    Chapter 23 A wish to grow old together until death.

    Cheng Yuxin still remembered that the four of them ended up renting two cars that day under Lin Leshu’s strong efforts to stop them.Lin Leshu was also very good at bargaining. In just a few words, he lowered the price to a figure that Cheng Yuxin had never expected.What made Cheng Yuxin even more unexpected was that the farmer who drove the car actually agreed.

    The final outcome is of course a smooth climb up the mountain.

    Cheng Yuxin didn’t know what she was angry about this time. She had already been here once and experienced the dangers and difficulties of the mountain road.But he was not convinced and wanted to go through it himself.

    Don’t hit the wall and don’t look back?No, if you hit the south wall, you might have to suffer a bloody blow before you are willing to guard the world outside the wall and refuse to leave.

    However, things were far worse than imagined. As the wind became stronger and stronger, the originally cloudless sky gradually became covered with clouds.

    Jiang Chen took out his cell phone. The weather forecast still stubbornly showed that it would be sunny today.But the howling north wind is getting stronger and stronger, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky is getting darker and darker.Everything shows that a heavy snow or heavy rain is looming in the near future.

    Jiang Chen took out the raincoat he had prepared in advance from his bag and helped Cheng Yuxin put it on before putting it on himself.Seeing Cheng Yuxin’s pale face again, he took out a pack of dark chocolate from his bag and said, “Let’s take a rest, it won’t be long before now.”

    Cheng Yuxin was really tired, so she stopped forcing herself, took the chocolate, and sat down on the big stone by the roadside.

    This stone was originally left in place because it was too big to move. Unexpectedly, there were so many tourists coming and stopping to rest here. The surface of the stone has been polished smooth, as if it was specially placed here for tourists.

    While Cheng Yuxin was unpacking the chocolate, Jiang Chen took out the thermos cup, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.”Drink some water. It’s a bit hot. Let it cool down first.”

    Cheng Yuxin took the cup and felt a little emotional.Although this person’s mind is not pure, and his behavior is not clear enough, he does everything in a flawless manner. Even if he is as cunning as himself, it is difficult to find his mistakes.

    Why can’t such people cooperate with themselves openly and honestly?He always does things that make people misunderstood and blush.Cheng Yuxin touched the corner of his mouth. If it weren’t for such a face, he would have turned against the person and driven him away.

    But it was precisely because of this face that he forced the person to stay in the first place.In the end, I found it myself.Cheng Yu thought angrily.Let’s explain it to him after the wedding is over.

    When Cheng Yuxin was lost in thought, Jiang Chen was also looking at him in deep thought.He saw Cheng Yuxin’s expression change from confusion to pity to gritted teeth.Seeing Cheng Yuxin holding the cup obediently, touching the corner of her mouth shyly, drinking the water angrily, and swallowing it embarrassingly because it was too hot.

    Jiang Chen took out a tissue and handed it over at the right moment.”Just wipe it.”

    Cheng Yuxin’s tongue was so hot that it turned red, but he was too embarrassed to stick out his tongue, so he could only grit his teeth and resist.When I saw the tissue handed to me, I quickly took it and wiped it around my mouth a few times.But it didn’t relieve the pain in my mouth.

    Jiang Chen looked worried for him, but there was no cold water here, and Cheng Yuxin refused to spit it out because of his face.Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then pinched the person’s chin with his hand and forced him to open his mouth.

    “If it’s hot, spit it out. What are you going to do if you swallow it?”

    “Ahhhh…” Cheng Yu thought to himself, it was too ugly.But his mouth was forced open, his tongue was tied helplessly, and he couldn’t speak coherent words at all.His face turned red from anxiety, and there were tears in his eyes.

    As Jiang Chen watched, his heart became inexplicably confused.Just like this weather with strong winds and dark clouds, soon there will be lightning and thunder, and heavy rain will pour down.

    The moment the cold rain fell, Jiang Chen reacted almost at the same time, loosened his grip on the man’s hand, took off his raincoat and put it on Cheng Yuxin’s head.The winter rain comes so fast that it hits people’s faces so hard that they can hardly see the road in front of them.Without the raincoat, no matter how much he wore, Jiang Chen’s clothes would be soaked through in a short while.

    Cheng Yuxin cursed: “Are you crazy? What should you do?”

    Take off your raincoat while talking.

    Jiang Chen tightly held his arm to prevent him from moving: “Don’t move, let’s go together.” After saying that, he hugged Cheng Yuxin and came behind the stone, and unfolded the raincoat above Cheng Yuxin’s head, forming a simple rain shelter together with the stone.

    He got under the raincoat close to Cheng Yuxin’s body.With the stone cover and the protection of the raincoat, the wind can’t blow and the rain can’t get wet.It’s just that Jiang Chen was drenched in cold water just now. Now his hair and clothes are all wet, and the rainwater on his face flowed down his chin into his clothes, which is biting and cold.

    Cheng Yuxin was a little frightened by what he was doing, so she handed over the cup that was still warm in her hand.”You drink.”

    Jiang Chen took it and smiled calmly: “I’m fine.”

    “Drink!” Cheng Yuxin was a little anxious, fearing that this man would fall ill because of him.

    He was unfamiliar with this place, and Jiang Chen was so big that he wouldn’t have room to cry when the time came.

    Jiang Chen saw his anxiety and reluctantly took the cup and drank it in one gulp.”I drank. Look.” He turned the empty cup over and showed it to Cheng Yuxin.

