Chapter Forty-Nine: Four Seasons Manor II (2/2)

Yan Jin gave a complicated look at the carefree Xiao Yu, who was watching the show from the front seat. Finally, the chairman let out a long sigh and moved the cage to the car trunk.

“Fishy, will you obediently remain in your seat?” Yan Jin asked.

“Squeakk!” No problem!

Yan Jin thought for a while, but he was still worried. He pulled over the passenger seatbelt and said to Xiao Yu: “You cannot go over the safety belt limits, understand?”

“Squeakk.” Okay, okay~

Xiao Yu pressed his little face onto the passenger seat and confidently raised his paw to promise.

Aiya, the last time I got onto Yan Jin’s Lamborghini was two months ago. The feel of this material sure is as good as before.

Yan Jin took out his phone to check on the road conditions. At last, he gritted his teeth and sat in the driver’s seat.

Chairman Yan who had never doubted his own driving skills in his life, was finally considering hiring a driver because of a hamster.

Xiao Yu was quite obedient at the start. Yan Jin felt slightly comforted seeing how compliant he was. The chairman sped up when he was out of the city limits. Never did Yan Jin expect that Xiao Yu would only be content for that short while. The moment Xiao Yu saw that the human population in the vicinity was decreasing, he started to make a din.

For example, his position changed from the passenger seat to Yan Jin’s thighs.

Yan Jin suppressed his urge to grab the hamster and whack him while the chairman tried to persuade kindly: “Fishy, stop messing around. We’ll be there in a short while.”

“Squeakk.” That’s what you said one hour ago.

“Squeakkk?” Where are we going?

Xiao Yu tugged on Yan Jin’s dress shirt as he attempted to see if he could climb upwards. He was not worried even if he had slid off, Yan Jin would surely catch him anyway.

Yan Jin… reluctantly slowed down and freed one of his hands to entertain Xiao Yu.

The original three to four hours road trip, forcibly became a trip that lasted the entire afternoon. It was near evening when the human and hamster finally reached their destination.

On the contrary, Xiao Yu had endless snacks to munch on. He didn’t care how long the journey took, he was just bored at most. However, Yan Jin had not drunk a single drop of water for the entire trip, and he even had to pay attention to see if Xiao Yu was making any dangerous movements while driving the car safely at the same time. Those factors accumulated and almost completely drained his energy.

When Yan Jin finally got off the car with Xiao Yu in his hands, he sighed in deep relief the moment he slammed the doors shut.

Xiao Yu peeked his little head out from Yan Jin’s hand and looked around. They were surrounded by gratifying maple trees. If they had seen it in the day, the scenery should be quite a view. The pavement was slightly tilted with no stone steps, which probably meant that they were at a small unknown mountain.

Although their country’s mountains all looked the same, Xiao Yu could almost confirm that he had never come to this place before. That was because the mountains that he had climbed before were mostly famous tourist attractions. It was the 10/1 holiday right now; tourists would surely appear regardless of whether or not it was a nameless mountain.

And yet this place, putting aside its scenery, had no third person other than the one human and one hamster.

“Squeak?” Where is this place?

Xiao Yu looked at Yan Jin suspiciously.

Yan Jin lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Xiao Yu’s little head with no verbal response but a smile.

“Squeakk!” Tell me, tell me!

The sky had already darkened as nightfall approached. There was no source of light deep in the mountains. Plus, there was no place for them to stay in the surroundings. To be honest, Xiao Yu felt a little scared.

“Okay, we’re arriving soon. Just wait a little while more and you’ll see the big surprise.”

Surprise? There’s still a big surprise?

Xiao Yu did not dare to believe that there would be any surprises deep in the mountains, but he still chose to obediently tuck himself into Yan Jin’s embrace without moving around.

The temperature was cooling down over the past two days, and the mountains were windy. Normally, Xiao Yu would curl himself into a ball of fur to ward off the cold, but this time, Xiao Yu was wrapped in Yan Jin’s body temperature. He could only feel warm from head to toe without any hint of cold.

The feeling of being carefully wrapped in someone’s arms wasn’t bad, so Xiao Yu felt that it did not matter if the walk was longer than usual.

However, Yan Jin’s long legs may have contributed to his long strides. Yan Jin’s claim that they would reach their destination in a short while turned out to be a true statement.

Whhhhhooshhh–

A strong breeze blew past, sweeping the red leaves up to dance in the air.

As far as the eyes could see, the beautiful color spread itself before them. Pieces of large maple leaves frantically swept into the air as they danced recklessly and arrogantly in the autumn wind. It was as if they would become a blaze that would soar through the sky in the next second.

A charming painting of autumn scenery composed of light and heavy colors.

And yet, in the middle of that scene, there was something that struck a deeper chord and was even more attractive than the maple forest.

Xiao Yu’s mind blanked out. His only remaining thoughts were –

Ah, it really exists…

Four Seasons Manor.
