Zhao Shiyan looked at Ling Zhi across the aisle, his head hanging down and half asleep, feeling a little unbearable.
It wasn't that she didn't want to sit with Ling Zhi, but after getting in the car, Ling Zhi naturally sat next to Brother Hong. She looked at Li Mengyao sitting alone, so she took the opportunity to sit next to her, wanting to accompany her.
say something.
Li Mengyao was staring blankly at the scenery outside the window. Zhao Shiyan hesitated for a moment and finally said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time:
"Meng Yao, how about finding a time and Ling Zhi and I go back home with you?"
Li Mengyao was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhao Shiyan's sincere eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhao Shiyan suddenly felt a little at a loss. Sure enough, when it came to serious matters, he was still not as good as Ling Zhi.
She could also make Li Mengyao happy by joking and brush off her sadness, but that would go against her original intention.
Fortunately, at this moment, Li Mengyao finally spoke:
"Shi Yan, I...I'm very happy with you, I...I don't want to go home."
Having said that, she may have felt something was wrong, so she quickly added:
"I'm sorry, Shi Yan, am I being particularly willful when I say this?"
"No, no, I think it's normal. I was the one who was abrupt and willful."
Zhao Shiyan ended the topic rationally, thinking that if there was a chance in the future, he would still have to ask Ling Zhi to talk to Mengyao. He really couldn't handle this situation by himself.
"Brothers! The commercial street is here! Give everyone 10 minutes. If you need anything, get off the car and replenish it!"
Song Yihong's loud voice woke up the few sleepy tourists left in the car, and indirectly relieved Zhao Shiyan.
After replenishing supplies, the vehicle set off again and soon reached the destination of the journey: Dongxi Chong.
Dongxichong is a famous hiking spot in Pengcheng. Coast, beach and reefs together constitute the key words of this hiking route.
Every weekend, many young people come here to try this route. The gentle sea breeze and the crashing waves on the shore leave them with unforgettable memories.
The total length of the East-West Chong is only about 8 kilometers. If it is an urban trail, it usually only takes 1-2 hours to complete it.
However, the East-West Chongqing route is a completely original route.
Not to mention that the entire route is made up of beaches and rocks, and there are some steep slopes halfway up that require both hands and feet to climb, which virtually increases the difficulty of this hiking route, so it is not surprising that it takes a whole morning.
After getting off the car, Zhao Shiyan was chatting with his three roommates. When Brother Hong took them to the starting point of the hike, Zhao Shiyan looked around and couldn't find Ling Zhi!
After saying hello to her roommates, she started searching carefully in the crowd, and soon she found Ling Zhi hanging at the back of the team.
"Hey! Lingzhi! Why are you at the back of the team? It's easier for me to find you!"
Zhao Shiyan asked dissatisfiedly. Ling Zhi rubbed his brows silently and said with a bitter smile:
"I don't want to either, but Brother Hong said that in order for us to compensate for the losses caused by being late, I would be the one to finish the team, so I had no choice but to do it."
"Ah! Such... ah."
Zhao Shiyan felt that he was wrong and couldn't help but slow down his tone of voice. The trouble was, wasn't he just staying in bed for a while? Why was Brother Hong so serious?
"Then, let me accompany you."
"Hell, forget it. Look, you specially called your roommates here. Wouldn't it make them feel bad if you didn't accompany them? Besides, Mengyao probably only knows you and me in this team. If you accompany them
If I die, won’t she be left alone?”
Seeing that Zhao Shiyan was still hesitant, Ling Zhi continued to add:
"It's okay. Look, isn't Chen Feng's grandson nearby? He will accompany me to finish the process, don't worry." After that, Ling Zhi gently pushed Zhao Shiyan and motioned for her to go to the front of the team.
Chen Feng in front seemed to have heard Ling Zhi teasing him. He raised his middle finger at Ling Zhi, as if to say that you are great for having a girlfriend.
"Then...then...then I will come over and talk to you from time to time."
After saying that, she ran forward and patted Chen Feng's shoulder gently, and then ran forward to accompany her roommates.
In fact, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan both have hiking experience, and they know very well that finishing work is crucial in the process of long-distance hiking.
Ling Zhi needs to ensure that everyone does not fall behind. He has to ensure that he is always the last one in the team. If any team member suffers from heatstroke or is injured, he has to help deal with it. It can be said that it is a heavy responsibility.
Although Zhao Shiyan could also call Li Mengyao and his roommates to accompany Ling Zhi, but during this kind of beach hike, it was difficult for the team to get together and walk together, and they were often arranged in a long snake formation.
In addition, if you deliberately walk to the end of the queue, you will have to stop and go frequently, which is actually a very poor hiking experience.
Moreover, most people are somewhat competitive. Who wants to always be second to others?
Therefore, Zhao Shiyan did not force his roommates to come together.
"How's it going? He was abandoned by his girlfriend."
Chen Feng came to Ling Zhi and joked, seeming to avenge Ling Zhi for teasing him just now.
Ling Zhi didn't care and did not continue to argue with Chen Feng on this issue:
"Why are you here today? All your data has been screened?"
"Haha, the data is almost done. I will probably submit the paper before the end of the year."
"Okay, brother, congratulations, you are one step closer to graduation."
"Hey, stop talking. To be honest, do you really want to end things here for Brother Hong?"
