Warm breath brushed past his ear, and Yuan Xuan subconsciously raised his hand to firmly hold the person on his back.
"The ground is slippery here, be careful." His voice was low and gentle.
His eyes were still covered, and everything in front of him was dark, with only a faint golden light shining through the gaps between his fingers and into his eyes.
A familiar laugh came from my ear: "You found me!"
Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he sighed softly. He didn't push away, but let the person behind him lie on his back and said in a low voice,
"I'll know as soon as you get close to me."
When Yuan Nan'an heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "How can it be so amazing?"
Her hands were still covering his eyes, and she looked at the beautiful lake in front of her. A sly look flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Cousin, do you believe me?"
Yuan Xuan was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what she was asking. But after a moment of silence, he answered without hesitation,
"letter."
After hearing this, Yuan Nan'an smiled slightly, slowly moved closer, and whispered in his ear:
"Then carry me! Stand up... and follow my instructions."
Although Yuan Xuan didn't understand what she was planning, he still responded with a "Okay."
He bent down slightly, gently clasped her legs with his hands, lifted her up steadily on his back, and stood up straight with steady steps.
"Now, step back."
"Turn right, walk a few steps forward... a little to the left... OK, keep going..."
Yuan Xuan listened to her voice, which was smiling and a bit playful, but still serious.
With his eyes closed, he could see nothing and could only rely entirely on her instructions.
However, he did not hesitate at all, his steps were steady, slow but firm.
The path by the lake is narrow and slippery, only wide enough for one person to pass through. If you are not careful, you may slip into the lake.
But Yuan Xuan seemed to be accustomed to such uncertainty. He walked forward unwaveringly, even his breathing was steady.
Yuan Nanan lay on his back, covering his eyes with his hands. Looking at his tall back and calm expression, a soft light appeared in his eyes.
She suddenly asked softly, "Aren't you afraid at all that I might lead you astray and you might fall into the lake?"
Yuan Xuan smiled faintly, his voice was not loud, but it was full of confidence.
"Don't be afraid. You're on my back, and I won't let you fall."
Yuan Nan'an was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his nose felt sore and his heart was filled with warmth.
She thought of that rainy night when he carried her on his back in the same way, stepping one step deep and one step shallow to rescue her from the cliff.
The lake surface was shimmering in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the wind blew with a moist coolness. The two of them walked one in front and the other behind, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Yuan Nan'an lay on Yuan Xuan's back, looking at the snow-capped mountains in front of him, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
She held her breath, as if waiting for something.
After a while, her hands relaxed a little, and her voice was low and soft.
"When I let go, you open your eyes."
Yuan Xuan nodded, his eyes still covered by her hands, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay."
"Three, two, one..."
When Yuan Nan'an counted to "one", his hand slowly left his eyes.
Yuan Xuan's eyes slowly opened as she moved. At first, they were slightly squinted because of the sudden influx of light, but then he saw the scene in front of him clearly.
A majestic snow-capped mountain appeared before our eyes.
The silver-white mountains were dyed golden in the sunset, and were coated with a layer of sacred light.
The golden light poured down from the top of the mountain and flowed along the ridge, like a painting between heaven and earth, so magnificent that it took one's breath away.
It is the sun shining on the golden mountain.
The wind blew through the mountains, bringing a hint of coolness and vastness, and even the air was dyed with warm colors by the beauty of this moment.
Yuan Xuan looked at this magnificent scene, with a hint of surprise and shock in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Is this... Sunshine Golden Mountain?"
Yuan Nan'an nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Yes. I heard Wu Yu talk about this place a few days ago, and I have always wanted to come and see it."
"I originally wanted to come here alone, but then I thought...this kind of scenery is better to see with you."
Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to her. The light of the setting sun reflected between her eyebrows and eyes, like a layer of light golden gauze, making her smile extra warm.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was low and slow: "Thank you, Nannan."
Yuan Nan'an felt a little uncomfortable with his serious expression. He curled his lips, turned his head away and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "It's beautiful! You can't see such a view in the capital!"
Yuan Xuan smiled softly and continued to concentrate on admiring the scenery in front of him.
The sun slowly sank towards the horizon, and the golden light gradually faded, melting into a deep pink with a reddish hue, painting the outline of the snow-capped mountains soft and moving.
The originally dazzling gold faded from its fiery intensity and became warm, like a gradient painting, changing color with the passage of time.
Soon after, the deep pink was replaced by a lighter pink, which reflected on the white snow, adding a rare touch of tenderness and tranquility.
Even the air had a hint of warmth, making the entire mountaintop seem to be breathing gently, shedding the sharpness of the day and becoming tranquil and quiet.
A layer of dreamy veil was spread between heaven and earth.
The snow-capped mountains no longer seemed cold, and the city of Liangzhou at the foot of the mountain was already shrouded in dusk, with warm yellow lights lighting up one after another.
Countless stars appeared under the night sky. Looking down from the mountains, the lights merged into strips of light, winding through the streets.
Occasionally, the crisp sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, accompanied by the faint voices of people in the market.
The snow-capped mountains are silent, but the scenery below is still vibrant and lively.
Yuan Xuan watched this scene quietly, even his breathing became lighter. He couldn't help but sigh,
“How beautiful…”
It's a scenery I've never seen before.
Yuan Nan'an turned his head to look at him, his eyebrows and eyes, which were stained by the faint light, were calm and satisfied.
She curved her lips and smiled, "Yeah..."
What she didn't say was that because she wanted him to see the most beautiful scenery, she came every day in the past few days just to find the best viewing location and time.
Going out early and coming back late is to determine when the sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful.
In fact, she had seen it many times, but at this moment, when she turned her head to look at Yuan Xuan's eyebrows and eyes covered with golden light, she felt unprecedented satisfaction in her heart.
Seeing that the sun had set and only some remnants of the sunset were left, Yuan Nanan wanted to get off his back.
But Yuan Xuan still carried her on his back and was unwilling to let go.
Yuan Nan'an turned his head to look at him with a questioning look.
Yuan Xuan simply turned his brows away and whispered, "It's slippery here, and it's even darker now. I'd better carry you out."
It had been a while since he had been alone with her like this, and for some reason, he didn't want her to be too far away from him.
Yuan Nan'an raised his eyebrows, stopped struggling, and just put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear,
"Then turn around."
