On the way back, when they reached a place with few people, Lu Yan patted Chen Yao on the shoulder and asked her if she was tired.
Chen Yao nodded and said, "I'm tired, but if I hold on a little longer, I'll get there."
Lu Yan didn't say anything. He walked straight up to her, squatted down, and motioned for him to carry her down the mountain.
Chen Yao hesitated: "No, you are tired too..."
Lu Yan: "It doesn't matter, I can still carry you."
He accidentally saw the red marks on her heels and thought of carrying her down the mountain.
Seeing Lu Yan's persistence, Chen Yao climbed up anyway, and then said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Lu Yan."
After Lu Yan steadied her on his back, he said, "I don't know if you still remember, when you were in junior high school, the first time you started climbing a mountain. When you were coming down the mountain, you were so tired that you didn't want to move. At that time, I carried you down the mountain just like I am doing now..."
Chen Yao leaned against his broad back and said softly, "Of course I remember. My feet were all blistered that day. If you hadn't been carrying me from behind, my feet would have probably bled."
…
The two of them walked down the mountain, talking to each other. When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Chen Yao got off Lu Yan's back and decided to walk the rest of the way by herself.
Lu Yan put her down, then took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank most of it with his head tilted back.
Chen Yao's eyes flickered as she watched him drink water and his rapidly rolling Adam's apple. She licked her lips lightly and felt as if she was also starting to feel thirsty.
Seeing this, Lu Yan also handed her a bottle of water and said, "Drink it and quench your thirst. The weather is too hot."
After Chen Yao took it and drank half the bottle, she responded meaningfully: "Yes, it's too hot, I'm very thirsty."
After meeting Zhou Ming and Jiang Qin halfway up the mountain, they quickly went down the mountain together and took a taxi directly back to the hotel.
Zhao Ning knew that they must be tired and hungry after climbing the mountain, so she thoughtfully ordered food and drinks in advance, ensuring that they could have hot meals and cool and refreshing drinks almost as soon as they returned without having to wait long.
In the afternoon, after eating and drinking their fill and taking a shower, they lay down on the bed to rest, planning to go see some other scenery tomorrow after resting up.
On the way, Lu Yan brought ointment to Chen Yao, wanting her to use it to wipe the red marks on her feet. However, Chen Yao was so tired that she fell asleep, and it was Zhao Ning who opened the door.
After Lu Yan explained his purpose to her, he handed the ointment in his hand to her and reminded her: "Don't touch water immediately after use. Please help remind Chen Yao."
Zhao Ning: "OK."
It was seven o'clock in the evening when Chen Yao finally got enough sleep and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as I open my phone, it is filled with messages.
The most are from Lu Yan, followed by her mother Cheng Wanqing, and Lu Yan’s mother Jiang Yun.
While she was reading the message, Lu Yan sent another new message.
Lu Yan: If you wake up, tell me. I'll take you to see a light show nearby. It's quite lively.
[Lu Yan: Zhou Ming, Jiang Qin, Zhao Ning and the others have already gone there. Now there are only two of us left.]
Chen Yao turned on the light in the room and saw that Zhao Ning was gone. She had left a small note for her at the bedside.
After reading the contents of the note, Chen Yao picked up the ointment beside her and started to apply it on her heels.
The system asked her: "Host, do you need me to help you with props?"
Chen Yao: “No need.”
After wiping, she wiped her hands clean before replying to Lu Yan.
[Chen Yao: I'm awake. Please wait for me to clean up. See you in about fifteen minutes.]
【Lu Yan: Okay.】
After a quick wash, Chen Yao picked out a beautiful dress to change into, and went to find Lu Yan.
When they met, she clearly noticed Lu Yan's surprised eyes and fluctuating emotions.
When they walked together to the light show area, there were a few more passers-by, so he immediately held her hand tightly and said, "Hold on tight, so we don't get separated."
Chen Yao held his hand in return, leaned close to him and whispered, "I'll listen to you, brother."
Lu Yan's ears quickly turned red, and he began to feel a little uncomfortable standing in the crowd.
"Yaoyao, don't seduce me." He gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear.
Chen Yao smiled and continued walking forward.
After watching the light show, they went to a secluded place and waited for the fireworks show.
Chen Yao leaned on the wooden stake in the pavilion, casually playing with her hair in her hands, and asked Lu Yan how long the fireworks show would last.
Lu Yan: "About twenty minutes left."
Chen Yao curled her lips. "Twenty minutes? That's quite a long time. But why are we the only ones here? We don't see anyone else."
Lu Yan: "Maybe they thought this place was far away, so they all squeezed to the front."
Chen Yao's eyes turned, and she suddenly asked Lu Yan to come closer to her, "Let's play a game, okay?"
Lu Yan was inexplicably nervous: "What game?"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Come closer, look into my eyes, and see if you can see your reflection in them."
Lu Yan did as he was told.
Gradually, he got closer and closer to Chen Yao's face...
Gradually, the two people's breathing gradually entangled...
It’s hard to say when the atmosphere began to change, but in any case, Lu Yan was intoxicated.
At the moment the fireworks rose, the two people in the pavilion were kissing passionately, unable to let go and inseparable...
Chen Yao's mind had gone blank from the kiss, and she leaned limply in Lu Yan's arms, not caring about the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
…
A few days later, they packed all their luggage and returned to City A together. This graduation trip came to a perfect end.
Chen Yao had already learned from Cheng Wanqing's WeChat message that the house she would live in later had been cleaned up and she could move in at any time.
Therefore, after returning to City A, she moved directly into that house.
Cheng Wanqing asked her if she felt scared living alone and if she needed her to come and live with her for a while.
Chen Yao smiled and said that it was completely fine for her to live alone.
Cheng Wanqing didn't insist any further and just told her about having dinner together as a family this weekend.
Chen Yao readily agreed.
Before this weekend, there is one more important thing, which is to check the college entrance examination results.
After taking the test, Chen Yao roughly estimated her score and knew that it would be around 715 points. If everything went well, it would be completely possible for her to apply to University A.
But she had no idea how many points she could get, so she was actually quite nervous.
The system noticed her nervousness and anticipation, and quietly asked, "Host, do you need me to check your score in advance?"
Chen Yao shook her head and said, "No, I'll just wait."
