Chapter 76: Human Touch on the Mountain Summit
Ji Yunqi was like a little cat nestled in Ye Mingkong’s embrace, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Why was this son acting like this?
There were so many people here, why did he have to push her into his wife’s arms?
Ji Yunqi could already feel the gazes of everyone around her; this sense of shame made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
“Wife~ shall we try out the tent~” Ye Mingkong, with a mischievous grin, put his arm around Ji Yunqi’s slender waist and walked towards the tents.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xinrou, who witnessed all this, looked utterly incredulous.
Earlier, not knowing Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong’s identities, she had thought they were just an ordinary young couple, and they seemed quite normal.
But now, if she tried to fit the image of Uncle Ji into this little loli and the image of Aunt Ye into that young man, then everything… became exceptionally bizarre…
“Mom… why has Uncle Ji become like this?” Zhang Xinrou couldn’t help but ask Luo Yao.
She really couldn’t understand it; Uncle Ji, who was once so spirited and looked very imposing. How could he now…
Never mind, she couldn’t think about it anymore, it was truly too strange…
Luo Yao, with her arms crossed, looked at her daughter with a slight smile. “Everyone changes. Your Uncle Ji is a girl now, so she’s a little darling wife~”
“Hehehehe…”
…
“Ouch, so hard~” Ji Yunqi rubbed her backside, unable to bear it any longer.
Ye Mingkong put on a self-reproaching expression. “Sorry, wife, I should have been gentler. My fault.”
“Go away, don’t be so close to me.” Ji Yunqi pushed Ye Mingkong away, not wanting to be so close to this guy right now.
He was so hard.
He had even pushed her down onto the tent that hadn’t had its sheets and mattress laid yet.
One must know that the tent was currently set up directly on the bare ground. The snow had been cleared, and there was no padding. Ji Yunqi had fallen directly onto the ground.
How hard was the ground facing her? It hurt to bump into it!
“Alright, alright, my fault. It won’t happen again.” Ye Mingkong looked at the slightly angry Ji Yunqi with amusement. Although he had angered her, he was actually happy in his heart.
The fact that she could throw a little tantrum over such a small matter proved that Ji Yunqi’s thinking was gradually beginning to change. His gentle offensive was working!
It wasn’t long before Ji Yunqi was completely transformed into a qualified little darling wife!
After being forcibly embraced by Ye Mingkong, Ji Yunqi only struggled symbolically a couple of times before stopping her movements.
Her mind was also a bit chaotic…
Ji Yunqi didn’t know what was going on. Why did she always lose her temper now? She had such an attitude towards her son just now.
Although it wasn’t exactly a tantrum or an emotional breakdown in the true sense, she still experienced some negative emotional fluctuations.
This would have been absolutely impossible before. Her state of mind was very stable, and she would never have been provoked by a few words.
But now…
…
“Sizzle sizzle…”
“Hiss hiss hiss…”
“Mmm~ So fragrant~” Zhang Xinrou’s mouth watered as she looked at the freshly made… pre-packaged meal.
On any other day, she would have disdained pre-packaged meals, but today was different. In this vast expanse of white wilderness, being able to eat a pre-packaged meal was a rare delicacy.
As for health issues, they were not within Zhang Xinrou’s considerations. Eating a pre-packaged meal once in a while wasn’t going to kill her.
Looking around, Ji Chengyun couldn’t find her parents: “Xin Rou, have you seen my parents?”
“Didn’t they just go into the tent?”
Ji Chengyun frowned slightly. What were they doing in there? They had been in there for so long without coming out.
“Go call them for dinner, otherwise it’ll be completely dark soon.”
“Understood~”
…
As the sun in the sky set behind the mountain ridge, the sky grew darker and darker, until only the lights of the people on the mountaintop were still shining.
Ji Yunqi looked with some envy at a large group of people on the other side, laughing and chatting around a bonfire under a large tent. She wondered why she hadn’t thought of this.
Then, she saw a few of them glance at her, say something to each other, and then walk towards their location.
Just as she was about to get up, Ye Mingkong pulled her back onto his lap and made her sit.
“Let our son go and negotiate. You just stay here.”
Ji Yunqi pouted, her face showing her unhappiness, but she was helpless because Ye Mingkong’s arm was locked tightly around her, preventing her from moving.
“Hello, may I ask what’s wrong?” Ji Chengyun stepped forward and spoke to the man who had come up to them.
“I wanted to ask if you’d like to come and warm yourselves by our fire? It’s three groups of people gathered on our side, and with you, it’ll be four groups.”
Ji Chengyun finally understood when he heard this. So, the people on the other side weren’t a single group. It seemed this brother was someone who liked to make friends widely.
“Okay, we’ll trouble you then, brother.”
“Bah~ What are you saying? In this ice and snow, more people means more liveliness. Hurry up and come, I’ll get some chairs ready for you.”
“Okay, thank you, brother~”
…
After the brother left, Ji Chengyun returned to his family, a smile on his face. “Let’s go over there. That brother invited us to join the bonfire party.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunqi couldn’t hide her joy. In this ice and snow, she had wanted to go and warm herself for a long time, but under certain pressure, she hadn’t gone.
Luo Yao didn’t have much of an emotional change. For her, it was all the same wherever she was, as long as the people she cared about were by her side.
…
“Hahahaha, welcome, welcome!”
When the brother saw Ji Yunqi and her group arrive, he beckoned everyone to clap in welcome.
“Hello everyone~”
Ji Chengyun, leading the way with a smile, greeted everyone and then sat down in the seat arranged by the brother.
“Hey, Brother Ji, where are you guys from?” the brother asked curiously.
Ji Chengyun understood that he was being asked, so he looked up at the brother. “We’re from Rongcheng. We finally got this short National Day holiday, so we had to come out and have some fun.”
“Hahaha, what a coincidence, all of us here are from Rongcheng. It seems we’re really destined to meet.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“Let’s go out traveling together again if we have the chance.”
Ji Chengyun responded to the people who struck up conversations with smiles one by one. “Definitely, definitely. Don’t miss out next time.”
The bonfire party was held very lively. On this snowy mountain peak, it was also rarely filled with human warmth.
