Chapter 458: Together
Le Wan’s heart skipped a beat for a second before she shook her head and refused.
“Since you said that your second wish is related to me, then as the person involved, I think I should sincerely fulfill this wish. Otherwise, what should I do if the gods don’t continue to bless me?
Zhai Jing thought to himself that his second wish was to be with Le Wan and be happy. Strictly speaking, this was his personal wish. In fact, it had nothing to do with Le Wan, so she didn’t need to bear this karma.
Unfortunately, Le Wan was very insistent.
“No, you climb, I have to climb too.”
There was no other way. She couldn’t watch Zhai Jing climb the mountain alone while she leisurely took the cable car up. Although doing so would make her physically relaxed, the psychological pressure was still very great, so she insisted on climbing the mountain with Zhai Jing.
Zhai Jing looked helplessly at her exquisite and delicate shoes that were a few centimeters high.
“Let me make this clear first. If you can’t climb up later, I won’t be able to carry you.”
Le Wan had just checked. Although the mountain wasn’t very high, it still had nearly six thousand steps. Although the path wasn’t steep, it would still take more than three hours to climb up at a normal pace.
At the thought of this, she felt a little guilty. However, when she heard Zhai
Jing’s words, Le Wan became angry. She snapped,
“Even if you’re willing to carry me, I won’t let you.”
What a joke. This wasn’t a TV series or a novel. How could an ordinary person carry such a heavy person while climbing a mountain?
Besides, Le Wan was also a little unconvinced. When she was working part-time, her highest record was more than 60,000 steps in a day. So, she didn’t believe that she couldn’t climb down the 6,000 steps.
Secretly cheering herself on, she looked down at her shoes. Mama Le’s words were still ringing in her ears. “As long as we don’t climb a mountain,” and they really came to take pictures while climbing the mountain.
Le Wan’s heart ached for her feet and the shoes.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Jing took out a cloth bag from his backpack and took out a pair of soft and comfortable sneakers.
Le Wan was shocked.
“You even prepared your shoes in advance! So you really planned to climb the mountain, right?” She pouted unhappily. “Then why didn’t you tell me in advance so that I could be prepared?”
Zhai Jing looked away guiltily.
“The internet says that if you ask a girl to go hiking on your first date, it’s very likely that you’ll be treated as sick and rejected.”
Le Wan was speechless. “So you decided to act first before saying anything?”
Zhai Jing led her to a stone bench and sat her down. He then squatted down to help her change her shoes.
Le Wan quickly retracted her legs.
“I’ll change myself. There are so many people watching, so I’m a little shy.” Zhai Jing could only sit down at the side and explain to her,
“I came here today to fulfill my wish, but the most important thing is that I want to pray under the marriage tree with you.”
Last time in Wade Town, they had listened to the pastor of the church and wanted to go up the mountain to look for the small wooden house. At that time, Zhai Jing knew that the priest was bluffing, but because Le Wan didn’t know about it at that time, she believed the priest’s words.
Therefore, Zhai Jing had always had a thought in his mind, which was to make up for the regret he had last time. That was why he insisted on going to the Taoist temple. There was a marriage hall in Qingfeng Temple that worshipped the Matriarch) and there was a cluster of Matriarch Trees in the middle of the Taoist temple.
Hence, he wanted to go there with Le Wan to say goodbye.
Upon hearing Zhai Jing’s explanation, Le Wan patted him earnestly.
“As a young man with a proper upbringing, you can’t indulge in feudal superstition.”
Zhai Jing grabbed her hand and placed it in his palm. Then, he clasped his fingers together, as if he wanted to hold this happiness firmly in his palm and not let it escape.
“Because I’m with you, I’d rather believe that there really are gods in this world.”
Le Wan felt warm and sour at Zhai Jings serious attitude.
“You’re making me look like I’m not sincere. It looks like I’ll have to donate more money later.”
“Then remember to help me donate more.” Zhai Jing smiled.
Le Wan looked at him in disbelief.
“You’re even trying to save money?
Zhai Jing nodded seriously.
“After all, I’ve found a rich girlfriend. I still have to freeload.”
“Sigh, since you’ve said so much, if I don’t help you pay, wouldn’t my identity as a rich woman be fake?”
Le Wan changed into her new shoes and bounced on the spot.
“You picked these shoes very well.”
Whether it was the design or the color, she liked them very much..
