Gu Rong sat by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, her thoughts drifting away.

She found that it was no different from when she went to the countryside. There were still many people at the berth, with long queues and everyone carrying big packages.

After watching for a while and getting bored, Gu Rong simply collapsed onto the bed.

Han Jianshu leaned against the window, watching the train slowly start moving, and then the scenery outside the window rushed past, occasionally stealing a few glances at Gu Rong.

Feeling the occasional glances directed her way, Gu Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Can you please stop looking? Even if you keep looking, you're not as pretty as me."

"How would you know I was looking at you if you weren't looking at me? Is it because I'm so handsome that you're captivated?" Han Jianshu said, while tidying his hair.

Looking at this young man who was already so greasy, Gu Rong couldn't help but curl her lips and lay down on the bed facing the wall, refusing to look at him.

Seeing Gu Rong's appearance, I thought she was going to sleep.

The carriage was noisy. Thinking about her problem, Han Jianshu got out of bed and walked to Gu Rong's bedside. He raised his hand and poked her back: "You know your own problem."

These days, only wealthy or high-ranking people can afford to sit in these sleeper carriages. You absolutely mustn't fall asleep, or we can't afford to compensate you if you get into an accident.

Gu Rong sat up and looked at Han Jianshu seriously: "I'm not sleeping, I'm thinking about things, don't bother me, or I'll get angry and hit you."

Looking at her little fist, Han Jianshu smiled and said, "Then face me, and I can tell if you're asleep or not."

Gu Rong knew he was doing this for her sake, so she lay down and faced Han Jianshu, saying, "Is this alright?"

But thinking that he must be bored lying there, I rummaged through my space for a while and found a comic book, which I handed to him: "Read this to pass the time when you're bored."

After saying that, he lay down on the bed, his gaze fixed on the system panel, looking at the novel that Ah Xi had found.

Han Jianshu looked at the comic book in his hand, then glanced at something that was staring at him with its eyes wide open.

However, the current situation is indeed quite boring, so I took a comic book, lay on the bed, read the comic book for a while, and then paid attention to Gu Rong's situation.

As time went by, Rong Liancheng and Fan Qi had long since gone to sleep. Rong Xin was worried that Gu Rong couldn't sleep, so she would occasionally come over to check on her and make sure she wasn't asleep before she felt at ease.

As the night wore on, seeing Gu Rong yawning, she didn't go back home out of concern, but instead sat down to rest by Gu Rong's bedside.

But to be honest, it's really hard to stay up all night.

Gu Rong's mental state was not good. Even though she was reading a novel, her head started to hurt and she was exhausted by the time she got to the middle of the night.

Han Jianshu, who was on the opposite bed, looked at her condition and deliberately sat down next to her, laughing and saying, "What's wrong? Are you captivated by my handsome face?"

Seeing that he was deliberately trying to start a conversation, Gu Rong also sat up and faced him to fight off her drowsiness: "You, a little kid, what's so handsome about you?"

Glancing at Gu Rong, who was even younger than him, Han Jianshu pressed a finger against her forehead, making her unable to move: "You're not a little kid, we're both little kids, we're a perfect match."

Han Jianshu was quite serious, but she didn't have those kinds of feelings.

Considering his situation, anyone would marry him from afar; I don't understand why he chose her.

Gu Rong tilted her head and asked, "Why is your mind always filled with these thoughts? Tell me what you like about me, and I'll change it, okay?"

Staring at Gu Rong, Han Jianshu's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I hope you live."

For some reason, Gu Rong felt a little sad when she heard his words.

But upon closer inspection, all that could be seen was Han Jianshu's ambiguous smile.

“That can’t be changed, and I like being alive,” Gu Rong yawned, her gaze falling out the window: “There are so many stars today, they’re so bright.”

Han Jianshu followed her gaze and looked out the window. "It is quite beautiful," he said softly.

Rongxin listened to their conversation and looked out the window. Today was the 14th, the moon was almost full, and there were many bright stars in the sky.

As I listened to the two younger ones chatting casually, we arrived at our destination without even realizing it.

It's past 3 a.m., but there are still quite a few people getting off the bus.

A small number of people were picked up and stayed in guesthouses, but most people waited at the train station until dawn when a train would come and they would leave.

Since Han Jianshu bought tickets for this time, he must have already booked the guesthouse.

The guesthouse wasn't far from the train station; it only took them about ten minutes to walk there.

His men gave their names, and he took the keys and led them upstairs.

Considering the actual situation, he had three rooms booked: one for Rong Liancheng and Fan Qi, one for Gu Rong and Rong Xin, and one for himself and his subordinates.

The double and multi-person rooms downstairs weren't very soundproof, so he booked single rooms upstairs, where the soundproofing was good, and the beds and other amenities were also better.

Gu Rong was extremely tired and uncomfortable. When she got to her room, she didn't even wash up before collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep instantly.

Rong Xin was afraid of disturbing Gu Rong, so she naturally didn't wash up.

To prevent Rong Liancheng or Han Jianshu from coming looking for her, Rong Xin carefully went out to say something, then returned to her room and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Gu Rong slept until after 2 p.m., while the others were already prepared and were just waiting for her to wake up before setting off.

So as soon as Gu Rong opened her eyes, Rong Xin started washing her up, then changed her clothes and carried her out of the guesthouse.

The whole thing only took a few minutes, and Gu Rong, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed.

Looking at the bus in front of her, Gu Rong looked at Han Jianshu in a daze: "You did this? 6."

From their current location, it would take them a whole day to walk to the Taoist temple, or two hours by car, and then another two hours to walk along the mountain path.

At this time, it will be five or six o'clock by the time we get to the top of the mountain.

This bus was arranged by Han Jianshu at his own expense, just to prevent Gu Rong from sleeping too late and delaying the trip to the mountain: "Hurry up, it will get dark if we delay any longer."

The group got into the car, and it started moving immediately.

But after the car had been driving for a short while, Gu Rong started to feel drowsy again, and even felt carsick, since the smell in the car really wasn't pleasant.

Han Jianshu noticed that she was uncomfortable, so he went to her side and helped her open the window a crack so that a little breeze would make her feel better.

Moreover, in order to attract her attention, he started to provoke Gu Rong again.

Gu Rong knew that he was trying to get her attention, so she chatted back and forth with Han Jianshu.

Time passed quickly. Gu Rong got off the bus and looked at the not-so-high mountain peak, her eyes widening in surprise: "How long will it take to climb this?"

Han Jianshu looked up with pride and said with a boastful tone, "I climbed it once before going to the countryside, it took less than two hours."
