Ruan Cunyun was really surprised: [My company’s travel destination is also Fengxi Valley]
Feiry Handsome: [Hahahaha, what a coincidence.]
Young Madame Qiangwei: [There’s actually such a good thing? That’s even better! You guys can just play around until Friday, we will shoot on Saturday so you can just wait there for us.]
Qi Chang: [@Cun, how is your company’s arrangement? Is it mandatory for the employees to go back together?]
Cun: [Wait let me check.]
Ruan Cunyun opened his email. The travel itinerary has already been sent to them.
Qin Fanglu’s work style was clear and straightforward as ever, the travel arrangement was written like a meeting rundown. The tables to list all of it neatly and the schedule rundown for the three days trip was clear and easy to understand.
Ruan Cunyun read it on and then reported back: [Our trip is from Wednesday to Friday. After the Friday activity has finished we can choose to go back with the department crowd, but if we want to continue playing there it’s also fine. We will have to pay for the lodging from our own pockets, but we can apply for reimbursement for the return trip travel expenses.]
Young Madame Qiangwei: [That’s really great! Then we will go back after shooting?]
Cun: [Okay! (Subarashi.jpg)]
Xu Feifei across the screen almost drooled: [Your company’s benefits are so good ah! They really spend the company funds for travel in working days, so cool!]
Ruan Cunyun then recalled, it seemed like that night Qin Fanglu asked him about suggestions for the company group activities, and he carelessly answered that a relaxing trip was overall better. Then it was implemented not long after.
He could only say that Qin Fanglu’s ability and speed was really really amazing.
And thus it was settled as such, Ruan Cunyun would follow the company activities normally and then on Saturday the others would bring the clothes and equipment here to look for him.

Zhu Han, with a baseball cap on and backpack on his back, arrived at the assembly point and looked for people everywhere and all over the place to exchange snacks. And Xiao Mei was wearing a goose yellow long-sleeved dress with her hair in a braid, dragging two large suitcases.
Zhu Han’s jaw dropped, “Mei Jiejie, we are only going for three days, not three months!”
“I’m just bringing necessities.” Xiao Mei said with emphasis, her gaze then stopping at Ruan Cunyun.
She let out a pampering and benevolent smile and said, “Woahh, how is Xiao Yun wearing pink today ah? So tender and cuddly! Little brother, have you finished your High School Entrance Examination?”
Ruan Cunyun was wearing a dusty pink hoodie, the model is also a slight oversize kind, once worn his already small face looked even smaller. Added with his fair and smooth skin and lovable appearance, he really did look a lot like a child who was just about to enter high school.
It wasn’t like he dressed himself all soft and cuddly on purpose, it’s just that the email about the trip reminded everyone the mountains were cold, and so recommended them to wear long sleeves. But Ruan Cunyun only had one normal-looking hoodie that he could actually wear outside, the rest all had all kinds of anime-characters print.
Qin Fanglu came not long after.
His attire was all black: black short sleeves, black short pants, black sportswear. He looked like a steady and calm but free-spirited handsome man.
Ruan Cunyun was actually a bit confused, he told the employees to wear long sleeves to resist the cold, yet he himself wore so little??
Perhaps it was because it wasn’t the office that Qin Fanglu looked much more relaxed, there were some who gathered around to gossip about him.
Ruan Cunyun has some phobia toward bosses, so he stayed far far away from him in the bus and felt very safe.
Fengxi valley, as expected, is indeed a secluded and beautiful place. If felt as if their body has been replaced with another when they got off the bus, the fresh air of the mountains felt different from the cities, the water was crystal clear and glittering.
According to the drafted trip itinerary, they could ride cable cars to go up the mountain then they would raft along the creeks in the mountain to go down, and once they arrived at the lodgings they could finally eat barbecue.
Probably because of Qin Fanglu’s presence, the plan was carried out strictly, it was already 11 a.m. when everyone lined up to board the cable car in the station, as stated in the itinerary.
The subordinates were talking in small groups while Qin Fanglu followed them in the back, occasionally joining in the talk with the other PICs1person in charge. He didn’t talk much, but definitely more than usual.
Qin Fanglu looked around leisurely and saw a small figure clad in a pink hoodie standing alone by the side, a little far from the rest of the group.
Ruan Cunyun’s back was facing the crowd, he was holding his phone and taking photos of the maple leaves in the distance, seemingly adjusting the scenery photo by pulling the phone back and forth. He seemed to be so absorbed in taking photos.
“Come here everyone, eight people come here to board this cabin ah!” The uncle who was tasked with arranging the tourist to board the cable car shouted loudly, he pulled some random eight people to go inside the cabin, like ushering dumplings in.
Qin Fanglu approached Ruan Cunyun and then called out, “We are about to board the cable car, don’t fall behind.”
“Ah, Oh!” Ruan Cunyun paused for a second before turning his head, his move to put away his phone was quick and swift, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Qin. I will pay attention.”
“Ai, both of you come closer, come and board this one!” The uncle was like The Hero From The Sky2天降神兵 (lit Heaven-sent weapon/hero) is actually a movie name, the english name is…. Howard the duck (1986). “the uncle was like howard the duck” just sounds ridiculous and stupid, just with a flick of finger he made Qin Fanglu and Ruan Cunyun come near the cable car.
Zhu Han who was just getting into the cable car as he waved his hands in great motion, “Mr. Qin, Xiao Ruan, come and sit here!”
Qin Fanglu and Ruan Cunyun finally stepped into the cabin and inevitably had to sit together.
A cable car was filled to the brim with eight people, the space kind of cramped up. On Ruan Cunyun’s left sat Zhu Han, on his right was Qin Fanglu, he was wedged between them and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
The cable car slowly proceeded to drive into the air and the view of mountains covered with red maple trees came before their eyes. Vibrant colors dyeing the forest like a painting of mother nature, a magnificent sight and feast for the eyes, Ruan Cunyun even forgot to breathe for a moment.
