Rejected at the Beginning,Turning to Embrace a Charming Wife

Chapter 28 – I am not young anymore, I am an adult

He Ju and Si Hua glanced at each other, and at the same time, they saw excitement in each other's eyes.

It was the off-season, and there weren't many people on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Si Hua stood at the 4680m altitude monument wearing sunglasses, and she made a victory sign at He Ju!

He Ju understood immediately and took out his camera, aimed it at Si Hua. In that moment when the picture was taken, He Ju's heart also warmed slightly.

Suddenly, Si Hua rushed over and took He Ju's camera: "You stand there, I'll take two pictures for you."

He Ju: "Ah? I can just forget it, I'll take pictures for you instead..."

Si Hua directly pushed He Ju to stand in front of the monument and proudly told him, "My photography skills are also great, hurry, strike a few poses."

Seeing Si Hua's high spirits, He Ju had no choice but to comply.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Si Hua's voice of praise occasionally came over: "Yes, that's it, very handsome~"

"So beautiful~"

"He Ju, look at me!"

He Ju subconsciously looked over, and Si Hua immediately took a picture. Behind him was the snowy mountain, and He Ju's slightly bewildered eyes seemed to be seeking an answer in the vast snow-capped mountains.

Si Hua lowered her eyes and sighed. In this fast-paced era of love, Su Ran was already very lucky to receive He Ju's passionate love, more lucky than many others in the world.

But...

Not everyone would cherish it.

Seeing the fleeting emotion in Si Hua's eyes, He Ju suddenly felt that she, who was so bright, shouldn't be so sad.

Just as He Ju was about to say something, Si Hua randomly grabbed a passing young lady: "Hello, young lady, can you help us take a picture?"

The young lady happily nodded and even excitedly whispered to Si Hua, "You and your partner are so compatible~"

Si Hua felt both happy and sad in her heart: "We're not a couple yet—"

The young lady immediately widened her eyes, looking surprised.

Si Hua quietly told her, "But he's the person I've been secretly in love with for many years."

The young lady gave Si Hua a look of understanding: "You step aside, give me the camera."

Si Hua saw that He Ju didn't want to admit it, so she didn't insist, just gently smiled and teased him: "You're just a little kid, and you still call me sister?"

He Ju was amused by this: "Hey, come on, I'm not young, I'm an adult."

Si Hua tiptoed and reached out to ruffle He Ju's hair: "Indeed, you're much taller than me."

He Ju was a little dazed for a moment, no one had ever ruffled his hair like that before.

After saying that, Si Hua turned around to look at the scenery, while breathing in the oxygen.

Perhaps due to altitude sickness and lack of oxygen, He Ju felt a little dizzy and his heart was beating fast. He quickly picked up the oxygen and took two breaths, then he completely calmed down.He Ju took out his camera and snapped several sets of photos of the snowy mountains as keepsakes. He also posted a nine-grid collage of the mountain's beauty on his social circle, including a solo picture of himself and one of Si Hua.

The caption read: "The mountain does not see me, yet I behold the mountain; letting go is but a moment's affair."

Around four in the afternoon, having had their fill of sightseeing, they casually ate some bread and prepared to descend the mountain.

Thus, the afterglow of the setting sun accompanied their steps, stretching their shadows long.

By around seven in the evening, the two finally returned to the ancient city.

Having walked and stopped throughout the day, Si Hua was indeed exhausted. They skipped strolling through the old streets and went straight for a bowl of small wontons and shrimp dumplings at a roadside stall.

As Si Hua popped the fragrant wonton into her mouth, her taste buds were instantly gratified, her eyes comfortably squinting like a lazy little cat.

He Ju couldn't help but laugh, "Is it really that delicious, Sister Si Hua?"

Si Hua's voice softened, "It's delicious, you should try it."

So, He Ju hurriedly took a bite and gave his approval, "Mmm! Indeed, it's very good."

While eating wontons like a little hamster, Si Hua said to He Ju, "You don't know what life was like for me abroad. It was either bread, salad, or pasta. I really missed the food from Hua Country..."

He Ju asked, "Then why not return to China to work?"

Si Hua's hand holding the spoon paused briefly before returning to normal, and she simply said, "Because the company is overseas."

He Ju nodded thoughtfully, "Then why come back to China?"

He Ju was like a curious baby, amusing Si Hua to the point of laughter.

Going abroad was because in China, she couldn't help but want to see He Ju, whose attention was always on Su Ran. Every day for her was like being slowly tortured.

Now, she had returned because after so many years, she wanted to fight for her own future.

He Ju, you are like a little sun, your love always so generous and bright, never hidden. That's why you'll never understand that unrequited love is a turmoil that Si Hua faces alone.
