Little Sweetheart

Zheng Peipei watched Xia Zhijun leave with Gu Siyi in his arms, feeling like her husband had been stolen…

But she couldn't beat Xia Zhijun and couldn't get him back, so she could only watch resentfully.

Lu Jiaye looked at Zheng Peipei with a schadenfreude smile, "Your Brother Yi? He is Xia Shen's sweetheart."

Zheng Peipei glared at him, "I don't even want to talk to you!"

Amidst their bickering, a new day of mountain climbing began.

Originally, after last night's rest, today was another day full of energy, and they could climb another hundred thousand miles.

Unexpectedly, the fatigue from mountain climbing was cumulative, and after walking for a while, the tiredness from last night came back.

Zheng Peipei and Lu Jiaye started to suffer after climbing for more than ten minutes, their voices rising and falling like a comedy duo.

Zheng Peipei: "I still feel like I haven't woken up… My body is about to fall apart…"

Lu Jiaye: "I told you we should have ordered medicinal liquor last night, or at least some plasters. This soreness…"

Zheng Peipei: "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing, why am I in so much pain…"

Lu Jiaye: "From now on, I will be in charge of planning our trips. Don't ever listen to Zhou Xiao again. He's just a narcissist… ah…"

Zhou Xiao said calmly from the front, "This is challenging ourselves."

Lu Jiaye wailed, "Challenge my ass! This is self-mutilation, traveling thousands of miles to Mount Emei to torture ourselves!"

Gu Siyi was also tired and sore, and she was cold, but she could persevere. She comforted everyone, "Come on, come on, we can take the cable car up further up. Let's hurry up, there might be a long queue later."

"Oh my god, this mountain road is so steep… I feel like I'm going to fall, it's so scary!" Zheng Peipei said nervously.

Gu Siyi looked back and said quickly, "Be careful, hold on to the railing next to you. Or I'll come over and help you."

Zheng Peipei: "Okay, okay…"

Xia Zhijun stopped and grabbed Gu Siyi's arm, preventing her from going down. He turned to Zhou Xiao and said, "You go and help Zheng Peipei."

He turned to Gu Siyi and said, "I see you're tired too, take care of yourself first."

Gu Siyi: "…"

She was indeed tired, but she felt that she could still hold on, unlike Zheng Peipei who was so annoyed.

After walking a short distance, they arrived at a pavilion for resting. Seeing that everyone was tired, Xia Zhijun stopped for a break.

Xia Zhijun had been holding Gu Siyi's arm to lend her support. When they reached the pavilion and he let go of her hand, he accidentally brushed against the back of her hand, and it felt ice-cold.

He quickly grabbed her hand, as if holding a piece of ice. His heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Because it's cold…

Gu Siyi was about to speak when a gust of cold mountain wind blew, and she shivered uncontrollably.

Xia Zhijun held both of her hands in his palms to warm them up. But it still didn't seem enough, so he let go of her hands and began to unbutton his coat.

Gu Siyi was startled. Was he going to take off his coat and give it to her?

She hurriedly said, "No, no, no need, I have thermal underwear inside, it's warm. You'll catch a cold if you give me your coat."

Xia Zhijun unbuttoned his coat, took a step forward, and embraced her in his arms.

A wave of warmth instantly dispelled all the coldness.

In front of her was his warm chest, and behind her were his strong arms wrapped around her.

So warm, the warmth carried his unique faint fragrance, this feeling was like going from hell to heaven…

Gu Siyi was very shy, but she was even more reluctant to part with this warmth, so she blushed and let him hold her.

"Put your hands up and hug me," Xia Zhijun whispered in her ear, "that way your hands won't be cold."

Gu Siyi couldn't refuse, she blushed and slowly raised her hands, wrapping them around his back.

Her hands were separated from his skin by only a shirt and a thin sweater, but she could almost feel the warmth of his skin, so warm, so hot.

Her ice-cold hands gradually warmed up on his back.

As the two of them hugged each other so openly in the pavilion, the others were dumbfounded, even a little unable to bear to watch.

Lu Jiaye: "In broad daylight, I'm still a pure high school student, how can you show me such mushy stuff…"

Zhou Xiao calmly looked away: "Get used to it."

