Sit at the wrong table on a blind date, get married to the heir of a billionaire family

Shen Tulong's tight jawline revealed a hint of melancholy.

Wenwen's voice was soft and gentle: "Auntie can see your sincerity. She knows your painstaking efforts and will be very happy in heaven."

After saying that, she bent her knees and squatted down, carefully helping to pull out the weeds beside the cracks in the rocks with her hands.

After clearing the weeds, Wen Wen took out the porcelain plates that had been prepared in advance from the trunk, arranged the cakes and fruits one by one, and even placed the chopsticks neatly.

Wen Wen clasped her hands together lightly, with a pious attitude:

"Auntie, you've worked hard all your life living for others, never having a few days of leisure... In your next life, you must find someone who loves you, wear beautiful clothes, and eat the food you like. Live for yourself once... You deserve better."

Shen Tulong stood beside her and clenched his hands quietly.

He looked quietly at his mother's photo on the tombstone, his thin lips slightly pursed.

After a long time, he took out a big bouquet of flowers from the trunk. It was beautiful and elegant, made of carnations, white chrysanthemums and yellow chrysanthemums.

This was something he had specially ordered and sent from the city before he set off.

Shen Tulong solemnly placed the flowers in front of his mother's grave.

Wenwen already knew at this time that her boss was so dedicated to his career that he was out of town discussing a project even when her mother passed away, and when he rushed back he didn't even get to see her for the last time.

So every year on this day, he would order a large bouquet of his mother's favorite white chrysanthemums and personally deliver it to the tombstone.

"Mom, everyone says I'm a successful boss, but I'm a failed son."

Wen Wen quickly comforted him: "You have done very well."

Shen Tulong smiled faintly, as if mocking himself: "When a person is alive, he is reluctant to eat and wear, and has never received a single flower. What good will it do even if he receives many, large flowers after he dies?"

These flowers, after all, represent Shen Tulong's deep-seated guilt.

The two stayed in front of the tombstone for about half an hour, and the mountain breeze gradually became cooler.

Shen Tulong raised his hand and patted Wen Wen's shoulder, indicating that it was time to go down the mountain.

Back in the Land Rover, when Shen Tulong opened the door and got in, and turned the car key, the engine only made a muffled "thump thump" sound, and then there was no movement.

Ok?

——I just filled up the gas before going up the mountain, and everything was fine when I checked. Why would it suddenly not start?

Wenwen was a little worried.

Shen Tulong was very calm: "It's okay, it should be a small problem."

As he spoke, he took out a toolbox from the trunk, squatted in front of the car and removed the hood.

It seemed like men were born to understand motorcycles. Shen Tulong skillfully fiddled with the wiring with his fingers.

But after repairing it for a while, it was getting dark and the car still didn't respond.

Shen Tulong patted the dust off his hands and said helplessly: "It's a bit complicated."

Wen Wen stood aside, watching him busying around, then looked up at the mountain road in the distance that was gradually swallowed by the night, feeling a little panicked.

——She knew nothing about repairing cars and didn’t even recognize the basic tools. The wind in the mountains was a bit cold and she got goose bumps on her arms.

Wen Wen: "Is it serious?"

Shen Tulong was silent for a while and said, "I'll call the villagers to pick you up. Go back and wait for me. I'll come down the mountain to find you when I'm done repairing it."

"So...how long will it take to repair this car?"

Wenwen's eyes were full of worry.

"not sure."

Shen Tulong leaned against the car body. "Maybe it will just take a while to check it out, or it might take all night. If a part is broken, we might have to stop driving for several days and even call a tow truck."

Wen Wen: “Ah?”

Shen Tulong paused and said, "Don't worry. If the repair really takes a long time, I will have someone take you back to the city. It won't affect your schedule."

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about myself."

Wen Wen quickly waved her hands, "I'm worried about your safety if I leave you here alone..."

"I'm fine."

Shen Tulong's eyes fell on Wen Wen's thin coat, and he felt a little sorry for her.

——I grew up in the mountains and have experience in walking at night and dealing with outdoor situations. My body can handle it, but Wenwen is different. She has a weak personality and no outdoor experience.

"Over the years, every time I go back to the village, I stay with my mother in the mountains for a few days. I'm used to it."

Shen Tulong took out his cell phone and called someone he knew in the village to pick up Wenwen - he didn't dare let Wenwen walk down the mountain alone.

There are no street lights on this mountain road at night, and the weeds on the roadside are taller than people. You may encounter small animals such as weasels and snakes. If you accidentally take the wrong road and get lost in the mountains, it can be life-threatening.

Before he could dial the number, Wen Wen suddenly stepped forward and turned off the phone in his hand.

Wenwen's eyes sparkled, as if she had mustered up the courage: "I'll stay with you! We'll come back when you're done repairing it."

Shen Tulong: "What if it can't be fixed tonight?"

Wen Wen: "Then just treat it as a vacation in the mountains. Don't you have a tent and sleeping bag in your car? I've never seen the night view in the mountains before. What if I leave you alone and you get into danger..."

Shen Tulong followed her gaze towards the trunk of the car and fell silent.

There are food, drinks, tents, sleeping bags and simple living utensils in the trunk. In the past, when I was in a bad mood, I would pitch a tent here and spend the night talking to my mother's tombstone.

For him, spending a night in a car or tent was no big deal. He just thought of it as spending more time with his mother, which he often did in the past.

But Wenwen is a woman after all, and there are differences between men and women.

Wenwen rarely becomes bold.

"We agreed to let me be your assistant. I'm on a business trip, it's official business... How can I just abandon my boss when something goes wrong? Besides, it's so cold here at night. The two of us can stay together and look after each other. It's better than you being alone."

Shen Tulong looked at her serious face - he originally thought that Wen Wen would be afraid of trouble and hardship, and would be eager to get down the mountain as soon as possible, but he didn't expect her to be so brave.

It's totally different from his usual timid look.

"Ah."

Shen Tulong did not refuse again. He turned around, took out the tent and moisture-proof mat from the car, walked to the flat open space and started setting up.

Wenwen stepped forward to help. Although she had never set up a tent before, she learned very seriously, sometimes helping to hold the support and sometimes helping to pull the tent cloth.

Under the dim light of the car lights, two shadows overlapped. Wen Wen carefully served as Shen Tulong's assistant. For some reason, she felt that this experience was very novel...

There was a subtle warmth in the air. When Shen Tulong was setting up the tent, he would occasionally tell her the details of the assembly and things to pay attention to when camping outdoors.

He had shed much of his usual aloofness and spoke in great detail, making Wenwen feel that he was becoming more and more like a brother next door.

After the tent was set up, Shen Tulong brought a folding chair from the car, took out the hot drink he had prepared earlier, poured two cups and handed one to Wen Wen.

"How's it going? The tent isn't that hard, is it?"

"It's really interesting. It's really fulfilling to put together such a complicated tent."

Wen Wen asked about interesting things on the mountain with excitement in her eyes, and Shen Tulong answered in a disjointed manner.

Shen Tulong looked at the mountain scenery in the distance and listened to the chirping of insects and the sound of wind in the mountains.

Wenwen took a few photos of the distant sunset with her phone. Looking at the clouds in the sky above her head, she couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is the first time I've stayed so late in the mountains. I've heard people say that the stars in the mountains are so densely packed, like a handful of diamonds, brighter than those in the city."

Shen Tulong smiled faintly: "Are you really not afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? We have food and drinks, a warm tent, and even a small pot for cooking. It's quite romantic if you think about it."
