Cultivation Shura Field

Tang Lingfei stared at Xu Zhe, the question in her eyes increasing instead of decreasing.

She stood at the door and waited for Xu Zhe to put on his coat and prepare cold-proof gloves and earmuffs, then went out with him.

As soon as they left the house, the girl couldn't help asking, "What's in that room? A new computer? Did your dad buy a new computer?"

Xu Zhe nodded and took out his PHS from his pocket: "I also bought this."

Tang Lingfei was puzzled: "A computer, a cell phone, and three hundred yuan all at once... That's not right, hasn't your dad always been stingy? When did his nature change?"

Xu Zhe said leisurely: "My nature hasn't changed. If you can maintain the top spot in the class for a whole semester and get the top spot in the grade at the end of the semester, you can also experience similar treatment."

Tang Lingfei: "..."

"Getting the first place in the grade" sounded so easy and effortless in his words that Tang Lingfei wanted to hit him.

So she took action.

Of course, the girl didn't use much force, she just clenched her fist and hit him on the shoulder. Even this blow was avoided by him cleverly.

Xu Zhe: "Exercise really does have an effect."

"Stand still... Ouch!"

Tang Lingfei hugged his arms with both hands and bit his shoulder. However, due to the thick winter clothes, the girl's bite was not very heavy, so Xu Zhe felt very little.

It was like being nibbled by a playful puppy.

So Xu Zhe patted the girl's head. Well, it feels good.

For a moment, Tang Lingfei thought that this guy was going to hit her head, and she subconsciously shrank her neck. But then, the touch on her head was very gentle and comfortable, so she didn't hide.

Just a few seconds later, the girl suddenly reacted.

"Do you think you're petting cats and dogs?!"

----

Song Xingye was a little confused.

She sat in her mother's car, in the front passenger seat, while Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei sat in the back seat. But since the two got in the car, they hadn't said a word, as if they had some conflict again.

The car was quiet for a while. Apart from the noise of the engine turning the tires, there was no sound at all.

Song Xingye quietly turned around and observed.

Xu Zhe looked at the cloudy sky outside the window, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Tang Lingfei leaned against the car window, deliberately keeping a distance from him. But this girl would steal a glance at Xu Zhe from time to time, her eyes flickering, and I don't know what tricks she was thinking of.

Song Xingye then understood that this childhood sweetheart was just playing around as a routine. The silence at the moment was probably just to conserve their energy, or maybe because they were too embarrassed to make trouble in front of their elders. As long as the elders were not around, Feifei might start to torment Xu Zhe.

The city is not very big, and there are not that many private cars these days. There is no traffic jam, and we arrived at the entrance of the newly opened ski resort in the southern suburbs in a short while.

Li Caixia parked the car and led the boys and girls into the ski hall.

One ski trip plus the deposit for the ski equipment cost two hundred yuan per person. She had planned to pay for all three children, but Xu Zhe took out four hundred yuan for himself and Tang Lingfei.

The child was very determined when it came to paying, and seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Li Caixia stopped trying to treat him.

Tang Lingfei finally broke the stalemate between the two and asked quietly, "Why did you give my share as well? Don't you only have 300 yuan?"

Xu Zhe: "My dad gave me the three hundred, but I have my own money."

Tang Lingfei: "Did you earn it yourself?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Tang Lingfei was silent.

After a while, when Tang Lingfei was ready to change snowshoes and skis, she sat next to Xu Zhe and whispered:

"I didn't do very well on the test this time. My parents blamed me again, saying things like 'Look how sensible and capable Xu Zhe is'. I was really annoyed, and then I came to play with you, and you told me about your grades, so I was even more annoyed. But... now that I think about it, it wasn't your fault, right?"

Xu Zhe turned his head to look at her, looking at the little face that usually seemed carefree but was now shrouded in a cloud.

For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort Tang Lingfei.

Chapter 47 047 Snow

2023-09-06

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show off, and, how should I put it..."

Xu Zhe scratched his head as he spoke.

