Her actions certainly didn't escape Feng Xiaolai's sight. Her face flushed and she stammered, "I...I'm going to the bathroom."
Xia Xi turned her head to look at her: "Didn't you just come out from inside?"
Feng Xiaolai rubbed his head: "...Oh, yes, yes."
Taking advantage of the good weather, we discussed in the group and put into practice the unfinished plan from yesterday. We will leave tomorrow, and we don’t know when we will come back next time, so we must leave without any regrets.
When asked about Xu Yanfeng, he didn't say anything. He was busy sending a private message to Xia Xi: "Are you asleep?"
Xia Xi put on some simple makeup, put down her lipstick, picked up the phone on the table and replied to the message: "No. Isn't the group discussing going hiking and barbecue again?" Feng Xiaolai had just read it to her.
Xu Yanfeng told her, "If you don't want to go, you can stay in the B&B and rest." She was so sleepy that she banged her head against the glass in the car, so why was she still thinking about hiking and barbecue?
Xia Xi didn't want to be special: "I don't feel very sleepy now."
Xu Yanfeng confirmed with her again and again, and she said she was completely OK. Only then did he give a reply in the group and set off in twenty minutes.
This time everyone checked their belongings before going out to prevent anything from being lost again.
The owner of the B&B personally sent them out and repeatedly reminded them to try to find an open and flat area when barbecuing and to avoid using open flames.
Cheng Manyi got caught in the rain yesterday and caught a cold today. She was wearing a black sun-protection jacket and coughed twice with every step she took. She looked listless and had neither the energy nor the courage to show up in front of Xu Yanfeng again.
What he said to her yesterday wasn't harsh, but it made her feel like a slap in the face and shattered her self-confidence.
Zhou Xiaoyu stole a few glances at her, secretly laughing at her uselessness. She had hoped that she would cause trouble for Xia Xi, but she didn't expect her to be defeated so quickly. She was just a paper tiger.
The group reached the top of the mountain. The tent they had set up yesterday was still standing there. The raindrops on it were evaporated by the sun, and the air was filled with the pleasant fragrance of grass and trees, which was more refreshing than yesterday.
Xu Yanfeng took Xia Xi's hand and led her to their orange tent, which was covered with an inflatable mattress. He took out a blanket from his backpack and said, "Go and have some sleep."
Xia Xi looked around. Boys and girls gathered together to assemble the barbecue grill, organize ingredients and seasonings, and cut fruit. "Everyone is busy. Would it be bad if I fell asleep?"
"No." Xu Yanfeng said as a matter of course, "I'll do your part of the work for you."
Xia Xi pursed her lips, a smile running out of her eyes: "You are so good to me, how can I repay you."
Xu Yanfeng frowned, not liking her using the word "repay," which sounded alien. But the next second, she took a step closer and whispered softly in his ear, "Why not..."
The voice at the back was even softer, and he had to hold his breath and listen carefully to hear what she said.
My heartbeat quickened instantly and my neck turned red, just like an allergic reaction.
