Chapter 20 My love for you is giving you everything.

Chu Rou was stunned by the question. Should she tell Shen Luo that she had been blocked on the road and her car had been smashed?

“Her car was sent for repairs; it got scratched last night,” Mo Chi explained from the side.

Shen Luo looked worried. "Sis, were you driving too fast tonight? If you keep speeding, I'm going to call Mom."

Chu Rou narrowed her eyes, and Shen Luo shrank her neck. "I'm just concerned about you, don't look at me like that."

Mo Chi unlocked the car. "Open my car."

Mo Chi opened the passenger door and pulled Chu Rou over, saying, "Girlfriend, sit next to me."

Chu Rou readily accepted and sat in the passenger seat.

Shen Luo didn't say anything and simply sat down in the back.

They were going to pick up Ye Xia from school, so Shen Luo sent Ye Xia a message beforehand.

When they arrived at the school gate, Ye Xia was already waiting there.

Looking through the car window, Chu Rou saw a sweet-looking girl, about the same height as herself, around 165 cm. Ye Xia was a bit slimmer than her.

When Chu Rou saw Ye Xia's clothes, she raised an eyebrow. If she wasn't mistaken, Ye Xia's clothes and backpack must have cost at least ten thousand yuan.

Are female college students all this rich these days? Considering she's a white-collar worker earning 20,000 yuan a month, she only buys clothes that cost a few hundred yuan. Isn't that too much of a waste on herself?

Shen Luo rolled down the car window and called out to Ye Xia, "Ye Xia, over here!"

Ye Xia ran over happily. She opened the passenger door and her smile faded when she saw Chu Rou, but she quickly realized what was happening and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't know there were people here."

Chu Rou smiled at Ye Xia, "It's okay, Shen Luo is behind us."

Ye Xia closed the passenger door and got into the back seat.

Shen Luo's eyes were full of Ye Xia, and she asked a bunch of useless questions. Ye Xia answered patiently, keeping a smile on her face the whole time.

Chu Rou was speechless at Shen Luo's behavior. Her younger brother had been forcibly brainwashed by love. However, thinking about her own experience, she didn't seem to have any right to criticize Shen Luo.

After dealing with Shen Luo, Ye Xia turned her gaze to Chu Rou in front of her. She asked in a low voice, but everyone in the car could hear, "Shen Luo, who is this lady?"

“She is my older sister, Chu Rou,” Shen Luo replied.

"Cough!" Chu Rou coughed twice.

Shen Luo understood what Chu Rou meant and continued, "She... is also Mo Chi's girlfriend."

Shock flashed in Ye Xia's eyes, and she stammered, "Your sister...she...is Mo Chi's girlfriend?"

Shen Luo scratched his head, feeling a little awkward lying to the person he liked. He gave a vague "hmm".

Chu Rou turned to Ye Xia and asked, "What, do you think I'm too old and not a good match for Mo Chi?"

“No,” Ye Xia shook her head and explained, “I didn’t know Mo Chi had a girlfriend, so I was a little surprised.”

Chu Rou didn't speak, and the car suddenly fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Ye Xia's eyes darted around, taking in the car's interior before she asked, "Mo Chi, is this your car?"

Mo Chi usually keeps a low profile. He always walks to school with Shen Luo and rarely drives there. When he does drive there, he parks outside the school gate. Apart from Shen Luo, no one knows that Mo Chi has a car.

Mo Chi didn't want to answer Ye Xia's question.

“I bought him the car,” Chu Rou suddenly interjected from the side.

Mo Chi glanced at Chu Rou but did not deny it.

Shen Luo covered her mouth and coughed.

Ye Xia was shocked again, "Sister is so rich!"

Chu Rou said modestly, "I don't have much money, but I'm willing to spend it on my son, Mo Bao. All my salary goes to him, so Mo Bao loves me wholeheartedly."

“I never spend more than 500 yuan on clothes for myself,” Chu Rou tugged at Mo Chi’s clothes, “but the clothes I buy for Mo Bao…”

Chu Rou touched the fabric of Mo Chi's clothes and thought it was very nice, but she didn't know much about men's clothing and didn't know the price range for men's clothing of this quality.

She had bought clothes for He Wei a few times before, but He Wei complained that they were too childish, so she stopped buying clothes for him.

"Mo Bao, how much did I pay for this outfit again?" Chu Rou asked with a grin.

Mo Chi glanced at her. "Eight thousand."

Chu Rou was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled her hand away from Mo Chi's clothes. "I actually bought you such expensive clothes!"

Mo Chi sneered, "Yeah, you bought me a set of clothes that cost you a month's salary. You're really generous to me."

"My love for you is giving you everything," Chu Rou said tenderly.

Mo Chi's eyes sparkled, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Shen Luo covered her mouth tightly, afraid of telling the truth, and even more afraid of vomiting.

Ye Xia was also stunned by the conversation between the two. Did Shen Luo's sister spend money to support Mo Chi?

She thought Mo Chi was very rich, since he wore brand-name clothes. She never expected that a woman had bought them for him.

Ye Xia glanced at Shen Luo beside her, her brows furrowing imperceptibly. She thought to herself that neither of the siblings seemed very bright and they were easy to fool.

The car remained quiet for the rest of the journey, and we arrived at Zhuoling Mountain in peace.

Zhuoling Mountain is famous for its maple trees. In this season, the maple leaves are turning red, and the mountain is covered with a mix of red, yellow and green. The sound of flowing water can be heard in the ears, and a deep breath of the air is the scent of nature, which is refreshing and invigorating.

The troubles of everyday life are left behind here, one's state of mind is elevated, and one only wants to immerse oneself in it.

"It's so beautiful!" Chu Rou exclaimed. "Every time I come here, I don't want to go back."

The four of them walked up the mountain.

Chu Rou and Mo Chi walked in front, while Shen Luo, carrying a bag, and Ye Xia followed behind.

At first, it was okay, and Ye Xia was able to keep up. But when she had climbed a quarter of the way up, she was covered in sweat, breathing heavily, and her back and legs ached.

"Shen Luo!" Ye Xia bent over, resting her hands on her knees, and called out to Shen Luo, who was walking forward on her own.

Shen Luo turned around upon hearing the voice, "Ye Xia, keep up!"

Ye Xia lowered her head, wanting to curse. If she could keep up, why would she need to call him?

She straightened up, sweat streaming down her temples. "I really can't walk anymore. Can I rest for a while?"

When Shen Luo returned, she noticed that Ye Xia's once flowing hair was now damp with sweat and matted, with the hair at her temples sticking to her cheeks, making her look quite disheveled.

"Ye Xia, why are you sweating so much?"

"I'm so tired." Ye Xia wanted to lie down on the ground to rest.

Shen Luo looked around and saw a pavilion about fifty meters ahead. "Hang in there a little longer, there's a pavilion ahead, let's go and rest."

Ye Xia looked up and saw that the pavilion wasn't too far away. She could only nod and stretched out her hand, "Then hold my hand!"

Shen Luo blushed and took Ye Xia's hand, pulling her towards the pavilion.

Chu Rou and Mo Chi stood on the pavilion looking down. Chu Rou smiled and said, "My idea was really good. Look, they've both held hands."
