After passing through the path opened up by Chu Nanfeng, the road became increasingly steep.
At first, you could still hear the group talking in hushed tones, but now, apart from the soft rustling of footsteps on the rocks, you could barely hear anything else.
Everyone tried to calm their breathing, conserve their energy, watch their step carefully, and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the climb.
"Sweetie, are you tired? Shall I carry you?"
In the crowd, Chu Liyue gently supported Xiao Wujie's arm, protecting him as they walked slowly forward.
Mountain paths are different from flat ground, and walking on them is more physically demanding; they have been walking for over an hour.
The road was now even steeper, and she worried that he might not be able to keep up.
With the support of Chu Liyue's arm, Xiao Wujie took a few steps with some difficulty, exhaled a breath of stale air, and shook his head with a light laugh.
He was actually feeling a bit weak in the legs, but after crossing this last stretch of mountain road, they would be walking for several hours by water, giving him time to rest.
His gaze fell upon the beads of sweat on Chu Liyue's forehead, and a hint of heartache appeared in his eyes. He placed his long, slender fingers on her forehead and gently wiped away the fine beads of sweat.
Chu Liyue was carrying a heavy-looking bag and supporting him the whole way, not daring to relax for even a moment. Even though she was physically strong, she was not without exhaustion.
Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, his pale lips slightly pursed, as he gently wiped away her sweat, the cool and delicate touch of his fingertips was exquisite, and a soft feeling welled up in Chu Liyue's deep, cold eyes.
She took his hand and kissed it lightly. "It's just a little sweat, it's okay, sweetheart."
"Honey, we're almost at the top of the mountain. Watch your step and don't get distracted."
As her gaze swept across the steepest section of the mountain path ahead, Chu Liyue immediately moved closer to Xiao Wujie, holding his hand with one hand and wrapping her other arm around his waist, as if afraid that he might stumble or fall.
Feeling the alluring rose scent emanating from Chu Liyue, Xiao Wujie's long, feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her delicate red lips twice.
"Sweetie, stop teasing me." I can't resist your teasing...
"You can kiss me however you want when you're resting at night."
Xiang She leaned out and teased him tenderly into his mouth twice. Chu Liyue then patted his waist gently and protected him as they continued upstairs.
A soft, obedient hum escaped from her throat, and Xiao Wujie's eyes flickered slightly.
I'm strangely looking forward to tonight~
Wouldn't it be exciting to do *that* in a place like this?
After a strenuous climb, the group finally reached the summit.
"Let's take a break here."
As the cool voice fell, Chu Liyue immediately put down her backpack. Even though she sat on the ground, her movements still exuded a unique noble elegance.
Leaning gently against her backpack, Chu Liyue's stunningly beautiful face revealed a smile that only Xiao Wujie could enjoy, and she gently opened her arms to him.
"Sweetie, come here."
His eyes flickered slightly, and Xiao Wujie lifted the hem of his robe, intending to sit down beside her.
The next moment, she felt her waist go limp as Chu Liyue grabbed her waist and pulled her onto her lap.
"Sister, no..."
Worried that she would get tired, Xiao Wujie immediately twisted his waist slightly, trying to get off her legs.
With a "smack," Chu Liyue lightly patted his bottom.
Although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the unusually quiet environment, and the group of people with keen senses turned their attention to it almost instantly.
Upon meeting Chu Liyue's cold, piercing eyes, he unconsciously opened his mouth slightly, then belatedly lowered his head.
I've seen men who are afraid of their wives, who are chased by their wives, and who are beaten by their wives, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone being spanked by their wife in public.
"Hmm~"
A soft moan escaped his lips, and a thin layer of powder instantly covered Xiao Wujie's exposed, pale skin.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she pressed herself against Chu Liyue, burying her flushed face in Chu Liyue's neck.
"Sister~"
You can bully me all you want at home.
This is outside!
There are still so many people!
Chu Liyue silently curled the corners of her lips, but didn't say anything. "If I don't do this, can you sit down in peace?"
She took out a few tissues from her pocket, and her slender fingers silently reached into Xiao Wujie's sweaty back, gently wiping away the beads of sweat.
He was sweating, and if his inner shirt got soaked, and then a breeze blew from behind, he would very likely catch a cold.
In such an environment, his body could not withstand the slightest accident.
As Xiao Wujie hung quietly on her, he felt her warm fingertips brushing against his skin, and his body trembled slightly, but he was extremely depressed.
Why doesn't she comfort him?
Shouldn't his sister hug him, comfort him, and apologize to him at a time like this?
She's changed! She doesn't love me anymore?
Chu Liyue gently wiped away the sweat from his body and chuckled silently, still not comforting or coaxing him as he had hoped.
She let him lie motionless in her arms and reached for the thermos cup that was in the side of her backpack.
I poured a glass of water, blew on it a few times to check the temperature, and then gently patted his back.
"Have a drink of water."
Um? ? ?
They're not calling her "Baby" anymore!
Looking at Xiao Wujie, who was lying motionless in her arms as if he hadn't heard her, Chu Liyue couldn't help but smile, and gently stroked his waist with her fingers.
The voice became slightly hoarse:
"Baby, if you don't drink it, I'll have to feed you!"
They've stopped calling me "good boy" and started calling me "baby." I can barely accept that.
