Chapter 144 Snowy Mountain Scenery

The next day, Sunday.

It was a cloudy day with light snow falling in the gray sky. After a night of snowfall, the ground and roofs of the imperial capital were covered with a layer of white carpet.

After winter comes, the imperial capital is covered with trees in silver, a vast expanse of white, clean and pure, bringing peace of mind to people's hearts.

Xia Yu changed into a long down jacket, put on a mask, a black hat on his head, a scarf, and a hiking bag, and went out fully armed.

Long Yanning also changed into a beige short down jacket, furry snow boots on her feet, a pair of fleece trousers on the lower body, and light makeup on her face. After more than a month of recuperation, she recovered quite well and her complexion was rosy.

The combination of the two standing together is a beautiful sight in the crowd. Walking on the road, they constantly attract the attention of passers-by. This is because Xia Yu has not released his lizard king. If he releases it, if the more than three-meter-tall lizard king walks on the road, it will probably cause a commotion.

"We're here." The two walked to the entrance of Qianshan Forest Park, and Xia Yu said to Long Yanning beside him: "Wait for me, I'll go buy the tickets."

"Ah."

…………

After buying the tickets, Xia Yu and the other person walked into Qianshan Forest Park. Because it was the weekend, there were quite a few tourists. However, as they walked higher up the mountain, the population became increasingly sparse, and eventually everything was completely silent. Apart from the sound of snowflakes falling from the sky, the only sound was their breathing.

Looking at the misty mountain path, Xia Yu released his Pokémon.

The huge lizard king, the golden fire dinosaur, the cute buzzing bat, the excited and simple-minded Yaya, and finally the silly and stupid Duolong.

Most dragon-type Pokémon don't like the cold weather, and Buzzbat is particularly afraid of the cold. As soon as it came out and was blown by the cold wind, it couldn't stand it and flew into Xia Yu's arms and into Xia Yu's down jacket.

Xia Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw the pitiful appearance of the buzzing bat. He had no choice but to let it crawl into his down jacket to keep warm, leaving only its two big ears and head exposed.

After crawling into Xia Yu's arms, Buzzing Bat made a cheerful sound and looked very happy.

Doron Messiah didn't care much about the cold weather. He leaned against Xia Yu foolishly, looking at the white snow scene curiously.

Yaya was the most excited. As soon as it came out, it used its long teeth on both sides of its mouth to continuously hit the trees on both sides of the road. Along with the sound of collision, large flakes of snow fell, submerging it and piling it into a snowdrift.

Then it poked its head out from the snow pile as if nothing had happened, making a happy "ya ya" sound, and seemed extremely excited.

The Lizard King walked behind Xia Yu and Long Yanning. Calmly and steadily, it used its huge body to block the snow for the two. Snowflakes kept falling on its back and long tail, and soon white snow accumulated.

Among all the Pokémon, only Charmeleon was the calmest, but when looking at the beautiful snow scene, he couldn't help but feel excited, with stars in his eyes.

Xia Yu couldn't help but touch its head and said softly: "Charmeleon, everyone is out here to play today, relax and don't think too much, we will be with you no matter what."

"Ah!" The fire dinosaur enjoyed Xia Yu's touch, her eyes looked at Xia Yu, then turned to look at Yaya. She temporarily forgot the unpleasantness of the past few days and followed Xia Yu towards the top of the mountain.

The snow is getting colder and the white fog is everywhere.

All the Pokémon walked towards the top of the mountain step by step on the plank road. Fangy and Charmeleon walked in front, Xia Yu, Long Yanning and Lizard King walked at the end.

Walking side by side with Xia Yu, Long Yan Ning couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. In the picturesque scenery of the plank road in the distant mountains, the wind blowing the snow, the trees swaying the river, the two of them were like lovers, climbing the mountain together and walking in the snow.

As the snow fell heavier, the two had to get closer and closer, shoulder to shoulder, and they could clearly feel the touch even through the thick clothes.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning both kept silent tacitly and walked up step by step, step by step.

Long Yanning's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild. In fact, at the beginning, she had always regarded Xia Yu as a student, her father's disciple, her junior brother, a young scientific research genius, and a hard-working trainer. She didn't have any other intentions in her heart.

But she also knew that Xia Yu might not think so, because she could often feel that there was something wrong with the look in Xia Yu's eyes when he looked at her from behind, and it was so hot that it was suffocating.

Long Yanning has been convincing herself about this. Xia Yu has not yet entered society and has relatively little life experience. It is normal for a boy of his age to be full of longing for a mature woman like her, and it is normal to admire a young girl.

Xia Yu was young and ignorant, but she could not be ignorant. She was already 27 years old after the Chinese New Year, eight or nine years older than Xia Yu. The age difference made her always treat Xia Yu as her own student and she did not dare to have any distracting thoughts.

But when Long Yanning watched Xia Yu cooking for her every day, helping her clean the house, and sternly warning her not to drink, this feeling of being cared for and taken care of unconsciously changed her mentality gradually.

Especially in the last two weeks when Xia Yu was away, she would often stare at the kitchen and the yard in a daze, watching the wind blow the leaves down, and she seemed to see Xia Yu busy in the kitchen and sweating on the training ground.

Now that the two of them were walking side by side, she felt inexplicably at peace.

…………

"How's the scenery?" Xia Yu asked Long Yanning, interrupting her thoughts: "I saw on the Internet that the scenery here is very good. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the scenery is very good."

"It is very beautiful." Long Yanning nodded, her face slightly red, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart, what was she thinking, what was wrong with her, she was Xia Yu's teacher...senior sister.

Long Yanning put her complicated thoughts behind her, took a deep breath, raised her head and looked into the distance. The pure white snow scene made her feel particularly peaceful. She had only been here once before with her father when she was a child.

She remembered her father once said the origin of the name of Qianshan Forest Park, and turned to Xia Yu to explain: "Qianshan Forest Park, the word Qianshan is taken from the meaning of 'Thousands of mountains are deserted, and thousands of paths are deserted'"

"Don't be so flowery." Xia Yu's words directly broke the atmosphere in front of them: "If you ask me, it's just beautiful. This snow is really fucking beautiful!"

"........."

Long Yan Ning was speechless after being teased by Xia Yu. She couldn't help but complain in a little girl's tone: "Can you be more elegant?"

"Of course." Xia Yu responded: "This is called the coldness of the jade dragon in the mountains overnight, and the old pear blossoms in the phoenix forest."

"Where did you copy this poem from? Why have I never heard of it?" Long Yan Ning looked at Xia Yu and asked.

"According to international practice, all those that have not been heard are considered to be written by me." Xia Yu said with a smile. Looking at Long Yanning's bright and beautiful face, he couldn't help but think of Nalan Xingde's two poems about snow: "The north wind blows away the snow at midnight, and the beautiful soul still lingers on the peach blossom moon."
