Chapter 66: The Right Eyelid Twitches

  Perhaps it was because of the previous series of events that were too oppressive, Xia Xixi couldn't wait to break free from the constraints of school and home, so she had an unusual enthusiasm for camping. She got up early to pack her things. It's really due to the good physical strength of young people that they can still be full of energy after staying up all night to review for exams the day before and getting up at dawn the next day.

  Summer is not a suitable season for mountain climbing, especially for Xia Xi who is particularly favored by mosquitoes. It's a very distressing thing for her. She specially wore long pants and put on a thin long-sleeved shirt outside the tank top. This kind of outfit will definitely be hot when climbing mountains, but it's better than being bitten by mosquitoes until she's red and swollen like a strawberry ice cream.

  The city belongs to a hilly terrain, with short mountains stretching around. The mountain they want to climb is called Fushan, which has an average elevation and lush vegetation, making it a popular spot for hiking and camping in the city of C.

  The sun had just risen, the eastern sky was filled with dawn clouds, and the west still retained some remnants of cool colors. The sunlight gradually spread over, and soon there was not a trace of darkness left in the sky.

  According to the previous agreement, everyone in the class had to pack their luggage early and gather at the foot of Mount Fushan. XiXi forgot to bring something and went back halfway, getting up early and gathering late. When she arrived, almost everyone was already there.

  Except for those classmates who live far away, almost all the classmates who live in the city came. XiXi roughly counted that there were more than 30 people, which exceeded half of the total number. For a class that rarely participates in group activities, it's really rare. She loves lively scenes, and the more people, the better.

  Just as she was calming down, Xia Xi Xi was called over by Liu Xuan and the other girls in her dormitory, "Quick, come draw a lottery."

  "What's with the drawing of lots?" XiXi was perplexed.

  "Teacher Xu's rules, drawing lots to decide the group, three people in a group competing in mountain climbing, the team that arrives first gets a reward, and the last three teams get punished."

  "It's decided by ranking, and when it's time for barbecue, each group will be given a certain amount of meat, which is related to the issue of warmth and hunger."

  While everyone was explaining to her in a flurry of voices, XiXi had already picked one from the few remaining small paper balls and opened it to find that it was a "C" written with a thick black marker.

  "Who is in Group C?" Zeng Yu helped her shout, and her loud voice once again successfully attracted everyone's attention.

  Tang Gongzi waved his chubby arm loudly and responded: "Over here, over here, Chen Yan and I are in Group C."

  Xixi's face immediately fell as soon as she heard this, and she said how her right eyelid had been twitching all the way, it turned out that the knot was here. She immediately responded: "No way! I demand to change groups!" She didn't want to be in a group with Chen Yan, this jinx, who would inevitably come up with even more tricks to mess with her on the road.

  "Why?" Tang Gongzi walked up to her with three swaying steps, his face full of puzzled inquiry.

  To avoid gossip from others, she naturally couldn't say that she didn't want to be in the same group as Chen Yan. Her mind racing quickly, she soon came up with a countermeasure. "Tang Tiancheng, I'd rather not be in the same group as you. You're slow and eat too much. If I'm in the same group as you, won't I starve to death?"

  "It won't, it won't, how can I starve you, if you're not full, come and gnaw on me." Tang Gongzi wasn't annoyed at all, instead he stretched out his arm in front of her, with a magnanimous expression that seemed to say "go ahead and bite".

  "It's all fat." Xi Xi gave him a nauseated look, "I can't take it, let's leave it for Mao Feng instead."

  "You've already said so much, and you still want to switch teams? Isn't that too heartless?" Tang Gongzi was indeed a master of endurance, remaining unflappable despite Xia Xi's scolding.

  Her heavy fist was like hitting a cotton ball, and it was dissolved by Tang Gongzi's few words.

  "Are you annoyed that I'm getting in the way and want to pair up with Chen Yan alone?" Tang Gongzi was not someone who could swallow his anger, but Xia Xi's words didn't quite hit his sore spot. As soon as he opened his mouth, he struck a nerve.

  "Go die!" Xi Xi shouted angrily, and then she had no more moves. In order not to let people see her nervousness, she had to accept this grouping result.

  My right eyelid is twitching; something bad is bound to happen.

  Xu Mufeng saw that everyone had arrived, so he gathered everyone together to emphasize the key points. He wore a sporty outfit and stood with his back to the morning sun, speaking eloquently, exuding refinement as well as a few touches of youthfulness and vitality.

  Each group received a tent and was responsible for carrying it to the top of the mountain. Tang Gongzi's face lit up with excitement as he poked Xi Xi: "Won't we be resting in separate tents at night?"?

  "You're dreaming!" Xia Xi gritted her teeth and gave him a punch, her gaze piercing through Tang Gongzi's exaggerated screaming face, sweeping to Chen Yan beside him, seeing that he was looking at her with great interest, hastily lowered her head. After thinking for a moment, she felt that this wasn't right, why should she look like she was afraid of him? Immediately lifting her head, she shot over with an extremely sharp gaze, but he had already turned his head to the side and was no longer looking at her.

  Suddenly, she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she knew that this journey would not be calm.

  As soon as the order was given, each team set off eagerly. At this time, the sun had just risen, and the morning light brought a coolness that passed through the intertwined branches and leaves, shining on people's bodies, making them feel slightly warm. The mist had gradually dispersed, and all things in the mountains were thriving.

  Chen Yan, carrying a tent on his back, led the way forward, brushing aside flowers and willows as he went. He was taciturn all along the way. Xia Xi followed closely behind him, several steps away. As for Tang Gongzi, he seemed completely unaware that this was a competition. With camera in hand, he was enthusiastically taking pictures of the newly awakened wildflowers in the mountains.

  Chen Yan and Xia Xi would occasionally stop to wait for him, sometimes even helping him take photos with various unknown flowers and grasses. Unbeknownst to them, they had fallen behind other teams, which made the two competitive people feel strongly dissatisfied.

  "Hey, we're in a competition here, can you stop getting distracted by the scenery?"

  "You, who neither know how to enjoy life nor understand the art of photography, what's the hurry? The scenery on the mountain is so beautiful in the morning, can't it evoke your longing for nature?" Tang Gongzi said as he aimed his lens at a small white flower blooming by the roadside and snapped its image with a click.

  "What photography art, isn't it just taking close-ups of flowers and grass? Are you leaving or not, if not we'll leave first." Xi Xi glanced at her mouth, facing the even more incomprehensible Tang Gongzi, she unconsciously put herself and Chen Yan in the same camp.

  "Never mind, never mind, you all go ahead first, anyway, as long as one person from each group reaches the top first, it's considered a success." Tang Gongzi waved his hand impatiently, indicating that they didn't need to worry about him.

  Xi Xi and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, then turned around and left.

  The sentimental young master of the Tang family watched as the two quickly walked away and sighed with a bitter expression: "You really left, huh?"
