Even After My Death

Chapter 69: Chapter 63 Random Tasks Chapter 69: Chapter 63 Random Tasks Capital City boasts many tourist attractions, and Jiang Ning would roam around occasionally when she was in college.

Unsure about Qi Xingzhou’s physical endurance, though Qi Xingzhou looked to be in good shape, it was possible he was naturally just a clothes rack who happened to have a perfect figure.

Jiang Ning drove Qi Xingzhou to the closest mountain nearby, an artificial scenic spot, with around six thousand steps from the foot to the summit. Jiang Ning had climbed it twice during college, and going up and down took less than two hours in total.

After parking the car at the mountain’s base, Jiang Ning stepped out and pointed to the mountain in front of them, saying to Qi Xingzhou, “We’ll climb up, come back down, and then I’ll treat you to some food.”

After all, she had previously charged his brother two million, so it was only right to treat Qi Xingzhou to a few meals.

Jiang Ning then asked, “Can you climb it?”

Qi Xingzhou stood by Jiang Ning’s side, followed the direction of her pointing finger, looked at the towering mountain, and nodded modestly.

With empty hands, Qi Xingzhou watched Jiang Ning open the back seat, take out a cross-body bag that she had just placed on the seat, and retrieve it.

Jiang Ning put her phone and car keys in the bag, slung it over her shoulder, and then took Qi Xingzhou to a nearby shop to buy two bottles of water.

They might get thirsty on such a long journey without a drink.

After purchasing, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou geared up and headed towards the stairs at the mountain base.

The mountain was named Kuilong Mountain, and because there was no admission fee and there was a temple at the summit where people could burn incense, it was very popular with the residents of the city. On every first day of the month, the place was packed with people climbing and burning incense. Even on ordinary days, many would come to climb the mountain for exercise.

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou slowly ascended the stairs.

Today, Jiang Ning was wearing a black T-shirt with loose black sports shorts that reached just above her thighs, revealing her white knees and straight, well-proportioned calves, paired with white socks and cream-colored sports shoes. A black sports cap sat atop her head, giving her a youthful and vibrant look.

Qi Xingzhou walked beside Jiang Ning. As Jiang Ning had noticed he was wearing cotton and linen home clothes during a video call just before, she had reminded him to change into sports clothes before leaving.
