Chapter 141 Can you take me in?
I followed Ren Zile's advice and went around to the side via a side path.
They walked for an unknown amount of time but still couldn't see a path leading uphill.
However, the signs here do indicate that it is possible to go up the mountain.
I continued walking forward.
The forest was quiet, with the occasional bird flapping its wings and taking flight.
The warm sunshine made me feel really comfortable.
"We meet again." Huo Yubai was sitting in a small pavilion not far away.
I:"……"
"The sun is shining brightly." He smiled slightly.
I walked over, crossed my arms, and looked at him suspiciously: "When did you bribe Ren Zile too?"
"When did he become mine?" Huo Yubai asked innocently.
"Do you think I can't see it? He's been very enthusiastic towards you ever since you appeared." I said seriously, "Huo Yubai, you promised you wouldn't lie to me."
“Professor Shen, you’re more suited to be a policeman.” Huo Yubai smiled helplessly: “I really have nothing to do with him. If I have anything to do with him, it’s only because his family has some business dealings with me.”
"So he pretended to be uncomfortable to please you?" I frowned.
He smiled helplessly: "It's true that he wasn't feeling well, and it's also true that he wanted to help me."
I sneered.
"Aren't we going up the mountain? Let's go, or it'll get late," he said.
I snorted.
"Give me the bag." He took the backpack from my body.
I looked him up and down, then laughed in exasperation: "You're wearing leather shoes to climb a mountain with me?"
"Okay." He nodded. "Next time, I'll keep a set of hiking clothes in the car. You like hiking, so I can go with you."
"I don't like mountain climbing, but it's a group activity, and as the manager of the lab, it wouldn't be right for me not to participate," I explained.
"Actually, I don't like it either," Huo Yubai said. "I just want to be with you."
I glared at him.
"Okay, I won't say anything more." He smiled.
Huo Yubai and I walked forward and soon came to a mountain path leading uphill.
The road surface is neat.
"Is this road newly built?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was originally supposed to be available next spring," Huo Yubai said. "But I asked about it yesterday, and they told me."
"You knew yesterday, so you knew we were going hiking all along, and you still told the guesthouse owner not to tell us?" I was even angrier.
"Am I that awful?" Huo Yubai said bitterly, "I just wanted to spend more time with you."
I didn't say anything.
This mountain isn't very high, but its beauty lies in the scenery along its slopes and at its foot.
Even in autumn, the scenery remains unique.
There are mountain streams and waterfalls.
Walked for a while.
Huo Yubai broke out in a lot of sweat.
I took out a tissue and let him wipe his sweat.
He pressed his whole face against it.
I frowned.
"I'm so tired, I can't even lift my arms," he complained to me.
"Huo Yubai, acting cute won't work. Don't think I'm falling for that!" I said angrily.
He always manages to get a precise understanding of me.
"You know best whether I'm healthy or not." He looked at me with a half-smile: "You can take my pulse and see if I'm faking it."
I know he isn't.
His health is indeed not good.
weak.
Powerless.
He shouldn't have come to climb the mountain.
"I told you this kind of exercise isn't suitable for you." I vigorously wiped his sweat; he had good skin, without a single blemish.
He said, "Shen Yan, if I hadn't met you, would I be in the ICU by now?"
I didn't say anything.
“You also work at the hospital, you must have seen my medical records,” he asked.
“No, your medical record is top secret, I can’t see it,” I complained.
"It's something I don't want anyone to know. Actually, it's better if you don't see it, otherwise you'll say I'm playing the victim." His voice was muffled.
My cold wasn't better yet.
“I don’t think you’re playing the victim; I just think you shouldn’t use your weaknesses to blackmail me,” I said.
“If you didn’t care, why would you be coerced by me?” he asked.
"Can't I be kind-hearted and beautiful?" I threw a tissue at him.
He smiled faintly: "Shen Yan, as a dying man, I think it's not wrong for me to pursue the girl I like. I haven't forced you to do anything. If you don't like her, you can ignore her or abandon her. I won't blame you."
"Really? Then I'm leaving." I strode away, leaving him behind.
He gave a slight smirk and silently followed.
Actually, I don't walk very fast.
Huo Yubai's coughing could always be heard behind me.
My heart skipped a beat every time he coughed.
I looked up to the sky and sighed.
Accept your fate, Shen Yan, he has you completely under his control!
I turned around and went back.
He was still coughing.
I immediately took a pill out of my bag and put it in his mouth.
After he took it, he felt much better after a few minutes.
I reached out and pulled up the collar of his down jacket completely.
“You deliberately left your down jacket collar open to show me the suit you’re wearing underneath. You don’t think I think you’re too ascetic, do you? Let me tell you, you look exactly like an insurance salesman!” I scolded.
He smiled and said, "Whatever it looks like, as long as you like it."
“Let’s go down. I checked, it’ll take another hour to go back up. If you insist on staying with me, next time we’ll probably have to hire someone to carry you,” I said.
"But it's not easy for you to come all this way." He felt sorry for me.
"Come back when it gets warmer," I said calmly. "There will be other opportunities anyway."
"Okay, I'll go with you next time," he said with a smile.
"Take care of your health first, and don't do anything you can't do," I advised.
"I often forget things, remind me," he said with a smile.
I glanced at him sideways: "If you listened to what I said, you wouldn't be here today."
He smiled but said nothing.
After descending the mountain.
He and I waited for everyone in the car.
Huo Yubai didn't drive, so he and I will go back together later.
Two hours later, everyone came down the mountain and carried their luggage out of the guesthouse.
Jiang Miao looked at me and said, "Professor Shen, it's such a pity you didn't go up. It's so beautiful up there."
"Come again in spring," I said with a faint smile.
Dai Chen'an asked, "How is President Huo's health?"
"It's alright," I said.
He said meaningfully, "I didn't expect President Huo to be so willful, doing whatever he wants."
“If he were still in his old body, he probably would have gone even further than he did today,” I laughed.
Dai Chen settled in.
"I'll take Yan Yu and Jiang Miao back. What about the others?" I asked.
"We'll go back the way we came," Dai Chen'an asked. "Would you like to go out for another meal after we get back?"
“I’m not going. I want to take Huo Yubai home as soon as possible, and I’m worried about home,” I explained.
"Alright then, we'll talk about it next time." Dai Chen'an turned around and told everyone to get in the car.
Jiang Miao and Yan Yu loaded their luggage into the car.
I'll be in charge of driving.
The two of them were sitting in the back seat of the car.
On the way here, Jiang Miao kept talking.
When I got back, I didn't dare say a word.
Back in the city.
I took them home.
Finally, he drove back with Huo Yubai.
I took him to his doorstep.
He didn't get out of the car.
I frowned: "You want to spend the night in the car?"
"I'm hungry, but Auntie doesn't know I'm back; she must have gone out." Huo Yubai looked at me with a longing expression. "Professor Shen, could you take me in for a bit?"
