Chapter Thirty-Seven We Watch the Sunrise Together (1645)

  Aya, have you figured out what's going on? Zi Qing asked curiously, is it about rekindling old romance or paying off debts?

  Haha, looking at Aya's state, she should be being chased for debt. Haven't seen that bitter melon face of Aya?

  Can you two stop tormenting me? Liu Ya pouted slightly, her face gloomy and regretful of her earlier soft-heartedness. Why did she refuse at first but agree later?

  What's wrong? Liu Fang looked at Liu Ya who was in a bad mood and asked, did he really ask you for that 5,000 yuan? In cash?

  No! Liu Ya's face was full of grievance, pulling Liu Fang's hand and saying, "Sister, that guy asked me to accompany him to watch the sunrise!"

  Ah! The seagull looked at Liu Ya in surprise, and it really was an appointment to continue the old affair on the small back mountain!

  Seagull! Liu Ya picked up a pillow and threw it over, you won't attack me, you'll get fat, oh!?

  Pfft, no way! The seagull is laughing and saying "Hey, we're worried about you too!" That guy doesn't seem like a thrifty lamp, don't let him take advantage of you in the small village!

  Will he? After hearing Hai Ou's words, Liu Ya's heart became even more entangled. She moved her mouth, Luo Jun is not that kind of person! However, in her heart, she silently thought: I haven't been in contact with him for ten years, what if he is that kind of person... Ah! Don't dare to imagine!

  Why don't you all come with me? Liu Ya smiled and said to the beautiful sisters.

  I'm not going, I still haven't recovered from yesterday's internal and external injuries! Zi Qing was the first to abandon Liu Ya. However, she hurt her foot, which is understandable.

  I'd better give up too, my legs are still shaking. The seagull also looked pitifully at Liu Ya. Liu Ya cast her gaze towards Huang Ying and Lu Xuan.

  Aya, you know, I'm most afraid of darkness! ... Huang Ying squinted her small eyes and said to Liu Aya with certainty.

  Uh... I was thinking of finding a better excuse, but it took me half a day to come up with nothing.

  "Alright, forget it! Liu Ya sighed and shook her head, saying: Since none of you are willing to accompany me, then... humph! Liu Ya glanced at them with a threatening tone: I'll just go flirt with your men!"

  Go! Go! Lu Xuan was the first to express her support.

  This can be done! Zi Qing's second statement.

  Anyway, borrowing from you for a while, we won't be short of meat! The seagull looked at Liu Ya with a smile.

  I think this is good! Liu Fang also nodded in agreement, at least this way was safer than her going alone. I'll call Jia Wei to accompany you. As she spoke, Liu Fang reached under the pillow and pulled out her phone, ready to dial.

  Forget it, I was just kidding. Liu Ya looked at Liu Fang and really wanted to call Jia Wei to accompany her, but then she thought that if the three of them were together, it would be very awkward. So, she gave up on the idea of finding someone to accompany her. I'll go wash up and change my clothes, you guys can keep sleeping. After saying this, Liu Ya took a set of pink casual wear and walked towards the bathroom.

  Since Liu Ya agreed to accompany Luo Jun to watch the sunrise, Luo Jun was happily smiling foolishly. He remembered that when he was a child, every time they played house in the military compound, Luo Jun would ask Liu Ya to set the scene, and every time Liu Ya would say she wanted high mountains, and also the kind where you could watch the sunrise. She said she liked the way the sun looked when it first came out, all red and glowing. Luo Jun would always say that when she grew up, he would take her to watch the sunrise if he had the chance. This time, coincidentally running into Liu Ya at Tiger Wolf Cliff, he was finally able to fulfill his childhood promise to her.

  Liu Fang watched Liu Ya go in to wash up, and couldn't help but feel uneasy about Liu Ya going alone. So, she picked up her phone and dialed Liu Jia Wei's number.

  Ding... Ding... Ding... Ding... The phone is ringing.

  "Hello...... Liu Jiawei's drowsy voice came from the phone, it seemed that Liu Fang had pulled him back from his sister Zhou Gong."

  Awei, are you awake? Liu Fang heard Liu Jiawei's unclear voice and couldn't help but ask if he was awake in a very soft tone. Only after asking did she realize it was only 12:30.

