Chapter 45: The second female lead still has a shot

The camping base is located on Dongyu Mountain. When we drove to the base, Shen Yu and his friends had already arrived.

Lu Manman was originally standing next to Shen Yu. He Tingzhou parked the car, and when the three got out, Shen Yu walked towards them.

He first looked at Shuang Xu's face and asked, "Is the injury healed?"

"It got better a few days ago." said Shuang Xu.

Shen Yu said: "Rest for a while, eat something, and set off in an hour."

Shuang Xu nodded and saw Lu Manman and several of her friends were looking at this side.

The friends that Lu Manman brought were still that group of sisters. Because of the unpleasantness on the yacht last time, she was afraid that Shen Yu would be unhappy, so she did not invite Song Leyan this time.

Shuang Xu saw the twins.

Shen Yu booked the whole place in advance, and no outsiders would come to disturb the whole mountain today.

Those who arrived first had already skillfully set up the gas stove, and all kinds of picnic cooking utensils, ingredients and drinks were prepared.

He Tingzhou placed a folding chair on the antiseptic platform, crossed his right leg over his left leg, and sat on it like a lord.

Yue Zifeng specially brought two professional SLR cameras and DVs to record today's ceremony for them.

He handed the DV to He Tingzhou and said, "You can record it later. I have adjusted all the parameters for you. Go up there and check out the location, find a suitable camera position, and then record some empty shots of the scenery. I will find someone to edit it into a long film when I get back."

He Tingzhou didn't say anything, but raised his eyelids and gave him a noble look that said "Are you ordering me around?"

"This is your cousin." Yue Zifeng stuffed the DV into his hands. "Remember, when your sister gives you the ring, you need to get a close-up."

He Tingzhou took the DV lazily: "There are still shots for the second female lead."

Shuang Xu, who was drinking water and taking a rest, said: "..."

"What second female lead? I want you to take a close-up of the ring!"

Yue Zifeng felt that he had entrusted his trust to the wrong person. The words "obey orders" did not exist in this young master's dictionary. He might as well not turn on his phone when he returned.

He Tingzhou fiddled with the DV, and the camera swept across the people who were resting in the camp.

Yue Zifeng went over to discuss the battle plan with Zuo Zhong and the others. Lu Manman and a group of sisters were busy grilling meat and making milk tea. Shen Yu and Zhou Shengan stood together and talked. Bai Qingmei picked a wild grass from somewhere, made it into a ring and put it on Zhou Shengan's finger.

The camera scanned in a certain direction and saw that Shuang Xu had tied her hair into a bun today, with a round ball on top of her head.

She held up her cell phone to take pictures of the distant mountains. Her hair on both sides fluttered in the wind, forming a smooth line from the root of her nose to the tip of her nose. Her face without makeup was light and clear, like a flawless pearl preserved in a clam shell.

After the meat was cooked, everyone gathered around the table to eat.

Shuang Xu sat down next to Yue Zifeng, and Lu Manman handed the dish she had just served to Shuang Xu: "Xiao Jiu, this is for you."

Shen Yu came over and said, "She doesn't eat bean sprouts."

Lu Manman took a long time.

Shuang Xu still reached out to take it: "It's okay."

Lu Manman took it back and smiled nonchalantly: "Don't force yourself, I'll serve you another one."

Bai Qingmei and Zhou Shengan came last and sat next to Shuang Xu. They had only seen each other briefly in the car just now, and now they had time to talk.

Shuang Xu and Bai Qingmei were not very familiar with each other, but Bai Qingmei was very friendly to her: "The last time I saw you, you were participating in a swimming competition. You have grown up in such a long time."

Shuang Xu smiled and said, "I was not back when you got married. I wish you a happy marriage."

She usually looks aloof, but when she smiles, there's a hint of smile under her eyes, which makes her look sweet.

Bai Qingmei was only a few years older than her, but she smiled and pinched her cheek like an adult would treat a child.

"Swimming competition?" Zhou Shengan asked.

"Yes, she won the championship in the youth swimming competition. Isn't that amazing?" Bai Qingmei talked about this with great interest. "She was far ahead of the second place. After the competition, a group of reporters surrounded her for an interview. The director kept cutting to her face, but unfortunately it was cut out during the replay."

"We all went to watch the game that day. Tingzhou was there too."

Shuang Xu looked obviously a little surprised as he looked at He Tingzhou who was diagonally opposite him.

