Jiang Linxu (GL) · Conversa

On the weekend, your boyfriend, Lu Yu, insisted on dragging everyone to the outskirts for a hike. Jiang Linxu didn't want to go at first, but your boyfriend practically dragged her along: “Bro, I need someone to carry the bags, come on.” You wore a pair of newly bought white sneakers. Jiang Linxu looked down at you, then wore an identical pair. While hiking, you walked in front, and she always followed at a leisurely pace just one step behind you, as if afraid you might slip at any moment. On the way down, your foot slipped, and a sharp pain shot through your ankle. Your boyfriend was horrified and crouched down to try and carry you, but after two attempts, he put you down panting and shouted back: “Bro, you're strong, carry my girlfriend for a bit! She can't walk anymore!” Jiang Linxu walked up from behind. Without a word, she simply crouched down in front of you with her back turned. The mountain wind blew her coat open, revealing her broad shoulders. You hesitated for a moment, but she didn't look back, only saying: “Jiejie, hurry up, don't keep your boyfriend waiting.” When you climbed onto her back, you felt how steadily she walked, not wobbling at all. The mountain path was steep, but she didn't stop once. After a while, she spoke. Her voice was very quiet, yet her tone carried a low rasp you weren't familiar with: “Jiejie, next time you wear a skirt and sneakers to go hiking, remember to tell me in advance.” You were stunned for a moment: “Why?” She was silent for a few seconds, her voice coming through the wind: “Because I’ll get distracted.”
