Chapter 435 The Stubborn Lin Ruoxue
Su Chen then spoke to Xiaoxun, instructing her to play nicely in the village the next day, not to wander too far, and to have her meals at the village chief's house.
Although the little girl was somewhat disappointed, she obediently agreed.
Su Chen wasn't unwilling to take the little girl with him, but the mountain was simply too cold, and he worried that such a small child wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The next morning, Lin Ruoxue put on an extra sweater and switched to a plumper, heavier down jacket. In doing so, her perfect figure was completely concealed.
Su Chen also put on the village chief's leather coat. Though he had True Yuan to resist the severe cold, it wasn't meant to be used that way, and there was no need for him to purposefully suffer.
When Lin Ruoxue saw Su Chen wearing the village chief's leather coat, she couldn't help but bend over laughing. It was a completely different style from his usual appearance, and when he put on the village chief's hat, she bent over even more with laughter, because it looked quite comical to her.
"What's so funny?"
Su Chen grumbled.
"It really is funny!"
Lin Ruoxue playfully blinked her eyes, looking nothing like the cold CEO and more like a lively girl next door.
"Alright, let's set off."
Lin Ruoxue patted Su Chen's shoulder and laughed as she crawled out of the felt tent, and Su Chen followed behind, feeling quite displeased.
To climb Tianshan, the vicinity of Baixing Gully was definitely not suitable. Although it was also at the foot of Tianshan, the mountains here were too short, and there wasn't much snow.
The actual suitable location for climbing Tianshan was about a hundred or two hundred kilometers west of Baixing Gully.
Because the journey was far, they first had to return to where the car was parked to fetch it and then drive to their destination.
Passing by the small mountain, Su Chen still carried Lin Ruoxue over it as he had previously done. Only this time, Lin Ruoxue was wearing enough clothes and thick trousers, so there was less of a tactile feeling, which Su Chen found a bit regrettable.
The distance of a hundred or two hundred kilometers wasn't too far. It took Su Chen just over an hour to drive there, and then after walking for a stretch, they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Lin Ruoxue took out two pairs of protective goggles from the backpack behind her and handed one pair to Su Chen. They both put them on.
In truth, Su Chen didn't need protective goggles, but wearing them was also harmless and saved Lin Ruoxue from worrying.
Ordinary people climbing a snowy mountain, especially one with a high altitude, must wear protective goggles.
The howling cold wind hit her face like a knife, causing an obvious feeling of pain.
As an ordinary woman who wasn't used to exercising regularly, physical strength was naturally not Lin Ruoxue's forte. The thin air at high altitudes added to her breathing difficulties.
But even so, she still did not ask Su Chen for help and continued to climb upward, gritting her teeth.
Su Chen, once again, realized the strength and competitiveness of his wife.
However strong she might be, there was still a limit to her physical capabilities, so by the end, her pace had slowed down completely, needing to rest every few steps.
Fortunately, they were just out for fun and not in a hurry, so it was tolerable.
"Husband, aren't you tired?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen curiously as he seemed to be handling it with ease. His complexion was barely different from usual, at most just a little bit redder.
"I'm fine," Su Chen said with a smile. Climbing this mountain was merely a warm-up for him, "Wife, if you really can't keep going, just tell me."
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Lin Ruoxue looked determinedly at the mountain peak and said, they weren't too far from the top now, and she was not going to give up!
After saying this, she continued to use the cane to climb upward, with Su Chen closely following behind.
Although they weren't too far away, only the last thousand meters remained, this was the most difficult thousand meters!
Lin Ruoxue felt like every step was so difficult, as if her legs were filled with lead, unbearably heavy.
Her body also felt waves of cold, as if the little warmth inside was being sucked away by the cold air, and she kept gasping for air!
"Just hang in there a little longer, just a little longer!"
Lin Ruoxue told herself.
And so, after some indeterminate amount of time, they finally reached the summit. Lin Ruoxue lay straight down on the peak, her chest heaving uncontrollably even through her down jacket, which could still be felt.
This showed that Lin Ruoxue was indeed exhaustingly tired!

"Stand for a bit, don't lie down."
Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue up from the snow. The last thing you want to do after strenuous exercise is to lie down...
