Chapter 137 Climbing Mountains
Chapter 137 Climbing Mountains
The morning breeze carried a slight chill, instantly calming the two passionate people down considerably.
"Let's go! I'll take you over there. From that hilltop, you can see the outline of Jiangcheng," Lu Mingxuan said, pointing to the hill not far ahead.
"it is good"
Song Qiao lowered her head and answered.
Her face was burning hot, and after leaving Lu Mingxuan's embrace, she kept her head down, her ears turning completely red.
She thought to herself: Have I become an immoral woman? I have my own marriage, yet I'm doing this with Lu Mingxuan?
"what happened?"
When Lu Mingxuan noticed Song Qiao's expression, he looked down at her and asked.
"No...it's nothing."
Song Qiao has a habit of turning her ears very red whenever she is shy. She quickly covered her ears with her hands and made an excuse that it was windy.
"Oh, I know, you're shy!" Lu Mingxuan immediately exposed her.
Song Qiao gave him a reproachful look: "Who's shy!"
After she finished speaking, the person in front of her started running. She was wearing a pair of low-heeled leather shoes and a camel-colored coat, which made her look exquisite and elegant.
"Wait for me!"
After realizing what was happening, Lu Mingxuan chased after her and took her hand, saying, "Climbing the mountain is tiring, let me hold your hand."
Song Qiao doesn't usually have time to exercise, especially in recent years, as she has devoted all her time to Jiang Ming and Jiang Xiaoran. She was out of breath after running just a few steps.
"My body is really not good enough; I can't climb this far."
Lu Mingxuan looked at her: "How about I carry you up?"
Song Qiao looked at him: "My health isn't that bad, is it?"
Lu Mingxuan smiled and said, "As long as you don't want to walk anymore, I'll carry you on my back. It has nothing to do with your physical condition. You saw it last night; I'm all muscle. I can handle this job."
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao's face flushed red again. She broke free from his hand and walked uphill alone.
What's wrong with this guy? Why bring up something he shouldn't have? She was already embarrassed enough by not mentioning what happened last night, and he still brought it up?
"Lu Mingxuan, hurry up!"
After running up in a panic for a while, Song Qiao found herself surrounded by empty space. A cool breeze blew, and the heat on her face subsided. She turned around and looked at Lu Mingxuan standing there, calling out to him.
"coming!"
Lu Mingxuan, with his long strides, quickly caught up with Song Qiao.
"Tired?"
Despite Song Qiao's efforts to control the frequency of her heavy breathing, she still couldn't get enough air out of her lungs.
"A little!"
Not admitting defeat would only lead to embarrassment later, so Song Qiao decided to concede.
"Let me hold your hand."
Fortunately, Lu Mingxuan didn't bring up anything that would embarrass Song Qiao again, and the two arrived at the hilltop in no time.
Lu Mingxuan climbed onto the meter-high rock first and extended his hand to Song Qiao: "Come on! Give me your hand, come up here!!"
After all, Song Qiao's legs were short, and she tried several times but failed to get up. Lu Mingxuan bent down and said, "Give me that hand too."
Song Qiao gave both of her hands to Lu Mingxuan, who then lifted her up by her body.
Once she got up there, Song Qiao realized that her fear of heights had flared up again. She looked down at her feet with a timid expression and kept moving closer to Lu Mingxuan.
"What? Are you scared?"
"Lu Mingxuan, it didn't look that high from below, but now that we're up here, it's so high, I'm afraid to move."
Song Qiao decided to back down.
"Look into the distance, don't look at your feet."
After Lu Mingxuan said this, he put his arms around her body. Song Qiao felt a little safe this time, and her gaze gradually turned to Jiangcheng City in the distance.
"Mingxuan, I saw your family's hospital!"
Song Qiao exclaimed with surprise in her eyes.
"Yes! Look over there again."
Song Qiao looked in the direction Lu Mingxuan was pointing and exclaimed with delight, "Isn't that the Urban Construction Company's building?"
Lu Mingxuan nodded: "Last time I came here alone, I stood here thinking about when I could enjoy the scenery of Jiangcheng with you."
Because of Song Qiao's excitement, she forgot how she had been trembling just moments before and actually took a step forward. But this one step scared Lu Mingxuan so much that his soul almost left his body.
"Don't move! Have you forgotten what's under your feet?"
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan regretted it, because he noticed that Song Qiao's face suddenly turned pale.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just reminding you."
Despite being held by Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao was still afraid, and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Lu Mingxuan, I don't want to watch anymore, I want to go down."
But it was impossible for her to get down by herself. Lu Mingxuan looked at her and put his arm around her, saying, "Sit down. I'll carry you down after I get down."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan slowly placed her on the rock. Even as he jumped down, he didn't let go of her hand. He turned back to look at her and said, "Put your hands on my neck, and I'll carry you down."
Song Qiao had no other choice but to obey Lu Mingxuan's wishes. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he lifted her down.
When her feet touched the ground, Song Qiao's heart finally calmed down. She touched her chest and said, "That scared me to death."
“You just lack exercise. Next time you come, let’s go to that hilltop. There’s a kind of wild fruit there that you’ve never eaten before. It’s on the trees this season. Just pick it, crack it open, and you can eat it.”
Lu Mingxuan described the scenery on the nearby hilltop, while Song Qiao looked worriedly into the distance and asked, "Can I climb up there?"
"Sure, you forgot about me."
Song Qiao was in a great mood. In this cool, clear morning, she felt a challenge she had never experienced before, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He glanced down at the time: "Let's go, we need to get back to work!"
"Okay, let's go home for dinner. Aunt Yun has probably already prepared breakfast and is waiting for us."
The two walked down the mountain hand in hand. Song Qiao was in a good mood the whole way, as if she had returned to her lively self before she got married.
After descending the mountain and arriving at the villa's entrance, they discovered that Lu Wenguang and Yun Miao were no longer there. The two of them pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
"came back?"
Lu Wenguang was watering the vegetable garden in the yard when Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan heard the sound and looked over.
"Grandpa, if I hadn't seen you practicing Tai Chi, I would have thought you relied on a cane to walk every day."
As Song Qiao spoke, she walked to the vegetable garden.
"That cane you're talking about? That's my weapon."
Song Qiao didn't understand what he meant and looked at Lu Mingxuan beside her.
He smiled and explained, "My grandfather's cane has many uses. First, it can be used as a weapon to hit people. For example, if I misbehaved, he would use it to hit me. Second, the cane is also a mortar and pestle. Third, it is also a tool for my grandfather to unblock meridians."
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao looked delighted: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! But the first one hasn't been used in a long time; this kid has been very obedient lately."
Lu Wenguang looked at Lu Mingxuan and said that at this moment, he was as mischievous as a big kid.
"You're back? Come and eat, the food is ready!" Yunmiao came out of her room when she heard voices.
