Chapter 220 A man’s mouth is a liar
These urban hills, which are only a few hundred meters high, are not known for their grandeur or steepness, but rather for their historical and cultural significance, making them convenient for citizens to enjoy outings and picnics.
The three of them quietly went up the mountain from the south gate, trying to avoid the noisy areas.
Our first stop was Nengren Temple. It was a bustling place with people burning incense and praying for blessings on the weekend. It was quite crowded.
They were not Buddhists, so they only looked around and toured the area from the sidelines and did not go any deeper into it.
The main road leading to the hilltop plaza was very gentle, and the three of them walked and stopped along the way, visiting various small attractions.
If you ignore the crowds of people, all you see is greenery, with various tropical plants providing shade and flowers in full bloom.
The higher you go, the more pleasant the climate and the fresher the air.
It took two hours, like a leisurely stroll, to reach the hilltop plaza.
Upon arriving here, they did not stop, but climbed a few more flights of stairs to reach the observation deck.
Yu Huan leaned on the stone railing with both hands, her gaze sweeping over the rolling green hills and forests, taking in the magnificent cityscape of Guangzhou in the distance.
He took a deep breath and exclaimed with delight, "The air in the mountains is really nice."
Sister Ru leaned forward slightly, her gaze sweeping over Lin Yourong in the middle, and looked at Yu Huan, saying, "You two young people in your early twenties, aren't you planning to challenge Moxing Ridge and lock your love at the Locking Love Platform?"
Lin Yourong, who was gazing into the distance, immediately chimed in, "His foot hasn't fully recovered yet."
"Actually, I've almost fully recovered," Yu Huan said with a smile.
Women tend to value rituals, so go and lock your love with your wife!
Lin Yourong slowly said, "Even if it's almost healed, it's not completely healed yet."
Moxingling is the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, with a steep slope, making it relatively difficult to climb.
Given this girl's physical condition, she wasn't making excuses to avoid things.
Yu Huan felt a warm glow in his heart as he sensed his wife's care and concern.
He nodded his chin, without using any glib talk, and simply uttered three words: "Whatever you say."
Lin Yourong smiled slightly: "Besides, what's this about locking up love? We don't need these things."
Yu Huan chuckled upon hearing this and couldn't help but pinch her soft little face: "My wife is right, our love for each other doesn't need any external things to bind it!"
Lin Yourong slapped his mischievous hand away, but upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth turned up, clearly pleased.
Sister Ru suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, I brought a hacksaw to Suoaitai before, and I was sweating profusely from sawing, and my hands were blistered."
Hear this.
Yu Huan's first reaction was to laugh, but her second reaction was to quickly purse her lips and forcefully suppress it.
After all, she's a divorced woman; you can't make fun of that.
After a moment's thought, he joked, "This is where the importance of a handheld cutter comes into play."
"Don't all cutting machines need to be plugged in?" Sister Ru asked in surprise.
When it comes to this, Yu Huan is quite knowledgeable and says confidently, "There are portable rechargeable models, with lithium batteries, palm-sized, and you can buy them online."
"I've learned something." Sister Ru nodded slightly.
The few small bottles of mineral water were already finished along the way.
Yu Huan licked her dry lips, withdrew her hand from the railing, and naturally patted Lin Yourong's round breasts.
Soft and elastic.
I never tire of it.
At the same time, he asked with concern, "Are you thirsty? I'll go to the service center to buy some drinks."
"Well……"
Lin Yourong shrank back slightly.
Being suddenly patted in public by him made me a little embarrassed, but thankfully I had a fisherman's hat and sunglasses to cover my head and face...
She pursed her lips and responded softly:
"I want an iced Coke."
"no problem!"
Yu Huan smiled and turned to look at the kilowatt light bulb:
"Sister Ru, what about you? Would you like a bottle of iced cola too?"
"Although the temperature in Guangzhou is high, my stomach can't handle it. Do you have any small bottles of mineral water? Not big ones, I don't want to carry them around if I can't finish them." As she spoke, Sister Ru stood on tiptoe and stretched her muscles by shaking her head.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yourong turned and walked away, saying:
"Just buy one bottle of Coca-Cola, and we can share it."
"OK!"
Yu Huan turned around and made a gesture.
