"It didn't take long, maybe half an hour." Lu Qi took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat distressedly.
Rong Shu blinked, "Half an hour? I thought you guys arrived very early."
"Um..." Lu Qi smiled awkwardly, "I was able to reach the top of the mountain a long time ago. It was all Fu Jinglin's fault. He ran the wrong way, so..."
"It's my fault no matter what. You obviously couldn't outrun me and tricked me and pointed me to the wrong way." Fu Jinglin came over and heard Lu Qi saying bad things about him, and retorted angrily.
Lu Qi snorted proudly, "Even if I deliberately tricked you and pointed you to the wrong path, you still left. How stupid are you?"
"You..." Fu Jinglin clenched his fists angrily.
Rong Shu held her forehead and said, "That's enough, you two. Stop arguing. It makes me have a headache."
"Then baby, let me massage it for you. It won't hurt anymore." Lu Qi said, walked behind her and massaged her temples.
When Fu Jinglin saw this, he whispered, "Flattery."
Lu Qi heard this and replied in a low voice: "Some people can't be considered flatterers."
Seeing that the two children, an older one and a younger one, were still fighting, Rong Shu's mouth twitched silently, "You are arguing, please go away and let me be quiet."
"No more quarrel, no more quarrel, baby." Lu Qi quickly reassured her.
Fu Jinglin also nodded, indicating that there would be no more quarrel.
The two of them did what they said and became quiet.
Rong Shu's whole body became peaceful.
But not long after, Fu Jingting suddenly thought of something, looked down the mountain and asked: "By the way, Sister Rong Shu, where is my eldest brother?"
"It's in the back." Rong Shu replied casually.
Lu Qi scoffed, "A grown man can't even win against two women. It's really useless that he hasn't come up after so long."
"You're talking nonsense. It's not my eldest brother's fault. It must be Gu Manyin. She must be holding my eldest brother back." Fu Jinglin angrily explained to Fu Jingting.
Rong Shu raised her eyebrows.
I have to say, in a sense, this guy is really right.
Fu Jingting hasn't come up yet, and it is indeed Gu Manyin who is holding him back.
As expected, Fu Jinglin's words were soon confirmed.
Fu Jingting finally reached the top of the mountain with Gu Manyin on his back.
He put Gu Manyin down and was supported by Fu Jinglin to sit on the stone beside him. He closed his eyes slightly to adjust to his fatigue.
After all, carrying a person weighing 80 to 90 pounds to climb a mountain is a very physically demanding task.
Even though he had been exercising all year round, he was still very tired now and sat there panting slightly.
Fu Jinglin stood next to him, fanning him, wiping his sweat and giving him water.
"Jing Ting, are you okay?" Gu Manyin walked over and asked with concern.
Fu Jingting opened his eyes and was about to answer.
Fu Jinglin stood in front of him and glared at Gu Manyin angrily, "Do you think my elder brother is okay?"
"I..." Gu Manyin was frightened by the ferocity in his eyes and took a step back.
Fu Jinglin said again: "What am I? Don't you have long legs? You have to carry me on your back. You don't know how to walk on your own."
Gu Manyin's eyes turned red because of the violence, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Fu Jinglin was annoyed when he saw her like this and wanted to speak again.
Fu Jingting interrupted him, "Okay, stop talking. I have to bear it myself. It's none of Manyin's business, so get out of my way."
"Brother?" Fu Jinglin looked back at him, his face very dissatisfied, "I was fighting for you, but you actually asked me to get out of the way?"
"Give it or not?" Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes.
Fu Jinglin moved his mouth, and finally gave Gu Manyin a fierce look before letting him go.
"Jingting..." Gu Manyin finally saw Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting handed her a tissue and said, "Stop crying."
"Yeah." Gu Manyin nodded aggrievedly.
At this time, Rong Shu and four others who were collecting firewood and stones came back.
Seeing Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin, Cheng Huai put down a few small stones in his hand and smiled playfully, "Hey Jingting, you finally came up. It's not easy."
Fu Jingting glanced at him lightly, ignored him, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
But before taking it back, he looked at Rong Shu for two seconds as if inadvertently.
Rong Shu was building a stove using the stones Cheng Huailu had picked up, preparing to heat the lunch he had brought.
After all, it's getting late now, and we've climbed the mountain again. Everyone is hungry, so it's time to get ready to eat.
"Okay, is there a lighter?" After setting up the stove, Rong Shu clapped her hands and asked Cheng Huai and Lu Qi.
Lu Qi shook his head, "I don't, I don't smoke, what about you?"
He looked at Cheng Huai.
Cheng Huai touched his pocket, then smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot it."
"I didn't bring it either." Chen Xingnuo and Fu Jinglin also said.
Rong Shu looked at the sky speechlessly, "So no one has brought any, so what should we do with lunch?"
"..." Several people fell silent.
Just when Rong Shu was thinking about whether to send someone to take the cable car down the mountain to get it, Fu Jingting's cold voice came, "I have it."
He took out an expensive-looking metal lighter, stood up, walked to Rong Shu, and handed it to her.
Rong Shu looked at it and hesitated whether to answer it.
Seeing her move, Lu Qi's eyes darkened, and then he stood up and looked at Fu Jingting with a smile, "Mr. Fu, you'd better put the lighter away. We don't dare to take your things. What if?"
If my fiancée is jealous again, aren't we going to suffer again?"
Fu Jingting frowned and looked at Gu Manyin behind him.
Gu Manyin smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you think of me too narrowly. I'm just a lighter. I'm not that petty, even this little jealous."
After saying that, she looked at Rong Shu again, her smile unchanged, "Miss Rong, just take it."
Rong Shu looked back at Gu Manyin steadily for a few seconds, then reached out and took the lighter from Fu Jingting's hand, "Okay, I'll take it then. Thank you Miss Gu and Mr. Fu."
"You're welcome." Gu Manyin replied.
Although Fu Jingting said nothing, his frown relaxed, and he was obviously satisfied with Rong Shu's acceptance of the lighter.
"Baby, are you really holding it?" Lu Qi was a little unhappy.
Rong Shu opened the lid of the lighter and started to light a fire, "Why not, everyone is hungry, filling their stomachs is more important."
"But..." Lu Qi wanted to say something else.
Rong Shu told him, "Go and get the lunch box quickly."
"Oh." Lu Qi obediently went to get the lunch box.
The food is heated quickly.
Rong Shu distributed them to everyone one by one, and finally took two boxes and walked towards Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin.
"Here." Rong Shu handed the lunch box to the two of them.
Gu Manyin narrowed her eyes, then asked with a smile, "Miss Rong, what is this..."
Fu Jingting also looked at Rong Shu.
Even Lu Qi and Cheng Huai looked over.
Rong Shu replied calmly: "The reward for the lighter."
"I see, then thank you, Miss Rong." Gu Manyin reached out and took the lunch box.
"Thank you." Fu Jingting also accepted it.
When he picked it up, his fingertips touched Rong Shu's.
Rong Shu flinched her hands and looked at him.
He also happened to look over.
The two looked at each other.
When Gu Manyin next to her saw this scene, her nails dug into her palms.
"Jing Ting, what are you looking at Miss Rong for? Miss Rong is so embarrassed." Gu Manyin tried her best to maintain the smile on her face and said in a soft voice.
However, the soft voice was filled with coldness.
Fu Jingting and Rong Shu came to their senses and shifted their gazes at the same time.
Rong Shu stuffed the lunch box into his hand, turned and left.
Fu Jingting looked at the lunch box in his hand and thought that Rong Shu had heated it himself. He felt inexplicably happy and the corners of his mouth curled up.
