On Saturday morning, Mary and William got dressed and set out for the ski resort at S City.
Mary caught sight of William's professional ski equipment. She was absolutely dumbfounded.
"You can ski?" Mary asked.
"Of course. Skiing in the winter and surfing in the summer. Sounds pretty good, right?"
"Yes, it's not bad."
As expected, William had unlimited resources. He was free to do what he wanted whenever he wanted to.
While the car drove north, the air got colder and colder along the way. The scenery on the road changed from autumn to winter. Lying in her seat and in her puffy jacket, Mary wanted to curl up into a ball.
When they entered S City, she saw the snow on both sides of the road and on top of the branches.
"It's snowing!" Mary leaned against the car window and looked out.
"Yes. It'll continue snowing for two days."
"Really?" Mary's eyes lit up. This was the first time she'd ever seen snow...
As he saw the joy in her eyes, William's heart fluttered.
The manager of the ski resort greeted them as soon as they arrived. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
"Oh, Mr. Lan. Welcome."
"Thank you, Manager Sun. We'll have to trouble you for a while." Wil
uch fun. As he slid down, he felt like his heart was about to soar.
Mary must be looking forward to skiing with him.
William smiled and walked up the hill, but his smile quickly faded when he saw Mary.
"Okay, try and keep your balance." The young coach put his hands on Mary's waist. "First, you should try walking on the snow. Get a feel for it."
"Okay." Mary nodded. She had focused so much that she didn't notice William staring at her in the distance.
"Okay, that's great." The young coach continued encouraging her while he held her hand. "Don't be afraid. Come on, now try and make a circle."
When Mary tried turning slightly, she accidentally crossed the skis and almost fell face first in the snow.
"Ah!"
"It's okay. You're alright. I got you, don't worry." The young coach hugged her to keep her from falling.
"Whew..." Just as Mary let out a sigh of relief, she heard a deep voice shouting her name.
"Mary!" William strode towards Mary. His face darkened and his eyes loomed as he looked at her and the coach.
"William!" When Mary saw him, she didn't notice how angry he was. She greeted him happily. "Come here. This is the coach that Manager Sun sent. He's really good..."
