Chapter 121 [121] To like someone is to want to be close to them.
When Shen Yu touched the empty cigarette box, he realized that he had smoked a whole pack of cigarettes without realizing it.
He has had excellent self-control since he was young, and his usual limit of cigarettes per week is three, but recently he has been breaking the limit.
He forced himself to stop thinking about it, took a shower, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed. But when he thought about her being right next door, just across the wall, he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
She came with me to climb the mountain and stay in a hotel. At least she trusts me, right?
Can this become the cornerstone of a relationship between men and women?
If she positions herself as a trustworthy brother, will there be no hope at all?
It was heaven one moment and hell the next, and he couldn't sleep at all. It was also at this time that he realized that liking someone was just wishful thinking.
My head was aching, so I turned on the light and got up. An hour had already passed.
He opened the door again and walked around the yard, finally going behind the house. With the help of the dim light, he carved a few words on the wall of her house with a stone.
He carved his love, which he could not express for the time being, on the wall.
Perhaps because he had vented all his emotions, he finally fell asleep this time.
Before dawn.
Tang Yuanyuan vaguely heard a knock on the door. She thought it was Shen Yu, so she rubbed her eyes and pushed the door open, but it turned out to be the waiter.
Shen Yu asked the waiter to call her. Tang Yuanyuan turned on the light, quickly brushed her teeth and clothes, and left the room in 5 minutes.
There was no light in the yard. Shen Yu sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, playing with a flashlight in his hand.
Tang Yuanyuan yawned and walked over to ask, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Shen Yu heard her voice and tilted his head to look over, his gaze landing on her face. Her eye bags were full and plump, and she slept soundly, seemingly completely unaccustomed to her bed. "Turning on the lights will affect the sunrise view. It's best to darken it out now."
Tang Yuanyuan thought it made sense, so she went back to her room and turned off the lights. The entire yard was plunged into darkness, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
"It's darkest before dawn. It turns out to be true," Tang Yuanyuan put his hands on his face. "If someone comes to beat me up, I'm afraid they won't even know they're in front of me."
She didn't know that Shen Yu leaned forward a little in the thick night, and her hair blown by the wind blew on his face, and he curled his lips in satisfaction.
This was the closest he had ever been to her.
Liking someone means wanting to be close to them. He had never wanted to be close to someone so much before.
Tang Yuanyuan, I like you so much, he said silently with his mouth open.
The sky suddenly brightened, and a fiery red light passed over the ridge line. In an instant, the sky and the earth were lit up, and thin clouds rolled like fairy mist. Tang Yuanyuan pointed the camera at the sun and the clouds.
Behind her, Shen Yu pointed the camera at her, and golden light shone on her cheek. For him, this was a moment he wanted to record more than the sunrise.

Shen Yu thought it would be at least two months before he would see Tang Yuanyuan again. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he received a call from Tang Yuanyuan. He was reading a document in his office. "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world. The ancients were right. The scenery here is perfect for photos."
Shen Yu put down the documents, tapped the table twice with his fingers bent, and said in a calm tone, "Can I understand this as you inviting me to take a photo together?"
Tang Yuanyuan bent the phone cord with her fingers and said, "It would be great if someone could come with me. Climbing alone is kind of boring."
Shen Yu: "Let me check the flight schedule and give you an answer later."
After pressing the phone, Shen Yu dialed the internal line. The secretary quickly replied that there would be a flight in two hours, but there would be no first-class cabin. Shen Yu asked the secretary to book the ticket and asked Uncle Hua to pack the luggage and send it directly to the airport. He also asked him to prepare a gift for Zhang Lancao.
Assistant Fan couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Shen, you have two important business meetings in the next two days."
Shen Yu adjusted his tie and said, "You handle it."
Assistant Fan: "..."
Four hours later, Shen Yu appeared at Guilin Airport pushing a suitcase. Tang Yuanyuan was sitting on a metal chair at the airport, chewing a piece of Bubble Bobble, and a huge ball was blown out of her mouth.
When she saw Shen Yu, her eyes curved a little, and she stood up from the chair, as nimble as a little rabbit, and came in front of him in a flash.
Shen Yu was still wearing a white shirt and suit pants, his figure was slender and elegant, and his expression was calm, as if he was in a business meeting. He smiled and was polite in the right way. "Mr. Zhang, are you free to have dinner together tonight? I brought her a small gift."
Tang Yuanyuan: "She was busy and came back very late. I didn't tell her that you were coming."
Shen Yu handed the porcelain to Tang Yuanyuan: "Then you can pass it on for me."
Tang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I'll take you to eat the local special snacks."
Rice noodles, oil tea, and mugwort cakes were all delicious. After dinner, everyone went back to their hotel rooms. Tang Yuanyuan unpacked the porcelain. The fine glaze shone with a rich texture under the light. Anyone who saw it wanted to eat it directly. It looked like a collection-level item.
You are really generous.
Tang Yuanyuan rested her face on the porcelain, thinking carefully about Shen Yu.
When did it start?
It was a bit unbelievable, as he was always gentlemanly and calm, even eating was enjoyable, and he never made a single rude joke.
Mrs. Shen is also elegant and beautiful. She can dance and play the piano.
