After praising Tian Yuan, Shi Xiaowen turned to look at Yun Mo and Ling Chuan who were sitting in the back row.

"Shao Mo, is your partner going to Badaling to do some work or something?"

"He went there for fun, climbing the Great Wall with us."

Shi Xiaowen was a little surprised, "Didn't the squad leader say that family members could be added?"

"He can play his game, and we can play ours. It won't affect anything."

“That’s right.”

Shi Xiaowen leaned her chin on the back of the car seat, obviously full of curiosity about Ling Chuan.

"Shao Mo, your boyfriend seems to have graduated. Which school is he from?"

Yun Mo could sense that after Shi Xiaowen finished asking the question, the people around her felt a little awkward and nervous.

She turned to Ling Chuan, smiled, and took the initiative to hold his big hand, wanting to give him comfort and strength in this way.

"He is now preparing to take the self-taught exam."

Shi Xiaowen was obviously surprised, "Oh, he didn't go to college?"

"Well, my family didn't have the conditions before."

"I see. Is Brother Ling working now? Which unit is he in? What does he do? Where is he from?"

Shi Xiaowen and Zhong Xiaochen have similar personalities, both are outgoing and cheerful, but they are also very different.

Although Zhong Xiaochen also likes to ask questions, he is sincere and frank, which does not make people feel disgusted.

But every question Shi Xiaowen asked was very inappropriate, and she was trying to find out about Yun Mo's family and background with a purpose.

The driver Tian Yuan was also a smart guy. He saw that Yun Mo didn't want to talk to Shi Xiaowen more, so he interrupted Shi Xiaowen with a smile.

"We are still a short distance from Badaling. You should all take a rest and conserve your energy so that you will have enough strength to climb the Great Wall later."

Yun Mo yawned immediately, "Second Uncle is right, I didn't sleep well last night, and I got up early this morning, so I'm so sleepy now. I want to sleep for a while, Xiaowen, you should sleep too."

"Oh, then go to sleep."

Yun Mo leaned her head on Lingchuan's shoulder, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and began to sleep.

Seeing that Yun Mo had fallen asleep, Shi Xiaowen wanted to continue chatting with Ling Chuan, but Ling Chuan turned his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shi Xiaowen had no choice but to turn her head back and started talking to Tian Yuan non-stop.

Tian Yuan responded with a few simple remarks, and then refused to say another word to Shi Xiaowen, saying that he did not want to disturb Yun Mo's rest in the back seat.

After being bored for a while, Shi Xiaowen leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Yun Mo was not actually asleep. After Shi Xiaowen calmed down, she quietly opened her eyes.

Almost at the moment she opened her eyes, Ling Chuan also opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other in silence.

Yun Mo's eyes were full of regret, while Ling Chuan's eyes were full of smiles.

Every minute and every second with his wife makes him feel particularly happy and joyful.

Yun Mo secretly made up her mind that next time, she would never let strangers hitchhike her.

At around 10 o'clock, Tian Yuan parked the car at the foot of the Badaling Great Wall.

Before getting off the bus, Shi Xiaowen took out the three dollars of fare she had prepared in advance and handed it to Tian Yuan.

"Uncle Tian, ​​I'm sorry to bother you today. Here's my taxi fare."

"Uncle, just accept it. Xiaowen is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. She will feel uncomfortable if you don't accept it."

Hearing Yun Mo say this, Tian Yuan immediately smiled and took the money, "Okay, I won't be polite, just have fun."

Yun Mo pretended not to notice Shi Xiaowen's unhappiness and smiled as she asked her to get out of the car.

"Let's get off the bus and meet up with the squad leader and the others. Don't keep everyone waiting for too long."

Shi Xiaowen could only get off the car with her bag on her back.

The squad leader and his team had just arrived two minutes ago and were counting the number of people and distributing small flags. When they saw Yun Mo and Shi Xiaowen, squad leader Wang Dan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are finally here. It is getting late. We are ready to set off."

"Yeah, okay."

Yun Mo took the small flag with the emblem of the Institute of Engineering printed on it from the class monitor, turned around and waved to Ling Chuan who was not far away, and then followed the other classmates to march towards the Great Wall.

Shi Xiaowen followed her step by step, "Shao Mo, how are you going to get home this afternoon?"

Yun Mo took out a sun hat and sun protection sleeves, put them on and replied casually: "I should take the bus with everyone else."

"Why don't you take a ride with your uncle?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"His working hours are uncertain. He may be earlier or later than us."

Shi Xiaowen wanted to say something, but another female classmate interrupted, "Shao Mo, your sleeves are really nice. They look breathable and sun-proof. Where did you buy them?"

Yun Mo turned around and talked to her female classmate, "I bought the fabric myself and asked a tailor to make it."

"No wonder."

The female classmate touched the ice sleeves on her arms and was amazed. "This material feels so comfortable, smooth and cool. What kind of material is this?"

"It's silk."

"No wonder, silk is expensive, right?"

"In fact, it's also good to use fine cotton cloth to make sun protection sleeves. The price will be cheaper."

"Okay, I see. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, other female classmates nearby also joined in the conversation and asked where Yunmo bought her sun hat and hiking shoes.

Yun Mo chatted with everyone as they walked, and soon Shi Xiaowen was left behind.

Looking at Yun Mo who was surrounded by everyone, Shi Xiaowen's face was full of depression and resentment.

At this time, a girl who was on good terms with Shi Xiaowen came up to her and said, "Xiaowen, I really envy you. You got a ride from Shao Mo's house and didn't have to squeeze into the bus with us. You don't know that I stood all the way and felt tired and bored. And I have to climb the Great Wall with them. This is not a place to have fun, it's just torture."

Thinking of the three dollars she had paid for the bus fare, Shi Xiaowen felt even more upset.

"Don't mention it. If I had known I would have taken the bus with you guys!"

"What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable in the ride?"

"What a bullshit ride! I paid for it and I paid three bucks. It's one buck more expensive than taking the bus!"

"So you have to pay for it. I thought it was free."

The man's look at Yun Mo's back inevitably had a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Riding a bicycle to and from school every day during this period has greatly improved Yun Mo's physical strength. In addition, she was well prepared, so she didn't feel tired even after walking for half an hour. The only drawback was that the sun was very strong and it was so hot that she sweated profusely.

When they arrived at the first enemy tower, many people stopped, including Yun Mo, who hid in the shadow of the tower to rest, wiped the sweat off her face, and drank water to replenish her strength.

After the others set off again, Yun Mo turned around and waved to Ling Chuan who was not far away.

When Lingchuan came over, she handed him her kettle.
