Chapter 76: On the 76th day of my reservedness, it was Pei Yunhe who picked up the big…

Finally, when Pei Yunhe and Shan Yin arrived at the camp on the mountainside, Meng Chuan and others had already prepared everything.

Shan Yin felt embarrassed to trouble them with everything, so she asked if there was anything else she could help with. Pei Yunhe pulled her over and sat her down beside him.

"Just sit with me. They can't sit still. If we eat and drink well, we're helping them."

Meng Chuan stood up and glared at him, then said harshly, "Yes, yes. Mr. He, it's a rare honor for you to come and have fun, so I have to serve you well."

Pei Yunhe glanced at him and said, "I'm giving Lan Cen face for this matter. If you don't do the logistics, who else can do it? Why, are you still not happy?"

Meng Chuan didn't dare offend Lan Cen, so he approached him again. "Cen Cen, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm happy to help! I'll make sure everyone eats and drinks well! Next time you go out, be sure to take me with you!"

Lan Cen drove him away speechlessly: "Go away, go away."

Shan Yin really didn't expect that Meng Chuan loved Lan Cen so much that he would become such a servile person.

Pei Yunhe hadn't had the chance to tell her the stories of Meng Chuan and Lan Cen over the years. She only vaguely remembered that when they were in school, the class monitor Lan Cen was serious and solemn, and there were occasionally some naughty boys around her who always competed with her.

Shan Yin stared at Meng Chuan for a few seconds, not sure if there was a Meng Chuan among those boys, but seeing Meng Chuan jumping around Lan Cen like a monkey, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Dan Yin? Don't laugh at me. I'm doing this because I love my Cen Cen!"

Meng Chuan caught a glimpse of Shan Yin laughing, and he was neither embarrassed nor ashamed. While serving tea to Lan Cen, he also reasoned with Shan Yin.

"What man wouldn't show off his skills in front of the one he loves? Isn't Ah He the same?"

Pei Yunhe glared at him, but he became even more excited.

"Don't mention it. When I think back to high school, Ah He had good grades and his looks were only slightly worse than mine. Even if he didn't open his screen, there were still a bunch of girls following him around like crazy."

Meng Chuan stood by the stream, surveying everyone in the camp. He stroked his chin and said, "Looking at it this way, our outing today feels a bit like the spring outing to Baiyun Mountain at the end of our sophomore year."

That's not the point. The point is: "I remember when Ah He was the leader, there was a long line of girls following him! Not only were there girls from our class, but even girls from other classes came! Hey, he's really something, even playing guitar in public, he was as handsome as a peacock spreading its feathers!"

Speaking of this, Pei Yunhe became annoyed and said coldly, "It's all because of you guys who are stirring up trouble."

Lan Cen also said, "He keeps talking all day long."

They were all afraid that Meng Chuan's words would make Shan Yin unhappy, but when Pei Yunhe turned around, they saw Shan Yin looking very interested.

"You can play guitar?"

After Meng Chuan's guidance, Shan Yin remembered some things. During the spring outing at the end of the second year of high school, they went to Baiyun Mountain.

That memory was not a good one. Dan Yin buried it deep in his heart and gradually forgot about it. He even couldn't remember when Pei Yunhe played the guitar.

But if you think about it again, it's not surprising.

Pei Yunhe can play the piano and has musical talent. He has all kinds of talents, so it's no surprise that he can play the guitar.

But Meng Chuan asked in surprise: "Didn't you see it that day?"

Shan Yin shook her head regretfully, she couldn't remember.

"Then we have to make it up on the spot!" Meng Chuan shouted.

"You're making trouble again!"

While Lan Cen was still talking about Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan had already grabbed a guitar from the camper van next to him and threw it in front of Pei Yunhe.

One of their friends who came with them today happened to have brought a guitar. Meng Chuan encouraged Pei Yunhe: "Your wife wants to hear it, why don't you show off your skills?"

Pei Yunhe didn't mind. He took the guitar and asked Shan Yin with lowered eyebrows: "Do you want to listen?"

Shan Yin thought for a second, blinked, and his eyes lit up, "I thought so."

Needless to say, Pei Yunhe tuned the strings amid the screams of Meng Chuan and others, gave a light strum, and began to play and sing facing Shan Yin.

The melody slowly sounded, and everyone quickly recognized that it was still the song "Perfect".

Suddenly a breeze blew through the mountains, and the leaves rustled like a beautiful chord. Pei Yunhe's warm and magnetic voice, with the words "I found a love for me", brought everyone into distant memories.

