Chapter 171 Cosplaying a Male College Student?

After returning home from yesterday's sharing session, Qu He had a dream last night.

In her dream, she returned to the year she entered university.

After the freshman ceremony, she and her newly acquainted roommate walked toward the freshman wish wall to write down their wishes.

But she could feel a gaze fixed on her the whole way.

This feeling intensified after she wrote down her wish.

Her roommate had already taken her hand and was about to leave, but for some inexplicable reason, she turned back and looked across the crowd at the spot where she had just been standing.

That spot has already been taken by the new students.

"It's probably just my imagination."

She thought about it and looked away.

However, the moment she turned around, a man in a dark trench coat stood against the flow of people at the spot where she had just written down her wish.

He looked up and stared at the still-damp black writing on the wall.

The dream suddenly switched.

She didn't miss out on Professor Qimo's offer and went to the UK for further studies.

On a rare sunny day in London, she accidentally bumped into someone's arms at a corner on the street next to the Royal College.

She hurriedly looked up and met a pair of familiar amber eyes.

Then, a deep voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "Hello, Qu He."

"Ahe? Ahe!"

Qu He was suddenly pulled out of her dream by a familiar voice.

She opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling and Zhuang Bieyan's face, which was very close to hers.

Her heart was still pounding from that incredibly vivid dream, and she stared at him blankly.

The face that smiled at her on the London street corner in her dream is exactly the same as the face in front of her now.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Zhuang Bieyan gently rubbed her furrowed brows, his fingertips still cool from washing up. "I noticed you were frowning the whole time."

Qu He shook her head, her Adam's apple bobbing, but she didn't say anything.

I went back to university, but instead of remembering anything from my childhood, I had this ridiculous dream.

Zhuang Bieyan had already gotten up to change his clothes. Qu He slowly sat up and stared blankly at his back.

She dawdled as she went to wash up, and while brushing her teeth, she was still recalling the details of her dream.

Toothpaste foam clung to the corners of his mouth as Zhuang Bieyan's voice came from the doorway: "Ahe."

"Hmm?" she mumbled, toothpaste still in her mouth, and turned to look at him.

"I checked the weather forecast. It will be very cold at sunrise in Luanshan tomorrow. I have prepared two sets of windproof jackets. Come and see which one you like."

Qu He then remembered that they were going to Luanshan today to see the sunrise the next morning.

She had originally planned to go a few days ago, but the trip was postponed due to thick clouds. If Zhuang Bieyan hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten about it.

"Oh, okay."

She wiped her mouth and walked towards the bedroom. Just as she reached the door, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhuang Bieyan was standing directly in front of the wardrobe, facing him.

He wore a simple white short-sleeved shirt, black cargo pants, a red hiking backpack slung over his shoulder, and a black baseball cap on his head.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling on his hair and revealing a touch of youthful innocence.

Qu He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "President Zhuang, are you cosplaying as a male college student?"

Zhuang Bieyan solemnly adjusted his backpack straps: "It's more convenient to wear light clothing when hiking."

She didn't believe it.

Who was so serious about age last night?

It seems that someone has taken last night's "daddy" and "older man" comment to heart and is trying to win back some ground with their outfit.

She didn't expose him.

Luanshan is a 5A-level scenic spot in the northern part of the city. It is famous for its sunrise and sea of ​​clouds, and sunset and starry sky. Every year, people from all over the country come to hike and climb the mountain.

I visited Quhe once during my university years, with my roommate.

Back then, I was a college student, and I had plenty of brute strength.

I started climbing the mountain the night before to see the sunrise, but when I got to the top, I was met with thick fog. I couldn't see the sunrise, or even the trees on the opposite side.

Everyone was quite disappointed at the time.

It was Saturday afternoon, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the entrance was already crowded with people, mostly young people who were planning to climb at night.

Their faces were full of excitement as they took photos at the entrance, holding their hiking poles.

There are two options for climbing the mountain: one is to take the cable car from the entrance at the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside and then start climbing, or you can start directly from the bottom of the mountain.

From the parking lot to the entrance, Qu He kept brainwashing Zhuang Bieyan:

"Give yourself a break. Isn't it better to take the cable car up the mountain? Why torture your legs?"

"I'm no longer the beautiful 18-year-old girl who could climb the whole way in one go. Wouldn't it be better to save my energy for something else?"

"Look how stable, how long, how spacious that cable car is, and you can even see the scenery. It's such a good deal."

Zhuang Bieyan initially listened to her advice with a smile, but later reluctantly raised his hands in surrender: "Ahe is right, strength should indeed be used where it is needed."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the cable car ticket booth.

Qu He stood there watching his back, stunned for two seconds before realizing the deeper meaning in his words, her ears instantly turning red.

This man is quite cunning.

The cable car slowly ascends, and the scenery gradually unfolds.

Beneath my feet lay layers upon layers of green, the mountain forests and streams gradually narrowed, and my view suddenly opened up.

After getting off the cable car, the real climb began.

The trails on Luanshan Mountain are all stone steps that wind their way up, making them very safe.

There were several rest stops along the way, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Qu He's stomach started growling uncontrollably.

She stared intently at the sizzling, oily sausages on the stall next to her.

Zhuang Bieyan had noticed her subtle movements long ago, and before she could speak, he walked towards the stall.

Qu He immediately followed behind him with small, quick steps.

Just as I was about to pay, two girls suddenly asked in hushed voices, their voices filled with excitement and uncertainty, "Hello, are you Sister Qu He?"

Qu He turned around and saw two young women in sportswear, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhuang Bieyan instinctively took a step forward, standing in front of Qu He, his eyes filled with wariness.

"Hello." Qu He greeted them proactively, seeing that they meant no harm.

The two girls instantly became excited, their hands clenched tightly together, their voices trembling slightly: "Sister Qu He! It really is you! We love you and President Zhuang so much!"

"We thought you two were so sweet while we were hiking. He kept staring at you and even helped you up the steps. We thought your backs looked familiar, and we were so surprised it really was you!"

Qu He smiled and thanked her.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhuang Bieyan suddenly curve his lips into a smile, then turn around and go back to his stall.

"Especially President Zhuang,"

One of the girls couldn't help but add, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhuang Bieyan's back, "From behind, we thought he was some male college student! He looks so young! We hesitated for a long time before we dared not recognize him."

Just then, Zhuang Bieyan turned around, holding several bags in his hand, ready to pay the bill, looking completely nonchalant.

However, Qu He noticed the smugness in his eyes.
