HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, Extra Chapter: If Not That Ending - That Day, You Are Still There

Xiang Hao Ting opened his eyes and he was dazed for a while, he didn't know where he is or who he is. His cheeks felt a little cold, like the feeling of being wet by water and being blown by the wind.

Didn't need to look too far. Yu Xi Gu's sleeping face was more pleasant than that in high school. The only thing that hadn't changed are the long eyelashes and pale complexion. Even if he started to run outdoors frequently in recent years, he wouldn’t get sunburn.

His breathing was deep and long, which is the best way to breathe on the mountain. In order to practice this breathing method, he and Xi Gu stared at each other's breathing frequency every day. They thought they were practicing Lamaze breathing method.

Ah, breathing... He slowly remembered that the place they were in was the Paiyun villa.

He dreamt of the original scene again. He was so scared that he was sweating all over. The sleeping bag became sultry and abnormal. Xiang Hao Ting looked out. There was a ray of dawn in the room. He thought that he could dry the cold sweat in a short time before the meal. Unexpectedly, he moved, and Yu Xi Gu opened his eyes lazily.

“Is it time?" he asked quietly, because there are not only two of them in the dormitory, but also other mountain climbers, it’s too loud and easy to fall into a quarrel.

"Not yet." Xiang Hao Ting said, pointing to his wet hair.

"Lustful..." Yu Xi Gu simply followed, finding a towel on his backpack to wipe for him. At the first side look he saw Xiang Hao Ting's face was ugly. He asked if he had a nightmare, but Xiang Hao Ting was shaking and his eyebrows were frowning!

“Had that nightmare?" Yu Xi Gu was a little distressed. After all, Hao Ting seemed a little restless before going to bed last night. It's not surprising that he had a nightmare.

“I dreamed that... The day you had an accident, your body was full of blood..." he was still scared because of that scene, because the details in his dream were very vivid, and the fear of that day was still embedded in his bone marrow.

That accident seriously injured Yu Xi Gu and even stopped his heartbeat for a while. In the dream, he even died, and left Xiang Hao Ting alone in the world.

A man is advancing slowly on the road of life. Even after he has been admitted to the University and entered the well-known Institute of physics, he has been accompanied by a person who he is always missing. It is like the heart has been hollowed out. No matter he is asleep or awake, he is in a state of deeply panic, and his face is full of tears even after he returned from his daze.

“How long has it been...?”  Yu Xi Gu squinted at the joy of being cared for and the tenderness to his lover “I'm still here. Don't worry. "

Xiang Hao Ting hugged the other man tightly, as if to embed him in his body. Yu Xi Gu is the most precious treasure that he walked hand in hand all the way. Don't say if he lost it. He will be distressed for a long time if he is away from it for long "Agreed to be together! No breach of that contract.”

All of a sudden, he felt that the man in his arms moved, and his hands on his back were shaking. Xiang Hao Ting was a few seconds late to realize what a stupid thing he had done.

How can I pass on the uneasy mood? Clearly, I cherish him so much. If I have trouble or unhappiness, I will swallow it myself!

Xiang Hao Ting blinked and said, with a slight increase in volume. “It should be yesterday's quarrel we had before going to bed!"

"You’re too noisy!" Yu Xi Gu quickly opened his mouth and reprimanded him because it would be bad to wake up other mountain climbing friends. "Keep it down, it's OK. I'm here, and I won't leave you alone."

Xiang Hao Ting blinked his big eyes, called his  name twice and nodded his head. The fear in his eyes had not completely disappeared, just like the cloud outside the window, which was hard to drift away even if you look after a while.

After breakfast with the group, they left the Paiyun villa. Today is the second day of mountaineering. Their group is scheduled to go back to the villa along the original road after directly reaching the mountain peak, and then go down the mountain tomorrow.

Xiang Hao Ting started to climb mountains after he went to university. Yu Xi Gu was not active for a long time and was thin. In addition, he spent a long time recuperating after the car accident. There are substantial restrictions on how he can do heavy exercise in the mountains and forests. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Therefore, they chose the less difficult, three-day and two-night mountaineering trip as the starting point of climbing hundreds of mountains after making full preparations.

They were walking on the way to the top. The selected backpack can effectively support the weight of the items without making their legs tire. At the beginning, Yu Xi Gu said that it's better to choose the cheaper one, Xiang Hao Ting would not let him. He said that he had done his homework, and backpack and climbing shoes are the most expensive things. "Carry your bag all day long. Your shoes carry your whole body weight!"

