Chapter 14

"I'll accompany you." After saying this, Ji Jinsi walked to the door and signaled Luo Qingli to hurry up.

"I didn't invite you to join me..." Luo Qingli muttered as he walked to the door.

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late." Ji Jinsi said after looking at his watch.

Seeing that a lot of time had been wasted, Luo Qingli didn't want to argue with Ji Jinsi about this issue, so he could only take Ji Jinsi with him reluctantly, but he didn't notice the dark gaze of the man behind him.

Ji Jinsi is a person who never gives up easily on what he wants. He is best at using roundabout strategies.

If you walk along the path on the left side of the house, you will reach the back mountain.

Luo Qingli and Ji Jinsi walked side by side. The bag that was originally a bit big for her to carry suddenly became much smaller on Ji Jinsi's back.

She couldn't help but glance at the sportswear he was wearing.

I've heard from Ji Jinsi's assistant before that Ji Jinsi always has multiple plans prepared. In order to prevent clients from making sudden requests, Ji Jinsi always has clothes for various occasions in his car. It seems to be true.

Ji Jinsi is truly terrifying! Luo Qingli came to this conclusion.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingli was so focused on the sneak peek that he didn't pay attention to his feet for a moment and was suddenly tripped by a branch.

Just as she was about to fall into the bushes beside her, Ji Jinsi reached out and grabbed her waist, saving her.

"If you want to watch it, you can watch it openly. There's no need to be so sneaky."

Ji Jinsi let go of his hand, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his tone.

Luo Qingli calmed his violent heartbeat and his face felt a little hot.

What do you mean by looking secretly? She wasn't looking at him because of Ji Jinsi's beauty!

Because of this little episode, Luo Qingli kept his eyes straight ahead the whole way and never dared to glance at Ji Jinsi again.

The path extends all the way to the mountain, where there is a large bamboo forest. Walking under the bamboo forest, the breeze blows and the original stuffiness immediately dissipates.

Listening to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, Luo Qingli's mood immediately improved.

She has always loved the sounds of nature and the faint fragrance of the bamboo forest.

Perhaps, the next series could consider the scent of bamboo? Luo Qingli pondered, completely forgetting that there was a living person beside him.

Ji Jinsi followed Luo Qingli silently. He was a quiet person and seemed a little cold on weekdays. Luo Qingli had been with him for so long and had never seen him get emotional.

As time passed, the sun's heat became much less, and Luo Qingli finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

A large area on the top of the mountain is not covered with bamboo, but is replaced by a large and neat area of ​​tea trees.

These tea trees are all famous local large-leaf tea trees. During the picking season, Luo Qingli will fry the picked tea leaves and give them to his friends and fellow villagers.

The mountain breeze brought the fragrance of tea, which made Luo Qingli, who was originally a little breathless, feel refreshed.

She stopped to wipe the sweat off her face, and her eyes unconsciously fell on Ji Jinsi beside her. She found that this man was not blushing or out of breath, as if he had not climbed the mountain with her.

She had always known that Ji Jinsi had great physical strength, but now, in comparison, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

Ji Jinsi noticed her little action and asked, "Are you tired? Take a break?"

In fact, Luo Qingli also wanted to rest for a while, but looking at the sun that was beginning to set, he knew that if he rested any longer, he would not be able to reach the valley before dark, so he decisively refused.

"No more rest, there's not enough time." Luo Qingli said, wiped the sweat off his face, and continued to move forward.

Next is the way down the mountain, which will be much easier than climbing up the mountain.

There is still a bamboo forest on the back of the mountain. The mountain road has been specially repaired and is easy to walk on. Luo Qingli finds it much easier to walk.

Plus, with someone to help me carry my backpack, it was easier than I thought.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingli looked at Ji Jinsi beside him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?" Luo Qingli asked suddenly.

"Don't worry, you can't sell me." Ji Jinsi's tone remained calm.

He was still as confident as ever, but Luo Qingli knew that Ji Jinsi had the capital to be confident. She had always believed in Ji Jinsi's abilities.

We continued walking down the mountain road and finally reached the valley before the sun set.

Coming out of the path in the bamboo forest, the view suddenly becomes open. In a small valley, a stream winds through. There is a large area of ​​green grass on both sides of the stream. If you look closely, you can see flower buds dotted in the green.

"We're here." Luo Qingli walked to a large flat rock.

This big rock just gave her a place to set up her tent, and it was a natural viewing platform.

"Give me the bag, let's set up the tent first." Luo Qingli said to Ji Jinsi.

Ji Jinsi put down his bag, Luo Qingli took out the tent from the bag and started to set it up.

Ji Jinsi had obviously never set up a tent before, so he could only stand aside and watch Luo Qingli's actions, but after a while, he understood what was going on and helped Luo Qingli.

Luo Qingli couldn't help but be amazed in his heart, what a terrible learning ability!

When the sun completely sank into the bottom of the mountain and the tent was set up, Luo Qingli took out the small lamp he had prepared and lit it, then took out the cooking utensils specially used for camping and began to prepare dinner.

God knows, after exercising for so long, she must be starving!

