Chapter 12
The rest of the journey wasn't far, but it still took them a full hour and a half to reach the inn they'd arranged. They'd set out from the foot of the mountain at 10:30 and the ascent took about three hours. They'd camped at the top and had a quick snack for lunch. By the time they finally reached the inn, it was nearly five o'clock, and the sky was gradually darkening.
The first second they stepped into the room, Ren Qiaoyuan and Yan Yiyi both fell onto the bed.
"worn out…"
The bed was so soft that Ren Qiaoyuan felt sleepy.
"I'm overloaded. I've put all my exercise for half a semester into today." Yan Yiyi felt like fat was burning. As long as she could lose a few pounds on this trip, it would all be worth it.
Just when the two of them were dozing off, perhaps having fallen asleep for a few minutes, Ren Qiaoyuan was awakened by the vibration of her phone. It was a message from Xu Haoran, telling her to have dinner in the inn lobby. "Yi Yi, they said it's time for dinner."
"Well, I don't want to move. Can't we eat later?" Yan Yiyi didn't want to move her body away from the bed at all.
"They said that mealtimes are early in the mountains. After this time, the chef won't cook, and if you're late, there might be nothing left." Ren Qiao'an clearly conveyed their meaning and added, "You don't want to continue eating dry food at night, do you?"
"Ah! It hurts." Yan Yiyi was tired but also hungry! There were no restaurants or supermarkets on the mountain. If she missed this meal, she would have no place to make up for it.
So, the two of them got up slowly, wiped their faces casually, sobered up, and went to the hall to eat.
The four boys in the hall had already taken their seats. There were a few dishes scattered on the table. Yan Yiyi and Ren Qiao'an sat between Xu Haoran and Zhao Guofu. Zhao Guofu handed over the menu: "Take a look at what dishes you like. We'll add a few more."
Yan Yiyi waved her hand. "I'm not picky. You guys can decide. An'an, is there anything you want to eat?"
Ren Qiao'an noticed that there were already several of her favorite dishes on the table, and she was not picky about food. "No need, just order some more vegetarian dishes." Beef brisket with potatoes and stir-fried pork were Ren Qiao'an's favorites. The chopped pepper fish head and braised pork also looked delicious.
Finally, Tang Mu and Jin Xi, who arrived late, ordered the last four dishes: three vegetarian dishes and a soup. When Ren Qiao'an and Yan Yiyi saw Jin Xi and Tang Mu's fresh, beautiful faces, they both lowered their heads and sniffed their clothes in tacit understanding. Ugh, they were about to go bad!
Is this the difference between a delicate girl and a rough girl?
Others came out after taking a shower and changing clothes, but the two of them just wiped their faces and went out.
All in all, the dinner was delicious, probably because everyone was hungry. The dishes were commonplace in restaurants, but they were praised by everyone. Ren Qiao'an even thought the rice was particularly fragrant. With two stunning beauties sitting across from him, Ren Qiao'an had a good appetite!
After returning with a full load, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Someone had originally suggested playing games, but Zhao Guofu rejected it. He thought everyone was tired today, and they had to get up early tomorrow to visit the temple, go down the mountain, and finally rush back to school. They should rest early, and there would be plenty of opportunities to play games later.
After Yan Yiyi and Ren Qiao'an returned to their room, they just slumped over on the bed, playing with their phones and occasionally engaging in meaningless conversation.
Yan Yiyi asked: "What do you think of Xu Haoran?"
Ren Qiao'an replied: "He's a sunny boy, very good."
Yan Yiyi asked: "Do you like this type?"
Ren Qiaoan replied: "It's okay."
Yan Yiyi asked: "I feel like he likes you very much, wouldn't you consider it?"
Ren Qiaoan replied: "Stop it, I treat him as my eldest nephew, no, my younger brother."
Yan Yiyi asked again: "Tsk. So what do you think of Zhao Guofu?"
Ren Qiaoan replied and then asked, "That's fine. Are you interested in her?"
Yan Yiyi didn't deny it: "No way. There was a rumor in the academy before that he was pursuing Jinxi, but from what I saw today, he doesn't seem to be interested in Jinxi."
"Oh." Ren Qiao'an was not interested in college gossip.
Ren Qiaoan suddenly thought: "Is that Wang Xiaoer (the tall and thin boy) interested in you?"
"Uh, don't mention it. He stares at my sister's breasts lustfully all day long." Yan Yiyi doesn't want to be liked by such a pervert.
Ren Qiao'an objectively commented: "His eyes are quite small, and when he smiles he does look lustful."
"Not at all like him, he's nothing but a pervert." He followed Yan Yiyi all the way and wanted to touch her many times. If she hadn't restrained her temper in front of Zhao Guofu and Tang Mu, Yan Yiyi would have smashed Wang Xiaoer's head with a punch.
"Well, in comparison, your minister Zhao Guofu is pretty good, and his name is patriotic." Ren Qiao'an had a high overall evaluation of Zhao Guofu, saying he was gentle, elegant and graceful.
"How can that guy compare to our director? Senior Zhao is handsome, talented, and has a good character. He is a decent person and truly deserves to be called the college idol."
Ren Qiao'an offered perfunctory encouragement: "Then keep going."
"I..." Yan Yiyi has a good impression of Zhao Guofu, but if she really wants to pursue him, "Don't you think Tang Mu is a good match for him?"
Ren Qiao'an thought about the scene of the two of them standing together, "They are indeed a perfect match." However, Tang Mu and Jin Xi are also quite a match standing together, a beauty plus a beauty, it is pleasing to the eye.
