The field was clean, free of debris. Xue Rui subconsciously assumed that beneath the blanket of white snow, there was only the synthetic track and the grass lawn—nothing that could trip him.
So, he ran recklessly, unafraid of bumping into anything behind him.
However, he'd forgotten about the drainage ditches beside the track...
Still, he wasn't too worried. As long as he held on tight to Gu Muxue, everything would be fine.
"Ah!" Gu Muxue scrambled to her feet, afraid Xue Rui would get hurt.
But the moment she stood up, Xue Rui lost his support, and they both tumbled to the ground together.
Behind Xue Rui was the soft, grassy lawn, covered by a thick layer of snow, so he wasn't injured or in much pain when he fell.
The biggest impact, in fact, came from Gu Muxue landing on top of him.
Xue Rui lay flat on his back in the snow. Having been pulled down with him, Gu Muxue was now lying on top of him.
They were now practically face-to-face.
