Chapter 94
I didn’t think much of it: “No need, I already ate.”
Evan nodded: “Good.”
I put on my gear, wore protective goggles, and started skiing.
Liz wasn’t very good at it yet. I had been skiing for many years, so I slowly guided Liz along.
The ski resort was quite crowded on weekends. Evan was worried we might get hit by others, so he stayed beside us the whole time, able to protect us when someone accidentally came too close.
However, there were really too many people today.
We had only been playing for about an hour when two girls crashed into us.
Liz was fine, but I crashed entirely into Evan.
Evan reflexively put his arm around my waist, tightening his hold to steady me securely in his embrace.
suddenly pressed against his broad chest, couldn’t help but freeze, and immediately felt uncomfortable. I wanted to push him away, but found that my foot felt
Incomfortable.
van didn’t let me go: “Did you twist your ankle?”
It seems… yes.”
van called a staff member over to have them watch Liz, while he bent down and picked me up.
thought he would have the staff help me. Being suddenly picked up by him, I was somewhat dazed, then resisted: “Put me down first, I—”
van: “The doctor is already waiting outside. Let’s deal with your ankle first.”
paused and stopped moving.
aside the building, Evan set me down.
he waiting doctor examined me and found it was just a minor dislocation. After adjusting the bone, I was quickly fine.
van asked me: “Still want to ski?”
‘m fine, I can continue.”
ince we came here, I didn’t want to spoil Liz’s fun.
earing the doctor say my leg was indeed fine, Evan didn’t refuse.
t this time, someone in the distance was looking in their direction.
clara? What are you looking at?”
lara bit her lip: “I think I saw someone familiar.”
he profile of that person ahead really looked like Evan.
ut he was with a child and a woman, so… this probably wasn’t Evan, right?
Vhen she wanted to take a few steps forward to see clearly, the other party had already put on their hat and goggles again and left.
Over the next hour or so, Liz and I were hit by people two more times, but weren? injured.
Seeing Evan holding my hand to support me, I gently struggled and said: Tm okay now, thank you.”
Only then did Evan release my wrist.
At noon, we left the ski resort and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Evan handed me the menu and had me order.
At this time, Liz remembered something and asked me: “Auntie, what’s your name?”
“Call me Aurora.”
Liz nodded: “Aunt Aurora.”
I smiled and touched her little face.
Perhaps skiing was too tiring–before finishing the meal, Liz started getting drowsy.
Evan held Liz in his arms and wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth.
I had also eaten about enough, put down my chopsticks, and said: “Should we call it a day?”
“Good.” But Evan didn’t immediately stand up. Instead, he looked at me and said: “Can I ask you out again next time?”
I said: “Yes.”
He had helped me, and Liz needed me. I was also happy to help him a few times.
The corners of Evan’s mouth turned up slightly. “Thank you.”
“It’s only right.”
Since Liz was asleep, I still felt we had nothing to talk about, so I didn’t say much and turned to leave.
Watching me drive away, Evan stood for a while before getting in his car.
When they got home, Liz woke up.
“Did Aunt Aurora leave again?”
“Mm.” Evan held her and suddenly said: “By the way, Liz, from now on just call her Auntie directly, don’t call her Aunt Aurora, okay? And please help me keep Auntie’s name secret–don’t tell others for now, okay?”
Liz asked curiously: “Why?”
