Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Whatever she says, that's what it is.

The slightly drunken light gave the slender figure a golden coating, so dazzling that it was easy to get lost in the halo.

Yan Jiu blinked.

After setting up the tent, the four of them and their two dogs gathered around the table, eating and chatting. Zhu Shiqing was mainly talking to Yan Jiu. She recommended a lot of pet supplies, including leashes, canned food, toothbrushes, and recipes for preparing fresh food.

"But I don't do it often. I usually add canned food to dog food."

Yan Jiu's porcelain-white fingertips moved slightly as he wrote down the brand Zhu Shiqing mentioned in his phone's memo. Then he looked up and said, "Me too. Sometimes Aunt Hui cooks some vegetables for Ping An."

Zhu Shiqing's business activities aren't limited to Juancheng; she often travels around the country as a model or guest at events. She's visited numerous cities, sometimes bringing Billion along. She also discussed places suitable for self-drive trips and pet parks with swimming pools.

Yan Jiu listened quietly, a touch of envy welling up in his heart. Zhu Shiqing truly was a brilliant person, able to engage in conversation even with people she barely knew. She was also incredibly dedicated and exceptional at work, having traveled extensively and possessing strong executive abilities.

But Yan Jiu did not feel inferior because of this, she knew that everyone has different natures.

It's just that she is easily attracted to Zhu Shiqing.

Apart from the two ladies chatting happily, Gao Zhou and Chen Yuchu didn't say much.

Firstly, although today was a gathering among friends, Gao Zhou was still mindful of Chen Yuchu's identity as their boss. He had always been immersed in Chen Yuchu's stern aura and did not dare to chat with him.

Secondly, Chen Yuchu was not a talkative person. Even when he was with Shang Yu and the others, it was Shang Yu who did most of the talking.

Most of the time, Chen Yuchu focused his attention on Yan Jiu.

In the car, they didn't talk more. He didn't quite understand why Yan Jiu didn't want their child if he thought he was a good husband.

Although he had never been a father himself, he had seen many fathers and sons interact. He believed he could only do better than them. He could provide his children with the best material life and be their best teacher spiritually.

Chen Yuchu looked at Yan Jiu's pretty face and could already imagine how good-looking their child would be.

But since she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.

Zhu Shiqing and Yan Jiu continued chatting. She patted Ping An's head and said, "I think Xiaojiu is doing really well as this is his first time raising a dog! No wonder people say online that the best parents raising children now all have pets."

When mentioning "child", Yan Jiu subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuchu, who was rarely distracted.

Open flames were prohibited in the camp. They ate dinner at nearby farmers' houses. While the food was simple, the constant supply of tourists had shaped a regular business, and the dishes were simple but hygienic.

When the farmer learned that there were two more dogs, he prepared a boiled dinner for Ping An and Billion.

After dinner, they slowly walked up.

The sun gradually approached the horizon. Chen Yuchu turned on the flashlight, and the incandescent light cut through the dim road. Yan Jiu wanted to take the leash from him, but he shook his head. Facing Yan Jiu's puzzled look, his gaze fell calmly on her abdomen.

Yan Jiu's eyes subconsciously avoided Chen Yuchu. Although Chen Yuchu didn't say anything, she understood instantly and felt a little complicated.

She felt that there was no need to be so cautious, as it was simply unreliable. Later, she thought about it and felt that she might have been overthinking it. She and Chen Yuchu always took precautions, so it was impossible that they would fail to do so this one time.

Yan Hongsheng has a relative who has been trying to get pregnant for three years. Every year when someone asks about it at dinner, they always say that they are unlucky and have not gotten pregnant.

Yan Jiu has had average luck since she was a child. If she really won, she would want to buy a lottery ticket.

But with Zhu Shiqing and Gao Zhou present, Yan Jiu was too embarrassed to tell Chen Yuchu about this. She turned her gaze forward, a shimmering glint in her almond-shaped pupils. It was undeniable that she was feeling a surge of emotion.

By the time we reached the campsite on the top of the mountain, it had already darkened, with only a few stars hanging in the sky.

After saying good night to each other, Yan Jiu and Zhu Shiqing returned to their own tents.

It was still early, so she took out a book she had brought with her. She had already finished reading the previous book, "Normal People", and this was another book by the same author, "Chat Records".

Her soft fingertips touched the book, but she didn't immediately get into it. This book was not bought by her, but someone had placed it by her bed after she finished reading Normal People.

You don't have to guess to know that Chen Yuchu bought it for her to see.

Chen Yuchu usually doesn't read novels before going to bed. He mostly reads biographies or professional books. Yan Jiu would check what he was reading at first, but later she couldn't stand his fast reading speed and stopped paying attention to him. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuchu would notice that she had already finished a book.

The light in the tent was dim. Ping An had fallen asleep beside her. Yan Jiu stared at the pages of the book in front of her, but it took a long time before she turned a page. She bit her lips unconsciously, but deliberately controlled herself not to look to the side. She didn't want Chen Yuchu to know that her mind was full of images of him.

The cold woody aroma always lingered around Yan Jiu. Although she didn't look up, she could imagine their current scene.

Is there some harmony in this?

