"Should we open the door? The smell is a bit strong."

"Isn't this all your fault? What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"I...I didn't want to either, and besides, you didn't refuse."

"How embarrassing! Can't you...can't you do it tonight?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"..."

In the afternoon, Gou Shengli and his group were the first to unzip their jackets.

A furtive head popped out.

After confirming that no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the tent, and was holding a plastic bag in his hand.

"Speaking of which, shall we have barbecue tonight?" Lin Miaomiao came out, her hair loose and disheveled, looking nothing like the youthful and beautiful woman she had been in the morning.

"Yes, but before that, we need to prepare some ingredients." Gou Shengli nodded and then took out his phone.

"Shall I ask them if they're awake yet?"

It would be too presumptuous to go to someone's tent and ask for help.

Maybe they're not available right now?

After all, they're not the only couple.

Those who know, know.

In the group chat.

Gou Shengli: Is everyone awake?

Wu Da: I woke up a long time ago.

Su Qing: I'm awake.

Chen Yingying: Yes.

The others didn't reply to the message; they're probably still asleep.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that all those who have woken up are single.

Gou Shengli's expression was somewhat strange, then turned lewd.

Hehe, this is interesting.

He spoke again.

Gou Shengli: We're going to have a barbecue tonight, and we also need to find some firewood for our camping trip. Let's all go and help out.

No one responded.

However, less than two minutes later, Wu Da crawled out of the tent.

"Everything is great in the wild, except it's a bit hot," Wu Da said, scratching his hair.

"The sun is about to set, it will cool down then," Gou Shengli said.

While they were talking, Su Qing and Chen Yingying also came out.

"Senior Jiang is still sleeping," Chen Yingying said with a wry smile.

It has to be said that Jiang Yunxiao sleeps really well; even if there's a girl lying next to her, she can fall asleep instantly.

Chen Yingying, however, is a light sleeper and woke up after about half an hour.

“Just the few of us, the others are probably still enjoying their pleasures,” Gou Shengli said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the other people's faces immediately turned strange.

They're not children anymore, and it was said rather veiledly.

Su Qing glanced subconsciously at the tent where Lin Xun and the others were, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

"There are five of us, so let's split into two groups. One group will stay here and prepare our ingredients, while the other group will go into the mountains to gather some firewood. Once they wake up, the task of cooking will be handed over to them," Gou Shengli arranged.

None of them had any objections to this.

"Then I'll go gather firewood," Wu Da volunteered.

He was a boy after all, so he naturally had to take the initiative to do hard work like gathering firewood.

“I’ll join your group too. I also want to go into the mountains for some fun,” Chen Yingying said with a smile.

Wu Da was somewhat surprised, but he nodded.

“Okay, but don’t go too far. Stay nearby, or you won’t have time to call for help if you encounter any danger.” Gou Shengli nodded.

"Then I'll go too," Su Qing said.

“Okay, then Miaomiao and I will prepare the ingredients here.” Gou Shengli nodded.

Lin Miaomiao had no objections.

After making their decision, the group went their separate ways.

"There shouldn't be any wild animals on this mountain, right?" Chen Yingying asked curiously as they walked through the woods.

Su Qing said from the side, "It's normal for wild animals to exist in the mountains, but they are usually wild boars and the like. I don't recall seeing tigers or lions."

“Indeed, in the southern part of the city, we rarely hear reports of people being attacked by wild animals,” Wu Da nodded.

"Wild boar? I heard you can eat wild boar?" Chen Yingying's eyes lit up.

Su Qing nodded: "It is indeed edible, and very delicious."

"Wow, you've eaten this before?" Chen Yingying looked at her with admiration.

Su Qing smiled and said, "I've eaten it before. I live in Liangcheng, which has a lot of mountainous areas. My hometown is a village. When I was a child, the villagers used to hunt wild boars, and the whole village would have a feast..."

At this point, Su Qing lowered her head and smiled, "That happened a long time ago."

“I’ve eaten it too, but it was bought from the market, so I don’t know if it’s authentic,” Wu Da said with a smile.

Chen Yingying listened to their conversation and felt a little curious.

"Oh right, I heard that Lin Xun also lived in Liangcheng back then, right?" Chen Yingying asked, seemingly remembering something.

Wu Da raised an eyebrow.

Su Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are from the same hometown. However, at that time, his family was very ordinary. But later, I was also very shocked."

She couldn't accept that Lin Xun was the son of the richest man at the time.

Initially, she chose Qin Hao because of his money. Originally, there was indeed an ambiguous relationship between her and Lin Xun.

But later, fate played a cruel trick on us.

Of course, at the time she only knew that Lin Xun was a hidden rich second generation, and later she found out that his family was the richest in the country!

Did she ever regret it? Su Qing had to admit that she had.

But thinking about it later, I realized that some things are destined to be missed. I and Lin Xun were just parallel lines from the beginning.

Until he met Su Qingshi.

The girl who had amazed her for so long.

Even before, she wasn't optimistic about this couple, but as it turns out, their being together was destined.

"Actually, Lin Xun's behavior is also due to his parents. As far as I know, Uncle Lin is in charge of the Lin family business and faces many formidable rivals. If there is any mishap, the entire Lin family business will collapse. So Uncle Lin probably wants to cultivate Lin Xun. After all, if a person grows up in a greenhouse, he will not have any outstanding qualities in the future."

Chen Yingying knew something about Lin Xun's family background.

"You're right. It's clear that he's changed a lot recently." Su Qing nodded slightly.

Wu Da, who was standing to the side, did not speak. He was Lin Xun's roommate and knew more details than Chen Yingying.

However, he also respects other people's choices; as long as the outcome is good, that's fine.

Soon, the two arrived at a fork in the road.

"Which way do we go?" Chen Yingying asked.

Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you two go this way, and I'll go that way. We'll meet here in half an hour, okay?"

“No, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Let’s go together.” Wu Da shook his head and refused.

Su Qing glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, when it comes to camping in the wild, I'm probably more experienced than you."

"That's it, I'm going now. You all go and come back quickly."

After saying that, she walked down another road.

Chen Yingying was a little puzzled: "She seems to really like being alone."

Wu Da glanced at her but didn't say anything.

On the other side, Su Qing, who was walking, suddenly stopped. She turned her head to look in the direction of Wu Da and the others and smiled slightly.

Whether it works out or not depends on yourselves.

She deliberately made room for the two of them.
