When Bi Qiaoan woke up, Shen Yanming also opened his eyes.
"What time did you get back last night?" Bi Qiaoan asked, her voice still carrying the lazy sweetness of someone just waking up.
"It's almost midnight, you were already fast asleep when I got back." Shen Yanming reached for his phone and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.
Without dawdling, the two got up, washed, and changed clothes. After they were ready, Bi Qiaoan noticed that the group chat was still quiet. "Is everyone sleeping in?"
So, Bi Qiaoan sent a message to the group chat, "Is everyone up? Why is it so quiet today?"
After waiting for two or three minutes, someone finally replied in the group.
Zhu Shiliang: I just woke up. I was a bit tired after driving all day yesterday. Ranran is also a light sleeper and didn't fall asleep until late at night. She hasn't woken up yet.
Ye Xiaoxiao: Haha, Xia Ran and I got up early. The free breakfast provided by the hotel today was super delicious. We had three-ingredient steamed buns, oat milk, fruit salad, and fried eggs.
Xia Ran: Yeah, Xiao Xiao and I are at the swimming pool right now, it's just the two of us, like we have the whole place to ourselves.
Yu Shui: You young people have such great energy. I'm an old man, I can't handle this kind of thing.
After a moment of silence, everyone hurled a single word at Yu Shui: Get lost!
Okay, it's the second day of the holiday, everyone needs to rest and adjust, so today is a free day.
Shen Yanming called Ji Kangyong and arranged to meet at the restaurant later.
The two of them had just gotten up, and when they arrived at the restaurant after getting ready, they found that all the dishes had already been served.
"Why are you two up so late too?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
"What, is that not allowed?" Li Zhaozhao retorted to Bi Qiaoan before saying, "I went to see a movie with everyone last night, and we stayed until after midnight."
"Fine!" Bi Qiaoan pouted. "I thought you guys would get up early like Ye Xiaoxiao and the others. You're all young people, so why is there such a big difference in how you behave?"
"You little brat, aren't you a young lady anymore?" Li Zhaozhao was amused by Bi Qiaoan's words and pretended to poke her forehead with his finger.
But as soon as he extended his finger, he was met with a cold glance from Shen Yanming. So, Li Zhaozhao awkwardly withdrew his finger, touched his nose, and said, "You're several years younger than me!"
"They got married, so you got married too?" Ji Kangyong said quietly, leaving Li Zhaozhao speechless.
"So what if you're married? Humph!" Li Zhaozhao picked up his chopsticks, channeling his anger into his appetite. He couldn't argue with the two of them, so eating was the more practical thing to do.
"That's impressive! If you're so capable, show us how to do it yourself!" Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow and placed a small plate of peeled shrimp meat next to Bi Qiaoan.
Well, they're all top-tier experts, I can't afford to mess with them!
After finishing their meal, the four of them went to the cinema together. They ate two buckets of popcorn, drank three bottles of soda, and watched a four-hour movie. After that, Li Zhaozhao asked a question that came from the depths of his soul: "Did we travel all this way just to watch a movie?"
Okay, okay, we're not just here to see a movie, we're here to eat too.
So, Shen Yanming made a reservation at a Western restaurant, and the four of them enjoyed a delicious meal. After resting for a while, they went to the indoor swimming pool and played for three hours.
Ah, the second day has passed just like that, and the most important part of this trip is about to begin.
That's right, the group chat exploded as soon as I woke up this morning.
Yu Shui: Hurry up, get up! Comrades, let's get out there and claim our spots!
Zhu Shiliang: What's with all that howling so early in the morning? It's woken people up.
Yu Shui: There are already quite a few people setting up tents on the lawn. Let's hurry up and grab a spot, or we'll only have the corners left.
Bi Qiaoan: It's only 8:30!
Ye Xiaoxiao: Indeed, some people have already set up tents on the lawn. It's the only place in the entire scenic area that has no obstructions. If we go too late, there might only be parking lots left.
Zhu Shiliang: Okay, let's go reserve a spot first. We'll talk about any activities after we've set up the tent.
So, a group of people went to the parking lot, took their tents out of their cars, and headed to the lawn area.
Looking from afar, sure enough, there were already dozens of tents of various colors on the lawn.
We chose a spot that hadn't been occupied yet. Those with tents pitched them first, while those without tents quickly went to the management office to register and get a free tent.
This place is in a good location, about 40 to 50 meters from the river and only a five-minute walk from the parking lot.
By the time they had all set up their tents, it was around ten o'clock.
Meanwhile, the temperature had risen, and tourists were bustling around.
People have a herd mentality; seeing others occupying territory, they can't sit still anymore, and sure enough, tents are pitched everywhere.
Afterwards, Zhu Shiliang took the young people to the upper reaches of the river for rafting.
The icy river water splashes on you, giving you a refreshing chill, and then evaporates quickly under the scorching sun. Only on such a hot day is this kind of game suitable.
Shen Yanming carried Bi Qiaoan, followed by Li Zhaozhao and Ji Kangyong, as well as a young couple they didn't know. The six of them rode a rubber boat downstream.
Surrounded by green mountains, under a vast sky, with bright sunshine and a swift current, the rafting trip is thrilling and exciting...
Oh my god, a rubber boat capsized up ahead...
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an acquaintance!
Bi Qiaoan panicked, "What should we do? That's Ya Ya's boat!"
"Sit still!" Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan down to prevent her from moving, while he and Ji Kangyong jumped into the water to help.
Six people fell into the water, but there were only two lifeguards. They were struggling to keep up and were almost in tears.
Seeing that someone was helping, the rafting guide immediately calmed down, righted the raft, and pulled the person who had fallen into the water up.
In fact, everyone who goes rafting wears a life jacket, so even if someone accidentally falls into the water, as long as they remain calm, they will not be in any danger.
However, when the body sinks into the water, most people will panic and be afraid, and will unconsciously struggle, easily getting injured by the stones at the bottom of the river, or choking on water while struggling.
After entering the water, Shen Yanming swam directly towards Zhu Ranran. The child was light and was quickly caught by Shen Yanming and brought to the surface.
After being rescued, Zhu Ranran clung tightly to Shen Yanming, refusing to let go. Left with no other option, Shen Yanming carried Zhu Ranran onto the rubber boat.
After Ji Kangyong went into the water, he didn't look closely and just picked up the nearest one. Only after pulling it out did he realize that it was Ya Ya, the one Bi Qiaoan had mentioned.
Ji Kangyong finally managed to pull Li Yueya onto the kayak, only to find the little girl pitifully clutching his clothes, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of dependence.
Unable to bear the barrage of gazes, Ji Kangyong could only pull Li Yueya's arm and sit down with her.
At this moment, Zhu Shiliang and his wife also climbed onto the rubber boat with the help of the escorts. The rubber boat was full, and the seven or eight-year-old girl and the woman in her thirties in the water could only climb onto the rubber boat where Bi Qiaoan was.
Seeing that the little girl's face was pale in the water, Bi Qiaoan reached out to pull her up. Unexpectedly, the little girl slapped Bi Qiaoan's arm hard and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Get away!"
"How dare you talk like that? Have you no manners? Someone was trying to help you out of kindness, and this is how you treat them?" Li Zhaozhao shouted, stepping in front of Bi Qiaoan to protect her from being bullied.
