Chapter 32 Concentric Platforms and Concentric Locks
Pei Junhao never believed in these things in the past, but today, he inexplicably believes in this long-standing legend.
"Zhihan, let's go up to the top of the mountain, there's a good place there. Pei Junhao always held Mu Zhihan's hand and refused to let go.
"Well, what's the best place?"
"You'll know when you get there. Pei Junhao smiled mysteriously, put his arm around her waist and walked up the mountain.
The scenery along the way is very beautiful, the air is fresh, full of greenery, and there is an endless stream of tourists, most of them are young and cheerful couples, and the girls' faces are flushed with love moistened, one by one like blooming flowers.
An old couple with gray hair walked in front of them, very eye-catching, the old gentleman had been holding the old lady's hand, walking for a while and then taking out a thermos flask from his bag, making a cup with the lid, and then giving the old lady a cup to drink, holding her hand and continuing to walk.
After walking for a while, you may see that the old lady is tired, and hear the old gentleman say, "Honey, find a place to rest for a while before leaving." β
The old lady nodded, and the old gentleman found a stone under the big tree on the side of the road, took out the paper from his bag, wiped it on the stone, took out a thin cardboard mat, and helped the old lady to sit down.
Pei Junhao saw him take the food out of the back run, and fed it to his wife with a gentle smile.
"Zhihan, in a few decades, I will be as loving as you and this uncle and aunt. Pei Junhao said enviously.
Mu Zhihan was gloomy, and Pei Junhao suddenly squatted down.
"What are you doing, Jun Hao?" Mu Zhihan asked strangely.
"Carry you up the mountain. As he spoke, he lifted her on his back.
"No, it's going to be tiring. She smiled and wanted to come down.
"Don't move!" he threw her on his back and carried her all the way up the mountain, humming a leisurely song all the way.
Halfway up the mountain, Mu Zhihan saw that he was out of breath and wanted to come down, but he just wouldn't let him.
"Jun Hao, how tired you are, you are still singing, you can't breathe. Mu Zhihan said distressedly.
"I'm happy in my heart, I'm glad. Pei Junhao's hand holding her ass patted it lightly and said with a smile.
"Jun Hao, you see that your head is bubbling up, otherwise, let me come down, rest and rest and then carry it. Pei Junhao put her down, and the two hugged the side of the road to rest for a while, Pei Junhao insisted on carrying her, saying that he wanted to carry it all the way to the top of the mountain.
The mountain is very steep, and it is already very tiring to walk up alone, and then carry a big living person, and when he goes to the top of the mountain, Pei Junhao's whole body is soaked, and the mountain wind blows, and it is cool and swishing.
"Junhao, you're going to catch a cold. Let's find a place to change the clothes inside. β
"No, I'm in good health, what's more, with you by my side, I can't catch a cold. He said as he put his arm around her and took her up.
Mu Zhihan had to take out a tissue from his bag and wipe the sweat on his head and face for him, Pei Junhao had a happy face, took her hand and said affectionately: "Zhihan, look, I sweat, you will wipe it for me, so that I won't be tired." β
"Fool. Mu Zhihan glanced at her with slight disgust, pursed her lips and smiled.
Pei Junhao put his arm around her shoulder, pointed to the right and asked, "Zhihan, look!"
Mu Zhihan looked around, the clouds on the horizon were fluttering, and the surrounding undulating mountains were connected, the rising mist permeated the mountains, there was a wide river surrounded by the mountains, and the green mountains and green waters reflected each other in the vastness, such as entering a fairyland.
"It's beautiful, it's magnificent, the air is so fresh, it's like a place where the gods live. Mu Zhihan couldn't help but admire.
Pei Junhao pointed to the right and said, "Look at that." β
Mu Zhihan looked in the direction of his finger, on a boulder, there were several iron chains hanging on two iron stakes, and the rows of iron chains were full of all kinds of exquisite copper locks, which were shining golden and dazzling in the sun.
"Jun Hao, what is that?" she went over there curiously, and when she got closer, there were two names engraved on the copper locks, and Mu Zhihan looked at them curiously, and they looked like the names of a man and a woman.
"Zhihan, do you know what this is?" asked Pei Junhao.
Mu Zhihan smiled and shook her head.
"This is the famous 'concentric platform', the locks hanging on these chains are all called 'concentric locks', I heard that couples engrave their names on copper locks, hang them here, and drop the key off the cliff, this lock can never be opened again, and the hearts of two people will be locked together and will never be separated. β
Pei Junhao's eyes were full of tenderness, staring at Mu Zhihan, and said softly: "Zhihan, I want to lock our lives together, and from now on, we will never be separated again." β
He pointed to a nearby kiosk selling locks and said, "Come, let's go buy a lock too, engrave the name, and hang it on the 'Tongxin Table.'" β
"Junhao. Mu Zhihan screamed, and was pulled by Pei Junhao and ran towards the pavilion.