Was He Tingzhou there that day? She didn't remember.

Shen Changyuan and Fu Yun were so happy that she participated in the competition. They bought dozens of tickets and gave one to each of their close friends and relatives. It was normal for He Tingzhou to receive an invitation as well.

He himself obviously didn't care much about such a small matter. He didn't even glance at Shuang Xu and said in a nonchalant tone: "Really? I don't remember."

After dinner and a short rest, the group got ready and started climbing the mountain.

There is still some distance from here to the observation deck at the top of the mountain, and it takes two hours to climb up.

You can enjoy the moderate fun of mountain climbing and make the proposal ceremony under the meteor shower full of joy; at the same time, you won’t be exhausted and your makeup will not be ruined due to excessive intensity, affecting your beauty at the important moment.

Before setting off, Shen Yu reminded Shuang Xu: "It will be cold at night, bring a hat."

Shuang Xu used to go hiking and camping with him many times. Shen Yu was a very caring brother. She never had to worry about anything because he was there for her.

Fortunately, she had made sufficient preparations before coming and put the beanie in her backpack.

The climbing team formed a column, and she originally followed behind Shen Yu and Lu Manman.

Lu Manman probably didn't exercise often, so she started to complain of being tired after walking for a while. Shen Yu took her bag, which was not heavy to begin with, and turned back to reach out to Shuang Xu.

Shuang Xu shook his head and said, "No, brother, I'm not tired."

As they continued to climb, the twins shouted, "Manman, let us take a picture of you." They squeezed past Shuangxu and walked in front of her.

Shuang Xu made way and waited for the sisters to pass by. Then they saw He Tingzhou walking slowly behind them.

He held a DV and took pictures of the scenery as he walked.

It was evening, and the sun was hiding behind the mountain. We followed the sunset all the way, stopping and walking, and the scenery was beautiful.

As we climbed the mountain, the temperature got lower and lower, especially when we passed the mountain stream. The air humidity increased and the water brought coolness. Even wearing a coat, we felt a little cold.

Shuang Xu took out his hat and put it on, then followed the people in front of him and stepped on the stones to cross the river.

The last step was a bit high, and Yue Zifeng in front turned around to help her: "Come on, slow down."

Shuang Xu took his hand and stepped on the stones to gain leverage.

He Tingzhou walked behind her, his eyes slowly sliding over their hands.

After going up, Yue Zifeng let go. Someone in front called him and he responded and went over.

Shuang Xu was about to continue walking forward when He Tingzhou called out from behind, "Little Yellow Hat, help me up."

Shuang Xu looked back at him, then looked at the other people in front of him, and realized that he was calling him.

Well, her hat is yellow.

This height is a bit difficult for girls, but the man in front climbed up by himself, and no one asked for help. He is 1.88 meters tall, and it seems like his height is in vain.

But Shuang Xu was not so stingy. He was unwilling to help him even a little. He complained and stretched out his hand to him: "This stone is not even as long as your legs."

He Tingzhou held her slender, white, and clean fingers, which were soft and slightly cool.

When Shuang Xu tried hard to pull him up, he realized how naive he was.

She was nearly dragged down by He Tingzhou and took a step forward, just one step away from dying together with him.

At that moment her expression must have been filled with fear, but fortunately at the last moment He Tingzhou stepped up with his other leg and stood firmly on the ground.

Shuang Xu immediately let go of his hand, turned around and walked forward.

When they stopped to rest, it was already dark. He Tingzhou and Yue Zifeng stood on the edge of the cliff smoking.

Shuang Xu didn't go to Shen Yu. He sat on a stone in the corner to rest and listened to everyone chatting and joking.

Several girls who were wearing too little were huddled together and were freezing: "Why is it so cold on the mountain?"

"I told you to wear something thicker." Yue Zifeng said like an old mother whose child is disobedient. "There is a waterfall on this mountain. It will be even colder soon."

After all, he was very gentlemanly and took off his coat and gave it to them.

Zuo Zhong's coat was also given, but there was still a girl who was shivering with her arms crossed, looking at the man next to her.

He Tingzhou's bone structure is so superior. When viewed from the side, the lines of his brow arch and nose bridge rise and fall in a rhythmic manner, like the ups and downs of mountains in the distance.

Yue Zifeng said, "Master He, take off your clothes and give them to them."
