Chapter 199 Teaching Linghua to Ski
Everyone laughed and walked quickly to the top of the snow slope, and the scene before them made everyone excited.
Walnut excitedly took out his skis from his backpack, sat down on the snow, and started putting them on, muttering, "I'm going to be the fastest skier later."
But the skis seemed to be deliberately against her. Walnut fiddled with it for a long time, twisting it left and right, and it took a lot of effort, but she couldn't put the skis on her feet even after keeping them on for a long time.
Hu Tao's face flushed with anxiety, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. She looked up at everyone and found that they were all dressed except herself. She shouted with a somewhat aggrieved and amused tone, "Hey, how do I put this on? I see that you are all dressed quite simply, why are you being disobedient when it comes to me?"
Xianyun walked over to Hutao and took a look, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, your snowshoes haven't been buttoned yet, so it's naturally difficult to wear these skis."
Xianyun squatted down, pointed at the loose buckles on Hutao's snowshoes, and patiently demonstrated, "Look, you have to fasten the buckles of the snowshoes one by one first, so that the shoes fit your feet. Then it will be much easier to put on the skis."
Walnut lowered his head and began buttoning his clothes in a hurry, muttering, "Oh, I was so anxious that I forgot to button my clothes."
After finally fastening the buttons, Hu Tao picked up the skis again and, following Xianyun's instructions, carefully aligned her feet with the skis, stepped hard, and then fastened the buckles. This time, the skis were finally securely fastened on her feet.
Walnut let out a long sigh, a bright smile on his face again. He stood up, stretched his legs, and said excitedly, "Haha, that's good! I can finally start skating. I have to catch up with you guys."
But just as she took a step, Hu Tao felt her feet tilt and her body fell to one side uncontrollably. Fortunately, Xian Yun was quick to reach out and support Hu Tao.
Walnut patted his chest with lingering fear, stuck out his tongue and said, "Oh, it seems this is harder than I thought."
"Hu Tao, this isn't your first time skiing, is it?"
Walnut nodded, scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, and said, "Hey, you caught me. I've always wanted to try skiing because I've only heard about it. Today I finally got the chance, so I thought I'd be able to ski really well right away. I didn't expect to encounter so many problems right from the start."
Xianyun smiled and comforted him, "It's okay. It's normal to feel this way the first time you ski. Don't be discouraged. The most important thing about skiing is balance. I fell quite a few times when I first started. Come, I'll tell you the basics. First, try walking on flat ground to get your balance."
As he spoke, Xianyun began to explain to Hu Tao seriously.
On the other hand, Linghua was also skiing for the first time.
At this moment, Linghua was standing on her snowboard, looking extremely nervous. Her hands unconsciously grasped Xinyang beside her tightly, and her feet seemed to be nailed down. She didn't dare to move at all, for fear that she would accidentally fall on the snow.
Looking at Linghua's nervous look, Xinyang comforted her softly, "Linghua, don't be too nervous. Skiing is not as difficult as you thought. First, try to relax your body, bend your knees slightly, and then lower your center of gravity. This will help you stand more steadily. Then, use your feet to gently control the direction of the skis, and use the ski poles to provide you with power." As Xinyang spoke, he patiently demonstrated the movements, trying to make Linghua understand the key points more intuitively.
Linghua took a deep breath and bent her knees carefully according to Xinyang's instructions. However, as soon as she tried to move her feet, the skis suddenly slid forward a little. Linghua screamed in fright and quickly steadied herself. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Oh, I still can't do it. It feels like this ski board will take me flying out at any time." Linghua said in horror.
Xinyang comforted Linghua, "Don't be afraid. This happens every time you start. It's just a small accident. Just slowly get a feel for how strong you can control it. Look, I'll show you again."
As he spoke, Xinyang stood lightly on his skis, bent his knees slightly, leaned forward slightly, and lightly tapped the snow with the ski poles in his hand. The skis began to slide forward steadily and slowly. While sliding, he turned back to explain to Linghua the key points of the movements and the details that needed attention.
Linghua looked at Xinyang's skillful and relaxed appearance, feeling both envious and courageous. She bit her lip and tried again.
Following Xin Yang's instructions, Linghua tried hard to relax herself. This time she moved more slowly, feeling the strength under her feet bit by bit. Although she was still wobbly, she was finally able to slide forward a short distance. However, she didn't feel happy for too long, as she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a plop.
Seeing this, Xinyang quickly slid to Linghua's side and asked with concern: "Ouch, are you hurt?" As he spoke, he reached out and helped Linghua up.
Linghua brushed the snow off her body, a look of frustration on her face as she shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt that much, it's just... am I really stupid? Even after you taught me so much, I still can't master it."
Xinyang smiled and brushed the snow off Linghua's head, encouraging her, "No, it's just the beginning. It's normal to fall a few times. You've already skated quite a distance, which is much better than the first time. With more practice, you will definitely be able to skate smoothly."
After hearing what Xinyang said, Linghua's eyes lit up with hope again. She nodded and said, "Well, I'll try again."
Linghua then stood back on the snowboard, recalling every detail of Xinyang's instruction. She took a few deep breaths, calming herself down. Slowly bending her knees again, she carefully controlled the direction of the snowboard with her feet, slowly moving forward. This time, Linghua felt as if she had found a knack for balance. While the snowboard still slid a little slowly, it didn't lurch out of control as quickly as before, and she slid steadily forward several meters.
"Wow, I think I'm getting the hang of it!" Linghua finally showed a happy smile on her face and shouted excitedly to Xinyang.
Xin Yang also applauded Ling Hua from the side: "Great job, Ling Hua, that's it, keep it up."
As for Hu Tao, under Xianyun's careful guidance, she can now slide quite freely on flat ground.
Hu Tao showed off to Xianyun with a smug look on his face. As he slid, he shouted, "Haha, Aunt Xianyun, look at my skills now. I'm skating so steadily. I feel like I'm almost a skiing expert. Skiing isn't that difficult."
Xianyun looked at Hutao's proud expression and said with a smile, "Wow, you've only just managed to slide smoothly on flat ground a few times, and you're already getting cocky. Don't underestimate that snowy slope. When you really get up there, you'll be in a mess. Don't cry then."
When Hu Tao heard this, he raised his chin in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Hmph, just go ahead, I'm sure there will be no problem, just wait and see." But despite saying so, Hu Tao was actually still a little bit excited and nervous about the snow slope. After all, there were all kinds of problems when they started before, and this snow slope looked much more difficult than flat ground. But Hu Tao was a stubborn person and was unwilling to give in easily.
At this moment, A Ping brought Gui Zhong and Zhong Li to Xian Yun, her face full of excitement. When she saw Xian Yun, she couldn't wait to say, "Xian Yun, I finally found you! I begged Zhong Li for a long time, and finally he agreed to lend Gui Zhong to us temporarily. We are all busy with our own things on weekdays, and it's rare for us to get together. It's been a long time since the three of us sisters had a good time together. Now is the perfect time for us to go and play together." As A Ping spoke, she looked at Gui Zhong and Xian Yun with sparkling eyes,
After hearing what Ah Ping said, Gui Zhong smiled helplessly and gently scolded her, "Ah Ping, what do you think of me? What do you mean by borrowing me? No matter what, I will never ignore you good sisters. Besides, Zhongli is just pretending to be serious. How could he really stop us from playing together?"