After setting up a small table and placing the gas stove, Luo Qingli opened the bag of ingredients prepared by Aunt Lin. Unexpectedly, in addition to the instant noodles she needed, there was also a bag of skewers of meat and even two apples after the meal!

She said that her bag felt heavier than before, and she thought it was because she didn't exercise regularly and her health had deteriorated. It turned out that it was because her aunt stuffed this thing in her bag.

Luo Qingli glanced at Ji Jinsi who was installing the gas stove, and suddenly wondered if he had some magical powers. How did he know that her aunt had brought her extra food? She had originally planned to eat instant noodles herself and give Ji Jinsi the bread for breakfast tomorrow.

Maybe the current environment is too relaxed, which makes Luo Qingli want to play a trick on Ji Jinsi.

She sat down on the stone, looked up and asked Ji Jinsi: "I only brought my own dinner, you will have nothing to eat."

Ji Jinsi was just filling up the gas tank when he heard Luo Qingli's words. He replied, "It's okay to skip a meal. Sometimes when the company gets busy, it's okay to skip a meal or two."

Luo Qingli had also heard that Ji Jinsi worked very hard, but she always thought it was a rumor.

The eldest son of the Ji family, actually didn't eat? How could it be possible? The servants must have brought the food to him.

But now that Ji Jinsi said it, it actually confirmed the rumor.

A strange emotion surged in his heart. Luo Qingli cleared his throat and changed the subject, saying, "This place is so dirty. You came with me just to suffer."

Unexpectedly, Ji Jinsi didn't say anything, but instead followed Luo Qingli's example and sat cross-legged on the stone.

Luo Qingli widened her eyes, "Are you really Ji Jinsi?" she murmured.

"What?" Ji Jinsi didn't hear Luo Qingli's words clearly.

"Nothing." Luo Qingli shook his head, took out the grill and placed it on the stove, then took out the skewers from the bag and said, "You are a guest when you come to my place. How could I let a guest go hungry? Aunt Lin's pickled barbecue is delicious. You are welcome to come."

The skewers of meat were placed on the fire, making a sizzling sound. Under the light of a small lamp, Ji Jinsi's originally indifferent eyes and brows were actually tinged with a hint of warmth.

Luo Qingli had never seen Ji Jinsi like this before.

Suddenly, a warm feeling covered her hand. Luo Qingli subconsciously retracted her hand and saw Ji Jinsi pick up the skewers of meat she was holding and started flipping them.

"Let me bake it, and you can just focus on watching me."

Luo Qingli was filled with regret. What on earth had happened today? Why couldn't he control his eyes?

No, it must be because Ji Jinsi was too weird today, so she couldn't help but look at him!

Luo Qingli was trying to save face by saying, "I didn't want to see you, it's because you were so weird today!"

"Am I weird? Not really."

"Suddenly running over, suddenly asking me strange questions, suddenly becoming so gentle... well, isn't it strange?" Luo Qingli accidentally let the cat out of the bag and quickly made up for it.

"I just learned how to raise kittens."

Just like Xiaoli, it is arrogant and irritable, and occasionally loses its temper, but as long as he reaches out and touches its head, it will become well-behaved and cute.

Luo Qingli naturally didn't know what Ji Jinsi was thinking. She retorted, "Are you implying that I'm a cat? I'm a lion, a strong lion!"

Ji Jinsi didn't reply, but handed a skewer of meat to Luo Qingli, "Okay, eat it."

The tempting aroma of meat made Luo Qingli's already empty stomach even hungrier. He remembered that it had been a long time since he had eaten the barbecue marinated by Aunt Lin.

Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, Luo Qingli took the skewer, blew on it slightly, and took a bite immediately.

Wow, the meat is tender and juicy, with a salty and fragrant taste. It’s worthy of Aunt Lin’s craftsmanship!

Seeing Luo Qingli eating the skewers with an intoxicated look on her face, Ji Jinsi reached out and touched her head as if possessed.

As cute as a little pear.

Luo Qingli was startled when he was suddenly touched on the head, and then he saw Ji Jinsi withdrew his hand and continued to grill the meat as if nothing had happened. The words got stuck in his throat and he didn't say them in the end.

After they finished a handful of barbecue and a bag of instant noodles, they packed up their things. Luo Qingli washed the two apples with water, gave one to Ji Jinsi, and ate one himself.

Luo Qingli sat on the ground, watching the valley in front of him gradually brighten up under the moonlight, waiting for the moment when the evening primrose would bloom.

Ji Jinsi, who was sitting next to him, asked, "You came here so late at night just to eat barbecue?"

"Of course not. Just wait and see."

Thinking of the beautiful scenery that he was about to see, Luo Qingli suddenly kept it a secret. Ji Jinsi had seen so many beautiful scenery, so would he be shocked when he saw this kind of scenery?

Luo Qingli was very much looking forward to it.

Luo Qingli turned off the small lamp, the moonlight moved above the valley, the breeze brought a faint fragrance of flowers, and under the moonlight, a field of light pink flowers gradually opened.

As the fragrance of the flowers grew stronger, the flowers in the entire valley bloomed, covering the mountains and fields, like a beautiful carpet woven with flowers.
