Chapter 1830: If I were to get injured, you would be finished.
An Lan subconsciously grabbed the collar on Xu Baohan’s neck.
She thought that if he were to kiss her now, she would definitely not being able to avoid it.
However, she soon noticed that the pair of dark eyes after frozen for a moment staring at her had resumed to its clarity and calmness.
He asked again in a low and hoarse voice, “Say it again.”
An Lan also calmed down quickly. What was she thinking about earlier? She was so nervous that she thought he might have kissed her. “I said, put me down. There’s still an hour for you to walk, especially the last half an hour. It’s all steep slopes and stairs.”
“That’s why I have to hold you until the last half an hour so that you can conserve your energy,” Xu Baohan replied as he carried her up a little.
An Lan took a deep breath. “It’s not the moment to flaunt your superiority. You would not be able to stand it.”
“An Lan, I might be in the office most of the time, but I have a very good stamina. I’ve been jogging for ten years without fail,” Xu Baohan explained in a low voice.
An Lan stared at him in astonishment. She wouldn’t be able to do it even for a week. “How did you do it?”
Xu Baohan’s eyes which were as deep as the ocean exuded a thin line of smile, ” Actually, the work pressure of being a judge is quite stressful. Occasionally, besides working, you would have to exercise so that you could maintain a healthy body and mind. I don’t want to be occupied by work alone and sacrifice my health.”
All of a sudden, An Lan was enlightened. She admired him at this instance. In the past, in order to earn more money, she would always stay up late and work overtime. Occasionally, she would have to fly to several cities in a day. It was actually quite tiring and taxing. Everyday, all she wanted was to find a bed to rest. In fact. when she got older, the side effects of this overworking during her youth would surface.
“Actually, there’s another reason.” Xu Baohan unexpectedly shared his feelings. “It’s because I don’t have a partner to sleep beside me. To me, there’s no one that I could attach to on the big bed that I sleep on it every night.”
“...”
This issue was a little off-topic.
An Lan’s ears were burning.
She pretended not hearing and said, “Since you have so much strength, then I would have to trouble you. If I were to get injured, you would be finished.”
An Lan then closed her eyes, not looking at or communicating with him.
Xu Baohan looked at her with a smile. He then continued to move forward with determination.
Everyone thought that he could only hold on for a short while, but they didn’t expect him to carry An Lan walking on the mountain road for another half an hour.
Those men who weren’t convinced couldn’t help but admire of his good stamina.
An Lan remembered what Yan Wen had mentioned before this about ‘good at bed’. Now that she thought of it, he should be pretty good at it.
Nevertheless, pretty good was whether it actually meant good or bad.
Unconsciously, what she thought had made her heart burning.
It wasn’t until Xu Baohan stopped in front of the stairs that he woke her up. “An Lan, the stone stairs in front of us are too steep. It’s not safe for me to carry you up. You have to climb it on your own.”
An Lan opened her eyes. Xu Baohan put her down and adjusted her clothes.
After carrying her for quite some time, his handsome face was flushed. There was sweat on his forehead and nose, but his had no body odor.
Although he volunteered to carry her, An Lan still felt embarrassed. “You better drink some water. Do you want to rest here for a moment and eat some fruit?”
“We can rest when we walk a bit further up,” Xu Baohan replied swiftly, “I just noticed that there are stalls selling food in the arbor up there. Did you mention that you didn’t like to eat the food I brought? When we reach there, let’s see if there’s any fresh fruit sold by the farmers nearby.”
