Chapter 538: Chapter 538
Of course, Liu Zhizhong couldn't come forward and admit it.
Even Feng Xiaoyue hadn't told Xiang Wenxin—it was a form of protection for him, right? Updates are released by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
So, there was no need for him to forcibly claim his identity. How tasteless and unsophisticated would that be?
If he really wanted to flirt with girls, why rely on Mr. Big Shot's reputation? Wasn't he capable enough on his own?
Haha, flirting with Xiang Wenxin? Forget it, Liu Zhizhong was an honest man and knew his limits…
Liu Zhizhong followed Feng Xiaoyue as they climbed towards Feng Mountain summit, blending into the dense crowd but still managing to stand out and catch people's eyes.
They looked like a couple, sometimes laughing and chatting, sometimes Xiang Wenxin would be a bit capricious, playfully fighting, but they never got to the point of drawing weapons. This kind of relationship, of course, was enviable to those around.
Xiang Wenxin really enjoyed times .
Liu Zhizhong felt these moments were precious too.
A capricious and beautiful Southern belle gave him a different experience, a special kind of joy during this unique period.
Sometimes, when they encountered steep parts, Liu Zhizhong would climb up first and then reach down to help Xiang Wenxin up a bit. But it never came to this: Xiang Wenxin climbing in front with Liu Zhizhong below, reaching up to wrap his arm around her waist to lift her, or even pushing her up by the buttocks. He did think about it, but every time such an opportunity arose, Xiang Wenxin insisted on him going first and then pulling her up.
Master Wen Xin still maintained his decency. Old Chu, haha...
By noon, both were panting and drenched in sweat, having climbed to the left wing of the pinnacle of Feng Mountain. Looking out, they saw that this side was a bit lower than Dragon Ridge where Xiang Wenhua lived in seclusion. They couldn't see his villa from here, but they could see the Sunrise Viewing Platform on the other side, the hotels, hostels, and tourists.
At that moment, the gorge beneath them was still shrouded in a stunning display of mist and rolling clouds—truly an immensely enjoyable view.
Both of their drinking water had run out. Feng Mountain was lower than Dragon Mountain but steeper, making it quite dehydrating to climb.
Moreover, while hiking, carrying less made things easier. They could just buy water along the way to stay hydrated. Though the prices were a bit high, it didn't really matter.
Liu Zhizhong looked around at all the places selling water and eventually bought two bottles of Kunlun Mountain water and two cucumbers.
Xiang Wenxin enjoyed her disciple's services, sitting in the woods here on a wooden bench, wiping sweat and admiring the view.
Before long, Liu Zhizhong returned, handing her a cucumber, "Master, here, for you."
Xiang Wenxin frowned at the sight of the cucumber, "No need, no need."
"I didn't say 'use it,' I said 'eat it,'" Liu Zhizhong replied coolly.
"You…" Xiang Wenxin was a bit puzzled.
But just then, not far away, a pair of young women out for a hike started to laugh when they heard that. They giggled as they glanced at Liu Zhizhong's cucumber and then at Xiang Wenxin, obviously throwing suggestive glances her way.
Xiang Wenxin, realizing what Liu Zhizhong had implied, turned bright red and leaped up to chase after and playfully hit him!
The scuffle turned out to be quite enjoyable. Many tourists around, especially the men, were thrilled and envious, watching Xiang Wenxin's nimble running and sexy curves.
Although Xiang Wenxin didn't catch Liu Zhizhong, she plopped down on a chair further away and demanded, "Give me water, give me the cucumber!"
Liu Zhizhong hurried over, extending his arms as far as they could reach, not daring to come any closer.
Xiang Wenxin snatched them up, huffed, and turned her back to him, starting to drink water and eat the cucumber without paying him any mind.
Liu Zhizhong, keeping his distance, sat down on a nearby chair. As he munched on cucumber and drank water, he sneakily admired Xiang Wenxin's charming figure, truly enjoying the moment.
After having their fill and resting, it was time to look for a place for lunch. Considering the situation here, they had to walk over a kilometer more to reach the summit of Feng Mountain, the peak at the head of the phoenix.
By then, Xiang Wenxin had finished her cucumber and drunk most of her water.
Just then, she received a message. After glancing at it, she gestured to Liu Zhizhong, "Come here, there's news. The situation you've been wanting!"
Liu Zhizhong nervously approached, keeping his distance, "Really or not?"
"Sicko! Are you looking or not?" Xiang Wenxin shook her phone at him, her face a mix of coyness and anger.
Liu Zhizhong still kept his wary stance, "What if you hit me again?"
"You're such a nincompoop…" Xiang Wenxin couldn't help but laugh and cry in frustration, then she simply placed her phone on the end of the bench, "There, satisfied now?"
"Oh, haha, yes, yes…" Liu Zhizhong smiled as if blooming flowers, boldly walked over, picked up the phone, and then cautiously backed away two steps.
Xiang Wenxin gave him a dismissive look, "Coward, weakling… a man like you, not really a man at all..."
"Hehe… better safe than sorry, eh! As a boy in the outside world, you have to learn to protect yourself!" Liu Zhizhong chuckled, his words tinged with a Southern dialect.
Xiang Wenxin gave him another glance and ignored him.
Liu Zhizhong looked down at the phone and suddenly, the smile froze on his face…
