195: Chapter 195 Slip-Point High Difficulty
The three of them skied the beginner slope for a while, and in less than half an hour, Zhao Xiaoshuai had already been kicked out of the skiing ranks.
"Brother-in-law, you are so bad!"
Watching the two beauties speed away like the wind, the brother-in-law, despised by his Sister-in-law, could only silently endure it all.
He would absolutely not, on a whim, try to let go and increase his speed to perform those moves that looked obviously dangerous.
Right now, he was just skiing slowly and not looking very graceful, but if he were to trip and tumble a few times, that would be truly embarrassing.
His Sister-in-law, who was touching a snowboard for the first time, hadn't fallen once yet; he couldn't afford to lose face like that.
After all, it was just the most common beginner slope; after playing for less than an hour, his Sister-in-law was already bored with it.
"Sister Wenwen, this place is too simple, and the slope is too small; it's not challenging at all."
"Xiao Yi, it's just that you're progressing too fast. However, there is a terrain park here; let's go play over there."
"Yay, that sounds like a nice place. Hey, stupid brother-in-law, we're going to the terrain park to play, are you coming?"
"Not going, I'm tired from skiing and need to rest for a while."
"Tch, you must be afraid of falling over there. You're usually as strong as an ox, you're tired after just playing for this little while?"
"Forget it, Xiao Yi, let's ignore him and go play by ourselves."
Zhao Xiaoshuai endured his Sister-in-law's ruthless mockery; this level of reverse psychology wouldn't make him give in.
With his current ability, if he went straight to the terrain park, even if he could rely on his excellent physical prowess to keep from falling, the moves he performed would surely be hideous.
'That brat, I don't believe you can go straight to such high intensity and not fall once. Even if you don't fall, you're bound to make a fool of yourself with a few moves.'
Holding this mindset, Zhao Xiaoshuai unstrapped his snowboard and followed them to the terrain park, taking out his phone to record his Sister-in-law's embarrassing moments.
Seeing that shameless, stupid brother-in-law actually run nearby and raise his phone, Chu Xinyi also braced herself with 120% focus, determined not to show any flaws.
But she was, after all, a novice who had just learned to ski. Even with extraordinary talent, Chu Xinyi's first lap was skied with trepidation.
As for Meng Yawen, this was truly her home turf.
She was naturally someone who loved all kinds of sports, and her athletic reflexes were no worse than that little monster, Chu Xinyi.
Having been exposed to this sport very early on, she was quite famous at this ski resort and was privately called "Snow Flower" by many.
So, returning to this terrain park she was most familiar with was the moment she could truly showcase her strength and charm.
The terrain park had multiple sections like the half-pipe, big air jump, and slopestyle course. Chu Xinyi was still at the slopestyle course, familiarizing herself with some complex moves.
After Meng Yawen taught her some basic moves, she went to the half-pipe to start playing herself.
By sliding up and down the sides of the half-pipe a few times, she could use precise board control to soar into the sky and perform flips and spins in the air.
Accompanied by the scattering snowflakes, Meng Yawen seemed to transform into an elf on the snow, soaring freely.
This kind of snowboarding freestyle was extremely pleasing to the eye, and Zhao Xiaoshuai was watching from the sidelines with his eyes wide open.
Seeing her brother-in-law's "pathetic" look, Chu Xinyi curled her lips, gritted her teeth, gave up on the slopestyle she was practicing, and slid toward the half-pipe.
Seeing Chu Xinyi wanting to try this difficulty level so quickly, Meng Yawen stopped on a high platform to the side:
"Xiao Yi, playing this now is a bit dangerous, but with your talent, it shouldn't be a big problem. But remember not to jump too high at first; get used to the feeling of being airborne first. I'll demonstrate a few times for you."
Seeing his Sister-in-law wanting to play this project that looked a bit dangerous, Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't have the heart to record anymore. He went to the high platform on the other side of the half-pipe, prepared to step in just in case.
Although her protective gear was quite adequate, as long as she didn't get too carried away, she generally wouldn't suffer any major injuries.
But when he thought of that perfect face, if it happened to get bumped or bruised, or scratched, Zhao Xiaoshuai couldn't sit still.
At first, Chu Xinyi was very obedient, flying up just a little bit before landing back down, gradually getting used to the feeling of weightlessness, and tentatively controlling her body in the air to perform simple moves.
However, after flying a few times, she found that this didn't seem very difficult, and soon she let herself go, flying higher and higher.
That feeling of soaring in the air was a very special experience.
Since ancient times, humans have never stopped longing for the sky; flying freely has always been the deepest and most genuine desire in people's hearts.
And by using the half-pipe, being able to continuously experience the feeling of flying at both ends made Chu Xinyi more and more fascinated.
She flew higher and higher, gradually approaching Meng Yawen's height.
But she was not satisfied with this and began to tentatively perform spinning moves in the air.
The first time, naturally, she didn't calculate the angle of rotation well, and she spun around one and a half times before landing back, almost hitting a corner of the half-pipe.
However, relying on her superior athletic reflexes, she managed to slide down sideways, forcibly regaining her balance.
Both of them wiped away a cold sweat for her.
"Xinyi, don't push yourself too hard; take it slow."
"Xiao Yi, jump lower first; don't go for such high difficulty right away."
But Chu Xinyi was not discouraged at all by her first failure; instead, as if she had grasped some pattern, she couldn't help but want to try again.
"It's okay, I think I can do it!"
She didn't slow down but instead used gravity to accelerate again, sliding down from one end of the half-pipe and flying high up to reach the same height as before.
This time she eased up on the force of her turn, landing back on the half-pipe exactly when she had spun 360°, completing a perfect 360-degree spin.
Only then did the two of them set their hearts at ease.
At this moment, Meng Yawen had already taken off her snowboard and stood on one side of the half-pipe, and Zhao Xiaoshuai also stood on the other side, both watching the petite figure in the arena with tense expressions.
"Xiao Yi, you're amazing!"
"Brat, that's enough. I break into a sweat every time I watch you jump."
Naturally, his Sister-in-law ignored her stupid brother-in-law's nagging, made a face at him, and slid back over to Sister Wenwen to jump again.
Having quickly mastered the technique, her self-confidence swelled, and she was no longer satisfied with such "simple" moves.
Flying high up again, Chu Xinyi, imitating Sister Wenwen's previous move, intended to complete a Frontflip.
Doing a flip is a completely different level of difficulty compared to a spin; the difficulty of maintaining balance increased significantly.
Moreover, if a spin isn't complete, you just land sideways, and there is still room to maneuver.
But if a flip isn't done well, it's serious.
At this moment, Chu Xinyi was falling headfirst, and the distance between her eyes and the hard ground was getting closer and closer.
"Oh no! I've gone too far!"
