Fu Shaobei's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw her coming out of the bathroom.
"You're so beautiful, like you're eighteen."
He praised without hesitation.
Shen Ning ignored him, but he reached out and held her hand.
She endured it without withdrawing.
"What mountain are you going to climb?" she asked.
There are several famous scenic mountains in Beijing, the most famous of which is Yulong Mountain, which can be called a fairyland on earth and a paradise on earth.
But not everyone can go in there.
Especially since Shen Ning just came down from Yulong Mountain yesterday, she didn't want to go up the mountain again. The feeling of three steps, one police, five steps, one whistle made her very uncomfortable.
"Just follow me."
He took her to climb Elephant Trunk Mountain.
From a distance, the mountain looks like an elephant trunk and is not too steep. You can drive along the winding road to the top of the mountain.
It is said that standing on the top of the mountain, when the weather is clear, you can have a panoramic view of the capital.
But since we have agreed to climb a mountain, of course we cannot drive to the top of the mountain, otherwise we will lose the meaning of climbing.
Fu Shaobei parked the car at the foot of the mountain, then took Shen Ning and walked up the mountain.
After climbing less than half of the mountain road, Shen Ning was panting and sweating profusely.
Fu Shaobei, on the other hand, was calm and composed, not blushing or out of breath, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.
Ahead is a very steep rock wall, pointing upwards at seventy degrees, requiring both hands and feet to climb up.
There was only this road, with a bare cliff on the left and a cliff on the right. Looking down, she saw jagged rocks, which made her hair stand on end.
Shen Ning hesitated.
She said in frustration: "No, I can't climb up."
"Don't say no, just follow me and climb step by step."
"I really can't do it anymore."
Shen Ning shook her head, sweat dripped from the tip of her nose, and her face was as red as a carrot.
Fu Shaobei turned around and looked at her deeply.
"Give me your hand."
He spoke quietly, with a commanding tone.
She subconsciously put her hand in his palm, and he held it tightly.
"Follow me and climb up. Look up, don't look down."
After Fu Shaobei finished speaking, he took her hand and climbed up the stone wall.
There was a soothing power in his voice, which made her feel less nervous and slowly became calmer.
And his palm was big and strong, wrapping her hand tightly.
Halfway through the climb, her palms became sweaty, her hands and feet were sore, and she gave up again.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fu Shaobei seemed to notice it. He held her fingers tightly and at the same time put one hand around her slender waist.
She was almost half-supported and half-carried by him as she climbed up the cliff.
Standing on the top of the cliff, she couldn't believe that she had climbed up.
His voice was deep and powerful, giving her strength and support when she was weak, making her realize that she was also a woman who needed to be protected. When she felt tired and scared, she had such a pair of strong arms by her side. .
Fu Shaobei did not let go of her hand, the two of them intertwined their fingers and held each other tightly.
Shen Ning was in a trance and did not break away.
Climbing to the top of the mountain was nearly an hour later than originally planned.
Neither of them walked very fast on the last stretch of the road.
The sun was already very strong at ten o'clock in the morning. After standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the scenery for a while, Fu Shaobei took her to find a shade to sit down and rest.
The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and both of them were covered in sweat. If they were blown by the mountain wind, the wind chill would most likely enter their bodies.
Fu Shaobei sat outside, blocking most of the mountain wind for her.