"Boss, buy a copper lock and engrave the names of 'Pei Junhao' and 'Mu Zhihan'. β
Mu Zhihan watched him in a daze, carefully chose a beautiful copper lock, asked the boss to engrave the names of the two, took the lock, took her hand and ran towards the 'Tongxin Terrace'.
He hung the lock on a chain on the very edge, looked at Mu Zhihan, who was standing in a daze, and said, "Zhihan, come here, press down and lock it together." β
Seeing Mu Zhihan standing there hesitantly, he said with a smile: "Are you looking at this too high, scared, not afraid, with me, I will support you." β
He came over and carefully helped Mu Zhihan to the bottom of the chain, held her jade fingers and pressed them gently, and the lock was firmly locked with a "click".
He threw the key in his hand under the cliff and shouted below: "I will never be separated from Zhihan again!"
His cheerful shouts echoed in the mountains, but Mu Zhihan's heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp blade, and tears swirled in his eyes.
Pei Junhao carefully helped Mu Zhihan get off the 'concentric platform', and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of Mu Zhihan around.
"Zhihan, you're hungry, come, I'll carry you down the mountain, there's a restaurant on the mountainside, and the taste is very good." β
"I don't have to carry it, I can walk on my own. β
"I like to carry you. Pei Junhao insisted on carrying her down the mountain.
"Junhao, apart from me, can you carry anyone else?" asked Mu Zhihan, who put her face on Pei Junhao's back.
"No, I've never carried a girl, Zhihan, you are the first and last, and I will not carry anyone else in the future. β
Mu Zhihan wrapped her hands tightly around his neck, her face was tightly on his shoulder, and she let the tears fall on his shoulder, afraid that he would find out, and she didn't dare to wipe it.
There is indeed a very clean and elegant restaurant halfway up the mountain, and the downstairs is already overcrowded, so the two of them went upstairs and chose a two-person booth to sit down.
"What is this?" asked a blonde girl in the seat in front of Pei Junhao with her back to him, pointing to the dish ordered by a tourist at the same table.
The waiter said vigorously, "This is a frog, frog, frog knows?"
Goldilocks seemed to speak a little Chinese and asked in non-standard Chinese, "What is a frog?"
"It's the ......," the waiter didn't know how to describe it, jumping on his feet, learning the movements of the frog, and cried out in his mouth, "Quack, that, frog." β
βfrogγ Bae Junhao told the blonde woman in the back, and the waiter threw a grateful smile at Pei Junhao.
The blonde woman also turned around, and suddenly covered her face and shouted, "Hao! Oh, MY GOD!
Bae Junhao also recognized the blonde woman and shouted, "Darlena!
Before his voice fell, the golden woman had already flown in front of Pei Junhao's eyes like a happy little swallow, and with a "flutter" on his face, a kiss mark was imprinted.
Mu Zhihan looked at them in astonishment, Pei Junhao hurriedly stood up and introduced to her, "This is my classmate in Cambridge, Dalena. Then he pointed to Mu Zhihan and said to Dalena: "This is Mu Zhihan, I ...... it."
Mu Zhihan stood up generously, smiled at Dalena and stretched out her hand, saying, "Hello! I am a friend of Junhao." β
"Oh, Hao, are all your friends so beautiful?" Dalena took Mu Zhihan's hand, and her smiling blue eyes shone like sapphire at Pei Junhao.
Mu Zhihan lowered her head and smiled: "Dalena, you are also beautiful." β
Pei Junhao smiled and said, "Dalena, you, an outdoor enthusiast, are traveling alone?"
Dalena shrugged and said, "Hao, thank you for remembering my hobby." β
"Since it's so fateful, why don't we sit together. Mu Zhihan was afraid that Pei Junhao would be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to propose, and Dalena clapped her hands and said: "Of course, Hao, if I meet you in your hometown, I will give you a good meal." Then he pointed at Pei Junhao and said with a smile: "This time, please!"
Pei Junhao nodded again and again: "Of course! Whatever you want to eat, just order!"
During the banquet, Dalena was very active, and she talked to Pei Junhao about her past at school, but Mu Zhihan couldn't interject, so she had to listen with a smile.
With the sensitivity of a woman, and from Dalena's ambiguous eyes, Mu Zhihan can be sure that Dalena must be in love with Pei Junhao, and she can't be sure if anything happened to them before, but she believes that this beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes is still in love with Pei Junhao.
Her heart was sour for a while, as uncomfortable as drinking a jar of century-old vinegar.
Mu Zhihan, haven't you already decided to leave him? Since you have decided to repay Chu Binxuan, in order to help Chu Binxuan's mother, who was deeply moved by you, fulfill her wish before her death, you have decided to leave, what kind of jealousy do you have?
However, the jealousy in my heart still came up irrepressibly, Dalena, Jun Hao and I have just three days, can't you let me leave with three days of beauty? Why do you have to appear in such a timely manner, why can't you wait for three days?
Mu Zhihan had the urge to cry, just to prevent Pei Junhao from finding out, and tried to forcibly hold back.
