The next morning, when Lin Yuxi got up, the alarm clock hadn't even sounded yet.
I was very sleepy, so sleepy that my whole body was slow to react. I came out of the room and prepared to wake up Yu Jiaxiao and Tan Xingchen.
When she saw the man outside the door, she thought she hadn't woken up yet.
Zhou Yanjing leaned against the wall, his eyes falling somewhere in the void, wondering what he was thinking.
He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and he held a cigarette in his hand hanging by his side, which was burning, and his finger bones were slender and clear in the smoke.
In the early hours of the morning, the hotel was still shrouded in silence. The night fell from the window to his shoulders, leaving him feeling lonely and lonely.
Lin Yuxi subconsciously took out her phone and looked at her watch.
Half past four.
She looked at Zhou Yanjing again, still confused.
When Zhou Yanjing saw her, he immediately put out his cigarette.
Zhou Yanjing's eyes were darker than the night outside the window. He didn't know whether it was because of smoking or because he hadn't slept all night. His throat felt like gravel had rubbed it, making him hoarse.
"morning."
Lin Yuxi didn't expect such a word to come out of his mouth, so she reflexively replied: "...Morning."
I originally wanted to ask why I was standing here instead of sleeping, but I swallowed my words back.
She also didn't sleep well all night.
Although she tried hard to control herself not to think about it, Zhou Yanjing still easily messed up her mood.
It's like a stone being thrown into a lake. Even if you don't want to be rippled by it, the ripples will not go away for a long time.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Zhou Yanjing spoke in a low voice again, wanting to say something: "Lin Yuxi..."
At this moment, Yu Jiaxiao and Tan Xingchen opened the door and came out at the same time, as sleepy as two walking corpses.
When she came over and saw Zhou Yanjing, Yu Jiaxiao held her eyelids open for two seconds to react, pointed at him, turned around and said to Tan Xingchen, "Bite him."
Tan Xingchen yawned with his mouth wide open, stuck there, and then closed his mouth silently: "I can't bite. Our dog only has one life."
"Let's go." Lin Yuxi walked straight past Zhou Yanjing.
Tan Yu had already driven the car to the entrance of the hotel. The hot spring hotel was not far from Fuming Mountain and it took about ten minutes to drive to the foot of the mountain.
The temperature in the mountain forest is even lower than that of the hotel. At this point, the whole mountain looks still dark.
After getting out of the car, being blown by the cold early morning wind, Yu Jia smiled so hard that her teeth chattered, and she grabbed the culprit who suggested climbing a mountain to watch the sunrise: "Are you living too sweet a life and want to find something bitter for yourself? How about I give you two slaps?"
Tan Xingchen huddled his neck in his down jacket and shivered: "In my life, I have never seen the sun from the top of a mountain. The sunrise..."
"That's because you can't afford to call you every time. Only the two of them can call you." Tan Yu took down the backpacks of several people from the car.
Handing Lin Yuxi's bag to her, Tan Yu asked, "Is it cold?"
Lin Yuxi shook her head. The down jacket she wore was very wind-resistant, and she was fully equipped with a scarf, hat, and gloves.
She carried the bag on her back. The down jacket was thick and a little awkward to carry.
"It's okay, not cold."
At this moment, the bright car lights behind them came over, and an SUV parked not far from them.
Seeing Shi Tang getting out of the driver's seat and wearing mountain climbing attire, Yu Jiaxiao made a familiar unlucky voice: "You see shit when you go out, you are really unlucky today!"
Yu Jiaxiao's provocation set Young Master Shi on fire, and he said with a sullen face, "Do you have the guts to tell me again?"
Yu Jiaxiao: "I see shit when I go out, I'm really unlucky today!"
"Are you looking for death?"
Shi Tang was about to get angry and opened the passenger door.
Zhou Yanjing got out of the car and glanced at him. Shi Tang held it back and leaned in with a low and depressed voice.
Lin Yuxi turned her head and looked at Zhou Yanjing.
He changed his clothes. The black jacket made his facial features look sharper. His eyes were fixed on Lin Yuxi, whose eyes looked silent and gloomy under the blue sky.
Immediately afterwards, another car arrived behind, driven by Song Yunfan, and Xu Songwan and Jiang Nan also came.
Xu Songwan greeted us with a smile: "Sister Yuxi, why didn't you wait for us? We almost didn't catch up."
Lin Yuxi didn't know whether they were a coincidence or intentional. She glanced at them and looked away, saying in a calm tone, "Isn't this just catching up?"
After that, the four of them, Yu Jiaxiao, started climbing directly, ignoring the group of people.
Song Yunfan put on his hiking bag and said, "Let's go. It will take an hour and a half to climb up. If it's too late, you won't be able to see the sunrise."
