Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Chapter 177 The Charming Bar Owner 24

Liu Yunshu and Pei Yu'an are taking a walk hand in hand on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

At the summit of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the pristine white snow shimmers with a lustrous sheen under the clear sunlight.

The mountain wind, carrying a biting chill, swept across their clasped fingers, but the warmth of their intertwined bodies quietly melted away the chill.

Liu Yunshu pulled her thick coat tighter, and the white mist she exhaled when she looked up blurred her eyebrows and eyes, with a touch of frostbite on the tip of her nose.

Pei Yu'an gazed at the snow-capped peaks that pierced the clouds, and let out a soft sigh: "Only when you stand in front of a snow-capped mountain can you truly understand what magnificence is."

Liu Yunshu followed his gaze, gently hooked her fingertip in his palm, and smiled:

"Isn't it breathtaking? This is the masterpiece of nature. Standing here, I feel as if my soul has been cleansed."

Pei Yu'an looked down at her and saw that the tip of her nose was red. He quickly raised his hand to cover her face, the warmth of his palm soothing her slightly cool skin: "Are you cold?"

With malicious intent, Liu Yunshu stuffed her cold fingertips into his collar.

When he touched the warm skin, he felt Pei Yu'an stiffen, and then chuckled softly.

Before he could react, she turned and ran towards the viewing platform, her skirt sweeping across the snow-covered stone steps, leaving a trail of light footprints.

"Come and chase me, Little Pei!"

She turned back and smiled at him, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons, the blush on the tip of her nose standing out vividly against the snow-white background.

Pei Yu'an was both angry and amused. He quickly followed, the mountain wind lifting the hem of his clothes, carrying the crisp scent of snow.

"Don't run too fast, the road is slippery here!"

His voice held a helpless indulgence, but his steps unconsciously became lighter, his gaze fixed on her graceful back.

Liu Yunshu deliberately slowed down, and when he was about to catch up, she laughed and took two more steps forward.

Until he firmly grasped her wrist and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Got you?"

Pei Yu'an looked down at her, his breath carrying the chill of thin snow, falling on her reddened earlobe. "Still dare to be naughty?"

She looked up at him, her eyes reflecting the shimmering light of the snow-capped peaks, and reached out to pinch his slightly chilly earlobe: "Who told you to be so slow?"

Before she could finish speaking, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with his.

The crisp mountain breeze seemed to stand still at this moment, leaving only the intertwined breaths of the two people, blending into the silence of the distant snow-capped mountains.

People passing by looked at them with smiles, and couples walking together exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with the same tenderness and understanding.

As soon as Liu's mother and father arrived near the observation deck, they saw a young couple kissing passionately.

"Oh my, these young people are really shameless."

Liu's mother smiled and moved to the side, deliberately turning her back, but she couldn't help but glance over there out of the corner of her eye.

Liu's father patted her shoulder helplessly, glanced at the couple, and then subconsciously looked away.

"Hey Lao Liu!" Liu's mother nudged Liu's father with her elbow.

"I wish Yun Shu and Chen Yu were like that. Last time I heard from A Fang that Chen Yu was being all lovey-dovey with another woman."

Father Liu frowned, his tone turning serious: "We don't know if this is true or not. When we get back, we'll have to ask Yun Shu about it. She's the type to only report good news and not bad. Maybe she's been wronged and doesn't want to tell us."

He gazed at the figures standing side by side in the distance, his voice filled with worry.

"That kid Chen Yu is unreliable. He shouldn't have let Yun Shu marry him in the first place."

Mother Liu sighed, withdrew her gaze, and a look of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

"Who says otherwise? Let's go back and see. If it's true, I'll skin Chen Yu alive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the young couple finally separated. The girl turned around and raised her hand to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

The moment Liu's mother's gaze fell on that face, she froze, swallowed the words she was about to say, and nudged Liu's father with her elbow.

"Old Liu! Look! Isn't that... isn't that Yun Shu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu's father was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.

Under the sunlight, Liu Yunshu's profile was clearly defined, with a lingering blush on the tip of her nose and a light smile in her eyes.

She was looking up at the boy next to her, saying something, and the light in her eyes was more dazzling than the glow of a snow-capped mountain.

The boy standing next to her was gently adjusting the collar of her coat, his movements natural and intimate.

That appearance was nothing like his son-in-law, Chen Yu.

Mr. Liu stood there, stunned, his voice filled with disbelief: "What! What happened?!"

He stared intently at Pei Yu'an's profile; the young man's features were vibrant, and his gaze toward Yun Shu was filled with undisguised tenderness.

That intimacy was definitely not the kind of intimacy that ordinary friends should have.

Liu Yunshu was completely unaware of the shocked gazes of her parents not far away, and was still laughing and teasing Pei Yu'an.

