The campfire at night was filled with fiery enthusiasm, and Gao Shan finally understood the principle that many hands make light work and that everyone must do their best.
Realizing her mistake in her attitude, Gao Shan humbled herself and approached Lin Qianmo, bowing deeply and speaking with utmost sincerity:
"Instructor Lin, I'm sorry! I was being ignorant before, and I'm sorry you had to see that..."
Lin Qianmo was slightly taken aback by Gao Shan's apologetic attitude, then smiled and said, "It's okay. It's my first time camping, so it's inevitable that I'll make some small mistakes. I should be more careful next time."
Gao Shan, who was expecting a scolding from Lin Qianmo, was feeling down, but upon hearing Lin Qianmo's words, she immediately looked up happily: "Thank you, Instructor!"
Lin Qianmo smiled slightly, stood up, and said to the others who were still chatting and arguing, "Classmates, it's getting late, everyone should rest!"
“Instructor Lin, it’s dark now, but it’s not too late, is it? It’s at most around 8 o’clock. We can’t sleep at all!” Hu Yingying was the first to complain.
"Yes, Instructor Lin, we can't sleep this early!" Bai Zhi chimed in with a laugh.
"That's right!"
The others also started to jeer.
Hu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she looked at Lin Qianmo with a mischievous smile and said:
"Instructor Lin, how about you sing us a lullaby to help us fall asleep?"
"Haha, Instructor Lin, sing a song!"
"Instructor Lin, give us one!"
"Give me one!"
Everyone was immediately swayed, and Lin Qianmo's expression changed, becoming quite embarrassed:
"I...I can't sing..."
Whether it was the heat of the campfire or Lin Qianmo's own shyness, her face flushed, and her bashful expression was truly adorable!
Seeing Lin Qianmo's expression, everyone was stunned. Her youthful appearance was so innocent and cute, she looked like a teenage girl!
"Wow! Instructor Lin, tell me, did you lie about your age? How can you be so cute!" Hu Yingying boldly blurted out what was on her mind.
Lin Qianmo was caught off guard by Hu Yingying's "truth" and froze on the spot, momentarily panicking:
"I, I didn't..."
Seeing Lin Qianmo's flustered yet adorable appearance, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but jump up and shout:
"Ahhh! Instructor Lin, you're so cute! I've discovered how adorable you are the more you take off your uniform! You'd be absolutely adorable with long hair in pigtails!"
Everyone looked up at Lin Qianmo, and imagining her with pigtails, their eyes instantly sparkled with admiration.
Lin Qianmo looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She turned her gaze towards Cang Yue to ask for help, but to her surprise, Cang Yue glanced at her and then turned her head away directly, showing no intention of helping at all!
Seeing Cang Yue's dismissive expression, Lin Qianmo choked on her words:
"Did I offend her again? No, right?"
Before Lin Qianmo could refuse Hu Yingying and the others, a terrifying image flashed through her mind. She immediately stood up, her smile vanishing, and forced a forced smile at everyone:
"Um—you guys get ready to rest, we need to get back tomorrow. I'll go gather some more firewood..."
After saying that, he ignored everyone's astonished looks and questions, grabbed his flashlight, and hurriedly left.
Seeing Lin Qianmo run away, Hu Yingying laughed so hard she could hardly breathe:
"I never expected our Instructor Lin to be so funny! That expression on his face just now, like his secret had been exposed, was absolutely adorable!"
"Our Instructor Lin has finally been defeated! Hahaha!"
"Haha, if only I had a phone to capture her expression just now!"
"That's right! What a pity!"
—In their eyes, Lin Qianmo's behavior was more like an act of running away after being exposed for the truth.
But just as they said, Lin Qianmo's expression just now was indeed extremely cute! So much so that someone hid behind the crowd and saved the scene on their phone.
Seeing Lin Qianmo's shy expression frozen on the phone screen, Cang Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Lin Qianmo, if you dare to bully me again, I'll post your photos on Weibo so everyone can see them!"
Cang Yue was secretly pleased to have obtained the "magic weapon".
Not long after Lin Qianmo left, someone said they were tired, and then the women lay down one by one, using their backpacks as pillows to fall asleep near the campfire.
However, what no one noticed was the faint glow of a screen flickering in a deserted corner—
Just as everyone lay down to sleep, Lin Qianmo quickly returned to the path they had come from, only to find several fierce-looking wolves lurking around the log bridge.
"Luckily, my sixth sense gave me a warning, otherwise I might have really fallen into your ambush on the way back!"
Lin Qianmo squinted at the several skinny wolves in front of her.
"Roar..." The lead gray wolf growled at Lin Qianmo in a low voice.
"Those three beasts think they can stand in your way? They're really overestimating themselves!" Lin Qianmo sneered with a smirk.
Immediately, he stomped his foot hard, and two sharp blades emerged from the sides of his shoes, gleaming coldly in the night.
Lin Qianmo smiled and rushed towards them...

In the darkness, a faint glow emanated from the cigarette. After exhaling a few puffs, Qingshan angrily tossed the cigarette butt aside. Turning to look at the mountain before him, Qingshan couldn't help but purse his lips, then picked up his phone and dialed the only number in his contacts…
Beep beep beep...
