Wang Yue's lips twitched.
Still, he took the hat and put it on.
It had to be said, it was much warmer after putting it on.
"Does such a cute hat suit a handsome guy like you?"
Just then, Liu Ergou walked over, smiling.
"I think it looks pretty good, don't you think?"
Wang Yue replied with a smile.
"It really does look good."
Liu Ergou said with a strange expression.
"Xiao Ru, control your boyfriend."
Qiao Zixuan said to Yang Xiaoru.
So Yang Xiaoru walked forward and grabbed Liu Ergou's ear, "You think you're so capable, put on my mother's hat."
Liu Ergou looked constipated but didn't dare to disobey Yang Xiaoru. He chose to put it on.
The two big men stared at each other.
Only then did Wang Yue realize how funny it was to see a man wear such a cute thing, especially a burly man like Liu Ergou, who looked out of place wearing it.
"Alright, I know you want to laugh, go ahead and laugh, then we're even."
Liu Ergou said, devoid of life.
"Let's go."
Wang Yue didn't laugh; he held back.
They soon reached the place where they had to choose between the long and short routes. Walking left was the long route, and walking right was the short route.
The long route took more time and had very beautiful scenery, while the short route took less time and also had nice scenery, suitable for those with less stamina.
For first-time visitors to Daocheng, most wanted to challenge the long route. Luorong Pasture, Milk Sea, and Five-Color Sea were all famous scenic spots in Yading, Daocheng.
"We're taking the long route, you guys aren't going to choose the short one, are you?"
Liu Ergou asked.
"Would we let you outshine us?"
Wang Yue said.
And so, both teams chose the long route.
At first, Liu Ergou had good stamina, but as they went on, he was drenched in sweat and gasping for air.
"You... you can't hold on anymore, can we stop and get some oxygen?"
Liu Ergou said, looking disheveled.
Wang Yue strolled along, showing no signs of fatigue. He nodded and said, "Whatever you want."
Liu Ergou quickly found a spot to sit down and grabbed an oxygen bottle, inhaling deeply.
Meanwhile, Qiao Zixuan and Yang Xiaoru also slowly made their way up. Although both women were tired, they weren't as bad as Liu Ergou.
In fact, it wasn't that Liu Ergou was weak.
On the contrary, Liu Ergou was exceptionally strong, but the stronger a person was, the more susceptible they were to altitude sickness in high-altitude areas because they consumed more oxygen.
"Big Yue Yue, aren't you tired at all?"
Qiao Zixuan said, looking at Wang Yue.
She felt a slight dizziness, a mild form of altitude sickness.
"Not tired."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
He truly felt nothing, as if walking on flat ground, and could even run and jump. This would be considered reckless behavior at high altitudes.
But Wang Yue felt he could do it with ease.
"Okay, I'm so tired."
Qiao Zixuan said enviously.
"Come up, I'll carry you."
Wang Yue bent down and smiled.
"Ah? Really?"
Qiao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a hint of excitement.
"It's absolutely no problem, alright."
Wang Yue said.
"Then I'm coming up."
Qiao Zixuan hopped onto Wang Yue's back.
The first sensation was of his broad and strong shoulders.
Wang Yue carried Qiao Zixuan and walked forward with ease, not forgetting to turn his head and say to Liu Ergou, "Hurry up and catch up when you've rested enough, we're going ahead."
Liu Ergou's mouth hung open.
What the heck?
Was the gap between people really this big?
He was so tired he was about to faint, and this guy could still carry his girlfriend up the mountain.
"Ergou."
Just then, Yang Xiaoru called out.
Liu Ergou looked at Yang Xiaoru and trembled. He clearly saw a longing in her eyes!
Don't do this, I'm struggling to climb the mountain myself, and you want me to carry you? This is practically asking for my life!
So Liu Ergou stammered, "How about... we go?"
"Carry me."
Yang Xiaoru pouted.
Liu Ergou said with a bitter face, "My lady, please don't do this to me. Look how tired I am, if I carry you, I might just kick the bucket right here."
"Hmph, alright."
Yang Xiaoru snorted, but she was considerate of Liu Ergou.
She was just envious that Qiao Zixuan could be carried, but since her boyfriend genuinely couldn't, she wouldn't force him.
"Aren't you tired?"
On the other side, Qiao Zixuan asked with a smile on Wang Yue's back.
"Not tired, you're too light."
Wang Yue said.
"Really?"
Qiao Zixuan asked happily.
Girls loved being praised for being thin, especially by someone they liked.
After walking up for a while, they had to take a sightseeing bus, which could save them five kilometers. Generally, people would choose to take it.
Wang Yue and his group waited for a while. Liu Ergou and Yang Xiaoru arrived, panting heavily.
"Are you a monster?"
Liu Ergou looked at Wang Yue in shock.
This guy was still breathing evenly, and he had carried someone that far!
What kind of stamina was this?
"Why are you cursing?"
Wang Yue asked with a smile.
"Seriously, a monster. Anyway, I can't compare."
Liu Ergou sighed and said.
Then, the group boarded the sightseeing bus.
...
Luorong Pasture.
One of the most famous attractions in Yading, Daocheng. Upon arrival, everyone started taking pictures.
The scenery here had a natural filter, so much so that no editing was needed. As long as you took a good shot, a raw photo would suffice.
While the group was engrossed in taking photos.
In a corner.
A pair of venomous eyes were watching everything.
He was heavily disguised, wearing sunglasses, so even his own mother might not recognize him.
This person was Wang Rongxiao.
He had been investigated for a day and was finally cleared of suspicion, then released.
After being released, he immediately took a taxi to Daocheng.
He wanted revenge!
If it weren't for Wang Yue slandering him, why would he have been sent to the police station?
Now, not only had he failed to catch that rich woman, but the embarrassing incident had also become known to people in his company. He was truly miserable.
"I must get that rich woman, so you know the consequences of offending me."
Wang Rongxiao thought sinisterly.
...
At the entrance of Yading Scenic Area, Daocheng.
Li Tianci had arrived.
He was accompanied by several burly bodyguards.
Although he had asked Tian Yi for help, he wouldn't put all his hopes on him.
He had a backup plan.
His first plan was to personally come and apologize to Wang Yue, begging for his forgiveness. If he could truly get Wang Yue's forgiveness, that would be the best outcome.
If he couldn't get forgiveness, he would resort to his second plan: having Tian Yi trick Wang Yue into providing medical treatment.
However, the second plan wasn't foolproof and had various loopholes.
Therefore, Li Tianci still intended to prioritize his first plan.
