Chapter 67: I really like you
"Go yourself." Xia Zhi laughed and scolded, but that pitiful and expectant gaze, couldn't he understand it? But even if he understood, what could he do about it?
Is it really as she thought and carried her up?
"I don't want to, I'll just sleep here." Zhan Zhu Zhu still wanted to struggle a bit. Hug hug ah hug hug ah!
Xia Fei Hong successfully moved Xia Li Qiu upstairs, and as soon as she came down, she saw someone lying on the sofa. What she said earlier wasn't unheard of, did she really want to sleep here? Apparently not.
"Go quickly and listen." Xia Zhi continued to persuade with kind words. He didn't have the courage of Fei Han, and it was more suitable for him to win people over with virtue and reason.
"No way! No way!" Warmed up and hugged the sofa, refusing to let go. Li Qiu from upstairs also poked his head out to look downstairs.
Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and glanced at Xia Fei Han; Xia Fei Han furrowed his brow slightly.
Clean and neat, he reached out with a "slap" and slapped her small buttocks, which were raised high. As she let out a pained cry of "Ah yo", Summer Snow took advantage of the brief moment when she loosened her grip to turn her around and pull her into his own embrace.
Hugged! Zhan Liuliuli was overjoyed, just thinking of hooking his hands up to hug his neck even tighter, a handsome face appeared before his eyes.
Even if they're twins, even if it's sudden, but expressions are something that can never change!
"Ah! What are you doing?! Let go, let go!" Warbler shrieked, her two hands quickly grasping Xia Feichan's ears: "Save me! Kidnapping a civilian girl!"
Die rather than be unchaste! How can she tarnish her purity in front of Xia Zhi Gege...
"Honestly!" Xia Fei Han slapped her buttocks again, and her weight was enough for him with just one hand. Just now, he didn't know why, but thinking that she wanted Xia Zhi to hold her so much, it made him extremely uncomfortable. One discomfort easily led to impulsiveness, and impulsiveness...
He didn't understand his own thoughts, and he was also afraid that others would see through his thoughts, so he tried hard to express himself as cool, ruthless, and normal. In fact, Xia Zhi and Li Qiu's reaction to this move seemed to be nothing special except for the initial shock, and they looked more like they were watching a play.
Xia let out a breath of relief, but her hands holding Zhan's tightened unconsciously.
Three or five steps away, struggling was useless, and after wailing twice, he was thrown to the side of Xia Lixiu.
Xia Liqiu stretched out his hand and sympathetically pulled her rolling body to a stop, giving her a very sympathetic expression.
"It's not cool in the summer! Come on, let's have a one-on-one fight!" Waruwaru was still fuming, it was too much, how did he feel like he was being thrown away like trash.
Xia Fei's head was slightly lower than hers, she turned her body sideways, half-turned back, gave a handsome angle, and hooked the corner of her mouth: "Do you want me to sleep with you?"
......The room suddenly fell silent......
Xia Zhihe and Li Qiu felt that Fei Han had found a new way to restrain the bean.
The feeling of being defeated is... no feeling at all... If it were in the past, she might have just shouted "Bring it on!" But now?
In her mind, various scenes emerged: in the study, he held her hand tightly; in the bedroom, he pressed down on her with his bare upper body; under the rain, she and he hugged each other, transferring body heat...
"Ah!" A loud cry of collapse, burying her head in the quilt.
Xia Zhi still thought Xia Fei Han was as usual, and gave him a thumbs up.
Xia Fei couldn't bear to look directly at his upright and gentle gaze, her eyes darting back and forth as she flipped the light switch.
The carriage was quiet, with only the sound of four people's breathing left. Before long, two of them became soft and rhythmic, as Xia Zhi and Xia Liqiu had fallen asleep without a care in the world.
The girl upstairs is tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Today was the first time she had been in such close proximity with Xia Zhi, even if it was just the four of them in a room, which would have been enough to make her happy for half a day in the past. But now, all she could think about was Xia Fei Han.