"Then why don't you collect it for me?"
"Come on, if I finish the car, you must have gone to your girl. I can't bear to hang the tail of the car alone in the back."
"Isn't that enough?"
Ling Zhi himself is used to being alone before, so he can adapt to it whether he is at the rear of the crane or in the middle of the team.
But for Chen Feng to finish it off, it would cost him his life.
But finishing is not such a boring job for Lexus. No, Brother Hong had the foresight to give his precious SLR to Lexus to take photos of this event. After all, Brother Hong himself still has to be at the front of the team.
Open the road, no empty shots.
So, Ling Zhi took out the SLR and started discussing with Chen Feng how to play this thing.
...
At the front of the team, Song Yihong led the team members to choose the reef path that was most commonly used by previous teams.
Every time before stepping on it, he had to confirm whether it was live rock and whether there were puddles underneath to prevent the team members behind him from falling due to unstable stepping.
He understands very well that ordinary people are very excited when they first see this kind of pure natural road, but as time goes by, they will inevitably slip somewhere. After all, people's attention cannot be tense throughout the whole process.
I still have to find time to look at the sea.
Therefore, as a tour guide, he had to be alert all the time.
I remember when I first came to this route, I was very excited and couldn't stop taking pictures.
However, something happened to one of the crew members later, and he was left in a hurry. What was expected to be a wonderful journey turned out to be very bad. This is a tragic past that cannot be told by outsiders.
Asking Lingzhi to help finish this time is also due to his many years of team leadership experience. If there is no one to finish, someone will definitely fall behind, because you cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents on the road.
And Ling Zhi is considered a more trustworthy person in the team, which can be seen from the last hike along the river. Although Ling Zhi was a little wronged, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate. Looking for Lin Qisong? That guy...
You just come here to have fun, how can you do serious work?
But speaking of it, whether it is finishing or taking the lead, it is a very boring job. Fortunately, this time there is a girl by his side to accompany him, which gives Song Yihong a little hope.
Song Yihong looked at Lin Fengyang beside him. She was still wearing the familiar sunhat, facing the sea breeze, and her flowing short hair was flying towards Song Yihong, which made him stunned for a moment.
Inviting her to go hiking together this time was indeed the right choice, and it seemed that she also exercised regularly. She followed him closely from the beginning to the present, which made me somewhat gratified. But...
...
"Hey, sister, can you take a photo for me?"
Chen Zongyao handed the phone to Lin Fengyang and ran away to prepare a pose.
Why on earth did this guy come here?
Although Song Yihong once again thanked Chen Zongyao for the incident of falling into the water near the river. However, Song Yihong saw clearly from the shore that rescue incident occurred and Chen Zongyao was still not mature enough in rescue matters after all!
After rescuing Lin Qisong and Yang Jianhuan, the guy was so busy on the boat that he didn't know what to do at the first moment. If Lin Fengyang hadn't jumped on board in time to give Jianhuan artificial respiration, there's no telling what would have happened.
Thinking of this, Song Yihong took advantage of Chen Zongyao to run away and asked Lin Fengyang casually:
"Do you have that guy's contact information? Did you call that guy here?"
Lin Fengyang casually fiddled with Chen Zongyao's mobile phone, turned on the camera function, and explained:
"Well, last time he left my contact information before you guys came to the dock. I thought since he saved us, it wouldn't hurt to leave one. After all, the situation was urgent at the time. I might as well find an opportunity to thank him properly later.
."
"Oh, so you took the initiative to invite him over this time as a way of thanking him?"
"That's not true. I've told him countless times on the phone to thank him, but every time he came to me and wanted to ask me out. I had to do an internship and didn't have time, so I rejected him."
Song Yihong thought to himself that if you don't have time for internship, how can you still find time to take care of Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan? Sure enough, there are differences between people.
Lin Fengyang continued:
"So this time you asked me out, I thought I would ask him out by the way, and say thank you clearly, so that everything will be settled in the future, and he will not bother me all the time."
Hearing this sentence, Song Yihong felt a lot more balanced, and he also thought that this guy could make Lin Fengyang, who usually had a tepid personality, say the word "annoying". This shows how much he went too far when chatting with Lin Fengyang in private.
Thinking of this, Song Yihong's remaining good impression of Chen Zongyao disappeared and he began to concentrate on his own work.
...
Lin Qisong was not in the mood to look at the scenery at the moment. After all, looking at Yang Jianhuan who was always drawing with a drawing board beside him, he had to be careful at all times not to let her fall.
"Oh, the terrain is very dangerous right now! Can't you stop painting? You can even paint again during a break?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, that rock over there is so big, and the sight of the waves hitting it is so spectacular! I have to hurry up and draw it."
"I'll take a picture and let you go back and draw slowly."
"It won't feel that way after taking a photo and then painting it."
Lin Qisong was suddenly a little angry. He hated Jianhuan for insisting on painting regardless of his own safety at this time. He also hated her for not thinking about chatting with him and only caring about herself!
He suddenly reached out his hand and tried to snatch Jian Huan's drawing board away from her. While snatching it back, he told her to go back and paint again.
Jianhuan didn't want to give up halfway through the drawing, so the two began to fight over the drawing board.
Suddenly, the two of them accidentally dropped the drawing board into a puddle in the crevices of the rocks with a "pop" sound during the fight.
