Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Ran Mo's heart stirred slightly. She really liked the atmosphere of sitting together in the wilderness, admiring the beautiful scenery. She had always sat alone in the past, but this moment gave her a completely different feeling.

She wished time could stop at this moment. Just the two of them, between heaven and earth. Free and unfettered, unburdened by attachments, half dream, half reality, half lifelong connection.

As if about to say something, they both turned their faces towards each other, and unexpectedly, their faces bumped into each other. Half of Qingsheng's lips touched the corner of Ranmo's mouth. The raised lip and the dimple at the corner of his mouth met perfectly, producing a tingling sensation.

Two hearts pounded. They stayed together for a moment, but had to separate even though they were reluctant.

Is that half a kiss?

Neither dared to stand up immediately. Ran Mo concentrated and held her breath, looking down to play with a small jade pendant hanging from her chest. This was given to her by her mother. It usually accompanied her like a little person.

Qingsheng quickly buried his head between her wide-open legs. Holding a small dry branch, he scratched the ground.

After a while, Ran Mo stood up first and stretched his back. Then he turned around and looked at the other side of the wilderness.

At the end of the endless Gobi Desert, there are vaguely outlined mountains. On clear days, the mountains appear grayish white with snow on their peaks; on cloudy days, they turn dark brown, like old cows resting.

It was a mountain that seemed out of reach. It had been there since they were born, but they had never been there and didn't even know its name.

The terrain of Dayue Kingdom is high in the north and low in the south, with this massive mountain range stretching across the center of the country. This is also a major factor in the huge differences in geography and climate between Dayue City in the north and Xiaoyue City in the center.

Dayue City is located on the northern slope of the mountain range, enjoying abundant rainfall and lush vegetation. Xiaoyue City, located to the south, is subject to perennial drought and high temperatures. Only oases can support life, while other areas are barren and uninhabited.

Fortunately, there is a long and narrow canyon in the mountains, which does not completely block the traffic between the north and the south.

Ranmo and her friends once had an experience of exploring the mountains. Looking at the mountains that looked like a wisp of clouds and smoke, one day, a few friends suddenly felt inspired to take an adventure together and head towards the distant mountain to see what it looked like.

Braving the howling north wind, they hunched their heads and walked for a long time. The mountain seemed so close before their eyes, but in reality it was so far away that they couldn't even touch its edge. This was because the area they lived in was so vast.

In the end, everyone's interest and courage in exploring waned, and they all backed out and returned home.

A mountain lay to the north of the town, but they had never felt it, nor considered themselves to be people living near it. The mountain seemed too insignificant to them. Perhaps it was their ignorance, but the mountain actually had a profound impact on the local climate and life.

The town thrives against such a grand backdrop, and its people experience joys and sorrows in their ordinary and trivial lives.

Qingsheng also stood up at this moment, walked over to her side, and together they looked out at the distant mountains. For him, a man is like a mountain. Galloping across mountains and rivers on a battlefield in the future is a achievable youthful dream, and it is also a heavy responsibility for his family and country.

Looking at the person next to him, Qingsheng said with a hint of encouragement: "Want to go there?"

Ran Mo nodded slightly without thinking. "Let's go then. It's still early anyway."

Ran Mo glanced at him and thought to himself, "You're really careless. Is that a place you can just go to casually?"

Unexpectedly, Qingsheng half-knelt down, pointed his finger at his back and said, "Come on, get on, I'll carry you."

Ran Mo was speechless. Then he declined, "That place is far away. We won't even be halfway there by dark. Let's go back."

Qingsheng refused, saying, "It's as far as I can go."

Ran Mo didn't let him do whatever he wanted. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait for me a moment." Then, while he was still hunched over the ground with his back to him, he spread his legs and ran across the field.

Qingsheng turned around at the sound and immediately acted like he'd been tricked and was about to eat someone. He quickly chased her. How could she outrun him? Soon, he caught up like a hungry tiger and grabbed her by the waist. One of them lost their balance and fell to the gravel.

Without waiting for Ran Mo to get up, Qingsheng flipped over and landed on top of her, leaving her with nowhere to escape. He used his elbows to support himself against the ground, preventing himself from crushing her. Then, with stern eyes, he looked at her and said, "Are you still running? Tell me how I'm going to punish you?"

Ran Mo closed her eyes slightly and remained silent, thinking of playing dead for once. After a while, she saw no movement and could not help but open her eyes to look. But she saw Qing Sheng with a strange expression, staring at her infatuatedly. His jade-like face and red lips seemed to be approaching.

Ran Mo was nervous and tried to do a somersault, but he couldn't. In a panic, he said, "Didn't you want to carry me just now? Now you can."

Qingsheng looked at her with a hint of satisfaction. He felt it was inappropriate to continue pressing on her, so he rolled over and lay down. Ranmo quickly stood up. Qingsheng jumped up with her.

She squatted down as usual. She calmed herself, gritted her teeth, and gestured on her chest for a while. At Qingsheng's urging, she finally leaned over his back. Qingsheng immediately stood up steadily, carrying her on his back and striding forward.

Ran Mo was a little intoxicated by the generous and warm feeling. She still carefully placed her palms on his back. The position looked a little awkward.

Qingsheng also noticed it, and turned his head and shouted, "Can't you just put your hand on my shoulders? You can't even carry anyone." He sounded like he was talking about himself.

Ran Mo's heart began to beat fast. Even though she had a chest strap on, if she leaned in close it would inevitably give him a strange feeling. What should he do?

Qingsheng was a little impatient. He grabbed her butt and lifted it up suddenly. Ran Mo's hands missed and flew onto his shoulders. Her chest hit his back hard and then stayed there motionless.

Qingsheng's body trembled slightly. He didn't say anything. He just carried her on his back and continued walking forward.

Ran Mo was so nervous that he dared not breathe or move. The two of them walked forward with their backs to each other.

Ran Mo seemed relieved. It was already this far. If he hadn't noticed, it was fine. Even if he had, it wouldn't matter. She'd had enough of the constraints and torment of disguising herself as a man.

I couldn't help but think of the lyrics from the Kunqu opera "Nie Hai Ji: Longing for the Mortal World": "I am a girl, not a man. Why do I wear a yellow sash around my waist and a straight robe?"

There's no way to avoid it. This time, I'll just send him a signal.

When she looked up, she found that Qingsheng was not carrying her towards the mountain, but was walking towards the town. She couldn't help but ask, "Hey, we're going the wrong way, aren't you going to the mountain?"

Qingsheng replied: "Who would go so far? It would tire people to death." Ranmo thought to himself, hey, who insisted on going just now?

Qingsheng shook his head and said, "Since I'm already carrying you on my back, does it matter where we go?"

Ran Mo's heart was filled with anger, then joy. She simply opened her arms and clung tightly to the man's broad, strong arms, letting him take her wherever he wanted to go.

Under the golden sunset, the two figures formed a beautiful silhouette, and as the rosy glow flowed, they gradually melted into the sunset glow...