Yan Yiyi wailed, "Ah, why are there always good women next to good men? Oh, God! Please send down a male god for me!"
"Stop howling and go take a shower." Ren Qiaoyuan urged Yan Yiyi to take a shower. Yan Yiyi's hair was very long, and it would probably take a while to wash and blow dry it.
After Ren Qiao'an finished enjoying the hot bath and stepped out of the bathroom steaming hot, Yan Yiyi had already blow-dried her hair, and Ren Qiao'an was able to use the hair dryer.
"An'an, An'an~" After taking a shower, Yan Yiyi lay lazily on the bed with her limbs facing the sky.
"Ah?" Ren Qiao'an stopped the hair dryer, wondering what Yan Yiyi was howling about.
In fact, Yan Yiyi had an idea, "Let's have a massage."
"Sure. Wait until I finish blow-drying my hair."
A few minutes later, Ren Qiaoyuan and Yan Yiyi were lying on the bed in various strange positions.
“Ah! Ah~ it hurts, it hurts!”
"Stop howling!" Ren Qiao'an was trying to help Yan Yiyi press down on her strong waist. She was almost sitting on Yan Yiyi's back. Besides, it was Yan Yiyi who suggested this action. "Hold on for a while."
"It's about to break, stop, stop! Change position!" Yan Yiyi slammed the bed with her palms, making a loud bang. She was wrong, she couldn't do this soft position.
"Lie down, I'll help you stretch your back." Ren Qiao'an got off Yan Yiyi and let her lie completely on the bed. Then he grabbed Yan Yiyi's hands, pressed one knee against Yan Yiyi's spine, and slowly pulled her back.
"Oh my! Okay, slower." Yan Yiyi expressed that she felt both pain and happiness.
After pulling a few times, Ren Qiao'an stood up and began to step lightly and heavily on Yan Yiyi's calf and thigh muscles with his feet.
"This is sour and refreshing! Great!"
"Keep going! Don't stop!"
At the same time, Jin Xi came to the door of Ren Qiao'an's room and was about to knock on the door, but she heard a faint sound of ecstasy, one higher than the other, and her raised hand paused.
"Knock! Knock!"
There was a very rhythmic knock on the door, which lasted several times before the person inside responded, "I'm coming, wait a moment." Ren Qiao'an jumped off the bed and ran to open the door.
When the door opened, a fair and beautiful face came into Ren Qiao'an's eyes, followed by Jin Xi's cold voice, "I'll give it back to you."
Ren Qiao'an stupidly took the clothes that Jin Xi handed over. It was her shirt. Ren Qiao'an had obviously forgotten about it. She didn't expect Jin Xi to specially send it to her. "Okay, actually, no need to..." Ren Qiao'an's words were not finished when she was interrupted by Yan Yiyi's shouting in the room, "An'an~ Come back quickly and continue!"
Jin Xi's gaze towards her immediately became strange. Ren Qiao'an scratched her head awkwardly, "Haha, we're having a massage."
"Really?" Jin Xi looked the person up and down. Her shoulder-length hair, slightly damp, was even curlier. Her pink floral nightgown made her complexion look exceptionally fair. Her chubby cheeks were flushed, as if she'd just finished a strenuous workout. "Ahhhhhh!" Yan Yiyi urged him again, and Ren Qiao'an, standing at the door, was at a loss for words.
"It seems that you have good skills." After saying this, Jin Xi left in a leisurely manner, so as not to disturb someone's massage.
“…”
What's that? Confused, Ren Qiao'an closed the door and went back to his massage.
After a bit of commotion, Yan Yiyi and Ren Qiao'an were both satisfied, lying on their respective beds, browsing their phones. Ren Qiao'an had just seen the message from Guiqulaixi.
Return: Did you have fun?
Leisurely seeing Nanshan: Happy~ Happy~ But my back aches and legs cramps [crying]
Return: You deserve it [laugh]
You Ran Jian Nan Shan: Oh, woman. You are happy to see me in pain, right? But there is a young lady giving me a massage [happy]

Leisurely seeing Nanshan: Haha, I can’t envy you, woman [laughing]
Guiqulaixi: I’m not envious. You have a young lady to massage me, and I also have a beautiful sister to accompany me [smile]
Go home and sleep.
Leisurely Seeing Nanshan: ...
You Ran Jian Nan Shan: Who slept with you?
Returning: ...
Go back: I won’t make trouble with you anymore.
Leisurely seeing Nanshan: Ahahahahaha [Victory]
You Ran Jian Nan Shan: How beautiful is this pretty girl? Is she the girl you mentioned you cared about before?
Guiqulaixie: The moon is so beautiful tonight.
Leisurely seeing Nanshan: Really?
She went to take a look, too. Ren Qiaoyuan scurried to the balcony and stuck her head out to look. The mountain night seemed to have a different kind of "quietness." Without the clamor of the crowd, replaced by the whispers of all things: the sound of wind, the rush of water, the chirping of birds, the croaking of frogs, the cackle of katydids... and the misty crescent moon hung faintly above the treetops.
After taking a long breath of fresh air, Ren Qiao'an raised her mobile phone and pressed the shutter button. The flash flashed her eyes. Ren Qiao'an subconsciously turned her head and happened to meet a pair of eyes. Only then did she realize that there was a person standing on the balcony on the left. The person seemed to have just noticed her. They both turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at each other.
The air flows quietly.
Ren Qiao'an forgot to react. At that moment, she was deeply attracted by those eyes, which contained surprise, sadness, and indescribable emotions... In the end, Jin Xi turned her head away first and left the balcony without a word. Ren Qiao'an was left alone in the wind, confused.
