Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Youth Wearing a Flower
Gu Shiting looks more like a child when he’s angry.
Sheng Tang chuckled beside him.
"Don’t be mad," she said, "I’ll call Sister Feifei and ask her to come pick us up."
But the call didn’t go through.
She then called Song Chen.
Still, no one answered.
Sheng Tang: "They are both still on the track. We have to wait for them to finish a lap before they might stop."
Gu Shiting: "..."
Sheng Tang told him, "I’ll send a message to Sister Feifei. If she sees it, she’ll come find us."
It was already four-thirty.
In late spring, the mountain flowers were in full bloom. In the distance, a tree was covered with pink blossoms, stunningly beautiful.
Having sent the message, Sheng Tang got out of the car feeling very relaxed.
Gu Shiting followed behind her.
"I want to pick some flowers," Sheng Tang said to him.
Gu Shiting originally wanted to help her, but then he had a sudden inspiration and lifted her by the waist, raising her up so she could pick them herself.
Sheng Tang: "..."
The sudden elevation startled her.
She picked two flowers and asked Gu Shiting, "What flowers are these?"
Gu Shiting looked up, seeing only her sharp chin and full lips. He couldn’t think of anything, so he shook his head.
Sheng Tang patted his shoulder, "Alright, put me down."
Then, she casually placed one of the flowers behind Gu Shiting’s ear.
Gu Shiting: "..."
He put Sheng Tang down.
Originally, he wanted to take it off, but seeing Sheng Tang squint her eyes in amusement, he suddenly couldn’t bear to remove it.
His Tangtang was always so mature. It was rare for her to relax and be as playful as a child. Gu Shiting enjoyed her innocence at this moment.
Sheng Tang pinned the other flower in her own hair.
"Does it look good?" she asked Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting’s eyes fell on her face; he felt her cheeks were more radiant than the flower, her eyes so bright, adding an unparalleled charm.
He seemed bewitched: "Beautiful!"
Sheng Tang laughed, "You look great too."
She took out her phone and snapped a picture of Gu Shiting wearing the flower.
After taking the picture, Sheng Tang laughed for a while before sending it to Mrs. Gu and Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiting leaned forward to see and reached out to grab it, "Don’t send it!"
Sheng Tang exclaimed and dodged his hand, causing the phone to slip out and roll down the mountain.
Below the mountain path were woods and thickets, further down was the lake; it looked quite far.
Who knows where the phone had fallen.
Gu Shiting wanted to retrieve it.
Sheng Tang quickly pulled him back, "No, if you fall down, no one will fetch you. Besides, it’s late spring; there could be snakes in the grass."
The car was off, and if he got bitten by a snake, Sheng Tang wouldn’t know what to do.
"I’ll buy you a new phone," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang’s phone was just bought recently.
She peeked over and laughed, "I seem to have bad luck with phones. This is the second one I’ve lost."
Then she smiled, "Get me a lake blue one. I don’t want a silver one anymore."
This brand of phone had recently released a new model with a very beautiful lake blue color.
"Alright," Gu Shiting agreed without hesitation.
As they chatted, over an hour passed without them realizing.
Gu Shiting called his sister again.
Still, no one answered.
He glanced at his phone, only 10% of battery left, and the car was off. Without being able to start the car, the dome light was useless, and there was no place to charge the phone.
Gu Shiting started to get anxious.
He contemplated the possibility of walking back.
Quickly, he dismissed the idea: when he drove out, it was all downhill and took at least twenty minutes.
If they were to return the same way, he and Sheng Tang would have to hike uphill, which would take them all night.
