Su Wan didn't say anything and followed the walking group. She changed her name to Su Zi.
Everyone took good care of her. Probably because there weren't many girls, they were especially concerned about her.
The mountain range stretched as far as the eye could see. The snowy mountain in the distance was covered in pure white snow. The air was so good that it felt strange. Because she was used to the smog in B City, she was a bit worried here.
Worried that she liked this place so much that she didn't want to go back.
Along the way, she could hear the group members talking. Many people came and didn't want to leave. Or, they would come again every year. There were also many people who had been on a pilgrimage.
Many people knelt all the way to the temple to see the living Buddha.
But Su Wan only felt tired.
Although she always exercised for the sake of her health, it was incomparable to walking on foot.
Thankfully, her endurance wasn't bad.
The old man caught up to her and said, "You look much better than you look."
"Thank you, old man. I can't take it either."
"Hehe, young lady, you have a good temper. Many young ladies nowadays can't make it. They have a bad temper, especially someone as pretty as you. Young lady, are you married yet?"
"No …"
"Do you have a partner?"
"No …"
"Ah, look. This is my son. He's about the same age as you. He's been working for a few years and still hasn't found a partner. I urged him but he didn't look for one. He probably hasn't met someone as good-looking as you. Take a look."
Saying this, the old man handed the photo to Su Wan.
Su Wan was speechless. She looked at the handsome boy and laughed dryly. "He's … quite handsome."
She was a bit shy. She had never encountered something like this before so she didn't know how to deal with it.
Thankfully, the people in front quickly came to help.
"Ah, Old Wu, seriously. Why did you introduce someone to your son? My son doesn't have a wife either. Come, Little Su, take a look at my …"
The two started arguing and Su Wan felt even more awkward. She quickly ran to the front.
The local group leader smiled and said to her, "These people can't wait to bring a beauty to their home. But you're so good-looking. You really don't have a boyfriend?"
"Nope …"
"We'll be there soon. I'll introduce you to a handsome guy."
"…"
"Hey, don't look at me like that. The handsome guy I'm going to introduce to you is definitely a handsome guy. He's not any worse than a superstar. He's the most handsome guy here, and there are so many young ladies chasing after him to marry him. It's just that his personality is too solitary, and he's not easy to get along with. He's good with us men, but whenever he meets a woman, he'll have a sharp tongue.
Su Wan smiled. Superstar?
She had seen many of them.
But sometimes, a boyfriend doesn't just have to be handsome.
However, it was hard for her to reject his good intentions.
"Thank you in advance."
"Of course, I won't introduce anyone else to you. I just think that you're a little girl. You're honest, cute, and … you're indeed a good match for our Banto."
"His name is Bantu?"
"Yeah, he's teaching here. The children really like him. He teaches English and he's really good at it. He came here on foot too and decided to stay."
Good at teaching English?
She had also met one who was exceptionally good at teaching English.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Su Wan, who was too tired, gulped down water.
The group leader called inside.
"Hey, where's Bantu? I brought a beauty for him."
"What beauty?" A dark-skinned girl peeked her head out unwillingly.
"Why do you care, dark-skinned girl?"
"Hmph, I care. You men only know how to cause trouble for Bantu."
"Heh, enough. You care about him but he doesn't care about you. Go to the side."
"You …"
Su Wan could tell that the girl wasn't old. She was dark-skinned, probably because of her skin color. She didn't look ugly but she was strong.
Su Wan smiled and continued to call the people inside. The girl looked in Su Wan's direction.
Then, with a stomp of his foot, he entered the room.
"Bantu, be careful. Girls who are too pretty are scourges. My mom said that."
"Bantu, don't listen to her. Hurry up and stop tidying up. Come out and take a look."
A tall figure walked out.
His honey-colored skin looked especially healthy under the strong UV rays.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked over.
Su Wan also raised her head. When she saw him, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Gu …"
She almost cried out, but she quickly covered her mouth.
She looked at him in shock.
Gu Jingyu.
Why?
Was he the Bantu they were talking about?
She hadn't seen him for a long time and he looked much healthier. His hair was messy and he wore the dark-colored ethnic clothing. He looked like …
He looked like a Kangba man, so strong.
But his gentle and sexy eyes were still the same as before. One look and she fell for him.
Gu Jingyu … Gu Jingyu …
No one knew where he had gone.
However, he just stayed here quietly and didn't go far, right?
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Heh, I told you. Bantu is really handsome. Are you in a daze?"
Everyone looked at the two teasingly.
Gu Jingyu reacted first. He smiled and turned around to pat the group leader. Then he took off his gloves and tossed them to the side.
His smile that showed his teeth was really nice.
Su Wan looked at him and felt that her eyes were starting to moisten.
And him.
In the blink of an eye, he walked to the side.
When the person next to him saw this, he giggled and said, "Alright, alright. Everyone else, move aside."
The group leader also felt like this was a game. He looked at the two ambiguously and pulled the black lady away.
The black lady was unwilling but she was still pulled away.
Su Wan looked at Gu Jingyu. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Why, why did you …"
Why were you here?
Gu Jingyu was the first to laugh.
"You came here. Where's your work?"
"I … I rested for a month."
Gu Jingyu smiled and looked behind him before pulling her in.
"Let's go. It's too sunny here. If you get tanned, Li Xiao will probably scold you to death."
To artists, their skin and appearance were still very important.
"Yeah, he's so naggy." Su Wan couldn't calm down for a long time.
They entered a simple room.
She could see that there were some daily necessities stacked neatly inside.
On the wall, there were all kinds of photos. He was active in them.
Next to him were textbooks and notebooks.
With a single glance, his life was already vivid in his mind.
It was simple but fulfilling.
Gu Jingyu said, "Drink some. You must be tired after walking all the way here."
"I'm not tired." Su Wan looked at him.
As long as she could see him, everything seemed unimportant.
Right now, she was only excited. How could she feel tired?