Zheng Peipei watched and said flatly, "I'm cold too…"

Lu Jiaye immediately unzipped his down jacket and opened his arms to her, saying, "Come on, my arms are open for you~"

Zheng Peipei glared at him.

Lu Jiaye chuckled and said, "You don't want it when I offer it to you, seems like you're not cold enough."

He was actually just teasing Zheng Peipei, his usual way of messing with her. Seeing her annoyed expression, he had achieved his goal. Just as he was about to zip up his jacket, Zheng Peipei took two steps forward, her steps carrying a gust of wind, and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"…" Lu Jiaye froze in place, as still as a wooden chicken.

"Wimp, hug me! I'm really cold!" Zheng Peipei said.

"…" Lu Jiaye slowly raised his hands, zipped up his down jacket, and hugged her back.

He, who was usually a chatterbox, was unusually silent. His cheeks were slightly flushed as he silently held the soft girl in his arms.

…So soft… especially that area…

He savored the feeling carefully, his heart rate soared, and his face grew redder and redder.

This tigress, she's actually so… curvy…

Zheng Peipei was really freezing, and compared to the usually quiet and not-so-touchy Zhou Xiao, she felt less awkward snuggling into the arms of Lu Jiaye, whom she always bickered with.

Zhou Xiao was dumbfounded: "…"

What just happened? Why did they suddenly start hugging each other?

He, the only one left out, walked out of the pavilion and stood alone, looking at the vast scenery outside, leaving the world inside the pavilion to those… brothers who suddenly had girls in their arms.

Gu Siyi nestled in Xia Zhijun's arms, her hands gradually warming up, and the rationality that had been frozen by the cold gradually returned.

Their chests were pressed together, and she couldn't help but think of the bare chest she had seen last night…

Xia Zhijun asked in a low voice beside her ear, "Are you still cold?"

His breath brushed against her earlobe, and her whole body seemed to soften.

Gu Siyi's voice was soft and tender, with a thick nasal tone, "Not cold anymore…"

Embarrassed, she took the lead in leaving his arms and forced a natural smile. "I'm already very warm."

"I'll give you my coat," Xia Zhijun said, about to take off his coat.

"No, no, I'm already warm. You'll definitely catch a cold if you suddenly take off your coat." Gu Siyi tried her best to stop him.

"Let's go, let's continue climbing." He picked up his trekking poles and strode forward.

Xia Zhijun lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled, following behind her.

It's fine if you don't want it, I can hug you again later when we rest…

Seeing that Gu Siyi and Xia Zhijun had set off, Zheng Peipei hurriedly pushed Lu Jiaye away, "I'm not cold anymore, let's go, let's go."

One second Lu Jiaye was still immersed in that wonderful feeling, the next second he was empty-handed, his front was cold and empty.

Looking at Zheng Peipei's rapidly departing figure, he couldn't help but complain with a hint of sadness: "Tsk tsk, what a heartless woman."

The five of them set off again, and this time everyone seemed to be energized, each one climbing forward with all their might.

Xia Zhijun's plan fell through, and before he could offer his warmth again, they reached Leiping, where down jackets were available for rent.

Gu Siyi and Zheng Peipei excitedly went to rent down jackets. Xia Zhijun followed and took off his coat, handing it to Gu Siyi, saying, "You wear my coat, I'll wear this down jacket."

Gu Siyi hurriedly said, "No need…"

Xia Zhijun had already put on a men's down jacket and said, "Many people have worn these rented clothes, don't wear them."

"…" Gu Siyi pursed her lips and put on Xia Zhijun's coat.

It was as if she was surrounded by his scent, and for a moment she blushed.

Zheng Peipei watched from the side, almost dying of envy for Gu Siyi. Just now, she was still excited to see a down jacket, but now she felt disgusted the more she looked at it, and felt like she couldn't wear it anymore. They were both girls, and she was also a delicate little princess!

Her eyes turned to Lu Jiaye, and she said with a smile, "Can you give me your coat? You go wear that rented down jacket."

Lu Jiaye: "…"

How could he, Lu Jiaye, wear that kind of rented clothes that many people had worn and smelled strange! He wouldn't even wear his own clothes more than five times!