All the scenes and shots with Xia Feihan, at this moment, are bombarding her mind in a mess. She had always thought that her mind was only used to store Xia Zhi's brother, but now, she tried to use Xia Zhi to suppress Xia Feihan, but failed.
It must be because I'm too angry... Zhan Zhu Zhu comforted herself, tossing and turning on the bed.
But Xia Fei Han downstairs, listened to the upstairs her careful and suppressed rustling sounds, habitually wanting to accumulate annoyed emotions, but the soft lines on his face, however, were presented unguardedly in the dark night.
Holding the sleeping bag in her arms, soft and small like her little body. Xia Fei Han closed her eyes and sank into a dream.
The happy days continue like this. Chengdu - Ya'an - Erlang Mountain - Dadu River - Yajiang River - Jinsha River - Lancang River - Upper Nujiang River - Yajiang - Litang - Batang - Mangkang - Zuogong - Banda - Basu, all the way laughing and playing. Except for a few replenishments, the car continued to move forward along their predetermined route. The purpose of tourism is not to arrive, but to feel.
On the fifth day, the car arrived in Bomi. It is said that from June to August, Tibet has the most beautiful scenery and the highest oxygen content, and the rainfall is also very rich, it seems that there is indeed some truth to this. The sky was raining with not small raindrops, and the narrow mountain road was even more muddy, but they had now arrived at the only way from Bomi to Nyingchi - Tongmai Sky Ladder.
Tongmai Tianxiang is known as the "world's second-largest mudslide", with loose soil and rocks along the mountain road, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and rivers. In case of wind, rain or melting ice and snow, it is prone to landslides and rockfalls, also known as the "death section".
Tongmai Sky Road has knife-cut stone walls on one side and a thousand-foot cliff with rolling river water on the other, with only a 2-meter-wide dirt road in between. The entire line is single-lane, and vehicles must stick close to the mountain wall to slowly pass through. There is also a famous 102 landslide section. The so-called "102" refers to the southern line starting from Batang, with one station per kilometer, and Tongmai is exactly at the 102nd station. This road is extremely narrow, single-lane, and often has armed police directing traffic with flags, signaling vehicles to wait for their signal before proceeding in an orderly manner. During rainy seasons, armed police often escort vehicles until the end of the Tongmai section. Originally, this road was only two meters above the river surface, but after each landslide, the road surface is raised higher. Now it's already dozens of meters above the river surface. Due to the mountain body being in a state of constant activity, steel-reinforced concrete retaining walls are built into the mountain, with each layer 2-3 meters high, and there are now 16 layers, but landslides still occur.
Xia Zhi was after all just a novice driver, incomparable to Xia Fei Han who loved racing cars. So when they arrived here, he voluntarily gave up the driver's seat. Even so, the three passengers were still a bit frightened.
Xia Zhi was originally going to sit in the front passenger seat, but the two girls in the backseat were really worried and didn't dare to let him go. In the end, the brave one climbed into the front seat.
At a critical moment of life and death, it's also possible to temporarily put aside the small contradictions that are annoying Xia Fei.
Zhan Zhan's face was full of heroic and generous expression, and with a mighty pat on Xia Fei Han's shoulder: "Hey, Xia Fei Han, don't be afraid! If you accidentally fall into the river, I'll definitely save you!"
"We're about to hit turbulence," Xia said nonchalantly, instantly causing someone to quiet down, fasten their seatbelt tightly and lean back against the chair.
The road to Tongmai is much worse than what Zhanzhu imagined, it's the worst road she has ever walked on - none other than the mountain road down from her own backyard orchard, which now looks like a highway in comparison!
The road to Tongmai is very narrow, winding through cliffs and without guardrails. Drivers need to be extremely careful, especially those driving along the riverbank. If they are not vigilant or do not grasp the vehicle's condition accurately, it is easy to slide down; below the road is the turbulent Yarlung Zangbo River, with rapid whirlpools, making survival unlikely if one falls in; on rainy days, there may be mudslides on the mountain, which can bury vehicles; even on non-rainy days, large boulders occasionally roll down from the mountain and can hit vehicles.
