TimeNovel"Thank you." | looked up at him.
He was dressed in a white shirt and jeans. It was casual attire, yet under the blue sky, he looked like those
handsboys from back in those school days. It really got people's hearts racing. There was a faint smile on
his slender face, but his eyes that were looking atwere a little distant. After moving out of his arms, | was a
little afraid to look at him.
The bright sun was still illuminating the road ahead. Marius acted as though he was on steroids. He did not feel
tired, but | was already out of breath.
I really could not walk anymore, so | stopped. Seeing how there was still almost half the distance ahead of me, |
waved my hand and said while shaking my head. "I'm done. | can't go any farther." After that, | found a stone
and sat down on it. | wiped the sweat from my forehead with my bare hands.
"Marius, let's take a break." Seeinglike this, Drover called out to Marius, who was already several steps
ahead. He then took out a tissue from his backpack and handed it to me. "Use it."
"Thanks."

Marius cback down and looked atwith a look that said, 'you're a weak chicken.' He then complained
helplessly, "Sis Wan, your stamina sucks. Do you not exercise?"
I replied to him as | wiped away my sweat, "I've been busy with work. | haven't had tto exercise."
He narrowed his eyes, and he spoke in the tone of someone who had been through it, "Con, you. These are
all excuses. You only need to spare an hour every day to exercise."
| did not reply. | just glanced at him and could see the sweat on his face. He was still in high spirits, looking as if
he could reach the top with a burst of his vigor.
It was good to be young.
| turned to the side. Drover was sitting besideas if nothing was wrong. He had not even broken a sweat, and
that surpriseda little.
As if he could tell that | was surprised, Marius smiled. "Don't look at him. Drover is cold-blooded. He won't sweat
much no matter how high a mountain he climbs." How refreshing.
Drover also nodded as if to prove himself. "Yeah, I've always been like this."
His obvious distant attitude madefeel a little uncomfortable. We had obviously been happy the day before
yesterday.
However, his reaction yesterday also puzzledslightly, including his attitude after what he did. It all piqued
my curiosity. Drover got up again after a long time. "Let's go. We won't be able to arrive before dark if we rest for
too long."
"Okay." | slowly got up.

a short bit seemed to makeeven more tired, but seeing Marius'. enthusiasm, | did not want to ruin it for him.
Thus, | could only steel myself and climb on.
A voice suddenly sounded from beside me. "Have you never climbed a mountain before?"
It sounded like a question, but there was no doubt in Drover's tone. There was affirmation instead.
| had nothing to hide about this and sighed. "I've climbed mountains just once or twice, but they were all
relatively short climbs. I've never climbed a mountain this tall."
| said continuously before gasping for breath. It felt like | would have to spend extra energy uttering another
sentence.
The corners of Drover's mouth
twitched slightly. There was a softer
look in his eyes when he looked at me. "Sports are actually all the sMountain climbing is also a sport. As
long as you master your steps and your breath, you'll be able to relax a lot more."
"What about my breathing?" | did not understand. "I used to practice taking one breath every three steps when |
ran. Is this what you meant?"
"It's similar. When climbing a
mountain, as long as you try your best to follow your footsteps and exhale and inhale every step of the
way, it'll be much better." He taughtpatiently.