Zhu Han was as lively as a monkey, he looked left and right and rocked everyone back and forth.
His movement was quite big and Ruan Cunyun could only silently shift to the right.
Suddenly the side of his knee felt some heat. His leg has apparently pressed into Qin Fanglu’s left leg.
Ruan Cunyun took back his leg as if he was electrocuted, his head lowered as he whispered, “Sorry.”
I’ve offended him I’ve offended him.
Qin Fanglu just squinted his eyes, he actually didn’t have much reaction just now. He just felt that the side of his thigh suddenly became a little cold, turned out it was Ruan Cunyun’s knee bumping with him.
Perhaps it was because of their height difference, when Ruan Cunyun’s knee tilt and came close it could only touch Qin Fanglu’s mid thigh.
The two of them were wearing shorts, seated as such would naturally make their pants rode up and reveal more skin of their legs.
The comparison between them became more obvious like this. Qin Fanglu’s leg was muscular and robust, even in a relaxed state as he sat now the bulges, contours, and lines of his muscles could clearly be seen. Ruan Cunyun’s leg in comparison was much more slender and thin, porcelain white with not the slightest blemish, and seemed like one wouldn’t need two hands to easily wrap around them.
Qin Fanglu spent a few more seconds for his observation that he missed the best time to respond with a “It’s fine” to Ruan Cunyun.
The only thing left in his mind was: Ruan Cunyun’s legs are so cold.
“Dear guests, would you all like to take a group photo as a memento!” Zhu Han waved the phone in his hand, complete with the selfie stick ready, he also didn’t forget to inquire his boss, “What about Mr. Qin?”
Everyone showed their support simultaneously, Qin Fanglu also nodded his head.
The phone screen framed the eight faces in, the girls were all smiling radiantly, Zhu Han’s smile was foolish3The RAW said 二缺 which basically means stupid/foolish (二) and brainless/no intelligence (缺心眼), while Ruan Cunyun smiled softly and revealed his two tiger teeth. Only Qin Fanglu was not smiling, but one can see that his mood was really good, the corners of his eyes appeared gentle and soft.
Qin Fanglu stared at the Ruan Cunyun in the screen, those tiger teeth were pointy and white, like a fierce tiger’s cub that has yet to be addicted to blood, innocent and pure, harmless and unthreatening.
His gaze just couldn’t help but be drawn to them. Qin Fanglu thought, the angels who fell to the mortal world ought to also have this kind of small pointy teeth.
Zhu Han began to countdown, “3, 2, 1——Cheese——”
“Ah wait!!” Ruan Cunyun’s expression suddenly changed and called out to stop Zhu Han, his fingers pointed at Qin Fanglu’s shoulder.
“Mr. Qin, there is a little spider on your clothes.”
When Zhu Han took in what he said, he shouted, “Aaaahhhh where is it where is it! I have arachnophobia!”
The girls’ smile became a bit stiff, the spider wasn’t even on you!
Qin Fanglu turned his head to look at his shoulders, “Where? I didn’t see it.”
Ruan Cunyun’s expression was a bit panicked, the spider was about to get inside Qin Fanglu’s clothes.
He couldn’t think much and thus stretched out his hand and pinched the spider up.
Qin Fanglu only felt some cold sensation on his neck, it was Ruan Cunyun’s fingertips.
The touch was gone in a flash, but the touch had left some tingly and numb sensation on his skin. Such a sensation was unfamiliar and new to him, indescribable and left Qin Fanglu’s muscles tensed up.
Qin Fanglu didn’t have mysophobia, he also didn’t have a strong sense of personal space.
Side hugs and physical contact with Cheng Kai were normal occurrences, as was shaking hands during business meetings and also bodily contact when he exercised with others. But he has never experienced something like this.
This child seemed to carry some electricity in his body, making the places he had touched left with a distinct sensation of touch.
“I’m going to release it outside.” Ruan Cunyun carefully stretched out his body and let the small spider crawl out outside the window.
But the space was cramped, so Ruan Cunyun’s leg couldn’t help but press onto Qin Fanglu once again.
“Sorry Mr. Qin.” Ruan Cunyun quickly glanced at Qin Fanglu and whispered an apology.
This time Qin Fanglu quickly said, “It’s fine, thank you.”
The numb sensation on his neck slowly subsided, the place where his leg was rubbed felt tingly and numb.
Qin Fanglu’s thought processor suddenly became very slow, what he thought was: It wasn’t just Ruan Cunyun’s leg that was cold, his hand also was.
It felt as if the nerves on his thigh had become extremely sensitive, the sensation from the contact only subsided after quite a long time.
Qin Fanglu was really bewildered.
Could Ruan Cunyun be a pikachu? He couldn’t really be that kind of pokemon that releases electricity, right?
Zhu Han, who seemed to have regained his life after calamity, raised his selfie stick again and proceeded to happily take group photos.
As everyone was saying ‘Cheese’, Ruan Cunyun felt the heat radiating from Qin Fanglu on his side.
Qin Fanglu’s leg was really hot, his neck was also very warm, no wonder he still wore such thin short sleeves in this kind of cold and windy mountain.
Mr. Qin’s body (health)4身体 literally means body and can also refer to someone’s health, double meaning there :”) is really good, Ruan Cunyun thought.
The author has something to say:
Mr. Qin, don’t worry! Xiao Yun’s other body parts are hot.
[Highlight] I have something to do tomorrow and so might not release a new chapter, everyone don’t wait! Sorry (spinning and kneeling)
To compensate, Mr. Qin’s three cats are alone at home, everyone can go and rub them =w=
