◎Is it appropriate? ◎

Under Ding Yiye’s persuasion, Chen Zui agreed to go hiking with her in the back mountain.

Qiao Sen said, no matter what means are used, don’t let Ding Yi disappear again.

Chen Zui agreed to Ding Yiye's invitation. Firstly, it’s for work, and secondly, it’s to distract myself.

She always thought of that necklace uncontrollably and of Liang Yuwei's handsome face in the evening breeze.

She had been avoiding the feeling of her heart sinking, and she didn't know how to deal with this unplaceable emotion.

After get off work on Friday, Chen Zui went to the mall to buy quick-drying clothes, hiking shoes and hiking poles.

Originally, she just had a work mentality, in order to get the work from Ding Yiye. But when the equipment was piled in front of her, she felt inexplicably excited.

Growing up, she never seemed to take the initiative to seek happiness, and she almost never paid for her hobbies.

Because of the scars on her body, because of the unpleasant rumors, because of the broken home... She was used to hanging her head and spending many days indifferently.

She had always suffered through life, never enjoying it.

The back mountain of Jingjiang has not been developed and has always been a classic route for local hiking enthusiasts.

On Saturday morning, Chen Zui and Ding Yi also met at the foot of Houshan Mountain.

Ding Yi also hugged her when they met and said, "That's right, you need to go out for a walk."

Chen Zui said in a joking tone, "I need your work."

Ding Yi was also stunned and curled his lips: "Why are you speaking in the same tone as Qiao Sen?"

Chen Zui smiled and said, "Okay, we won't talk about work today."

Ding Yi also looked away and said, "I don't know what you have experienced. If If you are willing to tell me one day, I will also be willing to listen. But I always feel that you have no interest in anything and have no expectations for life."

Chen Zui did not refute.

She does.

It's not that I don't have it, I just don't dare to have it. Gradually, that expectation has been calmed down.

"Don't always be so deserted. There are many things worthy of enthusiasm." Ding Yiye said.

Chen Zui smiled and said, "I know, thank you."

Ding Yi also smiled: "I'm very happy that you can come today."

Ding Yi also said that there were three other people hiking together today.

About ten minutes later, a man and a woman arrived at the meeting point one after another.

The boy among the two is a photographer. In addition to outdoor equipment, he also carries two cameras on his body, which looks very heavy.

When they appeared, Ding Yi kept hitting Chen Zui with his elbow and whispered in her ear: "The photographer's name is Li Muyang, 28 years old, single."

Chen Zui blinked, seeming to understand that Ding Yi also The intention of calling her out.

"Who else hasn't arrived?" Li Muyang asked.

Ding Yi also looked at his phone and said, "Mr. Wang."

Chen was a little curious. In this kind of hiking club, there are still people with positions in their names?

She couldn't help but ask: "Who is Mr. Wang?"

Ding Yi also replied: "Mr. Wang, he is the owner of a fertilizer factory. He is an old man in the club. He is quite handsome. Unfortunately, he is divorced and has two children."

Chen Zui sketched an image of a middle-aged man in his mind.

A few minutes later, when several other people shouted "Mr. Wang", Chen Zui turned around and was stunned.

Isn't this Liang Yuwei?

He is tall and dressed in professional outdoor attire. He looks neat, fresh and clean, and looks like a big boy.

Liang Yuwei didn't expect to meet Chen Zui in this place.

He was stunned for a second, then quickly adjusted his expression and greeted everyone.

"This is my good friend. Please take care of her today." Ding Yi also took Chen Zui's shoulder and introduced her to everyone.

"Everyone is here, let's go." Liang Yuwei glanced at Chen Zui's face and said calmly.

The road to the back mountain is narrow and steep. It had rained on the mountain the night before, so the road was a little slippery and not easy to walk.

Chen had no hiking experience and lacked exercise. Not long after setting off, her heart rate soared and she could not keep up with the others.

Chen Zui leaned over, holding his knees with his hands and breathing heavily.

Liang Yuwei slowed down and waited for her. Seeing that she was too slow, he simply walked back for a while.

Chen Zui took out a bottle of water from the side of his backpack and took a few gulps.

"Drink slowly." An emotionless voice appeared in my ear.

Chen Zui put down the water bottle and Liang Yuwei stood in front of him.

Liang Yuwei's eyes glanced at her collarbone, which was still empty.

He said: "You don't have the physical strength to take such a difficult route?"

Chen Zui avoided his eyes: "If I said it was for work, would you believe it?"

Liang Yuwei didn't seem to hear her question. As if, he asked her: "Can you still hold on? If not, just go back the same way. There's still time."

Chen Zui felt that he was almost rested, so he passed by him and walked straight forward: "I just came out for a walk."

Liang Yu Wei walked a few steps quickly to catch up with her.

He asked her: "Are you familiar with her, so you dare to follow her into the mountains?"

She said: "It's because of you."

"What if it's not me?"

Seeing that he was a little angry, she changed the subject and asked: " Why did they call you Mr. Wang?"

Liang Yuwei glanced at her and asked, "How did she introduce me to you?"

"You said you were divorced and had two children,"

Liang Yuwei said, "In order to avoid some discomfort. Necessary trouble."

Chen Zui glanced at him and said nothing.

His skin is indeed quite attractive.

Liang Yuwei added: "That friend of yours said that he sells box lunches."

Chen Zui secretly laughed a few times in his heart.

Ding Yi also stopped and waited for Chen Zui.

She took Chen Zui's arm and asked in her ear: "Do you know each other?"

Chen Zui shook his head.

"What did he tell you?"

"He didn't say anything. He just said that this route is difficult."

"Stay away from him. Although he is handsome, it is not easy to be the stepmother of two children."

Ding Yi also pulled her. arms and asked Li Muyang to take a photo for them.

