  Chapter 670 Stay with me

   As a result, Kei couldn't fall asleep after that.

  At twelve o'clock in the morning, Yusuke Kato woke her up on time, and she opened her eyes as if she had just woken up.

   In fact, it's not just herself, she knows that the other party is also up.

   It's not sleepless nights from the excitement of spending time with the opposite sex, but being haunted by memories of something or someone. The only reason she could think of was the unexpected guest who came from afar.

  When she carried the mountaineering bag on her shoulders with complicated emotions, the weight from above was so heavy that she was unfamiliar with it.

  Yesterday, I spent half of the time climbing the mountain with it on my back, but now I feel a little overwhelmed.

   Pack up your things and come to the entrance, the guide is already waiting here.

  As a professional mountaineering enthusiast, the other party obviously would not waste time on trivial things like them, but slept solidly for 4 hours, showing a state of full energy.

  Now is the peak time for departure, and the climbers gathered in the hall in high spirits.

  They were wearing thick mountaineering clothes, preparing for departure. Some people are packing their bags, some are replenishing hot water, and some are enjoying breakfast in advance.

   Walking from indoors to outdoors, the icy air is chilling.

  The sky is still shrouded in deep darkness.

  Mt. Fuji in front of you is like a towering snow mountain behemoth, hidden in the night, and the cold white snow on the peak is shining faintly.

  Standing outside the mountain hut, it feels as if you are on the top of a snow-capped mountain that stretches for thousands of miles. My heart is full of deep and distant feelings, and the cold air makes it difficult to breathe.

  Looking up, there is no cloud in the sky.

  The lit up stars are like countless lonely lighthouses, scattered in the night sky in a patchwork pattern, forming a dense star network, extending to the horizon, shining with faint light.

  Looking at the Milky Way flowing in the night sky, Hui couldn't help but have the illusion that he was floating in the sky, as if he had merged with the starry sky.

  The night wind keeps blowing, bringing tiny snowflakes dancing with the wind, which feel like light feathers.

  In this thin air, the surrounding scene is very clear, as if entering a surreal world.

   "The visibility at night is very low, and the night wind is also very strong. Be careful not to fall when walking."

  The guide warned: "It takes about 3 hours to climb from here to the top of the mountain, so let's keep going at a constant speed."

   After explaining the necessary matters, the guide took the lead and walked forward.

  Hui reached out to turn on the headlights and strode forward vigorously. Kato Yusuke followed closely behind.

  Climbers spread out in the darkness, forming a procession-like team, and the light from the lighting equipment formed a light strip, echoing the starlight.

  After setting off for about half an hour, Hui began to feel a little strenuous.

  Not only did the brain become dull, but even the body was a little weak, and the steps were extremely heavy.

  Should I tell Yusuke...?

  A moment of hesitation flashed in her mind, and she was rejected in the next second.

  The person who asked the other party to accompany her was herself, and she had no reason to give up first.

   What's more, today is still a rare White Valentine's Day. She hopes to create unforgettable memories with that person, preferably so deep that the other person will never forget her for a lifetime.

  For such a reason, she really couldn't speak.

  I knew I should have had a good rest last night...

  Hui walked forward while thinking with self-blame.

  She leaned on a trekking pole and walked carefully on the narrow climbing path. The gravel is constantly bumping under the feet, and the balance must be adjusted step by step.

  Sometimes her foot got stuck in a rock and had to be pulled out with force.

  The wind strengthened as it climbed upwards, and the icy mountain wind made people shiver. She had to bend over to avoid being blown down by the wind.

  The surrounding environment is getting colder and the oxygen is getting thinner, making it difficult for people to breathe.

  Even though he was just walking, he was out of breath like he was running.

  Her heart was beating fast, her tinnitus was loud, but she didn't want to stop, so she gritted her teeth and kept going.

  She stepped on the gravel slowly, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust her rhythm, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and the more she walked, the more tired she was.

  My eyes gradually blurred, my breathing became rapid and unsteady, and my consciousness was a little hazy...

  When she reached the eighth station, she couldn't move anymore, so she was forced to stop and rest in front of a mountain hut.

  Holding her hiking backpack, she lowered her head and breathed heavily as if she couldn't breathe.

  Kato Yusuke noticed something was wrong, immediately took out the oxygen bottle, put a mask on her mouth and nose, and let her inhale oxygen.

