Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 530 - 383: Strolling Through the Forest

The next day, when Sophie woke up, the sunlight was almost vertically shining down.

Exhausted from mountain climbing the previous day, she slept all the way until noon, perfectly missing the sunrise she had agreed to watch with Li Jing the night before.

Sophie slowly opened her eyes, the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, casting golden shadows on the ground.

She looked up at the sky, the bright sun shining down on her, startling her for a moment, and she immediately sat up.

She hurriedly turned her head and saw Li Jing not far away, attentively preparing the meal, smoke rising gently.

Sophie couldn’t help but say, "Why didn’t you wake me up? Didn’t we agree last night to watch the sunrise together?

The sunset was so beautiful; the sunrise must be beautiful too."

Li Jing turned around at the sound, looking at Sophie.

After last night, Sophie’s clothes were a bit disheveled, yet her beauty remained, and her long, fair legs added a unique charm in this natural setting.

Li Jing’s mouth lifted slightly with a smile on his face as he said:

"I saw you were too tired and sleeping deeply, so I couldn’t bear to wake you. Sunrise or sunset, as long as I’m with you, isn’t that enough?"

Hearing this, Sophie couldn’t help but roll her eyes, but she knew in her heart that if she woke up to a scene that wasn’t this warm and was instead lonely, alone in these mountains, she truly wouldn’t know what to do.

Thinking carefully, Li Jing was indeed right; though the scenery is beautiful, the most important thing is the person by your side.

With this in mind, the feeling of disappointment from missing the sunrise gradually faded in Sophie’s heart.

"What are you doing?" Sophie asked, like a little cat, quietly squatting beside Li Jing, tilting her head, her eyes fixed on him.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity and happiness, like she had discovered something novel.

Li Jing continued his movements, working on the ingredients, replying:

"We brought these foods: noodles, bread, and some sauce. I thought I’d mix them together, but I’m not sure if you’ll like it."

Sophie sniffed lightly, captured by a fragrant aroma, her eyes widening in surprise and delight:

"Smells so good, it must taste great!"

Li Jing didn’t respond, just focused on preparing lunch for the two of them.

Sunlight sketched his focused silhouette.

Sophie simply squatted beside him, hugging her knees, eyes never leaving Li Jing.

As she watched, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She suddenly thought, if Li Jing were her boyfriend, he would really be quite considerate.

Gazing at Li Jing for several minutes, Sophie suddenly mustered the courage to lean in and give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Li Jing’s hands stopped, taken aback; he turned and gave her a glance, asking, "What are you doing?"

"What’s wrong with kissing you? You took all the advantage yesterday, can’t I give you a kiss?"

Sophie exclaimed, neck straight, though her face showed a slight blush.

Li Jing looked at her, amused, deliberately teasing:

"What, not enough excitement from yesterday; you want more?"

"Pfft! Pfft!" Sophie blushed furiously, waving her hands frantically. "How can you have so much energy; after such a long hike, you’re still not tired.

I thought Johnson and the others were quite ridiculous, but you’re just absurd!"

The topic made Sophie incredibly shy.

Li Jing watched her playful charm, his lips curled into a smile, continuing to prepare lunch.

The lunch was finally ready. Amidst the steaming heat, with Sophie’s eager eyes watching, Li Jing served a bowl of noodles first, cautiously handing it to her.

Sophie accepted it with both hands, her face filled with anticipation. She leaned in, inhaled deeply from the bowl, and exclaimed: "It smells so good!"

She eagerly began eating. As the first noodle slid down her throat, her eyes lit up with surprise and praise:

"You really are a good cook; it’s delicious!"

Li Jing shook his head gently, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, serving himself as he replied:

"I think you’re just very hungry; this simple food is nowhere near delicious."

Indeed, due to the limited ingredients, even though Li Jing had decent cooking skills, the dishes he prepared were merely simple home-style flavors.

But Sophie quickly shook her head and refuted: "No way; being able to make such delicious food with such simple ingredients is already impressive."

Sophie wasn’t lying; Li Jing’s cooking was far better than what Johnson and the others had prepared before.

As she spoke, Sophie took a few more bites and then began devouring the food without caring about her usual ladylike demeanor or her image in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing watched her and shook his head with a smile.

Recalling yesterday’s mountain climbing and all the things they’d been through, she must be both exhausted and hungry. So he willingly served her another bowl.

Sophie paused momentarily, asking: "You’re giving me so much; won’t you be hungry?"

Li Jing shook his head, responding softly: "Don’t worry, this is enough for me."

In fact, unlike Sophie, who was overly fatigued, Li Jing had almost recovered his energy after a night’s rest, nearly back to his usual state, needing no extra food.

Seeing that Li Jing didn’t seem hungry, Sophie no longer hesitated and finished her food cleanly.

After eating, she contentedly rubbed her slightly protruding belly, satisfied: "That was truly enjoyable; it’s a pity if you don’t become a chef."

Li Jing listened, smiled, and shook his head, choosing not to respond to her exaggerated praise.

Finished with his portion, Li Jing stood up to start cleaning the dishes and leftover ingredients.

After a brief rest, Sophie also stood up, offering to help clean up, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere between them.

Once finished with the cleaning, they were both satisfied and full.