These two words made Yu Xi Gu compromise, but Xiang Hao Ting knew that there were not many active deposits on his bank, so he closed and down payment for him in private. When he was found out, he also asked for some skin time with a smile on his face. He said it was his husband's duty, which made him want to cry with amusement.

The two of them are the least qualified, so they were at the back of the line. Experienced leaders are walking at the back. They can respond and take care of anyone who falls behind or is not comfortable.

They didn't walk fast all the way. After all, they didn't have to rush down the mountain like if they were to do the climbing two days and a night. Xiang Hao Ting was silent, and only when Yu Xi Gu looked back at him did he immediately smile.

He was still thinking about last night's dream. He knew what the cause of the dream was. Many years ago, the scene at the intersection was still fresh in his memory. Although it did not cause regret, it firmly planted fear in Xiang Hao Ting's heart.

“How are you?" the leader asked after seeing Xiang Hao Ting's footsteps drifting.

"Ah? Ah! OK, I'm just thinking about things..." Xiang Hao Ting said.

"Pay attention. If you get hurt, you will have to go back to the villa to have a rest." The leader patted him on the shoulder and told him to lean forward as much as possible.

"There are two routes to climb the main peak of Yushan Mountain. The ‘The Eight Pass’ climb is relatively difficult. Even experienced mountaineers seldom use it. Instead, they choose the "Pagoda line Saddle Section" on the west side. This route has a complete climbing route planning and equipment, which is very friendly to beginners. At this time, as long as they hold the chains of the climbing path and pay attention to their steps, they can climb while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the distant mountains. The fog gradually dissipates while the sun was climbing. The air here was particularly fresh. Xiang Hao Ting quietly sped up his pace to catch up with Yu Xi Gu. Seeing that his head is full of sweat, he removed his something from his waist and wiped his sweat with a towel.

"Thank you." Yu Xi Gu remembers the breathing method and moved steadily up step by step, but he didn't miss the leader and Xiang Hao talk just now

The conversation of the court was talked between sucking and spitting, then he reluctantly said: “Still thinking about that dream?"

“Huh? No! I was thinking about how beautiful the scenery was when I hit the top!" Xiang Hao Ting lied casually.

"The beautiful scenery will make you forget that dream." Yu Xi Gu said with a smile.

He is no longer that young and immature boy. He has not been with Xiang Hao Ting for a day or two. He has special experience in his temper. He knew that he can't refute him at this time. It's only right to follow with his words, and it's meaningless to argue with him about whether he cares about words or not.

Yu Xi Gu returned the towel to him and continued to climb, but this time he did not forget to lead Xiang Hao Ting a few steps forward and then let go. It's very dangerous to hold hands when climbing, but staying closed and the palm temperature close together for a long time successfully made those fears and anxieties retreat to a deep and deep corner to stay, not disappear, but properly coexist.

At the moment of reaching the top, Xiang Hao Ting was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The view in front of them is green and blue. There are no clouds in the sky. There are mountains and forests everywhere. The sun shines down and makes the whole mountain forest shine like a layer of gold powder. But even in such a big sun, there is no heat. It's OK to wipe sweat from the hair. If you are not afraid of being caught cold by the wind.

The leader asked everyone to put their bags in the same area. Those who want to take photos can take advantage of this time. When they are hungry, they can also eat some bread and chocolate. When the time is up, they can go back to the Paiyun villa.

After spending a little time getting their breathing stable, most of them rushed to take photos in front of the monuments. The older mountaineers said they would take more photos to show off with their friends. The atmosphere was very warm.

Xiang Hao Ting didn't follow up with them. He took Yu Xi Gu to one side slowly and kept a distance from everyone. He also wants to take photos, but he wants to be with Yu Xi Gu. After all, he is only interested in mountains and sky, because Yu Xi Gu likes it.

“It's a pity that we can't come at night." Xiang Hao Ting said.

”It doesn't matter." Yu Xi Gu doesn't care much. Anyway, it's not their ultimate goal here, but their starting point. “When we get back to the villa, we can tell them that we have taken the first step and are getting closer to them!"

Their original goal was to attack the Himalayas and report everything to Yu Xi Gu's parents at the nearest place to the rose Nebula!

“Well, they must be very happy."

"Really?" Yu Xi Gu smiled sweetly, and quietly looked at the other people who were still taking photos and chatting at the monument to see the scenery. After making sure that no one was looking at them, he had the courage to kiss Xiang Hao Ting on the cheek. "Thank you.”  

“It's better to kiss more than say thank you!" Xiang Hao Ting raised his eyebrows to tease him.

