Li Haoyu doesn't actually like giving flowers to girls casually. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ† โ˜๐Ÿจ

This is especially awkward for those who are still in the pursuit stage.

If there are a lot of flowers, it's highly likely that they'll attract a crowd of onlookers. It wouldn't be good for the girl to just throw them away, but leaving them on display takes up too much space.

It's a very troublesome thing for them to deal with.

Not to mention, if you're picking someone up or giving flowers at a train station, it might even give people the strange feeling of welcoming a delegation.

Another very important point:

Does the flower you chose look tacky?

Many guys think that glittery "blue enchantress" roses paired with chocolate are a great combination. Little do they know that this is not the case in the eyes of most girls.

This combination is absolutely: ugly! tacky! vulgar!

For girls who spend 80% of their time dieting.

Two florets of broccoli would be a much better gift than chocolate. More importantly, girls can easily tell that the guy hasn't put any thought into it.

That's the most fatal part.

Li Haoyu felt that sending flowers was acceptable, but it had to be done casually to create a romantic feeling. If one was too rigid in the formalities, it would naturally go against the meaning of sending flowers between lovers.

If you could casually buy a bunch of daisies on your way home from get off work, grab them from a newspaper, tie a piece of twine to the bottom, and give them to her on your way home, Li Haoyu believed no girl would dislike it.

As Li Haoyu got into the car, he casually handed the flowers to Xu Hongdou. He said to her with a cheeky grin, "Thanks to you, the boss gave me these flowers."

He kept saying my girlfriend was very pretty.

Xu Hongdou was clearly quite happy.

She instinctively took the flowers. "Thank you. But I still have to complain a bit. I treated you to dinner, and you didn't even buy the flowers yourself. That shows a lack of sincerity."

Li Haoyu said in surprise, "You're going to hurt my feelings. After all, this is the first time I've ever given flowers to a girl. Aren't you satisfied with this sincerity?"

"Then I can't help but cry. If you really don't want it, give it back to me quickly. If I meet a pretty girl later, I can use it to present to Buddha."

As soon as Li Haoyu finished speaking, he reached out to take the flowers back.

Xu Hongdou didn't hold back and forcefully slapped Li Haoyu's hand away. "Don't you know the rules? A gift given is like water spilled; you can't even be friends with someone who acts like this!"

Li Haoyu said "Oh", "Then don't say any more, just take it and that's it."

When Li Haoyu drove away, he made a point of waving his hand as a way of thanking him.

This made the boss smile knowingly; "This rascal has a bit of my youthful charm. It's just that another good girl is about to be ruined."

The two soon arrived at a food street. ๐Ÿเต  ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒท

There are no shops here, only food carts, but it's said that the snacks here are the most authentic. The two of them also tried Erkuai (a type of rice cake) for the first time. It's a very famous snack.

One of the eighteen oddities of Yunnan is: rice cakes and roasted rice cakes.

Erkuai is made from high-quality rice and generally comes in three forms: slices, shreds, and chunks. Erkuai can be eaten as a snack or for breakfast, or as a main dish for lunch or dinner, stir-fried, offering a variety of ways to enjoy it.

What Xu Hongdou and Li Haoyu ate was the most famous Tengchong "Da Jiu Jia" (a local dish).

The rice cake is cut into thin slices and triangles, and then stir-fried with eggs, pickled chili peppers, tomatoes, cabbage hearts, scallions and other seasonings. The important point is that no soy sauce is added, and salt is used to make the salty taste.

Li Haoyu watched as Xu Hongdou ate with great relish.

He couldn't help but say, "Do you know there's another story behind this?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Haoyu and said.

"Then why don't you tell me?"

After saying that, Li Haoyu picked up his phone and read aloud, "It is said that when Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Kunming in the early Qing Dynasty, the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty fled to western Yunnan."

"A farming family made this dish for him, and the emperor praised it highly, saying it saved his life. Thus, it became known as the 'Great Savior.' Now you know why?"

Li Haoyu's actions left Xu Hongdou both amused and exasperated.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "Even if you wanted to look at the cheat sheets, you didn't have to be so blatant, did you?"

Li Haoyu said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? We're all adults. Is it really necessary to play all that fancy game?"