  At first, Hui felt a little uncomfortable with this strange breathing, but as the oxygen warmly flowed through the nose and throat, the comfortable feeling made her gradually relax.

   Most importantly, the feeling of suffocation was finally relieved.

  She sat on a chair, breathed slowly, felt her heart rate gradually stabilized, and the feeling of dizziness and palpitations gradually disappeared.

   Seeing this, the guide promptly stopped the teenager who still wanted her to continue breathing oxygen.

   "That's enough, Brother Kato. Your girlfriend's altitude sickness has almost been relieved, let her take a rest naturally."

  So Kato Yusuke took out the thermos again and poured a cup of hot water, "Come and drink some water, Megumi."

   "...Well, thank you." Hui took a small sip of hot water, and his body gradually warmed up, "Yusuke, what time is it?"

  The guide took the initiative to answer: "It's 2:40, it's been two hours since we set off."

   "Two hours..."

  Hui murmured and looked up, the dark mountain was hidden in the night sky, looking long and sinister.

  They are currently in the eighth station, and it will take at least two hours to climb from here to the top of the mountain, and the progress is far behind.

  She took a breath, and returned the cup to the boy beside her, "Thank you for the hot water, Yusuke, it's time for us to go on."

  Yusuke Kato shook his head firmly, and poured her a cup of hot water again, "You just experienced altitude sickness, what you should do now is rest."

   "However, then we won't be able to catch up with the sunrise at the top of the mountain, so we must hurry up."

   "No, your current state is not suitable for continuing to climb the mountain."

   "But we've all worked our way up here, how can we stop here? I'm really fine!"

  Megumi wanted to stand up from his seat as he spoke, but was held down by his shoulder.

  “I say no, it’s no.”

  Yusuke Kato looked at her with serious eyes, "Even if you force yourself to continue climbing, what should you do when you go down the mountain? Or, would you like me to carry you down the mountain?"

"…Well."

  Hui was speechless for a moment, her lips pursed tightly.

  Yusuke Kato slowed down his tone a little, and then said: "Anyway, mountains can't run, and we will have a chance to challenge it in the future. You don't have to worry, your body is the most important thing."

  The guide nodded aside, agreeing with these words.

   "Brother Kato is right. Miss Kato, what you need most now is to rest and let your body recover slowly. This mountain hut seems to be open. I will go and communicate with them."

   After finishing speaking, Noguchi opened the door and entered the next mountain hut.

  So Hui completely fell silent, drinking water silently.

   Of course she knew she wasn't doing well. In addition to the groggy brain caused by lack of adequate sleep, physical fatigue is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

  In short, her body has reached its limit.

   After a while, the guide came out from the mountain hut and told them good news with a smile on his face.

   "Brother Kato, the people in this hut agree to let you enter the house to rest, why don't you take Miss Kato in and lie down?"

"OK."

   Kato Yusuke nodded gratefully.

   "Please, Mr. Noguchi. Thank you for your help along the way, we will not continue to climb up, and you can go up by yourself for the next trip."

   "That's it... that's fine."

  Noguchi glanced at them respectively, nodded in understanding, and quickly said goodbye and left.

  Hui looked at the back of the guide heading to the top of the mountain, filled with frustration and powerlessness, but followed the boy into the house.

  The staff of this mountain hut are very enthusiastic and generously said that they can rest on the Chase bunk, and also provided clean pillows and thick blankets.

  Yusuke Kato expressed his sincere thanks, and then took her to sit in a corner where no one was around, and offered to help warm the baby when she found her hands and feet were frozen.

  Hui cooperated silently all the time, until he stretched his hands towards his feet, he couldn't help but stop, "...I've walked for a long time, it's dirty, I'll do it myself."

  Yusuke Kato shook his head, ignoring her embarrassment, put on a new pair of clean socks for her and put warm baby on them, then put the removed socks back into her backpack in a bag.

   She looked at all this with complicated eyes, took out a wet towel and let the other party wipe their hands, and felt a warm feeling in her heart that could not be described in words.

  There was no trace of boredom on the boy's face, and there was only concern for herself in those eyes, which made her feel a little difficult to calm down.

   "Why are you being so nice to me?"—she couldn't help thinking this, but when the words came to her mouth, she changed into another way.

   "...Yusuke, leave me alone, I will rest here, and you can go with Noguchi-san."

   Kato Yusuke paused, then frowned amusedly, "What nonsense are you talking about, how could I leave you here alone?"

