"Wait, wait a minute. Let me finish reciting this paragraph." Bai Xilu stopped him hurriedly. She was reciting "Rainy Alley" by Dai Wangshu in Chinese.

"I suggest you memorize it tomorrow. Memorizing it too late will not be efficient. Memorizing it a few times is enough. Continue tomorrow and you will get twice the result with half the effort." I gave her a suggestion.

"Oh, then turn off the lights. It's time to go to bed." When Bai Xilu heard me say that, she thought it made sense, so she immediately closed the book and fell asleep.

Click, the lights went out. Only three mobile phones and a computer were left on in the dormitory.

Ding~ I received a WeChat message on my phone, it was from Xiaoling.

[Sister, my aunt said she was going to the movies tonight and hasn't come back yet. I'm a little scared.]

Watching a movie? I remember that my aunt doesn’t like watching movies. I’m afraid she’s going on a date again.

[Is the door locked?]

【It's locked.】

[Go to bed early. Hiding in the quilt is the perfect defense. The quilt can block all demons and monsters. ]

[Sister, you are so childish. I am already in the first grade of junior high school. ]

Puff, I spit out a mouthful of blood. This girl is becoming less and less cute.

[Good night, sister, aunt is back.] After a while, she sent another message.

【Good night. 】

……

The weekends in the first year of high school were relatively relaxing. We could go home after two classes on Saturday afternoon. This was the first weekend for everyone in the closed school system. In the last class, the students were already eager to go out, and they couldn't wait for the bell to ring.

The last class was taught by Teacher Song. She understood the students' impatience very well and did not arrange too many knowledge points in the class. She just reviewed the relevant knowledge of Newton's laws of motion from the previous semester and let us end the get out of class 5 minutes early.

There wasn’t much homework this week, and I didn’t want to bring too much stuff home, so I just randomly put a few books and homework into my schoolbag, and left everything else in my desk at school.

"What are you going to do on the weekend?" Tang Xin patted my shoulder.

"I haven't decided yet." I scratched my head and thought, "Maybe I'll just sleep in at home."

"Let's go hiking?" Tang Xin said with a smile, "Bai Xilu and Zhang Xueyan will go together."

"Hey, climbing a mountain. It's so tiring." I was reluctant in my heart, so just let me stay at home.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Everyone is going, it would be bad if you didn't go."

Finally, I succumbed to Tang Xin's temptation, was forced to give in, and agreed.

...

At 6 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, I was woken up by Tang Xin's phone call, urging me to get up and wash up. Half an hour later, her car stopped downstairs of my house. I got on her pirate ship in a daze while still half asleep.

This time Tang Xin asked the driver to drive an SUV marked GMC YUK or something. The car was very big, not ordinary big, and it was quite spacious inside. When I looked, the three little girls were already sitting inside, and I was the last one.

"Xiao Meng got up so late." After getting in the car, Tang Xin smiled and said sarcastically to me.

I looked hopeless and said, "Turn off the alarm clock when it goes off. I'm really a little sleepy."

"Hehehe, it turns out Li Xiaomeng is not the perfect goddess after all. She likes to sleep in." Zhang Xueyan said with a smile as she was sitting in the third row.

"I don't think I've ever said I'm a goddess or anything like that?" I rolled my eyes at her. "I really admire you guys. How come you're in such good spirits?"

"Yesterday...I went to bed early last night." Bai Xilu's cute voice floated over, very healing.

"Come, have breakfast, we have already eaten!" Tang Xin took out a box of puff cakes and a bottle of milk from the car refrigerator and handed them to me.

After saying thank you, I put the cool puff in my hand into my mouth. The sweet cream melted in my mouth instantly, gently caressing the taste buds on the tip of my tongue. Ah, it was so delicious and sweet. The life of the rich is so good. I ate a puff in one mouthful, four in my stomach, plus a bottle of fresh milk, and I was full in a moment.

"Is it delicious?" Tang Xin asked me.

"Delicious!" I blushed and nodded, only to find that the three girls had been staring at me for a long time.

"My mom made this. Isn't it amazing?" Zhang Xueyan said proudly. "I'll bring you more when you go to school next time."

"That's amazing, does your mother run a dessert shop?" I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hmm~ Business is pretty good, I'm often too busy to handle it. I'll take you guys over for a visit later."

"It's delicious, but I'm afraid of getting fat if I eat too much." Tang Xin looked down at her figure and said with some melancholy.

"Me too. I'm short to begin with, and I wouldn't look good if I gained weight." Bai Xilu nodded and followed suit.

Just like that, we came to the foot of the mountain we were about to climb, talking to each other. This mountain is one of the few national park-style tourist attractions in the suburbs that has been developed by the government and is open to the public for free. It is more than 400 meters above sea level, and it takes a normal person an hour to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Although it was not yet seven o'clock, the parking lot at the foot of the mountain was already mostly occupied. Tang Xin's car was so big that it needed two parking spaces to barely fit. Therefore, the old man in charge of the site even argued with Tang Xin's driver about the parking angle.

Of course, we didn’t need to worry about these things. The four of us got out of the car and ran straight up the mountain.

"Wait a minute, let's each get a bottle of water." Tang Xin turned back to the car and took out four bottles of Nongfu Spring from the trunk.

"Do you often go hiking?" I am the kind of person who is not very active. Since it was my first time hiking, I naturally didn't think too much about it.

"Not often. Sometimes I go hiking for physical training. My coach often suggests that I hike more often." Tang Xin smiled embarrassedly.

