After hanging a Tongxin Lock upon the Tongxin cliff, something began to sprout in Daohua and Xiao Yeyang’s hearts, rapidly growing and blooming.
"Let’s go, let’s rest under that tree over there for a while, and take in the beautiful scenery from this mountain peak," he said.
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua to the giant rock under the big tree.
The boulder was rather large, over one meter high, and seeing that Daohua would have trouble climbing onto it, Xiao Yeyang reached out to support her waist. As Daohua stepped back, he chuckled, "I’ll lift you up."
Only then did Daohua stand still and hummed an assent.
Xiao Yeyang placed his hands around Daohua’s waist, finding it both slender and soft. He couldn’t help but squeeze it, and when Daohua glared at him, he gently lifted his arms and placed her onto the boulder.
Once Daohua was comfortably seated, Xiao Yeyang propped his hand and jumped to sit next to her.
The big tree stood at the very end of Tongxin cliff. From this spot, they could take in the entire beautiful scenery beneath the mountain.
Cool and pleasant mountain breezes blew by. Daohua smiled and said, "It’s worth it, climbing all the way up here."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, propped his hands on the stone, and with Daohua’s radiant smile beside him, he felt exceptionally happy.
After a while, Xiao Yeyang slowly scooted closer to Daohua’s side, lifting his right hand from behind, intending to drape it over her shoulder. Just as he was about to touch her, he hesitated, lifting and lowering his hand several times.
"Xiao Yeyang, look, there’s a squirrel on the tree," Daohua suddenly turned her head.
Xiao Yeyang quickly retracted his hand, "Oh, is that so?"
Seeing Daohua giving him a peculiar glance, Xiao Yeyang sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
Ignoring Xiao Yeyang, Daohua craned her neck searching for the fleeting glimpse of the squirrel in the tree, but unfortunately, after looking for quite a while and not seeing anything, she swung her legs and enjoyed the view below the mountain.
Xiao Yeyang lifted his hand again, and just as he was about to touch her, Daohua turned back once more.
"Xiao Yeyang, what’s the matter with you? You’re acting weird," she said.
Xiao Yeyang quickly propped his hand on the rock again, feigning nonchalance, "Me? I’m fine."
Just then, the branches above them rustled.
Xiao Yeyang noticed a squirrel leaping from the tree. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly wrapped his arms around Daohua, "Be careful!"
Watching the squirrel scurry past before her eyes, Daohua chuckled, "It’s just a squirrel." Saying this, she patted the hand Xiao Yeyang had placed on her shoulder, signaling him to move it away.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang pretended not to notice.