“We are outside now!" Yu Xi Gu certainly can't kiss him here. He smiled at the other man without kissing. His alternative was to reach out quietly to Xiang Hao Ting's palm and make a silent promise that was more beautiful than any oath.

They were so addicted to the world of two of them that the leader said they would go down the mountain way earlier before they hurried to the monument to invite them to take photos

Friends helped to take a few pictures. They were so busy that the old people in the group laughed and said that the two children were so cute.

In the evening, the group members didn't go to bed early in the room, and they were still sharing the excitement of reaching the top of Yushan Mountain. They even made an appointment to continue climbing other peaks next time together. The laughter was heard frequently, and Yu Xi Gu was also affected by the emotion.

“Happy?" Xiang Hao Ting asked, holding hot cocoa in his hand.

“I'm very happy! I can come to see my parents with you. I'm very happy!" he grinned brightly. “By the way, are you still uncomfortable? Will you have tinnitus, dizziness or headache?"

"No!" Xiang Hao Ting knew that what he wants to ask is actually the dream rather than the physical condition, but the illusion is that he has never thought of the dream since he returned to the Paiyun mountain villa after reaching the top. Instead, he has calculated in his mind which mountains that he can climb next time. Yangming Mountain is not difficult, but it's very attractive to detour to a hot spring on the way if you know what I mean.

"That's good. Don't dream need to about anything. You and I need to live for a long time. We need to climb all the mountains of Taiwan to develop abroad base and conquer the highest peak in the world."

This wild hope sounded especially untrue, but they have many possibilities in the future. They don't worry about not realizing it, just afraid they haven't taken the first step. Today's Yushan summit is the first step.

Xiang Hao Ting let out an awkward laugh, said "No more dreams", and then looked up at the stars. Although the rose nebula is not visible, the stars are all connected.

"Father Yu, Mother Yu, I know you can hear us." He touched Yu Xi Gu's shoulder and held him in his arms. The other hand slipped a small box out of his pocket. He has been preparing for a long time. He thinks that it must be here to make sense.

Yu Xi Gu raised his face slightly to see him, but did not feel that his middle finger had been touched by the other side and held between his fingers. “We worked hard today to climb Yushan successfully. Unfortunately, we can't climb it at night, otherwise we can tell you directly. "

The man in his arms bumped his chest with the back of his head. It was very sweet

“In the future, we will continue to climb other mountains. Finally, we will climb the Himalayas. At the place closest to the stars, please rest assured and give me your son to love. Before we  get to the highest point, please wait patiently. I promise I will hold your son in my palm and treat him well. "

“What, so cautious......" Yu Xi Gu laughed at him.

 “Xi Gu.”

With this call, a hard ring went to the root of the middle finger. When Yu Xi Gu came back to see it, he raised his hand and found that it was a silver ring without any carving decoration. Only a diamond inlaid in the middle of the ring which was particularly shining, even brighter than the stars.

"This ring is an engagement ring." He carefully put another one into his palm, “It has our names engraved in it. I think in today's special day, there must be a special memorial for it."

 He also had to stress that this ring is not very expensive. It is the most suitable starting point for the two to move forward hand in hand, he was afraid that Yu Xi Gu will go scatter brain at the money he spent on the ring.

“When we're going to climb the Himalayas, it's going to be the wedding ring. You can't say no at that time. You can only say “I will."

"Xiang Hao Ting..." Yu Xi Gu was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and his palms were rubbing in his eyes.

Daojie scar, however, he didn't know whether to scold him for spending money recklessly, or to say that he was too careful to prepare such a surprise meticulously, which scared him to tears and he almost cried.

"No one does things like this!" he said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, I do!" said Xiang Hao Ting.

Then he urged Yu Xi Gu to put it on for him, and the cocoa thoroughly warmed skin while he could clearly feel the words engraved on the inner edge of the ring.

 He called "Xi Gu" in a low voice, and kissed his lips on his cheek. The sweet and strong cocoa fragrance became stronger and stronger as he breathed faster and faster. Finally, Yu Xi Gu was afraid that this place was outside and on the high mountain. This kind of thing that was easy to cause breathing disorder had to be avoided, so he stopped the hot kiss that gradually went out of control.

"The wedding ring then, for me." Yu Xi Gu was content to snuggle in Xiang Hao Ting's arms and use his coat to cover his body, only show his head outside, like a little ice land animal.

“Well, we can choose styles together. Sun Bo Xiang has pushed something for me to see. That one over there.”

The two chatted with each other. The stars twinkled and twinkled in front of them. It was like they decided to shine down hand in hand, giving blessings to the two men as gentle and dazzling.
