Chapter 557 So Childish
Lu Jie was not aware of the agreement reached between Han Xi and Lu Pei. He suffered a loss at the hands of Han Xi again. He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer and was said to have returned to the capital overnight.
Han Xi and Fang Li stayed in the village for one night. When Fang Li woke up early the next morning, she found out why Han Xi brought her here.
The window lattices of the bamboo building were gleaming with light in the morning dew. When Fang Li climbed up the wooden ladder to the platform, she was nailed to the spot by the scene before her.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance looked like they were covered in golden paint by the gods. The continuous ridges were flowing with a molten gold luster under the morning sun, and the light reflected by the ice crystals was so bright that people could not open their eyes.
The sea of clouds at the foot of the mountain is rolling, sometimes spreading over the mountainside, and sometimes retreating to reveal blue-gray rocks, like a fairyland.
"Does it look good?"
Han Xi stood behind her, holding two bowls of steaming corn porridge in his hands, with fine water droplets condensing on the rims of the white porcelain bowls.
Fang Li took a long time to find her voice, her fingertips trembling slightly. "How can there be a snow-capped mountain here? I didn't see any nearby when I came here during the day."
"Qingfeng Town is located in a valley, so we can't see it. The altitude here is high enough to see it naturally."
Han Xi handed the porridge to her, and the warmth of his palm came through the bowl. "The old couple said that you can see the sun shining on the golden mountain for no more than thirty days a year."
Fang Li held the bowl of warm porridge, looked at the pride that could not be hidden in his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
She turned to look at him, the morning light falling on her eyelashes, casting tiny shadows. "Lu Jie took me to see the night view, and you brought me to see this. Han Xi, why are you so childish?"
Han Xi raised an eyebrow and reached out to brush away the osmanthus flowers that had fallen on her shoulders. "I just wanted you to see it better."
He really did it on purpose.
When I saw the look in Lu Jie's eyes when he looked at Fang Li in the billiard room last night, the possessiveness that had been dormant in my heart for many years grew like weeds.
What is Lu Jie?
What he can give, he can not only give, but also give better.
Ever since they were fifteen and they were fighting for the same book in the library, he has never lost to that flamboyant guy.
Fang Li smiled while biting the spoon, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had a piece of honey in her heart.
This taciturn man is always trying to prove something in his own clumsy way.
She tilted her head back and took a sip of porridge. The sweetness of the corn mixed with the scent of the mountains warmed her stomach.
"Go back."
She tugged at his sleeve and said, "Wen Yang and the others must be getting impatient."
The way down the mountain was more difficult than the way up. Han Xi almost had to half-carry her to walk through the gravel slope.
Lin Mo had already parked the car at the intersection. Seeing the two people coming, he quickly got out and opened the door. His eyes paused on Fang Li's red ankle, and he tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
When the car drove out of the mountains, Fang Li saw more than a dozen messages sent by Wen Yang on her mobile phone, the latest one was sent half an hour ago.
"Lili! The crew has officially started filming. Senior and I will be taking the 3pm flight back to Beijing. You two should hurry!"
She replied, "Right away," and turned to look at Han Xi: "Wen Yang and his team's flight is at 3 pm."
"Let Lin Mo change his ticket to the same flight."
Han Xi was reading a document and didn't even look up when he heard this. "It's a good opportunity for us to go back together."
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Kuncheng Airport.
Wen Yang was standing on tiptoe, peering through the crowd. Seeing Fang Li and Han Xi approaching, she immediately shook off Zhou Yufan's hand and ran over. "Oh my god! You're finally here! If you were just five minutes later, the plane would have left!"
She looked Fang Li up and down, and suddenly lowered her voice: "How was the battle last night?"
Fang Li's face flushed instantly, and she pinched her arm: "What nonsense are you talking about? What's the battle situation?"
"You didn't come back all night, don't even think you found a place to just sleep."
Wen Yang winked, "Boss Han came all the way here, and after being provoked by Lu Jie, didn't he do anything else last night?"
"No."
Zhou Yufan came over, holding Wen Yang's scattered backpack in his hand: "Okay, time to board the plane."
When the plane took off, Fang Li leaned on Han Xi's shoulder and looked at the clouds.
Wen Yang and Zhou Yufan were sitting in the front row, arguing fiercely over a magazine.
"I heard that Lu Jie returned to the capital last night." Fang Li said softly.
Han Xi hummed, pausing his fingers as he flipped through the financial newspaper. "He needs an explanation from Director Lu. The port project is more important to the Lu Corporation than just a single project. He probably doesn't have time to bother with you for now."
Fang Li was a little surprised: "You calculated this a long time ago?"
"I warned him a long time ago, but he didn't know when to quit." Han Xi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something very normal.
Fang Li felt helpless and said nothing, just snuggled into his arms.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.
The baggage claim area was bustling with people. Han Xi and Zhou Yufan followed behind pushing the luggage cart, and Lin Mo was carrying several heavy paper bags containing the specialties that Fang Li had bought in Kuncheng.
Fang Li and Wen Yang walked in front arm in arm, chattering about the interesting things that happened during their trip to Kuncheng.
"You didn't see Lu Jie's expression!"
Wen Yang laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Standing there shirtless, he looks like a plucked chicken!"
Fang Li was amused by her and laughed until tears came out: "Be quiet, don't let others hear."
"What happened?"
Wen Yang raised an eyebrow, "He deserves it! Who made him always pester you..."
Before she finished speaking, Fang Li suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards her.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a young man and woman rushing towards her. The man was carrying a black backpack and his eyes were so fierce that he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"careful!"
Almost at the same time, Wen Yang and Han Xi's voices rang out.
Wen Yang reacted extremely quickly, hugged Fang Li fiercely, turned around, and blocked that direction with his back.
The man's bag hit her lower back hard, making a dull sound.
"Well!"
Wen Yang groaned in pain, his face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.
"Yangyang!"
Fang Li exclaimed, supporting her staggering friend.
Han Xi threw the luggage cart away, rushed over like a gust of wind, and kicked the man on the knee.
With the sound of bones breaking, the man screamed and fell to his knees.
Lin Mo followed closely behind, grabbed the woman's wrist with his backhand and pressed her to the ground.
Zhou Yufan also reacted and immediately protected Fang Li and Wen Yang behind him, looking around vigilantly: "Are you okay? Where are you hurt?"
"I'm fine..."
Wen Yang gritted her teeth and covered her lower back with her hands. No blood seeped from between her fingers, but the excruciating pain made it almost impossible for her to stand. "There seems to be a brick in that bag..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately opened the man's backpack.
Several angular half bricks rolled out, still covered in cement chips.
"Hold!"
Zhou Yufan couldn't help but curse, his face livid, "How dare you bring this!"
Han Xi's expression could no longer be described as gloomy; it was a coldness that was almost ferocious.
