Chapter 144: 102, A conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy, that the goddess wants to watch a horror movie.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
As soon as he got in the car, Luofeng’s hand couldn’t stay still and landed on those fair, slender legs. He even started to caress them.
"No, but when I first saw you today, I was surprised you weren’t wearing a miniskirt. Such a good-girl look! Turns out it’s because your parents came with you, huh?"
"Oh? So, in your memory, I love to dress sexy, huh?" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes.
"No, when you’re dating me, you always dress sexy, deliberately trying to seduce me," Luofeng teased.
"Drop dead. Seduce you? As if!" Lin Ruoxi let out a coquettish snort and suddenly said, "By the way, are you really planning to let them meet your parents?"
"Otherwise?" Luofeng said with a smile.
"True, otherwise you wouldn’t have arranged the meeting for the day after tomorrow." Lin Ruoxi nodded. She truly hadn’t expected Luofeng to be so decisive.
"So, shouldn’t I get a reward then?"
SMACK.
Lin Ruoxi planted a kiss on Luofeng’s cheek.
"Let’s go, my fitness coach. I’ll take you somewhere fun."
"Where to?"
"Tianma Mountain. Time for some hiking."
In Shanghai, there are definitely mountains, like Xiao Kun Mountain and She Mountain, among others. However, compared to other places where elevations easily reach a few thousand meters, these are merely little guys.
"I’ve heard it’s quite enjoyable there."
Tianma Mountain has a long cultural history, being the eighth peak among the nine peaks of Song County. It is located about 10 kilometers southwest of She Mountain in Shanghai. The main peak is 98.2 meters tall, imposing and steep. The site is covered with lush forests and is the highest point in Shanghai. It is also the mountain with the largest forest area and highest elevation among the nine peaks and twelve mountains of She Mountain. It has two peaks, north and south, shaped like a celestial horse, hence the name. Species like black pine, Vernicia, and Moso Bamboo thrive and form forests.
It is said that during the Warring States Period, Gan Jiang of the Wu State forged his blades here. As recorded in ’Records of Mount Gan’ from the Yuan dynasty by Yang Weizhen, "It’s a common belief that Fuchai’s tomb and Gan Jiang’s mountain are one and the same." It was also noted in the ancient ’Illustrated Records’ that a person surnamed Gan lived here.
The two arrived at the scenic area, paid the fee, and even hired a guide.
Time passed, and by the time they descended from Tianma Mountain, it was already four in the afternoon. Unwittingly, they had spent three hours wandering around the mountain, mainly because the guide was quite the talker. At each scenic spot, they had to stop for at least ten to twenty minutes to hear the stories behind them. Thank goodness it wasn’t a scorching day. Otherwise, it would have been miserable.
After the tour, the two made their way to the scenic area’s parking lot. Lin Ruoxi had driven on the way there. Heading back, she promptly took the driver’s seat.
Seeing Lin Ruoxi rubbing her calves, Luofeng smiled and said, "Shall I drive instead?"
"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi rubbed her legs pitifully. After walking around the mountain for a few hours, she was indeed feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Could it be due to slacking off on fitness recently? Or, more likely, was it because she was truly in love? Otherwise... Indeed, the saying ’a mind unburdened by romance allows one’s skills to naturally flourish’ applies not only to men but to women too.
Seeing this, Luofeng scooped Lin Ruoxi up in a princess carry.
Lin Ruoxi’s face immediately flushed red, like a cooked crayfish.
Her first-ever princess carry, and it wasn’t beside a grand romantic waterbed, but in a parking lot. Nothing like what she had imagined.
"Put me down, there are a lot of people around," Lin Ruoxi wiggled her legs and pushed with her hands.
"What’s wrong with people being around? Isn’t it good to make them a bit jealous?"
Speak of the devil. The people around, seeing Luofeng carrying a plane ticket beauty from the co-pilot seat, were indeed so envious they ground their teeth. It was bad enough she had a tall figure. Her legs were also voluptuous. As if that weren’t enough, her Tuanzi were also D-cups. And her face was unreasonably beautiful.
