Chapter 2452: Zhaolong’s invitation

Zhaolong didn’t want to stand there any longer. He hmphed and turned to coiling Tiger.”Younger brother you, come with me to find the shop owner to settle the score. He dared to sell us counterfeit goods!”

After Zhaolong left, Xinyan hesitated for a bit before starting to ski with Lin Yi and Jingjing. She wasn’t very skilled, but she was smart enough to learn from the others.

Lin Yi wasn’t planning on taking advantage of Xinyan, either-he could do that anytime he wanted to. It didn’t have to be skiing, and Lin Yi just followed behind Xinyan and Jingjing, afraid that they’d fall like Zhaolong.

The afternoon passed by quickly, and Zhaolong and coiling Tiger were back a long time ago. They didn’t go skiing, though, but sat in a nearby beverage store and sipped on hot tea. The ski issue was just Zhaolong’s excuse-he didn’t really have a reason to look for the ski seller.

He was the one who wanted to buy the skis, and the boss and Lin Yi told him not to buy it. He didn’t listen, so who was to blame? He could only blame his bad eyesight for not seeing the knockoff brand clearly.

At night, everyone’s resting place was another villa on the mountain. They had to take a cable car or a helicopter to get there.

Of course, the price of a helicopter was too high, and only the rich would choose this method. The school used cable cars for the students, and Zhaolong and Panhu had already asked around about this.

Each cable car could only fit two people, and it would be a great opportunity for Zhaolong and Xinyan.

There were the least number of students in the pharmacy department, so boss Bai arranged for everyone to be last. However, this way, the students in the pharmacy department could also play at the ski resort for a while longer, and naturally, no one objected.

“Xinyan, can you ride the cable car with me later?” Zhaolong walked over to invite him, the ski in his hand already lost to God knows where.”Auntie called just now and asked me to take care of you?”

Xinyan was about to reject him, but the second half of Zhaolong’s sentence put her in a difficult position. Zhaolong’s words touched Xinyan’s most nervous heart, and it reminded her that it wouldn’t be good for Lin Yi if she interacted too much with him!

The sky elixir sect was an existence that Lin Yi couldn’t surpass, and if she acted too close to Lin Yi, it would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble!

Xinyan sighed at the thought of Zhaolong’s constant fawning on her. She didn’t know why Zhaolong was still looking for a marriage alliance with her family now that he had such a powerful backer. Was it all about his face?

But come to think of it, sometimes, one’s life was all about face, especially for the noble houses. What was the difference between house Xiao, who was one of the noble houses, and house Xiao, who wasn ‘t? Without that strength, what was the use of winning a title?

But house Xiao still wanted to stand firmly in the ranks of noble houses, and so did house Kang. In the eyes of these big houses, their reputation was more important than anything else, right? She was Zhaolong’s fiancée, and getting together with Lin Yi, especially since he was an enemy of house Kang, would be a slap in the face.

Looking at Zhaolong’s injuries, Xinyan hesitated. Sharing the same cable car with him shouldn’t be a problem-he wouldn’t do anything dirty with his injuries, would he?

“Okay, but we’re still students. Even if we’re engaged, some things can only be discussed after we graduate from college.” Xinyan said after some hesitation. Her meaning was clear, and Zhaolong would understand.

As expected, Zhaolong’s eyes flashed with annoyance. He’d just transferred, but with right-hand Tiger around, he’d heard quite a bit of Lin Yi and Xinyan’s gossip!

She’d lived with Lin Yi during the military training, and they’d been so intimate in the car … Xinyan even seemed to have helped Lin Yi Do that … All of that made Zhaolong feel like he’d been cuckolded.

But he wasn’t too sure-with his years of experience, he could tell that Xinyan was still a Virgin. He calmed himself down and said,”Of course. Auntie also said that we should respect each other!”

If he wanted to develop his relationship with Xinyan, staying in the cable car wasn’t all that bad. When the time came, Xinyan would start to rely on him!

“Alright,” he said. Xinyan didn’t reject Zhaolong anymore.

Lin Yi frowned. He didn’t really want Xinyan and Zhaolong to share the same cable car, but it was true that one cable car could only fit two people. Besides, it was Xinyan’s decision, and Lin Yi wouldn’t interfere.

However, Xinyan’s words made Lin Yi think. Xinyan clearly didn’t like Zhaolong anymore-they could’ve been intimate before, but now it was respect.

What Lin Yi didn’t understand was what Xinyan was thinking. She didn’t like Zhaolong, and yet she still wanted to keep the engagement. Was there some secret she couldn’t tell? Lin Yi wanted to know the secret, but Xinyan wouldn’t tell him anything if he asked her directly. He’d have to observe her from the side.

The other students had all left for the resort on the opposite mountain, and his classmates were on the cable cars as well, leaving only Lin Yi, Jingjing, Zhaolong, and Xinyan.

The last to take the cable car was right coiling Tiger’s two underlings, curly yellow hair and purple hair.

“We’re leaving now, Lin Yi-you’ll have to stay back. ” Zhaolong gestured for Xinyan to enter.

Xinyan saw that he was really well-behaved, and didn’t try to get physical with her, so she nodded and got on the cable car.

The two seats in the cable car were opposite each other, so they didn’t have to worry about being too close. After Xinyan got on, Zhaolong followed.

After Xinyan and Zhaolong’s cable car was far away, Lin Yi and Jingjing got on the cable car behind them.

“Xinyan, you seem a little scared? Do you have a fear of heights?” Zhaolong asked, smiling at the nervous Xinyan.

Xinyan wasn’t afraid of heights, she just wasn’t used to sharing the same cable car with Zhaolong! (To be continued.)
