Chapter 128 Something Happened! The Calm Before the Storm
After a long night of fussing, Shi Yang and Ji Peiheng finally returned home.
She skipped upstairs, grabbed something, and came back downstairs.
"Next comes the real surprise."
She took out a small, square velvet box.
Inside the box lay a shimmering sailboat brooch.
The patterns on the hull and the mast are meticulously carved, with each pattern varying in depth. Even the detail of the beige enamel canvas billowing in the wind is beautifully depicted.
Ji Peiheng stared at it for a few moments, then shifted his gaze from the brooch to her face: "You made this."
Shi Yang smiled and said, "Hey, this is a birthday gift I designed and carved myself."
Do you like it?
Ji Peiheng nodded: "I like it."
He likes anything she gives him, let alone something she made herself.
Shi Yang's smile deepened; it was worth it for her to have gone to such lengths to learn carving.
Shi Yang stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his face: "May you overcome all obstacles and have everything go smoothly."
...
Taking advantage of Ji Peiheng's birthday, and at Wen Wanwan's strong suggestion, everyone decided to go to Nanming Mountain to watch the meteor shower.
Last time they went to Nanming Mountain to soak in the hot springs, and their original plan was to climb the mountain the next day to watch the sunrise.
However, he was unable to go because of Shi Yue's interference.
Wen Wanwan felt regretful for a long time, and took this opportunity to ask to go hiking again.
Especially during this season, you can not only see the sunrise, but also have a high probability of seeing meteor showers at night.
Wen Huai'an slapped her on the back of the head, annoyed: "You're so excited, it's not your birthday."
Wen Wanwan scoffed, "I was just making a suggestion."
After saying that, she looked at Shi Yang expectantly.
Shi Yang couldn't help but chuckle. She had asked Ji Peiheng beforehand, and Ji Peiheng said he didn't care where they went.
Wherever she is, he will be there too.
Seeing how much Wen Wanwan wanted to go, Shi Yang said, "Then let's listen to Wanwan and go see the meteor shower."
Wen Wanwan happily hugged Shi Yang's arm and wouldn't let go: "My sister-in-law still loves me the most."
As always, Nanming Mountain attracts many tourists, especially recently due to the possibility of a meteor shower, which has led to even more crowds gathering there.
Shi Yang and his group started climbing the mountain before dawn.
Lu Qingqing was busy with work and didn't come.
Before leaving, Shi Yang was still a little worried about Wen Huai'an and Xie Ran, after all, they had just finished receiving intravenous fluids.
Xie Ran patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we two grown men will be fine."
The journey went smoothly, although Shi Yang's physical strength was still inferior to theirs.
She was panting heavily as she climbed, and Ji Peiheng helped her along the way.
Finally, at the most dazzling and brilliant moment of sunrise, they reached the summit.
Xie Ran shouted excitedly.
Shi Yang leaned on Ji Peiheng's shoulder, quietly watching the beautiful sunrise.
Wen Huai'an and his group set up camp on the mountaintop, while Shi Yang and Wen Wanwan enjoyed the scenery and took photos.
Soon, the sun set and the moon rose, and night fell.
With the campfire lit, Xie Ran kept turning the barbecue on the grill. He looked carefree, but he had excellent skills.
Shi Yang ate several skewers in a row, while Wen Wanwan was so engrossed in eating that she couldn't even speak.
Wen Huai'an was gentle in nature but loved wine, so he brought some wine with him.
The men clinked glasses and drank quite a bit, and Shi Yang and Wen Wanwan also had a little.
Ji Peiheng was in a good mood. He leaned back lazily in his chair, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a smile, the corners of his eyes tinged with red.
Listening to everyone chatting and laughing, occasionally a clear, melodious laugh would escape their lips.
Shi Yang held her chin in her hands, watching Wen Huai'an vividly recount his study abroad experiences, which made her laugh out loud.
The firelight cast a faint glow on her face, and her eyes shone.
Bright and radiant.
Feeling a burning gaze, she looked up and met Ji Peiheng's gentle eyes.
She gave him a sweet smile.
"Look, it's a meteor shower!"
At the top of the mountain, someone shouted.
Wen Wanwan jumped up excitedly: "There really is a meteor shower!"
Shi Yang straightened up and made a wish upon the meteor shower.
Her wish was simple: she hoped that time could stand still at this moment.
Beautiful and blissful.
...
As Shi Yang emerged from the restroom halfway up the mountain, he saw Ji Peiheng leaning against a tree.
She smiled and went over to take the man's hand.
Ji Peiheng was not heading back to the camp.
He led her in a direction where no one was around.
Shi Yang was forced to stand in front of a tree, and the man's lips, reeking of alcohol, pressed against hers.
Shi Yang pouted and said, "What are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?"
The man's hot body covered her, while the trees behind them brought a touch of coolness.
She was caught in the middle, experiencing both extremes.
"Is it exciting?"
His thick nasal voice filled my ears.
Shi Yang, both amused and exasperated, pressed against his chest: "What's wrong with you today? Why do you seem so excited?"
Ji Peiheng didn't speak, but his fingers deftly slipped inside her clothes.
Shi Yang was so frightened that she pulled his finger away and bit it to prevent him from causing trouble: "What if someone sees us?"
Does she even want to live anymore?
Ji Peiheng chuckled softly, his warm, moist breath tickling her ear.
She couldn't help but flinch, and then she heard him say, "Shi Yang, I am very happy."
I feel so happy.
Every day I spent with her, everything we did, was so blissful.
The man's magnetic voice enveloped her eardrums.
Shi Yang curled her lips and bit his earlobe: "Me too."
As night fell, the cicadas chirped melodiously among the lush trees.
The woman pinned to the tree had a flushed face and her eyes were glazed over.
Not far away, under a tree, a dark figure coldly watched everything.
As he listened to the entanglement between the man and woman, a shadow crept into his left eye, his covetousness undisguised.
I wonder what it's like to be Ji Peiheng's woman?
...
Ji Peiheng and his group originally planned to camp on the mountaintop for one night and return at dawn.
Once the noise from the tourists on the mountaintop subsided, Shi Yang was so sleepy that he crawled into his tent to go to sleep.
Before going to bed, Ji Peiheng received a phone call.
His expression changed drastically in an instant.
Shi Yang sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something's happened!"
Although Ji Peiheng didn't say anything, his expression betrayed his true feelings.
The matter is very serious and urgent.
Unless it's something serious, given his usually calm and collected nature, he wouldn't have changed his expression so drastically.
The group returned to the city overnight. Shi Yang was sent home, and Ji Peiheng rushed to the company without saying anything more.
Shi Yang knew he couldn't be of much help, but he couldn't sleep and waited anxiously.
Ji Peiheng didn't return home all night, so she sat on the bed and waited all night.
I didn't close my eyes for a moment.
