Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter Novel - Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Strange Events on the Snowy Mountain (1)

It was Gu Chu who spoke.

It turned out that Cheng Qi and Bobo were still cleaning up the house. Gu Chu was a little hungry, and she couldn’t find any food in the room. Gu Chu ran to the front desk, wanting to buy some snacks.

Gu Chu ran quickly and almost bumped into the man in the black winter coat.

“I-I’m sorry.” Gu Chu hurriedly took two steps back and cursed in her heart, don’t you know how to watch where you’re going? Despite that, she still put on an apologetic expression.

Gu Chu raised her head and saw the guest’s face.

Her pupils constricted.

This guest was… a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes?

He was wearing a black hood and was extremely tall and sturdy. Gu Chu had accidentally bumped into his leg just now. It was as if she had bumped into an iron pillar. This meant that this person’s lower body was extremely stable. He was most likely a martial artist.

He looked to be in his early thirties. There was a faded scar on his right cheek that looked like a scratch by a bullet.

There was a slight curve on his waist. He must have hidden a weapon underneath his coat. His boots and pants were all professional winter clothing for mountaineering.

“Did you get hurt, little girl?” The foreign visitor half-squatted down and looked at the little girl in front of him. He revealed a gentle smile. “It’s my fault for not looking where I was going. I’m sorry.”

Gu Chu: “…”

The foreign visitor continued, “I have a daughter as old as you. She’s just as cute and obedient. Her name is Lucy.”

“Uncle, Where’s your daughter? She should come and ski with me.” Gu Chu did not move. Based on her experience, this black-shirted visitor was most likely a mercenary.

The foreign traveler smiled lovingly. “Lucy is… sick and can’t ski. In the future, when she recovers, I will take her to ski with you.”

“That’s great.” Gu Chu pretended to be happy.

The foreign traveler seemed to like the lively and healthy Gu Chu very much. He accompanied Gu Chu to choose snacks and even wanted to pay for her, but Gu Chu rejected him tactfully. Gu Chu returned to the wooden house with bags of snacks in her hands. From the corner of her eye, she stole a glance at the foreign tourist who entered another wooden house.

Gu Chu was puzzled. Why would a foreign mercenary suddenly appear on a snowy mountain in the wilderness?

He seemed to be an experienced guy.

After thinking for a while, Gu Chu decided to observe secretly first. She carried the snacks into the house and shook away the crystal-clear snowflakes on her hair. Then, she gave the snacks to Cheng Qi and Bobo.

The weather was fine in the afternoon, and the thickness of the snow was very suitable for skiing. The three of them arrived at the nearby ski resort under the guidance of the owner of the hostel.

With the help of Cheng Qi, Gu Chu put on a children’s ski suit, plush gloves, and a colorful hat, looking like a colorful little fluffball.

There were already many tourists in the ski resort, and they were laughing and chattering everywhere. Cheng Qi held Gu Chu’s hand and taught her step by step how to use the snowboard, how to control her balance, and how to brake in case of danger —

Actually, Gu Chu knew everything! There was no need to teach her at all!

But seeing that Cheng Qi was kind enough to help, Gu Chu straightened her posture and pretended to be a beginner, listening to Cheng Qi’s teachings.

“Now, I’ll be holding your hand. Let’s skate ten meters first.” Cheng Qi was afraid that Gu Chu would fall, so he held her hand steadily.

Gu Chu pretended to wobble a little, and then with the help of God, her strength increased by leaps and bounds.

Soon, Gu Chu could ski back and forth on the ski trail, and she even dared to run up the slope, sliding down the slope with a whoosh… Cheng Qi followed Gu Chu the whole way, his eyes fixed on Gu Chu’s red little face.

He was full of happiness.

In his previous life, he had met with Ace of Hearts many times, and they had never gotten along peacefully.

Now, he could finally hold Gu Chu’s hand and grow up together with her.

While Cheng Qi was immersed in happiness, someone suddenly grabbed his ankle. Bobo’s weak voice drifted over. “Brother… Save me…”

Cheng Qi lowered his head and saw Bobo, who was badly bruised.

Bobo almost cried. “Brother… can you teach me how to ski? I’ve fallen eight times! Eight times!” Bobo’s baby face was red. He felt ashamed and uncomfortable. He had thought that he was a man, a genius with an IQ of 150.

Skiing?

It wasn’t difficult at all.

Even a six-year-old child like Gu Chu could learn how to ski. How could a fourteen-year-old genius like him, Bobo, not be able to do it?

Who would have thought that… It only looked easy.

Skiing was so difficult.

Cheng Qi rubbed his temple and bent down to help BoBo up. “I’ll teach you.”

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Bobo was so touched that he almost burst into tears. It’s rare for Cheng Qi to take the initiative to teach him how to ski, so he must seize this opportunity! He couldn’t let Big Brother down!

Cheng Qi took out his patience and taught BoBo the movements and essentials of skiing step by step. Bobo followed his big brother’s instructions and made a few simple strokes. Sure enough, he had made great progress!

Bobo: “Haha, I can finally ski!”

As he said that, Bobo rushed to the ski slope and rushed down with a whoosh.

Cheng Qi: “Don’t go down the slope yet!”

Unfortunately, it was too late. Bobo slid down the slope with a whoosh. At first, his movements were quite standard, but later on, as the slope became more curved, his center of gravity shifted. He stumbled and rolled down the slope, slamming into a tree trunk.

Cheng Qi: “…”

I don’t have a silly little brother like you.

Gu Chu let out a crisp laugh from the side.

Skiing was relaxing and fun, and Gu Chu was enjoying herself so much. After skiing for half an hour, she felt that her arms were sore, so she panted and ran to Cheng Qi’s side to rest. Cheng Qi had already prepared hot water in advance and handed it to Gu Chu. “Drink some.”

“Thank you, Brother Cheng Qi.” Gu Chu drank tons of water, her feet swaying on the wooden chair.

Just as she handed the cup back, Gu Chu suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away

That American man.

He was opposite the ski resort, facing Gu Chu and Cheng Qi. He wore sunglasses and seemed to be observing the situation around him.

Gu Chu secretly frowned. It seemed that… He was observing his prey and looking for an opportunity to strike. He didn’t know which poor guy had become the prey of this American guy. Someone who could afford to hire American mercenaries was probably a powerful figure.

Suddenly, Gu Chu realized…

Wait a minute, the most valuable prey in the ski resort seemed to be Cheng Qi, who was next to her.

The heir of the Cheng family, the wealthy young master, and the person who controlled the entire Cheng family — in the novel, Cheng Qi was persecuted by his father’s illegitimate children and fell victim to the chaos. He died at a young age.

Later, perhaps due to Gu Chu’s strong intervention, the plot changed, and Cheng Qi did not die young.

However, that did not mean that Cheng Qi would definitely grow up safely. Cheng Qi’s father was committed to spreading his seed everywhere. The illegitimate children were all ambitious. Perhaps one of them was bold enough to hire someone to kill.

Thinking of this, Gu Chu immediately became extremely alert!

She stuffed the water into Cheng Qi’s arms and said in a childish voice, “Brother Cheng Qi, Chuchu is going skiing.”

“Be careful,” Cheng Qi said gently.

Cheng Qi secretly planned to send someone to investigate the man wearing a black winter coat across the ski resort after Chuchu left.
