Chapter 23 Do You Like This?

The terrain around Hongshi is relatively flat, there are no spectacular mountains, mostly low hills. And because of the lack of scenic spots and historical sites, and the tourist trails are not well built, the popularity has been bleak. Except for trekking friends, and some companies will organize group camping, basically no tourists will go.

"Some companies," including Arya.

Probably in the early autumn of last year, Xu Xi personally went to my apartment and dug me out of the bed, stuffed me into the car and took me to a mountain called "Wuyan" on the edge of Hongshi City. After about two hours of trek with the rest of Arya's staff, they finally arrived at a homestay deep in the mountains.

These two hours are the longest two hours I've had in years. I walked a full six kilometers on a muddy mountain road in ill-fitting shoes and ill-fitting clothing.

It's not the same thing as six kilometers on a treadmill, even though the weather was so cool and my clothes were all soaked by the end of the entire hike. In addition to sitting down and gasping for breath, even facing Monica's ruthless ridicule, she couldn't make a strong response.

Only later did I know that the car can actually drive to the door of the homestay from another road, which is very convenient. But in order to make everyone more united, braver, and more persevering, Xu Xi and the guide designed this two-hour devil's road.

I drove out of Hongshi City all the way, and when arrived at Wuyan Mountain, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun would go down in another hour.

With Ji Chenfeng, it is of course impossible to choose that hiking route. I entered the mountain from another road, and parked the car directly in the open space in front of the homestay according to the navigation.

The reception hall where I checked in is a simple earthen building. Since I called before I came, the boss gave me a key and a map after registering quickly.

"Follow this road, and you'll be there in about ten minutes." The boss went to the door to show us the way. "What do you think of the dinner delivered in an hour?"

"OK." I nodded, then greeted Ji Chenfeng, who was constantly looking around, and walked towards a path behind the building.

The path is winding and winding upwards, hidden in the tall vegetation, and when the breeze blows, the top of the head rustles.

"The road is a little slippery, be careful." I instructed Ji Chenfeng, who was following behind, without looking back.

The steps are paved with bluestone, and there is inevitably moss. In addition, the mountain is humid in the morning and evening, and it is easy to slip when walking fast.

"Tonight...Aren't you going back?" Ji Chenfeng's voice came from not far behind.

"Didn't your dean let you rest at home tomorrow to recover from your injury? Since you have a rest, it doesn't matter if you stay for one night." I stopped and turned to look at him, "Or... you can't live out?" The corners of his lips ticked slightly, I let out an almost "provocative" smile.

The setting sun cast mottled light and shadow through the leaves, Ji Chenfeng looked up and stopped.

"No, it's just a little sudden."

I said "Oh", turned around and continued to walk up the mountain: "I thought your tutoring was so strict that you even had to apply in advance to spend the night with your friends."

"You had a fever before, and I lived at your house."

It was only after he said this that I remembered, indeed, it was an out-of-home stay.

"Since we have slept in the same bed for a long time, there is no need to worry." I waved the key card in my hand behind me, and I smiled, "Enjoy tonight, Doctor Ji."

According to the map, after walking for ten minutes, at the fork of the path, we managed to find the bubble house in the forest with the words "Tianshu" on the door.

The transparent inflatable bubble house stands on a wooden platform, a total of three balls are connected to each other, one is equipped with bedding and solar lighting facilities, one is equipped with a dining table, and the last is an opaque white ball with basic bathroom facilities.

I got into the bubble house and turned on all the lights. I took off my jacket and sat down on the sofa.

"Sit down." I patted the seat next to me.

Ji Chenfeng withdrew his curious eyes and walked over to me obediently. Space is limited, this loveseat is mini size, it is very cramped to sit two big men, our sideways are almost pressed together.

I loosened my tie, propped my head and elbows on the armrest of the sofa, looked ahead, and briefly explained the work for Ji Chenfeng.

"This bubble house is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset on the whole mountain."

The sofa is facing the transparent inflatable wall. Looking around, the field of vision is wide. Except for a circle of guardrails outside, there is no vegetation blocking it. You can easily see that the setting sun reflects the clouds on the horizon into a dreamy blue-purple, and the silhouette of the trees at the bottom is as beautiful as an oil painting after losing the sunlight.

If it wasn't for the face of this scene last year, Xu Xi would have been blacklisted by me long ago.

Although the scenery is beautiful, the relationship that may have been seen, no longer has such a big impact. I looked away, and instead looked at the man beside me.

Ji Chenfeng seemed to be completely stunned by the beauty in front of him, staring at the eye-catching glow, his breathing became lighter.

The sunset shone into his pupils, fell on his cheeks, and sprinkled between his hair. He completely melted into this warm color, and he couldn't find any incongruity, as if... he was born with such a warm color.

"Does it look good?"

"Yeah." He carefully traced every cloud and tree in front of him with his eyes. The gloom that had been there all the way between his brows finally disappeared at this moment.

I look back to the front again.

"Yeah, I think it looks good too."

The two of us just sat on the uncomfortable sofa, enjoying the whole process of the sun rising and setting quietly and without communication.

No fire can be lit on the mountain, and dinner is delivered from the reception hall by the staff of the homestay with incubators and cutlery. The taste is not as good as the freshly made outside, but eating such a meal in the quiet mountains and forests under the dim light is also considered a unique flavor.

