Chapter 718: Love Above All Chapter 77

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t go to class the next day.

Actually, she had completed both her freshman and sophomore courses within a year, so taking two days off from school was very simple.

Besides, Bai Yu and the others were not around, leaving her feeling even lonelier.

She had agreed with Quan Shaoqing that he would take her skiing, so the next day she waited.

By noon, the weather had cleared, and the sun came out, making the white snow on the ground shine brightly.

The snow on the roads was slowly melting, while the slopes on Nanshan, sheltered from the sunlight, were perfect for a ski resort.

By the time Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing arrived, the place was already filled with many men and women. The mountain was so high that you had to take a vehicle to get to the top, then ski down from there.

Gu Xiaoxi stood at the foot of the mountain, feeling a rush of excitement just by looking.

"So many people, and so cold," Quan Shaoqing said indifferently, turning around to wrap Gu Xiaoxi with a scarf. Then, with a radiant smile, he took Gu Xiaoxi’s hand and said, "The mountain’s pretty high, are you sure you’re up for it?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, feeling confident that there should be no problem.

"Then let’s go!" Just as Quan Shaoqing was about to take Gu Xiaoxi inside, Jin Xiao intercepted them, fearlessly blocking their way.

"Boss, I think we better not. Is the place exclusively booked? This kind of mixed crowd could spell trouble should something happen," he said. He had a nervous twitch in his eyelid, afraid that an accident might befall Quan Shaoqing once inside.

Snow Mountain was vast and fun indeed, but the presence of people with ulterior motives could pose a massive life-or-death challenge.

Quan Shaoqing remained silent, merely giving Jin Xiao a sidelong glare that swiftly extinguished the latter’s last bit of courage under his cold gaze.

All Jin Xiao could do was slink back, not without giving Gu Xiaoxi a dirty look.

Gu Xiaoxi could feel Jin Xiao’s hostility as well as his concern.

Given Quan Shaoqing’s special status, security was always ensured wherever he went.

In places like this, with a constant stream of visitors, the presence of assassins or spies indeed posed a considerable risk to him.

But now that they were here, it was impossible to turn back.

"Why don’t we let everyone join us? With more people, there’s less danger," Gu Xiaoxi suggested.

Jin Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Quan Shaoqing gave his consent as well.

By ’everyone joining’, Gu Xiaoxi was taken aback after seeing the crowd.

More than a dozen people discreetly followed behind them.

What was supposed to be a date for two quickly turned into a war with a whole group of people, all geared up as if facing a formidable enemy.

Gu Xiaoxi had initially wanted to ignore the slight tension in the air, but she couldn’t help feeling nervous because of the concern shown by those around her.

After taking the transport to the summit, she stepped onto the thick snow and momentarily forgot her troubles, delighted by the thrill.

Watching her happiness, Quan Shaoqing’s face relaxed into a smile, feeling that, threats notwithstanding, the trip was worth it.

The view from the top was indeed stunning, especially the city covered in white snow, pristine and clear, so dazzling that it deeply attracted those who laid eyes upon it.

And just like that, everyone’s mood improved.

Some skiers were already sliding down the slope, skillfully and smoothly.

But those less adept took harsh falls—it hurt just to watch.

"Are you scared?" Quan Shaoqing asked with a chuckle, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. After all, skiing seems simple but is quite difficult to control in practice.

"Scared? Not at all! I’m definitely going to learn today," Gu Xiaoxi boasted confidently, patting her chest.

Before getting started, Quan Shaoqing pulled her aside with a gentle smile and said, "Don’t rush, let’s take a photo together first."
