Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Easy Mountain Climbing (12/25)
Almost everyone on the boat had a spot, and as soon as Mei Mengzhen boarded, she promptly found a seat where she couldn’t see the water and settled down. Shortly after she sat down, the boat started moving. The already pale-faced Mei Mengzhen grew even paler. Pei Ziyu, concerned by her appearance, asked, "What’s wrong, Zhenzhen, is it getting worse?"
"No, there’s no other feeling, just my head spinning." Mei Mengzhen finished speaking and suddenly remembered the Spiritual Spring Water in her space. If Spiritual Spring Water could cure so many ailments, could it also cure seasickness? She took out her insulating cup from her bag and used her thoughts to replace the regular water in it with Spiritual Spring Water. A few gulps of Spiritual Spring Water and the spinning sensation in Mei Mengzhen’s head was instantly cured.
Although using Spiritual Spring Water to cure seasickness might be a bit of an overkill, the effect was indeed fantastic.
Taking a deep breath, Mei Mengzhen’s head finally cleared up, and her complexion gradually became rosier. Pei Ziyu, seeing her improved complexion, truly felt relieved, "Your face looks a bit better now, is there still any discomfort?"
"No, just needed to drink some water." After saying this, Mei Mengzhen handed the water cup to Pei Ziyu and said, "You drink some too."
Pei Ziyu wasn’t the fastidious type, especially concerning anything used by Mei Mengzhen. As she handed over the cup, he took it and drank a big gulp. But as soon as he tasted the water, he immediately noticed that it was different from the water he usually drank, "This water... it feels exceptionally clear, the flavor is quite different from what we normally drink, with a hint of sweetness and it’s quite tasty. What kind of water is this, mineral water?"
Mei Mengzhen didn’t expect Pei Ziyu’s taste to be so sensitive. She explained, "Yes, it’s water from Xiyuan, but it’s not supplied to the public. Of course, the source wouldn’t tell me, but Brother Tianyu and Yiran haven’t even drunk this water. Usually, only Chenchen and I drink it, but if you want, I can supply it to you."
Pei Ziyu smiled and said, "For you to supply me, I would need to be in Jiangcheng, right? Otherwise, it’s not easy to deliver when I’m traveling around. Let’s talk about it when I come back."
Mei Mengzhen didn’t insist. She was willing to let Pei Ziyu drink the Spiritual Spring Water, but she didn’t want other people to know about it, so the fewer people knew the better. Naturally, it would be even better if there was no need to discuss water delivery, "Just finish the rest of the water, there’s not much left anyway, and it will lighten the load."
After she spoke, Mei Mengzhen took out some snacks from her bag and began eating while enjoying the scenery on the lake. It wasn’t long before the boat reached the other side of the lake. Once off the boat, they faced the steepest part of the mountain hike for the day.
Looking up at the rugged mountain, Mei Mengzhen suggested, "How about we eat some snacks before we climb the mountain?"
Pei Ziyu chuckled softly, his face filled with indulgence, "Zhenzhen, didn’t you just finish some snacks? If you still want to eat, it’s fine to have some more."
"Let’s have some. I need the energy to climb the mountain."
What followed was another round of rest and snack time. Due to their leisurely pace on the mountain hike, they reached the top without much effort. Pei Ziyu said, "I never thought climbing a mountain could be so relaxing."
"Ah, how did you climb mountains before, going directly to the top in one breath? There’s no need, isn’t it better to climb leisurely like this?" Mei Mengzhen felt that one needn’t push oneself too hard when climbing a mountain. What difference did it make whether one rushed to the top or slowly made one’s way up? In the end, reaching the top was all that mattered.
Once on the mountain top, they spent their time leisurely with snacks again. However, the scenery from the mountain top was truly spectacular. After taking many photos on the mountain top, Mei Mengzhen hesitated over which way to descend.
There were three options: one was to walk down the mountain, two was to grass slide halfway down before walking the rest of the way, and three was a chute which also led halfway down before walking. The second and third options were definitely much more comfortable. Plus, it was the end of the day, and the workers also wished for everyone to descend the mountain quickly.
After some thought, Mei Mengzhen chose to take the slide down the mountain. The slide stretched between two peaks, allowing people to slide straight down, with the thrill of not being able to see the bottom.
Accompanied by the shrill screams of ’ah’ from the people, one by one slid down like dumplings being dropped into water, and after bumping heads at the bottom, made their way down the mountain.
When they got back to the car, both Mei Mengzhen and Pei Ziyu felt relaxed and their stomachs full. Pei Ziyu asked, "Zhenzhen, where shall we go next? Are we eating dinner tonight?"
Mei Mengzhen didn’t want to eat, but she couldn’t just consider herself, "Do you want to eat tonight? Let’s find a place to stay first and maybe eat later. We’ve had a lot of snacks, I’m not hungry right now."
Pei Ziyu thought the same, "Yeah, I’m not hungry at the moment. Let’s go."
Since they hadn’t made prior arrangements, they could only use their phones to look for nearby hotels. There were no Star Hotels around, mostly simple Inns and Homestays, and conditions were surely not that great. Mei Mengzhen was worried that Pei Ziyu might not be used to it, "Brother Pei, can you stay in those hotels? The environment might not be very good."
"What do you think of me, Zhenzhen? I’m not that picky. I’ve stayed in even tougher conditions before, don’t worry, but I’m worried you might not be used to it."
"I can get used to anything."
Both were worried about the hotel conditions, but when they arrived, the environment wasn’t as bad as imagined. However, Mei Mengzhen was puzzled. On their trip, Pei Ziyu had booked two separate rooms.
Holding her room card and standing at her door, she looked at Pei Ziyu standing at the next door and called out somewhat puzzledly, "Brother Pei."
Pei Ziyu turned to look at her, and just when he thought she would ask something, Mei Mengzhen closed her mouth again, "Never mind, let’s go in first, we’ll drop off our luggage and then have a walk around. I saw a Lamp City not far from here."
Pei Ziyu nodded, and when the two came out of their rooms, it was ten minutes later.
As they came down the stairs, Pei Ziyu, seeing Mei Mengzhen’s somewhat sullen expression, quickly asked, "Zhenzhen, what’s wrong?"
Mei Mengzhen glanced at him, feeling even more upset inside.
Without Mei Mengzhen saying anything, Pei Ziyu felt somewhat uneasy. After they walked a while on the road, Pei Ziyu asked again, "Zhenzhen, what’s wrong? Have I made you unhappy?"
Mei Mengzhen glanced at him and bluntly said, "Yes, Brother Pei, you’ve upset me."
Pei Ziyu was taken aback. He had no idea when he had upset Mei Mengzhen, "Zhenzhen, what did I do wrong? Tell me, so I have a clue."
