Su Wan said nothing . She walked with the trekking group using the alias Su Zi .
Everyone took very good care of her . They were particularly concerned about her probably because there were fewer girls .
The mountain range was boundless . Brillant snow covered the mountains in the distance . The air was so clean that it made her feel strange . Since she was used to the smog in B City, she felt a little worried now that she was here .
She was worried about what she would do if she liked this place too much and did not want to go back .
During the journey, she kept hearing members say that many people did not want to leave after coming here or would come again each year . Many people came here on a pilgrimage and would stay for that purpose .
Many people were kneeling all the way to the entrance of the temple .
But Su Wan felt exhausted .
Although she worked out often for health’s sake, it could not compare to trekking like this .
The good thing was that she had pretty good stamina .
The old man behind her told her, “Your stamina is better than it looks . ”
“Thank you, Uncle . I can’t go on any longer . I’m enduring it with all my will . ”
“Hehe, little lady, you have such a good temper . Many of the young ladies these days can’t withstand it . They have particularly bad tempers, especially those as beautiful as you . Little lady, are you married yet?”
“Not yet…”
“Do you have a partner?”
“Not yet either…”
“Dear me, look, this is my son . He’s probably about the same age as you . He’s been working for a few years and still doesn’t have a girlfriend . Worse, he isn’t looking for one despite my nagging . I reckon it’s because he hasn’t met someone as pretty as you . Look and tell me what you think . ”
While speaking, the old man handed Su Wan a photograph .
Su Wan was speechless . She looked at the delicate and pretty boy and smiled dryly . “He’s… quite handsome . ”
She was a little bashful . She had never encountered such an incident, so she genuinely did not know how to deal with it .
Fortunately, the people in front very quickly came to save her from embarrassment .
“Oh no, Old Wu . Why are you introducing her to your son? My son doesn’t have a wife yet too . Come, Little Su, look at mine…”
The two of them started arguing . Feeling even more awkward, Su Wan hastily ran to the front .
Beside her, the native group leader smiled and said to her, “These people can’t resist the urge to bring beautiful women into their families when they see them . But you’re so beautiful . Do you really have no boyfriend?”
“I don’t have one…”
“He’ll be coming here soon . I’ll introduce a handsome guy to you . ”
“Hey, don’t look at me like that . The handsome guy I’ll introduce to you is a handsome guy . He can compare to the top superstars . He’s the most handsome guy we have here, and so many young girls are rushing to marry him . But he’s too solitary and isn’t easy to get along with . He gets along with us men, but his tongue is vicious with women . You’ll see him soon . I think he probably won’t speak so harshly to you . ”
Su Wan smiled . A top superstar?
She had met quite a few .
But it was not enough for a boyfriend to just be handsome .
However, she still could not reject others’ good intentions .
“I’ll thank you in advance . ”
“Of course . I don’t even introduce him to other people . It’s because I think you’re honest and adorable, and… you’re worthy of our Bantu . ”
“His name is Bantu?”
“Yes . He’s here to bring education to underdeveloped areas . All the children really like him . He teaches English particularly well . He was here to trek as well and decided to stay . ”
He was very good at teaching English?
She had met someone very good at teaching English .
They arrived at their destination in no time .
Impossibly tired, Su Wan gulped down water .
The group leader shouted at the people inside .
“Hey, where’s Bantu? I brought him a beauty . ”
“What beauty?” A tanned girl peeked out reluctantly .
“None of your business, Black Chick . ”
“Hmph, it’s my business . You men only know to cause trouble for Bantu . ”
“Ha . Enough . You fancy him, but he doesn’t fancy you . Move aside . ”
“You…”
She could tell that the little girl was quite young . She looked tanned, probably because her skin color was like this, to begin with . She was not bad-looking, just big-sized .
Su Wan smiled as she watched the people inside continue to shout . The young girl then looked at Su Wan .
She looked her up and down before stomping her foot and going in .
“Bantu, you must be careful . Girls who are too beautiful are always disasters . My mother said so . ”
“Bantu, don’t listen to her . Quick, stop tidying up . Come out and look . ”
A tall and sturdy figure walked out .
His honey-colored skin looked especially healthy under the strong UV rays .
After that, he looked over with narrowed eyes .
Su Wan also looked up . When she saw him, she was shocked and immediately covered her mouth with her hands .
“Gu…”
She nearly called out his name, but she immediately stopped herself .
She looked at him, stunned .
Gu Jingyu .
Why?
Was he the Bantu they had been talking about?
After not seeing him for a long time, he had become much healthier . His hair was scattered, and he was dressed in dark ethnic clothes . He looked…
Just as strong as a Khampa man .
But his gentle and sensual eyes still caused her to fall into them with one glance, just like she had back then .
Gu Jingyu… Gu Jingyu…
No one knew where he had gone .
But he had been staying here quietly all along, right?
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Heh . Just as I said, Bantu is very handsome . You’re stunned at the sight of him, right?”
Everyone looked at the two of them teasingly .
Gu Jingyu was first to react . Smiling, he turned around to pat the group leader before removing the gloves on his hands and tossing them aside .
His smile looked especially nice as it showed his teeth .
Su Wan looked at him and merely felt her eyes moisten .
He, on the other hand .
In the blink of an eye, he had already walked to the spot beside her .
Seeing this, the people around them giggled and said, “Enough, enough . Everyone else, move to the side first . ”
The group leader also felt that something could happen between the two of them . He glanced at the two of them suggestively and pulled the tanned girl away .
The tanned girl was reluctant to leave, but someone dragged her off .
Su Wan looked at Gu Jingyu . Even though there was no one around, she still could not say a word after a long, long time .
“Why are you, why are you…”
Why was he here?
But Gu Jingyu first smiled .
“You ran all the way here . What about work?”
“I… I’m taking a break for a month . ”
Gu Jingyu smiled . He glanced behind him and pulled her inside .
“Let’s go . There’s too much sun here . If you get tanned, I think Li Xiao will scold you to death . ”
To celebrities, their skin and their appearance were still very important .
“Yes . He’s such a nag . ” Su Wan’s heart could not calm down after a long time .
The place they entered was a simple room .
She could see some daily necessities placed neatly inside .
There were various photographs of his travels on the wall . The photographs captured his lively manner .
There were textbooks and notebooks densely packed together at the side .
With one glance, she could vividly see what his life was like .
Simple yet fulfilling .
Gu Jingyu said, “Drink a bit of this . You’re probably dead tired from walking all the way here . ”
“I’m not tired . I’m not tired . ” Su Wan looked at him .
Everything seemed unimportant now that she could see him .
At this moment, all she felt was excitement . She did not feel tired at all .
