In Episode 11 of "Ski into Love," things get heated on and off the slopes. Wei Zhi witnesses Lao Yan, her best friend Jiang Nanfeng's boyfriend, flirting with other women at dinner. These women are clearly interested in Lao Yan and ask him to teach them how to ski. Lao Yan, seemingly forgetting his promise to teach Wei Zhi, readily agrees. Wei Zhi is furious on her friend's behalf, feeling that Lao Yan has moved on too quickly. Jiang Nanfeng has to restrain her.
Determined to get back at Lao Yan and boost her friend's spirits, Wei Zhi texts her coach, Shan Chong, asking him to find someone "ten times more handsome" than Lao Yan to coach Jiang Nanfeng. Enter Dai Duo, a skilled skier who's always been just a step behind Shan Chong in competitions. Wei Zhi, impressed by Dai Duo's cool demeanor, convinces him to take Jiang Nanfeng as a student, partly by appealing to his connection with Shan Chong.
The next day, Dai Duo begins coaching Jiang Nanfeng. Lao Yan, who shows up with another trainee, is visibly upset seeing Jiang Nanfeng with a new, impressive coach. Wei Zhi finds the situation highly amusing. Dai Duo's excellent coaching helps Jiang Nanfeng improve rapidly, while Lao Yan is distracted and unfocused during his own training session. He regrets his earlier actions, realizing he might have pushed Jiang Nanfeng away for good. He had only wanted to make her a little jealous after she had blocked him on WeChat, but now it seems he might lose her.
As Dai Duo increases the intensity of Jiang Nanfeng's training, she unfortunately takes a fall, injuring her foot and arm. Dai Duo calls Wei Zhi, and after a check-up at the medical clinic, he carries Jiang Nanfeng back to her hotel.
Lao Yan, finishing his training, hesitates to message Jiang Nanfeng. A colleague mentions seeing Dai Duo carrying Jiang Nanfeng towards the hotel, making Lao Yan panic, thinking their relationship has progressed incredibly fast. He frantically calls Dai Duo, who innocently replies that Jiang Nanfeng is already in bed.
This misunderstanding sends Lao Yan over the edge. He confronts Shan Chong, demanding to know why he introduced Dai Duo to Jiang Nanfeng. In his anger, he throws Wei Zhi's snowboard, injuring Shan Chong's hand in the process. Wei Zhi, confused by Lao Yan's extreme reaction, takes Shan Chong to get his hand bandaged.
Meanwhile, Dai Duo is simply seeing the injured Jiang Nanfeng to her room. When he's about to leave, Lao Yan bursts in and starts a fight with Dai Duo, refusing to listen to any explanations. Jiang Nanfeng, unable to separate them, calls the police.
Jiang Nanfeng's brother arrives and clarifies the situation to the police, hoping to avoid any negative impact on the two athletes' careers. Lao Yan finally realizes his mistake and apologizes. Later, Shan Chong's sister calls Dai Duo, warning him that professional skiers must adhere to strict rules. She playfully punishes him with 100 squats, a penalty Dai Duo happily accepts, showing his deep affection for Shan Shan, who, despite being in a wheelchair, is the unique beauty in his eyes.
