Chapter 77 Going Out
Early the next morning.
Yan Qing first went to Zhang Yuanyuan's house to pick her up, and then the two of them went to Yan Qing's house for dinner, while also helping An Jin move her luggage.
Zhang Yuanyuan, dressed in a pretty little dress and with delicate makeup on her face, peeked around the room as soon as she entered, asking Yan Qing where her luggage was.
Yan Qing changed her shoes, put down her keys, and said calmly, "I haven't packed my luggage yet."
Zhang Yuanyuan turned her head in confusion: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Yan Qing, accompanied by Zhang Yuanyuan, knocked on An Jin's door, saying as she did so, "She hasn't gotten up yet. Have you had breakfast?"
Zhang Yuanyuan nodded: "I've already eaten."
Yan Qing then said, "You wake her up, I'll go make her breakfast."
Hearing the noise inside, Zhang Yuanyuan nodded and said okay. When she turned around again, the door was opened, and An Jin, wearing a nightgown and yawning, stood in the doorway to greet her.
Good morning, Yuanyuan.
Zhang Yuanyuan glanced at the high-hanging sun outside, swallowed the food in her mouth—it was already ten o'clock, not early at all—and obediently replied, "Good morning!"
An Jin let Zhang Yuanyuan come out of the room, while she took her clothes to the bathroom to wash up.
Zhang Yuanyuan pushed An Jin's suitcase and travel bag, which she had packed the night before, into the living room.
"You're only going for three days, why are you bringing so much stuff?"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at An Jin's huge suitcase and asked Yan Qing in confusion.
Yan Qing took a sandwich out of the microwave and reminded Zhang Yuanyuan, "She still needs to take videos and photos."
Many of the clothes in An Jin's suitcase were clothes that viewers and her boss wanted to see her wear, not all of them were her personal clothes.
Zhang Yuanyuan said enviously, "That's great. I wish I could be like An Jin."
Yan Qing glanced at Zhang Yuanyuan and asked her softly, "Yesterday, A-Jin asked you about your studies. How are you doing?"
Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Really?! I'm doing pretty well; I've basically mastered all the dances the company teaches..."
Zhang Yuanyuan proceeded to demonstrate her learning achievements to Yan Qing.
An Jin pushed open the bathroom door and interrupted their conversation: "You really learned it? Show me how to do it."
Zhang Yuanyuan didn't hesitate at all and started dancing right in front of the two of them.
At this moment, An Jin's words were not merely the curiosity of a friend, but more of a senior live streamer's critique of a junior.
Zhang Yuanyuan's training these past few days has paid off; she's dancing quite well now.
An Jin took the sandwich from Yan Qing and commented while eating, "The dancing was alright, but it seemed to me that it was all in segments."
Zhang Yuanyuan: "The company only taught us one section."
An Jin swallowed the sandwich in her mouth: "This is for group broadcasting, right?"
Yan Qing nodded: "Yes."
An Jin thought for a moment and said, "The dance was pretty good. It's good enough to fool the fans in the early stages."
Zhang Yuanyuan reached out and grabbed one of An Jin's suitcases, pushing aside Yan Qing next to An Jin and said, "Really? An An, tell me in detail."
The two chattered away the whole way, and when they arrived at their destination, Yan Qing felt as if all she could hear was their voices.
"Have we arrived?"
An Jin got out of the car to stretch her arms and legs, looked at the surrounding mountains, opened the trunk, and took out her suitcases one by one.
Zhang Yuanyuan had never been to this place before, let alone heard of it.
She stood somewhat awkwardly beside An Jin, cautiously observing the luxurious manor gate not far away.
Yan Qing brought the two to a summer resort that offered a complete package of food, drinks, and entertainment. They could climb mountains or swim in rivers whenever they wanted, and the river shrimp and wild game at the resort were considered exceptional.
After doing live streams for a long time, An Jin has become a bit less concerned about money.
Compared to Zhang Yuanyuan's reserved demeanor, she was much more outgoing. When checking in, she grabbed a pretty receptionist and asked her question after question about what fun things there were to do in the area.
The receptionist was very kind; she took out a beautiful little booklet from the front desk and introduced the features of the resort bit by bit.
After checking in, Yan Qing handed An Jin and Zhang Yuanyuan their ID cards and asked An Jin in a calm tone.
Have you decided what to do for fun?