These two people, one a popular female celebrity and the other a celebrity agent, are truly shrewd and frugal, not extravagant at all.
They are currently on a vast platform, one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Guangzhou. It is named Baiyun Evening View because the lights of Guangzhou can be seen from there from ancient times to the present.
Yu Huan moved with agility and speed, descending the steps one by one.
Once you reach the proper hilltop plaza, you'll see the service center, which is basically just a convenience store, not far to your left.
It was the weekend, and the place was crowded and bustling.
Having lived in Changsha for a long time and experienced the terrifying culture of queuing, Yu Huan can only say that this number of people is completely acceptable.
In less than ten minutes, he was drinking from a bottle of water in each hand.
In this area, Coca-Cola and mineral water are priced the same, both at ten yuan.
Just as Yu Huan was about to step onto the stairs to meet Lin You Rong and the others at the observation deck, she suddenly heard a clear and melodious shout.
"Boss! Boss—"
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Huan paused in her tracks and couldn't help but turn around to look and find the source.
As far as the eye could see, there was a group of youthful and vibrant men and women.
There were about ten people, some of whom were carrying backpacks. Their clothing and demeanor made it easy to tell that they were university students.
A female college student with pigtails, her face full of excitement, walked straight towards Yu Huan through the crowd.
She stopped abruptly in front of Yu Huan and exclaimed, "Boss, it really is you! What a coincidence! Can I take a picture with you?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Yu Huan confirmed that the shouts she had just heard were from her.
After carefully examining Yu Huan, one of the boys exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, it really is Boss Yu! I didn't know Boss Yu was this tall!"
"Isn't our leader working for a provincial media outlet in Hunan?" someone else asked curiously.
"Can't people come to Guangzhou for tourism during holidays?"
"Too……"
The college students started chattering away.
Yu Huan looked at the girl with pigtails that reached her shoulders in front of her.
He only has one mouth, and faced with a cacophony of voices, he first smiled and took the lead, replying, "Of course we can take a photo together."
"Wow!"
Among the group of college students, a girl exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:
"Boss, you're so handsome! I like you so much!"
The loud shouts echoed across the hilltop plaza.
Yu Huan suddenly found herself under the spotlight, and her smile became somewhat formulaic.
A burly guy with a backpack and a thick beard gave the girl a thumbs up and jokingly said, "You're absolutely right!"
Another girl laughed and chimed in, "You're right!"
Hearing them inexplicably turn internet memes into audio clips and start arguing, Yu Huan's face darkened slightly, as if a dark cloud had drifted over her head.
The girl with pigtails pulled her phone out of her pocket, unlocked it, quickly opened the camera, and handed it to the girl who had spoken in an exaggerated tone earlier.
"Nannan, can you take a picture for me?"
The voice just fell.
Several phone cameras were already firmly pointed at Yu Huan's location.
Seeing this, Yu Huan straightened up and stood with his hands behind his back to hide the two bottles of water behind his back in order to maintain his image.
These female college students were exceptionally cheerful and seemed to lack a sense of boundaries.
With a series of camera shutter clicks, Nan Nan hurriedly handed the phone back to the girl with pigtails and braids, and stood impatiently next to Yu Huan:
"It's my turn! It's my turn!"
The male college student with a thick beard eagerly raised his hand and said, "Boss, I'd like to be the third one to take a photo with you!"
"Uh……"
Yu Huan pondered for a moment, then loudly proposed:
"If everyone wants to take a group photo, why don't we take a big group photo together?"
"Ok, Ok!"
The bearded man nodded repeatedly in agreement. Taking advantage of his proximity, he reacted quickly and immediately stood on the other side of Yu Huan.
The other college students, without exception, all rushed forward.
The stairs were right behind them, and everyone quickly adjusted their positions, gathering Yu Huan in the front center amidst a flurry of chatter.
The female college student, nicknamed Nan Nan, caught a young boy wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The older sister sweetly begged him to help take a group photo.
The middle-aged woman leading the boy readily agreed on his behalf, and the boy could only nod somewhat shyly.
The group taking photos was particularly eye-catching in the square, attracting many passersby to stop and take a look.
"Come on everyone! Listen to my command, 1, 2, 3, cheese!"
