There's no director more despicable than Zhou Baixi. He has the audacity to say, "If you come to Qi Province and don't climb Mount Dai, you've wasted your trip!"
However, it's no wonder that the guests on the reality show were taken hiking, especially Mount Dai, the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains. They were advised to prepare warm clothes, as Mount Dai has a high altitude, large temperature differences, and is quite cold at the summit.
Yu Qiuchi felt that the middle finger gesture that day wasn't in vain, but fortunately the production team still had some conscience and prepared hiking sticks for each guest.
It took two hours by high-speed rail from Xunhai to Ancheng, and then another taxi after getting off the train. After a lot of trouble, we finally got to the foot of the mountain, only to be told that we still had to climb to the ticket office ourselves. However, the first guest to reach the top would have priority in choosing a team for the next trip.
This gave Jiang Chenzhou, Gu Xiaojun, Xie Tingsi, and Song Yaozhuo a lot of motivation, since they all wanted to compete for the right to choose Yu Qiuchi.
[No prize! Guess who reaches the summit first!]
[I'm voting for Gu Xiaojun; after all, he works out regularly.]
[Zhou Shen is immediately ruled out; people who play games are generally physically weak.]
[My Zhou Shen has eight-pack abs, so I'm voting for Song Yaozhuo!]
[I think it's Xie Tingsi. He's a travel blogger, and he's also quite energetic and has a strong masculine presence.]
Why can't it be Tang Ke Na?
[Don't even bother with looks; this is a battleground for stamina, where offense is the main focus!]
They started climbing from Hongmen, taking the route through Zhongtianmen, Shibapan, Nantianmen, Bixia Temple, Wuyue Duzun, and Yuhuangding. It's currently summer vacation, and Mount Tai is incredibly crowded.
Yu Qiuchi didn't care much about rankings. He was probably the slowest one, always leisurely strolling at the back of the line. People often say that going up a mountain is easy but going down is hard, but if you want to go down a mountain, you have to go up first.
Yu Qiuchi didn't see anything interesting. It was pitch black all around, like he had entered the underworld. All he could see when he looked back were heads.
However, his appearance was so outstanding that, coupled with the presence of a photographer, many people mistook him for an internet celebrity, and some even went so far as to ask him for a photo.
After passing Hutian Pavilion, you'll reach Huimaling. As the name suggests, you ride a horse up the mountain, but here the horse has to go back, and you'll have to rely on manpower to go up. Yu Qiuchi wasn't particularly eager to win today. He even took a few drab photos of the two-column stone archway, since he was already there.
After a winding path, you arrive at the Guanyin Hall, which enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva. Opposite the Bodhisattva is an ancient tree with a thousand-year history. Many people have placed prayer plaques under the tree. It is here that Yu Qiuchi meets Yan Qing.
Yan Qing squatted under the ancient tree, looking like she was on the verge of depression.
I found a poor little thing on the street.
Yu Qiuchi sighed, squatted down, and asked, "Why are you squatting here? Where is everyone?"
"Xie Tingsi and the others climbed too fast..." Yan Qing picked at the small pebbles on the ground. Last night, his heartfelt message was sent to Xie Tingsi.
He had more or less guessed that Xie Tingsi liked Yu Qiuchi, but he just wanted to give it a try last night... Today he originally wanted to climb with Xie Tingsi, but Xie Tingsi didn't care about his thoughts at all and rushed to the front of the group.
After all, he came to the dating reality show with great enthusiasm, and he can be said to be one of the more proactive guests. However, he suffered repeated setbacks with Xie Tingsi in just a few days. Although he knew that he was not a hundred-dollar bill and could not be liked by everyone, he was still a little disappointed. In addition, he was not very athletic and was really tired, so he just squatted under the old tree like a mushroom.
Yu Qiuchi rubbed Yan Qing's head and brushed away the stray hairs that had fallen across his forehead: "It's okay, come with me. I'll take you up in the cable car later, without the production crew's knowledge."
“But I’m afraid of heights…” Yan Qing said, looking up with a pitiful expression.
[Haha, I laughed. They kept it from the production team, but now that they've mentioned it, the whole internet knows!]
[Hilarious level: 1000% (secretly), hilarious level: known throughout the internet, hilarious level: (almost) my fear of heights, hilarious level: (%)?
[Xie Tingsi is really clueless. My adorable Yan Qing has made it so clear. Even if he doesn't like it, can't he at least be a little more gentlemanly and slow down?]
[We can't use moral blackmail! Romance reality shows are inherently competitive, and Xie Tingsi has her own goals too. She's fighting tooth and nail for priority!]
[If he takes care of Yan Qing, you'll call him a "central air conditioner" (meaning someone who is nice to everyone); if he doesn't, you'll call him cold-hearted. Rumors are spread by netizens; no matter what he does, he's wrong.]
[Seriously! Isn't anyone paying attention to Tang Ke? As a character we've all decided to cast as the uke, his stamina is truly amazing. He's keeping up with Jiang Chenzhou and the others without falling behind at all!]
The seven guests on the dating reality show were automatically divided into two groups: the first group was the "competitive rush" group, and the second group was the "relaxation and leisure" group.
Yu Qiuchi led Yan Qing to Zhongtianmen, where there was a large rest area.
"Would you like something to eat?" Because they had eaten dinner on the high-speed train in a hurry, and because they stayed up late last night, they were sleepy this afternoon and didn't eat very well.
There are quite a few stalls here. The prices aren't as good as those below, but it's good enough that they have them. Why be picky?
For people like them who don't exercise for a long time, climbing to Zhongtianmen is already very tiring. They saw many other people who came to climb at night simply put their ID cards on the big rock at the ticket office to motivate themselves!
"Mmm!" Although Yan Qing was feeling down late at night, he felt much better because Yu Qiuchi was with him. However, he found that Yu Qiuchi's physical strength was even worse than his.
But who would have thought that milk tea would be sold on Mount Tai now? This is a business opportunity!
Actually, once you get to Zhongtianmen, there's still room to back out. You can take the cable car down. They climbed for four hours from Hongmen to here, and it's already midnight. Meanwhile, the first group has already reached Nantianmen.