Sophie glanced at the time; it was afternoon, the sun was high in the sky.

She excitedly proposed, "How about we take a walk? Yesterday we were so focused on climbing that we didn’t really appreciate the scenery here."

Li Jing nodded slightly, with no objections, and walked into the mountain forest side by side with Sophie.

This mountain is not towering, yet is rarely visited and undeveloped, with many places that are rugged and hard to traverse.

Along the way, whenever they encountered difficult areas, Sophie relied on Li Jing’s help, either crossing obstacles with his support or gracefully jumping over gullies with his assistance.

However, this untouched natural charm offered them, city dwellers, a unique joy.

As they entered the forest, fresh air greeted them, a scent mixed with earthy aroma and a hint of greenery, instantly refreshing.

Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Everything was silent around, with only the occasional clear chirping of birds, highlighting the deep quiet of the forest.

The two strolled leisurely, feeling especially comfortable, as if their souls had been cleansed.

"This kind of untouched natural beauty is more comforting."

Sophie closed her eyes slightly, taking a deep breath, unable to suppress her exclamation.

Li Jing agreed with a nod.

Not far ahead, Li Jing noticed a stream and suggested, "Let’s check out the stream over there."

Upon hearing this, Sophie looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a gently flowing stream, immediately running towards it happily.

The stream’s water was crystal clear and cool, revealing round stones and swaying aquatic plants, with occasional small crabs scuttling about.

Sophie couldn’t resist, dipping her hand into the water, feeling the cool sensation spread through her body, she then splashed some water on her face, feeling instantly refreshed.

Under the sunlight, the water surface sparkled, reflecting dazzling brilliance, stunningly beautiful.

Sophie and Li Jing decided to take off their shoes and socks, stepping into the water barefoot, sitting on a relatively dry large stone by the stream.

The gentle water brushed against their ankles, bringing a hint of coolness.

Li Jing closed his eyes, reveling in the peace.

Sophie quietly watched Li Jing, then glanced around, feeling everything around, a thought sprang to her mind that if this moment could last forever, how perfect it would be.

The flowing water played a natural symphony, while nearby leaves rustled in the wind.

A cool breeze occasionally swept past, lifting their clothes and hair.

The warm sun poured down, warmly wrapping around them.

Just like that, the two rested comfortably by the stream for twenty or thirty minutes, filled with coziness and ease.

Sophie simply lay on that big stone, looking up at the sky, and exclaimed sincerely, "It’s so beautiful! I didn’t expect the scenery here to be so enchanting."

Li Jing lay down beside her, his gaze following the drifting white clouds in the sky, nodding in agreement:

"Indeed, after seeing the hustle and bustle of the city, coming to appreciate this natural scenery feels like a purification of the soul."

Sophie, hearing this, felt slightly moved, turned to gaze at Li Jing’s profile with her beautiful eyes, and asked:

"Have you never enjoyed this natural scenery with other girls before? Have you had similar experiences?"

Upon hearing her mention these things again, Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh, "Why do you always ask about me and other girls? Isn’t just the two of us fine now?"

Sophie rolled her eyes, pouting and jokingly said, "That won’t do, I want to do things others haven’t done, so you can firmly remember me, remember what’s different about us."

Hearing this, Li Jing seemed to recall something, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "There is one thing I haven’t done with other girls."

Sophie instantly got interested, eagerly asking, "What is it?"

Li Jing’s smile deepened, slowly said, "In such a beautiful scene, I haven’t had ambiguities with other girls."

Upon hearing this, Sophie’s face immediately turned red like a ripe apple, "Who wants to do that with you? You... you really have nothing but this on your mind!"

After speaking, she hurriedly turned her head, not wanting Li Jing to see her embarrassed appearance.

Li Jing was just joking, seeing her looking so cute, he didn’t tease her anymore, continuing to lie comfortably by the stream, soaking up the warm sunlight.

A few minutes passed, and Li Jing hadn’t heard Sophie speak again beside him, feeling slightly curious.

He turned his head, only to see Sophie’s face flushed red, with some struggle in her expression.

Li Jing asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"

Sophie slowly looked at Li Jing, slightly biting her lower lip, her voice carrying a bit of nervousness and anticipation, "Is what you said... true?"

Li Jing didn’t respond immediately, asking, "Which part did I say?"

Sophie’s face grew even redder, murmuring softly, "The part where you said you haven’t been ambiguous with other girls in such a scene."

After hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, nodded and replied, "Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you?"

Sophie seemed to have made up her mind, suddenly leaned closer and pressed her lips against Li Jing’s passionately.

Li Jing was initially taken aback, clearly not expecting her to make such a bold move.

But soon, as Sophie proactively sat on him, he was ignited with passion too, his hands expertly exploring.

The clothes were disordered, fair skin exposed under the sunshine.

Her beautiful legs like white snakes tightly entwined around Li Jing’s strong waist.

A gentle breeze blew, the vegetation by the stream swayed lightly, seemingly dancing fervently for this moment.

The stream burbled softly, as if whispering, reflecting the entwined passionate figures.

An inexplicable sense of ambiguity permeated all around, the sunlight casting a faint golden glow over the scene.

In this secluded world, the two forgot everything, leaving only primal desires and fiery emotions, accompanied by rhythmic sounds, indulging in ultimate pleasure.
