The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)-Chapter 1055 PRICKLY BUT FULL OF FLUFF

1055 PRICKLY BUT FULL OF FLUFF

SU YUQI raised her head and the first thing she saw was Luo Jin's face full of worry while gazing down at her. There were two things she noticed at this moment. One, that Luo Jin actually called her by her name, not her full name, for the first time. And two, he's really so damn handsome. Wasn't it illegal for someone who's only 17-years-old to look this manly?

"Why aren't you responding? Did you hit your head? Should we go to the hospital?"

When she heard his continuous question, she just then remembered that she almost stumbled down the slope and the reason she didn't was because Luo Jin pulled her back in time. But because of too much force, the two of them ended up falling backwards. With her falling on top of the other. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In such a situation, any normal person would quickly spring up to their feet. But sadly, when it came to certain situations, one could say that Su Yuqi was far from 'normal'.

Instead of getting up, she found a much more comfortable position and leaned her head back. As if she was on her bed, rather than on top of Luo Jin's body.

"I'm fine. You pulled me back just in time. Nice save, by the way," Su Yuqi said in her usual non-committal way, as if what almost happened earlier was not a big deal at all.

This seemed to annoy Luo Jin. "You almost got into a major accident! It's alright to have fun, but it's also important to be careful. My heart almost fell out of my body when I saw you about to roll down."

Su Yuqi raised a brow. She didn't mind the nagging, surprisingly. She actually found it a bit... cute? Maybe because she knew the other was coming from a good place and he's not just saying these things for the sake of it. He was truly worried for her.

But they couldn't just dwell on this little accident. They were here to have fun. Shen couldn't let this slip up be the cause for Luo Jin to act like she's walking on glass. Since she was the one responsible for such a situation, she should also be the one to diffuse it.

And she knew just the right way to do it.

She leaned in closer to the other. "Looking at you like this, you really are a very handsome young man."

After she said that, she saw in real time how Luo Jin's whole face slowly turned red. It was... very interesting. She suddenly had an urge to tease the other continuously just to see this kind of reaction repeatedly. But she held herself back. Because there's a chance that this guy would just run away if she did.

When Luo Jin heard Su Yuqi's comment, his worry quickly subsided, and embarrassment replaced it. It was only then that he realized that the two of them were in a very compromising position.

Su Yuqi was on top of him. Even though both of them were wearing thick jackets, he could still somehow feel a soft pair of 'something' pressing into his abdomen. He immediately knew what those were.

Despite him literally lying on a bed of snow, he felt like his whole body was burning. Placing his hands on Su Yuqi's shoulders, he gently pushed her away as he rose to a sitting position. After that, he backed away and quickly stood up.

Even at a distance from Su Yuqi, he could still sense his heart pounding as if it might leap out of his chest.

Then he turned around and acted like everything was fine. He offered his hand to Su Yuqi. "L-let's go and ski on the intermediate slope instead."

Luo Jin's set of actions initially startled Su Yuqi. She didn't even feel any discomfort when the other stood up abruptly. As if he's some kind of ninja or something.

She stared at Luo Jin's hand in front of her. Despite the other feeling embarrassed, he still prioritized taking care of her. Not even forgetting to help her get up. She smiled inwardly. Really, this kid, no, Luo Jin, might look prickly on the outside, but deep inside, he's truly full of fluff.

She reached out her hand and let the other pull her up.

They spent most of the morning at Nanshan Ski Village. They did not only ski but also tried the other activities the place offered. From snowboarding to snowmobiling, and even to snow tubing.

That last one was particularly fun, and also nerve-wracking at the same time. Mostly because Su Yuqi suggested that they should do it together. So, they had to go inside an inflatable tube as they went down the slope. It's like a slide, except that it's a tube.

With Su Yuqi sitting in front of Luo Jin, it took everything in him not to accidentally hug the other. While some might argue that this moment presented an opportune chance to hold the girl he liked without worrying about the consequence, he still couldn't do it. Because, just like the case of riding the motorcycle, his desire was for a hug that went beyond the present situation—an embrace that held genuine permission, rather than one seized in a fleeting moment.

Yes, he's sentimental like that. But that's just the way he was.

Anyway, it's not like he wouldn't get to have that opportunity. As long as he could make Su Yuqi fall for him, then he could hug her for as long and many as possible.

After leaving Nanshan Ski Village, they went to a nearby restaurant that served local dishes for lunch. Both of them were quite hungry and tired from all the physical activities they did the whole morning, so they ate a lot. Good thing that the restaurant's food was very delicious.

They rested for a bit before they headed to their next destination - the Longqing Ice Gorge Lantern Festival.

What Luo Jin didn't know was that another couple was also heading in that direction.