Zhou Yanjing didn't move. When they walked away, he glanced at Shi Tang with a cold look in his eyes. His tone was cold and cold: "I asked you to climb the mountain, but I didn't ask you to build a team. Why don't you drive a truck and clear the front desk of the hotel?" Call the cleaning chef as well."
Shi Tang looked innocent: "I called Lao Song. Who knew he was going to take Xu Songwan? As soon as Xu Songwan told Sister Jiang Nan again, they all came. You really don't blame me this time, you have to blame me Just blame Lao Song. Damn, I have a love brain, and I have to take my partner with me when I climb a mountain."
Zhou Yanjing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shi Tang was agitated and quickly clarified: "I didn't talk about you. You see, you didn't take my sister-in-law with you. Besides, my sister-in-law is very independent and self-reliant. She can crawl on her own without you taking care of her..."
He gradually lost his voice under Zhou Yanjing's increasingly cold eyes, and ran away: "I'm leaving first! If you don't crawl, you won't be able to catch up with my sister-in-law."
Physical work like mountain climbing was not suitable for Lin Yuxi, who was not very athletic. She had just finished walking the two hundred steps at the foot of the mountain and was already out of breath.
Yu Jiaxiao and Tan Xingchen were immersed in the desire to win and had already disappeared from the mountain climbing competition that suddenly started.
Tan Yu stopped to wait for her from time to time. Lin Yuxi held her hiking pole and stopped to take a breath: "You go first, don't wait for me, you may not see the sunrise later."
"There's no rush." Tan Yu said, "I'm not here to watch the sunrise."
Lin Yuxi paused and fell silent.
Tan Yu regretted saying what was in his heart and changed the subject: "Give me your bag, it will make it easier."
"I'll carry it myself." Lin Yuxi lowered her head and continued climbing.
Shi Tang was in good physical condition and quickly caught up with Song Yunfan and the others, with Lin Yuxi right in front of them.
Seeing Tan Yu following her and paying careful attention to her, Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Tan Yu was very gentleman to girls when I was in school. He is still like this after all these years. He is not as vicious as Yan Jing."
"Second Young Master's gentleman should be divided into different people. He is only a gentleman to the people he cares about, but he is venomous to others." After Xu Songwan finished speaking, he blamed Song Yunfan, "Can you learn from Brother Yu?"
No man likes to hear such words, especially Song Yunfan who has been chasing Xu Songwan for many years and is a good boyfriend with twenty-four filial piety.
"Didn't I pull you too?"
"You just don't know how to take care of people."
Stangte couldn't stand Xu Songwan, and his attitude towards Xu Songwan was different from that towards Lin Yuxi.
In the past, for Lin Yuxi, at most he thought she was like a pretty vase that his brother didn't like, but was forced to keep at home as a memorial - of course he no longer thinks so.
As for Xu Songwan, it's like that, your good brother works as a licking dog for a prostitute, and he falls headfirst into it. You persuaded him eight hundred times, but he was exhausted. In the end, not only did he not turn back, but he also succeeded. I licked the girl's hand. Do you think you feel uncomfortable?
Shi Tang sneered from behind: "You have to wait for someone to climb a mountain. I don't need a whole eight-carry sedan to carry you up."
Xu Songwan looked a little embarrassed, but Song Yunfan protected her: "Why are you so angry? If you are anxious, go up first."
Lin Yuxi simply stopped and got out of the way: "You guys go first."
Xu Songwan immediately said: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry, let's climb slowly together."
Lin Yuxi took out a water bottle and drank water: "You are too noisy and annoying to listen to."
"..."
Song Yunfan took Xu Songwan away first. When Jiang Nan passed by, he turned around and looked around: "Why hasn't Yan Jing come up yet?"
Shi Tang said: "My brother is in front."
Jiang Nan looked up in surprise: "When did he go up?"
"Went in the morning. Didn't you see it just now?"
Jiang Nan walked forward doubtfully.
Shi Tang bared his teeth and said to Lin Yuxi who was standing on the roadside, "Sister-in-law, am I smart or not?"
Lin Yuxi looked at him expressionlessly.
"..." Shi Tang retracted his teeth.
Song Yunfan and others left first, but Shi Tang kept following Lin Yuxi and Tan Yu like a snail.
As he walked, he found every opportunity to get in between the two of them.
There was a steep rock at the corner. After Tan Yu stepped up, he turned back and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yuxi.
Unexpectedly, there was Shi Tang behind him.
Shi Tang put his hand on him, grabbed him and used his strength to step up, with a look of emotion on his face: "Brother Yu, you are such a gentleman."
Tan Yu's forehead twitched: "..."
The stone was a bit high for Lin Yuxi. She stepped on it with her left foot first. Tan Yu let go of Shi Tang and was about to pull it away.
A broad and strong hand fell on Lin Yuxi's waist, gently lifted her up and lifted her up.
Lin Yuxi turned around, and Zhou Yanjing followed him at some point.
