"Actually, I also have... an orange!" After climbing up to the Zengfu Temple banquet, Qing embarrassedly pulled out a large orange from his pocket.
Yan Qing shyly handed it to Yu Qiuchi: "This is delicious! I only have one left, so it's for you!"
Looking at the bloated orange, Yu Qiuchi thought of the popular orange lamp. He made a small hole in the orange. When this kind of orange is ripe, the peel and flesh usually separate. Without damaging the peel, it is easy to take out the orange segments. Yu Qiuchi gave half to Yan Qing and ate the other half himself. It was so sweet!
He took off the hairpin from his hair, because he was wearing a hairpin shaped like a long sword today, and the tip of the hairpin was sharpened to be more than enough to carve on an orange.
Yan Qing leaned closer in surprise: "Are you going to carve an orange lantern?"
"Yes! I'll try and see if I can make it. Have you done this before?" Yu Qiuchi wasn't a professional, and he was afraid the result wouldn't be good.
"Back when it was really popular, I tried to do something like this as a fan service, but it didn't work out. In the end, I settled for the simplest thing and made a heart!" Yan Qing's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be in a much better mood now.
"But Qiuchi, what are you drawing? It looks so complicated!"
"you guess!"
Yu Qiuchi feigned mystery, then placed the orange lamp on the flashlight. It revealed a tiny, cheerfully laughing figure. Yu Qiuchi used variations in light and shadow to depict the individual strands of hair, making it appear very delicate.
His legs were a little numb from squatting on the ground, and he staggered when he stood up, which startled Yan Qing!
Yan Qing helped Yu Qiuchi up. Because Yu Qiuchi was taller than Yan Qing and had long hair, it tickled Yan Qing's neck. Yan Qing tried to brush it aside and found that Yu Qiuchi's hair was very well maintained. He was reluctant to let go.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, my legs just went numb from squatting for so long."
Compared to Yan Qing's panic, Yu Qiuchi was much calmer. He handed the orange lantern in his hand to Yan Qing: "I hope you are happy every day, but I hope happiness is a blessing rather than a burden."
Today, Yu Qiuchi was wearing the same outfit that Song Yaozhuo had paired with him that morning. After removing his hairpin, his white hair was loose and the wind was not strong, blowing gently. At this moment, Yu Qiuchi looked like a god who had come down to the mortal world to save all living beings. He seemed to have become more down-to-earth.
"Okay." Yan Qing, who was usually eloquent, was momentarily speechless. He took the small orange lamp, and the flashlight beam was flashing. He was really happy!
"Let's go! We need to climb to the top of the mountain before dawn to see the sea of clouds and the sunrise. Don't keep everyone waiting!"
Yan Qing had always felt that Yu Qiuchi was a gentle aloofness, a gentle superiority, and he was impossible to dislike.
Yu Qiuchi was different from Song Yaozhuo's aloofness, but he still made Yan Qing feel very distant. In front of him, Yan Qing felt inferior, especially when he learned that Xie Tingsi liked Yu Qiuchi, his inferiority complex reached its peak...
Yu Qiuchi exuded an aura of refinement upon his entrance, like a jade-like gentleman, unapproachable... as if the affairs of the world were irrelevant to him...
Yan Qing followed Yu Qiuchi, hopping and skipping, pointing three fingers to the sky: "This time when we arrive at the South Heavenly Gate, I absolutely will not rest, I swear!"
Yu Qiuchi was somewhat helpless; this child's temper was unpredictable: "Swear by putting three fingers up first!"
"Then forget it! Hahaha..."
[Something seems to be subtly changing!]
[Did anyone take a screenshot just now?]
[Some of you have already taken action, this is amazing! I think I can ship this couple!]
[Yu Qiuchi (top) x Yan Qing (bottom), height difference is ranked!]
[Yu Qiuchi looked like a god just now! Especially the moment he handed the orange lantern to Yan Qing!]
Gu Xiaojun and the others had already climbed to Bixia Temple.
The Bixia Temple, a thousand-year-old site, is a place of prayer for generations, but unfortunately, it's not open during the temple's opening hours! Actually, climbing to this point is almost the top, but they climbed in a hurry and didn't see anything along the way.
As Yu Qiuchi and his companion passed through Yingtian Gate, Yu Qiuchi couldn't help but marvel at how grand the names of every place along the way up Mount Dai were, and how the inscriptions were all written by renowned calligraphers. It truly lived up to its reputation as the most revered of the Five Sacred Mountains!
[One group is for sightseeing, the other is for winning—they laughed!]
[To be honest, it's a rare treat to go to Mount Tai, and even though it was at night and there wasn't much to see, it's still worth lingering. We're here for tourism, not competition, and climbing slowly won't be too tiring!]
"This is the Cloud-Slaying Sword, used to slay clouds and rain." Yu Qiuchi was already explaining this to the viewers in the live stream.
[Haha, I feel like Yu Qiuchi is more of a travel blogger than Xie Tingsi!]
[The competition over there is incredibly fierce, so let's focus on this side. But why is Song Yaozhuo staying in the same spot?]
[Let's make a bold guess, isn't she waiting for Yu Qiuchi?]
Yan Qing looked at him with admiration: "Qiu Chi, you know so much! Have you been here before?"
"Do I look like someone who would come to climb a mountain?" Yu Qiuchi pounded his calf. It's true that youth has no price, and Mount Dai is the best place to cure stubbornness!
"How did you know that?" Yan Qing asked curiously.
"When you have an older brother who's always acting like a teenager, dreaming of traveling all the time, saying that a young person's journey is to the stars and the sea, then you'll understand." Yu Qiuchi said casually, then paused, stunned. His brother used to really like... traveling...
"Is he the man who came to the ward that day?" Yan Qing asked in surprise. Mo Weiyun was a diamond bachelor and a real-life representative of a domineering CEO. He didn't seem to be the same person as the brother Yu Qiuchi had mentioned.
