Ch. 63 Sweet

Although the Xiaohua Mountain in winter is full of dead leaves, if accompanied by the bright sunshine, it also has a unique scenery.

Jiang Juan brought a camera on purpose. He walked a few steps behind and photographed Xie Jingxian’s back, and then walked in front of Xie Jingxian and turned around to photograph his face.

Seeing Jiang Juan running back and forth, Xie Jingxian only reminded him to slow down and be careful lest he falls.

Trapped in the school all day long and buried in the books, after finally getting time to go out for a walk that too accompanied by a friend, Jiang Juan was in a very good mood, as he smiled and said, “It’s fine.” After speaking, he walked over to Xie Jingxian and said, “Come on, let’s take a photo together and save it for later.”

Jiang Juan held up the camera and took a picture, after looking at the result, he said to Xie Jingxian, “Don’t look at me, look at the camera.”

Xie Jingxian looked at Jiang Juan’s eyes which were as gentle as water, and nodded and turned his eyes to the camera.

So they took another picture.

The sky was too bright, so it was not easy to see the picture on the camera. It was difficult for Jiang Juan to narrow his eyes, so Xie Jingxian put his hands on both sides of the camera to let Jiang Juan see the photo.

Jiang Juan sighed after seeing it, “I have to ask Xiao Bai[1] about photography techniques when I have time.”

Xie Jingxian said, “It’s pretty.”

Jiang Juan glanced at him and said with a smile, “It’s all because of you that it looks good.” If it was anyone else, and he just snapped it casually, it would not have looked good.

Xie Jingxian shook his head and said lightly, “I mean you.”

–Quite good looking.

In the past, Jiang Juan would definitely reply with a stern voice, “Of course, this young master is the most handsome person in the world.” However, at this moment, Jiang Juan didn’t know what had happened to him, as his heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, started beating wildly again.

Jiang Juan opened his mouth, but found that he didn’t know what to say. He was a little anxious, so he could only grab his hair and look around. Finally, he pointed to the top of the mountain and said, “Let’s race, see who reaches first on the top of the mountain, the loser will pay for the food.” After speaking, he immediately rushed past Xie Jingxian.

Xie Jingxian looked at Jiang Jaun’s back, and thinking of his panicked appearance just now, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

On weekends, many people come to Xiaohua mountain for vacation.

Jiang Juan observed and found that most of the people who came to play here were families, with many little radishes dressed in festive clothes, running around with small toys in their hands while giggling happily. Of course, there were also foreigners who come to visit.

There are many people here, making the place very noisy, but it does not make people feel irritated.

Putting the backpacks into the hotel, Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian turned around to roam the mountain.

The last time they came to Xiaohua Mountain, Jiang Juan heard that there was a hot spring hotel on the mountain. When he really got there, he found that there was not only a hotel on the top of the mountain, but was also a amusement park, along with shops full of delicious food.

Jiang Juan and Xie Jingxian both had snacks in their hands, eating while walking, and before they knew it, they came to the amusement park. Jiang Juan took the booklet, bought tickets, queued up, and experienced the exciting rides.

When he got off the big pendulum [2], Jiang Juan’s eyes were brighter than ever.

Xie Jingxian bought two bottles of water, unscrewed them, and handed one to Jiang Juan. Seeing Jiang Juan happily selecting the next thing to do, he couldn’t help smiling and said, “You are acting like a child.”

Jiang Juan glanced at Xie Jingxian, and said something which was quite old-fashioned, “I haven’t played this for many years.”

Xie Jingxian took a sip, “How old are you when you say this?”

Jiang Juan smiled, “Older than you.” He pulled Xie Jingxian and said, “Let’s go, the next one.”

An hour later, Xie Jingxian asked Jiang Juan, who was squatting on the ground, “Are you alright?”

“A little dizzy.” Jiang Juan pressed his forehead, his face was a little pale, and his voice sounded very weak.

Xie Jingxian was both distressed as well as laughing, “Many people even end up vomiting, you are just dizzy, it’s okay.”

Jiang Juan refused to accept it, “Then why are you alright?”

Xie Jingxian smiled and did not answer the question, but pointed to a dessert shop not far away, “Let’s go there to rest for a while.”

Jiang Juan lowered his head, and was led into the store by Xie Jingxian, as he asked him, “What would you like to drink?”

Jiang Juan shook his head, Xie Jingxian let him sit down on the seat, and went to the counter to order something.

It was four o’clock in the afternoon, Xie Jingxian ordered two cups of hot drinks, a cake and a few snacks.

Jiang Juan rested for a while, and then his spirit came back. He was looking at his phone while holding a straw in his mouth.

When they got to the park, it was inconvenient to take pictures with the camera, so Jiang Juan took some with his mobile phone. He picked out a few good ones and sent them to Xie Jingxian.

Xie Jingxian’s mobile phone was on the table, but he did not pick it up. Jiang Juan glanced at it and said, “Why don’t you look at it? The pictures taken by my mobile phone are quite beautiful, better than those taken by the camera.”

“See at night.” Xie Jingxian pushed the cake in front of Jiang Juan, “We’ve been playing for so long, you might be hungry, eat something first.”

Jiang Juan nodded, put the phone aside, picked up a fork and ate a piece. The cake is soft, sweet but not greasy, with the aroma of roses.

Jiang Juan’s eyes lit up, he has always liked sweet things, “This cake is very good.” Noticing Xie Jingxian sitting still, he asked, “Why don’t you eat it?”

Xie Jingxian said, “You can eat, I’m not hungry.”

Jiang Juan glanced at the table, and saw that there was only one piece left. He forked the remaining piece and handed it to Xie Jingxian’s lips, “Try it, it’s quite sweet.”

Xie Jingxian didn’t expect Jiang Juan to do this, and was stunned.

Noticing Xie Jingxian’s expression, Jiang Juan suddenly realized that his behavior was a little too ambiguous, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he saw Xie Jingxian bow slightly, open his lips, and put the cake in his mouth.

Jiang Juan’s was stunned silly, as his eyes fell on Xie Jingxian’s lips without blinking. He watched Xie Jingxian chew, and then his Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed the food.

Xie Jingxian sat back and said, “Sweet.”

Jiang Juan used almost all of his strength to look away from Xie Jingxian’s lips. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw a pair of young lovers at the next table feeding each other. The boy was happily eating the food that the girl was feeding him.

Jiang Juan felt his cheeks burn, and become a little fidgety with his fork, just as he was about to explain what he had just done, he heard a kind voice ask, “Little friends, what is the name of this one that you ordered?”

Jiang Juan looked over and saw an old man in a suit standing in front of him. The old man had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked very kind. It was the Gu Jingzhu he had seen on TV not long ago.

Jiang Juan instantly put the embarrassment in the back of his head, and all he could think about was why Gu Jingzhu appeared here! He thought to himself whether the Gu family had already found out Xie Jingxian’s identity? But looking at Gu Jingzhu’s demeanor, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

When Jiang Juan’s thoughts had flown everywhere, Xie Jingxian had already answered Gu Jingzhu’s question. Gu Jingzhu thanked him with a smile, turned and glanced at the counter, where many people were standing.

Xie Jingxian saw Gu Jingzhu frowning, as if he was embarrassed about this kind of occasion, so he took the initiative to say, “You sit, I’ll buy it for you. Besides cake, what else would you like to drink?”

Gu Jingzhu then asked again, “What are you drinking?”

Xie Jingxian answered him and Gu Jingzhu said, “Same as you.”

Xie Jingxian nodded, informed Jiang Juan, and went to the counter.
