On the way, Mu Yun"s two female friends were sizing him up, blaming Mu Yun for keeping it a secret. Secretly, they were amazed at how such a good-looking mixed blood man could appear, and looking carefully at his eyes, they were dark grey, not pure black. When looking at people, their eyes were even deeper.
The group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. Each of them carried their own heavy luggage.
"Let me get it for you." Nangong Yao had a st.u.r.dy physique and could not bear to watch Mu Yun carry such heavy luggage on her shoulders. He took it all for her. Mu Yun only had a light backpack left, so she quickly helped her other two female friends to share some of their belongings.
"Mu Yun, is he your boyfriend? You know him abroad? " The woman called Li Qing was very curious about their relations.h.i.+p.
"No, we just met not too long ago." Mu Yun turned her head to look at Nangong Yao who was following behind her, a complex feeling filling her heart.
She was used to living by herself, and she was still not used to a man suddenly barging in.
Nangong Yao kept following her with his eyes. Seeing her look back at him, his mood instantly turned good. He gave her a brilliant smile. Facing the sunlight, the man"s smile almost made Mu Yun lose her train of thought.
Mu Yun"s heartbeat sped up and she decided not to peek at him anymore.
Nangong Yao"s thin lips curled up into a smile. He felt that after Mu Yun peeked at him, she should be shy.
From an outsider"s point of view, Mu Yun had a cold personality, as if she was someone who could not be held back. However, in Nangong Yao"s eyes, she was just a woman that had yet to be enlightened. As long as he guided her carefully, she would definitely become gentle and charming.
The one leading them was his male friend, Zhang Qian. He turned around and looked at the team behind him, then his gaze stopped on Li Qing.
Li Qing and Mu Yun were two different types of women. One was cold like a lotus, the other was charming and enchanting, and the other was an ordinary woman with an easy-going personality.
Along the way, almost all of them walked on foot. Everyone had pretty good stamina. When they reached the mountainside, the group of people picked a clean big rock and sat down to rest.
Nangong Yao unscrewed a bottle of water and gently handed it to Mu Yun. He even gave her a towel that he had brought with him.
"Thank you!" Mu Yun took it, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and drank the water with her head raised.
"What kind of work does Elder Nan Gong do?" Li Qing raised her head and asked him with a smile.
Mu Yun was about to introduce them when Nangong Yao opened his mouth first, "I"m just a very ordinary employee of a company, working in finance."
"I really can"t tell. Elder Nan Gong has the temperament of a n.o.ble. I thought you were from a rich family." Li Qing could not help but feel somewhat disappointed. When she first met Nangong Yao, she felt that his ident.i.ty was not ordinary. However, when he introduced her to his work, she felt that she had seen wrongly.
"Is that so? I"m not some fuerdai. " Nangong Yao smiled faintly.
Mu Yun rolled her eyes at him. This man"s ability to lie with his eyes open was pretty good.
Nangong Yao saw that Mu Yun suspected that he had the ability to lie. In his heart, he felt helpless. He also did not want to cause trouble.
Zhang Lian took out the snacks he brought and shared them. He then placed the nuts he peeled in front of Li Qing, "Little Qing, eat this. It"s very nutritious."
"Thank you!" Li Qing was secretly happy. Three women acting together, even though they were all schoolmates and friends, there was always that tiny thought in a woman"s heart.
Mu Yun seemed to be indifferent to everything as she ate a piece of biscuit in silence.
He used his tall body and silently helped her block the heat. Mu Yun did not notice any of this, but Li Qing had seen it for herself. She did not expect Nangong Yao to have such a poor job, but he turned out to be a meticulous and considerate man. This kind of man who took even small details into account, was rarely seen in this world.
The group continued their journey. When they were close to the gra.s.sland at the top of the mountain, suddenly, a black cloud floated over from the distant sky.
"Didn"t the weather forecast say there was no rain today? How can there be rain? " Li Qing started to complain.
"It"s all my fault, Little Qing. It"s alright. We brought a tent with us, so we can use it as a shelter from the rain."
Nangong Yao ignored everyone and his gaze fell on Mu Yun. Regardless of the weather, his mood was extremely good.
When they reached the mountain peak, there was indeed a shower of rain. Everyone frantically built two tents, and two more came before the rain hit. Thus, Nangong Yao directly pulled Mu Yun and hid in one of the tents. The other three people could only huddle together.
The tent was small and he could not stand. He could only sit or lie down. Nangong Yao"s body was tall and his hands and feet were long. Although Mu Yun was slim, the two of them squeezed together inside the tent.
The two of them pretended to listen to the sound of the rain, but the moment they touched each other, the atmosphere became a little weird.
"Your hair is wet. Wipe it." Nangong Yao discovered that part of her hair was wet, so he immediately went to find a dry towel for her.
"I"ll look for it myself." Mu Yun"s breathing was ragged. It was the first time in her life that she was trapped in such a narrow s.p.a.ce with a man. The man had a unique aura. Even though he was sweating and climbing the mountain, the smell on his body was not unpleasant.
Mu Yun turned around, about to open her backpack. Suddenly, she felt a strong and robust body sticking to her back. She was so frightened that her whole body froze, unable to move.
"The place is too small, let"s squeeze." Nangong Yao began to use his shameless move.
"Alright!" Could Mu Yun say no? She had to endure it.
But why did a man"s breath become so heavy when he was next to her ear? And it was so hot?
Nangong Yao was enjoying this moment of closeness. He was very grateful to the heavens for helping him. If it were not for this rain, he would not have known when he would be so close to her.
Mu Yun"s mind was blank. She had already forgotten that she still needed to find a towel. She was so tense, hoping that the rain would quickly end and solve her problem.
"Mu Yun, I like you." Nangong Yao suddenly leaned close to her ear and confessed in a low voice, "I"ve been secretly in love with you for a long time, and I"ve always wanted to say this to you. Love is too heavy, I can"t say it out loud, do you understand my heart?"
Mu Yun"s face was red and uncertain. Why did he say such provocative words at this time?
"Every day and every night, I would look for an opportunity to meet you by chance, pretend to meet you by accident, then look at you, say a few words of greetings, I was too greedy, when you didn"t know of my existence, yet in your dreams and in your mind, I talked about all your relations.h.i.+ps." The man"s voice became deeper and deeper, as if he had the power to bewitch people with his words.
Mu Yun"s entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted. She didn"t dare to continue listening.
