Chapter 53: Climb Up

Su Ruan sat on the bed as she woke up, thinking about the recurring dreams she had. Just like in the previous dreams, Su Ruan would still see that boy transformed into a dragon.

However, these days, she would also dream about how the dragon would try to talk to her, telling her that he was not going to hurt her.

Her brow furrowed as she wondered why was she having these dreams and what it was trying to tell her.

After thinking about the dream for a while, Su Ruan stood up and walked over to the window.

Habitually, she would open the window to look at the scenery while allowing the cold air to help her clear her mind.

She took a deep breath and paused. Su Ruan scanned around her surroundings but could not find anything strange.

The frown on her face deepened.

Somehow, she had this feeling as if someone was watching her.

However, Su Ruan quickly discard that thought away. It was still dark outside and she was on the second floor. There was no way that someone would be watching her. Everything should be her imagination, right?

Just then, her phone on the table rang. Su Ruan turned off the alarm and remembered that she had promised her cousin, Ma Yu Xi that they would go hiking on the hills.

The girl had persuaded her to go and watch the sunrise together.

Su Ruan turned around and went into the bathroom. After she had cleaned up a little bit, Su Ruan went downstairs and ran into her grandpa.

Ma Hao Dong was organizing some documents in the living room when he saw his granddaughter. He looked at her in surprise and spoke, "You're up early."

"Mhm…Yu Xi said that she will take me hiking and watch the sunrise."

Ma Hao Dong was finally at ease upon hearing her words. The look on his face turned gentler. "The sunrise scenery is one of the best. It's good that the two of you can get together to watch them. Just be careful when you climb up. Don't force yourself if you are too tired."

Su Ruan smiled. "Grandpa, have you been on the mountain before?"

"Of course, I have." Ma Hao Dong laughed happily. "When I was younger, I used to climb up the mountain with my friends. Back then, I could climb until the third peak without any problem."

Su Ruan stayed to listen to her grandpa talking about his experience in hiking as she waited for her cousin to show up.

When Ma Yu Xi finally showed up, she was surprised to find a fresh-looking Su Ruan chatting with their grandpa in the living room.

"Hey, I thought I was early. I didn't expect that you would wake up earlier and got ready."

Su Ruan smiled. "Didn't you say we would go and look at the sunrise? I didn't know how difficult it would be to climb up. Of course, I have to wake up earlier to get ready."

The cousins exchanged a few words with their grandpa. Once everything was ready, Su Ruan hopped on the pickup truck and ride shotgun as her cousin drove to the entrance.

The journey took them almost ten minutes. When they arrived, there were a few vehicles parked in the parking space.

Su Ruan jumped down from the vehicle and felt the cold air blow on her face. At this time, she was glad that she was wearing thick clothes. There was no doubt that the air on the mountain would be colder.

Ma Yu Xi watched as her cousin jumped around to keep warm and chuckled. "Don't worry. You will feel warmer once we climb up."

"I hope you are right." She grabbed her bag and looked at Ma Yu Xi in puzzlement. "Are we not going up?"

Ma Yu Xi glanced at her watch. "Let's wait until another group shows up. It would be safer to go with another group."

Su Ruan was not familiar with hiking. Naturally, she would agree to whatever her cousin said.

After waiting for five minutes, a sedan parked beside them, and a group of three boys and one girl came out. The moment they saw Ma Yu Xi, their eyes the group started to greet Ma Yu Xi and exchanged a few words.

It turned out that the group was Ma Yu Xi's ex-schoolmates. Seeing that her cousin knew the group, Su Ruan began to feel more at ease.

Su Ruan looked at the group of boys and thought that one of them seemed a little familiar. After pondering about it for a while, Su Ruan recalled that she had seen this boy at the bakery café.

Wasn't this the boy that her cousin had a crush on?

It seemed that Ma Yu Xi had another intention when she invited her to go hiking!

Ma Yu Xi introduced her to the group and after making some preparation, the cousins followed the group to climb up.

Su Ruan poked her cousin with her elbow and sent her a knowing look.

"Sister Ruan, don't look at me like that," Ma Yu Xi whispered "I wasn't aware that they would be the group to show up."

Su Ruan clicked her tongue. "I won't believe your words."

Ma Yu Xi laughed. "Don't be like this. How about I treat you to a nice breakfast after we come down the mountain?"

Her eyes narrowed. "Look at you, trying to bribe me." She rolled her eyes and spoke, "Don't worry, I won't say a word to our family about it."

"Sister Ruan, you're the best!"

The cousin continued to climb up with the group.

Fortunately, the trail was not that difficult or steep. Since she was someone who was not used to hiking, Su Ruan found that this trail was quite good for a beginner like her.

It took them almost forty minutes to reach the first peak.

By the time they arrived, Su Ruan was already gasping for air. However, the moment she saw the scenery before her, the tiredness disappeared. Su Ruan thought that it was worth it for her to wake up early and brave the morning cold to watch the scenery before her.

The group was planning to stay on the first peak to watch the sunrise.

Su Ruan sat at a clean spot to watch the scenery before her.

Her head turned when she heard some movement coming from another side of the mountain. Soon, a few hikers appeared and one of them was a face that she recognized.

It was Long Fei.