The bearded man had a deep, powerful voice.
Just then, two young women in the crowd, who had been staring at Yu Huan, whispered among themselves, took out their phones to compare his appearance, and then quickly approached him. "It really is that leader from the Jiangnan Morning Post!" one of the women exclaimed in surprise.
Before long, the group of college students finished taking a group photo, and most of them scattered like birds and beasts, eagerly heading to the kid's place to check the photo results.
Two young women who arrived later approached with smiles on their faces: "Brother, can we take a picture with you?"
“Of course.” Yu Huan nodded with a smile.
Instead of rushing to retrieve her phone, Nan Nan rubbed her hands together and looked excitedly at Yu Huan's profile: "Boss, can I take a picture with you alone?"
"No problem," Yu Huan readily agreed.
As more and more tourists gathered around, including increasingly young faces, they began to shout terms like "leader brother."
Yu Huan couldn't help but secretly think of a way to escape.
"Sisters, can I take a picture with you first?" Nan Nan said with a smile to the two young women.
"First come, first served, you go first."
Nan Nan saw them nodding in unison, turned her head away, only to find that the little boy had already run away.
The girl with pigtails and braids was holding her phone.
He immediately told her to stop looking and to take a picture of her and her boss first.
A few moments.
With everything ready, Nan Nan giggled, tiptoed, leaned slightly to the side, and pouted, bringing her face close to Yu Huan's.
In a flash, Yu Huan instinctively tried to dodge.
He noticed that she paused about ten centimeters away, just pretending, and didn't actually kiss him.
Just as I was starting to relax a little, someone suddenly shouted, "Hey! Nannan, what's wrong with you? Why are you kissing your boss?"
"What era are we living in? This is a personal greeting!"
Nan Nan clasped her hands together, turned around, and bowed slightly to Yu Huan:
"Arigato, thank you, leader!"
Yu Huan noticed countless phone cameras pointed at her, snapping photos incessantly, a forced yet polite smile on her face.
"You are welcome."
A thought flashed through my mind, and I sensed that something was amiss.
As a journalist, he jokingly added, "If you're going to post the photo online, remember to have the person in the photo say a few words about it; it's just a pose!"
Nan Nan immediately patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, boss! I'll definitely explain the whole story. Besides, it's obvious we didn't actually kiss!"
At this moment, the two young women also came over with great interest.
The woman with dyed brown hair laughed and said, "Boss, it's our turn!"
After taking a group photo with a group of energetic college students, Yu Huan's initial excitement gradually wore off.
It felt like I was being controlled here.
Even the elderly people who clearly knew nothing about him probably thought he was some kind of celebrity and eagerly asked to take photos with him...
Sudden.
My cell phone vibrated in my pocket, its ringing almost drowned out by the noise.
After seeing the elderly couple off, Yu Huan hurriedly grabbed two bottles of water with one hand and took out her phone from her pocket with the other to check her phone.
Seeing that the caller ID showed it was his wife, he quickly swiped his thumb across the answer button.
"Hello, wife!" He pressed the receiver tightly to his ear.
Lin Yourong's cool voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Ru and I have already started going down the mountain the way we came."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Yu Huan said as she hurried off, apologizing to the young people walking towards her, "Excuse me, I have something urgent to attend to."
Collapse! Retreat! Sell! Get out!
Although Lin Yourong had already hung up the phone, Yu Huan held the phone to her ear, pretending to be very busy.
They immediately fled.
He deftly slipped through the sparse crowd.
With his legs moving quickly, he took the form of a whirlwind, and soon he saw the backs of Lin Yourong and Sister Ru.
Yu Huan glanced back briefly to make sure no one was acting crazy, then followed relentlessly, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He then slowed his pace and cautiously checked again to make sure no one was following him.
Seeing Lin Yourong looking back at him from time to time, they slowed down and waited for him to join them.
Yu Huan hurriedly walked to Lin Yourong's side, slightly out of breath, and handed the bottled water to Sister Ru on the other side, passing it over to her: "We only have large bottles of mineral water."
Sister Ru took the bottle of mineral water, and as she unscrewed the cap, she gave a mischievous smile: "Thank you, internet celebrity leader!"
"You're welcome."
