When Han Xiao helped Qin Shu to pick up the travel bag, she instantly felt her shoulders relax. She turned her head to look at the hand holding the travel bag. This was the difference between a man and a woman. A 50-pound bag was as easy as carrying a school bag for him.
She didnât expect Han Xiao to stop her from entering the mountain as she saw his serious look. Although what he said was very reasonable, she had to enter the mountain.
It was precisely because she wanted to enter the mountain that she refused to follow the man back to Jiangcheng.
âI know youâre thinking of my safety, but I have to enter the mountain. I have to.â
Seeing that Qin Shu was so determined to enter the mountain, Han Xiao pondered for a moment as if she had made a decision. âThen Iâll accompany you in. It doesnât matter if I attend university courses or not.â
Qin Shu was stunned. She didnât expect Han Xiao to accompany her in. She finally reacted after a long time. âYou had said it yourself. Itâs very dangerous. If you accompany me in, doesnât that mean...â
Before Qin Shu could finish her words, Han Xiao interrupted her. âI have wilderness survival experience. Take it as I am giving you a free wilderness survival course.â
Qin Shuâs eyes lit up when she heard that. Han Xiao had experience in the wilderness, so it was naturally a good thing if he would be able to accompany her in. It could avoid many unexpected things.
However...
She suggested, âWhy donât you charge me for the course? Iâll feel more at ease if you charge me. Ten times is also fine.â
Even though Han Xiao had a cold personality, he was amused by Qin Shuâs words. Her personality was similar to the little guyâs.
If he did not charge her, she definitely would not want him to accompany her.
He agreed, âOkay.â
Qin Shu smiled and urged Han Xiao when she saw him agreed, âThen go back and change your clothes. I heard from an old grandpa that the temperature in the mountains is low. Bring some thick clothes. Iâll wait for you here.â
Han Xiao carried the travel bag on her back and pulled it off her body. âDonât carry it anymore. Itâs very heavy.â As he spoke, he bent down and placed the travel bag on the ground. Then, he stood up straight and looked at Qin Shu. âWait for a while, Iâll be here soon.â
After Han Xiao finished his words, he turned around and went straight back to the dormitory to run.
Hua Wuyan was still sleeping when Han Xiao returned to the dormitory. He tidied up briefly and before he left, he said to Hua Wuyan, âIâll be out for a few days.â
Hua Wuyan was asleep and did not hear what Han Xiao said. He thought that he was out for a run and wanted to bring him breakfast, so he casually said yes.
Han Xiao heard the response, took the car keys, closed the door, and left.
When Han Xiao appeared in front of Qin Shu again, he was driving.
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment when she suddenly saw a car parked in front of her. As she saw that it was Han Xiao in the car, she felt that Han Xiao was very thoughtful. Initially, she wanted to hail a taxi at the school gate.
After Han Xiao got out of the car, he carried her travel bag into the car, his actions were swift and direct.
Qin Shu did not waste any time. She opened the passenger door and sat on the side.
Han Xiao was fast. After closing the back cover, he sat in the driverâs seat and drove away.
Qin Shu reminded him, âLetâs get some food and bring it with us. Who knows how many days it will take to enter the mountains.â
Han Xiao: âOkay.â
An hour after Han Xiao left, Hua Wuyan got up from the bed slowly. His long hair floated with his movements. His hair was very silky. It was not messy at all after a night. Even if he did not comb it, he could not tell that it was after sleeping.
Hua Wuyan glanced at the dormitory. He frowned as he did not see Han Xiao around. He picked up his phone at the bedside and looked at the time. It was already 8:30. At this time, Han Xiao should have come back from his run with his breakfast.
He dialed Han Xiaoâs phone in confusion and lay down again. After the call was picked up, he said lazily, âWhere are you? Where is my breakfast?â
Han Xiao was shopping for food before entering the mountain. When he heard Hua Wuyanâs lazy voice, he knew that he had just woken up.
âIâm outside. Iâll go back in a few days. You buy your own breakfast,â he answered concisely.
âWhat?â Hua Wuyan sat up from the bed and woke up instantly. âWhat are you doing? How many days are there? Why donât you tell me?â
Han Xiao said, âI told you before I left.â
âDid you?â Hua Wuyan tried hard to recall. When he was sleeping in a daze, he seemed to hear Han Xiao talking to him.
âThen tell me first. What are you doing? Even if you went on a date with a girl, it wouldnât take a few days, right?â
Han Xiaoâs voice turned colder. âSpeak properly.â
âAlright, It is only trustable if it was me who go on a date with a girl. If you can go on a date with a girl with your personality, then that would be weird.â
After Hua Wuyan was done talking, he asked seriously, âWhat exactly are you doing? Could it be that the old man forced you to get married suddenly?â
Han Xiao said, âNo, I accompanied Qin Shu into the mountains.â
â... I, you really went on a date with a girl. Did the sunrise from the west today?â Hua Wuyan could not help but look at the sun outside the window. âNo, it rose from the east.â
âShe wants to enter the deep mountains and forests. Itâs not safe. I happen to have experience in the wilderness, so Iâll teach her a lesson while Iâm at it,â Han Xiao explained patiently.
âI have been friends with you for so long, do you think that I donât know you well? Alright, whatâs she doing in the mountains? Even if sheâs traveling, she should go to a place thatâs managed by someone. How unsafe are the deep mountains and old forests?â
âI didnât ask. She has her reasons.â
Well...
Hua Wuyan understood thoroughly his personality.
He wonât ask if the person was not willing to tell him.
Just like when the little guy sneaked down the hill in the past, he didnât ask anything and just followed him down the hill.
Hua Wuyan hung up the phone. He faced a very serious problem that he had to buy his breakfast for these few days.

â (beeping)
Han Xiao put away the mobile phone, he chose some fast food such as compressed biscuits. Qin Shu chose some as well, both of them pay the bill together.
After paying, the two of them carried the convenience bags out of the supermarket. After they got in the car, they went straight to the mountain.
Qin Shu followed the direction that her grandfather pointed out. She remembered it very clearly due to all the obvious buildings.
However, what Qin Shu did not expect was that the journey was too far.
She thought that they would reach the side in at most half an hour.
In the end, the car drove for nearly two hours before they arrived.
On the way, Han Xiao asked twice if she remembered the wrong place.
Qin Shu answered with certainty, âNo.â
So he drove all the way. After two and a half hours, they were outside the suburbs and saw a very thick fog.
After the car drove in, it drove for about twenty minutes. The thick fog gradually faded, and a forest appeared in front of him. It was all forest at a glance.
Han Xiao was a little confused at first if he had gone to the wrong place, but when he saw the forest in front of him, he realized that Qin Shu didnât point him in the wrong direction.
At the same time, in Jiangcheng.
Bright Garden, in the master bedroom.
Gu Yan woke up early in the morning. After washing up, he went to the master bedroom immediately. He pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Fu Tingyu sitting on the bed smoking. His face was even paler than the night before, without a trace of blood.
