Chapter 97: Mountaineering (2)
Lu Jiming took Lu Mingyuan to participate in a mountaineering competition held by some like-minded friends he met on the Internet.
"Ji Ming, come here!"
"That's right, come on, we're all waiting for you!"
After they got out of the car, they were almost there, and when they saw Lu Jiming, everyone else greeted him with a smile.
It's good to look at the popularity.
After Lu Jiming greeted them one by one with a smile, he introduced Lu Mingyuan to them: "This is my younger brother, Lu Mingyuan." β
"It's the first time he's coming to this kind of event, so please take care of it."
After knowing that he was Lu Jiming's younger brother, everyone looked at him very friendly.
Knowing the source of this friendliness, he tugged at the corners of his mouth, just repeated his name, and then said a few polite words, and then stopped talking.
He has been following the team and climbing this snow-capped mountain with everyone. At the same time, he also used a cold-blooded animal-like gaze to watch Lu Jiming's performance along the way.
I have to say that there are traces of how popular he is.
Along the way, he seems to have acted as the backbone and weather vane of the entire team.
He will look at the map, the map is all meticulous homework done before coming, he will be keen to recognize the correct direction when the terrain is covered by snow and cannot be distinguished, and the route he chooses is also the safest and shortest, he is also very lively along the way, almost everyone in the team can have a common topic with him, he also cares about the physical condition of each team member in detail, and asks everyone to stop and rest from time to time.
After walking all morning, the group finally came to the mountainside.
The terrain here is flat, so everyone stopped and simply ate some food brought in the bag to replenish their physical energy.
The team was all teenagers, and the atmosphere was very cheerful, and after a while, there was a fight, and some people snowballed and smashed each other.
Lu Jiming saw Lu Mingyuan sitting alone on the side, and came over to invite him: "Mingyuan, let's go, let's go play too." β
Lu Mingyuan smiled: "Brother, go ahead, I seem to have a little cold." β
Lu Jiming approached when he heard this, and said with concern: "You don't have a fever, right?" β
In fact, this is just a lie he made up at random in order not to participate: "No, it's just a little cough, nothing serious." β
Lu Jiming found a box of cold medicine from his bag, took out one, and poured a cup of hot water for him in a thermos cup.
Lu Mingyuan: "Brother, why did you go out once and bring so many things?" β
Lu Jiming said casually: "With so many people in the team, it is inevitable to encounter emergencies." β
Lu Mingyuan held the steaming hot water in his hand, but his eyes were cold.
It's so thoughtful.
The "snowball war" over there also quickly reached a white-hot stage, and the boys and girls were divided into two factions, and they fought happily.
Gradually, the boys had an advantage in physical strength, and there were more of them than the girls, so the four girls got the upper hand and were beaten "miserably".
In particular, a young girl with a pink hat covered her head and stepped back.
Seeing this, Lu Jiming stepped forward to block in front of the girl in the pink hat, and then picked up the snowball and hit the boy's team.
The snowball of his group was very strong and powerful, almost every shot, and with his help, the girls' side quickly took advantage of the comeback.
After this fierce "snowball fight", everyone had a lot of fun, and the boys joked: "Eh, Ji Ming, are you foul, men and women fighting, why are you standing on the girls' side?" β
Lu Jiming was not to be outdone: "Hmph, what else do you say, you are all bullying other people, there are few girls, who am I not helping them?" β
As he spoke, he carefully brushed the snow off the pink-hatted girl's head and clothes, and his lowered face was very gentle.
Someone started to heckβ
"Wow......"
"It turned out to be a sweetheart."
The girl in the pink hat was born delicate and clean, with a pair of fawn-like eyes, and her face was red when she heard it.
Lu Jiming's face also rose red, and he stopped the few people who were making trouble: "Don't talk nonsense. β
After a period of rest, it's time to start the next part of your journey.
It's not just who proposes to compete, teams of two to find rare items on the mountain, and whichever team finds the most will be the final champion.
In this way, the entire team was scattered, each looking for a target.
Lu Mingyuan looked at Lu Jiming, who was walking in front of him, and said, "Brother, do you like that girl?" β
Lu Jiming was surprised: "You...... How can you tell? β
"You borrowed a camera from her on the mountainside just now to take a picture, and your face turned red after just saying a few words, and you had a snowball fight together just now, it's really obvious."
Lu Jiming's face was embarrassed, is it really so obvious......
He looked around, and an innocent smile appeared on his handsome face: "Yes." β
He regarded Lu Mingyuan as a close brother, and told him his good opinion of her without defense.
Before they knew it, the two had climbed very high.
Lu Mingyuan exhaled a breath of white vapor and looked at all the plants covered in snow under the mountain.
Heavy snow cut them off.
"Did you confess to her?"
Lu Jiming's personality has always been hearty and generous, but when he talked about this topic at this moment, he rarely showed a shy look, lowered his head and shook his head with a smile.
"Not yet, we're still in school at this stage, and I don't want to delay her...... I want to wait until we go to college and then tell her. β
There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, his bright and beautiful eyes were curled, looking into the distance, with a yearning for the future, and said gently: "I can feel it, and she also has feelings for me." β
Lu Mingyuan responded lightly and did not speak again.
The love that has not yet sprouted......
What a pity.
The two finally reached the top of the mountain.
"Brother, look there."
Lu Jiming looked at it, it turned out to be a snow lotus, but the position was a little tricky, on the side of the cliff slightly down the steep bulge.
Lu Jiming's eyes also lit up, in this snow-covered ice and snow, this blooming flower is particularly precious.
Lu Mingyuan unloaded his backpack and after preparing everything, he was about to go down.
"Wait."
Lu Jiming carefully checked whether the foundation of the rope nailed to the ground was firm, and then pulled it a few more times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after not moving at all.
Lu Mingyuan saw his cautious appearance and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you often participate in this kind of activity?" You should have a lot of experience, why are you still so cautious? β
Lu Jiming bowed down to check the rope around his waist, and patted him when he found that it was indeed fine, with seriousness in his eyes: "This kind of thing, no matter how many times, you have to pay attention to it, safety is the most important." β
When Lu Mingyuan nodded, he smiled, gentle and clear: "This sentence was said by my mother." β
ββ¦β¦ My mother was actually very worried about me, so every time I came out, she would personally check all kinds of equipment for me. β
After he said this, he laughed again and waved his hand to him: "Okay, go down, my brother will show you from above, nothing will happen." β
Lu Mingyuan stepped on the side of the cliff, held the rope tightly in his hand, and slowly went down.
After a while, he came up amid Lu Jiming's incessant shouting.
"No, I can't find the angle, I can't get it."
"It's okay, it's your first time, it's already amazing to have the courage to go down."
Listening to his words, Lu Mingyuan smiled reluctantly, but his eyes were always depressed.
Lu Jiming looked a little distressed.
In his opinion, his younger brother suffered a lot when he was young, and finally returned home, and his father did not pay attention to him.
That's why he developed such a melancholy and silent character.
Now that he finally has what he wants, how can he, as an elder brother, disappoint him?
He smiled and rubbed Lu Mingyuan's head: "I'll try it." β
