the thickness of his clothes, he did not suffer much harm, except that his face was covered with snow.
The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the sisters Ying and Lin and said in a slightly apologetic tone.
"Sorry, Ying, and Lin, I have to go check on Beichen first. Can we talk about skiing later?"
"Well, Rin and I will go over too."
"No need. I'm enough for her at this time. If you go, it will cause her dissatisfaction."
"Is that so... Then——"
Ying seemed to want to say something, but Jiang Ming had already guessed it.
"Don't worry, I will intercede for you."
"That's...okay."
Looking at the ears drooping due to the depressed mood of self-blame, Jiang Ming walked up to rub their heads and then slid down the hillside following Beichen Mei's sliding path.
Jiang Ming was not very good at skiing, he could just ski decently on the beginner route. Soon he arrived next to Beichen Meiyi, who was covered in snow.
"Mei? Are you okay?"
"..."
With the help of Jiang Ming, Beichen Meiyi sat up shakily, and finally stood up holding the hand extended by Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming carefully helped her wipe off the snow on her face, head and body.
Seeing the awkward expression on Beichen Meiyi's face, Jiang Ming tried to comfort her: "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and it's the first time for others to skate too. I will accompany you."
"Jiang Ming..."
Hearing what Jiang Ming said, Beichen Meiyi murmured softly, her cheeks flushed as she crossed her arms.
"That's true. It's the first time for other people to skate as well—"
Without waiting for Beichen Mei to finish her words.
In front of their eyes, Yulandel slid down the hillside quickly with the graceful posture of an alpine skier. The skis slid in an arc on the snow. After stopping, she moved her goggles upwards and gently exhaled hot air. The movement was completed in one go.
"..."
Beichen Meiyi's expression, which had almost relaxed, suddenly froze in place. Seeing this, Jiang Ming hurried to smooth things over.
"Mei... Meiyi, think about it, Bianca is second only to me in terms of strength. She is one of those people with particularly good talents. She is also the strongest S-class Valkyrie by destiny. Of course, her motor nerves are strong. This level is not difficult for her at all."
"That... makes sense. Since you said so, Jiang Ming." Beichen Meiyi nodded, trying to convince herself.
However, Fu Hua and Cheng Lixue slid down the ski practice field in front of them, and they did not just slide, but also symmetrically, describing complex trajectories, showing gorgeous rotations, using inertia to rotate the snowboard and other flat-ground fancy skills, and arrived at the finish line at the same time, showing unparalleled tacit understanding.
"Master's movements are still so graceful."
"Lixue, you are not bad either. It seems that your practice has not been delayed."
"..."
Seeing this, Beichen Mei fell silent again.
Jiang Ming secretly thought that something was wrong and tried his best to persuade him.
"Mei...Mei! Think about it carefully. Do you remember the Red Kite Immortal? That girl is actually the Red Kite from 500 years ago. In fact, she has been practicing for more than 5 years. She is first-class in both experience and talent. The other one is her apprentice, who was the strongest A-level 15 years ago, and only below the S-level. It is not surprising that those two people have such skills, right?"
"So it was the Red Kite Immortal. That's not surprising... not surprising..."
Beichen Mei's cheeks twitched and she agreed reluctantly.
Then the next second, Bronya, who was snowboarding, flew past their eyes. Countless snowflakes were splashed all around by her wild sliding style, which was completely inconsistent with her image of a childish loli, and it also dealt a great blow to Mei Beichen.
"Wha...what?"
"Ahhh, actually... Bronya--"
Jiang Ming was about to comfort her again, but Beichen Mei suddenly stretched out a hand to block him.
"No need to say more, Jiang Ming. I know very well that you want to comfort me, but since I took the initiative to come here, I will never give up."
"Mei..."
Jiang Ming whispered softly, but in the next second——
Three normal loli-sized snowballs rolled towards them. Beichen Meiyi, who was wearing skis, couldn't dodge them immediately. Seeing this, Jiang Ming hurriedly tried to activate the rules of the space universe, but...
[Ding, follow your choice. Unless you have no other choice, you cannot use any means, otherwise the reward will be invalid.]
what! ?
Seeing that Beichen Meiyi was about to be hit by the three big snowballs, Jiang Ming had to stand in front of her, and Jiang Ming was hit head-on by the three snowballs. As a result -
"Well?"
"Hmm!?"
Due to the huge snowball behind him, Jiang Ming, who was leaning forward after bearing most of the impact, happened to have his lips and tongue touched with Beichen Meiyi and they kissed each other.
Jiang Ming did not end this unexpected passionate kiss quickly like a gentleman, because Beichen Mei was the first to stick out her pink tongue.
Before the brain reacts, the body takes the lead in helping to make a choice.
Jiang Ming's tongue was completely intertwined with the girl under him. The strange thing was that the two did not close their eyes normally, but opened their eyes wide and looked at each other at close range, feeling the warm breath from each other's nose. In the cold environment, this was undoubtedly fatal, and people could not stop once they started.
The soft and moist touch came deeply, and she felt it carefully. For some reason, it was smooth but also a little rough. Novel experience and emotions quietly rose in Beichen Meiyi's heart. Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but the tense feeling in her heart made her feel extremely comfortable.
Because the three large snowballs behind them broke, a thick layer of white snow covered them. Even if someone saw the situation here, they would not be able to find any clues.
At the same time, Xilin, Bella and Yuexia appeared in the snowball that broke after hitting Jiang Ming. It seemed that they had the courage to slide down, but they all seemed to have accidentally fallen on the top of the slope, and finally rolled into a snowball and rolled directly down the slope. Fortunately, they did not suffer much damage.
The unexpected kiss with Beichen Meiyi didn't last too long, probably less than three seconds. Jiang Ming wasn't affected much, at most his head was a little confused, but Beichen Meiyi's condition didn't seem to be good. Her face was a little stiff, and there was a little... aftertaste?
"Are you guys okay?!"
Considering Yuexia and the others' situation, Jiang Ming had to react first. He put the three little ones who were half lying on him steadily on the snow. After gently patting the snow off their heads, he turned around and helped Beichen Meiyi wipe the snow off her body again.
"Yeah, Xilin is fine."
"Bella is fine..."
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
Seeing that they were fine, Jiang Ming turned his attention to Beichen Meiyi. She looked dazed and seemed to have not yet recovered from the unexpected kiss.
"Mei? I'm sorry, I didn't expect something like that to happen. Are you okay—"
Before Jiang Ming could finish speaking, Beichen Meiyi hugged Jiang Ming tightly.
"...Eh?"
Jiang Ming must have never expected Beichen Meiyi to do such a thing, and he made a somewhat surprised sound, but Beichen Meiyi ignored him and continued to hug him tightly.
"Mei...Mei?"
"What are you doing all of a sudden?"
Xilin wanted to step forward and separate the two, but Beichen Meiyi took the initiative to let go of Jiang Ming in her arms.
"Well, it's supposed to be like this. Thank you. I feel much better now."
"Wha...what..."
Xilin and the other two all looked confused, except Jiang Ming, who had a complicated expression. He looked away without saying a word, not knowing what to say.
Beichen Mei lowered her eyes, with a barely noticeable purple gleam in them.
