CHAPTER 223 (2/2)

Xie Xi spoke with no strength. “Where are we going?”

“Xiling Mountain.”

Xie Xi was surprised. “What are we going to do?”

“Climb the mountain and watch the sunrise.”

Xie Xi instantly wanted to die. “So early in the morning…” Climbing the mountain to watch the sunset at 5 or 6 in the morning, he would really be tired of the world!

It was unknown what Taurus was up to but he was as stubborn as an old cow. “Hurry up or we will miss it.”

Xie Xi silently refused.

Jiang Xie gave the killing blow. “If you are obedient in these three months, I will return Chengyu to you.”

“Eh?”

“I have never lied to you.” He never lied to Xie Xi but Xie Xi deceived him.

Xie Xi had no interest in Chengyu but Jiang Xie was taking the initiative to give him ‘psychological treatment’ for his world-weariness and he had to cooperate.

After all, his aim was to use this to help Jiang Xie release his heart knot…

It was just that he didn’t expect the treatment to be so tiring!

“What do you count as obedient?” Xie Xi sat up and struggled to ask.

Jiang Xie replied, “I want you to accompany me for activities.”

Xie Xi’s mouth twitched. “Does that include climbing the mountain at five in the morning to see the sunrise?”

Yes.

Yes, your sister!

Xie Xi turned over and wrapped himself up like a silkworm cocoon.

Jiang Xie questioned, “Didn’t you say you could do anything for Chengyu?”

Xie Xi hatefully thought, ‘I am doing everything for you!’

Jiang Xie added, “It seems you are no longer interested in Chengyu. Then…”

Xie Xi opened the quilt and looked at the other person with messy hair.

Jiang Xie’s voice was filled with some warmth. “Are you going?”

Xie Xi gritted his teeth. “…I’m going.”

In fact, climbing the mountain didn’t matter. Xie Xi wasn’t afraid of anything since his physique meant he could climb three mountains without gasping. However, the time was too early? Wasn’t this meant for sleeping? Why go hiking?

Xiling Mountain was a scenic spot on the outskirts of D City. It was known as the first mountain on the sea. Once someone climbed to the peak, they could see the beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky.

Xie Xi had no interest in the scenery. His body was covered in the cold air of someone who just woke up.

Fortunately, this sentiment was in line with the world-weariness of Xie Xi.

It was early but there were many people who wanted to see the sunrise on this mountain.

Xie Xi wasn’t tired when climbing the mountain but he was very happy.

Jiang Xie was worried and afraid that Xie Xi’s body couldn’t stand it, so he walked very slowly.

In fact, this Xiling Mountain wasn’t very high and most of it was a flat path. It was very suitable for the ‘skinny’ Xie Xi to hike.

The higher he went, the fresher the air became and the more Xie Xi lost his anger.

Jiang Xie saw the beads of sweat on Xie Xi’s forehead and asked, “Are you tired?”

Xie Xi’s sweat was all fake and aiming for sympathy. “I’m not tired.” His mouth was more tightly closed.

Jiang Xie reached out a hand. “This part is a bit steep. I will help you.”

Xie Xi happily grabbed this hand.

Jiang Xie carefully protecting him and climbed more than a dozen steps together.

Xie Xi was so tired that he gasped.

Jiang Xie took a bottle of water out of the backpack and gave it to him. “Would you like to drink?”

Xie Xi took a few big mouthfuls. Jiang Xie’s eyes flashed and he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Xie Xi noticed his expression… Walking for so long was to make him eat?

In fact, there was no need to go to so much trouble. Xie Xi wanted to eat salted duck eggs with porridge and crab dumplings from the moment he woke up.

He was hungry just having such a thought.

The benefit to climbing the mountain was that Xie Xi could justifiably say, “A bit.”

Jiang Xie’s eyes were bright. “I brought some food. Come this way.”

Xie Xi’s heart was warm. “Yes.”

Jiang Xie led him to a space with nobody and opened the backpack under the green pines.

He took out a mat and laid out two, three, four…

Xie Xi’s eyes were big. “So much.”

“It’s nothing.” Then Jiang Xie pulled out two more dishes.

Xie Xi didn’t know if he should laugh or cry when he saw the seven or eight insulation boxes. Taurus was trying too hard to make him eat.

The even more surprising thing was that the insulation boxes contained hot rice porridge, exquisite dumplings and salty duck eggs cut into pieces…

The things he wanted to eat had been fully prepared by Jiang Xie. What was this called? A heart connection?

Xie Xi couldn’t help laughing.

The two people washed their hands with warm water from the thermos pot and Jiang Xie said, “Eat.”

Xie Xi picked up a small dumpling and the delicious taste of crab filled his mouth.

He had never eaten such delicious crab dumpling. It was as if his heart was filled.