    “I know my health well, so you don’t have to worry. As for you, don’t you want to attend the wedding tomorrow? Are you going to attend with a runny nose?” Jiang Chen joked in order to divert Cheng Yuxin’s attention.

    When the wedding was mentioned, Cheng Yuxin immediately calmed down a lot.He looked up at the dark sky and frowned: “What if it keeps raining?”

    “No, although the weather forecast is inaccurate, the general direction is always correct. It should just pass through the clouds, and it will be fine soon.”

    As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, as if to verify his conclusion, the heavy rain that had been pouring just now was like a hair dryer with insufficient power, which soon ran out of power.The rain began to pour and the wind stopped roaring.

    Jiang Chen smiled and said: “Look, isn’t this small?”

    Cheng Yuxin’s eyebrows stretched a little, and her eyes began to stare at the sparse rain in a daze.

    Jiang Chen did not disturb him.When the rain stopped completely, the sky became bluer, and the mountain wind was no longer harsh, Jiang Chen helped Cheng Yuxin stand up.He put away the raincoats above their heads, took off Cheng Yuxin’s raincoat, and put them both into the waterproof compartment of the backpack.Jiang Chen picked up his backpack.”Let’s go.”

    Cheng Yuxin hesitated: “How about we go back.” Jiang Chen’s clothes were still soaked. Although the wind was not as strong as before, it was still not too strong.He was very afraid that something might happen to this man on the mountain.

    “We are all here. Guanyin went down the mountain without seeing us. Won’t Guanyin be disappointed in us?” Jiang Chen, however, had his own persistence and retorted confidently.

    “But your clothes…” Cheng Yuxin pleaded with her fingers on his soaked sleeves.

    “It doesn’t matter, I know it well.” Jiang Chen said, angrily leaving Cheng Yuxin and walking towards the mountain.

    Cheng Yuxin didn’t know why he was so persistent.Seeing that the person was already far away, I could only follow him quickly.The mountain road that had just rained was wet and slippery. Cheng Yuxin was anxious, but he couldn’t keep up with the people in front of him.Seeing that the distance between the two could never be shortened, Cheng Yuxin simply gave up and walked alone slowly as if on an outing.

    Or just go down the mountain, Cheng Yu thought with a heartbroken mind.While he was hesitating, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

    Jiang Chen actually turned back.

    Cheng Yuxin was about to ask him what he wanted to do, but Jiang Chen didn’t give him a chance to speak.She took his hand and walked towards the mountain without any explanation.

    Cheng Yuxin followed reluctantly, trying several times to ask Jiang Chen to let go and let him go down the mountain.Seeing that the mountain road was muddy again, I looked back and saw that the road behind me was winding and endless.

    It is impossible to go down the mountain alone.

    Cheng Yuxin accepted her fate and was half-dragged and half-dragged by Jiang Chen to the ticket office of the scenic spot.

    He had been here once before, so he knew that the roads in the scenic area were not as rugged as when he came here, and he also knew that the Guanyin Statue was not far from the ticket gate.

    So when Jiang Chen bought the ticket, he repeatedly emphasized: “After seeing the Guanyin statue, leave and never stay any longer!”

    “Okay.” Jiang Chen agreed happily.

    But Cheng Yuxin could no longer trust this person and was afraid that someone would do something crazy if he wasn’t careful.

    But looking around, I couldn’t see any tourists except the two of them in the scenic spot where it had just rained.Guanyin Mountain does not have the conditions for cliff jumping due to its altitude.

    He probably won’t go crazy again, Cheng Yuxin thought for the rest of his life.

    At this time, Jiang Chen had already bought the tickets and asked Cheng Yuxin to enter the mountain gate together.The roads in the scenic area are indeed much smoother, and there are even railings on the roadside that can be climbed.

    It’s a pity that it was wet by the cold rain. It must feel very sour to the touch at this time.Cheng Yuxin didn’t want to test the law by himself, so he followed Jiang Chen honestly. After walking a few steps along the avenue in the scenic area, he saw the figure of the Guanyin statue not far away.

    It’s finally arrived.Cheng Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief and secretly swore in his heart that he would never come to this place again in his life.

    The Guanyin statue that he had longed for was right in front of him, but Jiang Chen stopped.Until Cheng Yuxin, who was left behind, came to her side and took Cheng Yuxin’s hand.

    Cheng Yuxin was caught off guard and startled, and subconsciously looked around. The huge scenic spot was quiet. Not to mention the tourists, not even the staff could be seen.

    Cheng Yuxin felt a little relieved, and although it was strange, she still let the person lead her.

    He was led by Jiang Chen to the Guanyin statue.

    In recent years, Guanyin Mountain has become popular, and various offerings have been placed in front of the Guanyin statue.Jiang Chen took out the tributes he carefully selected from his backpack, gave half of them to Cheng Yuxin, and motioned for them to put them on top together with him.

    Cheng Yuxin was a little reluctant.He had been to Guanyin Mountain, so he naturally knew what it meant for the two people traveling together to place tributes together.

    Let’s grow old together until death.

    But combined with previous experience, this Guanyin Mountain doesn’t work at all.So although Cheng Yuxin resisted, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, she and Jiang Chen still put up the tributes.

    After placing the tributes, Jiang Chen bowed deeply to the Guanyin statue three times.Cheng Yuxin looked at his pious actions and felt that she couldn’t do nothing.

    Putting his hands together in front of the Guanyin statue, Cheng Yuxin closed his eyes and prayed silently: May Lin Leshu and Zheng Yiyi be happy and united for a hundred years.
