After I washed off my heavy makeup, the aloof CEO regretted it

In order to show his sincerity, he planned to kneel down one step at a time until he reached the top of the mountain.

Then he knelt down in front of the mountain temple until he could get what he wanted.

If anyone knew about his behavior, they would definitely think that he was crazy.

In order to avoid grandma's obstruction, she did not reveal her true plan and only said that she was here to pray for Ah Qing.

The content of the letter he left behind before going out was to tell the old man that he was feeling depressed and wanted to walk nearby alone, so that grandma would not have to worry about him or send people out to find him...

So, he sincerely recited his wish, kowtowed step by step from the foot of the mountain, and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.

Songyun Mountain, 1200 meters above sea level, has a total of 3719 steps.

If he walked up, it would take no more than three hours based on Geng Yuchen's previous physical strength.

But today is different from the past.

He is now recovering from a serious injury, his vitality is severely damaged, and his physical strength is much worse than before.

In addition, the whipping caused damage to the internal organs, and there was a dull pain in the abdominal cavity at the slightest movement.

Although his legs have returned to health, after all, his knees have been severely injured and his movements are not as flexible as before.

The most important thing is that you have to kneel down step by step, which makes it more and more difficult.

So five hours passed, it was almost midnight, and he had just reached the halfway point of the mountain.

There is still more than half a distance to the top of the mountain.

Geng Yuchen raised two rows of thick eyelashes stained with dew, glanced at the road ahead, and couldn't help but tighten his thin lip line.

The next moment, he bent his knees for the Nth time and silently recited his wish in his heart.

After walking up three steps, I suddenly felt my feet go soft and I tumbled down from a high place.

After stopping, he lay down on the snow and gasped.

The edge of the stone steps hurt people all over their body, but Geng Yuchen gritted his teeth and said nothing.

He clenched his fists hard and gave up in his heart.

I can't walk up any number of stairs without falling.

You are such a waste!

After a moment of relief, he stood up with one hand on the ground and walked the dozen or so steps he had fallen down on his knees again.

The snow had stopped by this time, but the north wind was still blowing.

Two hours later, he had moved forward a little further, with about a third of the distance remaining.

Geng Yuchen walked slower and slower, gradually becoming exhausted and feeling hungry.

Every time he knelt down or stood up, his knees began to tremble slightly, his legs felt like lead, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

Finally, I had to find a tree stump by the roadside, bounce the snow off and sit on it to rest.

He really had no appetite these days. Today he climbed to the top of the mountain to replenish his strength and barely drank half a bowl of porridge during dinner.

I thought I could make it to the top of the mountain without taking a long time, so I didn’t bring any food or water with me when I came out, but I overestimated myself.

In the middle of the night, all the stalls along the way were locked, and there was nowhere to buy something to eat.

Geng Yuchen sighed silently, and the next second he suddenly remembered that he was still carrying snacks.

Originally, I just wanted to keep my sweetheart's belongings by my side so that I could take them out and look at them at any time to relieve my thoughts of her, so I brought my watch and snacks with me.

Now, in order not to faint from hunger, he planned to eat those snacks to satisfy his hunger.

After making up his mind, Geng Yuchen put his hand into his coat pocket, took out the pieces of strawberry gummies, peeled one of them off and put it in his mouth.

The sweet and glutinous taste stimulated his taste buds and whetted the appetite of Geng Yuchen, who usually didn't like sweets.

After chewing and swallowing, I felt even hungrier.

The snacks in his pocket were limited, so he didn't dare to eat too much at one time, so he only ate one and stopped.

Enduring hunger, he stood up unsteadily and continued to move forward.

That's it, and then three more breaks.

Every time you take a break, eat a candy.

He couldn't help but sigh, thanks to these candies, it helped him regain his energy.

After all, Ah Qing helped him again.

There was a section of the road next. Due to poor visibility due to the broken street lights, he did not notice the vines under his feet and fell to the ground twice.

Therefore, some time was wasted.

It wasn't until the night gradually dissipated and the sky turned white that we finally reached the top of the mountain.

After counting, he kowtowed step by step and walked all night long.

By this time, the fabric at his knees had long been torn, and there were blood marks on his fair forehead.

The man was sitting on his knees on the ground, cold sweat covering his forehead, and he was panting.

He felt exhausted and could no longer stand.

After taking a few breaths, Geng Yuchen ignored his embarrassment and raised his chin high, looking at the mountain temple not far away with a sour nose, his eyes filled with endless hope.

I hope the compassionate gods in this temple can see his sincerity and bring his Aqing back to life.

He lowered his head and pinched his pocket, only to realize that all the gummies in the left pocket had been eaten. In order to replenish his strength and keep walking into the mountain temple, he reached into the other pocket.

Opening the palm of his hand, he revealed a delicate small box.

He opened the lid with his fingertips and found a small round ball wrapped in golden wrapping paper, about the size of a ripe cherry.

It is placed together with those gummy candies. It must be some kind of snack, probably chocolate or sesame balls?

Thinking like this, Geng Yuchen moved his long fingers, peeled off the outer layer of wrapping paper, and put the black dumpling inside into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this thing melted in your mouth, neither sweet nor salty, and had no taste whatsoever.

Neither chocolate nor sesame balls.

Maybe glutinous rice balls?

In short, this is what was placed on A-Qing. Even if it is not a snack, it cannot be poison.

It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it fills my stomach.

Thinking like this, Geng Yuchen didn't think too deeply and climbed towards the mountain temple using his hands and feet.

Just one step away from his destination, about half a meter from the gate, the man suddenly frowned and felt a cramp in his stomach.

Immediately, he fell straight to the ground.

The steady heartbeat gradually slowed down, and his consciousness became blurred.

It gave him the illusion of dying.

Could it be that what he ate in the end was really poison?

He used the last bit of strength in his body to take out the garbage he had just put away from his trouser pocket, found the packaging box, and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.

There are three words printed on the bottom of the box.

Probably because he often took it out to gamble with things and think about people, the word in the middle has been worn away, and only the two words before and after can be recognized as "death" and "dan" respectively.

It seems to be really poison.

It's a pity that he spent the whole night kneeling all the way up from the foot of the mountain. He was just short of the last step, but he always stopped at the door.

He, a useless person, still failed to save his sweetheart after all.

Geng Yuchen thought drowsily, feeling self-blame, unwillingness and regret in his heart.

But the next moment, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Yeah.

This way, you can see her earlier.

Since Ah Qing can't be reborn, then he should go find her.