  Huh? Liu Jiawei heard Liu Fang's voice, struggled to open his eyes to look at the time on his phone 0:2 minutes, furrowed his brow, and said into the phone, "Fangfang, it's only half past midnight now. You're asking if I'm awake?"

  Uh... Hehe. Liu Fang held her phone, smiled a bit awkwardly and asked: Although it's a bit early, uh, isn't the saying "early to bed and early to rise makes one healthy"?

  You called me to wake up? Liu Jiawei could tell that Liu Fang wanted him to get out of bed, but there had to be a reason for it. The bed was just too comfortable! What's the task, bb?

  Forget it, if you still want to sleep, then... Liu Fang couldn't continue speaking.

  Aiya, I'll tell you! Li Xiaoman, who was sleeping next to Liu Fang, snatched the phone and shouted into it: "Aya sister has been asked out by that 'lecherous' guy to watch the sunrise, Fangfang sister is worried something will happen to her, she wants you to accompany her."

  What did you say? What 'debauched' man? Liu Jiawei was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

  Luó Jùn, Luó Jùn Yuè ā Yǎ jiě jie qù kàn rì chū! Lǐ Xiǎo Màn zài yī cì chóng fù.

  Translation:

  Luo Jun, Luo Jun Yue A Ya sister goes to watch the sunrise! Li Xiaoman repeats again.

  What! Liu Jiawei heard clearly this time, as soon as he heard the two words "Luo Jun", he was like a shot of chicken blood, and suddenly sat up from the bed. When are they leaving? Ah, my dear little public must be dating someone? Can I agree? Must be a light bulb, must!

  Aya sister is getting ready, should be done soon, will set off immediately. Li Xiaoman replied, so are you going or not? Ah ah ah, hey hey... The phone hung up with a "du du du" sound. What kind of person is this!

  What did he say? Liu Fang asked Li Xiaoman for confirmation.

  Should be fine! Hung up! Li Xiaoman handed the phone to Liu Fang, whoosh, hid under the quilt. Hmm, the quilt is still more comfortable!

  Jiawei, why are you getting up so early? Xiao Yu raised his hand to block the dazzling light and looked at Liu Jiawei, who was hastily putting on his clothes. He asked in confusion, "Are you rushing to go pick someone up or something? It's the middle of the night!"

  Luo Jun that kid came to ask Aya to go to the mountain to watch the sunrise! I have to take a look! Liu Jiawei responded to Xiao Yu while putting on his clothes.

  What!?! Xiao Yu looked at Liu Jia Wei in surprise. Luo Jun asked Aya out? Aya agreed? Huh? My little princess is going on a date?

  Surprised? That's right! Liu Jiawei fastened the last button and said to Xiao Yu, who was lying in bed, I'm also surprised! So, I have to go take a look!

  Wait! I'll go too! Xiao Yu made a quick jump and quickly put on his clothes.

  Are you both going? Mulin Feng looked at the two people with neat movements, somewhat unbelievable.

  Liu Jiawei and Xiao Yu both responded with a murmur, which was taken as an answer.

  Anyway, I couldn't sleep either, so I went too. Li Jin Yi also got out of bed and dressed, at this time, Mu Lin Feng couldn't sit still anymore.

  "Hey, you guys are going to watch the sunrise, I'll go too. It's been a long time since we've seen a sunrise, right?" So he got up too. Like this, the four of them made a racket, and in less than 5 minutes they were all washed and dressed.

  In front of the girl's room door.

  Liu Ya walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. Seeing Luo Jun's smiling face, she also naturally revealed a faint smile.

  Let's go. Luo Jun stretched out his left hand and was about to pull Liu Ya's hand.

  Let's go. Liu Ya originally slightly stretched out her right hand, hesitated for a moment, and directly messed with the hair hanging down beside her ear, with a hint of sparkle in her eyes, and replied faintly before walking ahead. Luo Jun's stiffened outstretched hand smiled wryly. This girl, not seen for many years, has some estrangement. Thinking back to childhood, they used to hold hands and run around together every day.

  "Hey, Aya, want to go see the sunrise? Liu Ya and Luo Jun hadn't walked far when they were caught up by Liu Jia Wei and his group. Liu Jia Wei's group seemed to have run into them coincidentally."

  Huh... Liu Ya looked at the four school grasses, somewhat surprised. Emma, all of a sudden there are four! Old sister is really capable! Is that right, you guys? Are you also going to watch the sunrise?

