Chapter 119 Midnight Disturbance
After navigating countless S-shaped bends, An Xiaoyue finally saw the red bus that the receptionist had mentioned.
The building's exterior is shaped like a bus body, and the roof is designed in a triangular shape using insulating and waterproof materials.
The area around the car was an open space, where fallen pine needles and pine cones had been swept away, revealing the bare ground.
A small table made from a thick log was placed on the ground, with firewood and collected pine cones neatly piled up, and a stove for burning.
Judging from the signs of use on the stove, it is still usable for making a fire.
However, neither she nor Fu Shengyang likely possess the skill of starting a fire, so they'll just be good for show.
She wandered around.
Their room was at the highest point, with a wide view of the courtyard that was almost level with the horizon.
Fu Shengyang tidied up the room, laid out the clean bedding he had brought, and washed and wiped all the items before standing at the door and calling her.
"You can come in."
An Xiaoyue stood at the doorway. The space inside was limited, but it was bathed in a warm orange hue by the sunset streaming through the window.
Her gaze fell on the bed, which was 1.2 meters wide. Apart from the necessary furnishings, the remaining space was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
"When Qiao Xun made the reservation, this was the only room available," Fu Shengyang explained calmly.
An Xiaoyue originally wanted to say that it was fine.
But thinking that the two of them would practically have to sleep embracing each other to avoid falling off the bed, they chose to remain silent.
What she wanted was a cramped place to stay in this boundless environment.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like healing one's insignificance in nature.
Here, besides resting in bed, you can also grab a camping chair, light a fire in the open space by the door to keep warm and enjoy the scenery.
An Xiaoyue felt quite good about spending the next two days here.
"Would you like some coffee?" Fu Shengyang had been busy all day, and she hadn't done anything for him, so she felt a little guilty.
Fu Shengyang's gaze fell on the stove in the courtyard, and he understood.
He said, "Okay."
An Xiaoyue doesn't know how to start a fire, but she can ask the staff for help.
Shortly after she made the call, staff came upstairs.
The air here is damp and cold, and the temperature drops drastically after sunset. Fire prevention measures are in place all around, so using fire will not cause a fire, which is why the hotel dares to keep firewood on hand.
You can start a fire and have a barbecue here. This is one of the hotel's unique features.
The staff used collected pine needles and fallen leaves to start a fire, and it quickly got going.
An Xiaoyue took over and was responsible for watching the fire and boiling water. While waiting for the water to boil, she started grinding coffee beans.
Fu Shengyang carried a camping chair and sat down next to her, stretching out his long legs and letting the setting sun shine on him.
The horizon was close at hand, and a round sun was setting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bonfire, sunset, coffee.
Cold wind, pine resin, small moon.
Everything pleased him.
Xiaoyue had seen him make pour-over coffee before, and he poured water quite skillfully.
After letting it sit for a few minutes, a cup of coffee with the aroma of citrus and grapefruit is ready.
"Try it."
An Xiaoyue handed it to him, her round, bright eyes full of anticipation.
Amidst the rising steam, Fu Shengyang looked up, and she asked, "How is it?"
"Try it." Fu Shengyang held the coffee cup to her lips.
Pregnant women can drink coffee as long as the amount is controlled.
Afraid that she might not have made it taste good, she took a sip from Fu Shengyang's hand, letting the coffee linger in her mouth for a few seconds before swallowing.
It has a smooth and rounded texture, with a bittersweet taste that is hinted at by chocolate and honey.
It tastes pretty good.
Why did Fu Shengyang want her to try it?
She asked, "Doesn't it taste good?"
"What do you think?" Fu Shengyang asked instead of answering.
An Xiaoyue had no idea what he was thinking, so she could only honestly say, "I think it tastes good."
Fu Shengyang: "That's why it tastes good."
An Xiaoyue:......
Fu Shengyang didn't say much, his smiling gaze shifting elsewhere, his beautifully shaped lips parting slightly as he took another sip of coffee.
It was just a cup of coffee, but Fu Shengyang tasted a sense of preciousness, as if it were the only cup of coffee in the world.
An Xiaoyue couldn't understand, so she used the fire tongs to stir the firewood in the stove to prevent it from going out.
As the sun sets and the light fades, the temperature drops significantly.
Dinner was delivered directly from the hotel; it consisted of sandwiches, vegetable salad, ham, cherries, and red kiwis.
The staff said that the fruits were all grown by farmers at the foot of the mountain, in order to boost the income of the villagers.
An Xiaoyue noticed this when she checked in: most of the staff here were residents from the surrounding area.
The two of them didn't move and remained by the fire, eating their dinner.
Perhaps because she ate too much during the Spring Festival, An Xiaoyue is now enjoying a light and guilt-free meal with extra relish.
She couldn't eat the fruit right away, so she saved it for a late-night snack.
In the distance, several more bonfires were lit, and the cold wind carried an even stronger smell of firewood.
I don't know who's grilling it, but the aroma of meat is filling the air.
The sky was dark, and the firelight reflected on their faces.
The two of them just sat there quietly, exuding a unique sense of inner peace and relaxation.
In the distance, there was a lively atmosphere, with solo guitar performances and duets.
After listening for a while, their fire went out, and they gradually felt cold.
"Let's wash up and go to bed," Fu Shengyang suggested.
An Xiaoyue: "Okay."
Fu Shengyang carried the kettle from the stove into the house, put some water into a thermos and some into a basin lined with a plastic bag, and gave it to Xiaoyue to soak her feet.
It's cold at night, so soak your feet before going to sleep, and Xiaoyue's feet will warm up.
Perhaps she was too tired today, or perhaps Fu Shengyang's chest behind her was too warm, An Xiaoyue soon fell into a deep sleep.
The bed was only 1.2 meters wide, and the two of them slept almost touching each other.
Fu Shengyang drank coffee in the evening and couldn't sleep well at night.
There are no city lights in the mountains; through the small window, you can see the little stars shining in the deep blue sky.
He rested one hand on his head, wrapped the other arm around Xiaoyue's waist, and placed his large hand on her pregnant belly, maintaining a side-lying position while looking out the window.
With his little Yue sleeping soundly in his arms, he was in an exceptionally good mood.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came.
Fu Shengyang assumed it was just the sound of staff patrolling and didn't pay any attention.
But then came the woman's moaning, interspersed with vulgar language from their conversation.
In the darkness, Fu Shengyang's face darkened, and he groped for his hand to place on Xiaoyue's ear.
The two seemed unaware that people lived there, and their voices became increasingly unrestrained.
The woman's soft screams and the man's low growls as he charged forward rose and fell.
When An Xiaoyue was woken up, she heard these sounds, along with a woman's comfortable moan, "Yes! Mmm! That's it, you're amazing..."
