At the beginning of the mountain, there is a main road. Just follow the main road. But as you go further up, you have to find your own path.
Gao Baoliang has experience in mountain climbing and can always find the best route in the fastest time.
The two helped each other climb up, quickly putting distance between themselves and the others.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was a large rock blocking their path, and Yang Lu suggested they take a break.
She noticed a dark spot under Gao Baoliang's eyes, and he kept yawning; he was genuinely tired.
Gao Baoliang readily agreed, took off his backpack and placed it on the rock, then sat facing outwards.
Yang Lu sat down next to him and took out a camera from her bag.
Their location offered a perfect view overlooking the foot of the mountain.
The autumn wind has already turned some of the leaves red, and the forest is ablaze with color as far as the eye can see, a mix of yellow, red, and green, a breathtaking sight.
"So beautiful!"
Yang Lu took out her camera and started taking pictures.
"Everyone says the view from the top of the mountain is the most beautiful, and I think this spot is pretty good."
She looked at Gao Baoliang.
Unexpectedly, he fell asleep leaning against his backpack.
She smiled and took a picture of his peaceful sleeping face.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a buzz cut, he usually looks a bit fierce, but at this moment he looks like a sleeping child, soft, cute and adorable.
Just as she was staring at his handsome face, unable to look away, his body suddenly swayed and he fell towards her.
She quickly used her body to support him, gently placing his head on her lap so he could rest comfortably.
Perhaps because he was suddenly touched by something soft, Gao Baoliang rubbed his face against it and slept very soundly.
Yang Lu gently put the camera down, then took a piece of clothing from her bag and covered him with it.
A gentle breeze blew by, and she felt a chill, so she took another piece of clothing from her bag and put it on.
And so, she gazed at his sleeping face, a smile playing on her lips, oblivious to the passage of time.
A thought suddenly popped into her head: how wonderful it would be to wake up every day and see such a handsome face!
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Baoliang moved slightly, trying to hug what he thought was a pillow, but instead hugged a slender waist.
It doesn't feel right!
He suddenly woke up with a start.
Only after getting up did I realize that I had just slept on Yang Lu's lap.
"I'm...I'm sorry, I actually fell asleep."
He touched his head and apologized, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
He folded the clothes and put them in his bag.
Yang Lu moved her slightly numb legs.
"It's okay, I'm the one who's embarrassed. You didn't sleep last night, and I even dragged you up here."
She got up, dusted herself off, and continued:
"Should we continue climbing?"
Gao Baoliang raised his hand to glance at his watch:
"You definitely won't be able to see the sunrise. If you want to climb, then climb. It's up to you."
Yang Lu put the camera into her bag.
"Then let's climb."
For a whole day, just being with him made me happy no matter what I was doing.
Gao Baoliang then jumped off the rock, turned around, and stretched out his hand.
Yang Lu didn't see his hand. She stepped down the stone from the side, but the stone slipped, and she lost her balance.
She was relieved that the rock wasn't too high, so she wouldn't break her arms or legs if she fell, because a pair of arms caught her.
"careful."
Gao Baoliang's heart leaped into his throat.
He instinctively hugged her.
Yang Lu braced herself against his chest, breathing rapidly:
"That scared me to death."
The man's chest was so broad and warm; she really wanted to stay with him forever.
However, Gao Baoliang quickly let go of her and climbed up.
His fingers curled nervously from touching her softness, his heart pounded, and his face flushed.
He exhaled to calm his nerves.
This was the first time in all his years that he had panicked like this because of a woman.
Just now, when he hugged me, her whole body pressed against me, touching places she shouldn't have. I hope Yang Lu doesn't misunderstand that he's a lecher.
The two climbed silently for a long time and finally reached the summit.
Yang Lu's colleagues have all arrived; some are chatting in groups, while others are taking photos...
"Have you heard? Ji Tingting, who just arrived a few days ago, is leaving again soon. It's said she's going abroad."
"Why? It's good to have a good dad; he can go abroad whenever he wants."
"What else could it be? He's having affairs!"
I heard that she actually dated a high school student, got pregnant, and was eventually beaten by the boy's mother until she miscarried...
Yang Lu didn't know where they heard these rumors from, and they spread them around regardless of whether they were true or false.
Sister Zhang saw her and waved to her, signaling her to come over.
"Xiao Yang, have you heard about Ji Tingting?"
She wanted to gossip with Yang Lu again.
Yang Lu took a piece of bread out of her bag and gave it to her:
"Sister Zhang, you haven't had breakfast, have you? Here, have this."
After saying that, she walked towards the north corner.
You can see the entire mountain from there.
Gao Baoliang followed her and helped her put her coat on.
"It's windy at the top of the mountain."
Behind them, they heard Zhang Jie and the others talking.
"You said you weren't dating, but you've already helped me put my coat on."
"Sigh, young people these days have such messy relationships."
Yang Lu was furious; even giving her bread couldn't shut her up.
She simply ran over and snatched the bread back from her mouth.
"Sister Zhang, I'm sorry, this bread has something dirty on it. Don't eat it and you'll get a stomachache."
She preferred to crumble the bread and scatter it for the birds.
Gao Baoliang couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her puffed-out cheeks. It turned out that this usually gentle person also had a temper.
After a while, her colleagues all came down the mountain, but Yang Lu was still taking pictures with her camera.
"Let me take a few pictures for you." Gao Baoliang took the camera and told her to stand against the wall.
Through the camera, he discovered a temple not far away, and next to it a tree covered with red silk, like a marriage tree.
Gao Baoliang asked her to move her position, causing her to miss the temple and the background to become the surrounding mountains and clouds.
After playing on the mountain for a while, the two prepared to go down.
Going down the mountain seemed a bit more difficult than going up. Before, I could lift Yang Lu up, but this time I had to hold her hand tightly.
The two felt each other's warmth, but remained silent, understanding each other perfectly.
It wasn't until they were almost at the foot of the mountain that Yang Lu took his hand and spoke:
"Gao Baoliang, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
Gao Baoliang's heart pounded like a drum. Holding his breath in panic, he looked down at her and said in a hoarse voice, "You tell me."
He had never looked forward to a woman expressing her feelings for him as much as he did at this moment.
"I...I want to ask, could we have a fake marriage?"
Look, my dad's pressuring me to get married, and you're being harassed by your ex-girlfriend. If we get married, all these problems will be solved.
Gao Baoliang's lips twitched, and his face froze. Her thought process was truly amazing.
Why did you come up with the idea of a fake marriage?