   "But...it's rare to come to Mount Fuji, it's a pity that you don't go to the top of the mountain." Hui whispered, trying not to let the unwillingness and bitterness in her heart show.

  Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help staring at her for a moment, then jokingly said: "What's the pity, how can you look good on the top of the mountain?"

   "—!"

  Even though she knew he was deliberately interrupting and comforting herself, Hui's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lay down under the blanket and turned her back.

   "...Oh~ yeah, that's up to you~ I'm going to sleep."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but nodded, "Well, have a good rest, I will wake you up before sunrise. Good night, Megumi."

Fool…

  The girl gently pressed her chest, feeling the warmth from her hands and feet, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

   "...Good night, Yusuke."

   A sense of peace of mind gradually came to her heart, and she soon fell asleep.

  …

  Different from last night, Hui slept very soundly this time.

  When she opened her eyes again, it was already 4:50 in the morning, and the only climbers in the mountain hut were her and Yusuke Kato.

  They bought some bread and biscuits from the store here, ate a little for breakfast, and walked outside together.

  The sky was a predawn indigo.

  The air is filled with a faint smell of rosin, which is refreshing and makes people take a deep breath involuntarily.

  The two of them sat on a rock near the mountain hut without any fuss, snuggled up and waited for the sunrise.

   Occasionally, climbers pass by leisurely in front of them, going to higher places.

  Mei looked at the distant sky, and suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, Yusuke, do you know what people call the sunrise on the mountain?"

   "Isn't it called Sunrise?" Kato Yusuke tilted his head in doubt.

   "No~" She shook her head lightly, "To be precise, it's Yu Laiguang."

   "Royal Light?"

   "Yes, I heard that the origin is the light behind the Buddha when he appeared on the stage, which is regarded as a mysterious symbol by people."

  Yusuke Kato said indifferently, not interested in this topic, and asked instead: "How is your body?"

   "Well, it's all right~ Thanks to you, I rested well, thank you."

   "You're welcome, as long as you're fine. The temperature outside is very low. If you sit still for a long time, your body temperature will drop quickly. Come and eat a piece of chocolate."

   As he spoke, the boy broke off a piece of chocolate and fed it into her mouth, and she obediently ate it.

  While they were chatting lightly, the sky began to show a faint pink. Over time, the pink becomes more vibrant, revealing a searing red.

  Yusuke Kato took out his mobile phone, turned it into camera mode and aimed it at the front, ready to shoot and record the moment of sunrise.

  At this time, Hui suddenly stood up lightly and took two steps forward.

   "Hey, Yusuke."

  Under his puzzled gaze, the girl turned to face him, her lips slightly parted.

   "—Stay with me, Yusuke."

  The next moment, the sun finally broke.

  The entire sky was dyed coral-like red, then gradually turned orange, and was replaced by golden yellow.

  The rising sun burns up to the top of the mountain and spreads a strong glow, illuminating the snow-covered peaks and making the surrounding scenery extraordinarily bright.

  Lenticular clouds with peculiar shapes mysteriously float in the sky, and a thin layer of fog surrounds the horizon, creating a magnificent view.

  The girl turned her back to the rising sun and the sea of ​​clouds, and pressed her mid-length hair fluttering in the wind with one hand. There seemed to be light and shadow floating in her beautiful eyes, illuminating the twilight full of his eyes.

  —click.

  Kato Yusuke instinctively pressed the shutter, staring blankly at the beautiful and dazzling shadow, his heart beating wildly.

  He will never forget this moment.

  For some reason, such a thought flashed through his mind.

  When the sunrise comes, Mount Fuji above the clouds.

  He couldn't help but fell in love with the girl in front of him.

   They stared at each other as if the world stood still.

  Then, the girl lowered her eyes first, her long and thick eyelashes blinking shyly.

  "...In short, as I said just now, although it is not yet the time we agreed on, but...if you are willing, let's be together. Okay?"

  Riding the wind on the high mountain, these words reached Kato Yusuke's ears, pulling him back who was temporarily escaping from reality.

   "Agreement"—a simple word, but it seems to tear away all the whitewash and illusions, and uncover what he has been deliberately ignoring at this moment.

  Looking at the girl in front of him, he felt his chest being tightened. Rationality and sensibility collided fiercely in his heart, and his expression wrinkled unconsciously.

  However, you can't help but answer the other party's questions.

  So Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

   "Sorry, Hui, I can't just respond to you like this, I have other girls in my heart."

  …