Liang Yuwei passed by them and glanced at Chen Zui.

Chen Zui always felt that there was a cold light in his eyes.

-In

order to take care of Chen Zui, everyone walked around and took a break every short period of time.

At first, Chen could barely keep up.

After noon, the sun became more and more intense, which made her feel nervous. Her legs were so heavy that she could hardly move.

Liang Yuwei turned around and found that Chen Zui's cheeks were red, his nose was covered with sweat, and his hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his face, but she had no time to take care of it.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken you to climb the back mountain for the first time." Ding Yi also let the others go first, and she rested with Chen Zui.

Chen Zui sat down on the spot and gave him a grateful look.

Liang Yuwei walked slowly, looking back from time to time.

The last thing Chen wanted to do was to be the one holding him back. After a short rest, she was ready to get up.

However, she didn't pay attention when she got up, stepped on a ball of mud, and her feet slipped.

Before Chen Zui could realize what was going on, he was already lying crooked on the muddy ground, with stars appearing in front of his eyes, followed by heartbreaking pain.

Ding Yi also exclaimed.

Liang Yuwei dropped the mineral water bottle in his hand and walked quickly from a distance.

He pushed Ding Yiye aside, squatted down, and checked Chen Zui's injury.

Chen Zui sat obediently and let him hold his feet.

Whatever he asked, she answered.

He looked up at her like a ripe peach.

"Don't move." Liang Yuwei said calmly, "My ankle is sprained. I need to apply ice."

Where can I find ice in this barren mountain?

Ding Yi also asked Li Muyang to come over to help, but Liang Yuwei said that there were too many people to do it.

He asked Ding Yi to help with the bag, while he squatted down in front of Chen Zui.

Chen Zi looked at his generous back and asked uneasily: "Do you want to carry me down the mountain?"

The road down the mountain was not easy, and Liang Yuwei would only be more dangerous if he carried her on his back.

"There is a B&B in front."

They have been to Back Mountain several times and are very familiar with the location.

Chen Zhi pressed against Liang Yuwei's hot back, his whole body tensed, as if this would reduce some of the weight.

She was thin, so Liang Yuwei didn't feel heavy, so he turned around and said, "Relax."

"Oh." Chen Xiao reminded him in a low voice, "Be careful and don't slip."

Liang Yuwei nodded slightly. From the corner of her lips, a word rolled out of her throat: "Yeah."

After walking for a while on the mountain road, Liang Yuwei asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Why aren't you wearing a necklace?"

She put away the necklace.

She checked online that night and found that the model he gave her was not among the styles currently on sale in that brand. Unless it's a customized model.

But it happened to be a style she had seen many years ago. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or what.

In the end, she didn't want to think too much and simply put the necklace and its packaging in the wardrobe.

Chen Zui leaned on his shoulder and asked, "Did you only give it to me?"

She originally wanted to ask, since he said he gave it because of a work mistake, he should have given Qiao Sen one as well.

It's just that Liang Yuwei got it wrong.

He was very angry, and said with a slightly mocking tone: "Wholesale, everyone who sees it has their share."

The two of them didn't speak again on the way.

Not long after walking, a small white villa with a courtyard appeared in sight. Hanging on the outside of the house were two large and artistic characters: JIANSHAN.

Li Muyang and another girl traveling with him continued down the mountain, while Ding Yiye and Liang Yuwei accompanied Chen Zui.

When he arrived at the front desk, Liang Yuwei let Chen Zui sit on the sofa in the lobby and went to the front desk alone to complete the formalities.

Ding Yi also followed, and when she heard Liang Yuwei talking about opening three rooms, she quickly said, "Two rooms are enough, we two girls will live in one room."

Liang Yuwei said, "She needs to rest.

Ding Yi also squinted his eyes and asked, "You don't want to sneak into her room while I'm not paying attention, do you?"

The B&B owner couldn't hold it back and chuckled .

-The

first floor is the lobby and restaurant of the B&B, and the rooms are all above the second floor. Liang Yuwei carried Chen Zui to the room silently.

Chen Zui told him that he didn't need to be wary of Ding Yi: "She is a painter that Qiao Sen admires very much."

Liang Yuwei hummed: "Artists have strange brain circuits."

How smart he was, he had already seen through Ding Yi Also a lie.

Chen Zui thought to himself, aren't you the same?

He is also the owner of a fertilizer factory, divorced and has two children. It's a shame he can think of it.

Liang Yuwei looked up at her, as if he knew what she was thinking, smiled, and said nothing.

He asked the B&B owner for an ice pack and helped Chen Zui put ice on his ankle.

Ding Yi also went back to his room and put away his things, then knocked on Chen Zui's door.

Liang Yuwei blocked the door like a doorkeeper and seemed to have no intention of letting her in.

Ding Yi also said: "I'm chatting with her."

Liang Yuwei stood loosely, but his tone was defensive: "She wants to rest."

"She has sprained her feet and knocked her head, so why can't we chat. " Ding Yi also lowered his voice, "If it weren't for me, would you and her have met?"

Even though she was a fool, she had already noticed that they knew each other!

This was not a powerful statement, but Liang Yuwei's eyes darkened.

Ding Yi also took a look inside: "I brought her out, so I have to be responsible for her."

Liang Yuwei crossed his arms on his chest and asked leisurely: "Is this how you are responsible? You let her crawl on the back as soon as she came up . Mountain?"

Ding Yi was also choked up and speechless by Liang Yuwei's questions: "I..."

The room of this B&B was very large, and the two of them were confronting each other at the door, and Chen Zui had no idea inside.

"Don't introduce any more photographers to her." Liang Yuwei said something out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't want to see if it's appropriate." After he finished speaking, he let Ding Yi go in and went to change the ice pack.