The two people stopped talking because they were driving on the outer lane, Xia Zhi drove with extra care, but the speed was still relatively fast in Zhang's eyes.
Be careful! Zhan Zhu Zhu wanted to remind him out loud, but seeing Xia Fei Han's serious and focused expression, she didn't dare disturb him.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Xia Fei Han's gaze swept over to her. Still saying she has a big temper? Her cheeks were almost as pale as snow. ——He wanted to laugh at her, but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it and jump up, so he comforted her instead.
"Focus on driving!" Waruwaru grabbed the handrail beside him: "Pfft, pfft, pfft, crow's mouth, who said I want to die?!"
Children's words are innocent, great auspiciousness and great profit!
And found a small weakness of hers. Xia Fei Han's tense mood relaxed a bit, how did he feel more and more that she was a paper tiger with a fierce appearance but weak inside? "If I'm going to die, I'll take you with me."
He just wanted to express that everyone is tied to the same rope as ants, but when he said it, it seemed to have a different meaning.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his words came to an abrupt halt. His palms, gripping the steering wheel tightly, seemed to be sweating slightly. He felt a twinge of regret for his thoughtless remark, hoping that she wouldn't think of what he didn't want to think about or acknowledge.
But suddenly, the tension and fear of death that had been building up inside me dissipated... I felt a strange sense of courage, but I didn't want to attribute this change in emotions to the person beside me.
For a moment, silence; focus on what's in front of you. Yet, peripheral vision is always paying attention to those around you, silently and wordlessly.
Among the four people, Xia Liqiu was the most relaxed, seemingly without a single heartbeat along the way, with one hand holding the armrest and the other holding the camera, not missing any place that could be photographed.
"Be careful on Liqiu." Xia Zhizhen was afraid she would fall out of the window - or at least her camera.
He doesn't seem very scared either.
Sharing the same joys and sorrows, sharing life and death together. Is this what they want to experience?
The goddess of fortune seemed to be blessing them, as in the nearly two hours it took to get through Tongmao, the rain turned into small droplets and they only had to wait for cars three times. The most dangerous part was when they met two large trucks at a mountain pass turn, their car was already very close to the edge, after moving for half a day, they finally passed by safely.
Zhan Zhan let out a long sigh of relief, excitedly unfastening his seatbelt and placing it on Xia Fei Han's hand: "We made it!"
Xia unconsciously withdrew her hand and kept a distance from her, which was an instinctive reaction.
Zhan Zou belonged to the typical "once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten" type of person. Once the danger had passed, she started to show off again: "It's not that bad, it seems like it wasn't particularly dangerous throughout, are you trying to scare me on purpose?" Based on Xia Fei Han's character, she thought this possibility was very likely.
Scare her? Xia Fei Han hummed, "Two weeks ago, on a sunny day, three vehicles fell off here. A large bus with 33 people was destroyed and no one survived; a large truck had only the driver who was lucky to be blocked by a big tree and survived; an off-road vehicle with five people was directly swept into the Indian River."
"Stop it! Stop it!" War's face began to pale again, they still had a return journey ahead of them!
After passing through Tongmai, everyone decided to take a good rest before continuing on their journey. Zhan Zhu Zhu only then realized that there were actually many people along the way who were cycling, hiking, or making pilgrimages. With her personality, she was naturally curious and wanted to go up and chat with them; if not for considering Xia Fei Han's dislike of strangers, she might have even pulled a few along to walk together.
Among them, there are those who come to play and experience life, as well as those who devoutly face their faith. In Tibet, life is even more precious, and people naturally do not want to mention death. However, in the face of their respective beliefs and convictions, so many lives are apparently willing to be sacrificed.
Walking through the Lulang Forest, I saw the golden mountain of Namcha Barwa Peak in the distance. Looking back from afar, my heart suddenly felt a thousand emotions, as if I had understood something and felt something.
