"—Did you enjoy it?"
Lu Yibei asked Ji Qingqian, who was clinging tightly to his arm.
He immediately realized that his girlfriend was deliberately retaliating against him for being able to recite the poem, while she herself hadn't been able to.
Ji Qingqian raised her snow-white chin:
"Hmph~~"
At the same time, Lu Yibei released Zhao Sun and warned Ma Jiaojiao: "Little Ma, keep an eye on your senior."
Ma Jiaojiao couldn't answer with a simple "Okay~~".
Zhao Xun then cursed, "What the hell do you want?!"
Lu Yibei looked at Zhao Xun with surprise.
Ji Qingqian was the same.
Zhao Sun: ...
He speaks faster than he thinks, and his mind thinks faster than light.
It's only now that I'm realizing something's not right.
But Ji Qingqian's reaction was astonishing. With a slight hint of doubt, she called out to Zhao Xun:
"Grandma?"
Zhao Sun: ...
The little horse had no clam to live in.
"puff--"
…
Lu Yibei stood in front of the scenic area map and began to plan his route.
Shenxianju – to put it bluntly, it's about climbing mountains.
Ma Jiaojiao noticed something unusual:
"Shouldn't the poem 'A Farewell to Tianmu Mountain in a Dream' be about Tianmu Mountain? Why is it applicable to Shenxianju?"
If reciting a poem grants free admission, then the poem should correspond to the corresponding scenery, just as the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" describes the "Pavilion of Prince Teng".
Lu Yibei answered while looking at the route map:
"Because both Taicheng and Yucheng are vying for the naming rights to Tianmu Mountain—although the modern 'Tianmu Mountain' is in Yucheng, many people believe that it has simply taken over the name of 'Tianmu Mountain,' while the 'Tianmu Mountain' in Li Bai's poem should actually be the current 'Shenxianju.'"
Ma Jiaojiao nodded then, and asked:
"Hey, Senior Lu, does that mean we can get free admission to Tianmu Mountain if we recite this poem?"
Lu Yibei smiled and said, "Okay."
Ma Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Looks like I need to memorize this properly."
Yes, that's possible.
But Lu Yibei only said half of what he wanted to say.
It's true that you can get free admission if you can recite it, but you can also get free admission if you can't recite it.
—Because Mount Tianmu doesn't require an entrance fee at all.
But seeing how enthusiastic Xiao Ma was, Lu Yibei felt he shouldn't disturb her enthusiasm for learning.
"Shall we take the cable car or walk up?" Lu Yibei asked.
To put it bluntly, they were asking for Xiao Ma and Sun'er's opinions.
Lu Yibei usually gets a decent amount of exercise, while Ji Qingqian is an absolute superwoman from Northeast China.
Shenxianju is one of the easiest mountains to climb, and it posed no challenge for the two of them.
Of course, the cable car is more energy-efficient.
However, the cable car will cost 65 yuan.
What do you think?
Zhao Xun gave the choice to Ma Jiaojiao.
"Walk…"
Ma Jiaojiao opened her mouth, then glanced hesitantly at the slender Zhao Sun: "How about we take the cable car instead—"
Zhao Sun: ...
"Get up there! Let whoever wants to waste this money have it! Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, he made up his mind.
Ma Jiaojiao was still somewhat hesitant: "...Senior, are you serious? If we miss this, there won't be any more cable cars to catch halfway."
Zhao Xun sneered:
"Whoever complains about being tired is a dog!"
…
Halfway there.
Bad news.
Zhao Xun is a dog.
Even though the hiking route at Shenxianju is very accessible, it still wasn't physically demanding for someone as frail as me.
Good news—
As Zhao Xun casually found an empty spot and sat down to rest, panting heavily, Ma Jiaojiao, her face flushed, sat down next to him and also began to pant.
Zhao Xun glanced at Ma Jiaojiao.
Ma Jiaojiao also looked at him, then frowned slightly:
"Woof woof..."
—There is more than one dog.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but say, "Don't actually scream..."
Ma Jiaojiao is quite confident in her strength and believes she won't lose to the Northeastern superwoman.
But in terms of endurance, it's impossible to compare with a human.
Looking ahead, the Northeastern superwoman and her boyfriend had long since disappeared.
“They’re a truly monstrous couple…” Zhao Sun said.
Ma Jiaojiao: ...
She wondered if it wasn't a human, but a monster.
It's not that we're weak.
It would be easy to get her to admit that she is weak.
But if the senior student heard these words, it would make him very unhappy.
Watching Zhao Xun stretch her legs as if to relieve the soreness, Ma Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile. She then looked up at the sky and murmured softly:
"Ah~~ Senior~ do you think I'll lose some weight after climbing this mountain?"
Zhao Sun: ...
Ma Jiaojiao glanced at Zhao Sun again: "Maybe he won't be so chubby then~"
Zhao Sun: ...
No, you fucking still remember that?
You hold a grudge!
Zhao Xun muttered to herself, "Whether I'm thin or not isn't really a big deal..."
Ma Jiaojiao said with a bitter face, "That sounds like 'You don't need to wear makeup because you don't look good with or without makeup'... It's really hurtful."
"Bullshit, has your brain been tamed to the point where all you can do is lecture yourself?"
Zhao Xun hid her mouth under the collar of her windbreaker: "Why don't you think of the connection between 'looking good with or without makeup'?"
Ma Jiaojiao: ……
She was surprised, and her gaze went beyond just glancing at Zhao Xun.
Instead, she turned her head directly to look at him.
Zhao Xun paused for a moment:
"I'm just telling you that you can think that way, not saying..."
—That's what I mean.
That was his original explanation.
Before she could even say it, two young male hikers came up from below.
