Le Wanâs heart skipped a beat for a second before she shook her head and refused.
âSince 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 donât 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 didnât need to bear this karma.
Unfortunately, Le Wan was very insistent.
âNo, you climb, I have to climb too.â
There was no other way. She couldnât 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.
âLet me make this clear first. If you canât climb up later, I wonât be able to carry you.â
Le Wan had just checked. Although the mountain wasnât very high, it still had nearly six thousand steps. Although the path wasnât 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
Jingâs words, Le Wan became angry. She snapped,
âEven if youâre willing to carry me, I wonât let you.â
What a joke. This wasnât 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 didnât believe that she couldnât climb down the 6,000 steps.
Secretly cheering herself on, she looked down at her shoes. Mama Leâs words were still ringing in her ears. âAs long as we donât climb a mountain,â and they really came to take pictures while climbing the mountain.
Le Wanâs 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.
âYou even prepared your shoes in advance! So you really planned to climb the mountain, right?â She pouted unhappily. âThen why didnât you tell me in advance so that I could be prepared?â
Zhai Jing looked away guiltily.
âThe internet says that if you ask a girl to go hiking on your first date, itâs very likely that youâll be treated as sick and rejected.â
Le Wan was speechless. âSo you decided to act first before saying anything?â
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.
âIâll change myself. There are so many people watching, so Iâm a little shy.â Zhai Jing could only sit down at the side and explain to her,
âI came here today to fulfill my wish, but the most important thing is that I want to pray under the marriage tree with you.â
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 didnât know about it at that time, she believed the priestâs 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 Jingâs explanation, Le Wan patted him earnestly.
âAs a young man with a proper upbringing, you canât indulge in feudal superstition.â
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.
âBecause Iâm with you, Iâd rather believe that there really are gods in this world.â
Le Wan felt warm and sour at Zhai Jings serious attitude.
âYouâre making me look like Iâm not sincere. It looks like Iâll have to donate more money later.â
âThen remember to help me donate more.â Zhai Jing smiled.
Le Wan looked at him in disbelief.
âYouâre even trying to save money?
Zhai Jing nodded seriously.
âAfter all, Iâve found a rich girlfriend. I still have to freeload.â
âSigh, since youâve said so much, if I donât help you pay, wouldnât my identity as a rich woman be fake?â
Le Wan changed into her new shoes and bounced on the spot.
âYou picked these shoes very well.â
Whether it was the design or the color, she liked them very much..
