Chapter 592: Chapter 566: Fury and Ultimate Move


    Although the scenic area has winding mountain roads and driving up might be steep and not reach the summit, it is possible to reach halfway up the mountain, making it closer to the couple’s destination.


    In thest two years, due to the poprity of a specific rural TV series, the concept of farmhouses and vacation vis has quietly emerged in China. Local governments have been supporting farmers to run farmhouses. Xiao Qian and Yu Minng’s destination was a well-known farmhouse in Xiaojiao Mountain Scenic Area, one hour’s drive from Lin City.


    Xiao Qian hadn’t heard of this ce in her past life. She imagined that a well-known farmhouse must be a standalone vi in the mountains, surrounded by peaceful scenery, easily essible by car, and equipped with all kinds of modern conveniences while offering a tranquil retreat from city life.


    Her n was to drive along the winding mountain road until she reached the designated parking lot halfway up the mountain, and then hike for about an hour with Yu Minng to reach their destination.


    However, Yu Minng firmly rejected her proposal.


    His reasoning was that hiking should involve some exercise and sweating; otherwise, it wouldn’t count as actually climbing the mountain.


    Shamelessly, he told Xiao Qian they would reach their destination in just one hour. In reality, they had been on the trail for several hours and hadn’t arrived yet.


    He carried the bags while Xiao Qian only had to take care of herself and her umbre, yet she still felt exhausted, as if her legs were filled with lead.


    “Hang in there, baby. We’ll be there soon.” Yu Minng appeared energized, showing no sign of fatigue.


    “I’m not going any further! I’m not taking another step! You big liar, didn’t you say we’d get there in an hour?” Not caring about her appearance, Xiao Qian plopped down on arge rock and refused to budge.<div>


    “I didn’t lie to you. Considering our pace, an hour was actually generous. Who knew you’d be so delicate…”


    Speaking the truth was bound to get him hit, and, unsurprisingly, Yu Minng was struck.


    Xiao Qian hit him with her umbre, “You dare to say that? Can my physical strengthpare to your inhuman endurance?”


    “It’s obviously because you don’t exercise regrly. Look at you, walking two steps and resting for three minutes. At this rate, we won’t reach our destination even when it gets dark.”


    I don’t want to climb anymore; you can go on your own; I want to go home!” Xiao Qian now regretted ever agreeing to apany Yu Minng on this torturous mountain adventure in the sweltering heat.


    “Xiao Mei, do you know why I brought you here to have fun?”


    “To torture me?”


    “Wrong! The purpose of travel, like marriage, is to face and ovee the challenges along the long journey. You can’t just give up when faced with difficulties.”N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Surprisingly, he made a lot of sense, and she has nothing to say in response!


    “I shouldn’t havee in the first ce!” Wouldn’t staying at home, writing her thesis, and perusing fashion catalogs have been better? What was the point ofing all this way and enduring such exhaustion?


    “Look at you, being so extreme. Come on, take a look at the scenery around us – the majestic peaks and singing waterfalls. When we reach the top, we’ll experience the clouds looking back at us, people disappearing in the mist!”


    Although his words were inspiring and motivational, Xiao Qian would not be swayed by this poisonous chicken soup (bad advice).


    “Are you sure I’ll have the energy to reach the state of mind you’re talking about with my current condition?”


    “It’s such a good thing that people say it’s best to travel together before getting married. If I hadn’t dragged you out from the air-conditioned room, I wouldn’t have seen this side of you.”


    In Yu Minng’s memory, Xiao Qian spent most of her time strategizing, and seeing her so unappealingly stubborn was rare.


    Xiao Qian was furious now.


    “Yu Minng, you bastard! I’m not taking another step! Do whatever you want!” Narrowing her eyes, Xiao Qian gazed into the distance, bing more skeptical as the hiking route seemed to get tougher.


    “Are you sure we didn’te to the wrong ce?” Why were there fewer people, and why was the path growing steeper the further they walked?


    When she bought the entrance tickets, she had asked the staff at the scenic spot, who told her that the mountain was essible by car up to the halfway point. How had she and Yu Minng ended up in such a deste, deserted area after just a short walk along the winding road?<div>


    Looking at the steep, twisting path ahead, Xiao Qian had no desire to continue.


    “Are you doubting my sense of direction? Can you get lost with your elder brother? I used to go into the mountains for training all the time.”


    What a proud tone~


    “Then tell me, why are there no people on this section of the road?” Xiao Qian looked at him suspiciously.<div>


    Although it wasn’t a holiday, there should still be visitors. How could they walk for several hours without seeing a single person? There were many tourists when they first entered the mountain.


    “Ordinary people only know shortcuts and can’t understand our enjoyment. This path is specially prepared by me for us. Keep walking, and we’ll see a little-known one-line sky view! Then, looking at the magnificent waterfall in the distance, and continue walking – ”


    “Stop! So you’re saying you deliberately took me on a detour?! You fooled me into walking like a fool for so long. God, there’s no signal in this godforsaken ce!”


    Xiao Qian took out her phone and found no reception.


    She couldn’t even call a car to get down the mountain now, stuck between ascent and descent. In both of her smart lifetimes, she had never made such a stupid decision. Why, when she encountered him, did her IQ be challenged?


    “Qian Bao, there’s no turning back now. Whether you’reining or unwilling, we have no other choice but to move forward. Comining won’t solve the problem; when faced with difficulties, think about solutions. If we can’t escape it, let’s enjoy the scenery!”


    Yu Minng, the so-called chicken soup master, started brewing more soul-stirring soup, and Xiao Qian was on the verge of exploding.


    She jumped off the rock and aimed a kick at Yu Minng.


    “To hell with your ‘enjoyment!''”


    Knowing that Xiao Mei would get angry, Yu Minng was unfazed by her furious expression. In fact, deep down, he was proud of himself.


    He had a perfect backup n in mind that he believed Xiao Mei would appreciate. Hmph!


    It was true that Professor Liu had advised Yu Minng to take Xiao Qian mountain climbing.


    However, the actions that followed – angering Xiao Qian by taking her on the most difficult and deserted path, challenging her psychological endurance – were all his own doing.<div>


    Seeing Xiao Qian on the verge of an explosion, Yu Minng finally revealed his trump card.
