Mo Xuan let Leng Mo get into the car first, then got in himself. Mo Xuan told the driver the location, and the driver drove to the location sent by Director Li.
When the car came to a smooth stop at the foot of the mountain, Leng Mo began to worry. Everyone except her and Mo Xuan was carrying backpacks, indicating that Director Li was planning a hike. As soon as the two got out of the car, Director Li, holding a megaphone, announced, "After you reach the summit, you'll have lunch and rest there. The staff has already set up the tents. We'll begin our two-day, one-night trip to enjoy the mountain scenery! Let's go! Those who arrive first can choose their tents. There are five tents in total, two people per group. Let's draw lots!" At Director Li's command, the assistant director took out five different colored lines, holding them in the middle with both ends hanging down. The guests immediately understood. They all went over and each chose a line. The results of the draw were as follows: [Leng Mo and Mo Xuan are in one group...]
Shi Yu and Wang Feifei were in the same group.
Jing Feng and Qian Shasha are in the same group.
Wen Nai and Leng Jinchen are in a group.
Wen Ying and Huo Zun are in the same group!
"Now that everyone's group members have been drawn, let's head towards the summit!" Leng Mo and Mo Xuan glanced at their luggage, exchanged a helpless look, but thankfully, their suitcases were relatively small, and they pulled them up easily. They quickly climbed towards the summit, with the other groups keeping pace. Along the way, Leng Mo and Mo Xuan didn't exchange many words. Although they remained silent, the atmosphere between them wasn't awkward.
As they neared the summit, Mo Xuan noticed fine beads of sweat on Leng Mo's forehead and suggested they take a short rest. Leng Mo nodded and sat down on a nearby rock.
Mo Xuan took a bottle of water out of his backpack and handed it to Leng Mo. Leng Mo took the water and thanked him.
After a short rest, they continued their ascent to the summit. Finally, they reached it. Tents were neatly arranged on the open ground. Three tents had already been chosen, leaving only two. One looked tattered and small, while the other looked passable. Leng Mo quickly dragged his suitcase to the passable tent. Luckily, Leng Mo was quick; otherwise, he would have had to choose the tattered and small one. The last tent belonged to Wen Ying and Huo Zun, who hadn't yet arrived. Because Wen Ying was wearing high heels, Huo Zun had to stop and start along the way, waiting for her.
After putting her luggage away, Leng Mo went straight into the tent; she was utterly exhausted. Mo Xuan smiled slightly at her actions and followed her into the tent.
"Let's rest for a bit first, and then go out and take a look later," Mo Xuan said.
Leng Mo nodded and closed her eyes. She fell asleep soon after. Mo Xuan sat quietly beside her, watching her sleeping face, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Just then, a commotion arose outside. Mo Xuan went out of the tent to investigate and found that Wen Ying and Huo Zun had arrived. They were arguing about choosing the remaining dilapidated tent.
Mo Xuan glanced at them, then at his own and Leng Mo's tent, and made a decision. He walked over to Wen Ying and Huo Zun and said, "You two use our tent; we'll use the smaller one."
Wen Ying and Huo Zun looked at Mo Xuan with some surprise, then smiled gratefully.
"Why did you do this?" Leng Mo asked.
"I don't want to see others unhappy. Besides, it's a matter of gentlemanly conduct, isn't it?" Mo Xuan said with a smile, though he was somewhat reluctant, but he still did as the system instructed.
