Extra: Lu Yannan & Pei Mo Ning (13)
The mountain road winds upward.
Both of them are in good physical condition, so climbing is not difficult for them.
The initial silence was diluted by the cool mountain air and gradually replaced by the scenery along the way and relaxed conversation.
When climbing a mountain, physical contact always happens inadvertently.
In front of a slightly steep stone staircase, Lu Yannan naturally stretched out his hand: "It's slippery here."
Pei Mo Ning looked at the hand he extended and without hesitation, placed his fingers on it.
His palms were dry and warm, very powerful, and he held it firmly.
Her fingertips were slightly cool, and when they pressed against his warm palm, the two temperatures intertwined in an instant.
The moment she took advantage of the momentum, her feet stabilized.
"Thank you." After standing firmly, Pei Mo Ning immediately let go of his hand.
"Yeah." Lu Yannan quickly withdrew his hand and put it back into his jacket pocket.
The two of them looked at different scenery, but the palpitation brought by that handshake caused ripples in their hearts.
The wind blew through the treetops, rolling up a few dead leaves.
A leaf spun and landed right next to Pei Mo Ning's scarf.
Lu Yannan naturally raised his hand and gently brushed it away for her.
His fingertips brushed across her collarbone through the soft fur of the scarf, his movements as gentle as a feather brushing.
Pei Mo Ning's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
Lu Yannan's fingers curled up quickly and then withdrew as if nothing had happened.
The scenery halfway up the mountain was pleasant. Pei Mo Ning felt a little hot, so he took off his scarf and unzipped his down jacket.
Lu Yannan reached out very naturally, took the scarf from her hand, and put it into the backpack he was carrying.
"I'll invite you to go hiking, Lu Yannan, would you like to treat me to a meal?" Pei Mo Ning took two steps forward and turned to look at him.
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Yannan chuckled.
"I'm not picky."
"Not picking means listening to me?"
"Hmm~" Pei Mo Ning walked backwards and upwards.
Lu Yannan looked at her walking backwards and frowned slightly.
He didn't stop, but his eyes were fixed on her feet. He subconsciously raised his arms to protect her side, and said in a low voice: "Watch the road."
Upon hearing this, Pei Mo Ning immediately turned around obediently, with a triumphant smile on the corner of his lips.
She didn't ask any more questions, but continued to climb up briskly.
Mountain top.
My vision suddenly became clear.
The rolling mountains stretch out at your feet, and the cities are dotted in the distance like miniature models.
The cold wind blew away the heat brought by the climb.
Lu Yannan unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Pei Mo Ning took it, tilted his head back and drank a few sips.
The cold water slides down your throat, bringing a refreshing coolness.
"Put on your coat, it's windy." Lu Yannan reminded in a deep voice.
Pei Mo Ning shook the water in his hand, the meaning was self-evident: his hands were busy.
Lu Yannan's Adam's apple rolled, and he took a step forward to zip up her down jacket for her.
Pei Mo Ning raised his hand to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.
She turned around, her eyes sweeping across the magnificent scenery, and suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Yannan who was standing quietly beside her.
The mountain wind ruffled her hair, and her eyes shone brightly in the sunlight: "Since I'm here..."
She shook her phone: "How about... taking a photo?"
Lu Yannan did not answer immediately.
His gaze lingered for a moment on her face, which was slightly red from the wind, and then moved away into the distance.
After a few seconds, he nodded slightly: "Yeah."
The two stood side by side in front of the observation deck with the best view.
Pei Mo Ning raised his phone and adjusted the angle.
On the screen, Lu Yannan stood tall and straight, and the side profile of his face looked a little cold and hard in the backlight.
She looked at the screen and leaned towards Lu Yannan naturally.
Her shoulder was almost touching his arm.
Just before she pressed the shutter button, Lu Yannan raised his arm slightly and his palm hovered for a moment.
Finally, he gently and tentatively placed his hand on her other shoulder.
The movement was very light, with almost no force applied.
It's more like a protective posture.
The shutter sounded.
The picture freezes.
The scenery at the top of the mountain is magnificent and the sunshine is just right.
In the camera, Pei Mo Ning had a smile on his lips, his head slightly tilted, and his hair was blown by the wind.
Lu Yannan stood beside her, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the distance, his profile was calm, but the hand on her shoulder revealed an unusual closeness.
The two figures standing side by side are unexpectedly harmonious against the vast background.
Pei Mo Ning looked down at the photo on the phone screen, gently enlarged it with his fingertips, and his eyes lingered on Lu Yannan's hand.
He put away his phone as if nothing had happened, a smile on his lips.
......
Time passes quietly like the wind in the mountains.
Over the past few months, Lu Yannan and Pei Mo Ning seemed to have developed a tacit understanding.
A new scenario will be unlocked every weekend.
The Lu brothers and sisters were unaware of all this.
The two of them secretly broke through the invisible barrier.
Another Saturday afternoon.
Lu family villa.
Lu Jianheng came down from upstairs in a nonchalant manner and happened to run into Lu Yannan changing shoes in the entrance hall. He was wearing a neat casual outfit and was obviously going out again.
Lu Jianheng paused, his tone filled with undisguised dissatisfaction: "Brother, where are you going again?"
He walked a few steps to the entrance, leaned against it, and stared at Lu Yannan with accusatory eyes: "How many weekends have you not eaten with me?"
"Home has almost become our base for staying."
Lu Yannan tied his shoelaces and stood up: "If I'm not here, can you still go on a hunger strike?"
Lu Jianheng choked for a moment, then smiled playfully: "That can't be done."
He took a step closer, lowered his voice, and asked slyly, "Brother, you've been practicing your disappearing skills quite a lot this weekend, haven't you?..."
Before Lu Yannan could finish his words, he had already reached out and opened the door.
A cold wind blew in.
Without even turning his head, he just said, "Stop asking."
Lu Jianheng curled his lips: "Tsk, there's something going on and you're not allowed to ask..."
The car stopped in front of Pei Mo Ning's treatment center.
He did not get out of the car, but simply rolled down the window, casually rested his arm on the window sill, and his eyes fell on the glass door of the treatment center.
The afterglow of the setting sun gives the buildings a warm golden hue.
He arrived ten minutes early.
Watch the sporadic visitors coming in and out and wait patiently.
Soon, the glass door opened and Pei Mo Ning appeared at the door.
She was wearing a khaki windbreaker and carrying a bag, and seemed to have just finished work.
The corners of Lu Yannan's lips just curved up, and the next second, the curve suddenly froze.
A tall and straight man followed Pei Mo Ning out.
The man was wearing a dark grey coat of fine texture. He had a sturdy build, strong and deep facial features, and a mature and steady handsomeness.
He stood beside Pei Mo Ning, with his head slightly lowered, and was talking to her intently.
Pei Mo Ning listened attentively, with a smile familiar to Lu Yannan on his face, and nodded in response from time to time.
The two stood very close, their shoulders almost touching, and their posture seemed extremely familiar and intimate.
The light of the setting sun shines on them, outlining a harmonious picture that is difficult for others to interfere with.
Lu Yannan's hand on the car window sill suddenly tightened.
An unfamiliar feeling of sourness and stuffiness suddenly blocked his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