An Jin put down the booklet in her hand: "Let's go hiking first tomorrow, and then we can talk about other things after we've filmed the video."
Yan Qing agreed, and the three of them followed the villa staff who was leading the way out of the registration hall and along the road to the small villa that had been prepared for them.
Yan Qingding's villa is located halfway up the mountain. Standing on the second-floor balcony, you can see other villas hidden among the bushes and leaves on the left and right, as well as the river at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Zhang Yuanyuan had never stayed in such a nice place before. After choosing her room, she dragged her suitcase inside and then followed the sound to find An Jin and Yan Qing.
As she watched An Jin standing casually on the balcony, saying she was going to have a barbecue there that evening, her envy grew stronger and stronger.
————
The next morning, An Jin changed her clothes early, packed her outfit for the day, and prepared to go hiking.
Regarding mountain climbing, the Mountain Resort arranges local guides to lead the group. Every morning at 8:30, they gather in the lobby, climb the back mountain for three hours, have a picnic on the mountain, and then descend.
When An Jin and her group arrived at the hall, there were already seven or eight young people waiting there.
The guide was talking to the front desk. These seven or eight young people were scattered throughout the lobby lounge area. Some were sitting on the sofas, some were standing and playing on their phones, and every now and then they would look up and say a few words to their friends.
An Jin covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.
She usually gets up at 10 a.m., but she got up early today. Although she got enough sleep, her body wasn't used to it.
Zhang Yuanyuan glanced at the men and women in the lounge area and whispered to An Jin, "They're going hiking with us today, aren't they?"
An Jin glanced at the group of people. Regardless of gender, they were all dressed in sportswear and sneakers that allowed for easy movement, and some of the more ostentatious ones were even wearing windbreakers.
Compared to these people, An Jin and her two companions were dressed rather poorly.
Yan Qing was alright; he was dressed much like the others—sports shorts, a sports T-shirt, and a jacket tied around his waist—looking like he was going hiking.
Zhang Yuanyuan and An Jin's preparations were somewhat inadequate.
Both of them were wearing sneakers, but one was wearing a long dress that made movement difficult and had a bulging travel bag on her back.
The other one was even more outrageous, wearing a tight tank top and denim shorts, and holding nothing but her phone.
Anyone could tell at a glance who was the one making the decision in this team.
————
Pei Ning never expected that her first offline meeting with her favorite streamer would be at a summer resort.
He was lazily sitting on the sofa playing on his phone, waiting for the guests the resort staff mentioned would be going up the mountain together, but he never expected that the person he waited for would be An Jin.
An Jin is undeniably beautiful.
As soon as she entered the hall, almost all the men there, including Pei Ning, gasped in shock.
The two girls were a little slow to react while they were still talking, and only noticed An Jin and her group coming in later.
However, their reaction was also the strongest; they couldn't suppress their curiosity and immediately focused their gaze on An Jin.
That's just how the world is.
Men like to look at beautiful women, and women like to look at beautiful women even more.
If it weren't for Yan Qing being one of the three women, these two women might have gone up to An Jin and started talking to her directly.
That's the advantage of being female; they can always get the contact information of pretty women faster than men.
Everyone in the room was openly or secretly observing An Jin, but An Jin didn't notice.
She stood there for a while, and seeing Zhang Yuanyuan's head drooping lower and lower, she asked her in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
The lobby was very quiet. As soon as An Jin asked the question, three or four men from Pei Ning's group, who had been occupying the sofas in the rest area, immediately stood up.
One of the men even reached out to greet An Jin and her group.
"There are empty seats here, please come and sit down."
An Jin glanced at the empty sofa, then at the people around her, and said with a smile, "Thank you all."
As she spoke, she led Zhang Yuanyuan and Yan Qing over there.
"Take a break. I don't know when the hike will start. Why don't you put your bag down first?"
Since everyone was sitting together to rest, and they were all young people, it was normal for them to start exchanging names and chatting afterwards.
The two groups chatted enthusiastically until 8:30, when the guide, who spoke the local dialect, came over and gestured for everyone to follow him. Only then did everyone get up and end the social gathering.
There were only ten people on the mountain, mostly men. The two younger girls in Pei Ning's group probably got mixed up with An Jin and Zhang Yuanyuan because of their physical limitations.
They were traveling light, so they were quite puzzled to see An Jin and Zhang Yuanyuan exchanging backpacks as they climbed the mountain.
