Qi Xun's work ended on Friday afternoon.
Before evening, he and Percy drove to the ancient town they wanted to go to. The snow stopped halfway along the way, and a thin layer had accumulated on the ground, like a small white fleece blanket.
Bai Xi went to that ancient town mainly to see the maple leaf forest there. Now it's almost December, the weather is getting colder, the red maple is already the last batch, and it should be almost gone in a while.
So when they arrived at the red maple forest, they found that there were quite a lot of tourists, with long guns and short guns, young girls wearing beautiful long skirts and taking pictures under the trees, and those wearing Han costumes and cos clothes. Better looking or better looking.
Bai Xi and Qi Xun didn't bring anything, only two mobile phones, they were like two passers-by passing by to watch the fun.
But Percy still asked a passerby girl to take a group photo of the two of them.
The girl's eyes darted round them both, and she gave Percy's familiar aunty smile—he often saw it on his little assistant's face.
"You two get closer, handsome, you can look at each other with gentle eyes." The girl instructed them.
Percy looked up at Qi Xun, and Qi Xun was also looking at him.
The surroundings were bustling and noisy.
But Percy couldn't help laughing when he saw Qi Xun, and automatically filtered out the noise.
The remaining pieces of snow fell from the branches, and a few red maples just happened to float down from above their heads.
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a layer of enchantment around them, isolating them from the outside world.
The girl said "Wow" in her heart, thinking to herself, just this atmosphere, just this look, she wouldn't believe it if it wasn't a couple.
She clicked the shutter button with a click.
The photo freezes at the moment when Qi Xun and Percy look at each other.
She jumped over, showed Percy the photo she took, and chatted with Percy, "Did you two just come here to play?"
"Yes, it's not long since I arrived. I just came here to stroll around, and I didn't do any strategy. How about you?"
"I came here to sketch, and I've lived here for half a month. I've been here for most of the fun. The silverware here is very well made, and there is a small museum at the back. If you like to climb mountains, you can climb the long mountain at the back of the town. Liushan, there will be a performance in the square tomorrow, at seven or eight o’clock, you can go and see it.”
Percy listened very carefully, and even took out snacks for this girl, and the two exchanged their travel experience on the spot.
Qi Xun quietly stood in front of the background board.
He had discovered long ago that Percy probably had a face with a kind of intimacy, which always made people want to approach him unconsciously, so no matter where he went, Percy would be very popular.
It's just that Percy seems to be born without that string, or maybe it's because he's all focused on him, and he's always been slow to like the outside world. It's not that he can hardly react, but it's giving others a chance to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Qi Xun's mood was a bit subtle. Seeing that the girl and Percy's heads were getting closer and closer, staring at the girl's eyes became a little cold.
The girl was at the Bai Xi'an Li restaurant, but suddenly felt a chill in her neck, and then she looked up, and found that the handsome man next to him, who was as tall and cool as a model, was looking at her badly.
Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly grabbed Percy's arm, hurriedly released it silently, and moved to the side.
"That's about it for the restaurant. I don't recommend anything else. It's not delicious." She waved to Bai Xi, "I'll go first, see you by fate."
Then she ran away dashingly, and joined the tourists in Maple Leaf Forest in a blink of an eye.
Percy only had time to shout from behind, "Thank you."
He put away the map given by the girl, turned his head and sighed with Qi Xun, "This girl is very nice, and I don't know her name. I was going to ask her for a WeChat."
Qi Xun glanced at him and replied lukewarmly, "Anyway, we can meet you if you have a fate, but forget it if you don't."
Percy thought so too.
This town is so big, maybe we can meet again.
According to the girl's recommendation, they first went to visit several famous scenic spots in the town, and then went back to the hotel after dinner, preparing to climb the mountain the next day.
The hotel was booked in advance by Assistant Yan. It has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the scenery outside the window is very good. You can see the mountains, forests and lakes.
Because they were going to climb the mountain, the two did nothing today, just hugged and slept together, as innocent as two high school students.
After breakfast the next day, they went to climb the mountain.
Before going up the mountain, Percy had great ambitions. After all, this Changliu Mountain looks really not high, and it is not difficult to climb at all.