Dan Yin listened carefully to the lyrics, and the moment when he sat in front of the piano and sang on the wedding day seemed to reappear in front of his eyes.

He played and sang this song that day, and at the end, he told her that their future had begun.

At that time, she didn't know that there was not only a future between them, but also a past.

Now sitting in this gentle breeze, listening to him express his love, Dan Yin felt even warmer and more emotional in her heart than on the wedding day.

He sang, "When you said you looked a mess I whispered underneath my breath, But you heard it darling you look perfect tonight."

Shan Yin actually felt that the embarrassing situation and chaotic mood during that spring outing had been smoothed out.

During that spring outing, the weather was not as nice as it is today. It rained continuously for several days. Although there were sidewalks in the mountains, the mud was soaked by the rain and splashed onto the sidewalks, making it muddy everywhere.

As her second year of high school was drawing to a close, she had almost spent a full year in Nanqiao. News came from Yunsu that her second uncle Shan Zewu was making moves in the Shan family from time to time, with the intention of reshuffling the cards so that he could hold all the shares held by everyone in his hands.

She was sent to Nanqiao by her grandfather Su Daosheng to hide there for a year. Shan Zewu must have been resentful, but he had no place to vent his resentment, so he had to vent it on the Su family. Not only did he repeatedly make trouble for the Shan family, he also went to the Su family to bother Su Daosheng.

Although Shan Yin was studying in Nanqiao, he was always concerned about Yun Su's affairs. He heard that Shan Zewu and Su Daosheng were fighting for her custody. Shan Zewu's family was shameless, and Su Daosheng, who had lived an upright life, was very angry.

At that time, her grandmother was also seriously ill. Shan Yin felt sorry for her grandfather and wanted to go back to help, but Su Daosheng refused. He just told her to stay in Nanqiao and not to worry about Yun Su's affairs.

But if this happens, all the burden will fall on Su Daosheng. Shan Yin doesn't often talk about this with Su Wan, but he is always worried about it and feels guilty.

It was Qingming Festival again, and she missed her deceased parents even more. In addition, she had been provoked and bullied by Shan Feiyu a while ago, so Shan Yin really felt that she was useless.

So for her, the spring outing was no different from any other ordinary day, and it was raining heavily. She didn't like rainy days, and everything wet made her irritable and exhausted.

She walked alone at the end of the team with heavy steps. Gradually, the crowd moved away. She accidentally fell down and mud splashed all over her head and face. Her school uniform was also dirty, with yellow and black spots.

She had never been so embarrassed before. The skin on the palm of her hand was scratched and burning, and her nose felt extremely sore for a moment.

But she resisted the urge to cry, gritted her teeth and stood up, not wanting to trouble the person who had walked far ahead, so she continued to follow with the broken umbrella in her hand.

Unfortunately, she delayed for too long and could hardly see the people in front of her. The rain got heavier and she accidentally took a wrong turn, making it increasingly difficult for her to catch up with the main group.

Later, the person was found by classmates on the trail. As it was getting dark, it was not feasible for everyone to go down the mountain, so they had to camp on the mountain for the night as planned.

Lao Bai found a female teacher and a class monitor to comfort and take care of her. She was wet all over. The teacher changed her clothes and tidied her hair, but she still looked very disheveled.

Fortunately, the rain stopped in the evening. After a simple meal, everyone gathered around the campfire, organizing their own activities and singing and dancing.

The class monitor was afraid that she would be frightened, so he took her around to chat with classmates and play with everyone.

It’s just that Dan Yin’s mood has always been low and he lacks interest.

Some boys saw her sitting silently and not saying a word, and with good intentions, they urged her to perform a show or sing a Jiangnan folk song.

How could Shan Yin still be in the mood to perform at this time? She was so panicked that her eyes were vague and she stammered a few words. The bitterness that she hadn't cried out when she fell before suddenly came out at this moment, and she was almost crying.

Fortunately, someone stepped up and the sound of the guitar rang out, along with her cell phone ringtone.

It’s Shan Zewu.

The news was to force her to go back, and the tone was pretending to be close but actually trying to control her. There was arrogance and threats between the lines.

The bitterness in Shan Yin's heart suddenly turned into anger. He turned off his phone and ran away in a panic.

It was not a very pleasant spring outing. Dan Yin recalled it many times later and almost wanted to erase this gray and black page from his memory.

But now, when she heard Pei Yunhe playing and singing this song again, a bitter smile appeared on her lips when she sang this line, and then the bitter smile turned gentle.