"There's food on the mountain. What did you bring in your bags? Aren't you tired?"
The slightly chubby girl among the two asked.
An Jin took the bag from Zhang Yuanyuan, refused Yan Qing's outstretched hand, slung the bag over her shoulder, and said breathlessly, "It's for my clothes."
The two girls started to understand.
"Are you going to take pictures in the mountains?"
An Jin nodded, and said with great pride, "Yes, I'm a news anchor, so I'll be filming footage after I get up the mountain."
The two girls who were trying to find out the information didn't expect An Jin to admit it so quickly, and their expressions didn't even have time to change.
Wow, you're a streamer! What's your platform called? Can I follow you?
An Jin smiled and accepted the envious looks from her two younger sisters, then declined, saying, "I'm a streamer, but don't follow me. I'm a game streamer, and you two probably don't play games normally."
The two younger sisters were eager to find out An Jin's live stream ID, so they quickly said, "Actually, we sometimes play games when we have free time. Just tell us your name! We'll send you gifts."
Upon hearing the word "gift," An Jin had an instinctive reaction and blurted out her platform and name in front of the two girls.
When the two girls looked up after searching on their phones, they were both utterly shocked.
There are many people who become live streamers these days. They originally thought An Jin was a small-time streamer, but they didn't expect An Jin to be such a big streamer.
With a million followers, one could be considered a top streamer in the eyes of most people.
"You're really amazing."
The two girls glanced at An Jin with envy. They had both worked in social media before, so they knew all too well how amazing An Jin was.
An Jin was pleased with the praise and chuckled, "I was just lucky."
The two girls smiled but remained silent.
If it's just luck, you might be popular for a while, but you can't be popular forever.
With millions of followers, An Jin is undoubtedly a big name in the self-media industry.
Ignoring An Jin's modesty, one of the girls kept her word and bought An Jin a one-month membership, changing the subject elsewhere.
"An'an, let's eat together when we get to the top of the mountain later."
Halfway up the mountain, the two girls started inviting An Jin and the others over.
An Jin didn't care about that; she was actually eager to spend more time with the two girls.
However, since she came with Yan Qing and Zhang Yuanyuan, she held back when the two girls asked.
"Let's talk about it when we get up on the mountain. I need to take photos first, and lunch will probably be quite late."
Zhang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard An Jin say that.
She's a bully at home, but she seems lively most of the time because she knows everyone around her.
When she arrived in the unfamiliar place, she immediately became listless.
not to mention.
Zhang Yuanyuan looked up and, taking the opportunity to wipe her sweat, glanced at Pei Ning and her group, who were keeping a distance of about fifty meters from them.
Given how expensive the resort is, Zhang Yuanyuan found the prices of all the resort's services in the bedside table drawer in the guest room last night.
Hiking itself isn't expensive; the expensive part is the picnic at the summit.
The picnic was buffet style, and the price was 599 per person, so it cost nearly 2,000 yuan for An Jin and her two friends.
The two girls meant they wanted to treat them to a meal, but as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do so."
Zhang Yuanyuan spent Hua Yanqing's and An Jin's money without a second thought, since one was her cousin with a shallow blood relation and the other was a familiar friend.
She always manages to find an opportunity to bring the two of them back.
But Zhang Yuanyuan really didn't dare to spend, nor did she want to spend, the money of this group of people.
Zhang Yuanyuan exchanged a glance with Yan Qing, who was walking at the back, and whispered, "Cousin, I don't want to eat with them."
She gets a stomachache when she eats with people she doesn't know well.
Yan Qing smiled and looked at An Jin, who was explaining to the two girls why she wasn't eating with them, and said in a low voice, "Your sister An An doesn't want to either."
The two exchanged a smile and continued climbing the mountain with light steps.
The temperature is low in the mountains.
After reaching the summit, An Jin was panting heavily. A gust of mountain wind blew in her face, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Zhang Yuanyuan rummaged through their bags and pulled out a thin sun-protective jacket and a scarf.
She and An Jin each took one of the jackets, which they wore as makeshift coats to at least block out some of the howling mountain winds.
As for Yan Qing, he has a bad temper, so he doesn't need a coat or anything like that.
We reached the top of the mountain.
The two groups naturally separated.
Zhang Yuanyuan and Yan Qing intentionally separated themselves from the other team. One felt that the other team was a bit too enthusiastic, while the other noticed the curiosity in the men's eyes towards An Jin.