"If you say that again, will you say you've learned anything? If you have, quickly call me Teacher Li."

Xu Hongdou was amused.

She couldn't help but say, "I've learned a lot, Teacher Li. Are you satisfied now?"

Li Haoyu nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, that's enough that you've learned something. Hurry up and eat, we still have to continue our journey later."

However, this fried rice cake is indeed quite delicious.

It won unanimous praise from Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou.

Although it's a bit spicy, the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes.

The boss was still enthusiastically saying something from the side.

"If there's not enough chili, we can add more anytime."

Li Haoyu nodded repeatedly, "Boss, this is already exciting enough. If you add any more, I'm afraid I'll really breathe fire."

After the two thanked the boss,

The two set off before nightfall.

Their destination this time was Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in the Naxi language.

This snow-capped mountain, which combines various natural landscapes of subtropical, temperate and frigid zones, is said to be the incarnation of "Sanduo," the guardian deity of the Naxi people, and has always been regarded as a sacred mountain by the Naxi people.

The cable car will take you to an altitude of 4500 meters, and the rest of the journey is up to you, step by step, until you reach the highest point of Yulong Mountain.

This was a place that Xu Hongdou herself suggested coming to.

You should know that Xu Hongdou actually had two choices.

One is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the other is Meili Snow Mountain.

Actually, Li Haoyu recommended that Xu Hongdou go to Meili Snow Mountain, where you can take a cable car up. It's much more relaxing, and the scenery is just as good as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

However, after reading the descriptions of the two snow-capped mountains, Xu Hongdou...

She made a decision instantly.

She said directly, "Meili Snow Mountain is for viewing, while Yulong Snow Mountain is the only snow mountain in China that can be climbed. Don't you want to look out from the summit of Yulong Snow Mountain?"

"If you chicken out, I can go alone."

After Xu Hongdou finished speaking, she even gave Li Haoyu a provocative look.

This is absolutely intolerable! No guy can tolerate a girl asking him if he's okay with it. Especially since it was Xu Hongdou who said it.

So Li Haoyu agreed without hesitation.

The two set off immediately after exploring the ancient city.

It's important to know that Jade Dragon Snow Mountain isn't covered in snow year-round. The snow scenery is usually most beautiful from late December to April of the following year, making it the best time to visit. So Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou were lucky to have arrived at the right time.

The entire route was paved with wide asphalt roads, after all, Yulong Mountain is the top tourist attraction in the area. It would be ridiculous if the most basic roads were not easy to travel on.

So, in just one night, the two arrived at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Even before climbing the mountain, they had already felt its charm.

Because after the rainy season, the weather here is mostly sunny every day, and the snow-capped mountains, which have just been covered in snow, are majestic and magnificent. On a clear day, all you can see are spectacular snow-capped mountains and enchanting snowflakes.

Who wouldn't love this kind of scene?

Neither of them slept all night, but they were both very excited.

So Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou planned to climb the mountain in the early morning. That way, they could take advantage of the darkness and avoid queuing with other tourists.

However, currently the only way up is by cable car, and the ticket price isn't cheap either. The large cable car currently costs 140 yuan per person.

Li Haoyu reminded Xu Hongdou, "It might be a bit shaky when we go up the mountain, so be careful. Don't forget that you have a pair of strong arms beside you when you're scared."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu. "Don't underestimate me, okay? But I have a question. How did they build a cable car on such a high mountain? It must have taken a lot of effort."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say, "Why are you even using an accent? This isn't Northeast China. Have you lost your mind?"

Xu Hongdou said, "What do you know? I was just trying to liven things up. You boring man."

Li Haoyu said, "I don't know either, but I'm sure it will be very difficult. But it won't be a problem for us. You've seen the speed of China before, haven't you?"

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.

"I didn't realize you had such sound values!"

Li Haoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "That's not it, I'm just telling the truth."

"Anyway, I can't stand so many 'bananas' (people who are Westernized by nature). They don't understand one principle: only when the country is strong can they stand tall."

Xu Hongdou didn't say much; however, there seemed to be something indescribable in her gaze towards Li Haoyu.

However, the real test begins after you get off the cable car.

