Chapter 24 Do you still want to join us?
Monday, the day of mountain climbing recording.
It was early September, the sky high and bright, the breeze gentle and refreshing – a beautiful and pleasant day. The guests were all very much looking forward to the event, and they busied themselves with packing early in the morning.
Cheng Luanxin also got up early, but she was too upset to sleep.
Ever since the unpleasant incident at the mall that day, she and Song Qiuchi hadn't had a serious conversation, and when they occasionally met, they just brushed past each other. Even with her carefree personality, she couldn't help feeling a little awkward.
We have to continue business today, how can we ignore you?
Last night before going to bed, she couldn't help herself and tentatively sent a message: "Don't forget to call my grandma every day to let her know you're safe!"
Song Qiuchi did reply, but only replied with two words: "Received."
It was a completely business-like attitude, without a trace of emotion.
Cheng Luanxin felt like she was suffocating just thinking about Song Qiuchi's expression when he said "got it" with a stern face.
The luggage had been packed long ago. She quickly put on some makeup, put on some sun protection equipment, and went downstairs with Duan Mengshu.
Cheng Luan was afraid that she would meet Song Qiuchi at the stairs again like last time, so she peeked around like a thief. Of course, she didn't meet anyone, but was caught by the camera.
Barrage:
"Ahhhh Akichi is here!!!"
"Hahahaha what is Qiuchi doing? Why does she seem to be sneaking around?"
"Are you looking for Luanbao?"
"My wife is so beautiful prpr"

…
To get to the Mengshan Scenic Area, one must first take a two-hour bus ride to the neighboring province. When the two went out, the bus was already parked at the door.
Cheng Luanxin packed her suitcase and boarded the bus, only to see Song Qiuchi sitting in the first row.
In order to facilitate climbing, she tied two low-cut braids, wore a baseball cap, and also wore a cream-colored knitted vest with a bear pattern that Cheng Luanxin liked very much. She looked young and energetic, but her expressionless face seemed a little depressed.
Cheng Luanxin was embarrassed and wanted to hide in the back row. At this time, Song Qiuchi said, "I've saved a seat for you. You get carsick easily. Sit next to me."
Cheng Luan was startled for a moment, then obediently sat down next to Song Qiuchi by the window, fastened her seat belt, and whispered softly into Song Qiuchi's ear: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Perhaps because Cheng Luanxin was too close, her warm breath made Song Qiuchi feel a little uneasy. She turned her face away and said, "I'm not angry."
Cheng Luanxin: "You said you weren't angry, but you didn't even look at me straight in the eye."
Song Qiuchi turned back helplessly: "You are too close."
Cheng Luanxin tilted her head: "I don't have bad breath, so why can't I get closer to you?"
Song Qiuchi: "...Okay, whatever you want."
Barrage:
"Luanbao is indeed Qiuchi's place!!"
"Luanbao really understands Qiuchi. He knew she gets carsick and saved her seat for her. How considerate!"
"But what are they saying? Can I listen to it too?"
Cheng Luan became more and more aggressive and touched Song Qiuchi's braids: "I didn't realize you were so good at braiding hair. It looks really good. When we get to the top, I'll take a few more pictures and send them to my grandma."
Song Qiuchi lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean by 'your grandma'? Can you please be more careful with your words? There are so many people in the car, and we're still recording."
Cheng Luanxin was shocked: "The recording has started so soon, and you chose such a front row seat!"
Her eyes rolled around, catching sight of the bus's front-mounted camera, and she waved timidly at it, "Hi."
Barrage:
"Hahahahahaha, Akichi, didn't you just find out that the live broadcast has started?"
"No wonder she flirted with Luanbao so brazenly and touched her hair hhh"
Who wouldn't say 'kswl' after seeing this?

Cheng Luanxin knew she was sitting right under the camera, and she started to feel uncomfortable. She wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, but couldn't find a suitable posture, so she had to continue talking to Song Qiuchi: "Hey, do you think I'm going to vomit?"
Song Qiuchi was helpless. He lowered his head and took out a pack of motion sickness patches from his pocket and handed it to her: "Put it on yourself."
Cheng Luanxin read the instructions carefully, but still couldn't figure it out: "Where is Shenquexue?"
Song Qiuchi: "Belly button."
Cheng Luanxin was confused as she held a small, round motion sickness patch. "But, the belly button is an eye. Is this supposed to cover it or fill it up?"
Song Qiuchi: "..."
Song Qiuchi: "Cover it."
