My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1032: Ten Miles of Spring Wind Pale in Comparison to You
In response to Lu Xiangxiang’s teasing, Ye Fan and Mengyao shot her a look of disdain.
After enough rest, the three continued to climb up.
"There’s nothing to see up there, nothing at all." Occasionally, when tourists passed by Ye Fan and the others, they would say such uninterested words.
The implication was simple: they hadn’t conquered the mountain underfoot and wanted those who continued to climb to turn back.
They were unwilling, always feeling like something was missing in their hearts. Since they couldn’t do it, they thought it better if others couldn’t either.
Finding someone unable to conquer the mountain, the negative signal they sent looked for their own sense of existence.
Ye Fan and the others were utterly indifferent to this.
Behind them, tourists returning the way they came had very peculiar expressions as they looked at Ye Fan and the others, filled with both envy and admiration.
Many tourists thus gave up the idea of climbing further, retreating with a sense of failure.
After climbing for another hour, the top of the mountain showed no signs of human development, only a dirt road.
As they got close to the top, Ye Fan was not very tired and felt at ease, but Mengyao and Lu Xiangxiang were quite exhausted. However, at this last stretch, it was as though something surged inside them like a hundred-meter dash, and their speed increased.
Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Lu Xiangxiang finally reached the summit.
"Ah..." Lu Xiangxiang shouted loudly, venting the fatigue in her heart. Soon, joy and leisurely emotions occupied her soul.
Mengyao also followed with an expression of inner agitation.
At the mountain top, there was a grassy field as large as several basketball courts.
Surrounding the grassland were pine forests, weeds, and cliffs.
On the grass field, there were a few tourists lying down, resting and chatting. Seeing Ye Fan and the others, they showed an expression of mutual understanding and mutual respect.
At that moment, the sense of accomplishment from conquering the mountain arose spontaneously, surging through every cell and vein in their bodies.
"I finally stepped on the mountain with my feet, haha, hooray!" Lu Xiangxiang exclaimed exuberantly, then found a spot on the grass and plopped down, lying on her back to gaze at the sky.
Ye Fan and Mengyao also lay on the grass, their heads gathered together.
"Until I experienced it myself, I didn’t think the phrase ’to pluck a star’ was not just empty words. I feel ethereal at this moment, so close to the boundless sky. If it were night, it would really feel like I could reach out and pluck a star," Mengyao said joyfully.
"It’s not safe here at night, and we aren’t fully prepared. Otherwise, camping here would be a nice choice," Lu Xiangxiang said longingly.
"Let’s not think about camping. If you encounter a wild animal at night, it won’t be pleasant," Ye Fan said casually and lightly.
"Standing at the edge of the cliff at this moment, with the mountain beneath my feet, the vast wilderness below, and the sky above, reciting ’At the top, all other mountains seem small’ brings a unique flavor and feeling, it’s definitely exhilarating and cool," Lu Xiangxiang giggled.
She picked a blade of grass and tossed it at Ye Fan’s face, enthusiastically asking, "Ye Fan, when you guys recite poetry like this, do you imagine yourselves as legendary heroes?"
"What matters most is the experience and journey, nothing else matters," Ye Fan responded casually.
"Ye Fan, I have a question for you. What do you think is the most beautiful right now?" Lu Xiangxiang asked mischievously, "Above is the ever-changing sky, behind you is the grand mountain, and everything within sight is breathtakingly beautiful. Looking around, you feel happy and mentally relaxed, and with a good companion beside you, what do you think is the most beautiful, a person or an object?"
Mengyao’s eyes flashed because Lu Xiangxiang’s question was asking Ye Fan to choose between the beauty of people and the beauty of scenery.
"The spring waters are rising, the spring forests are flourishing, a breeze across ten miles is not as good as you, and three lifetimes of peach blossoms cannot compare to you," Ye Fan recited seriously.
Regarding what Lu Xiangxiang just said, he naturally deflected the question with a small display of eloquence.
Mengyao smiled sweetly, turned her head to look at Ye Fan, filled with tenderness.
Ye Fan also gave Mengyao a look full of deep affection.
Ignoring Lu Xiangxiang completely.
"So cheesy, wah wah wah!" Lu Xiangxiang shivered, hugging herself as she trembled.
She suddenly sat up, looked at Ye Fan, and giggled, "Ye Fan, I’ve got goosebumps all over, you know? If you want to express your feelings, you should look at Mengyao and recite with deep emotion, you know? Just like we learned in elementary school, even if it’s recitation, it needs to be recited with emotion. You, with your serious and earnest recital, don’t you think that’s bizarre?"
"Bizarre? Is it?" Ye Fan asked back.
"Not bizarre at all, I rather enjoy it, a breeze across ten miles is not as good as me, three lifetimes of peach blossoms are not as good as me, that’s talking about me, right? As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Mengyao said earnestly and sincerely.
Lu Xiangxiang held her forehead and sighed lightly, "Even sweet talk is so serious and dignified, how inwardly reserved can one be."
"Mengyao, I didn’t expect you to have a narcissistic side too. It seems like Ye Fan’s random sweet talk is enough to make you lose your head, you don’t even know where your brain has gone," Lu Xiangxiang shifted her gaze from Mengyao to Ye Fan, questioning, "Ye Fan, come clean, confess truthfully, was that random talk or premeditated?"
Lu Xiangxiang sat cross-legged on the grass, scanning Ye Fan and Mengyao with scrutinizing eyes.
"It was spontaneous, purely spontaneous," Ye Fan said seriously.
"Ah!" Lu Xiangxiang slapped the grass as if she had realized something, exclaiming, "I know, you were just being cheesy about me, right? It wasn’t meant for Mengyao to hear. While climbing, I was sweating and couldn’t care about maintaining a ladylike image. Later, when a couple passed by me, the man looked at me a few more times, then tripped, fell flat on his face, and took his partner down with him. In the end, the girl dragged the guy away and gave him a beating. You must have been praising my extraordinary beauty and captivating looks, right?"
Lu Xiangxiang quickly turned the situation to herself.
"What a load of nonsense, what does it have to do with you? Stop being narcissistic and get lost." Mengyao looked at Lu Xiangxiang with disdain for interrupting her good mood.
"You’re really gilding yourself, do you even have any face left?" Ye Fan scoffed.
"I’m telling the truth, I’m serious." Lu Xiangxiang imitated the serious manner of Ye Fan and Mengyao earlier, putting on an unprecedentedly earnest expression.