"Has Dr. Ji ever been camping before?" After taking a few bites, he couldn't eat any more. He asked Ji Chenfeng, who was sitting across from him, while stirring the thick soup in front of him with a silver spoon.

Under the flickering light of the electronic candle, Ji Chenfeng raised his head from the food, thought about it, and gave a negative answer.

"No."

"What about a picnic?"

"nor."

"When I was studying, I went to a summer camp organized by the school. In a large park, everyone carried their tents around looking for a place to set up. They slept in small tents and ate in bigger tents. Not really. camping, but it was very interesting for me when I was a kid.” Looking back, it was also a rare moment when I felt relaxed when I was young.

At the age of five, at Xu Xi's strong request, I was brought to the Xu family to be raised. Later, when I reached the age of reading, I entered a 12-year boarding school similar to Zheng Jieyuan. Thanks to this, I didn't have to rack my brains to figure out how to get along with the two elders of the Xu family.

However, even boarding schools always have a day off. Once the winter and summer vacations come, I have to go back to that depressing mansion. At this time, attending summer camp became the best way for me to avoid getting along with the Xu family.

"When we were young...we didn't have any extra money to travel and have fun. I seldom participated in the activities organized by the school. But in the summer, the children of Fly City will organize a courage test meeting." Ji Chenfeng said slowly.

"Fly City" is the name given to the slum by the people who live in it, with the self-joking and sarcasm of their locals, meaning - a place where flies gather. It doesn't sound much better than "ghetto," but they're quite catchy themselves.

"Try the courage? Where to try?" Because of a strange love for horror movies, when I heard the word "courage", I couldn't help but become interested.

This is the beginning of many horror movies.

"Go to the most dilapidated building to try. Everyone can only carry one candle..." He fell into memory, and as he spoke, a faint smile gradually appeared in his eyes, "After entering the building, you have to climb to the On the top floor, leaned out the window and waved to everyone, and then went back the same way. The person who took the shortest trip in this way could become the 'warrior' of that year."

If I hadn't exchanged with Ji Chenfeng, I would have been the warrior every year. Thinking like this, he stirred the scraps for a while. It is said that everyone, without exception, has no problem with being a fool in the past. And now, I feel the same foolishness of myself, who would have had such a ridiculous idea in the last second.

Am I envious of Ji Chenfeng? Envy him for having a chance to win such a useless "Warrior" title?

be sick.

"Have you ever been a 'warrior'?"

Throwing down the silver spoon, I stood up, picked up the gift of white wine from the dining car on the side, and opened it with a corkscrew.

"No, I don't really like... the dark."

When pouring wine for Ji Chenfeng, he covered the mouth of the glass with one hand and lifted the sloping bottle with the other hand, indicating that I don't need to pour it for him.

I raised my eyebrows: "Aren't you going to drink a little?"

He shook his head and moved the glass further away.

"I'll get drunk."

"Is there anything I have to do while awake tonight?" I joked at him knowingly.

He raised his eyes slightly, looked at me for a moment with those eyes that would have been particularly indifferent if he didn't speak, and then lowered them.

"I just don't want to lose consciousness in front of you."

That's a shame. When you're drunk, you might have a higher temperature in your mouth, and it's better to fiddle with.

My mind was full of animal thoughts, but on the surface I was still smiling.

"If you don't drink it, I can only drink it." I shook the bottle and said.

After the meal was over, the staff came up to remove the plates, and asked us to call the front desk if we had any questions or needs before leaving, and said that if there was no special reason, they would not come to disturb us again.

This is true now, only me and Ji Chenfeng are left.

Although it was pitch-dark all around, it was still early, and if I didn't find something else to do, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep at all.

something else...

While Ji Chenfeng went to the bathroom to wash, I sat on the sofa, looking at the distance and the starry sky above my head, drinking glass after glass, and unknowingly drank the entire bottle of white wine.

Unlike Ji Chenfeng's chicken, my alcohol intake has always been good. It's just that because of quitting drinking, I haven't touched alcohol much in three years, so I still feel a little uncomfortable as soon as I drink the whole bottle.

The brain is awake, but the body starts to heat up jerky. The fingertips, the fundus of the eyes, the mouth, and even the breathed gas is hot like lava.

Unbutton the neckline, then the belt around the waist.

When Ji Chenfeng came out of the bathroom, I just unzipped the zipper and let my pants fall to the ground. He was wearing the gray and hemp-colored bathrobe provided by the B&B and wiped his damp hair. Seeing this scene, he instantly froze in place. After a while, a heavy gaze slowly moved downstream from my face and stayed on the lower body for a long time.

The material of the bathrobe is light and thin, so you can see clearly what your body reacts to immediately. Even if it was just eye contact, no one would underestimate Ji Chenfeng's beast that was quietly raising its head in the dark.

Why is this place the only one that is monster level? Even though it was the second time I saw it, I was still amazed uncontrollably in my heart.

"What, do you like this?" I lowered my head and tugged at the black straps that held the hem of my shirt and the edge of my socks.

The hand holding the towel fell down naturally, and he finally raised his head and his eyes fell on my face.

"Um."

The Adam's apple rolled, still so simple that it couldn't be easier to reply, but it was more magnetic than usual, and when it got into the ear, it was like an electric current was passing through it. But maybe, it's just that my alcoholism is on the rise.

I sat down on the bed smiling and patted the seat next to me.

"Then...don't take it down."
