Chapter 15 Climbing the Mountain (Part 2)



As the cable car gradually ascended, Cheng Qicai became increasingly captivated by the scenery outside the window.

Cheng Qicai picked up the camera hanging around her neck and started snapping photos of the scenery outside.

The weather was clear and the sky was blue. The photos were so beautiful that they could be taken straight out of the camera without any editing. You could directly feel the beauty and magnificence of nature.

Cheng Qicai got a little carried away with taking pictures, and simple standing or squatting positions were no longer enough for her. Gradually, she started kneeling, lying on her side, and sticking her butt out...

When Cheng Qicai felt she had taken enough photos, she stood up and remembered that Gu Rongqi was still in the cable car.

Recalling her pose in the photo, a wave of embarrassment washed over her, and she mechanically swayed her body as she sat down.

She blankly held up the half-eaten cookie, "Mr. Gu, have a cookie."

They tried to cover it up.

Since you've been fed, you probably won't care about your unseemly posture, right?

"You have dirt on your knees."

Gu Rongqi didn't take the cookies. His slender fingers pointed to her knee, where gray-black marks stood out against the misty purple fabric.

Ugh! Why do I have to remind myself of the stupid things I've done?

Cheng Qicai's ears turned bright red, her lips twitched slightly, and she managed to utter two words, "Thank you."

I stood up and quickly brushed the dust off my clothes, trying to ignore the gaze falling on me.

The crunching sound of cookies echoed inside the cable car; it was Cheng Qicai eating up the embarrassing moments she had shared.

Gu Rongqi's gaze lingered on Cheng Qicai's ear for a moment, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with a smile.

He admitted that there was some element of deliberate intent involved.

After Cheng Qicai finished dusting off the dust, she sat down and saw Gu Rongqi across from her with a smile on his lips and a relaxed expression. The sunlight shone on him, adding a touch of gentleness to his appearance.

"Click".

Faced with such a beautiful scene and beautiful people, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but raise her camera and take a picture.

Gu Rongqi, who was opposite him, was slightly taken aback when he heard the camera sound. His demeanor returned to its previous state, becoming reserved and dignified.

Cheng Qicai realized what was happening and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, if you mind, I'll delete it."

"fine."

Hearing Gu Rongqi's answer, Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Gu Rongqi was a well-known figure in the business world, and it would be very offensive for her to take photos without permission.

She opened the photo and was very satisfied with it. She then handed the camera to Gu Rongqi across from her.

He asked smugly, "Not bad, right?"

Gu Rongqi stared blankly at himself in the photo, because the person in the photo was a complete stranger.

His smiling lips and the warm yellow sunlight made him look somewhat "warm".

The word "warm" doesn't fit him at all, yet one day he found it in himself.

"Mr. Gu, how is it?" Her bright eyes looked directly at him, eager for his answer.

Yeah, like a puppy.

"The filming is quite good."

Cheng Qicai had no idea that the other person thought she was a puppy; otherwise, she would have definitely jumped up and cursed back.

Although they might back down in fear of the other party's wealth and power.

Having received the other party's approval, Cheng Qicai continued, "Then, Mr. Gu, let's add a moon symbol. I'll export it and send it to you when I get back."

Gu Rongqi took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then switched his work number to a personal number, asking Cheng Qicai to scan the QR code to add him.

"Alright, Mr. Gu, please agree."

Gu Rongqi tapped his finger twice, approving Cheng Qicai's application.

Seeing her profile picture made me chuckle. I was thinking she looked like a puppy, but it turns out her profile picture was actually a puppy.

Cheng Qicai's profile picture is a small yellow mongrel dog, which she kept at her grandfather's house in the countryside when she was a child. The dog died of old age when she was in high school.

When the cable car arrived at its destination, Cheng Qicai noticed that the male and female leads looked normal, but the other two didn't look so good.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Cheng Qicai was a little curious about what had happened to the others in the cable car.

To break the awkward silence, Cheng Qicai handed out snacks from her backpack to them, giving some to each of them.

When it was Gu Rongqi's turn, he suddenly said he needed to go to the restroom, and glanced at Qicai as he passed by.

Cheng Qicai didn't understand the meaning in his eyes, but she always felt that there was something in them.

The leader's hints suggest that it's better to overthink than underthink.

She hesitated for a moment, then told them that she also needed to go to the restroom, and followed them.

When Cheng Qicai got to the restroom, she saw Gu Rongqi washing his hands with hand sanitizer. Gu Rongqi asked her, "Do you have any paper towels?"

"have."

Cheng Qicai took out a tissue from her bag and handed it over.

Gu Rongqi dried his hands and said, "You should also wipe the dust off your clothes."

She instantly understood that Gu Rongqi had realized he hadn't washed his hands after brushing off the dust.

Is she that obsessive about cleanliness?

No wonder she felt he was hinting at something when she shared the snacks with them.

However, despite how subtle it was, she was clever enough to understand it.

"Here!" Gu Rongqi gently touched her elbow joint with his hands, which he had just washed.

"Thank you." Cheng Qicai pulled her sleeves forward, but her windbreaker was loose, and before she could wipe them, the clothes drooped back to their original position.

"Let me do it." Gu Rongqi took the wet wipe from her hand and wiped the dust off the back of her hand.

Gu Rongqi had his back to her, and Cheng Qicai felt a strange sensation, a faint tingling in her joints, similar to the tingling sensation when her elbow hit a desk.

She assumed it was because the big boss, Gu Rongqi, had condescended to wipe her dust, and she couldn't accept that.

When they returned, a group of people scanned the QR code to enter the scenic area.

The mountain climbing instance is now officially open.

At first, the group was full of ambition and high spirits as they climbed up.

Of course, it's inevitable that Gu Liji and Lu Qi, these two rivals in love, will bicker all the way.

Qin Biyu kept pestering Lu Qi in a coquettish tone, while Gu Liji, standing beside her, added fuel to the fire with sarcastic and veiled sarcasm towards Lu Qi.

With Miss Qin Biyu around, the mountain climbing trip was greatly slowed down.

Of course, you can't entirely blame her; the female lead wasn't much better, after all, she did mental work. The two of them climbed up, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

Cheng Qicai seemed to be doing alright.

However, she could understand why Lu Qi and Gu Rongqi were physically strong; after all, they were domineering CEOs, and good physical strength was a basic requirement.

But judging from Gu Liji's womanizing ways, he seems to have good stamina. Logically speaking, given the number of girlfriends he's had, shouldn't he be a little weak?

From the moment they entered the gate, the two were secretly competing with each other, climbing at a rapid pace. If Qin Biyu hadn't called for them to stop from time to time, they probably would have had to struggle to reach the top of the mountain.

Seeing Qin Biyu and Yun Suni panting heavily, Gu Rongqi called out to Gu Liji and Lu Qi, who were far ahead of them, "Lu Qi, Liji, slow down. Miss Qin and Miss Yun aren't that fast. If you're only comparing yourselves, then you go up first. I'll come up with them slowly."

Cheng Qicai couldn't help but give Gu Rong a thumbs up.

Fortunately, Gu Rongqi came today, otherwise these two childish kids would have turned the mountain climbing into a competition between them.

The two finally gave up the contest, obediently slowed down, and walked with them.