"Give it to me." Zheng Peipei looked at him pitifully.

"…" Lu Jiaye involuntarily took off his down jacket and handed it to her.

Damn, I was actually charmed by the tigress's sugar-coated bullets… Forget it, forget it, it's rare for the tigress to act cute, I have to give her some face… The tigress is so curvy, I can't not give her face…

With this complicated and exciting feeling, Lu Jiaye consciously went to get a down jacket for himself.

Zheng Peipei put on Lu Jiaye's coat, zipped it up, and smiled at Lu Jiaye, "Thank you."

Looking at that sweet smile, Lu Jiaye suddenly seemed to understand. The knight guarding the flower bloomed, he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter."

Further up was the cable car station, and they got into the cable car one after another.

After getting off the cable car and stepping onto the Golden Summit, it was the time when the morning sun was slowly rising.

The dark green sky and the earth were connected as one.

In an instant, a gap opened up, and streaks of purple-red clouds surged out, dyeing the few clouds with gold edges.

The purple-red slowly rose, turning into a small arc, a semicircle, then orange-red, golden-red, and finally, with a leap, a full red sun hung in the sky.

They stood on the cliff, watching the sunrise intently.

Standing next to Gu Siyi, Xia Zhijun quietly took her hand while watching the sunrise.

Until the sun rose in the east, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, and thousands of golden rays shone on the earth.

The sea of clouds, snow-capped peaks, and golden temples reflected each other's brilliance. Looking around at the peaks, a sense of grandeur and magnificence arose spontaneously.

Zheng Peipei raised her arms, took a deep breath, and shouted, "I climbed to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, I saw the sunrise, I'm amazing, I'm so happy!"

Gu Siyi smiled and said, "Raising your head to the sunrise, lowering your head to overlook the mountains, it's all worth it!"

Lu Jiaye said excitedly, "Only by standing at the highest point can you see the most beautiful scenery! Congratulations to the mountain climbing team, we've successfully conquered the beauty of Mount Emei!"

After watching the sunrise, Xia Zhijun let go of Gu Siyi's hand and started taking pictures.

After taking some scenic photos, he stepped back a few steps and brought Gu Siyi into the frame. While he was still adjusting the angle, Zheng Peipei very cleverly moved to Gu Siyi's side, made a heart shape with her hands, and said with a grin, "Let me sneak into a photo with you."

Lu Jiaye moved to Zheng Peipei's side, raised his hand above his head to make half a heart shape, and said cutely, "Let me sneak into a photo with you too~"

Zhou Xiao moved to Lu Jiaye's side and said calmly, "Then let's all sneak into a photo together."

Xia Zhijun: "…??"

So they took a group photo, and he was the only one missing, the photographer?

He was still very cooperative and took a group photo of them.

Then he asked Gu Siyi to stand aside and took a solo photo of her.

Zheng Peipei watched Xia, the great photographer, who was sometimes squatting, sometimes standing, changing postures in various ways to take pictures of Gu Siyi, and couldn't help but click her tongue and say, "When he took a group photo of us, he just clicked a few times and it was done. But when he takes pictures of Siyi, he's so professional."

"We don't have a DSLR, but a phone can do the trick. After all, my phone has 40 million pixels. Come on, Lu Jiaye, the great photographer, is online, let me take a picture of you!"

"I'll blame you if it turns out ugly," Zheng Peipei said with a smile.

"I'll let you review it after I'm done, and we'll delete it if you're not satisfied."

"Good." Zheng Peipei snapped her fingers and happily let Lu Jiaye be her personal photographer.

After Xia Zhijun finished taking pictures of Gu Siyi, he gave the camera to Zhou Xiao and said, "Take a group photo of us."

Zhou Xiao: …Can't I just be a quiet passerby?

Zhou Xiao, who was given the important task, could only pick up the camera and take pictures of the "pure siblings" who were flirting with each other.

Xia Zhijun walked to Gu Siyi's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and took a picture.

Gu Siyi suddenly laughed.

Xia Zhijun: "What's wrong?"

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "You look so old-fashioned when you take pictures, like the style of our parents' generation."

Xia Zhijun: …
