Chapter 102 - Meaningful

Ye Qiao saw Beixiao once she opened her eyes. He was holding a cigarette, and smoke masked his handsome face.

Her image of his face from her previous life had overlapped with the vision of him that she saw now. Sometimes, he looked mature and in deep thought... other times, he looked young and handsome.

Whichever it was, he was still as attractive as always, and he was no longer the person she feared in her previous life.

The feeling was so good!

It felt as though her regrets from her previous life could finally be resolved.

"Are you awake?" He asked gently. His raspy voice was moving, as always. Ye Qiao felt her heart melt.

"What time is it? It seems the rain has stopped..."

"Three."

He pulled her up.

"I've always wondered what this cigarette tastes like! Xiao, let me try a little."

She stole his cigarette and took a deep breath, looking like a real gangster! A deadly, seductive gangster.

"Hey! Don't learn bad things... Stop smoking!" He said with a deep voice. She dodged his hand and rolled down the car window. Then, sticking her head out, she took a deep breath of the fresh air.

"Xiao! Xiao! Look! There's a rainbow!"

After the rain, the sun came out again, and a rainbow formed over the valley. Ye Qiao was full of excitement. She was as happy as a child. In fact, she wanted to run down barefoot, but he carried her out of the car instead.

After the rain, mist surrounded the lush greenery and the lake. It felt like heaven. Meanwhile, the cooling breeze dried off their sweat. It could not be any more relaxing.

Above the valley, she stared in awe at the rainbow that was the most vivid and colorful rainbow she had ever seen! They could almost see a full circle!

The rainbow after a storm - what a beautiful meaning.

Watching this scenery while in his embrace felt so romantic.

In their previous life, they had never done anything this romantic, and they barely even met - probably only a few times a year. Even when they did meet, she would be busy causing drama, and he would either be cleaning up her mess or ignoring her. Thinking about this, her mind wandered off again.

After coming back to her senses, she realized that he was still looking at her.

"Xiao, why aren't you looking at the rainbow? It's so pretty!" Ye Qiao asked.

"You're prettier!" He looked at her beautiful smile and said seriously. Compared to her, even the most beautiful sceneries lost their colors. He could only see her! Apparently, this person who taught him the sweetness of dating had also taught him love.

"My boyfriend is such a sweet-talker!" Ye Qiao blushed.

"I am just saying the truth!" Beixiao said firmly.

"Are you trying to make me cry?! Your wound is bleeding again! Put me down!" Seeing the stain on his bandage, she quickly uttered.

"This amount of blood is nothing!"

"..." Ye Qiao was speechless.

When they returned to the base camp, it was already 4 pm.

"Xiao, I am going to contact my uncle and go back! The sun would be setting by the time I reach the town!" Her uncle, Ye Shengkun, was also a team leader. But just when Ye Qiao wanted to take her cellphone, Beixiao stopped her.

"Do you think I will let you go back by yourself? Wait here; I will go and ask for leave from Lao Cai and send you back!" She came all the way to find her. How could he let her leave by herself?

If he did, he would feel like a failed man!

Today was a meaningful day for the both of them. Their relationship took a big leap forward!

As a man, and as her boyfriend, Beixiao wanted to be as good as possible so that he would not leave with any regrets.

His words moved her. "Xiao, I understand what you mean, but that would be unnecessary! I am not a little girl!"

"How is it unnecessary?! I am not that type of person! This is me appreciating you and caring about you. Do you understand? Just wait here. I'll be back soon!" He looked at her firmly before he left.

Watching him leave, she almost teared up again.

Lu Beixiao was the perfect man.
