Chapter 360 Attracting bees and butterflies
"Of course I'll go. If he doesn't go, who's going to move all this stuff? You're not going, are you or me?"
Yang Miao chuckled and stuck out his tongue.
Fang Li smiled and ruffled Yang Miao's hair: "Just relax and have fun this time. You've been studying for so long, it's time to relax. I specially asked Aunt Rong to bring you a lot of your favorite foods, like potato chips, jelly, chocolate, and even spicy strips that your uncle strictly forbids you from eating..."
Spicy strips!
Yang Miao's eyes lit up, and she secretly gave a "V" sign.
"Auntie, you're so kind!"
Just then, Han Xi came out of the house carrying an insulated box.
He glanced at the two people whispering furtively to each other and suddenly said, "The spicy strips are confiscated."
"what?!"
Han Xi put down his things and turned to look at her: "Didn't you look in the mirror this morning?"
"I......."
"You spent so much effort getting rid of those pimples on your face, and now you want them to spread everywhere again, don't you?"
"What can I do? This is the age when pimples are common. I can't just cut off all contact with my favorite spicy snacks because of two pimples!"
Han Xi stared at her silently, making Yang Miao's back tingle with unease.
"If you want some, call your mom. If she agrees, you can have it."
Yang Miao immediately wilted, tugging at Fang Li's sleeve and swaying, "Auntie..."
Fang Li suppressed a laugh and whispered in Han Xi's ear, "It's not easy to relax, so eating a little won't hurt. I hid a packet in the lining of her backpack, so don't find out."
Han Xi raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman's clear face, and helplessly squeezed her fingertips: "Just keep spoiling her."
Without anyone else by their side, the three of them finally set off around eight o'clock.
Han Xi drove, with Fang Li and Yang Miao in the passenger seat. It was the first time the CEO had ever felt like a driver.
Throughout the journey, the two people in the back seat kept whispering to each other, from campus gossip to celebrity idols, and from their romantic experiences to beauty products and clothes.
Han Xi occasionally looked helpless, but he didn't disturb her and just listened quietly.
The early autumn sky was bright and mild.
With the car window half-open, the car gradually drove away from the hustle and bustle of the city, onto the suburban road, where the autumn wind carried the fragrance of grass and trees into the car.
More than an hour later, the outline of the mountain could finally be seen in the distance.
Yang Miao leaned against the window, excitedly pointing to the distant mountains ablaze with autumn colors: "Auntie, look! The maple leaves are all red!"
Han Xi, with one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the person who said this.
Fang Li opened the window and looked out. In the distance, the massive mountain range stretched out in layers, like an overturned palette, with all sorts of colors converging, making it unbelievably beautiful.
In Fang Li's memory, the mountains in the north had always been vast and magnificent. She never imagined that the mountains in the north could have such a beautiful and eye-catching scene.
"It looks even better than last year!"
With a sigh, Yang Miao picked up the camera around his neck and started snapping away.
Soon, the car drove to the foot of the mountain.
They happened to pass a maple forest ahead, and Han Xi turned the steering wheel to find a place to stop.
"You can get off the bus and take a couple of pictures."
Yang Miao's eyes lit up when he heard that.
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, she excitedly jumped out.
"Auntie! Auntie, come quick, I'll take a couple of pictures of you!"
Fang Li and Han Xi also got out of the car, and Yang Miao looked for an angle to look at them.
After taking several pictures of them, I then used the camera to photograph the scenery behind them.
Fang Li turned her head and glanced at the man standing next to her, dressed in a black windbreaker, and couldn't help but take out her phone and point it at him.
In the shot, the red leaves are as brilliant as a fiery sunset, while in the corner of the frame, Han Xi's figure standing sideways under a tree is blurred into a gentle background.
Fang Li gently tapped the screen, and the image was captured.
Han Xi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
-
"Auntie, do you like hiking?"
Before ten o'clock, the morning mist in the mountains had not yet dissipated, and the stone steps were still covered with dew.
The group parked their car in a parking lot halfway up the mountain and began climbing with the necessary equipment.
Fang Li led Yang Miao by the hand, both wearing sun hats and baseball caps respectively. They stopped every now and then to take pictures, looking just like two college students on a trip.
Han Xi, the president of the prestigious Han Group, was carrying a backpack stuffed with snacks, a water bottle, and a picnic mat, and in his hand were maple leaf specimens and souvenirs that Yang Miao insisted on buying along the way, making him look like a mobile luggage rack.
"Do you need me to help you get some?"
Fang Li turned around, looking at the man with a hint of heartache, "Give me what you're holding."
As soon as she reached out her hand, Yang Miao grabbed it back from beside her.
"Oh, Auntie, my uncle is such a big man, it's alright that he's carrying so little stuff."
As Yang Miao spoke, she pulled Fang Li along and continued walking uphill, "You have no idea, when he was young, his grandfather threw him into the army. Any training exercise he carried was heavier than this. This is nothing."
Fang Li was surprised. The military? Field training?
So, he really had been to the military, which explains why he knew Yu Tian.
As the two figures ahead walked further and further away, Han Xi quickened his pace with a blank expression, the sleeves of his black windbreaker slightly rolled up, revealing his well-defined forearms.
Carrying his things, you could feel a captivating power emanating from him.
Because it was the weekend, there were quite a few people climbing Jinshan Mountain.
Along the way, people were panting heavily everywhere, but there weren't many men like Han Xi who, despite carrying a heavy load, still walked with a leisurely pace.
"Look at them!"
A young couple; the man, carrying a backpack, was so tired that he squatted down to rest, supporting his knees.
His girlfriend looked at Han Xi with envy, then angrily hit him.
The man was so angry that his face turned black.
Above, several young girls passing by Han Xi were also whispering among themselves, their eyes constantly glancing at Han Xi.
She practically stared at Han Xi as he passed by them, getting further and further away.
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
"Should we chase after them and ask for their contact information?!"
The group looked at each other with bright eyes, as if they had reached some kind of consensus. In their excitement, they didn't care about being tired and started chasing after each other.
"Auntie, do you see that? My uncle is still incredibly charming and attracts all sorts of women even when he's hiking. Don't you feel a little threatened?"
Fang Li smiled faintly, then turned around and glanced back, just in time to meet the man's upward gaze.
"Mr. Han, do you need me to help you with some of your charm?"
Han Xi: "..."
Yang Miao blinked, then suddenly chuckled and raised his camera: "Uncle, look over here! I'm going to take a 'laborer's certificate photo' of you!"
There was a click and the picture was frozen.
Han Xi carried a mountain of luggage on his back, looking utterly helpless.
Fang Li and Yang Miao admired President Han's beautiful photos, chuckling to themselves as they continued climbing.
After climbing for about half an hour, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
The two found a flat spot to sit down. Fang Li unscrewed the water bottle on her body and handed it to Yang Miao, saying, "Have some water first. I'm going to check on your uncle."
Fang Li stood up and turned around to see Han Xi had also come up and was standing behind her unloading luggage.
Seeing the beads of sweat on the man's temples, Fang Li couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She went over and took the things from his hands, saying, "You've worked hard. Your hands are all red from being tied up."
Han Xi raised his hand to look at it, then clenched his fist indifferently. "It's nothing, just a little congestion, it'll be fine in a bit."
"Have some water and rest for a while. Leave the rest to me."
