CHAPTER 155: CHAPTER 155: NARROW ROADS FOR ENEMIES

When they reached the top of the mountain, there was a small observation deck.

Ye Qian walked up first, holding Gu Yi’s hand.

Ye Fu and Ye’s mother followed the two of them.

Ye Hao walked behind them alone.

When they reached the observation deck, there were already quite a few people there, so they slowly walked toward the edge of the deck.

Looking at the small boats below, they seemed like toy boats.

Ye Qian was particularly excited once she got up there.

"Sister-in-law, looking down from up here feels amazing. The people below look like little ants."

Ye Qian gazed at the scene below, thinking no wonder people always say you should look far when facing problems, standing high up and looking into the distance makes you feel your heart open up.

It’s just encountering someone not so great, what’s the big deal?

Ye Qian let go of Gu Yi’s hand and walked to another upwind spot.

Ye Hao saw Ye Qian move away, so he naturally shifted next to Gu Yi.

Since entering the park, he had been wanting to hold Gu Yi’s hand.

Now he finally had the chance.

Gu Yi noticed his little plan but didn’t say anything.

The two exchanged a look and smiled knowingly.

This scene was within Yang Lin’s sight, making her extremely furious.

She truly couldn’t see it before; Gu Yi from the village sure has a way of being alluring.

Even when in public, the two were so openly affectionate.

Who knows what Gu Yi might do when no one’s watching, Yang Lin didn’t even want to imagine.

People can be so peculiar sometimes, always finding excuses for the ones they love.

Even though Yang Lin saw it was Ye Hao who reached for Gu Yi’s hand, she still blamed Gu Yi.

As more people crowded the observation deck, Yang Lin didn’t greet them.

Instead, she stood behind the human wall, observing them through the gaps.

Watching the two of them interact, the more she watched, the angrier she became.

She took two steps forward, pretending to trip, and forcefully lunged onto the person in front of her.

The person in front, due to inertia, was about to fall onto Gu Yi.

Ye Hao quickly stood in front of Gu Yi to block, pulling her behind him with one hand while using the other to support the person who was about to fall.

"Thank you, thank you, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you see someone in front and still pounced over?"

The man in his forties thanked Ye Hao after.

Then turned around and found Yang Lin.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my foot slipped just now, are you okay?"

Yang Lin, seeing the man was quite fierce, didn’t dare to retort and quickly apologized.

The man, seeing Yang Lin was a young girl, didn’t pursue further.

"Be careful next time, there are many people here, and we’re at a height; if something happens, it would be a big deal."

However, the man still admonished Yang Lin in the end.

Yang Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Wang Li, who came with Yang Lin, also apologized from the side.

Ye Hao just glanced over their way once and then turned back to check on Gu Yi.

"Yiyi, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, it’s just that there are too many people here, let’s go down."

Ye Hao didn’t mention Yang Lin, and Gu Yi pretended not to see her too.

Actually, with one word from Yang Lin, Gu Yi recognized her voice and guessed she must have done it on purpose just now.

The best revenge against an enemy is to be stronger than them and ignore them.

"Alright, let’s go down."

Ye Hao saw Gu Yi was fine and thought it was better to go down early anyway.

This place is small, with more and more people; it’s not safe if they were to bump into something.

Ye Hao called his parents and Ye Qian to go down the mountain together.

After Yang Lin finished apologizing, she saw Ye Hao and the others already going down the mountain.

"Xiao Lin, you know those two just now, right?"

Wang Li used a declarative sentence.

When they came up, Yang Lin was in a good mood.

Reaching the top, even when she talked to Yang Lin, Yang Lin didn’t reply.

Wang Li looked up at Yang Lin and found her especially angry.

At first, Wang Li thought Yang Lin might be having a bit of a temper tantrum because of the crowd.

Unexpectedly, she saw Yang Lin deliberately push someone, and Yang Lin was focused on the couple all along.

"Yes, he’s the person I’ve always had a crush on, if it weren’t for that woman, we would have definitely been together."

Wang Li studied psychology; Yang Lin thought even if she tried hiding it from Wang Li, it wouldn’t work.

Might as well be honest with her; this way, Wang Li might sympathize with her.

"No wonder, have they gotten married?"

"Yes, his family forced him to marry."

Wang Li didn’t think Yang Lin’s words seemed untrue.

Yet from Ye Hao’s attitude toward Gu Yi that she saw, Wang Li felt there was some inconsistency with what Yang Lin said.

Wang Li didn’t say more, she had come there to enjoy herself and didn’t want her mood to be affected by others’ affairs.

Yang Lin initially thought she had found someone to confide in.

Who knew when she looked over at Wang Li, she was already enjoying the scenery.

With her family conditions good and having studied abroad, no matter how upset Yang Lin was, she didn’t show it.

Instead, as if nothing had happened, she smiled and went over to discuss the park’s environment with Wang Li.

Gu Yi and the others went down directly to line up for the boat ride.

It was nearly noon by the time it was their turn.

Initially, the park’s staff would rest at noon.

But seeing there were too many people in line, they decided not to take a break.

So they let Gu Yi and the others board the boat.

Gu Yi and the others were a group of five.

They split into two boats, one with Gu Yi and Ye Qian, another with Ye Hao and his parents.

"Sister-in-law, I can be with mom and dad, you should be with my brother."

Ye Qian thought it was just playing on the lake in the park, it’s quite safe, she could take care of her parents.

And it was rare for her brother and sister-in-law to have the chance to go out together, being together would be nice.

"Let’s let Ye Hao stay with mom and dad."

Gu Yi thought safety should come first.

"Yiyi, just do what Qianqian said, it’s not dangerous here, you and Hao Hao enjoy."

Ye’s mother suddenly spoke up.

"Then let’s go, let me take you to the boat."

As soon as Ye’s mother finished speaking, Ye Hao held Gu Yi’s hand and headed toward the boat.

"Can Qianqian manage with mom and dad?"

Gu Yi was still a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."

Ye Hao boarded the boat first, extending his hand to support Gu Yi.

Gu Yi looked back and saw Ye Fu and Ye’s mother also getting on the other boat.

Alright, then let’s do it that way.

At first, when Gu Yi got on, she was a bit scared, tightly holding Ye Hao’s hand.

"With your courage, how could it be without me by your side?"

Ye Hao also held her hand, smiling as he spoke.

"It’s because you’re too heavy, so the boat feels tilted, if it were just Qianqian and me, I might not be scared."

Gu Yi didn’t want to give Ye Hao the chance to laugh at her, so she pushed the blame on him.

"Alright, it’s my fault, I’ll sit more in the middle."

Ye Hao deliberately moved a little closer to Gu Yi, scaring her to hold the edge of the boat firmly with her other hand.

"Don’t scare me, okay? People scaring people can really be terrifying."

When Ye Hao settled down, Gu Yi glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I won’t scare you, nothing will happen with me here to protect you."

Ye Hao looked at Gu Yi’s face, smiled, and gently ruffled her hair.

But once they were seated and took off, the wind softly brushed against Gu Yi’s face.

She suddenly felt a sense of freedom.
