Deviant: No Longer Human

As the mysterious skier approached, the surrounding students watched in awe, their whispers creating a buzz of excitement. The snow-clad figure skillfully maneuvered through the slopes, leaving behind a trail of admiration.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but be intrigued, his competitive spirit reignited by the unexpected appearance of this skilled skier. He exchanged a glance with Zhang Sisi, both recognizing the challenge that presented itself.

"Looks like we've got some real competition," Zhang Sisi remarked, a playful glint returning to her eyes.

Wang Xiao shook his head with a wry smile in response, recognizing the figure gracefully descending downwards. A thought flashed through his mind, "She would regret it..."

"Let's go after her!" Wang Xiao suddenly proposed, a spark of excitement in his eyes as he leaned forward.

"What!? Wait for me..." Zhang Sisi exclaimed, quick to follow suit. The duo surged forward, the anticipation of the impromptu competition propelling them into action, as a series of noises erupted before them.

"Wait up! We need to know who this mysterious skier is!" Zhang Sisi called out, her competitive spirit matching Wang Xiao's enthusiasm.

Wang Xiao chuckled, "Whoever it is, they've just stepped into our territory. Let's show them how it's done!"

??

Zhang Sisi didn't understood the sudden enthusiasm in Wang Xiao and nodded.

As Wang Xueying gracefully descended the slopes, the cold mountain air biting at her cheeks, she suddenly felt the distinct presence of two skiers behind her. Surprised, she swiveled around, and the snowy landscape revealed the familiar figure, "Xiao?" She called out.

??

The wind cutting through the snowy air made it challenging for Zhang Sisi's voice to carry, but she couldn't contain her curiosity. "Do you know her!?" she yelled, attempting to be heard over the rushing wind.

Wang Xiao chuckled, noting his sister's astonished expression. "Being all flashy, huh? Are you sure you can live peacefully after making such a show?"

The mysterious skier was none other than Wang Xueying, his sister.

"...", Wang Xueying knitted her brows in bewilderment, the eyes behind her goggles reflecting a hint of surprise. Taking a quick glance behind, she muttered, "No way!"

Meanwhile, the cliffside echoed with the voices of their classmates who had witnessed the unexpected twist.

"Look at that!"

"Wang Xueying is killing it!"

"Who knew she had such skills!"

The voices of their classmates created a lively soundtrack to the skiing spectacle.

"Wang Xueying is like a snow goddess!"

"I had no idea she could ski so well!"

"Is that Wang Xiao chasing her? This is epic!"

Zhang Sisi, catching bits of the comments, couldn't resist but inject her voice into the lively atmosphere, "Looks like the Wang siblings are stealing the show today!"

The announcement seemed to cast a spell over Wang Xueying's expression, transforming it from competence to a mix of surprise and self-questioning. "...What have I done?" she whispered to herself, caught off guard by the unexpected attention.

Wang Xiao, sensing the shift in his sister's mood, couldn't help but laugh in her discomfort. "Enjoying your sudden popularity already?" he teased with a hearty laugh.

Wang Xueying, her response tinted with both embarrassment and frustration, replied half-heartedly, "...No."

She wanted to be anything but popular, and Wang Xiao knew it. Thus, he teased her for what seemed like self-sabotaging actions on the snowy slopes.

"Come on, Wang Xueying! Show us more moves!"

"Yeah, give us a jump or something!"

The enthusiastic voices of their classmates continued, encouraging Wang Xueying to display more of her skiing prowess. The snowy landscape had turned into a arena of cheers and requests, and the pressure weighed on her.

Wang Xiao, still enjoying the spectacle, nudged her playfully. "Looks like they want a show. What are you waiting for, the Oscars?"

Wang Xueying, torn between amusement and reluctance, retorted, "I didn't sign up for this!"

Zhang Sisi, not entirely understanding the dynamics, grumbled in frustration, "Come on, why did you guys suddenly become so slow?!"

She couldn't fathom why someone wouldn't enjoy being in the spotlight?

Wang Xiao struggled to contain his laughter, "It's her who is slow," he pointed out, swiftly gliding past them.

Swish!

"Wait for me!" Zhang Sisi declared, effortlessly overtaking Wang Xueying like a breeze. Left alone, Wang Xueying found herself in the wake of her enthusiastic friends, grappling with what felt like an early midlife crisis on the snowy slopes.

The skiing adventure had taken an unexpected turn, leaving Wang Xueying both amused and bewildered.

"Come on, Wang Xueying, pick up the pace!"

