"It's just narcissism!"

Rong Xiyi adjusted the hat on her head.

Today, Rong Xiyi was wearing a short sleeve top and slight flared jeans, which really complimented her figure. Calling her a slight flared jeans goddess wouldn't be overstating it; her large hips made the jeans look great.

Beside her, Xia Xiyao wore a short sleeve top and denim hot pants, giving off a slightly cool vibe. Her long legs were eye-catching, and even women passing by couldn't help but stare.

Xu Lin hadn't talked to her yet.

Ning Yuhuan was wearing a long sleeve top with straight-leg jeans, which also looked very nice.

In Xu Lin's opinion, black stockings, jeans, and sweatpants are the top three outfits for pretty girls, even beating out JK uniforms, though this was just his personal view and not representative.

Soon, everyone started climbing the mountain.

At the beginning, there was a concrete road leading up the mountain, but it didn't go straight to the top; instead, it only reached halfway. The road stretched two to three kilometers, quite a distance, and going uphill made it tiring to walk those kilometers.

Rong Xiyi and Xia Xiyao both leaned on walking sticks. After two kilometers, their pace had slowed down. Xia Xiyao seemed a bit better, her stamina superior to Rong Xiyi's, who looked exhausted, stopping frequently and feeling like retreating.

Ning Yuhuan, on the other hand, was carried by Xu Lin after less than a kilometer, completely sparing her from walking.

It was Saturday, and many people were climbing the mountain, including the elderly, women, and children.

Some couples or spouses saw Xu Lin carrying his girlfriend, and those women also wanted their boyfriends or husbands to carry them. So many tried to imitate, but not all men were willing to carry their partners, especially some who had been married for a long time or middle-aged couples, who felt even a kiss would lead to nightmares at night.

"Look, he's carrying his girlfriend, so romantic, and you deadweight man, can't even pretend!"

"Will you carry me or not? If you don't, I'm going down now!"

"Won't carry me, right? Then I'll find another man to carry me!"

"Screw you, go ahead and find another man! Let's see who's lying on the ground, you or me!"

Little did Xu Lin know that because he was carrying Ning Yuhuan, many couples were having conflicts.

Of course, the men were envious of Xu Lin too. Look at him, carrying a gorgeous woman on his back, with two more beauties following him, making him the envy of many.

For men, it's not necessary to have a woman, but having a beautiful woman by your side gives you immense pride.

Just like Xu Lin now, many men silently gave him a thumbs up.

Xu Lin and his group had no idea what others were thinking.

About an hour later, they finally finished the two to three kilometers of concrete road, but that was just halfway up the mountain. Next, they had to tackle the brick road and steps.

This path led straight to the mountain peak.

As for the temple Ning Yuhuan mentioned, it wasn't on this mountain top but on the other side of a fork in the road at the base of the hill.

Xu Lin and his group decided to climb the mountain first, then visit the temple to pray.

This latter half of the path was even more challenging, full of steps, steep, and after consuming much physical stamina and energy on the previous path, climbing this part was incredibly difficult.

Rong Xiyi wanted to give up. She looked at Ning Yuhuan on Xu Lin's back, suddenly feeling an urge to kick Ning Yuhuan off and take her place.

But that was just a thought.

Then she turned to Xia Xiyao, "Yaoyao, aren't you tired?"

"I feel okay!"

Xia Xiyao said she exercised regularly, waking up every day to run three kilometers, except when it rains.

"Yaoyao, you're amazing!"

Rong Xiyi wasn't an early riser, let alone someone who could stick to running every day.

Xia Xiyao offered, "Do you want me to pull you along?"

"No need, I can manage!"

Rong Xiyi took a deep breath and continued walking with her stick.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the foot of a particularly steep slope.

There were steps, but they were too steep, and some scared people climbed up on all fours. Many sat to slide down.

Rong Xiyi indeed felt a bit apprehensive about this path.

What about Xu Lin?

He walked up normally, but he shifted Ning Yuhuan from his back to his arms, letting her cling to him like an octopus. Xu Lin supported her with one hand and held her waist with the other, climbing up the mountain this way.

Ning Yuhuan's face was reddish, more so than before, with a charming beauty.

Especially remembering how Xu Lin tried this with her last night, carrying her around the room.

However, this required the man to have considerable physical stamina and some specific skills.

Luckily, Xu Lin wasn't lacking in any of these.

One can only imagine what Ning Yuhuan experienced last night.

"Why are you blushing?"

Rong Xiyi glanced at Ning Yuhuan with dissatisfaction.

At that moment, Ning Yuhuan glared back at Rong Xiyi, as if saying, "Don't mess with my man!"

Oh my!

She dared to challenge me!

Rong Xiyi chuckled.

"She actually glared at me just now!"

Rong Xiyi told Xia Xiyao, "I knew she was the scheming type!"

Xia Xiyao whispered, "I also feel she's not a simple girl."

"Definitely not simple, just a scheming girl!"

Rong Xiyi slightly frowned.

Just then, she wanted to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

But at that moment, she lost her balance and fell backward.

"Ah, Xu Lin!"

Rong Xiyi instinctively cried out, and Xia Xiyao reached out to catch her.
