Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Limited Editions, Wholesale Style

Qi Xiao swung his long legs over and leapt skillfully down from the snowmobile.

He took off his helmet, and the black bangs on his forehead were blown apart by the mountain wind, revealing a face full of aggression—high and sharp brow bones, a nose ridge as steep as a snow peak’s edge, and three black diamond earrings in his left ear glinted darkly as he turned his head.

The snowmobile team following him sketched a perfect arc in front of the rescue station, stopping neatly and kicking up a spray of snow mist.

Lu Jinyu’s face instantly turned pale.

He recognized the model of those motorbikes—they were the same limited edition as his own snowmobile, now appearing here as if they were ordinary transport tools, assembled as a team.

His fingers, resting on the handlebars, involuntarily twitched.

[Didn’t Lu Jinyu say his snowmobile was a limited edition? How come Brother Qi came over with an entire team?]

[Lu Jinyu’s bragged about being a limited edition, Brother Qi just wholesaled them, so powerful, I say!]

[Let’s not discuss Lu Jinyu for now, Brother Qi taking off his helmet had me replaying it on loop! Is he here to take Little Xu Station Chief up the mountain?]

Xu Ying’s climbing boots were sunken into the snow; she blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes at Qi Xiao: “Weren’t you supposed to appear in tomorrow’s recording?”

Her voice was drowned out by the residual hum of the engines, but she saw Qi Xiao already walking toward her, helmet in hand.

“Yes, I was.” Qi Xiao’s breath turned into white mist in the cold air, and he nonchalantly tossed the keys back to his teammates behind him with a fluidity as if he’d done it a thousand times, “Today we’re here to donate supplies to the Snow Mountain Rescue Station.”

Xu Ying suspiciously glanced over at the convoy; the six snowmobiles weren’t loaded with any supplies, and the back seats were all empty.

She asked in confusion, “Where are the supplies?”

Qi Xiao patted the machine beside him, its metal shell ringing with a crisp sound.

“These six snowmobiles are all being donated to the rescue station.”

His tone was calm, as if he were just giving away ordinary items.

The recording site suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Lu Jinyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, his face flushing as he clutched the key in his palm.

Jia Yao, surprised, glimpsed Lu Jinyu’s expression and laughed, “No wonder Boss Qi is so supportive of Little Xu Station Chief’s work!”

The live broadcast’s comments exploded:

[Fifty thousand per snowmobile just donated like that??]

[While Young Master Lu was still boasting about air freight costs, the real big shot already wholesaled the same models for charity]

Qi Xiao retrieved a smaller white helmet from the motorcycle’s trunk and walked towards Xu Ying. His footsteps left clear marks in the snow.

As he passed by Lu Jinyu, that carefully polished “limited edition” motorbike looked somewhat solitary in the frame.

Lu Jinyu’s fans on the comments broke down, [This must be staged! How could anyone donate an entire convoy, a few million just given away? Surely they’ll have to return them after the show!]

[Why target our brother? The entertainment industry really is too dark; even though our Brother Lu’s family is so wealthy, they’re still set up by capital like this.]

[On second thought, teammates are still the best, making our Brother Lu the group’s little darling. Coming onto a variety show and getting made into a joke by capital.]

Xu Ying blinked her eyes, her lashes dusted with fine snowflakes.

At a glance, the six imposing snowmobiles were overwhelmingly majestic.

She stared at Qi Xiao, as if trying to find a trace of jest in his calm eyes: “Really, just donated to the rescue station?”

Qi Xiao’s lips curved slightly, his phoenix eyes holding a faint hint of a smile, like sunlight accidentally spilling between the snow-capped mountains.

He raised his hand and gently brushed away the snowflakes that had fallen into her hair, his voice low and assured: “Yes, have I ever lied to you?”

Xu Ying instinctively shook her head; Qi Xiao was someone who wouldn’t even give the ear fox cubs an incomplete piece of the promised jerky.

“Get on then, don’t you still have a show to film?”