"I ran too fast just now, and my shoes are covered in snow."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yu'an immediately knelt down and helped her brush the snow off her shoes.

His fingertips moved gently, as if afraid her feet would get cold, and he kept saying, "I told you not to run, what if you get cold?"

This scene, witnessed by Liu's mother, instantly gave her a very good first impression of Pei Yu'an.

This young man's thoughtfulness and consideration are far superior to Chen Yu's cold and selfish nature.

She quietly tugged at Liu's father's sleeve, lowered her voice, and spoke with a complex mix of relief and reassurance.

"Look at this child, how much he cares about Yun Shu, he's much more reliable than Chen Yu..."

Mr. Liu's brows remained furrowed, but he did not refute.

He watched Pei Yu'an carefully adjust Liu Yunshu's scarf, and watched Liu Yunshu smile as she reached out and ruffled his hair. It was a look of ease and brightness that he hadn't seen on his daughter's face in a long time.

In the past, when Yun Shu mentioned Chen Yu, there was always a faint sense of estrangement and weariness in her eyes.

But at this moment, her smile was vivid and genuine, as if it had been completely illuminated by the sunlight on the snow-capped mountain.

"Don't make a fuss yet." Father Liu couldn't help but smile, and pulled Mother Liu to hide in the viewing pavilion next to them.

"Let's assess the situation first, so as not to frighten Yunshu."

Pei Yu'an took Liu Yunshu's hand and smiled gently at her, "Sister Liu, let's go take a look over there."

Liu Yunshu smiled and nodded, letting him lead her towards the viewing pavilion. Her feet crunched softly on the snow.

"I heard that you can see a panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains from here, and the angle is particularly good."

She looked up at the snow-capped peaks so close at hand, her voice filled with joy.

Pei Yu'an tightened his grip on her hand, the warmth of his palm dispelling the chill of the mountain wind: "Then let's walk slowly, don't rush."

Behind them, Liu's parents secretly followed.

"Hey! Old Liu, did you hear that? That young man called Yun Shu 'Sister Liu'! That means he's younger than Yun Shu! Our daughter's got potential!"

Liu's mother lowered her voice, her tone tinged with surprise, and couldn't help but glance at Pei Yu'an a few more times.

"He seems quite mature, not like a reckless child. I just wonder how old he is and what his family does."

Mr. Liu glanced at his wife smugly and said, "Of course, Yun Shu is a famous beauty in the surrounding area. It's his good fortune to have won her favor."

Although he said that, his brows were still not completely relaxed.

"The only problem is that he's so young. Is he still in school? Is he capable of taking care of Yunshu?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Yun Shu has her own money and can live a good life. What we want is someone who is genuinely good to her, not someone who is after her family's wealth."

Mother Liu patted Father Liu's arm, her gaze following their clasped hands, growing more and more satisfied with the sight.

"Look at the two of them, they hold hands every step they take, their eyes are only for each other. When has Chen Yu ever acted like that?"

Liu's father remained silent, feeling somewhat relieved.

He recalled the scene when the two of them returned home a few years ago, and then he remembered Chen Yu being pulled and tugged by a woman, and the scales in his heart tipped in favor of Pei Yu'an.

Liu Yunshu and Pei Yu'an were so engrossed in their own worlds that they were completely unaware of the two pairs of eyes that were quietly following them.

Liu's parents followed silently the whole way.

The more Liu's mother looked, the more gratified she became, and she couldn't help but whisper in Liu's father's ear:

"Look, even his voice is so gentle. Yun Shu is truly happy with him."

Mr. Liu nodded, his gaze fixed on his daughter's face, completely absorbed in looking at her.

Suddenly, Pei Yu'an took out a thermos from his backpack, unscrewed it, and carefully handed it to Liu Yunshu's lips, saying softly, "Have some hot water to warm yourself up first."

Liu Yunshu tilted her head back and took two sips, and Pei Yu'an took the thermos and also took two sips, their actions intimate and natural.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Liu's mother, who couldn't help but tug at Liu's father's sleeve.

"Old Liu, let's stop hiding and go out to say hello to the kids."

Just as Liu's father nodded, Liu Yunshu turned around and her gaze met his.

Her smile froze instantly, and she nearly dropped the thermos. She exclaimed in surprise, "Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?"

What?! Sister Liu's parents?!

Pei Yu'an's mind went blank for a moment, and he almost dropped the thermos in his hand. His ears suddenly felt hot, and his neck turned a light red.

He instinctively straightened up, looking at Liu Yunshu helplessly, his eyes filled with panic.

What should I do? Will his aunt and uncle think he's too young and unreliable, or even misunderstand and think he ruined Liu Yunshu's marriage?

Pei Yu'an's heartbeat instantly became erratic, his fingers instinctively tightened around the thermos, and even his ears felt incredibly hot.
