Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Because I Think You’re Cold_1

Originally, you thought you two were the only ones hiking at midnight, only to find at the foot of the mountain that there were three couples preparing to hike.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

A girl who had just got dressed and ready to climb exclaimed upon seeing Wu Qiyi’s face clearly for the first time.

"My dear, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful."

The boy hurriedly stepped forward to grab his girlfriend’s hands, well aware of her temperament; if he didn’t make a gesture now, she would likely not give him a pleasant look for the next three days, or even a month, and would keep nagging him.

The girl touched the tip of her boyfriend’s nose with her finger and said with a smile, "Hmph, credit to you for being sensible. I was just testing you on purpose, you barely passed."

Wu Qiyi looked at the sweet couple and whispered softly, "It must be nice having someone who dotes on you."

Doting, indeed doting, and a headache!

You found yourself increasingly not understanding Wu Qiyi’s thoughts; what on earth was this girl up to!

Seeing the consternation on your face, Wu Qiyi immediately said with a smile, "Let’s go, let’s go, we’re heading up the mountain."

Watching her cheerful figure, you sighed softly and quickened your pace to follow.

As expected, the trail up Hua Mountain was as steep as you had imagined. Interestingly, even though the night wind was cold on the mountain, and the path underfoot unclear, there were still many people walking slowly on the trail.

Among these people, couples were in the majority, though there were also some traveling companions, and you even saw two elderly people with white hair.

The two old people walked slowly, very leisurely, yet steadily.

Hand in hand, they climbed the mountain steps one at a time.

One hunched over, the other bent at the waist, they walked side by side.

You and Wu Qiyi followed right behind the two elderly people; at this point, the path you were on, colloquially known as "One Line Sky", had rock walls on both sides, with occasional rocks wedged above your head as if a light touch could cause them to tumble down.

"Youngsters, we’re moving slow, you go ahead," said the white-haired old man, turning his head and smiling at you.

You were about to say thanks when Wu Qiyi suddenly spoke up with a smile to the old man, "Grandpa, we’re in no hurry, and, being behind you is kind of a safety net for us."

The white-haired old lady turned around, looking at Wu Qiyi with a smile. When she spoke, you noticed she had very few teeth left, but it didn’t look comical; instead, it gave a sense of warmth, and at that moment, you suddenly missed your own grandmother.

"Young lady, how old are you?"

"Eighteen," Wu Qiyi replied with a smile.

"Oh, eighteen, you’re really pretty," the old lady said, then looked at you with another smile, "And this young man, what is he to you?"

"He... he is..."

Wu Qiyi was momentarily at a loss for words, and the white-haired old lady, seeing Wu Qiyi holding your hand, said with a smile, "Is he pursuing you?"

Wu Qiyi blushed and nodded slightly.

"I..."

Just as you were about to speak, the old lady said, "Young man, while you are still young, you should definitely take her to travel more. Don’t be like this old fella; it wasn’t until I was nearly in my coffin that he took me out, now trying to be romantic like the young ones, sigh."

Though the old lady sighed, you could read a unique sense of happiness on her face.

"You old woman are the most nagging," the white-haired old man turned his head and teased her with a laugh.

You looked at the two old people in front of you, feeling as if a bonfire had been lit inside your heart, making the biting cold wind feel much cooler.

Perhaps out of concern for the safety of the two elderly people, you and Wu Qiyi also slowed down, accompanying them along the steep mountain path.

With your help, the two elderly people spent about four hours reaching the summit of the mountain.

When they reached the summit, it was just past one in the morning, and there was still time before sunrise.

The wind at the summit was stronger and colder than at the foot of the mountain, and the two elderly people had not brought any warming tools, shivering in the cold wind.

Seeing this, Wu Qiyi naturally took off your backpack, and together you set up a tent in the area where everyone else was camping. Afterwards, Wu Qiyi said to the two elderly people, "Grandpa, Grandma, it’s cold outside, please go in."

"We really shouldn’t, really shouldn’t."

The white-haired old man quickly declined, while the old lady took your and Wu Qiyi’s hands with her slightly icy ones, then put your hands together. When you touched the back of Wu Qiyi’s hand, something trembled deep within your soul!

"Girl, thank you."

Having said that, the old lady led her husband slowly into the tent.

"Now we have no place to rest, you’re not mad at me, are you?" Wu Qiyi turned and looked at you.

You smiled and shook your head, taking Wu Qiyi’s hand, the two of you walked behind a rock that shielded you from the wind, and you took off your jacket to drape it over her.

"I’m not cold," Wu Qiyi hastily shook her head.

"I know you’re not cold, but I think you are."

At that moment, Wu Qiyi was stunned for at least three seconds. She turned her head slightly, and it took quite a while before she turned around and then threw herself into your arms!

"Wu..."

She cried.

It sounded very sad, very sad indeed.

You didn’t know why she was crying so sadly, but you did know that what you could give her now was only the warmth of your embrace and a gentle, whisper-like consolation.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, I am here, right here..."

Crying and crying, it seems that after she got tired, she quietly fell asleep in your arms.

While holding her, under the white moonlight that poured down from above, you watched her quietly. You watched the girl who once haunted your dreams. She was sleeping soundly, sweetly; perhaps she was having a good dream...

"Look, the sun is rising!"

After an indefinite amount of time, when someone exclaimed, Wu Qiyi, who was sleeping soundly in your arms, slowly opened her eyes.

"Morning."

You showed her the customary smile you always had.

"Morning." She appeared a bit shy, just like the first time you saw her years ago.

At this moment, the clouds at the edge of the sky were dyed gold. They hurt your eyes, but they illuminated both your hearts...

Two hours later, in Yuhang City, in front of the gate of Jiangzhe University.

A Maserati convertible sports car roared into view amid the envious stares of countless males. At that moment, a handsome man dressed in a sharp tailored suit with sleekly styled hair stepped out of the car. Amidst the starry-eyed stares of many female students, he approached three girls.

Suddenly, he knelt on one knee in front of the girl in the middle, and from his chest, he presented a diamond ring of at least five carats.

"Miss Zhao’er, you are the sun of my heart! From the first time I saw you, I have been inexplicably, incredibly, hopelessly in love with you. Please accept me, I will definitely make you hap..."

"Bang!"

No sooner had the handsome man spoken than he was knocked flying by a burst of energy!

Zhao’er, with her peerless beauty, frowned slightly. Clearly, she seemed somewhat displeased, "Noisy."