He tried to come up with a way to comfort her without hurting her, but no matter how he thought about it, the comfort didn't seem to be enough. Of course, it seemed that he could just ignore it, but after all, the girl's predicament was related to him, and it would be unkind to pretend that nothing had happened.

After pondering for a while, Xu Zhe decided to follow his usual path, that is, not to use light words to give a pure mental massage, but to use realistic logic to provide a solution: "I can tell my parents that I will try not to show off my grades in front of your parents in the future. Because I actually won't tell your parents this, parents like to compare their children's scores with each other the most. Besides, I can give you more tutoring and try to get you to do better in the exam."

Tang Lingfei whispered, "I ranked 24th in the class this time, which put me in the bottom half. My mom was very angry and said she would enroll me in a cram school and hire a tutor."

Xu Zhe: "Which subject do you think needs to be improved the most?"

Tang Lingfei: "It seems that all of them are needed. The Chinese score is okay, but the other scores are not high."

Xu Zhe: "After school, you can study with me. If you don't understand something while doing your homework, just ask me and I'll explain it all to you right away. How about that?"

This suggestion made Tang Lingfei stunned at first, then her big eyes gradually lit up and the clouds on her little face quickly dissipated.

"Wow!" the girl said in surprise, "Is it so good? You don't mind the trouble?"

Xu Zhe: "Anyway, I have finished my homework at school. I can also read other books or use the computer while tutoring you. It won't take up too much of my time."

Tang Lingfei immediately cheered up: "Okay, let's talk to my mom when we get back!"

----

Aunt Li hired a ski coach to teach the three people the most basic skills, and then drove away.

When it’s time to leave, Song Xingye can just make a phone call.

The three of them put on their snowshoes, fixed their skis, and listened to the coach explaining basic skiing techniques.

The coach was a girl. She was wearing ski goggles, so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but she sounded quite young, probably in her twenties.

"Before you start sliding, you must first understand how to fall. If you find that you have lost control of your sliding, fall to the side immediately. Don't use your hands or canes to support the ground, don't move around or roll over, just sit on your buttocks. You are all wearing thick clothes, and it's snowy, so it won't hurt if you fall."

As soon as the coach finished speaking, Xu Zhe sat down to the right.

"It really doesn't hurt."

The coach looked at the two girls and said, "You guys should try it too. Fall twice, then stand up and get a feel for it."

Tang Lingfei complained: "Are you looking for the feeling of wrestling?"

Coach: "Yes, everyone will fall when they practice skiing, but some people just pat their buttocks after falling and continue skiing, while others break bones. Learning how to fall is the first step in skiing."

So Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei also sat on the snow, but their actions were not as decisive as Xu Zhe's.

Coach: "Practice a few more times. Remember, if you lose control while skiing, you should fall like this... Yes, you can see that he did it very well."

Xu Zhe not only fell decisively, but also stood up flexibly. Thanks to his recent habit of exercising every two or three days, his physical condition is the best in this life or in the previous one. And as long as he keeps this habit, he knows that he will become more agile as his body develops.

After practicing how to wrestle, the coach began to teach the sliding postures and techniques.

And Xu Zhe is still the fastest learner.

The mental age of his previous life, placed in the body of a teenager in this life, allowed him to quickly understand the key points of the coach's words. He not only knew the facts, but also the reasons behind them.

Although it was the first time for the three boys and girls to come to the ski resort, their learning progress was completely different. While the two girls were still asking the coach to correct their postures, Xu Zhe had nothing to find fault with.

So the coach said to him: "You skate on the beginner's track first, we'll watch you here."

Xu Zhe nodded, turned and walked towards the magic carpet.

They were near the inner entrance of the ski hall, a flat snowy area. In addition to Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye, there were several other beginners listening to the coach's instructions. From here to the ski slope, there was still a short distance, and the slope was very small, so they had to walk over.

With the skis fixed under his feet, his walking posture is very different from usual. He has to lift one foot more forcefully, wait for it to land before lifting the other foot, and the soles of his feet must be level during the process...

