Chapter 810: How Stupid
“Call me anytime.”
Sheng Bowen nodded and looked at his sports watch. Realizing that it was getting late, he carried his luggage on his back. “It’s almost time for me to set off. I still have to take a detour to pick up Shen Yu.”
Ren Yufei nodded lightly, her hands were already tightly clasped together. “I’ll send you off.”
Sheng Bowen knew that she was worried, so he didn’t say anything. Seeing that she was so fl.u.s.tered that she had even put on the wrong shoes, he pressed her against the door and kissed her pa.s.sionately.
He couldn’t bear to part with her, but there were some things that he had to do.
He couldn’t wait for others to plot against him before regretting it.
Ren Yufei allowed herself to indulge in him, and her teeth were pried open by that soft tongue.
The two kissed pa.s.sionately for a long time before Sheng Bowen let go of her. “Don’t send me off. I’ll just leave.”
With that, he disappeared from the door.
Ren Yufei did not follow him out. She only touched her lips, because Sheng Bowen’s warmth was still lingering on them.
“Be careful while you’re out.” This was Old Master Sheng’s last order.
A moment later, Sheng Bowen’s black SUV disappeared from the Sheng family’s iron gate.
It was eight o’clock in the morning.
Sheng Bowen arrived at the villa, the address provided by Shen Yu before, on time. Shen Yu, who was dressed in light sports equipment, had been waiting at the entrance.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No.” Shen Yu put his backpack in the trunk and sat in the pa.s.senger seat.
“If you haven’t slept enough, you can sleep a little longer. It’s a four-hour journey from here. By the time we reach the foot of the mountain, it’ll already be noon. We’ll have lunch at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. We’ll go up the mountain in the afternoon.”
“Okay, sounds good.”
In other words, the car would stop at the hotel. Shen Yu’s eyes gently glanced at the trunk.
Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao saw the car moving from his laptop. He put it away and took his coat. He then went to pick up Mu Qiqi and set off for Mount Yueying.
However, after picking up Mu Qiqi, she looked at Sheng Xiao’s new chauffeur and was a little puzzled. “Xu Che didn’t go home to visit his family, did he?”
“Don’t be so smart. We’ll talk about this later.” Was all Sheng Xiao said.
Mu Qiqi did not ask further. She looked at his laptop. “How many cameras did you install in Third Brother’s car? There’s not even a blind spot.”
“Don’t talk. Lean against me and sleep for a while. It’ll take a long time.”
“I’m just asking. How many more people did you bring?”
“Four of them went ahead first. There are six more behind.” Sheng Xiao stared at the screen as he answered her very seriously.
Mu Qiqi felt at ease and leaned into his arms. She would need to sleep for a few hours.
..
When Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi set off, Sheng Bowen and Shen Yu were already at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. They had parked the car and had lunch.
The two of them were traveling light and they carried a backpack each. It looked like they were really going to climb the mountain.
“From the looks of it, this isn’t your first time climbing a mountain.” Sheng Bowen looked excited when he saw the professional equipment that Shen Yu brought out. “I’ve really found the right partner.”
“Back when I was overseas, I didn’t have anywhere to vent when I was upset, so I often climbed mountains alone,” Shen Yu explained after putting on his hat.
“I thought there was no case you couldn’t win.”
“It’s precisely because you have to win that you have to put in more effort,” Shen Yu said, with some underlying message in his words. “I’m an orphan, unlike young masters like you who have lived a luxurious life since young. If I didn’t work hard, I wouldn’t have been able to live to this day.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard you talk about yourself.” Sheng Bowen laughed as he walked. “Tell me more. I’m curious. We’re brothers, but I don’t know anything about you.”
“I grew up in an orphanage. Later, I was adopted by an old man. He supported me until I graduated from college. After I became financially independent, I haven’t seen him since.” Shen Yu briefly described his background.
“What about your girlfriend? Didn’t you date?” Sheng Bowen winked at him gossipily.
“I did, but none of them lasted long.”
“Then I shall find a suitable one and keep her for you. You’re my brother after all.” Sheng Bowen stopped and patted Shen Yu on the shoulder. “The scenery on Mount Yueying is very breathtaking. It’s a pity that Yufei can’t come with me. It’s such a beautiful place, yet I have to share it with a man. It feels weird,” Sheng Bowen said as he slightly pushed Shen Yu from behind.
“Hurry up, it’ll take five to six hours to get up there.”
Seeing that he had touched his backpack, Shen Yu subconsciously s.h.i.+fted his shoulder. “If I get serious, I’ll be very fast. You won’t be able to catch up at all.”
Sheng Bowen couldn’t help but laugh. “Then let’s compete…”
He had noticed Shen Yu’s action of protecting his backpack. However, he pretended that he hadn’t.
His backpack was full of clothes and food, as well as some medicine and water. However, what was hidden in Shen Yu’s backpack was definitely a weapon that could be used against him.
But, it didn’t matter because sooner or later, Shen Yu would open his bag in front of him..
The two of them competed with each other and climbed to the top of the mountain. Even the two athletes took four and a half hours. Due to the uncertain weather on the mountain, Sheng Bowen suggested that they find a hotel to stay at first.
“Young ones, don’t go any higher. It’s snowing heavily. Quickly find a place to stay,” the native on the mountain advised the two.
Shen Yu and Sheng Bowen looked at each other and nodded. “Let’s find a lodging house.”
In order not to arouse Shen Yu’s suspicion, Sheng Bowen did not book a hotel in advance. A random place would do just fine.
The two of them found a hostel nearby to stay. Because of the snow, a bonfire was lit in the hostel. Sheng Bowen handed his coat to Shen Yu and smiled. “You said you often climb mountains, but you didn’t know you had to bring an extra coat.”
“The mountains overseas aren’t this high or this cold.”
“Looks like we’ll be staying here tonight. Do you want to drink?” Sheng Bowen sat on the chair and smiled. “In this kind of weather, with a bonfire and a little wine, I’ll be able to sleep very comfortably at night.”
Mhm.
Shen Yu nodded.
No one knew what he was thinking. No, it should be said that at this moment, he actually didn’t know what Sheng Bowen was thinking. Did he really not have any vigilance at all?
The two of them sat together with their own thoughts. After a short while, snow floated in. “It’s so beautiful.”
“Then let’s take in the view a little longer.”
Because once they entered, they wouldn’t be able to see anything..
Sheng Bowen seemed to have read between the lines and smiled. “That’s right, it’ll be a rare opportunity in the future. I wanted to see the sunrise, but it seems like it’s gone now.”
You won’t be able to see the sunrise tomorrow, Shen Yu thought to himself.
How naive… How stupid.
