The family of three, including Shi Yu, returned to the Northwest, and Shen Qingqing's work and life resumed as usual.
Every day involves teaching, preparing lessons, and handling trivial matters.
If she has free time, she takes on some translation work.
Now that she's in a relationship, she has to make time to be with Jiang Zhixun. They've long passed the age of passionate love; their dates consist of having meals, taking walks, occasionally shopping, or watching movies.
Jiang Zhixun wants to take Shen Qingqing mountain climbing to help her get some exercise.
Now working, Shen Qingqing often either stands or sits without doing other exercises.
He notices her slim arms and legs and always wishes she could build some strength.
In case of an emergency, she can run a bit faster.
Moreover, mountain climbing not only exercises the body but also allows one to relax and enjoy the scenery, relieving work stress.
But Shen Qingqing doesn't want to.
"Mountain climbing is so tiring."
