It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

[Tsk, this pitiful little thing, I really want to bully her again.]

Xie Xingran's cheeks instantly turned red due to the shameful words he heard.

Lu Ci also raised his eyebrows barely perceptibly.

[Oh wow~~ My face is blushing. ]

Xie Xingran couldn't bear it any longer, so he pushed away the person who was pressing on him, turned over and beat the person.

"Lu Ciye! You shameless scoundrel!"

Xie Xingran was also ticklish, so he fought back in the same way.

It was Lu Ci's turn to laugh. He couldn't avoid her no matter how he dodged left or right, and his whole body was completely suppressed under her.

“Hahaha, stop, stop, stop now…hahaha…” He begged for mercy, “Wife, wife, wife, I was wrong…hahaha, I won’t dare to do it again, hahaha…wife…”

Xie Xingran stopped and scolded him:

"Don't call me wife!"

A tear slid down from the corner of her eye with a smile. Lu Ciye's chest rose and fell, and he looked up at her with misty eyes.

After a long pause, he said:

"But you are my wife."

Xie Xingran's ears turned red, and she got anxious and pretended to continue scratching.

Lu Ci reluctantly took back his original words: "Stop, stop scratching me, I won't scream."

[Hmph, I shouted in my heart, wife, wife, wife, wife...]

Xie Xingran narrowed his eyes and showed no mercy. He pressed him down and tickled him for a long time before stopping.

Lu Ci also struggled so hard that his hair was messy, his clothes were half-open, and he was breathing heavily, looking at her with a look of despair:

"I told you I wouldn't scream anymore, why are you still tickling me?"

He complained with all his grievances, not realizing that his inner voice exposed his little thoughts completely.

"Because you owe it to me." She said, lowering her head and reaching out to cover his leaked breasts.

Then he got out of bed, found a windbreaker from the closet, and went to the bathroom.

"Okay, hurry up and change your clothes and go, aren't we going to watch the sunrise?"

Lu Ci snorted in dissatisfaction, calmed himself down, and got out of bed, also taking out a jacket...

—

Everything was ready, and one person walked out of the villa with a hiking stick.

Old Li, who had been waiting outside, greeted them with a smile and opened the car door attentively.

The window was opened a little, and a steady stream of fresh air blew in from the car moving at high speed.

Xie Xingran: "Just tell me when you want me to carry you."

Lu Ci also shook his head and refused sternly, "No, I want to climb up Yunshan Mountain by myself!"

It takes about three hours to get from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Hearing his refusal, Xie Xingran did not force it.

It was his way of remembering his father, she thought, and his determination and his love for his father should not be underestimated.

There was no conversation throughout the journey, and we reached the bottom of the mountain an hour later.

It was not summer vacation yet, so there were not many people climbing Yunshan Mountain. I only met a dozen or so people along the way.

Lu Ci also turned on the flashlight and climbed up without saying a word.

During his annual trip to Yunshan, he doesn’t bring a speaker to play music like he does when he climbs other mountains.

The only time we climbed at night, we did it in silence.

He was so focused on the road under his feet that he didn't even think about it.

Seeing that he was so silent, Xie Xingran did not disturb him, but just followed him closely.

For more than three hours, he didn't even complain of being tired, even though the legs of this body were already trembling.

Xie Xingran knew his persistence and had no intention of carrying him. At most, he would just give him a hand.

Finally reached the top of the mountain,

Lu Ci also slumped on the rocks, looking at the sky that had already revealed a glimmer of light, slowly dispelling the darkness.

Xie Xingran sat down next to him and handed him an opened bottle of mineral water.

He took it and drank half the bottle before stopping.

The two of them sat side by side in this place. Because there were so few people, there was almost no one within five meters around them.

"Xie Xingran, you will be amazed later. This piece of land is a perfect place to watch the sunrise."

He said, a smile on his face, "My dad and I used to sit here."

Xie Xingran also looked forward to it.

She had never seen the sunrise from the top of a mountain before. This was her first time, and she was watching it with him.

Half an hour later, the sun rose.

The sun slowly poked its head out, and its round body, like a ball of ignited flame, gradually spread from the surrounding horizons.

From deep red to golden yellow, it looks like a huge oil painting.

It was a breathtaking beauty. Everything around became bright and clear, making people involuntarily intoxicated by this wonderful scenery.

Lu Ci, who was always noisy, just watched this scene deeply.

"Dad, I watched the sunrise for you again. Did you see me? Actually, I'm your daughter-in-law!"

[Isn't it amazing? I think this is a mysterious journey too.]

[…I don’t like making friends, so I’ve always hoped someone would break into my house and let me have a warm love like you and mom have.]

Xie Xingran looked at him in surprise. She never thought that he, a CEO, would have such expectations of a little girl.

Feeling her gaze, Lu Ci turned his head and met her eyes.

After a long time, he smiled.

I got what I wanted, Dad.

[She really came to me like a robber, broke open the door of my heart, filled my illusory dreams, and allowed me this wonderful love.]

“Bang—bang—bang—”

Xie Xingran couldn't control his heartbeat and fell into his smiling and shining eyes.

"Lu Ciye." she shouted.

"Hmm~" he responded, with the ending tone rising.

"Let's come here to watch the sunrise again next year."

Lu Ci also smiled widely and held out his hand to her: "Then let's make a pinky promise. It's a deal, and no one is allowed to go back on their word."

Xie Xingran readily agreed and stretched out her hand to hook her pinky finger with his.

Lu Ciye: "Let's make a promise, nothing will change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a stinking puppy! Seal!"

Thumbs touch to form a pair, and an agreement is made.

Behind them, as time passed, the sunlight penetrated the mist, shining out thousands of golden rays, covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.

Everything is bathed in warm sunshine.

Turning their heads, they enjoyed the sunrise.

Suddenly, Lu Ci also stretched out his right hand and pointed to the horizon in surprise, "Xie Xingran, look over there, there are still stars and the moon!"

Xie Xingran turned his head and looked sideways, only to see that opposite the sun, the moon, which should have completely set, and a star were still hanging in the sky.

Although only a faint white and light traces remain, it is undeniable that this is a magnificent sight with the sun and the moon shining together.

Lu Ci also stood up, standing on this high ground, looking down from above.

He turned his head against the light, the breeze ruffling his hair, and the look he gave her was full of the youthful vigor and vitality of a young man.

"Xie Xingran, there's a line from a poem that fits the current situation perfectly. Do you know which one it is?"

Xie Xingran looked at his eager face, wanting to show off in front of her, and asked with a smile:

"What poem?"

He turned his head, facing the vast expanse of heaven and earth before him, opened his hands, and spoke in a clear and loud voice:

"Look up and gaze around at the vast universe. The sun, moon, and stars—let me climb them!"