After walking for more than ten meters, the snow under his feet had a slight slope. So Xu Zhe did not walk any further, but instead placed his feet flat on the snow and slid a little bit. While sliding, he controlled his center of gravity, and thus the direction of his slow slide.

Xu Zhe slid to the entrance of the magic carpet.

When you step onto the magic carpet with your skis, you won't slide anymore. Although there is an upward slope, you can stand very steadily. The magic carpet is a conveyor belt that takes tourists upward to the top of the beginner ski slope.

After leaving the magic carpet, Xu Zhe stood at the top of the snow track. Looking down, this beginner's track was wide and gentle, and the slope was estimated to be in the single digits. Those less skilled skiers were playing on this track.

Xu Zhe took a deep breath, pushed off the ground, and lowered his center of gravity.

Then it slid down.

Although it was a beginner's path, the speed of sliding down was not slow. The cold winter wind blowing on my face only intensified the sense of speed.

Xu Zhe knew that rushing straight down wouldn't work, so he moved his knees slightly, controlling the center of gravity of his body to move left and right.

On the snow track, he turned left and right, sliding out a continuous S shape... and then reached the bottom.

The first skiing process was shorter than he had imagined.

It took a long time to get up on the magic carpet, but the time to slide down was measured in seconds. I felt that I hadn't had enough fun yet, and I had already reached the flat ground at the bottom of the snow trail.

Taking advantage of the momentum of coming down, he slid to the vicinity of the coach and the two girls, then gradually slowed down and stopped in front of them.

The coach gave him a thumbs up and said, "Not bad! You have a lot of athletic talent. Not only did you not fall down the first time, but you also skated so smoothly!"

Xu Zhe was polite: "You are still the best teacher."

However, the coach glanced at the two girls next to him.

Tang Lingfei immediately said, "We've almost finished practicing, Xiaoye, let's go and skate!"

Xu Zhe: “Is it okay?”

The coach said leisurely: "It's okay, I'll follow them. Let's go and try skating for a bit."

Then all four of them got on the magic carpet.

Xu Zhe stood in the middle. In front of him was Tang Lingfei, and behind him were Song Xingye and the coach.

Suddenly, Tang Lingfei turned around and said, "If I fall, you are not allowed to laugh at me!"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Of course."

Chapter 48 Enjoy

2023-09-06

The first time skiing, Tang Lingfei did not fall, but Song Xingye fell hard.

Song Xingye only slid a short distance before she became increasingly unstable and could no longer control her center of gravity. Then she couldn't help but scream and poked the snow with her cane to try to stop herself, but unfortunately she couldn't stop at all.

Then the whole person fell forward.

Although the coach had emphasized in advance that when falling, one should land on the buttocks and not use hands or poles to support oneself or roll over, Song Xingye completely forgot about it in a hurry. The girl who was usually very quiet was indeed not used to sports, especially the unexpected situations during sports.

So Xu Zhe watched her fall onto the snow track and roll down several times before stopping.

"Fortunately it's a beginner track..." he muttered to himself, turned a corner, braked, and stopped next to Song Xingye.

Almost at the same time, the coach came and said to him, "Don't move, I'll help her. Where's the other girl?"

Xu Zhe looked down the snow path and said, "She slid straight down. Her speed was really fast."

The coach also took a glance and said: "Are you using a straight board to set off a torpedo? It's normal for a beginner. Go down and tell her not to be a torpedo. Practice turning and braking."

At this time, the girl's skis fell off her feet and she sat there in a daze.

Xu Zhe looked at her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Song Xingye touched her knees, her face still in shock: "I was so scared..."

The coach waved his hand and said, "She's not injured. You can go down first."

Xu Zhe nodded and slid down.

When he reached the bottom of the snow trail, he quickly found Tang Lingfei. The girl was standing on the flat ground. She turned around and looked up the snow trail. Seeing Xu Zhe coming over, she asked, "Where are Xiao Ye and the coach?"
