Upon reaching the tourist site, Pei Yanqing excitedly grasped Men Ling's hand. The pair, behaving like a couple of mischievous children, ventured forward to explore ahead, vanishing from sight almost immediately.
They briskly followed the path, occasionally pausing to enjoy the stunning scenery, or enthusiastically pointing out beautiful aspects of the surrounding nature to one another.
Men Ling's laughter was bright and pleasant as she joined Pei Yanqing in his laughter and occasionally in his playful antics.
A love-filled glance loaded with a hint of helplessness towards Yanqing's liveliness, yet brimming with affection, shone from her eyes.
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu, on the other hand, followed at a calmer pace.
Jingchuan would sometimes hold Yuzhu's hand, other times pointing out some distant feature of the landscape to share with her.
