CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 421: XITAN WATERFALL

"Sister Xiao Yue, look over there," Lian Qingyang was taking pictures for Tang Yue while guiding her on how to pose for even better-looking photos.

But Tang Yue didn’t pay him any attention and continued to admire the magnificent natural scenery.

She sometimes chatted with Zhang Tingyu and other times with Bai Qing, laughing and talking along the way.

Only Yu Zhaodi spoke the least.

"Tyg, up ahead is the Xitan Waterfall. There are three parts to the Xitan Waterfall, and the second one is the most beautiful," Cheng Feng was a native of Jing City and had visited Yan Mountain many times, so he knew exactly where the most beautiful sceneries were.

"If it’s just rained and then cleared up, there can even be rainbows behind the waterfall. That’s when Xitan Waterfall is at its most beautiful," said Cheng Feng, who was naturally handsome and sunny-looking. Coupled with his cheerful personality and warm smile, he was hard to resist.

"Xiao Yue, shall we go see the waterfall? I heard there are several beautiful ones ahead," Zhang Tingyu suggested, wanting to take Tang Yue with her.

However, Tang Yue was interested in taking photos with Lian Qingyang, as well as some landscape shots. She said, "Tyg, you guys go ahead. We’ll follow in a bit."

"Okay!" Cheng Feng looked excitedly at Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment, just her and Cheng Feng... But she didn’t hesitate for long before agreeing. After all, the area was full of Jinghua students, and she could see classmates everywhere. What was there to worry about?

Having made up her mind, Zhang Tingyu didn’t dally and immediately went to see the waterfall with Cheng Feng.

Tang Yue and the others were still taking pictures. Seeing Zhang Tingyu and Cheng Feng leaving, she asked, "Sister Qing, what do you think of Cheng Feng?"

Although Tang Yue wasn’t sure exactly what Bai Qing’s status was, she was certain that Bai Qing had more social experience than her and probably had a more discerning eye for people.

"He’s no simple character," Bai Qing replied briefly. Seeing Tang Yue’s confusion, she added, "His family background is likely not simple, but he seems to be genuine towards your friend."

Bai Qing had been through a lot in life, saying she clawed her way out of a pile of corpses wasn’t an exaggeration. From the moment Cheng Feng started up the mountain until now, his eyes hardly left Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu almost twisted her ankle earlier, and it was Cheng Feng’s quick reflexes that supported her. One can pretend to be something they’re not, but subconscious actions and the emotions in someone’s eyes can’t lie.

"That’s good," Tang Yue felt the same way, which is why she deliberately created opportunities for them.

Xitan Waterfall is one of the most beautiful spots in Yan Mountain. Upon reaching the waterfall, praises of nature’s beauty abounded from the visitors. Afraid of catching up to Zhang Tingyu and the others, Tang Yue and her companions took their time, thoroughly enjoying each waterfall.

At the mountain top.

"Wow, the sun seems to be right above us." Qin Anyu was amazed when reaching the mountain peak, feeling like the sun was overhead, the scene opened up splendidly before her eyes. After the clouds parted and the fog lifted, Yan Mountain’s true face was revealed.

Climbing high and gazing far off, there was a sentiment akin to standing at the top and looking down at all the smaller peaks.

After looking around for a while, Qin Anyu began to wonder where Tang Yue and the others were.

"I wonder when they’ll reach the mountain top," Qin Anyu sat in a gazebo at the peak, and a cool mountain breeze wafted by, with the gentle sunlight warm on her skin, it was very comfortable.

"Chu Hong, do you think if we had taken the same path as Xiao Yue and the others, we would have met up with them by now?"

After waiting for half an hour, Qin Anyu began to feel sleepy at the mountain top. There were no other tourists around, just her and Chu Hong, along with a few staff members.

She did bring a lot of snacks, but it wasn’t fun eating alone.

"We started our ascent later than they did, and besides, there are many people on that side. Where would you find Xiao Yue?" Chu Hong handed over a bottle of milk, saying, "Have some of this, it’s your favorite."

Qin Anyu glanced at it and began drinking the milk. The sour and sweet milk was indeed her favorite. She said, "We have also climbed the mountain for half an hour."

They climbed from another side where the car could drive to the foot of the mountain, and then after half an hour of climbing, they reached the peak.

"Alright, but are we just going to wait like this?" Qin Anyu’s eyes rolled curiously.

"How about we go for a walk and take a look first?" Chu Hong suggested, "There is a plank walkway over there, it’s especially beautiful."

"I’m not going." Qin Anyu shook her head. The plank walkway was indeed good-looking and beautiful, but she was somewhat afraid of heights. Even the slight elevation of the stairs made her feel as if she was about to fall off at any moment.

Chu Hong said, "Or we can go to see the Moon Lake, the koi fish in Moon Lake are also very beautiful."

"You can even feed the koi fish there. When the time comes, a whole bunch of fish will surround our boat. Just thinking about that scene is beautiful." Chu Hong spoke with particular charm, and her words appealed to Qin Anyu’s desires.

Before, she was very fond of those koi fish.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to choose a boat." Chu Hong stood up, intending to seize the opportunity of them being together.

"What if Xiao Yue arrives, how will she know where we are?" Qin Anyu wanted to go but was worried that Tang Yue would not be able to find them.

Chu Hong said, "That’s easy to handle."

Soon after, Chu Hong went to find the staff, and after communicating with the staff, she came back.

"Have you settled things with the staff?" Qin Anyu asked as she saw Chu Hong giving her an ’OK’ gesture.

Chu Hong replied, "Yes, it’s settled."

"Oh, okay then." Qin Anyu did not expect that even though Chu Hong and the staff had exchanged words, the staff did not know Tang Yue either.

Unless Tang Yue asked the staff, even if she arrived at the mountain peak, she still wouldn’t know where Qin Anyu was.

At Moon Lake, as soon as Qin Anyu got there, she was captivated by Moon Lake and the koi fish in the lake.

Moon Lake was huge, much to Qin Anyu’s surprise. She didn’t expect to find such a large lake not far downhill from the mountain peak. On both sides of the lake, there were many beautiful little boats, which looked very ancient in style.

Qin Anyu excitedly chose a boat, hastily sat in it, bought a bunch of food for the koi, and began feeding them.

As soon as the food was scattered, many koi swam over and gathered together. Koi of various sizes and colors looked like they were scrambling for food, which was particularly pretty to watch.

Xitan Waterfall.

Tang Yue and her company stayed here for a good half hour, taking in the beautiful scenery of Xitan Waterfall.

"Zhaodi, you keep looking to the east. Do you recognize someone there?" Tang Yue asked curiously. Her gaze fell on Yu Zhaodi, who had appeared to zone out looking to the east several times since arriving at Xitan Waterfall.

East, there was nothing wrong with that. Why was Yu Zhaodi staring in that direction all this while?

"No." Yu Zhaodi shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then counter-asked, "By the way, the man in the white shirt I saw at your house last time, is he really your fiancé?"
