Chapter 177 Princess Hug
Fang Xiuying's face changed before she could stop it.
Then he saw the fear in Ji Xingyun's eyes, and quickly refused: "No, I, this is really inappropriate."
After he finished speaking, seeing Su Qing's puzzled expression, he also realized something and explained: "I was not thoughtful about what happened today. Why don't you and Auntie go up the mountain to rest first, and I will come later."
Fang Xiuying didn't say anything more.
Ji Xingyun was exhausted. Looking at Su Qing and Fang Xiuying, whose faces were not even red, he suddenly felt ashamed.
At first, he just thought that he was a man after all, and he could go up the mountain with Aqing and bring some things for her.
Unexpectedly, Su Qing and her mother were fine, but I was the one who got dragged down.
If I had known this, I should have gone up the mountain alone.
Su Qing frowned. She couldn't bear to abandon her companions halfway.
But Fang Xiuying had a different idea: "Mr. Ji is right, let's go up first. We have wasted too much time here, why not go up and find a place to rest first."
Su Qing was stunned when she heard this. Based on her understanding of Fang Xiuying, it was impossible for Fang Xiuying to say such a thing.
Fang Xiuying didn't explain, but urged Su Qing and herself to go up the mountain.
Ji Xingyun looked at Su Qing, with a hint of smile in his tired eyes: "Go, I'm fine."
Su Qing still wanted to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiuying directly pulled her a few steps away and whispered, "Xiao Ji is such a proud person, he may not want you to see him in such an embarrassing state."
Su Qing opened her mouth and saw the nervousness in Ji Xingyun's eyes. She thought, maybe her mother was right.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful, don't be anxious, walk slowly, we will wait for you at the top of the mountain."
Ji Xingyun nodded: "Well, okay, I will catch up as soon as possible."
After the two parted, Su Qing and Fang Xiuying strode up the mountain and soon disappeared.
Ji Xingyun withdrew his gaze and began his slow journey up the mountain.
He was not walking fast, he was stopping and starting, much slower than at the beginning.
When he had walked another quarter of the way, Su Qing and the others had already reached the top of the mountain.
The scenery on the mountain is completely different from that at the foot of the mountain. I feel a lot more open-minded amidst the clouds and mist.
No wonder the sects in fairy-tale novels are all located among the mountains. Once the clouds and mist are around, the feeling of a fairy mountain emerges.
"Dong——" A bell sounded, and an ancient and majestic feeling came towards you.
Su Qing took a deep breath and felt that this trip was indeed the right one.
However, something was on her mind, and before she could take a few photos, Su Qing couldn't help but keep looking at her phone.
Fang Xiuying saw this and asked, "Why, are you still worried about him?"
Su Qing nodded and said frankly, "I am a little worried. After all, we are friends. Besides, he helped me. Besides, he was obviously exhausted just now. I shouldn't have come up like this."
The more she talked, the more she regretted it.
How could I be persuaded so easily at that time?
Fang Xiuying saw the worry in her eyes and suddenly said, "Then you can go down and take a look, so you don't have to worry about it all the time."
Su Qing thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, then you take a look at the mountain, I will accompany you to have a good walk later."
After saying that, he turned and went down the mountain.
Fang Xiuying looked at her and suddenly sighed. She didn't know who she inherited this weird personality from.
Ten minutes later, Su Qing saw Ji Xingyun climbing the mountain with difficulty.
Now, he took a branch from somewhere and walked slowly towards the mountain.
Seeing someone in front of him, he didn't look up, but just silently moved aside.
"You go down the mountain first." Seeing that the person in front of him did not move, Ji Xingyun said.
His throat was a little hoarse and his voice was weak.
Su Qing chuckled: "I'm not going down the mountain, I'm going up the mountain, let's go."
She stretched out her hand towards Ji Xingyun.
Ji Xingyun raised his head and saw her coming back. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. His fingertips moved, but he still shook his head to refuse: "This is not appropriate."
This is the third inappropriate thing he has said today.
Su Qing didn't know why he was so particular.
Hearing this, I had to walk behind him carefully: "Okay, then you go first, I'll follow you."
Ji Xingyun did not reject Su Qing's kindness this time. He pursed his lips and continued to climb the mountain.
The two had just taken two steps when Fang Xiuying reminded them: "Where are you? Come up quickly. It's suddenly getting dark. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily."
Hearing this, Su Qing raised her head. The faint sunlight before had disappeared, and the sky seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
The dark clouds rolled wildly in the sky, as if they could not control the beast inside.
She looked away and said, "I'm sorry."
Then he picked up Ji Xingyun and carried him sideways, jumped over the stairs in two or three steps, and hurried down the mountain.
Ji Xingyun didn't expect her to attack suddenly, and he couldn't react immediately, so he could only subconsciously hug her neck.
"This, this is not good." He looked at the winding stone steps behind him, and his face turned even redder.
Is he being carried by a princess?
This must be a dream!
Ji Xingyun closed his eyes, somewhat unwilling to face reality.
Before he could prepare himself mentally, he felt himself being put down. The moment his feet touched the ground, he opened his eyes.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Qing's face, and she waited until he stood completely firm before letting go of his hand.
"Go up quickly." Seeing Ji Xingyun open his mouth, Su Qing hurriedly said to him.
Only then did Ji Xingyun realize that they were still on the stone path and had not reached the top of the mountain directly.
He closed his mouth, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Su Qing laughed dryly and said, "It's only 300 meters to the top of the mountain. I think it would be better for you to walk up there yourself."
Ji Xingyun moved his lips, lowered his eyes, and finally said, "Thank you."
After saying this, he continued climbing the mountain as if nothing had happened.
Su Qing looked at his red ears and moved her fingertips.
Although it was just a temporary measure.
But I always feel that Ji Xingyun seems a little too thin.
The body in the hand seemed a little uncomfortable.
Once this doubt came into her mind, Su Qing began to look at it carefully.
Different from the bright and cheerful Professor Ji when he first met him, Ji Xingyun is now thin, with sunken cheeks and a dark complexion under his eyes.
It doesn't look healthy at all.
What on earth happened to make Ji Xingyun become like this in just a few short months?
A few minutes later, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.
What was very strange was that after the two reached the top of the mountain, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to disperse a little, and the sun shone down a little.
There were not many people on the mountain. When Ji Xingyun arrived at the mountain, he expressed his gratitude again.
Then he rested for a few seconds before slowly taking out the backpack he had been carrying on his back.
Su Qing thought of the touch just now and had some vague guesses in her mind.