"We want to see more of your moves!"

The voices of their classmates continued to echo, urging Wang Xueying to embrace her unintended popularity. The snowy slopes had transformed into a stage, and the spotlight was firmly on her.

Wang Xiao, now enjoying the situation thoroughly, teased, "Looks like you've become the star of the mountain, sis."

Wang Xueying, torn between the desire to enjoy the thrill of skiing and the reluctance of being the center of attention, responded, "I just wanted a peaceful ski trip!"

Zhang Sisi, catching up to Wang Xiao, added, "Well, peaceful trips are overrated. Embrace the fame!"

It wasn't that people didn't notice Wang Xiao and Zhang Sisi; both were already famous for quite different reasons. However, the unexpected spotlight now shifted to Wang Xueying, catching everyone off guard. None of them had anticipated her becoming the center of attention on this skiing trip.

Slightly away from the junior high students, the mixed crowd of senior high students, tasked with looking after the primary students, began grumbling and expressing their frustration. They found themselves unintentionally thrust into babysitting duties for their younger peers.

"Look at those three...." Wu Shenji couldn't help but whistle at the unexpected scene, catching him off guard.

"Are they filming a movie or something?"

"I wish our ski trips were this entertaining!"

The voices of the senior high students resonated with frustration and surprise.

Wu Shenji, still processing the unfolding scene, remarked to his friends, "Looks like we've got our entertainment for the day. Who would've thought Juniors would steal spotlight from us? Haha..."

His friends chuckled, and one of them teased, "Maybe we should join the junior high area and see the show up close.".

"Hey, Jiarong, you want to come and look around there?" Wu Shenji nodded eagerly, craving a break from their current scene.

Wang Jiarong, currently assisting Wang Mei, furrowed her brow. "Come where?" Her gaze narrowed towards the cliff, and then her eyes widened in sudden realization. "It's them..." she whispered.

Wang Mei's eyes betrayed a fleeting mix of emotions, but the thought of catching up with them didn't cross her mind; the slopes weren't her forte.

"You know them?" Wu Shenji couldn't help but notice and inquire.

Wang Jiarong hesitated for a moment before nodding. "The one on the left is my sister, and the one on the right is my brother. I don't know about the girl on the right; she must be their classmate..." she specified.

"Your siblings are skiing like pros!"

"Is that a race or something?"

The exclamations and questions from their classmates surrounded Wang Jiarong as she observed the scene unfolding on the slopes. Wu Shenji, eager for more information, couldn't resist probing further.

"Your family is full of skilled skiers, huh?"

Wang Jiarong chuckled, "Seems like it. They've been skiing since we were kids."

Wang Mei, listening to their conversation, chimed in, "Jiji, don't you want to join them?"

Wang Jiarong shook her head, "I'll pass. I prefer a more leisurely descent."

Wu Shenji, still intrigued, decided to tease, "Afraid you can't keep up?"

Wang Jiarong chuckled, "I'm afraid I'll leave them in the dust. No fun in that, right?"

Wu Shenji nodded in realization, his mind churning with curiosity. "The middle one is your brother, right?..." He began contemplating before suddenly announcing, "I would go and have a chat with him."

"??"

Wang Jiarong and Wang Mei turned towards him, their expressions reflecting a mix of surprise and suspicion. Wang Jiarong, not thrilled with the idea, frowned in displeasure, "Chat with him? What are you planning, Shenji?"

Wu Shenji flashed a casual smile, "Just a casual chat, can't I?"

Wang Jiarong warned, her tone carrying a note of caution, "You better not have any ill intentions..."

Wu Shenji chuckled, "Hey hey, why would I do that? Anyways, later..." he spoke, setting off after Wang Xiao, determined to match their pace on the slope. However, the trio was still quite a distance away, prompting him to mutter a frustrated, "Damn, these kids are fast!" beneath his breath.

On another part of the snowy expanse, Hao Zemin couldn't help but snort angrily as he moved towards Zhao Yang. "Brother Yang, do you see that?"

Zhao Yang nodded, a sinister smirk forming on his face. "Yes, don't worry. We'll teach him a lesson today," he declared.

Hao Zemin, eager for details, inquired, "What's the plan, though? Why haven't we discussed it yet?"

Zhao Yang's eyes flickered with a cunning light as he glanced towards his younger brother, Zhao Chen, who was awkwardly navigating the slopes. "We need a bait!" he announced ruthlessly, his mind already concocting a scheme for their revenge.
