Xue Xue turned her head and bumped right into Chi Yu's arms.
She touched her nose.
Eve stared at the man who suddenly appeared, with undisguised appreciation in her eyes.
During the hike, except for a short rest time, they didn't have much opportunity to get to know each other, including this close look at each other.
Eve first noticed Chi Yu because of his loving and caring attitude towards his girlfriend. That kind of sincere natural emotion was the most attractive, but now that Eve has a closer look, she found that this man with a standard oriental face was more good-looking than all she has ever seen.
Like a statue in a museum, with an artistic, masculine beauty.
Eve held out her hand to him.
"Hello."
Staring at the woman's open palm, Chi Yu frowned, and was about to say something when Xue Xue elbowed his side.
"Hello."
Chi Yu didn't shake back, but just nodded to the other party. He was unwilling to say even a short word.
However, before the awkward atmosphere spread, Daniel soon came to Eve, took her to meet his new friends, and gave Xue Xue and Chi Yu a chance to spend time alone.
"Why, are you unhappy?"
"En, I don't like the way she looks at you." Chi Yu readily admitted.
"The way she looked at me?" Xue Xue almost laughed out loud. "Really, I should be the one angry. Eve looks at you with naked admiration."
"Really? Then are you angry?"
Xue Xue looked at the man with a half-smile, not a smile and did not answer.
Chi Yu was silent. Although he didn't ask, he stared deeply at Xue Xue with a stubborn gaze.
An atmosphere that cannot be broken by a third person was formed between the two, full of tension, like as if they were both lovers and enemies.
At this moment, someone shouted "It's snowing!"
Xue Xue and Chi Yu raised their heads tacitly, and saw flakes of snow falling through the misty clouds.
Xue Xue opened her hand.
The stinging flakes of snow melted after a brief stay at the fingertips.
Silently, just like when it fell.
Everyone was very excited. It was not that they have never seen snow, but in the wild mountains, surrounded by cloud-covered cliffs, with the howling wind blowing in their ears, it was like being in a scene created by special effects of a movie, which made people feel involuntarily intoxicated.
Soon, the snow increased by several centimeters.
Seeing that the weather was not right, the guide hurriedly asked everyone to pack up their things and prepare to go down the mountain along the original road.
"Reluctant?"
Seeing Xue Xue's slow movements, Chi Yu, who lagged behind her, asked.
"Hmm, it's beautiful here."
Xue Xue said, walking to the platform where one can have a panoramic view of the entire valley and the city, overlooking the scenery hazy by the flying snowflakes. The vision at this time was actually not good , the color was frizzy, like the dye that smudged all over the face after touching the water. However, the vagueness was more able to touch Xue Xue's mood.
She felt very small.
Compared with everything in the universe.
Xue Xue closed her eyes, and used the little time left to remember this rare feeling.
Chi Yu always stood a few steps away from Xue Xue, staring at her quietly.
For a moment, Chi Yu felt that Xue Xue did not belong to this world, but was just a bystander, calmly facing all kinds of situations in the world.
He was amused by his sudden thought, but no matter how people deceived him, he couldn't deceive himself. When he saw Xue Xue took a step forward and was only a short distance away from the abyss, he stepped forward to grab Xue Xue in a panic and pulled her into his arms forcefully.
Chi Yu hugged her very tightly, as if Xue Xue would disappear out of thin air in the next second, so that he could never find her again.
The body's reaction can't deceive people, although it was not clear, when receiving the man's fear and anxiety, Xue Xue chose to raise her hand and gently patted his back.
"What's wrong?"
"I… will tell you everything." Chi Yu stretched his arms so that Xue Xue's body could stick to him. "So, please, please don't give up on me, please…Xue Xue…babe…don't leave…"
Hearing this, Xue Xue was startled.
The descent was not much faster than the ascent, and because of the new layer of snow, extra caution was required.
By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark.
Eve found Xue Xue for contact information. Although Chi Yu stood aside with a stinky face, he didn't step forward to refuse. He just stared at Eve closely, as if he was afraid that she would abduct Xue Xue away.
"Actually, I originally wanted to ask for it from your boyfriend." After entering Xue Xue's mobile phone number, Eve whispered in Xue Xue's ear. "It's just that he looks too fierce. Look at him now, doesn't he look like he's going to eat me?"
Xue Xue followed Eve's line of sight and saw Chi Yu looking at her, even if he was still chatting with two other men who were standing beside him talking endlessly.
"Although I really admire him, it's tiring to have such a boyfriend, right?"
"Huh?"
Xue Xue turned her head, and saw Eve looking at her with a meaningful smile in her eyes.
"Although I sometimes feel that Daniel doesn't care much about me, it doesn't seem like a big deal now. At least I am free. I can do whatever I want, and I can hang out with whoever I want. If it's your boyfriend, tsk, I'm afraid I'm going to be forced to stay at home until I go crazy."
"…"
Xue Xue wanted to say that Chi Yu was not such a person, but thinking of Xue Li in her previous life, she took back the words that came to her lips.
However, Eve's words made Xue Xue add another reason why Xue Li was unwilling to start over again in this life.
During that later period, although Chi Yu didn't limit Xue Li's freedom on the surface, the 24-hour intense staring made Xue Li feel like a restraint, but because of love and nostalgia, he kept letting go. She thought all this caused more pressure on Xue Li's already precarious mental state.
"Let me tell you…"
Eve obviously didn't intend to stop talking.
At this time, Chi Yu had finished talking and walked towards them.
"Actually no." Xue Xue interrupted Eve with a smile after rearranging her thoughts. "My boyfriend is indeed not that perfect…"
Chi Yu paused, and heard Xue Xue contradict Eve's words with a calm but sweet tone.
"But there is no perfect person. He cares about me and trusts me. I repay his care and work hard to live up to his trust. This is a very equal and free relationship."
"And I know that he is slowly changing himself for our future, which to me is more exciting than any sweet talk."
Xue Xue's tone was very gentle, as gentle as a ball of soft cotton, which wrapped Chi Yu's beating heart and injected endless energy into it.
