Luo Shimiao screamed inwardly, "Damn it! Don't come in!" She quickly burrowed into the covers, hugging Gu Nian tightly and curling up as much as possible to prevent the staff from noticing that there was another person in the bed.
One second Gu Nian had a gloomy face, the next second the dark clouds dispersed and spring flowers bloomed.
Gu Nian looked at the staff member carrying breakfast and said, "Good morning, thank you for your hard work."
The staff member was flattered and quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."
She placed the breakfast and task card on the table, turned to leave, but halfway there, she suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, Teacher Gu, do you know where Teacher Luo went? Her room is open, but she's not in there."
Luo Shimiao, lying in bed, felt a sudden jolt.
Feeling the hand on her waist tighten, Gu Nian said calmly, "She probably went for her morning run."
The staff member nodded, "That should be it."
Hearing the door close, Luo Shimiao sat up abruptly; she felt suffocated.
"Weren't we discovered?"
"No."
"Phew~" Luo Shimiao patted her chest, she was scared to death, she was now in a situation where she could never clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Luo Shimiao got out of bed and picked up the task card on the table: "Checking in at the sunset and sunrise of Qingxia Mountain, doesn't that mean we have to spend the night on the mountain?"
Gu Nian threw off the covers and got out of bed, taking out a pair of disposable slippers from the bedside table.
"Put them on."
"oh oh"
After putting on her slippers, Luo Shimiao didn't dare linger for long. She picked up her pajamas from the chair, opened the door a crack, and only dared to go out after confirming that no one was outside. She then rushed back into her room like lightning.
The production team arranged a minibus, and each couple sat side by side on the bus.
Lan Xinyue opened her phone and searched for Qingxia Mountain on Baidu: "Wow, the scenery up there is so beautiful! If you're lucky, you can even see a sea of clouds."
We arrived at the foot of the mountain at 10 a.m. The food at the top was simple, so everyone decided to have breakfast before going up.
After finishing our meal, we went to take the cable car up the mountain, only to be told that the cable car was malfunctioning and under repair.
Lan Xinyue: "NO! I don't want to climb mountains!"
Seeing Lan Xinyue's tearful expression, Luo Shimiao patted her shoulder and said, "Just consider it exercise."
An hour later, apart from Gu Nian and Luo Shimiao, everyone else was panting heavily and had to rest every now and then.
Luo Shimiao recalled what Cao Lu had said that day, stretched, and said, "It's so good to be young, full of energy. Don't you think so, Actress Cao?"
Cao Lu glanced at Luo Shimiao, tossed aside her hiking stick, and looked up as she climbed.
"Pfft~" She laughed as she looked at Cao Lu's slightly trembling legs.
He continued, speaking to her retreating figure, "Actress Cao, I suggest you don't walk so fast. As you get older, you're more prone to osteoporosis, and you're more likely to break bones if you fall."
Hearing this, Cao Lu walked even faster, as if she had drunk a sports drink.
Luo Shimiao skipped and hopped along the way, asking Gu Nian to take pictures of any beautiful scenery she encountered.
Gu Nian looked at the girl whose face showed no signs of fatigue and was somewhat surprised by her physical strength.
"Are you wondering why I'm so fit when I don't usually exercise?" Luo Shimiao saw through Gu Nian's thoughts.
Behind her, Lan Xinyue, leaning on two hiking sticks, said weakly, "I want to know too."
Luo Shimiao raised her chin: "I've won a marathon, climbing a small hill is as easy as drinking water for me."
Lan Xinyue: "Awesome!"
After saying that, he knelt down, but Luo Shimiao quickly helped him up: "Even if you admire me, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Lan Xinyue: "My legs went weak and I couldn't hold on."
Luo Shimiao: "............"
"Let's take a break, I really can't walk anymore."
Luo Shimiao looked at Lan Xinyue, who was limp as a puddle of mud, sighed, and squatted down, saying, "Come on up."
"Huh?" Staring blankly at the slender back in front of her, the goddess Miao Miao was going to carry her.
Luo Shimiao: "Hurry up and get up here. Are you exhausted? Can't you understand human speech?"
Lan Xinyue blushed slightly: "No, no need, I'm very heavy."
"Come up when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense," Luo Shimiao said fiercely as she turned around.
Lan Xinyue hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto Luo Shimiao's back: "Goddess Miaomiao, if you feel tired, you must put me down."
Luo Shimiao did not answer her.
Gu Nian walked over and said, "Miao Miao, I'll carry her on my back."
Luo Shimiao felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that Gu Nian was concerned about her.
"Don't worry, I can do it. You can carry me when I get tired."
Lan Xinyue was so moved she almost cried: "Goddess Miaomiao, you're so kind, sob sob."
Luo Shimiao looked at the mountaintop and said casually, "I said I'd protect you, and I will."

—【Hmph, what a stubborn woman.】
——【Sobbing, I'm so touched by Luo Shimiao】
—【I knew I didn't choose the wrong person to support, Luo Shimiao is forever a god!】
"I'm sorry, Xinyue, I'm useless. I can't carry you. I'll definitely train hard when we get back," Zhou Yang said, panting as he caught up.
"Brother Zhou Yang, it's not your fault, it's just that I'm physically weak."
Hearing their conversation from behind, Cao Lu looked at the tall and upright figure, gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, walked to Gu Nian's side, and said in a coquettish tone, "Teacher Gu, I can't walk anymore either, can you carry me?"
Cao Lu rested her hands on her knees, bit her lower lip, her eyes red, and looked at Gu Nian pitifully.
An ordinary man might not be able to resist a beautiful woman's coquettishness, but Gu Nian is a man whose defining characteristic is aloofness.
He glanced at Cao Lu with a cold, emotionless look and said, "You think you're worthy?" Then he walked right past Cao Lu.
Cao Lu burst into tears instantly: "Why is everyone targeting me? I didn't do anything wrong."

— "Yes, you didn't do anything. You just acted like a big shot, looked down on people, and were just being sarcastic and mean. You didn't do anything."
"—I'm embarrassed for her, not her. Anyone with eyes can see that the richest man, Gu, doesn't want to talk to her, yet she's still clinging to him."
— [From a neutral observer to a hater: Cao Lu's actions these past two days have been utterly appalling!]
When they were about 500 meters from the summit, Luo Shimiao put Lan Xinyue down, supporting his back, and said, "You can walk the rest yourself."
"Thank you, Goddess Miaomiao." Lan Xinyue pouted and kissed Luo Shimiao's cheek.
She kissed nothing but air, her resentful gaze falling on Gu Nian. "Teacher Gu is so stingy! He won't even give me a kiss."
Luo Shimiao coughed and left Gu Nian's embrace.
It took more than three hours for everyone to finally reach the top of the mountain.
The production team was incredibly generous; they booked both of the only presidential suites on the mountaintop.
The presidential suite has four rooms: Luo Shimiao and Lan Xinyue share one room, Gu Nian shares one room, Zhang Kailun and Zhou Yang share one room, and Cao Lu shares one room.