Luofeng felt as if he could hear many envious barks from the people around.
After Luofeng settled Lin Ruoxi into the co-pilot seat, he went to the driver’s seat.
They left Tianma Mountain.
Luofeng took Lin Ruoxi for a ride on the Ferris Wheel.
After having their fill of fun, they returned to Lin Ruoxi’s rented little house in Shanghai. Lin Ruoxi’s parents had already prepared dinner there. After all, although this place was small, Lin Wangshu felt that having a meal at home was cozier.
「Around eight o’clock in the evening」
The four of them had some drinks. Luofeng was downstairs, beginning to say goodbye to Lin Wangshu and Lin Wangshu.
"Little Luo, don’t see us off. No need to find a designated driver either. We’ll just find a place to stay near the airport so we can leave easily tomorrow!"
"Then... then shall I hail a taxi for you?" Luofeng, following their instructions, obediently offered.
"No need, you go back."
"Go back?" Luofeng was startled for a moment, understanding that Lin Wangshu meant for him to go back to Lin Ruoxi’s small apartment.
"Mhm, okay." Luofeng waved his hand in greeting and then turned back again.
"Hey, why have you come back?" Lin Ruoxi opened the door, surprised.
"My father-in-law told me to come back," Luofeng chuckled. And besides, wasn’t your initial desire for me to come back?
"Huh?" Lin Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
"No, no, you can’t stay here tonight..." Lin Ruoxi could see Luofeng’s intentions. Actually, she was inclined to go along with them, but a girl had to maintain her composure!
"Hey, it was your dad who asked me to come back," Luofeng complained, dissatisfied.
"He meant for you to go back to your own home, not to come back here."
"So what can I do? I’ve been drinking; I can’t drive."
Luofeng then sat on the Simmons mattress in the small house. Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes but let him be.
"I’m so tired today!" After tidying up the dishes from the meal, Lin Ruoxi flopped down on the Simmons mattress, complaining.
「A little later」
The two of them suggested watching a movie. Lin Ruoxi opened her laptop. Luofeng, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly pulled Lin Ruoxi into his arms. It was a bit awkward at first, but she quickly got used to it.
"Hey, beauty, what’s the meaning of this? We agreed to watch a movie, and then you put on a horror film?" Luofeng was completely speechless.
But he glanced at her desire checklist.
Luofeng knew. Today? Damn it? Had he become the prey?
"Come on, you’re a boy, and you’re telling me you’re scared?" Lin Ruoxi said irritably. "Anyway, I’ve heard it’s interesting, so let’s watch."
Luofeng hugged Lin Ruoxi’s slender waist, resting his head on her shoulder, and watched the plot intently. Lin Ruoxi also seemed quite curious about the upcoming plot, staring intently. Her hand gripped Luofeng’s fingers tightly.
When the movie reached a scary part, Lin Ruoxi almost screamed, and she kept holding on to Luofeng tighter and tighter.
Luofeng just chuckled to himself. This hunter, thinking she was the hunter? Little did she know she was actually the prey.
The hour-and-a-half movie finally ended.
"Luofeng, aren’t you leaving yet?" Lin Ruoxi hesitated for quite a while before she finally spoke up. She really didn’t want to say those words.
"Yeah, I’m leaving. Be careful, okay? I have a feeling the story from the movie might come true and visit you in the middle of the night."
"Go away, I’m not scared at all." Though her words were brave, her beautiful big eyes kept glancing outside the window.
"Alright, a kiss." Luofeng reached out, held her slender waist, and kissed her.
After they kissed for a good four or five minutes, Lin Ruoxi finally pushed Luofeng away. "Alright, you should get going now."
"Yeah." Luofeng nodded. This time, during the kiss, she didn’t even try to remove his roaming hand. The feel... was really nice.
"Hey, Luofeng, have you arrived?" Lin Ruoxi turned off the light and, lying on the Simmons mattress, sent Luofeng a voice message.