Without waiting for her to react, Qi Xiao had already picked up the helmet in his hand, his fingers undoing the strap.

He stood so close that Xu Ying could smell the crisp scent of cedar on him, mixed with the cool tones of motorbike leather, inexplicably reassuring.

“Bow your head,” he said softly.

Xu Ying unconsciously held her breath, slightly bowing her head. The warmth at his fingertips passed through the motorcycle gloves, softly brushing along her jawline.

His movement was steady and meticulous, not even pressing down on Xu Ying’s hair.

“All done.”

He chuckled softly, snapping down the visor on Xu Ying’s helmet with a click, his eyes arching slightly, “If we hit a bump, just hold onto my clothes.”

Xu Ying’s ears grew hot, and before she could come to her senses, Qi Xiao had already nimbly swung onto the motorbike, long legs grounded, stretching out his hand toward her.

She placed her palm in his, and with his steady pull, she lightly landed on the seat behind him.

[Ahhh, I’m dying from this! Qi Xiao has such strength, his boyfriend energy is off the charts.]

[Xixi! Xixi! Xixi!]

[From now on, every idol drama motorbike scene has a face, this height and size difference is perfect.]

[Qi Xiao’s hand gesture is so cool! Like saying ’Princess, please get on.’

The engine roared, and the team was ready to go.

The other riders also called for the guests to mount, and the engines’ sounds erupted in waves across the snow.

“Hold tight,” Qi Xiao’s voice came through the helmet’s built-in communicator, deep and clear.

The next moment, the convoy shot off like arrows from a bow.

The snow wind howled, and Xu Ying instinctively clutched the material at Qi Xiao’s waist.

His broad back shielded against most of the chilling wind, the motorbike racing across the snow yet astonishingly steady.

In the drone footage, Qi Xiao’s convoy sliced through the snowy veil like steel snow leopards in the mountains, sleek and fierce.

[I’m swooning, please, Qi Brother, be on more shows!]

[Help! That curve when the lead motorbike was leaned made my heart skip a beat!]

[Xu Station Chief looks so small on the back seat, such a good match!]

[Bring in the cavalry! Where’s Officer Chen? Is he on the scene? Come over and cut them off.]

[Laughing out loud, I have a wild idea, will Captain Chen suddenly appear and ticket Qi Xiao’s convoy later?]

Meanwhile, far behind, Lu Jinyu’s “limited edition” couldn’t keep up, like a domesticated cat out of its element, struggling but unable to catch up, appearing especially comical in the aerial shots.

[Dying of laughter, Young Master Lu’s bike is it not full? Why’s it going like an elderly sled dog?]

[Qi Xiao’s convoy must be modified, the performance outclassing is too harsh!]

[Qi Brother’s convoy is specially tuned for snow mountain terrain, Lu Jinyu’s bike is just for show, can it compare?]

The wind roared past her ears, and Xu Ying tightened her grip, Qi Xiao’s clothing warmly felt against her palm. Passing through the vast snow curtain, the snow mountains, the motorbike, and the warmth of the person in front of her, all felt so real that her heart raced.

With the support of the convoy, the six guests quickly arrived at the designated task site, Snow Lotus Planting Area A.

Xu Ying steadied herself against Qi Xiao’s firm arm and lightly hopped off the motorbike, her snow boots leaving two clear prints in the soft snow.

She tidied her windblown hair, raised the task card and timer, and announced in clear tones, “Welcome to the Snow Mountain Fate segment! Now, would the five star guests please set off to find your little animal partners!”

Off-camera, Qi Xiao leaned languidly against the snowmobile, arms folded across his chest.

Behind his goggles, his deep gaze followed Xu Ying’s figure, a faint smile playing at his lips.

As the command to begin the task was given, Ye Jie looked at the endless snow mountains and jagged rocks before her, her brow slowly knitting into a knot.

She wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself and cautiously raised her hand, “Little Xu Station Chief, in this vast snow mountain… could we get a hint?”
