"Sorry, Mr. Gu, I just..."
She took a step back, retreating to Gu Chen's rear.
Gu Chen only glanced at her sideways briefly and did not speak, but he slowed his step even more.
Shen Xian walked at a steady pace, always maintaining a one to two-step distance from Gu Chen. When they were nearly at the mountain peak, she saw a couple riding a motorcycle descending the mountain, speeding all the way, extremely pleased with themselves.
"Hehe, take your time climbing, still a long way to go!"
"Hahaha... Bro, let's hold hands..."
The couple on the motorcycle were very young. On the rarely trodden road, seeing the two attractive men and women, they started shouting jokes out loud, their voices fading away with the sound of the motorcycle in the distance.
"Oohooh..." the young man on the motorcycle yelled out, and the girl also let out a piercing scream. The voices of the two resonated through the valley, their youthful exuberance livening up the quiet mountain hollow for a while.
