"Xinglan, what do you think?"
Lili didn’t ignore Lin Xinglan’s opinion. Lin Xinglan nodded, "Mm, okay."
"Then we’ll follow this route."
After Lin Xinglan responded, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his palms breaking out in cold sweat...
With the detailed map in hand, they naturally beca the first batch of rookies to summit Luoheng Mountain.
Dawn broke, the horizon slowly tinged with a fiery red glow.
The sun rose from the east.
"So beautiful..."
Lin Xinglan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Song Lili glanced at her; it was only at dawn that she could see her face clearly. Xiao Hua’s small face was still sared with mud and traces of tears. In any case, she looked quite a ss.
"Xiao Hua, what are you laughing at..."
Lin Xinglan noticed Tang Xiaohua’s softly smiling expression and couldn’t help asking with suspicion.
Song Lili didn’t speak, instead she just patted Lin Xinglan’s head, and then continued to watch the sunrise, the only short rest they got. To be able to take in such a breathtaking view was a luxury in itself...
"Ali, why didn’t you wake for the sunrise? Put on your clothes."
"I saw you were sleeping soundly. I didn’t have the heart to disturb your sweet dreams."
She leaned gently back into Wen Nian’s arms... It was their fourth year of marriage, everything was quietly changing, but she was adamantly refusing to face or confront it.
"Wen Xiaonian... with the election imminent... you still have the leisure to accompany climbing mountains..."
He stretched his arms and held her tightly, "I was just thinking... we haven’t gone on a trip just by ourselves for a long ti..."
Hearing this, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad...
Happy that he still thought of her despite being so busy.
Sad... unnoticed, ti was passing in his busyness, and the mories between the two were turning blank, no longer like in their youth when in an instant or a turn of the head, they could conjure up vivid images of their ti together.
From when the sun peeked out until it fully rose, words fernted in her mouth. Her heart rate sped up, unease settled in, but it wasn’t in her nature to keep words hidden and guarded,
"You said... after you step down as President, we would travel the world together, really travel the world, just pure traveling the world..."
"Mm."
His faint response reached her ear.
They were so intimate that even with just a syllable, she could hear his hesitation.
"When?"
She pressed on with the question.
"We are still young, there’s plenty of ti ahead of us..."
"You don’t have to run in this election."
"Lili, being the President... it’s not just an identity, a position, it’s more than that..."
"Ha ha... alright, don’t talk to about those profound things. I don’t understand, nor do I want to."
She laughed foolishly, with genuine naivety!
"Lili, you’ve always been smart, always supporting from behind. You should know why I continue to run for reelection..."
"Wen Nian, do you want to hear the truth from ?"
"..."
He didn’t speak, but she still opened her mouth,
"I don’t know why you want to keep running. You better not say it’s for ... But no matter what, as long as I still have the strength to support you, I will. So... you don’t need to explain anything to ."
After all, Wen Nian’s decisions were sothing that Song Lili never had the right to question or the ability to shake.
