Chapter 201

The air conditioning was not on in the RV.

Yet white mist could still be seen blurring the window glass on both sides.

The plants along the road began to fade.

The lush branches and leaves of the south at this time.

The farther north, the fewer there were.

The remaining leaves on the branches grew ever scarcer.

Fallen leaves covered the ground.

The few remaining withered yellow leaves hung precariously in the cold wind.

By evening the next day, the sky was overcast.

The RV drove into the Jingji region.

Mountains rose endlessly on both sides of the road, and vast groves of maple trees began to appear.

The northern maple trees are unique; they are the most beautiful scenery in the north during late autumn and early winter.

Every year in November and December.

It is the best time to admire the maple forests.

Along both sides of the road, more and more maple forests appeared.

The route descended from the national highway.

There were two roads.

Either pass directly through the urban area of the Jingji region.

That would take more time, but the benefit is one could enjoy the city scenery.

After all, the Jingji region possesses two major cities.

And the other road.

Required passing through the suburban areas of the Jingji region.

This would avoid the city center and be faster.

Until the afternoon, near dusk, there was some minor congestion at the toll station entrance ahead.

Several tour buses, packed with tourists, bore the words "Xiangshan Tour Group."

Ning Chen could see the tourists in the bus; they seemed very joyful.

They did not mind the traffic jam; instead, they began to sing inside the vehicle.

People in the surrounding cars seemed infected by this atmosphere.

The road rage that had existed vanished completely in that moment.

The RV followed behind that singing and dancing tour bus.

The windows of the bus were open.

Ning Chen's RV followed behind.

He could hear the male and female chorus from the bus ahead.

They were truly happy.

In the Brother Shiguang livestream, the viewers also heard the singing from the bus ahead.

【Brother Shiguang, look, how happy they are~】

【Yes, but why haven't you smiled once all day?】

【This season is perfect for everyone to travel together; the northern maple forests are beautiful, mountains and fields covered in red and gold. But if one is alone, one might feel lonely.】

【A maiden yearns for spring, a poet mourns autumn; our streamer is a poet~】

【I wonder what Brother Shiguang is thinking now; the bus ahead is so joyful, yet he follows behind alone.】

【The people in the bus would never think there is a talkative fellow following behind.】

The bus drove straight ahead.

Finally, it began to climb a winding mountain road.

Streamer Brother Shiguang's RV was behind as well.

This is Xiangshan.

This streamer actually followed the bus all the way up Xiangshan.

As the sun set, the entire Xiangshan was covered in gold and red.

Those were red leaves, the red leaves of the maple forests, coloring every layer of the forest.

The west wind blew, and the red leaves of the maple forests rustled loudly; gold and red danced through the sky.

With a brake, the RV stopped.

In the livestream, viewers saw streamer Brother Shiguang stop at a clearing halfway up the mountain.

That clearing had an excellent view.

One could gaze into the distance, and looking up, see the maple forests covering mountains and fields.

The air was filled with maple leaves blown down by the west wind, like countless gold-and-red butterflies fluttering.

The RV was parked right among them.

Viewers saw this silent streamer named Brother Shiguang.

Open the RV and step down.

Lifting his head, the wind ruffled his hair; he looked at the maple leaves dancing through the sky.

139. (4/6) You chased me, so how could I not run...

From Did Ning Chen's position.

One could see a stretch of lawn at the foot of the mountain.

The grass had already begun to wither.

The tour bus from before was parked beside it.

By now, everyone on the bus had gotten off.

There were men and women, elders and children alike.

They stood there, and one could hear their chatter and laughter, along with the children's playful shouts.

A gust of fierce wind swept in.

The maple forest across the whole mountain rustled loudly.

Amid the skyful of red leaves.

The people below let out cries of wonder, one after another.

They held cameras, or steadied their phones, capturing the skyful of red leaves.

A young couple — the woman nestled in the man's arms — flashed peace signs, asking someone to take their photo; the girl beamed like a flower in bloom.

Children chased the red leaves in the air, calling out and shouting as if catching butterflies; the red sprites in the sky hovered near and far, elusive with them.

An old man, white-haired and frail, a walking stick in hand, stood on a viewing platform not far off, gazing out over the whole of Xiangshan before him.

Then there was a family of three — a man and a woman with a little girl — who had spread a picnic cloth on the lawn nearby, with a small triangular tent; the little girl danced about in high spirits, hopping with joy.

It was a scene of perfect harmony.

Every person in the picture was so happy.

They savored the pleasure that late-autumn Xiangshan brought them, admiring the dance of the skyful of red sprites.

No one knew, and no one cared.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a black RV.

A silent man was quietly watching them.

In his eyes, looking at the happiness below, there showed only envy and jealousy.

In Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

The viewers could only see the streamer Brother Shiguang from behind, and his hair tousled by the wind.

Far below in the distance.

The viewers could see the small tour group down there, freely enjoying themselves, playing, and laughing.

【What do you think our Brother Shiguang is thinking about?】

【No idea. Probably feeling that traveling alone is a bit boring?】
