Approaching and colliding, in just an instant, the two people sliding at high speed fell to the ground at the same time, and rolled uncontrollably on the snow slope until one of the figures was stopped by the woods below.
"Hmm!"
Naruse groaned as his back hit the trunk of a tree. The severe pain from behind also temporarily relieved the dizziness caused by tumbling down.
"It hurts..."
The goggles have cracked.
Leaning on the tree trunk blocking him, he endured the pain and slowly sat up.
At this moment, another figure rolled out of the wind and snow and crashed straight into him.
"..."
Naruse opened his mouth, feeling pain all over his body. All he could do was follow his instinct and close his eyes.
Bang!
Cold.
Pain.
Boundless cold.
The pain that can’t stop.
"..."
Hikaru Takigawa opened his eyes suddenly and woke up from a brief coma.
The sky was gray and the wind and snow were fierce, but she still looked like she did before she was knocked unconscious.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
She lay on the snow and raised her arms a little, but the result was severe pain all over her body, and the little strength she had just gathered dissipated.
Looking at the black branches above her head, she lay there for a while. She regained her strength and the pain had eased a lot.
Fingers, wrists, and the whole arm.
One hand was stuck deep in the snow, supporting her to get up with difficulty.
"..."
Only then did she realize that what she was leaning against was not a tree trunk, but a person.
What was discovered next was his identity.
"Chunhai...?"
He was unconscious, but his body was still supporting her at this time.
"Sea of Spring...Sea of Spring!"
She shouted twice, but he didn't respond. As soon as she raised her arm, severe pain spread all over her body.
After pausing for a while, she first removed only one piece of skis left, and then got up.
"Chunhai..."
She wanted to help him up, but stopped before she could do it.
"Don't move around..."
Hikari Takigawa endured the pain again, bent down and came closer, and patted his face gently.
"Spring sea, spring sea."
"..."
He frowned, but his eyes were still closed.
"..."
Although I didn't wake up, I finally had some reaction.
After ruling out a possibility that he couldn't even imagine, Takigawa Hikari breathed a sigh of relief, and his body suddenly relaxed a lot.
"It hurts..."
The wind and snow kept blowing, becoming more and more violent.
Thinking of the reminder from the staff at the cable car station, her heart tightened again.
The wind and snow will become heavier and heavier, and they have to go down the mountain as soon as possible.
"Spring sea!"
She slightly increased the intensity of slapping his cheeks, and after several attempts, he gradually had more reactions.
After more than half a minute, he finally opened his eyes.
"..."
His eyes fell on her face, and he rolled his eyes again, taking in the surrounding situation.
"Light..."
"Chun Hai." Her face seemed to be crying and smiling, and her voice was trembling.
He closed his eyes and quickly opened them again, "I'm fine."
Takigawa Hikaru held his hand and asked, "How do you feel about your body?"
"It hurts like hell."
"Can you get up?"
He closed his eyes again, and in the midst of the pain, he roughly felt what was happening all over his body.
No obvious tingling sensation...
When he opened his eyes again, Takigawa Hikaru's eyes widened and he looked at him with worry.
"It shouldn't be a big problem..."
Enduring the pain, Naruse sat up with her help, leaning against the tree trunk that blocked him from her.
Looking at the small wounds on his face with blood dripping from them, Hikaru Takigawa forced himself to calm down.
"Chunhai, we have to go down the mountain as soon as possible."
The wind and snow hit his face, and Naruse nodded.
"Can you walk?"
He tried it and felt severe pain all over his body.
Gritting his teeth and enduring it, he finally stood up.
"No problem..."
Not to mention that each other's skis had fallen off, and there was no way to continue sliding in this state. The two relied on the sparse or dense branches in the woods and moved laterally until they found the protective net beside the snow track. p>
Holding on to the protective net, the two of them moved with difficulty. After more than ten minutes, they finally saw the third person in the wind and snow.
"Hey...what's going on with you...I'm going to call someone!"
After a while, the staff who came after hearing the news rushed the two people to the ski resort medical room down the mountain.
The doctor examined both of them.
After confirming that there were no serious health problems and only a few scratches, the two were sent back to the hotel to rest.
Naoko and several members of Naruse's team also rushed back.
"..."
Naoko's legs went weak when she saw Naruse lying on the quilt.
Zhongyuan Xue stood aside and quickly supported her, but was almost knocked down by her.
"Nakahana-san... don't worry, Naruse-san is fine."
"Naoko." Naruse also sat up with support and reassured her with practical actions.
——Although the way he grimaced in pain made her even more worried.
After explaining a few words and letting Naruse have a good rest, Nakahara Yuki left the room first and went to visit Hikari Takigawa who was also lying in the room.
Several boys in the same group left one after another after confirming that there was no big problem with Naruse.
He and Shangzi were the only ones left in the room.
Seeing her looking at him silently, Naruse forced a smile.
"Actually, it was just a fall...no more than a few more bumps."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shang Zi's eyes filled with tears, and then she lay down on his quilt, shoulders hunched slightly.
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Naruse held her hand and squeezed it gently.
"Sorry."
After Shangzi finished crying, he comforted her with the doctor's words, and she felt a little relieved.
"Fortunately, my body is strong enough."
Naruse touched the right cheek again, "The only injured place is probably here..."
Perhaps it was a fragment of his goggles, or he was scratched by a branch. There was a small cut on the right side of his face, which has been dealt with at this time.
Shangzi stretched out his hand, stayed above the wound for a while, and then placed it slightly lower.
"..."
Feeling her gentle touch, Naruse closed his eyes. Exhaustion caught up with him at this moment, constantly impacting his consciousness.
"I want to sleep for a while."
"Yeah."
After he fell asleep, and after a while, Naoko got up and left his room, and went back upstairs to check on Takigawa Hikari.
Her condition is better than Naruse's. Except for the bump on her forehead, she doesn't even have any obvious trauma. Of course, bruises on her body are inevitable.
She sat up with support.
"Sorry, Naoko, it was me who bumped into Harumi..."
Shangzi shook his head and just told her to have a good rest.
Takigawa Hikaru wanted to say something else, but she added: "Recover soon, don't let Sister Yue worry."
"..."
She had no choice but to lie down obediently.
After staying with Hikaru Takigawa in the room for a while, Naoko went downstairs to look at Naruse who was sleeping soundly, and then left.
As time goes by, the sky gradually gets darker.
Naruse was lying on the quilt.
When he was half asleep, someone touched his face again.
