A few days later, the fact that Huo Jiangliu's leg had healed no longer aroused the curiosity of his classmates, and most of them were just surprised for a moment before forgetting about it.
Because the daily study tasks are already overwhelming for all senior high school students, they have no time to care about anything outside of their studies.
Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu both put in their best effort to study, putting everything else out of their minds.
Mu Wenxi, in particular, was determined to earn those few thousand yuan. She would finish her schoolwork from Monday to Friday and then have her teachers tutor her on weekends. She felt that she should take advantage of such a good opportunity, especially since Huo Jiangliu was the main culprit and she was just an afterthought.
But she didn't realize that the tutor had already made her his primary tutor.
Huo Jiangliu knew Mu Wenxi's grades very well and knew that she had not yet reached her full potential, so he encouraged her every day.
"Don't forget the bonus."
"Understood, Young Master Huo."
"Take a break now and then."
"Yes, Young Master Huo."
Add to that the delicious food and care from Aunt Zhou late at night, and Mu Wenxi won't stop until she's completely exhausted from learning.
Qi Yang, on the other hand, had given up on himself. He wasn't worried about his grades at all. If they were bad, so be it. He could always go back and inherit the family business. He was just afraid of his father getting a beating. The house was always in chaos.
Qi's father: "Why are you at the bottom again?"
Qi Yang: "Dad, look carefully, there's a difference between counting down 100 and counting down 200."
Qi's father: "You're still trying to argue. What difference does it make? It's all counted from the bottom."
Fortunately, under the influence of Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu, Qi Yang's grades have improved a lot, and he is no longer at the bottom of the class. He can still get into a less prestigious university.
The Bei family was filled with gloom. Sometimes when business was slightly bad, Bei's father would fear that the Huo family would retaliate against them. But the Huo family didn't have time for that. These small fry were not worth their time.
If someone hadn't spread rumors that Huo Jiangliu got into a car accident because of Bei Ying, the Huo family would never have paid attention to the Bei family.
In autumn, Class 9 held its last and only class activity for the senior year.
The students in the class discussed the location of their last activity with great enthusiasm. After a vote, they decided to climb the mountain together, spend the night on the mountain, and watch the sunrise the next day.
Not a single student in the class asked for leave, and all the students showed unprecedented excitement about going out to climb the mountain together to watch the sunrise.
"This is my first time seeing the sunrise."
"Watching the sunrise with all my classmates is an unforgettable experience."
"Let's go hiking."
The homeroom teacher and class monitor were in the classroom giving instructions on what to do during the trip.
"You can bring your own food for two to three meals, or you can form a group of 3-5 people to cook your own meals, but we will not provide any tools."
"Then we'll have to bring pots, bowls, chopsticks, and so on. And how will we start a fire?"
"You can bring disposable ones, which is convenient."
All the students were very excited and talked about the trip for several days in a row.
Huo Jiangliu, Mu Wenxi, and Qi Yang formed a group of three.
Huo Jiangliu: "You don't need to worry, Qi Yang and I will take care of it."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, by the way, do we need to bring a tent?"
Huo Jiangliu: "You don't need to. Qi Yang and I will each bring one. You can use mine, and Qi Yang and I will sleep together."
Qi Yang: "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about anything. Jiang Liu and I have experience, and we used to work together a lot."
Mu Wenxi's eyes sparkled: "Okay."
She's already starting to imagine herself hiking with all her bags and luggage.
The Huo residence.
Two days in advance, Mu Wenxi eagerly began packing her luggage, only to find that she didn't have a luggage bag.
Just as she was about to go find Huo Jiangliu, Aunt Zhou brought over her hiking backpack.
Mu Wenxi: "What a coincidence, Aunt Zhou, I was just about to go buy one, I need a hiking backpack."
Aunt Zhou: "Young Master asked Uncle Zhou to buy these for you. There are also some things that you might need that are already with Young Master. He told you not to worry."
Mu Wenxi: "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."
That way, she only needs to pack two sets of her own clothes and some water and snacks.
Huo Jiangliu had already noticed Mu Wenxi's excitement. This must be her first time going out with him. He leaned against the doorway and watched Mu Wenxi pack her things.
Occasionally, he would say, "I've already prepared this."
Finally, Mu Wenxi realized that if he didn't change his clothes, he only needed to bring one person with him.
"Let me help you with some of the burden; your leg is still healing."
Huo Jiangliu thought to himself that it had actually been almost four months, but Mu Wenxi’s concern made him feel very good, so he shared some of the lighter items with Mu Wenxi.
In the morning, the driver dropped the two off at the school gate.
Huo Jiangliu, carrying his own hiking backpack, even offered Mu Wenxi's: "Give it to me."
Before Mu Wenxi could even refuse, Huo Jiangliu had already taken her hiking backpack.
Well, it was worth all the time she pushed that wheelchair before.
The bus was already waiting at the school. Once everyone had arrived, they lined up to board.
Qi Yang and the other man got into the car first: "Hey, Wen Xi, do you want to ride with me?"
Mu Wenxi: "No need."
Qi Yang: "Then let's go together, Brother Huo."
Huo Jiangliu: "No need."
"snort".
Mu Wenxi walked to the back of the car and sat in the second-to-last row of two seats, and Huo Jiangliu followed suit.
Qi Yang thought about it and finally sat down behind the two of them, but he quickly regretted it.
In the car, Huo Jiangliu took out the snacks he had prepared and fed them to Mu Wenxi. Mu Wenxi fell asleep while eating. Huo Jiangliu was afraid that she would bump her head, so he moved her head to his shoulder. The two of them fell asleep leaning on each other.
Qi Yang, sitting in the back seat, was thoroughly fed up with the couple's affection. He wanted to speak several times but held back, knowing that this journey was destined to be a lonely one for him.
It took the bus more than two hours to reach the foot of the mountain, where everyone packed their belongings and began their ascent.
Mu Wenxi took the hiking poles that Huo Jiangliu handed him: "Let's go."
Huo Jiangliu originally wanted to carry Mu Wenxi's bag, but Mu Wenxi strongly stopped him.
Mu Wenxi: "I'm not a doll, I can handle this little weight."
But she soon miscalculated.
Halfway up the mountain, everyone started complaining about needing a rest, so the squad leader gave the order to rest on the spot.
When Mu Wenxi climbed up here, he was covered in sweat, his face was very red, and he was still panting a little.
She thought Huo Jiangliu, who should be the most tired, didn't feel anything at all; his breathing was steady as if he had just walked on flat ground.
Looking again, Qi Yang seemed unchanged.
"Do you two go hiking often?"
Qi Yang: "We used to go hiking together often, so this is nothing."
Before setting off again, Huo Jiangliu said to Mu Wenxi, "I'll carry your bag."