As a result, he was exhausted and paralyzed halfway through the climb, leaning on the rope, panting, and said to Qi, "Take a break, take a break... I can't do it anymore."
A man can't say he can't.
But you can when climbing mountains.
Percy was so tired that she couldn't care about her face at all. She was lying on the rope like a puppy, but Qi Xun's face was the same as usual. She was carrying a big bag, but she didn't even sweat much. It's like taking a walk outside.
Percy's fragile self-esteem was crushed to scum again.
Qi Xun unscrewed a bottle of water for him and handed it to him, "Your physical strength is too poor. At first glance, you are sitting in the office and not exercising. You were not like this when you were in college. Go back to exercise with me."
Percy groaned, drinking only water and didn't answer.
If he loves fitness, he will be reduced to this now.
He took a few sips of water to slow down, but seeing that there was still a small half of the mountain road, his calf was a little weak, and he even wanted to go home.
While thinking about it, he heard Qi Xun ask him, "Have you rested yet?"
Percy gritted her teeth and straightened up from the rope, "Okay, let's go."
He is completely giving his life to accompany the gentleman, just like the university joined the mountaineering club for Qi Xun. If Qi Xun liked to climb mountains, he would not come.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he saw Qi Xun with his back to him, half squatting down.
"What are you doing?" Percy was puzzled.
"Come up, I'll carry you up," Qi Xun said, "it will be noon when you climb up."
Percy was taken aback and looked around. There seemed to be no one on this mountain road now, but it should not be long before there were more people.
"Let's say goodbye... I'm too embarrassed to be seen." He thought he was still a little ashamed, and he was a boy who was almost 1.8 meters tall.
Qi Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"I'm carrying my own boyfriend, and I don't care about other people's affairs, come up quickly," he said.
Percy couldn't help laughing, and a small dimple appeared on her cheek again.
He obediently lay on Qi Xun's back.
The mountain road is not steep, and Qi Xun carried him very steadily. The two of them walked up step by step. The air in the winter morning was very cold, and every breath was a cloud of white air.
Percy put her chin on Qi Xun's shoulder, remembering that when she was in college, Qi Xun also carried his back.
At that time, he was a junior, and Qi Xun also graduated.
It happened to be the school sports meeting. He accidentally sprained his foot, and Qi Xun came back to visit the teacher and stood on the edge of the playground with the professors.
Liang Song was next to Bai Xi at the time, and he was the one who should send Bai Xi to the infirmary, but he turned his eyes on Qi Xun in the crowd and said loudly, "Senior Qi, help me. I'm busy, we have a project soon, can you send Percy to the infirmary?"
Bai Xi was shocked, and before he could pinch Liang Song, Qi Xun came over.
"Can."
Qi Xun didn't say anything nonsense, and took Bai Xi directly from Liang Song's arms.
He was still in a trance until he lay on Qi Xun's back, grinning in pain and bubbling with happiness.
And Liang Song has long been hiding his power and celebrities, and he doesn't know where to go.
Percy couldn't help laughing again when she thought about it now.
At that time, he would never have thought that one day, he would lie on Qi Xun's back and let him carry himself up the mountain.
Before reaching the top of the mountain, Qi Xun put Bai Xi down.
It was to save Percy the last bit of face, and let him climb the last few steps by himself.
Percy had rested all the way and was now full of energy to wander around.
There is actually nothing special about this top of the mountain, but there is a thousand-year-old tree surrounded by railings. It is also majestic and lush in winter. Many people take pictures in front of the tree. In addition, there are several tea rooms and coffee shops for tourists to rest, and there are some shops selling special products.
Percy went shopping in a silverware store and bought a pair of silver rings. He originally only wanted to buy one, but the master said that it was a couple's ring, not just for sale.
"It's unlucky to sell alone, and lovers can't be separated," the old master said with kindness and kindness, "Why don't you choose another one."
But Percy also liked the design of the carp with beads.
He looked at Qi Xun, who was looking at a pair of canvas paintings at the door, and simply bought both.
But he put one on the middle finger of his right hand and stuffed the other in his pocket, not giving it to Qi Xun.
The symbolic meaning of a ring is still too obvious between lovers, and he didn't want Qi Xun to feel that he was implying something.
