The railway track is built around Halla Mountain, and you can enjoy different scenery when passing through different ecological parks.
The first stop is the Ecological Bridge Station. Outside the window is the lush forest, and the crisp birdsong is heard one after another.
Faced with such natural scenery, many tourists choose to get off at this stop.
"How about we go down and take a look?" Li Xianghe suggested.
In order to give tourists more freedom, the forest train in Ed Ecological Park is allowed to get off midway.
The platform at each station is very wide, and you can walk around on it and then take the next train back to the starting station.
"Okay." Su Yuhang nodded in agreement.
The two got off the bus together, stood on the wooden platform, and looked into the distance.
Because I brought Dandelion with me, I needed to carry an extra cat bag.
Previously, the travel bag containing the camera could only be carried in the hand.
Originally, Su Yuhang planned to share the burden, but Li Xianghe always disagreed.
As a girl, how can you let the boy you like carry a heavy travel bag?
Even if the travel bag only contains a jacket, a camera, and a watch gift box that has never been given away.
“In the distance is the virgin forest of Halla Mountain,” Li Xianghe said.
Looking in the direction of her finger, you can see hills with gradually rising slopes. There are towering trees, and the bright sunlight penetrates through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting irregular light spots.
"I heard that Halla Mountain is the undisputed number one peak in South Korea." Looking at the majestic ridge, Su Yuhang murmured softly.
I got this information from the aunt who was driving.
On the way to the racecourse, she kept recommending places worth visiting in Jeju Island.
Among them, the most highly regarded one is Hallasan Mountain.
They also said things like, ‘If you don’t climb Halla Mountain in Jeju Island, you are not a man’, ‘You must go to the highest peak in Korea’, ‘Climbing the mountain will give you a great sense of accomplishment’ and so on.
These remarks made Li Xianghe, who was sitting in the back row, turn pale with fright, fearing that Su Yuhang would have the idea of mountain climbing.
You know... in order to make climbing to the top of Hallasan Mountain memorable.
There is no cable car on Hallasan Mountain.
Whether you are going up or down the mountain, you can only walk.
She was out of breath even after climbing more than 100 meters of Nidu Peak and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. It would be life-threatening for her to climb Halla Mountain!
For the sake of his own life, Li Xianghe kept his mouth tightly closed and did not dare to speak at all.
The two of them sat on a bench and rested for a while, waiting for the next train to arrive.
As if he recognized the girl who fed him cat food at night, the rejuvenated Dandelion flapped his little paws and wanted to run into Li Xianghe's arms.
"It seems that Dandelion likes you very much. After lying here for a while, he wanted to go to you." Su Yuhang took the initiative to carry the kitten into the girl's arms.
When he got closer, the young man's faint fragrance and his eyes as clear as flowing streams were all seen at close range.
Li Xianghe turned his face sideways and couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
Dandelion, well done!
She secretly praised Xiaomao's unintentional assist.
Li Xianghe took it with a smile, teasing the kitten's soft belly with his slender fingers.
Originally, she wanted to continue talking about cats, and she had all the lines prepared in her mind.
'Mata and her boyfriend have a British shorthair.'
'I have raised it since it was very young. I have to feed it cat food every day and play with it.'
'She said that when two people raise a cat together, it feels like raising a child together. One is the mother and the other is the father.'
Listen.
This is a completely naked analogy, and anyone can hear the subtext in her words.
It's just that... after moving her lips several times, she still didn't have the courage to say something like a confession as if nothing had happened.
There was silence for a while.
She bit her lip slightly and decided to do something while taking advantage of this charming atmosphere.
For example... give away the gift hidden in the travel bag?
In the distance are majestic green mountains, and a cool breeze blows.
The two of them were sitting on a resting bench, with no other people nearby to disturb them, and their travel bags beside them.
Li Xianghe, what are you waiting for?
We can’t put it off any longer. If we put it off any longer, the whole trip to Jeju Island will be over!
Now is the best time.
She took a deep breath and decided to give the gift she had prepared for a long time.
"Well...because you just joined the team not long ago." Li Xianghe stammered, "For every new member, the team will give her a meeting gift."
After thinking for a long time, she decided to use the excuse Mata had taught her before, saying that this was the team's meeting gift for newcomers.
"Meeting gift?" Su Yuhang was stunned, "Does the SKT team still have... such a tradition?"
It didn't exist before, but now that you're here, this tradition is here.
"Yes," Li Xianghe said bravely, "When Effort came to the team before, we gave her a box of friendship chocolates."
If Li Xianghan (Effort) were here, he would definitely shake his head vigorously and say, "I didn't, I'm not, Sister Li, don't talk nonsense."
"Then what kind of meeting gift did you prepare for me?" Su Yuhang asked curiously.
Meeting gifts are quite normal in Korea.
Because we attach great importance to etiquette, we usually bring some carefully prepared small gifts to express our gratitude when we visit good friends.
"Yes... it's a watch." Li Xianghe handed the dandelion in his arms to Su Yuhang.
He opened his travel bag and took out the exquisitely wrapped gift box.
In order for Su Yuhang to accept this gift without any psychological burden, she thought of an irrefutable reason.
"This was given to me by the sponsor of the SKT team. I don't have the habit of wearing a watch, so I keep it at the base." She said with a smile, "I hope you don't mind."
"Of course I won't mind." Su Yuhang smiled softly and took the gift from the girl's hand.
The outside is wrapped in beautifully patterned wrapping paper, and the small square box feels heavy in the palm of your hand.
He did not unpack it, but planned to unpack it after returning to the hotel.
Opening gifts in person is not a custom that Koreans like.
"Will you open it now and take a look?" Li Xianghe hesitated for a while and then took the initiative to speak.
Tear open along the seal, and the gift box containing the watch emerges little by little.
First of all, there is the OMEGA brand logo, next to it is a blue background color, which well caters to the ghostly blue color of the watch.
After opening it, the crystal dial shines in the sunlight, and the metal strap is as warm as jade, with no unnecessary edges and corners.
"Try it on and try it. If it doesn't fit... I can ask them to change it."
With expectant eyes, Su Yuhang took out the watch lying in the box.
The soft white wrist sets off the faint blue dial, just like the waves rolling on the undulating sea, and they complement each other perfectly.
At that moment, Li Xianghe felt that he had not bought this watch in vain.
This...this hand is really beautiful.
Just watching silently, I felt an inexplicable surge of blood welling up in my heart.
