Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the faces of the sleeping people.
Everyone slept exceptionally well, and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.
"ha……"
Stretching, Huo Jinning slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at the sun outside the window.
"Hey, why is the director being so kind today? He didn't wake us up?"
She rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself with some confusion.
Turning to look at Yang Yang on the bed next to her, she found that he had just woken up as well.
"I don't know, I just woke up too. I was probably exhausted yesterday, and the director took pity on us and let us sleep a little longer."
Yang Yang, still half asleep, climbed out of bed and started getting dressed as she spoke.
"Let's hurry up and pack up, and see what the director's plans are."
The two quickly got dressed and went to the courtyard.
The others also came out of their rooms one after another, washed up quickly, and sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast.
After they had finished eating, the director finally appeared.
"You are free to do whatever you want today. You can choose to go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery, or just rest in the yard."
Zheng Ming smiled and spoke in a very gentle tone.
"Wow, this is wonderful! I felt the scenery here was absolutely gorgeous when we went out yesterday! And that mountain over there, let's go out and take pictures today."
Zhao Luoyi excitedly suggested it, and the other girls all agreed.
Seeing this, the men had no choice but to nod in agreement.
So, the group went out for a trip in high spirits.
Songjiazhuang is nestled against a mountain. In the summer, the mountain peaks soar into the clouds, shrouded in mist, as if it were the place where the earth and the sky meet.
The mountains rise and fall, some steep and precipitous, others gentle and serene, each with its own unique shape, resembling a sculpture by nature.
The mountains are lush with trees and green grass, dotted with colorful wildflowers, adding vitality and life to the mountains.
“Come on, let’s take a picture here, then head to the top of the mountain,” Xu Shubai said when they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, sure." The others nodded in agreement.
So everyone stood in a row and posed for photos.
"Alright, let's go!"
However, after only an hour, some people couldn't take it anymore.
"I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't walk anymore," Huo Jinning said, panting.
"Me too, I'm so tired." Yang Yang sat down on the steps without caring about her image.
“You two just lack exercise,” Zhao Luoyi said, looking at the two of them.
Actually, Han Shiqi's feet were also a little sore, but she was older and had to pay attention to her image, so she could only grit her teeth and continue climbing.
But at this point, no one would notice her; everyone was just focused on resting.
"Should we take a break?" Zhao Luo asked.
"No need, this amount of exercise is nothing to me," Han Shiqi said defiantly.
"Let's rest for a while, I really can't walk anymore," Yang Yang said, sitting on the steps.
“Okay, let’s take a break then,” Zhao Luoyi said, standing to the side.
Han Shiqi took the opportunity to sit down and rub her ankle.
"How come you're tired so quickly?" A voice came from behind.
It turned out to be a group of young people, leaning on trekking poles and wearing hiking clothes, chatting and laughing as they walked by.
Seeing these young people, Han Shiqi couldn't help but sigh: It's so good to be young!
After saying that, they continued climbing the mountain.
"Let's go!" Huo Jinning felt much better after resting for a while and suggested that we could leave.
“Okay, let’s go!” Yang Yang agreed.
After a difficult journey, the group finally reached the summit. Looking down at the magnificent scenery below, they were filled with a sense of the greatness and wonder of nature.
Suddenly I felt that climbing this mountain was worth it.
But it exhausted the photographers, carrying such heavy cameras while maintaining stability to take good pictures.
Among the earlier group of young people, some recognized Chen Ge, Xu Shubai, Huo Zimo, and Xu Luoqing.
"Wow, it really is Xu Shubai!" a girl exclaimed excitedly.
"And Chen Ge too!" another boy screamed.
"And Huo Zimo and Xu Luoqing, I was watching their new drama yesterday, they have such great chemistry." Another girl said excitedly.
Several young people's eyes lit up, as if wolves had spotted meat.
"Can we take a picture together?" one of the girls asked cautiously.
"Of course," Chen Ge replied with a smile.
Afterwards, the group took a group photo together, and then took individual photos with each person before leaving satisfied.
"Wow, Huo Zimo and I took a picture together. They'll be so envious when we get back," a boy said proudly.
"Me too, and I even took a picture with them. I'm so happy," a girl said happily.
The group descended the mountain, chatting excitedly.
...
It's often said that going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is hard, and that's absolutely true.
During this hike, apart from Xu Luoqing and Zhao Luoyi, everyone else had to stop and rest several times on the way down.
When they returned to camp, exhausted and hungry, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Is it fun?" Zheng Ming asked deliberately.
"Director Zheng, we're all exhausted," Huo Zimo said, panting heavily.
"You young people just lack exercise. You'll get better after climbing mountains a few more times!" Zheng Ming said with a grin.
However, he was met with a moment of silence from Huo Zimo.
"There's a little surprise waiting for you all today, come in and take a look," Zheng Ming added.
