Because of you
Luna thought the two of them looked very well matched. Shi Nannan looked more like a lively and smart girl, while Shen Xuyang was a spirited young man. Both of them still had some immaturity on their faces, with just the right amount of youthful excitement.
The final photo captured their most intimate moment. When the shutter was pressed, the scene was preserved forever, not only on the photo, but also in each other's hearts.
Luna took the photos and left her address and contact information with Chen Xuyang. She would express the photos to him when the time came.
After Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang thanked her, she left, as if she was going down the mountain.
After Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang had such a fuss, they had to find an inconspicuous corner to sit and wait for Chen Xing and Wen Yu.
The setting sun on the mountain gradually dissipated, and the afterglow left by the sunset also slowly faded, and was soon replaced by dim light and the upcoming starlight.
For a long time, the two of them just sat there without saying anything. It seemed that they were watching the setting sun, but in fact, their feelings were stirring and their hearts were quietly changing. This feeling was sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes absent, very unstable, but extremely obvious.
Shi Nannan asked: "Chen Xuyang, how do you know that the man just now was a photographer?"
Shen Xuyang said nonchalantly: “Because of you.”
Shi Nannan listened to Shen Xuyang's casual words, which sounded like a perfunctory answer, "Humph! If you don't want to say it, don't say it. There's no need to lie to me."
Shen Xuyang turned his head and saw Shi Nannan's puffed cheeks beside him, like a little squirrel with puffed cheeks. How could she be so cute even when she was angry?
Chen Xuyang smiled secretly and looked at the distant sky again. The setting sun and the gorgeous sunset glow, no matter how beautiful the picture is, it is not as beautiful as you in my heart.
How much Shen Xuyang wanted to tell Shi Nannan, do you know? I have never lied to you.
Because of you, I pay attention to everything you like. When will you realize that my kindness to you has been planned for a long time, and all I have in mind is you.
As Shen Xuyang thought about it, he suddenly smiled, his eyes reflecting the sunset, but his heart could only hold her.
Shi Nannan asked again: "Chen Xuyang, were those words you just said acting?"
After Shi Nannan asked this question, her heart beat inexplicably faster, and she felt nervous and excited. She didn't know why she asked, but she wanted to know the answer.
Shen Xuyang supported himself with his arms, his palms resting on the stone slab behind him, his posture lazy and casual.
Shen Xuyang fluttered his eyelashes and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or..."
Shi Nannan: "Forget it, I don't want to know."
Shen Xuyang only paused for a moment, but Shi Nannan couldn't contain her panic and gave up an opportunity that she would most likely regret.
Shi Nannan was really becoming more and more confused about herself. Obviously, nothing had changed between her and Shen Xuyang. They were still joking and playing like usual.
But why did her heart always beat so fast inadvertently? She inexplicably wanted to get close to him, but was too cautious to touch him.
What's wrong with her?
Shen Xuyang may not have decided whether to confess or not. In the few seconds he paused, he was nervous and even more afraid that she would reject him.
After all, he is not the only one who can bring her happiness. Shen Xuyang knows clearly that there is still a long way to go between him and her.
I will save the unfinished sentence and tell you later. It means I love you.

Wen Yu and Chen Xing walked and stopped along the way, and finally climbed two-thirds of the way. They still missed the sunset at the top of the mountain, but they didn't feel sorry because there were things more worthwhile than the beautiful scenery.
It was the first time that Chen Xing had walked such a long distance. Although he had a long rest time, he couldn't help feeling tired.
After all, Chen Xing's body is not like that of ordinary people. Her heart is extremely fragile and cannot withstand any fatigue or blow.
Wen Yu has been following Chen Xing all the time, and he is the one who can best notice the changes in Chen Xing along the way.
A long time passed quietly, and Chen Xing's physical strength declined rapidly.
Wen Yu could already feel Chen Xing's footsteps getting heavier and his breathing becoming faster, and his worries grew.
Wen Yu called out to Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, let's go to the front and rest for a while."
Chen Xing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Wen Yu's words. She could also feel the changes in her body. Walking for a long time had made her a little exhausted, but she didn't want to drag Wen Yu down.
Chen Xing didn't want to be a bother to anyone, especially Wen Yu.
When they reached an empty cave in front, Chen Xing and Wen Yu stopped again.
Chen Xing was breathing heavily while carrying Wen Yu on his back. He was so tired that his whole body was almost paralyzed. He had promised not to let them worry, but he had overestimated his heart's ability to withstand it.
Wen Yu saw Chen Xing turned his head and asked, "Chen Xing, are you feeling unwell? If you feel any discomfort, please tell me."
Chen Xing turned her head and wanted to reassure Wen Yu, but Wen Yu still noticed her haggard face.
Wen Yu noticed Chen Xing's pale face, and his heart began to tremble.
Wen Yu suddenly held Chen Xing's hand and asked, "Are you cold? I'll get you some hot water."
When the sun sets, the mountain wind becomes even more unbridled. The mountain wind in winter is colder and harder than anywhere else, like an ice knife piercing your face.
Chen Xing was just a little weak from exhaustion. After all, she had never walked such a long distance in her life, and it was a cold winter, so the remaining heat in her body was slowly dissipating.
Chen Xing said, "No need, Wen Yu, it's getting dark, don't go. Nan Nan and the others are still waiting for us, let's go quickly."
Chen Xing didn't know how long it would take, but the sky gradually losing its light fueled her anxiety.
Wen Yu felt Chen Xing's hands were ice-cold when he touched them. Such a temperature made him think he was about to lose something. The feeling was icy and biting. It was winter, so how could he still be sweating?
Wen Yu took out a hot pack from his bag and put some heavy items from Chen Xing's bag into his own bag.
Wen Yu put away his hiking sticks, took off his coat and wrapped it around Chen Xing. Chen Xing was already wearing quite thick clothes, and now with Wen Yu's cotton coat, she looked like a giant panda.
Chen Xing saw the wrinkles between Wen Yu's brows and his lips pursed into a line, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
It was the first time that Chen Xing saw Wen Yu so flustered and nervous. Was he so upset because of her?
Chen Xing slowly said: "Wen Yu, don't worry, I'm really fine..."
After Wen Yu reorganized their backpacks, he saw the medicine in Chen Xing's bag and asked, "You brought medicine with you, why didn't you tell me?"
When Chen Xing saw Wen Yu take out a bag of Chinese medicine from her bag, she remembered that she had brought medicine with her. That was something Gao Yamei had told her to bring with her.
Chen Xing doesn't like the bitterness of Chinese medicine. The bitterness of Chinese medicine stays in the mouth for a long time before dissipating. Every time he takes the medicine, he feels like dying.
But after all, it was a folk remedy that Gao Yamei specifically asked someone to get, saying that it was good for the heart.
Chen Xing was so focused on going up the mountain that he forgot about the medicine he needed to drink.
Chen Xing said a little embarrassedly: "I forgot."
Wen Yu smiled helplessly, "Can I drink this now? Can it relieve your pain?"
Chen Xing said: "It's drinkable, but it's too bitter."
Wen Yu looked at the large bag of Chinese medicine, which contained a pitch-black liquid. He could smell the bitterness just by holding it in his hand.
Chen Xing must have taken a long time to drink such bitter medicine. What others call suffering is just the bitterness in the heart, but Chen Xing was really suffering.
