Secret Love Nest 2018

Someone

I totally recommend having someone beside you who knows you so well.

Why do I say that?

Well, if you all can remember, in my last entry, I said that I am feeling unaccomplished and unnecessarily down so I decided to run to my lover for a hug and a kiss.

Qing did more than that.

He took me biking.

Yes! Qing loaded our bikes in his SUV and took us to a joyride. Our destination...a biking trail.

I love biking. Since I was young, biking is a hobby of mine. I am always excited to mount a bike and pedal along.

So when I moaned of being feeling down to my lover, Qing looked at me and said...

Qing: Wanna go biking.

I swear, every part of me grew round. My eyes, my mouth, my ears just popped open...every pores on my body rejoiced.

Me: (suddenly super excited) You will take me biking?

Qing: (nodding) There is a new biking trail that was recommended to me. I have been meaning to check it out. You want to check it out with me.

Me: Oh you bet I will check it out with you. (standing up and pulling Qing's arm excitedly) Come on! Come on! Let's go.

Qing stood up, chuckling.

We put on sensible biking clothes, gather our safety gears and strapped on our bikes on Qing's SUV then we started a joyride.

The biking trail is one and a half hour of ride West of the city. We got literally at the edge of Beijing. It's on the foot of the moutain. There's also a hiking trail and a community close by.

Qing and I strapped on our safety gears and he even made sure my helmet is on properly. Then off biking we go...

The trees, the shades, the warm sun, the fresh air, the breeze with the smell of nature with it...plus Qing beside me as we rode our bikes...all worked together to eliminate every bad feelings inside me.

It was like healing. As I rode my bike on that trail, breathing in fresh air and laughing while racing with Qing, sometimes going fast but most of the time we just ride smoothly, makes all the worries that's stressing me out feel so small and insignificant.

We stopped once in a while to drink some water and wipe each other sweats. Qing and I will smile at each other and when we see no one close by, we will kiss.

When we got to the end of the trail, there was a small suspension bridge. Qing and I abandoned our bikes to walk on that bridge and look down at the rushing stream under. When the sun got too hot, Qing urged me that we should go back.

We rode our bikes again. Riding slowly.

When we got back to his car, Qing asked me if I am hungry.

Me: Yes. I can go for some snacks.

Qing: I saw an ice cream shop. I think they are selling gelato.

Gelato. My mind stopped on that.

Me: (like in trance) Let's have some gelato.

Qing: (chuckling and ruffling my hair) Let's have some sandwich first.

Me: Sandwich will be fine too.

Inside the car, Qing and I changed our shirts. We have sweated out so we donned fresh tops.

Qing drove us to a cafe where we ordered drinks and sandwiches. It was nice because the cafe warmed their bread before serving them. I finished my sandwich because biking makes me ravenous.
