C22 (1/2)

Lu Xiaoan tied up the bag on her back, tied the phone to his backpack and used it as a light source. She stepped lightly on the broken rocks, and slowly climbed up the slope.

After about 30 minutes, he finally saw a faint light on the slope. Although it looked very weak, he should not have been mistaken. It was the light of someone else!

After going over the slope and reaching the solid rock stratum, Lu Xiaoan finally reached the top. Above it were two stone houses. They looked like they belonged to the residents of the mountain.

”Excuse me, is anyone here?”

After Lu Xiaoan shouted a few times, the door opened and a woman walked out. This Italian woman looked to be around forty years old and dressed simply. Lu Xiaoan tried to communicate with him in English, but she didn't understand at all.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoan could only point to the door's location and then point to the muddy clothes on her body. The lady seemed to understand her meaning and quickly opened the door to let her in.

When she entered the room, she found that there were three small rooms inside: one was the kitchen, the other was the woman's room. In the other room sat two old men. Lu Xiaoan followed her into her room, and suddenly discovered that the person lying on the wooden bed was Mo Shu!

Lu Xiaoan excitedly held his hand. Seeing her actions, the middle-aged woman understood that the two of them knew each other, so she quickly poured a cup of hot milk and passed it to her.

That night, Lu Xiaoan did not fall asleep, she just sat on the wooden bed and looked at Mo Shu. In the middle of the night, he suddenly started to talk nonsense, probably because the temperature had risen again. Lu Xiaoan did not disturb the middle-aged woman who was squeezed into a room with the old man. Instead, she found a wooden basin with light footsteps and poured some water over to wipe his body bit by bit.

Lu Xiaoan accompanied him for an entire night. When the sun was about to rise, she finally could not hold on any longer and fell asleep beside him …

When Mo Shu woke up, she found that her arm was being pressed down, and she looked over at the corner of her eyes, only to realize that Lu Xiaoan was sleeping on her arm. This fool, didn't she tell her not to follow him, and that if the rain stopped, she should go down the mountain?

After knowing each other for so long, this seemed to be the first time she was so intimate with him. Mo Shu was reluctant to move. If she could stop the passage of time at this moment, she would be so happy.

After an unknown amount of time, because his arm was a little numb after staying still for a long time, he could do some spasms on his own. Lu Xiaoan suddenly woke up.

Her first reaction was to look towards Mo Shu; he was already awake. The moment she lifted her head, she just so happened to meet his gaze on her.

”Didn't you say that you would be back in five hours!?” Do you know how worried I am? When I picked up your phone on the way here, I thought something had happened to you! ”It was raining so heavily outside, so the road wasn't easy to walk on. You stayed on the mountain alone for so long without getting any news, and your phone fell outside. I really thought …”

Mo Shu struggled to sit up, her right hand revealing a weak smile as she patted her shoulder.

”Have you forgotten what can happen to a man like me? I am the best man in Italy!”

Lu Xiaoan knew that he was just teasing her, but the heaviness in her heart made it so that she couldn't laugh at all. She knew that Mo Shu had done such a dangerous thing for her sake, if he didn't recognize her, she would still be living a happy life of her own.

”Mo Shu, when we return this time, let's not contact each other anymore. I feel that I have always been causing trouble for you and have never brought you anything. I am truly a troublemaker.”

Mo Shu did not think that she would actually think this way, and her face immediately darkened.

”Do you mean to sever all relations with me? You didn't cause me any trouble. On the contrary, I feel that my life is much better now. People always have to meet a lot of people, just like you and me. You don't think you've brought me anything, but I'm actually very happy because of you. ”

It had been more than a year, from the betrayal of his family, to the estrangement of his friends, to the meticulous care amity had shown him when he was pregnant, and Lu Xiaoan now had such a good friend by her side.

After experiencing so much, Lu Xiaoan suddenly felt that she was no longer the same as before. She was no longer a little girl, she had things she had to protect, people she had to protect, responsibilities she had to shoulder, and recognized the people around him.
