At Charlotte's request, Joe naturally agreed.
Although this piece of land was developed by Joe, he had never been to the nearby mountains. For safety reasons, Joe even consulted the general manager of the hot spring club, who informed them that there was a reputedly efficacious temple on the nearby mountain, and apart from that, there was no apparent danger.
"A temple?" Charlotte's eyes flashed with curiosity.
However, she was not a devout Buddhist, so she didn't plan to go there specifically to make offerings.
As they reached the foot of the mountain, Charlotte looked at the lush green hills, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "It feels like it's been a very long time since I went hiking like this."
Joe remained silent. As if struck by a sudden realization, Charlotte suddenly turned to him in disbelief. "You've never hiked before, have you?"
"According to the manager's description, the temple should be near the mountaintop," Joe said, shifting his gaze away and looking into the distance.
Charlotte couldn't help but laugh. "Your skill at changing the subject is quite remarkable."
Joe looked at Charlotte against the light, and the golden sunlight seemed to give her a golden halo, making her appear somewhat sanctified.
He stepped closer and held Charlotte's hand. "When I was in school, I usually went skiing and surfing, rarely climbing mountains like this."
Charlotte smiled, undeterred. "Well, you missed out on a lot of fun."
Joe pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her lips. "That's why I want you to show me these pleasures now."
His eyes were deep, as if the whole world could only contain Charlotte.
Suddenly, Charlotte hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him on the lips. "Well, you'll have to pay the tour guide fee for that."
Joe's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Charlotte, who was about to escape and kissed her deeply.
