Chapter 1832: An Lan, You Have Beautiful Eyes
For a moment, An Lan was lost in her thoughts looking at it.
Xu Baohan unexpectedly turned and held her gaze. He asked with a faint smile, “What are you looking at?”
An Lan shuddered and forced herself to smile awkwardly. “I am looking at your legs. They are truly straight and full of strength.”
“Is that so?” Xu Baohan raised his brows. “If that is the case, do you like them?”
“…”
An Lan replied unnaturally, “Not too bad.”
Xu Baohan smiled without batting an eyelid. He did not pursue this further and continued to walk.
An Lan watched him walking away. She heaved a sigh of relief. She could now understand what Xu Baohan had went through. Those who walked at the back were indeed being positioned in an awkward situation.
After about ten minutes, both of them arrived at an arbor. There were some farmers selling local specialties and fruits. However, the quality of the fruits was not specially good. In the end, they ordered two bowls of jellied bean curd and found a big rock to sit down and eat.
It was exhausting walking all the way here. After eating a bowl of fresh jellied bean curd, An Lan felt much more comfortable.
When she wiped the corner of her mouth after eating, she inadvertently turned her head and saw Xu Baohan staring at her. The stare was burning.
“What are you looking at?” An Lan felt uncomfortable staring by him. When she saw his face now, she couldn’t help but think of his b.u.t.tocks that she kept looking at along the way.
“Why are you blus.h.i.+ng?” All of a sudden, Xu Baohan asked.
“Ha, it’s too hot, too hot.” An Lan pretended to wipe her forehead. “Can’t you see that I’m sweating?”
Xu Baohan continued to stare at her. A trace of curiosity was flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. “Yes, you are sweating, but I did not notice that your eye makeup was melting. An Lan, your eye makeup is too heavy.”
An Lan was stunned, but she reacted and replied, “I didn’t put on any eye makeup, okay?”
This time, it was Xu Baohan who was stunned. “That’s impossible. Why are your eyelashes so thick without putting on makeup?”
“They’re naturally thick.” An Lan rolled her eyes at him. However, as a girl, she was happy to be complimented for having thick eyelashes even without putting on makeup.
Xu Baohan was still suspicious. He moved closer to take a good look at her. He noticed that there were no traces of drawing on her eyelids. “An Lan, you have very beautiful eyes.”
Unexpectedly, she was being complimented, especially when she was being stared by him from such a close range.
An Lan started to feel warmer all over. It was already very warm, but now she felt even warmer inexplicably.
“Alright, we’ve taken enough rest. It’s time to continue climbing up the mountain.”
She quickly got up and continued climbing the stairs.
However, the higher they went up, the harder it was to climb. At last, she would rest a while before climbing a few more steps, even then, she was out of breath.
She couldn’t remember when Xu Baohan offered his hand to hold her and she did not have much thought of it.
He held her from the above and both of them walked slowly to the mountain top.
Standing at the peak, she could view the mountains below shrouded in a cloud of white fog.
“Wow! It’s breathtaking.” An Lan walked to the cliff edge to enjoy the scenery.
“Hm, today weather is pretty good.” Xu Baohan glanced at their hands which were held together. She didn’t seem to notice it. Their hands were a little sweaty because they held each other too tightly earlier, When holding it in his palm, he felt that her hand was small and soft.
Unlike the other girls, she was very resilient. This was perhaps due to her feminist charm.
“Have you been to Mount Emei?” An Lan asked suddenly. “If the weather is good, Mount Emei would look like an immortal palace when it’s shrouded in clouds. It’s even more captivating than here.”
“I’ve never been there.” Xu Baohan shook his head and stared at her. “I like this place more. Wherever you are, it will become more captivating.”
