SEBLS CHAPTER 40

At that moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside. Qin Qiyue looked out the window and saw fireworks blooming in the sky.

Zhuang Wu, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake by the sound. He opened his eyes and asked Qin Qiyue, “Gege, what’s that sound?”

Qin Qiyue turned around. “It’s just fireworks. Don’t worry about it. Go back to sleep.”

Upon realizing that it was the sound of fireworks, Zhuang Wu immediately rushed over to Qin Qiyue’s side. “It’s my first time watching fireworks with Gege, how can I just go to sleep?”

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were illuminated by the bright lights of colorful fireworks, which reflected off Zhuang Wu’s face. Qin Qiyue stared at him absentmindedly, and when he came to his senses, the fireworks had already finished.

Zhuang Wu reluctantly turned his head away, only to catch Qin Qiyue’s gaze on him. Both of them froze for a moment.

“Gege.” Zhuang Wu guessed something and joked, “Am I prettier than the fireworks?” 

“……”

Qin Qiyue changed the subject. “It’s late, time to sleep.”

Looks like he thinks he was more handsome.

“I think Gege is more beautiful than fireworks.” Zhuang Wu teased him, then couldn’t help yawning and falling asleep.

The weather in Luo City was colder than the city they came from, and it was snowing continuously.

Now that they’ve finally come all the way here, they decided to go skiing together.

When they arrived at the location, they grabbed their tools, put on protective gear, and got started.

Zhuang Wu was not very confident about skiing. There were downhill slopes, and the ground was so slippery. What if he accidentally fell and slid far away?

But since he was already there, it would be a shame not to try, so Zhuang Wu slid down carefully with the help of the equipment.

On the other hand, Qin Qiyue wasn’t very skilled at skating but seemed to have gotten the hang of it. Zhuang Wu didn’t want to skate alone, so he skated over to Qin Qiyue.

“Gege looks so cool skiing.” Zhuang Wu had intended to praise Qin Qiyue, but ended up nearly losing his balance.

Fortunately, Qin Qiyue supported him. “Be careful, there’s a downhill slope here.”

Zhuang Wu felt a bit embarrassed. “Oh…”

Behind him, Qin Qiyue slid wherever Zhuang Wu went.

After a while, Zhuang Wu knew how to slide, but he still couldn’t do it well and almost fell several times.

Zhuang Wu was right next to Qin Qiyue. As Qin Qiyue became more skilled, he gradually picked up speed. Zhuang Wu tried to keep up, but he suddenly slipped on his skis and fell flat on his face.

This section was downhill, with no pits on the ground and just a smooth surface. Once you fall, you will slide all the way down.

Qin Qiyue subconsciously reached out to pull Zhuang Wu, but failed to pull him up and they were both dragged down together.

The further he slid forward, the clearer Zhuang Wu could see a pit ahead with a tree beside it. If he didn’t find a way to stop, he would definitely crash into it.

Skiing was not a particularly safe sport to begin with, but strangely, Zhuang Wu did not see any safety measures here. Did that mean that if other skiers fall in the future, they would just keep sliding down?

Zhuang Wu wanted to stop, but as he slid down, he couldn’t stop and his equipment had already fallen elsewhere.

Qin Qiyue might have noticed that they were about to crash onto a tree. He hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Wu, and the two of them inexplicably switched positions.

Gravity caused Zhuang Wu to fall onto Qin Qiyue.

The next second, the two collided with the tree, but Zhuang Wu was lying in Qin Qiyue’s arms and it was Qin Qiyue who ultimately hit the tree.

Qin Qiyue’s back and arms collided violently with the large tree, causing him to gasp in pain.

Then, both of them fell into the pit at the same time.

The pit was very deep, and after falling in, the two men temporarily lost consciousness.

By the time Zhuang Wu woke up, it was already pitch black outside.

This place was supposed to be cold, but Zhuang Wu didn’t feel cold. He looked down at himself subconsciously.

He was still lying on top of Qin Qiyue, while Qin Qiyue lay motionless on the ground.

Zhuang Wuxin’s heart sank, and he called out subconsciously, “Gege, are you awake?”

All that responded was the sound of the wind.

Zhuang Wu began to feel afraid. Could something be wrong with Qin Qiyue?

He shook Qin Qiyue’s arm with his hand, but felt something wet.

Zhuang Wu took his phone out of his pocket and used its light to shine on his hands.

Then he discovered that the wet substance was blood.

“…Gege!” Zhuang Wu hurriedly shone the light on Qin Qiyue’s arm again.

There was a lot of blood.