The majestic scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain finally unfolded before the two; thirteen snow-capped peaks stretched endlessly, resembling a "giant dragon" leaping and dancing, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is covered in snow all year round, instantly giving people a refreshing feeling of "snow in June". But the joy brought by the beautiful scenery is short-lived. For Xu Hongdou, what follows is a feeling of lack of oxygen.

Li Haoyu noticed that Xu Hongdou was having trouble breathing.

He knew that Xu Hongdou was about to collapse.

The height of Jade Dragon Mountain is challenging even for professionals, let alone a frail woman like Xu Hongdou.

Climbing mountains is a very strenuous activity. At that time, you will experience the pain of carrying a heavy load, and your legs and heart will tremble violently at the same time.

Breathing becomes a labored struggle, and bodily sensations quickly travel to the mind, gradually eroding the initial resolve. That's why you often see people giving up on the mountain trails.

Traveling is tiring.

Climbing mountains is even more tiring.

But Li Haoyu didn't say anything to make Xu Hongdou give up.

Seeing Xu Hongdou's trembling yet persistent steps forward, Li Haoyu knew there was no point in saying anything; even if he did, Xu Hongdou wouldn't listen.

Xu Hongdou doesn't just want a word of encouragement. She wants your support, and to show your attitude and sincerity.

Li Haoyu whispered to Xu Hongdou, "Hold onto my belt, that will make things easier for you."

Xu Hongdou said a little embarrassedly, "Isn't this inappropriate? Even though there aren't many people here, it's still a bit embarrassing."

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou with a serious expression.

"Then it depends on whether you want to conquer Jade Dragon Mountain or be conquered by it. I admire your persistence, but it would be foolish to blindly ignore the objective conditions."

"I've known you for so long, you don't expect me to teach you this simple thing, do you?"

Xu Hongdou was faced with Li Haoyu's sudden sternness.

She was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that she hadn't answered yet, Li Haoyu said, "Actually, there's another option. If you can't accept that, you can try the second one."

Xu Hongdou said excitedly.

"Why didn't you say so sooner if you had other ideas?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "I can just carry you up there. What do you think of this plan?"

"what!"

Xu Hongdou stammered.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Li Haoyu said, "You don't have much time left. If you don't say anything, I'll assume you've chosen the second option."

Seeing that Xu Hongdou remained unmoved, Li Haoyu said, "I'll give you ten seconds. If there's no result, I'll just take matters into my own hands. Ten...nine...three..."

"I see."

Xu Hongdou's voice was barely audible, but her hand still obediently rested on Li Haoyu's waist.

Li Haoyu didn't say much.

He simply slowed down his pace to make it easier for Xu Hongdou to keep up with him.

He looked at Xu Hongdou and said, "Your attitude is pretty good. Let me tell you a little secret. If you feel that breathing through your nose alone isn't enough, try breathing through both your nose and mouth at the same time."

Li Haoyu then pointed to Xu Hongdou's lower abdomen, saying, "You need to breathe with your abdomen, not your chest. Take deep breaths, and then lower your breathing rate; it will help you regain your rhythm."

Xu Hongdou adjusted herself according to Li Haoyu's method. She seemed to feel much lighter, and she had regained control of her body.

She followed behind Li Haoyu the whole time.

Xu Hongdou suddenly felt extremely safe. She no longer thought about reaching the summit; all she could think about was staying close to Li Haoyu and not falling behind.

Li Haoyu suddenly stopped:

This caused Xu Hongdou's head to collide directly with Li Haoyu's back.

While Xu Hongdou was still wondering:

Li Haoyu's voice came directly over, "This time you can stop and look back."

Xu Hongdou turned her head and saw that she had already reached the top.

Behind the two, travelers continued their climb.

Behind them was a young couple. Seeing that Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou's crazy trick actually worked, they tried to imitate it.

But it's unclear whether the guy overestimated his physical strength or underestimated his girlfriend's weight. His girlfriend actually removed his belt.

The boy tried his best to cover it up, but the girl casually threw his belt away. All he could say in despair was, "Holy crap, my pants fell down!"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Hongdou and Li Haoyu watched this scene unfold.

The two of them laughed simultaneously.