Yu Huan easily unscrewed the slightly chilled cola, holding the cap in her left hand and handing it to Lin Yourong with her right:
"Wife, you go first!"
Lin Yourong turned to the side to take it, took a small sip, and suddenly said with a half-smile, "You're so popular now, so many people know you, you can't even take a picture with everyone!"
"Hey~"
Yu Huan waved her hand casually, her face showing an indifferent expression.
Compared to my wife, I'm nothing.
Lin Yourong gave a soft snort, took another small sip of cola, and then shoved the cola into Yu Huan's hand, almost spilling it.
She said, enunciating each word clearly: "Oh, and there are also female college students who actively throw themselves into your arms!"
"Clam?"
Yu Huan was completely bewildered.
When did female college students start throwing themselves at him?
His throat was parched and burning, like a dried-up riverbed desperately needing rain.
But now, facing his wife who seems a little angry, he has no appetite for Coke at all.
Lin Yourong suddenly pulled out a small pack of tissues from her pocket, deftly pulled out a tissue, and unfolded it.
Then, turning to the side, he paced back and forth while vigorously rubbing Yu Huan's right cheek.
The movements were so vigorous, it looked like someone was scrubbing a steel wool pad.
When Sister Ru saw her angry expression, she couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly covered her mouth, afraid that she would burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Yu Huan knew perfectly well that he had been caught off guard by the female college student's kiss on the cheek, and his wife had caught him red-handed.
To prevent a small matter from escalating into a big one, we need to quickly explain the whole story to this jealous person.
He quickly put the cap back on the Coke bottle, turned his head to avoid Lin Yourong's face-washing attack, and cried out in protest:
"What are you talking about? I wasn't kissed! That girl just struck a pose for a photo when I wasn't looking! If she had really tried to kiss me, I would have dodged in the blink of an eye! In this life, I will never let any other woman kiss my cheek except my wife and my mother!"
"Really?" Lin Yourong paused slightly. "You really didn't kiss him?"
"I don't know which direction you saw it from, but it's definitely an angle issue. Even kissing scenes can use camera tricks!" Yu Huan explained eagerly.
"Humph!"
Lin Yourong slapped the tissue onto Yu Huan's left palm, then snatched the cola from his right hand and unscrewed the cap again.
"A man's words are deceitful, but I'll believe you for now."
"I'm more wronged than Dou E!" Yu Huan sighed, crumpled up a tissue and stuffed it into his pocket, solemnly promising, "Next time a woman asks me for a photo, I'll definitely keep my distance!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong's pink lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but smile.
She took a few sips of her cola and nodded, feigning seriousness: "You're quite sensible."
Say it.
She handed the bottle and cap to Yu Huan's left and right hands respectively.
Yu Huan gripped the slightly cool bottle, eagerly brought the cola to her lips, and tilted her head back to drink it in large gulps.
Thousands of bubbles burst in the mouth, and the cold liquid went down, instantly relieving the dryness in the throat.
Yu Huan drank half a bottle of cola in one go, then lowered her head to catch her breath.
Suddenly everything went black, and he was about to tilt his head to dodge—
"do not move!"
Lin Yourong quickly clipped her sunglasses onto the bridge of his nose.
Yu Huan realized that his wife was putting sunglasses on him, so he quickly turned around.
Sister Ru was silently watching the couple bicker when she saw this and quickly took off her sunglasses and handed them to Lin Yourong.
"Susu, you can wear mine."
"it is good."
Lin Yourong took the sunglasses and put them on.
Upon hearing her command, Yu Huan froze, her right hand gripping the cola bottle halting in front of her abdomen, while her feet continued to move mechanically.
It looks very funny.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Yourong lowered her head slightly, took off her fisherman's hat, and adjusted the tightness of it.
Then, he tiptoed and stepped over Yu Huan's head, making slight adjustments.
"Oh dear! There are so many people on the street!"
Sister Ru hurriedly took off her baseball cap, ignoring her messy hair, and put it directly on Lin Yourong's head, pulling down the brim.
Lin Yourong landed on her heels and then loosened her grip on the brim of her baseball cap.
He said half-jokingly, "That's because there are so many people! That way, our leader won't be recognized and kissed or hugged anymore."