After a good night's sleep, Tang Yuanyuan stretched herself out of bed, washed herself up slowly, drank a bottle of milk, ate some cookies, and dawdled until ten o'clock before she called Shen Yu's mobile phone and asked:
"Have you had breakfast?"
"not yet."
"Then let's eat together. I want to eat rice noodles."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the lobby."
Tang Yuanyuan walked out slowly. Shen Yu was already waiting in the hotel lobby. Unlike his elite look yesterday, he was dressed casually today, wearing a T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and bangs, which made him look a little cute.
But this person is exquisite. Even when sitting on the sofa, his back is still straight, calm and wise.
Shen Yu ordered a small portion of rice noodles, and Tang Yuanyuan noticed that he added a little vinegar and chili oil.
He asked for rice noodles last night that were not spicy and had no vinegar.
Tang Yuanyuan had never seen him add vinegar to his noodles.
Compared with places like the Sun and Moon Pagodas and the Li River cruise, Tang Yuanyuan prefers Xianggong Mountain, which is surrounded by mountains, with billowing white mist and spectacular clouds, making it very photogenic.
When going down the mountain, Shen Yu was still walking in front. He suddenly heard a scream and turned around to see Tang Yuanyuan squatting on the ground holding her ankle.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yu quickly took a step forward and sat down beside her.
"I think I twisted my ankle."
"Can you move?" Shen Yu lifted her trouser legs and felt relieved when he saw that there was no obvious redness or swelling on her ankles.
"Don't dare move. It hurts."
Shen Yu thought for a second and said, "Then don't move. You probably twisted a bone a little, but it's not serious."
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the rolling mountains in distress: "It's such a long way, what should I do?"
Shen Yu squatted down in front of her: "Come up, I'll carry you down."
"Are you okay?" Tang Yuanyuan said worriedly, "It's an hour's journey."
"I can do it, come on up."
"Then give me the camera. I'll hang it."
Tang Yuanyuan leaned forward, put her hands around his neck and clasped them, then climbed onto his back.
Shen Yu pushed her up, his fingertips twitched, and he grabbed her thigh through her jeans, feeling his heart beating faster.
He could hear her breathing in his ear, and her slender fingers rested just below his neck, which felt sweet and light.
"Are you tired?"
Tang Yuanyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped his soaked bangs, "If that doesn't work, put me down."
"I can hold on."
Shen Yu's hands were already wet, and he shook her up. "If your bones are injured, it will be a lifelong problem. You can't move around now. Does it hurt more?"
Tang Yuanyuan half-closed her eyelids, looked at his fair and clean face soaked with sweat, and sighed in pain: "It hurts a little more."
Shen Yu looked around and saw a big rock. He squatted down and slowly put Tang Yuanyuan down, then lifted up her trouser leg. There was no redness or swelling. He gently placed his hand on her ankle and applied a little force. Tang Yuanyuan cried out in pain.
Shen Yu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it shouldn't be a big problem. If the bone injury is serious, it will be swollen."
Shen Yu drank the entire bottle of water in one breath and carried Tang Yuanyuan on his back again.
"I'm sorry, I was too careless and made you so tired."
Shen Yu didn't feel any pain in his hands and feet, nor did he feel sweat pouring down. He only felt her warm breath brushing against his ear. The girl's wrist was delicate and soft, and she smelled very nice.
He wanted to take care of her forever.
"Not tired." He volunteered.
Tang Yuanyuan put her face on his shoulder and leaned close to his ear: "You are so nice."
The hot breath penetrated into Shen Yu's ear, and he felt his ears itchy and his scalp numb.
There are some willows on both sides of the mountain path, and the sunlight pours down on the Li River like flowing water. When the light breeze blows, the light spots jump and float.
Along with the rapid beating was his pounding heart.
As long as her feet were fine, he could carry her no matter how far she went.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Shen Yu half-knelt down and put her down, wiped the sweat from her face, carefully carried her into the car, and checked her ankle again, which was still not red or swollen.
Tang Yuanyuan said: "I feel much better now. I can just go to the hotel and rest. It's better not to go to the hospital."
Shen Yu: "Let's go shoot a movie. I'll feel more at ease."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I hate going to the hospital. I want to go back to the hotel and rest."
Shen Yu: "Then you have to promise me that if you feel uncomfortable tonight, you will go directly to the hospital. You can't object anymore."
"Um."
When the car arrived at the hotel, Shen Yu parked it and carefully carried her out of the car. He walked through the lobby and into the elevator. He carried her to the door of the room and gently put her down. "Did you bring the room card?"
Tang Yuanyuan took out the room card from her pocket, unlocked the door, and walked into the room with brisk steps, no longer showing the pain and resentment she had just felt.
Shen Yu stared at her blankly, standing at the door and forgetting to react.
"I lied to you, my ankle wasn't twisted. Are you angry?"
After a long silence, Shen Yu swallowed and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll go back to my room first."
"My foot doesn't have any redness or swelling at all. It's clearly a normal ankle, yet you carried me on your back for an hour. Don't you have anything to say?"
Shen Yu just wanted to leave quickly: "I didn't think that much."
He was really cowardly. Tang Yuanyuan looked at his back and said, "I saw the words on the wall."