Cheng Luanxin muttered: "Ah? Cover it up, how can such a small one cover it up? My belly button is quite big..."
Song Qiuchi couldn't stand it any longer. This was the first time in years that she had heard someone comment on her belly button. She was really dissatisfied: "Lift up your clothes, I'll put it on for you."
Cheng Luanxin was horrified and covered her lower abdomen: "It's not appropriate, right?"
Song Qiuchi said with a straight face: "It's just a motion sickness patch, there's nothing inappropriate about it."
Cheng Luanxin hesitated for a long time, then thought about how they were already hyping up a couple, so putting on a motion sickness patch was a normal interaction. Besides, this was Song Qiuchi's body, so there was nothing to be shy about. She pulled up her seatbelt, lifted her shirt slightly, and tilted her head: "Then put it on."
Song Qiuchi sighed, tore off the protective film of the motion sickness patch, and pressed his palm against Cheng Luanxin's belly button. It took only one second and there was no hint of romance or ambiguity.
Cheng Luan felt something was odd, but couldn't put her finger on it: "You're quite skilled."
Barrage:
"Ahhhhhh, they are so sweet."
"I was laughed to death by Qiuchi, covering it up or covering it up"
"I really like the way Luanbao looks helpless as he takes care of Qiuchi!"
The two stopped talking. Song Qiuchi opened his tablet and started working, while Cheng Luanxin put on headphones and closed his eyes to rest.
The two-hour journey passed quickly. As the bus entered the Mengshan Scenic Area, the road became narrow and bumpy, and Cheng Luanxin began to feel noticeably uncomfortable.
She twisted and turned in her seat with a bitter face, attracting Song Qiuchi's attention.
"uncomfortable?"
Cheng Luanxin nodded and pointed at her belly button: "It doesn't work very well."
Song Qiuchi thought it actually worked. Given her physical condition, if she didn't wear the motion sickness patch, she might not be able to hold out for half an hour. She didn't intend to say it out loud to scare Cheng Luanxin, but pointed at her legs and said, "Lie down for a while?"
Cheng Luan was stunned: "Can I lie down?"
Song Qiuchi nodded: "It will be more comfortable."
Cheng Luanxin's cheeks flushed slightly. She was too dizzy to ask if it was appropriate. She leaned gently on Song Qiuchi's thighs and asked, "Can I hold your waist?"
Song Qiuchi raised his waist slightly and indicated that it was okay.
Cheng Luanxin put her arm around Song Qiuchi's waist and adjusted herself to a comfortable position, not forgetting to praise herself: "Really thin."
Song Qiuchi had no choice but to help her tidy up her hair: "Rest for a while, I'll call you when we get there."
Cheng Luanxin: "I'm not that weak. I'll get up after lying down for a while."
That being said, Cheng Luanxin fell asleep faster than anyone else. It was half an hour later when Song Qiuchi woke her up.
She got out of the car in a daze and was shocked by the scene before her.
The peaks of Mount Meng are so beautiful and continuous that they appear and disappear in the vast sea of clouds, like a flowing ink painting.
It is the off-season for tourism and there are not many tourists. The only tourists who have just arrived at the foot of the mountain are the crew of the "Romance to You" program.
Annai began to explain the rules of the activity: "Today's group activity is climbing Mount Meng. As everyone knows, there are many routes to climb Mount Meng. The guidebook you just received lists four recommended routes planned by our program team. Today, you can form your own teams and freely choose your route. You can win rose tokens along the way. We will meet at the Chengyang Hotel in Puyunfeng at 7 pm. Do you understand the rules?"
The guests nodded.
Du Zhiruo naturally approached Cheng Luanxin: "Qiuchi, which route do you want to choose?"
Cheng Luanxin flipped through the guide map and found it hard to let go. There were famous check-in spots on every route, which made her, a novice who had never traveled before, hesitant.
Song Qiuchi said, "Let's choose route three. First, take the cable car to Yihua Peak, and then start hiking. This route doesn't go back to the Fuyan Grand Canyon, which saves time. We can also pass by the Xushan Temple, a scenic spot. We can go and see it."
Cheng Luan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xushan Temple was a famous temple, and going there might help her find a solution to the soul-swapping problem.
She said quickly, "Then let's choose Route 3. It's nice to take the cable car up there. It saves energy. I've never taken a sightseeing cable car before."
Du Zhiruo also agreed: "Then let's go and queue up for the cable car."
Song Qiuchi paused and stopped: "Do you still want to join us?"
