Chapter 83

Yu Shu had just started learning how to ski when she was in Norway, managing to slide a stretch down the easiest green slopes after trying it out a few times with Yu Fanxing.

Ji Yunzi was an all-around athlete and a strong skier. But he always accompanied Yu Shu down the simplest slopes. Whenever Yu Shu was about to fall, Ji Yunzi was always able to steady her in time.

Yu Shu's knee pads had become a little loose. Ji Yunzi squatted down to tighten them for her, and after fastening them, he casually stroked her thigh.

Yu Shu's expression instantly turned cold as she stared at him expressionlessly.

"Sorry, won't happen again," Ji Yunzi said appeasingly as he watched her reaction, bowing his head remorsefully.

Yu Shu didn't dwell on it much with him. "Let's go, keep going."

Ji Yunzi didn't dare touch her again, and taught her earnestly how to ski. One taught diligently while the other learned diligently, neither noticing as the number of people on the slopes kept diminishing.

A gust of wind blew past, accompanied by the roar of machinery, as over a dozen helicopters appeared in the air and gradually encircled into the shape of a heart, with one garishly pink helicopter decorated with heart shapes surrounded in the middle.

With a deafening boom, those helicopters started playing "Superstar of Troubled Times." The cabin door of the middle helicopter opened, and a familiar figure wearing full gear and snowboarding boots leapt out of it, accompanied by screams of excitement...

The veins on Yu Shu's forehead bulged as she covered her face with her windproof mask, watching as that person opened his parachute midair and landed in an extremely lofty and cool pose. His snowboarding boots made contact with the snowy ground, sending shards of ice and snow flying like flowers.

Shen Youlin slid a small distance by momentum before stumbling. He fell face-first into the snow. The parachute drifted down, covering him snugly.

Yu Shu stood to the side watching as he thrashed wildly under the parachute, yelling "Peng peng" incessantly.

She tried not to laugh, but couldn't hold it in...

"Hahahahaha..."

Shen Youlin had a bellyful of anger, and had finally crawled out from under the parachute with great difficulty. Seeing Yu Shu laugh heartily, eyes shining brightly, his anger instantly vanished.

Over twenty more people in uniform jumped down from the helicopters. The first two to land ran over and helped Shen Youlin get up, while the others cleared the remaining spectators.

Yu Shu's attention was fixed on Shen Youlin when she suddenly heard Ji Yunzi crying for help.

"Fuck! What's not good enough about me?!"

"What do I have to like about someone who loves me then abandons me, throws tantrums, and sees me as a passing fling?"

Shen Youlin's mouth twisted as his eyes welled up with tears again. "I can change! And we were happy together, weren't we?"

"We were happy, but I was also hurt, upset and angry many times. With Ji Yunzi, there's only happiness. He's more observant and better at placating me than you."

Yu Shu was also tired. She flung her ski poles aside and sat down, patting the snowy ground next to her. "Come, it's nice and quiet. Let's talk properly."

Shen Youlin ambled over reluctantly and kept scooting closer to her until their sides touched.

"Move away!"

Shen Youlin jumped at her yell and looked even more aggrieved. He slid away a distance.

"You can't change. Don't interrupt, just listen until I've finished." Yu Shu didn't give him a chance to speak. "You're an immature child who will never grow up. Remember what I told you when we went to fetch the car and met my ex-boyfriend?"

"For you men, you're like trees that need a lifetime to mature. And I'm lazy, I don't want to be an industrious gardener."

"Among all of them, you're the most childish and selfish one. You don't understand what liking someone means at all. You're saying now that you like me, but it's not real liking. It's like a kid whose favorite toy got snatched away—you can't accept it, it's your pride and competitiveness acting up."

"I really like you!" Shen Youlin yelled loudly. "I like you! I'm not a child! I always knew that I liked you!"

Shen Youlin's voice fell. "I used to think people in relationships were idiots so I didn't tell you! But now I realize I'm the stupidest dumbass in the world."

"I understand what it means to like someone. To make you happy, I risked chopping my fingers carving that seal. I didn't care one bit. For your opinion, I can toss and turn restless in bed. For a glance from you, I can rack my brains. "

"You just up and left without a word, I thought I would never see you again. I was in so much pain I couldn't speak, all I could think of was you! Only then did I understand those mushy sophic love stories writing about heart-wrenching agony were true."

Shen Youlin's tears flowed freely, instantly dissipating in the wind and snow. "Heart-wrenching is not an exaggeration, it's an accurate description."

"But I...really don't want you anymore."
