They wore thick in winter. Moreover, to prevent the coldness in the mountain, Anthea put on down jacket.
From a distance, she looked like a ball.
Adam didn't wear his uniform but wore a down jacket and a pair of jeans just like her. But he still wore that black army boot.
The army boots stepped on the ground, making sound of steadiness. The two of them walked leisurely in the mountains. As the sun shone through the pine trees, the slanting shadows overlapped, which made them feel like that had been together for life.
Anthea held his neck, and in her sight was the outline of his profile close at hand.
She felt both cozy and at ease.
Without her notice, Adam had already climbed more than half of the mountains with her on his back, leaving only one-third.
Anthea went up to him and pressed her face against his. "Adam, are you tired? Shall I come down and walk on my own?"
"I'm fine." Adam shook his head.
"If you are tired, do tell me!" Anthea was worried.
"Okay." Adam said.
He carried her on his back and the luggage in his hand. Even so, he looked at ease and didn't even gasp for breath.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she had been staring at him. He said, "This is nothing. You are so light. Once during a rapid march, I broke two ribs and walked to the base carrying equipment weighted dozens of kilos in three days and four nights."
He said it as if it was no big deal, but Anthea's heart ached when she heard it.
After walking for another ten minutes, she pointed to a small wooden pavilion ahead and said that she was thirsty. In fact, she wanted him to rest for a while.
In the small wooden pavilion, there was another couple sitting together. It seemed that they also knew about the meteor shower. They were tired and were taking a rest with big bags on their backs.
The couple were young. They should have graduated from college not long ago and were newlyweds. They were in their sweetest time.
Adam and Anthea walked in hand in hand and greeted the couple.
Adam bent down to their luggage to look for Anthea's vacuum bottle. The wife next to Anthea came to her and asked curiously, "Hey, is that your husband? He looks so strong!"
When Adam and Anthea were climbing up, the couple on a higher ground had already seen them.
Along the way, she watched Adam carry Anthea up and did not show any signs of slowing down. Not to mention that the wife was jealous, even the husband was envious of Adam's physical strength.
"Ahem, no... He's my boyfriend!" Anthea blushed, and she explained, "He's a soldier!"
The wife gave a "Wow" and said, "No wonder. But judging from his look, he is not like a soldier at all. It's the first time that I've seen such a handsome soldier! You have good taste, girl!"
"Thank you!" Anthea couldn't help feeling proud.
Praises for Adam could make her happier than praises to herself.
After a short rest, they set off again and the young couple also joined them. They would not be so lonely on the road ahead.
The young couple had a longer rest, so they did not straggle. Before the sun had set, they had already climbed to the top of the mountain. Under the light of the setting sun, the two men started to set up
tents.
Adam was proficient. He put up the tent so fast that it was like he conjured up the tent.
The young couple were dumbfounded. Then they exclaimed praises and jealousy. Anthea was so happy.
The ground was cold. After putting the inflatable cushion on the ground, Adam laid out their sleeping bag. There was only a sleeping bag for one in the army, so he made two sleeping bags into one for two people.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