  It's been many years since I've seen the sunrise, what a rare opportunity! I must appreciate it! Liu Jiawei said while seemingly just discovering Luo Jun, and exclaimed, Ah, Captain Luo is also here? What a coincidence!

  Wow! What a coincidence. Luo Jun said, looking at Liu Ya, this girl called four boys at once? Not bad charm! Liu Ya had a faint smile on her face.

  Let's go, it's lively with more people. Liu Ya somewhat admired her sister's charm, suddenly being able to pull four school grasses out of their warm beds, that's not something ordinary people can do. Liu Ya didn't know that the four of them came for her, if it were someone else, probably not one would be moved.

  "Where is the target location?" asked Xiao Yu, looking at Liu Ya and then at Luo Jun. In fact, their current position was on the middle of the mountain, facing due east, where they could see the sunrise from the temple's main hall.

  Langjiao Platform. Luojun replied briefly. Langjiao Platform is the third small main peak of Tiger Wolf Cliff, but with an altitude of about 800 meters, it has already been developed and there is a well-paved stone road that leads directly to the top of the mountain.

  Let's go, let's watch the sunrise! Liu Jia Wei and Xiao Yu accompanied Liu Ya to guard against Luo Jun. Mu Lin Feng and Li Jin ran wildly towards the top. About an hour later, they arrived at their destination. Looking up at the dark sky with twinkling stars, Liu Ya remembered when she was a child, lying on a bamboo bed in the courtyard with her father, counting the stars, it was really warm and loving.

  Liu Ya found a clean stone slab ground, lay on it, propped her head with her hands, and silently gazed at the stars in the sky.

  At this age, still counting stars? Liu Jia Wei and Xiao Yu as well as Luo Jun leaned their heads together to form a small circle. Luo Jun turned his head to look at the sky, looking at Liu Ya who wasn't saying a word, and asked softly, "When we were young, Uncle Xiao and my dad brought us to the rooftop to count stars, do you still remember?"

  Mm. Liu Ya responded softly, as if afraid of disturbing the stars.

  It's been a long time since you last called Xiao Shu, hasn't it? Luo Jun asked lightly, seemingly careless. Xiao Shu has been hospitalized for almost a week due to illness, did you know that?

  Does it have anything to do with me? Liu Ya's tone was so flat that it was hard to detect any emotions, making her seem aloof. Luo Jun sat up and looked at Liu Ya, who slowly began to speak: "The stars are beautiful, but they can only appear at night. When the golden sun comes out, they disappear without a trace. Can you say that the sun is heartless? Many things change over time." Luo Jun looked at Liu Ya, remained silent, and lay back down.

  Anyway, give me a call when you're free. Luo Jun said softly, Xiao Tuo said your dad misses you a lot. You know, some things never change.

  So Liu Ya didn't speak and others quietly waited for the sunrise.

  Around 5:30 in the morning, the sky gradually turned white, and Liu Ya and others lay quietly on the ground, watching the changes in the sky little by little.

  The sun came out. Mu Lin Feng was a bit impatient and suggested, how about telling jokes?

  "You speak." Liu Ya uttered two words faintly, because after hearing Luo Jun's words, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. Hadn't they already abandoned themselves for the sake of money and housing? Now finding someone to plead their case?

  Long ago, there were ten suns in the sky, scorching the earth so hot that all animals turned into roast meat as soon as they went out. A man named Hou Yi thought it was wonderful and went out every day to pick some up for wine. Finally, one day, all the animals on land became extinct, and in order to let the fish come ashore, Hou Yi decided to shoot down nine suns. However, unexpectedly, after he shot down the nine suns, he was eaten by a crocodile that came ashore from the water! Later, the Crocodile King also took his wife as a mountain bandit's wife. Mu Lin Feng narrated the story with sound and color.

  "How come it didn't sweep you away too?" Liu Ya asked irritably.

  Take me away, who will accompany you to watch the sunrise?

  I don't need you around me...

  Yes, at least there's still us two.

  You guys are really 'bad'...

  Xiaoya is happy with you all around her, she's a blessed princess, take good care of her. Luo Jun said lightly. Liu Ya was right, many things are changing.

  That's it... The four boys said in unison.

  Digression

  We really have to go down the mountain, if we don't go down the mountain, the police will be called!