"Coach?" Zhang Xueyan asked curiously, "What coach?"

Chapter 2: Mountain Climbing ()

"Taekwondo. I learned it for a while when I was a kid."

"Oh! Taekwondo!" Bai Xilu became interested, her eyes sparkling, "Then Miss Tang Xin must be very good! She must be a good fighter?"

"No, I learned that in elementary school. I've forgotten it long ago. It's just physical exercise at best." Tang Xin waved her hand.

With a few words, the mountain climbing journey began.

Climbing a mountain is like boiling a frog in warm water. The first few steps of climbing a mountain don’t make people feel that tired, but slowly, the two feet don’t feel like their own. Even when I take a step, I can feel my legs trembling slightly.

When I looked up, the three people were already several steps away from me.

"Xiao Meng, hurry up, they are all falling down." Tang Xin shouted at me from the farthest point.

"No, my legs are numb." I looked up at her. She was wearing a short skirt today, and from my angle I could just see the bottom of her skirt. Unfortunately, she was wearing safety pants.

"Come and hold my hand!" Tang Xin walked up to me in two or three steps and took my hand.

Before I could react, she had already pulled me up. I have to say that although Tang Xin's hands were soft, they were quite strong, and it seemed easy for her to pull me up.

"Slow down, you're so tired." I felt a little reluctant. It was too torturous to carry such a burden up the mountain like this.

Tang Xin turned around and gave me a big smile, "It's not tiring, Xiao Meng just needs to pull it gently."

The morning sun shines on Tang Xin at this moment, emitting a golden glow, which is the perfect combination of youth and charm. Tang Xin's delicate face and flawless smile made my heart skip a beat.

I reacted, lowered my head immediately, and quickly followed. I was actually a little moved. I unconsciously tightened my hand holding Tang Xin's, a little afraid that she would suddenly let go.

At the beginning, we were still talking and laughing, but when we got to the middle of the mountain, it was obvious that we had already used up most of our energy. In addition, the September sun was so hot that it was unbearable at 7 or 8 o'clock. Although we had chosen a shady place to walk, we were still sweating profusely.

"Let's take a break." I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I saw a pavilion ahead where people could cool off, and immediately suggested it.

"Let's take a break! Let's." Bai Xilu's physical strength was not much better than mine. She put her hands on her hips, a mask of pain on her face.

So we all sat down, and when I felt it was still not comfortable enough, I simply lay down on the stone bench.

"Hey, hey, be careful not to catch a cold like this. This long stone bench is very cold." Zhang Xueyan immediately reminded me when she saw me like this.

"Just let me lie down for a while. It's better to catch a cold than to die of exhaustion." I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Come, let me rest my head on it." Tang Xin sat over, patted her thigh, and motioned for me to rest my head on it.

Is this a lap pillow?! I felt my face getting hot, but then I thought, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve seen everything I should have seen in the shower. It’s just a lap pillow! So I naturally rested my head on it.

It’s really comfortable, soft, and a little fragrant. It’s true that a beautiful girl’s lap pillow is the best.

"If you're tired, take a nap for ten minutes. We're only halfway to the top of the mountain." Tang Xin said gently.

After this set of actions, we really showed off to them.

"You two have such a good relationship." Bai Xilu said with a little envy, "I didn't have such good friends before."

"Hey, you have it now." Zhang Xueyan patted her thigh, "Do you want to lie down?"

"Tsk, no." Bai Xilu glanced at him and turned her head away.

"You just said 'tsk', didn't you?" Zhang Xueyan was obviously shocked and pretended to cry, "You are insulting me. Wuuwuwu"

"Ah, no, I..." Bai Xilu was a little flustered. Obviously, she didn't realize that Zhang Xueyan was pretending.

"Puchi, I won't tease you anymore." Zhang Xueyan saw the silly Bai Xilu and returned to normal, "By the way, Xiaobai. I've always wanted to ask you, and you just said it yourself, you're not a local, right?"

Bai Xilu was startled, then nodded slowly: "I'm from Hunan."

"Hunan?" Zhang Xueyan couldn't help but exclaimed, "So far? Why?"

"Due to work reasons, my parents work here."

"Is it a lot of inconveniences?" I also felt sorry for the little girl. No wonder she had been so quiet before.

"It's okay. I don't feel lonely anymore now that I have friends like you." The little girl is indeed much more cheerful than when she first entered school.

……

After chatting and resting for a quarter of an hour, we set out to continue our climb.

Because it is a national park, the mountain road is actually made of cement slabs and the second half of the road is flatter, so I still climbed to the top of the mountain holding Tang Xin's hand.

Although the top of the mountain is only 400 meters above sea level, because it is located in the hills of Jiangnan, the top of the mountain is high enough to overlook the entire city.

"It turns out that our urban area is not that big." Zhang Xueyan sighed as she looked at the city at the foot of the mountain.

"Hey, it's originally a county-level city." I said embarrassedly.

"Let's go over there and make a wish." Tang Xin took my hand and ran to the temple nearby.

There is a temple on the top of the mountain. It’s not big, but there are still many people coming to burn incense.

"Do you believe in Buddhism?" I asked her.

"I don't believe it, but my grandma does." Tang Xin said seriously, "I was actually raised by my grandparents since I was a child, and my grandma was very good to me. Although I don't believe it, if my grandma does, I will come to worship."

The four of us stood in front of the incense burner with our hands clasped together.
