Cheng Manyi's secret joy was killed by Xu Yanfeng's words before it even reached her face. Her face turned pale, her palms sweating with nervousness, and she was tongue-tied: "I... I... I..."

He kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Xu Yanfeng hadn't finished yet. He was always graceful and refined, but now he didn't give anyone face. He opened his thin lips slightly, spoke in a low voice, and said word by word: "Please take it off immediately."

He used the word "please", but did not mix in much politeness.

That was the coat Xia Xi bought for him, a gift from her.

Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head in disappointment as she watched this. Cheng Manyi was still too young, completely vulnerable. But the next moment, a slow, dull ache spread through her heart. How could Xia Xi be so lucky? Xu Yanfeng was actually serious about her.

Cheng Manyi felt embarrassed. Her hands were shaking when she took off her clothes. She had another piece of clothing underneath, but she felt naked.

She handed her coat to Xu Yanfeng, but he refused to take it. She had no choice but to put it on the chair. Her face turned from pale to blood red. Before she ran away, she did not forget to find a good excuse for herself: "I'll go see if there's anything I can help with."

Xia Xi put down the orange juice in her hand, and when the incident was over, she calmly asked Xu Yanfeng: "How did you handle your affairs?"

"I've already explained it."

Xu Yanfeng picked up the coat on the chair and shook it a few times. The strange smell of perfume on it did not dissipate because of his movements. He frowned deeply and felt the urge to throw it away.

But this was a gift from Xia Xi.

Xia Xi licked her lips, noticing that his expression was off: "Are you okay?"

Seeing him staring at the coat in his hand in a daze, she was a little puzzled. She didn't care much about it, so why did he look angry and hurt?

"It's dirty and I want to throw it away." He said what was in his heart.

Xia Xi narrowed her eyes, her eyes dangerous: "This is a gift from me to you!" After waiting for a whole month, the express delivery finally reached her!

"I know, so I endured it and went back to dry-clean it before wearing it again." Xu Yanfeng continued with the second half of the sentence.

Xia Xi: “…”

Who did you learn this from? If you don't finish your sentence at once, you'll get beaten!

After resting for a while, the two continued to set up the tent.

Just now the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Without any sign, the weather changed suddenly. Dark clouds rolled in and merged into one, as if someone had pulled a dark gray cloth over the head.

"Fuck, am I blind?"

"It's not that you're blind, it's that the world has changed, stupid guy."

"Is it going to rain? There's no rain in the forecast."

Unconvinced, some people took out their phones to check the latest weather forecast. However, the signal was too poor at the moment, the refresh circle kept spinning, and the interface took a long time to appear, so they gave up.

The worry didn't last long, as the sun broke through the thick clouds and shone on everyone's faces again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, spread a picnic blanket on the ground, and placed the fruit, snacks, and cakes they had brought on the table. Soon, a new problem arose.

"Lao Qin, where's the barbecue grill you brought? Set it up, what are you waiting for?"

Lao Qin looked confused and pointed at his nose. "Are you talking about me? You told me to ask the owner of the B&B if they had a barbecue grill. I asked, and they did, so I thought you brought it with you when you left."

"I didn't bring it."

"I didn't bring any either."

"Where are the barbecue ingredients?"

"It seems to be in the refrigerator."

“…”

When they asked other people, they all shook their heads in confusion. No one had remembered to bring anything, so the BBQ they had been dreaming of for a long time was shattered.

Everyone had sad faces and for a moment, there were wailings everywhere.

As the leader, Xu Yanfeng calmly stood up and looked for a place with a good signal. He had just spoken with someone on the phone and had experience knowing where the call wouldn't drop. He called the owner of the B&B and asked him to find someone to bring it up, and he would pay for the extra labor costs.

The owner apologized and said, "It's not about the cost. We have limited grills and they were borrowed by another guest."

There were not only their group of team-building people staying in the B&B, but also two other groups. One group was family members, about seven or eight people, and the other group was young friends, about a dozen people, who were having a barbecue in the backyard.

Xu Yanfeng hung up the phone and walked back with his phone. He heard a group of people complaining that it was a pity that there was no barbecue in such a good atmosphere.

He thought for a moment, then spoke slowly, "The barbecue utensils at the B&B have been borrowed by another guest. I'm going down the mountain to buy some. It might take a long time. Is this okay with you guys?"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.

The Secretary General spoke first: "If anything, I should be the one to buy it. How can I trouble you?" It doesn't make sense to ask them to spend both money and effort. It makes them look so ignorant.

Others reacted and expressed their opinions: "I'll go, I'll go."

Xu Yanfeng casually came up with an excuse to suppress them: "I just happened to be going down the mountain to do something, so I'll go."

After he said that, others couldn't grab it anymore and had to respect his decision.

Before leaving, Xu Yanfeng instructed the Secretary General, "Take good care of everyone."

Xia Xi stood up from the chair, lowered his rolled-up sleeves, raised one leg, and smoothed out his rolled-up trouser legs. He then switched to the other leg, straightened it out, and followed Xu Yanfeng: "I'll accompany you."

The others just watched her and didn't stop her. She was her girlfriend, so it was normal for her to accompany her.

Xu Yanfeng smiled and scanned her face: "Aren't you tired?"

Xia Xi shook her head, her expression not showing any sign of lying, and it was indeed the case: "Not at all." She slept all the way on the bus, and after arriving at the B&B, she had a good sleep and was full of energy.