She thought, if she were in such a mess now, Pei Yunhe would surely whisper in her ear: "You look beautiful tonight."

“I’ll go!”

Suddenly, Meng Chuan shouted loudly.

Pei Yunhe had just finished singing a song when everyone's attention was drawn to Meng Chuan.

He stared at Pei Yunhe blankly, his chin and fingers trembling, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"Oh my god! You were already confessing your feelings at that time!"

The accused was stunned for a moment, then slowly put away his guitar and looked at Meng Chuan as if he wanted to hear more.

Meng Chuan screamed, "My grades are average! But I can understand English! Didn't Shan Yin fall and fall behind that day? I was wondering why you were so crazy trying to find someone, and then she was teased by others, and you even insisted on singing for the first time. I thought you were possessed by some mountain spirit or ghost! I was thinking, you were actually confessing your love to Shan Yin at that time?!"

Shan Yin suddenly looked at Pei Yunhe.

His eyes reflected the sparkling light on the stream, sincere and eager, but one could also see some helplessness from more than ten years ago.

He was chosen as the grade leader for that spring outing. In addition to leading his classmates, he also had to take care of students from several other classes in the same grade.

From the very beginning, he walked in front holding a flag. Meng Chuan was chattering beside him, and a group of people surrounded him so tightly that his vision was blocked.

He looked back several times at Shan Yin who was at the end of the team, and saw that she was walking slower and slower. However, as the team leader, he couldn't leave the team easily, so he had to slow down and look back frequently.

Later, more and more people crowded around him. At some point, he looked back in the direction of Shan Yin, but found that she was gone.

He immediately reported to the teacher that he wanted to go look for her. The teacher was not at ease to let his student go, but Pei Yunhe insisted, saying that there was strength in numbers and that it was getting late and there might be dangers in the mountains, so he had to go.

Meng Chuan couldn't pull him back, so he could only call the class monitor and a few classmates to join him as they walked through the muddy mountain paths, staring intently to search one by one.

Fortunately, he finally found Shan Yin on a small path. Pei Yunhe's heart was pounding like thunder. He leaned over and gasped. He waved his hand and asked the class monitor and others behind him to go over and help her first. Then he turned around and went to find the teacher himself.

Dan Yin was fine, and he finally felt relieved. But after she was finally comforted and was able to rest among her classmates, those inconsiderate students still started to urge her to perform.

What to perform?

Why didn't they look for her so vigorously when she got lost and fell?

Pei Yunhe was so angry that he wanted to shake his fist, but Meng Chuan pulled him back and said cheerfully, "I haven't heard of Jiangnan Xiaoqu either. You know what, she's so gentle and soft, but her words are so beautiful."

"Listen, listen, listen to your head!"

Pei Yunhe stood up and happened to see a classmate next to him taking out a guitar. He walked over, said hello, borrowed the guitar, and walked to the campfire to say he wanted to perform.

Pei Yunhe is also somewhat famous in Nanqiao No. 1 Middle School. Usually, people have to invite him several times to watch his talent show. He usually does not show up easily unless it is a big occasion like the school anniversary or when leaders come to visit.

So when he said he wanted to perform, naturally no one was unhappy. The girls moved chairs and stools and formed a circle. He finally managed to see through the crowd and saw Shan Yin who had been sitting silently beside him.

He tuned the strings. Actually, he hadn't decided what to perform yet. Now, looking at Shan Yin with wet forehead, pale face and sad expression, he looked really embarrassed.

He couldn't help but think of the lyrics, so he strummed the strings and sang the song "Perfect" naturally.

"And you said you weren't confessing your feelings! You looked perfect tonight! You're too much! I'm giving Master Meng goosebumps!"

Meng Chuan's ghostly cries brought back Pei Yunhe's memories.

He looked at Shan Yin. Obviously, Shan Yin also remembered something because of Meng Chuan's reminder.

Her expression first became realization, then surprise. As expected, just as he had expected, once she knew his past thoughts, she would always feel extremely guilty.

This is why he has always been reluctant to tell Shan Yin about his past.

But after Shan Yin knew that they were classmates, he wanted to find out more, and he didn't want to go against Shan Yin's wishes.

At this point in this hiking and creek-tracing trip, everything that should and should not be said has been exposed to the bright sun like stones under clear water.

He walked over and took Shan Yin's hand, "Now you understand. It was me, Pei Yunhe, who got such a huge bargain. You don't have to feel guilty."

The author has something to say: The lyrics are still from the song "Perfect".
