Mount tai.
Mount tai, also known as "taishan," is one of the Five Sacred Mountains, hailed as "the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, the number one mountain under heaven." This ancient and precipitous mountain has left a rich mark on history, and countless myths and legends.
Halfway up Mount tai lies a forest, where clouds shroud the treetops, mist flows through the valleys, green trees sway in the wind, and white water rushes down the streams—a veritable paradise on earth.
At this moment, the blazing red sun hangs high in the sky, recklessly showering down its dazzling golden light. The blinding golden rays cascade down, penetrating the layers of green within the forest, shining through the gaps in the leaves onto the forest floor, creating dappled patterns of light.
"Lin Changqing! Explain yourself! Who was that woman who called you just now! The woman with the purple profile picture!"
A sharp, angry shout shattered the tranquil atmosphere of the mountain forest. Startled by the scream, the birds and animals in the treetops, thinking they were in danger, fluttered their wings and flew into
the woods. A beautiful young woman, her face contorted with anger, pointed at the phone in the hand of a man beside her, demanding an explanation.
Hearing the woman's accusation, the man named Lin Changqing showed a hint of helplessness on his face, sighed, and said,
"She's just my sister. Don't overthink it."
The young woman was stunned by Lin Changqing's perfunctory explanation and nonchalant attitude. Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that this handsome man, who was usually so gentle and had immersed her in the sweetness of their romance, would offer
such a dismissive explanation after she discovered the anomaly on his phone. This was completely unacceptable to the young woman.
The fiery passion that had stirred within her for the man vanished in an instant, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, cooling completely and becoming utterly cold.
In a flash, scalding tears, like pearls, gushed from the girl's eyes. Her face contorted slightly, and she screamed at Lin Changqing,
"Lin Changqing! You scumbag! We're over! Let's break up!"
Then, the girl covered her face, turned, and ran frantically down the mountain. The handsome man, with his rosy lips and white teeth, watched the girl's retreating figure with a calm expression, as if he had experienced this many times before, and it didn't stir any ripples in his heart.
He shrugged and walked towards the forest path behind him. This was his first time in Mount Tai. Although there had been an unexpected turn of events, turning him from a pair of people into a lone wolf, he still wanted to explore this beautiful mountain thoroughly.
This man was named Lin Changqing, a playboy with extremely handsome looks, comparable to a popular TV idol. Relying on his excellent appearance and mediocre salary, he spent his days indulging in women's company with unparalleled success.
Lin Changqing walked along the steep forest path when suddenly he felt a slight vibration in his pocket. He picked up his phone and saw
a message from a girl with a purple-themed profile picture.
"Bad brother, you haven't come to see me for days! When are you coming? I miss you so much! /shy.jpg"
Lin Changqing saw this message and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He was about to reply when…
"Ah! Damn it…"
Lin Changqing, focused on his phone, didn't notice a protruding rock on the road ahead. His steps were deflected by the rock, causing him to stumble, lose his balance, and tumble down the mountain path.