Crossing the Himalayas and Nyainqentanglha Mountains, two giant dragons stretch from west to east, meeting with the Hengduan Mountains in the east, forming a ring of mountains. Nyingchi lies quietly in the embrace of these three mountain ranges. As one of the few remaining untouched lands on earth, transportation in Nyingchi is not very convenient, and cars are the only means of transportation.
But it's all worth it anyway.
The scenery is too beautiful.
The car had stopped, and the tent hadn't been set up, only two large mats were laid out on the grass, and the four people sat or lay down, enjoying the blessings of nature.
Endless pastures, lush green grasslands and patches of wetlands, yaks and sheep herds leisurely scattered among them. Clouds sometimes cover the blue sky, sometimes transform into beautiful white clouds floating on the continuous mountains, a scene of snow-covered highland grasslands.
Distant snow-capped mountains stand tall, with countless silver lights flashing under the blue sky as the sun shines down. Approaching the canyon, the mountain ranges rise and fall, intersecting and overlapping, with a vast expanse of forest, towering pines and cedars, and a sea of greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. At the foot of the mountains, the Niyang River valley is lush and beautiful, with picturesque scenery, truly a magnificent landscape painting that changes with the seasons. Who would have thought that ancient, desolate Tibet could have such a place, like a piece of Jiangnan in the north?
"How beautiful." Xia Liqiu was completely enchanted.
In the late afternoon, the car arrived at "Zhongliu Zhitong", where the river water was clear and the current was rapid. A huge stone stood in the middle of the river, with the green river water rushing forward and backward, splashing against the stone and flowing down. The blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and green water transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, making people forget about the rules that couldn't be broken, such as not getting chilled or whatnot. They jumped down to the river valley and came into close contact with the clear and green river water, their red outerwear fluttering on the riverbank, adding a touch of magic to this earthly paradise. Xia Zhi followed closely behind, running quickly along the riverbank, capturing these beautiful scenes in his camera.
Xia Liqiu wasn't as mischievous as Xia Feihan, and they crouched together by the lake, piling up stones at the Mani heap. It was said that making wishes at the "Baxongcuo" Mani heap was very effective.
"Brother, what wish did you make?" Xia Liqiu closed his eyes, made a wish, and then looked at Xia Feihan in front of him.
Xia Fei's gaze was following the two figures running by the lake, and she replied casually, "Nothing, just accompanying you."
Just now, he wished for his family's peace and health, but why did her figure also appear?
"Summer brother! I like you so much!" A loud shout echoed through the mountains, bringing countless echoes.
In the afterglow of sunset, the lake surface is so calm. The warbler stands in the river water with its feet, hands clasped to its mouth, shouting out what's on its mind towards the distant great mountain.
The sky is blue, the lake water is clear, everything is so clean, it seems to be able to wash away all the dust in people's hearts. Zhan looked at Xia Zhi following behind him, looking at him holding up his camera and taking pictures of himself nonstop, his heart filled with joy, and he couldn't help but exclaim this sentence.
Yes, I really like him. She has always liked Xia Zhi Gege. Likes his warm smile, likes his gentle words, likes his doting eyes, likes the affection that inadvertently reveals, and even more likes his tolerance.
Xia Zhi slowly lowered the camera he was holding, and his clean heart was also etched with new marks by her shouting. The smile on his face gradually faded, condensed into his heart, slightly stunned, and then helplessly smiled bitterly.
Is this girl confessing? Well, she succeeded, because for the rest of his life, he will probably never forget that under such a blue sky and white clouds, there was a girl who swore to heaven and earth, I really like you.
I actually like you too.
Xia Zhi's face lit up with a smile again, and she pressed the shutter to capture the bright and cheerful smile.
Maybe I can't give you the same affection, but I will always be by your side and protect you.
"I love you! I love you!" The voice echoed through heaven and earth.
Not far away, Xia Feihan's stone fell to the ground.
In his transparent heart, there is something that wants to move and come out, he seems to understand a little, but can't grasp it.
Digression
The fan wanted to write a more romantic confession, but what if Xia Zhi became too sentimental and fell for someone else... so it's better to hold back.
