Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Can’t Stand Hearing You Pant

“Li Beijue, I can’t do it anymore, wait, let’s rest for a bit.” Chi Enen had followed him climbing without stopping for a moment until they reached halfway up the mountain, and her physical strength had already run out. Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, her hands propped on her knees, gasping for air heavily while speaking between breaths.

The man walking in front stopped, turned back to grab her hand and actually dragged her forcefully to continue climbing upwards!

His falcon-like eyes were strong and resolute, looking ahead, his rosy thin lips pressed together once, “Chi Enen, don’t talk to me while climbing!”

“Hmm?” Right now, her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and she had no mood to think about what he said, instinctively retorting, “Why?”

The arrogant man suddenly paused, twisted his neck and, from his superior position, glanced down at her, indifferently uttering, “I can’t stand listening to you pant!”

——I can’t stand listening to you pant!

Chi Enen’s face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him without any deterrent effect. Couldn’t he think of something innocent for once in his life? It was just climbing a mountain and he had to relate it to that! She was utterly defeated!

She didn’t know if it was because of Li Beijue’s interjection, but as she felt both angry and amused, she suddenly found herself not as tired. Clenching her teeth, she looked towards the peak of the mountain, took several deep breaths to adjust her breathing, and started climbing again with renewed effort…

Climbing a mountain is a physically demanding activity, and it gets more tiring as you get closer to the end.

Chi Enen rarely exercised, so she got tired faster than the average person.

The clothes on her back had already been soaked with sweat once and had been dried by the breeze while climbing up the mountain. Towards the end, she felt as if her legs weren’t her own, just mechanically moving upwards.

Step after step.

Step after another step!

Finally, just a second before her calves cramped, she reached the peak of the mountain. The moment she arrived, she almost couldn’t control her body and slumped onto the grass, taking deep, coarse breaths, “Ah, so tired…”

Li Beijue had climbed up with her, but he was completely refreshed, nothing like her disheveled state. He found a spot, sat down beside Chi Enen, looked down at the scenery below, and said, “When I’m in a bad mood, I like to climb mountains. The higher you climb, the more tired you get. When you’re utterly exhausted, take a rest, and then look at the scenery below, and you’ll feel a sense of expansion. Your mood will also improve a lot.”

Chi Enen turned her head to listen to him, and after he finished speaking, she subconsciously turned to admire the scenery below the mountain, just like him!

A good half of Rainy City was in full view…

Unable to help herself, she stood up, walked to the edge of the mountain’s peak, and started gazing out.

The wind was strong at the peak, and as it blew past her cheeks, Chi Enen suddenly felt a moment of clarity. She suddenly realized she had figured out quite a few things—about Chi Ya and Chi Jianguo, as well as about herself and Li Beijue.

She turned back and called out excitedly, wanting to share with him, “Li Beijue, I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her wrist was already caught. The man, who had also stood up, pulled her wrist and led her to the other side, “Don’t speak yet, follow me.”

He was tall with long legs, and Chi Enen staggered after him to the other side.

Only then did she notice, there was a cabin at the peak of the mountain. Li Beijue seemed very familiar with the place and told her, “Wait for me here, I’ll be right back.”

With that, he used his fingerprint to open the door of the wooden house.

There was a clattering noise inside, and the tall, handsome man pulled out a hot-air balloon, “Chi Enen, come help.”
