After climbing a few more hills, the fuel was exhausted and the lamp was exhausted. The only thing I could rely on was the unyielding will that I had honed since I was a child.
Every step you take takes a thousand turns and comes after reason defeats inertia.
It was the sacrifices of Jian You and Jing Anqin that supported Jing Tian'er. She kept telling herself in her heart that if she gave up here, the sacrifices of Jian You and Jing Anqin would become completely meaningless.
After jumping over a few mountain ridges and winding along a few mountain roads, Jing Tian'er's steps were sloppy and she stumbled on something. Fortunately, Duan Luhen's quick hands and eyes caught her.
Duan Luhen looked at her pale face, then looked at the front where he still couldn't see the finish line, and touched her hair, "Nier, championships and record-breaking are not as important as your health. Let's stop and walk slowly.
, don’t rush.”
"No!" Jing Tian'er shook her head and walked forward step by step, "When I first started practicing martial arts, my grandpa said that people's potential is endless. As long as they are willing to tap into it, they will have a look that never fades.
A dry well flows endlessly. He also said that the road is long and the water is far away, but as long as you have a strong will, you can reach the ends of the world!"
She held Duan Luhen's arm, tilted her head and smiled sweetly at him, "I am not alone now. I still carry the hope and strength of You and Xiaoqin. I will not lose, and I will reach the end with you."
, break the record and win the trophy, I will not let You and Xiaoqin down, I will make them happy and proud of me!"
She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. A few rays of sunlight fell on her body through the gaps in the leaves. A layer of pale golden light appeared on her cheeks that were originally as pale as snow. Her eyes were otherworldly, soul-stirring, and radiant.
Inside, there shines the light of indomitable perseverance, which is the light accumulated from love and being loved.
"Okay! Let's go, we will succeed!" Duan Luhen smiled back at her, took the gizzard from her back to himself again, held her hand tightly, and moved forward.
At the finish line, the previously unattended mountain trail was bustling with activity today. Dozens of cameras seized the best position, aiming at the winding parts of the trail, hoping to capture the champion as soon as possible.
There were restless reporters waiting, coaches and assistants who were full of expectations for their players, and countless people. From time to time, some people looked at the red timer above their heads.
Six and twenty-five minutes have passed, and there is still more than half an hour left. All the waiting will be meaningless.
Because the record for weight-bearing competition is seven hours and thirty seconds. If no one beats this record today, they will only be waiting for this year's champion, not the record breaker. The news value and psychological impact will be lost.
Much smaller.
While people were waiting anxiously, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and several voices came and went, shouting in surprise: "Coming, coming, someone is coming!"
At the corner of the winding mountain road, Duan Luhen helped Jing Tianer out from behind the rocks. All the cameras were focused on them, and all eyes were fixed on them.
Both Duan Luhen and Jing Tianer were already pale and sweating profusely, but when they tilted their heads and smiled at each other, they saw the same radiant look and high spirits in each other's eyes.
At this moment, they were so tired that they would almost stagger and fall down, but they were happy, happier than ever before!
Because they supported each other through the heaviest and most difficult journey in their lives. Since then, no difficulties or obstacles can stop them. They are lovers and partners, and they will always be together on the road of mountains and rivers.
A whole that will separate!
The moment they crossed the finish line, they were surrounded by flashing spotlights, loud voices, countless microphones, burning gazes, and blooming flowers, but in their eyes, they could only see each other's sweet smiles.
That night, Jing Tianer slept in darkness, looking like she would have to get enough sleep first even if the sky fell.
She slept for a full day and night, and woke up in a daze the next afternoon. Her whole body ached as if she had been run over by a car. If she hadn't been so hungry that she couldn't bear it, she would have wanted to sleep for another forty-eight hours.
She got out of bed, washed and changed clothes, and after taking care of herself, she opened the door and went out, found Duan Luhen's room, knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly. Jian You, Huo Si, and Ling Yuan were all there, looking like each other with her.
The sickly look was different. The four people, including Duan Lvhen, were all in good spirits. Unlike her, they looked like their bones had been picked out.
She took a few steps and threw herself on Duan Luhen's bed, hugging the pillow and saying, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death!"
"Yes!" Jian You brought a pile of food from the side and piled it in front of her.
Huo Si clicked his tongue twice, "You know you are a foodie. The first thing you did when you got up this morning was to go out and buy the most famous snack in the ancient city."
Duan Luhen rubbed the back of her head and said, "Eat less. We will go out to celebrate later."
"Ah! That's right!" Jing Tian'er remembered something important and swallowed the food in her mouth in three mouthfuls. "Last night I passed the finish line and fell asleep immediately. How were your results?"
"The three of us arrived together and were tied for twenty-sixth. To secure two more spots for those participating in the competition, the two team members who were originally supposed to be thirty-one and thirty-two were so grateful to us that they fell into submission.
"
Hoss had a proud look on his face, but Jing Tian'er wrinkled up her little face, "Ah? Tied for twenty-six?"
She held Jian You's face depressedly and rubbed Jian You's evil face into various shapes, "You, it's all my fault, otherwise you would definitely be in the top three!"
Jian You pulled off her hand, held it in hers, and smiled, "For me, there is no difference between first place and thirtieth place, as long as they are not eliminated."
"That's right," Hoss echoed, "We are all following the footsteps of the boss when it comes to martial arts training. If the boss hadn't hired an unlucky master and insisted on him coming to participate in this competition, we wealthy young masters would have come here.
Why are you joining in the fun? If you have this free time, you might as well go pick up girls!"
"Paopao, you know how to do it all day long," Jing Tian'er said to him with disdain, "Be careful if you walk too much at night and encounter a ghost, and the boat capsizes in the gutter and Niuer picks you up!"
"Bah, bah, bah! Goddess Sweetie, I owed you a lot of money in my previous life, right? There are so many people here, why can't you just get along with me?"
"What's the point?" Jing Tian'er continued to despise him, "Because you owe Bian the most!"
"..." If he is so unpopular, he might as well go to the corner and draw circles, woo woo woo!
The prince treated them to a treat and took them to the most famous bar in Fenghuang Ancient City, Chuliang Bar.