A slight noise from the neighboring tent brought Yan Jiu back to reality, and she pursed her lips. She and Chen Yuchu hadn't spoken in the tent. Zhu Shiqing, perhaps unaware of the poor soundproofing, had begun chatting with Gao Zhou. Their conversation was rambling, moving on to one topic one moment and something else the next.

Yan Jiu didn't mean to eavesdrop, he just didn't interrupt them when they said the first sentence, so he didn't know how to bring up the following topic.

Fortunately, Chen Yuchu did not intend to make any noise, thus avoiding the possibility of embarrassing Zhu Shiqing and Gao Zhou.

Yan Jiu's gaze withdrew from the pages of the book, her eyelids lifted up, and she finally looked at Chen Yuchu. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and trousers. The woody fragrance on his body had a light soothing effect, and his black and white eyes were looking at her.

Yan Jiu's sparkling eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he made a gesture to keep quiet.

They were only staying here for one night, and she didn't want to embarrass Zhu Shiqing and the others. Afterwards, she would find a reason to give her a new tent or think of other ways to give her a subtle reminder.

Chen Yuchu understood what she meant. Based on his judgment of people, he didn't think that Zhu Shiqing and Gao Zhou would be embarrassed. But Yan Jiu was different from him. She was always too easy to put herself in other people's shoes and consider the trivial things.

There is no need to even consider it.

But Chen Yuchu did not refute her, but nodded slowly.

Whatever she says, that's what it is.

Seeing this, Yan Jiu raised the corners of her lips slightly, but she soon discovered that Chen Yuchu did not look away. His eyes were still on her face, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his deep black eyes.

She curled up her fingertips that were holding the corner of the book and moved a little closer to Chen Yuchu. The closer she was to him, the more clearly she could smell his scent, as if she was completely enveloped by him.

Yan Jiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he still remembered his original intention. He took out his cell phone, tapped the screen, and typed a few words.

Yan Jiu: [What's wrong?]

Chen Yuchu bent his slender finger bones slightly and tapped gently.

Chen Yuchu: [Look at you.]

Yan Jiu's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly. He swallowed and suddenly didn't know how to react. A light red suddenly spread from his slender neck to the tips of his ears.

She tried her best to control her pounding heart, wondering how these three simple words could make it beat so fast. Yan Jiu had read romance novels before, and she had also been moved to tears by romantic movies, but she had never thought she could be so easily influenced.

Yan Jiu slowly put away his phone, waiting for his mood to calm down a little.

She moved back and wanted to sit back in her original position.

The next second, she was startled by the sudden appearance of a black shadow. A soft cry escaped her throat, but it was swallowed. His lips, wrapped in a hint of warmth, covered the syllables that escaped her mouth. Chen Yuchu steadily supported her retreating body, rubbing his fingertips on her smooth butterfly bones.

In the tent next door, Zhu Shiqing and Gao Zhou were still talking.

Zhu Shiqing asked with some confusion: "Did you hear any sound just now?"

"No." Gao Zhou said, "Maybe Billion is snoring. Do you know who it takes after? It takes after you, because you snore too, and loudly."

Zhu Shiqing patted the back of Gao Zhou's hand and retorted, "You are absolutely slandering me and ruining my reputation. You must compensate me for my mental damage!!!"

Gao Zhou: "Then how will you compensate me for my physical loss?"

There was silence for a while, and Zhu Shiqing asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Gao Zhou couldn't help laughing. "I mean, my ears are almost deafened by your snoring. What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Shiqing: "I'll give you a new nickname. Shameless Gao Zhou. Hey, did you really not hear any sound?"

Gao Zhou: "Maybe there are wolves in the mountains. Are you afraid? I'll protect you."

Zhu Shiqing: "It's annoying. I'm going to sleep."

Yan Jiu's soft eyes were being swallowed by the deep sea. She couldn't help but lean up, hoping to get more air. Chen Yu's first kiss became more and more intense, her tongue was firmly wrapped around it, and she tasted the sweet fragrance at the tip.

A burning and numb feeling surged up from her weak butterfly bone. Yan Jiu's brain was a little empty, and she let him seize it like conquering a city. A deep blush rose on her face.

Yan Jiu couldn't count how long it took before Chen Yuchu slowly let her go. She took deep breaths of the rare air, even feeling the pressure to the point of wanting to scream.

Can't scream.

There were still voices in the tent next door. It seemed that they were about to fall asleep, and their voices were a little low.

Yan Jiu's brain was both clear and confused. In order to suppress the possibility of making any sound, she even pinched herself with her fingertips. It was a little painful, but the pain made her sober instantly.

Completely realized what they had just done.

They kissed so passionately despite the poor sound insulation.

Zhu Shiqing and Gao Zhou were right next door.

In the enclosed space, the only sounds left were her slightly uneven breathing and the calm woody scent that enveloped her.

Chen Yuchu's broad, strong hands had been holding her, from the beginning until now. His dark eyes fell on the red marks left by her fingertips, and his calm face turned a little colder. His slightly rough fingertips pressed down and gently caressed her.

Shui Lingling's eyes trembled, and Yan Jiu subconsciously licked his wet red lips.
