Ch34 - Spring Excursion (2/2)
Chen Yekai began to laugh again. He closed his eyes and passed him a pack of snacks.
“You actually saved it?!” Yu Hao really wanted to delete it immediately.

“Found the audio from the college.” Chen Yekai said, “You can download it in the class’ group chat.”
A volcano instantly erupted in Yu Hao’s heart, you guys shared the song I sang in the class’ group chat?! And no one told me?! He searched around for half a day before he found his phone. Chen Yekai stretched a finger out and helped him scroll up the column of his class’ group chat’s shared documents.
Yu Hao wanted to get the monitor to quickly delete the file, yet he saw a message that Zhou Sheng sent him which popped up in the horizontal banner bar as a notification.
【Yo, you went to confess? Wish you all the best!】

Yu Hao, “!!!”
Chen Yekai, “……”
Yu Hao immediately felt like an exploding firework, yet Chen Yekai calmly slid the WeChat notification banner upwards so that it wouldn’t be in the way, then tapped on the audio and let Yu Hao download it so he could listen to it himself.

Yu Hao took a deep breath as he tried to calm down. Chen Yekai didn’t say anything else, and the two of them just continued sitting in their seats like this. Yu Hao began listening to the recording of《A Little Happiness》that he had sung that day, and the more he listened to it, the more he wanted to die. In the end, he had to hypnotise himself to forget it and forget Zhou Sheng’s WeChat message, then began to read the travel information for his destination — Mt. Tianqing.
After lunch, the bus reached the foot of Mt. Tianqing, and Zhou Sheng still looked like he hadn’t woken up even though he just ate lunch. Both his hands were stuffed in his pockets as he studied Yu Hao, who looked like he was on the brink of madness.
“I was right beside him!” Yu Hao said through gritted teeth, “He, saw, it!”
“Oh.” Zhou Sheng looked baffled, “Isn’t that good?”
Yu Hao said, “I don’t like him!”
Zhou Sheng mocked, “I thought you liked him though, let’s go let’s go, we can go explain it clearly to him, don’t worry too much about it ah~”
Yu Hao, “……”

Yu Hao almost died from anger. Chen Yekai had gone to buy tickets. Zhou Sheng was about to walk over when Yu Hao grabbed him and said, “Stop it!!”
Zhou Sheng chuckled with a ‘hehe’, then put his arm around Yu Hao’s neck and made him walk all over the place together. Yu Hao could smell Zhou Sheng’s scent, so he felt ill at ease and struggled to break free.
“Stop it stop it……”
Yu Hao felt extremely conflicted. It wasn’t easy for him to control himself, and he was afraid that if Zhou Sheng teases him again, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from wanting to stick close to him. He had already decided to keep a proper distance between them, so they shouldn’t be too intimate in front of others anymore.

Chen Yekai whistled from the front to signal to everyone that he had bought the tickets.
“We’ll reach midway up the mountain in an hour.” Chen Yekai distributed the meal, entrance and cable car tickets, “Once we reach it, you can use the meal tickets for a buffet there. After a half hour break, get to the peak in four hours before taking the cable car back down. We’ll be gathering here afterwards. If you can’t walk anymore, take the car, don’t force yourself. There are four paths that lead to the peak from the midpoint, everyone should take care of one another.”
After the students took their tickets, they hastily dispersed. A group of sports students were young andfilled with vitality but had nowhere to vent their energy, so it was as if Chen Yekai had just released a pack of mad dogs who immediately ran off and quickly disappeared from sight.

Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao walked at the back of the group. Yu Hao said, “You should walk in front ba.”
Zhou Sheng shouted, “Chen Laoshi——!”
Chen Yekai was currently speaking with a group of girls. When he heard him, he turned around. Yu Hao instantly sensed that something was amiss, but Zhou Sheng shouted again, “Yu Hao said that you——”
Yu Hao, “!!!”
“I didn’t say anything!” Yu Hao immediately shouted too.
Zhou Sheng changed his tune, “He said that you didn’t give him enough time! Psychology students aren’t as fit as the sports students! He’s afraid that he can’t get to the peak!”
Yu Hao held his forehead with one hand. Chen Yekai shielded his face and shouted back, “If you can’t climb up anymore, take the car! Calculate the time needed by yourselves. Don’t take pictures anymore……we’re setting off!”

Zhou Sheng smiled as he looked at Yu Hao. Yu Hao’s face darkened, Zhou Sheng said, “Let’s go, let’s go!”
Yu Hao felt depressed. He walked behind everyone else with Zhou Sheng.
“The sun’s great today.” Zhou Sheng stretched as he said. He saw Yu Hao in a daze after he finished taking some photos standing on a plank walkway, so he urged, “Let’s keep going?”
“I can’t.” Yu Hao said, “I’m not a sports student.”

Zhou Sheng gestured for Yu Hao to come over. He put his arm around Yu Hao and stretched out his hand with his phone to take a selfie, but people kept walking past them. Zhou Sheng was practically driven mad, “Can’t we even take a picture now?!”
“Forget it, the scenery is nicer at the top. Let’s take our photos there.” Yu Hao said.
As soon as the students left, the foot of the mountain became quiet again. Mt. Tianqing is a neglected scenic spot near Ying city. There usually weren’t many tourists around, but there were stone inscriptions engraved into the cliff that had been preserved since the Ming dynasty. At the entrance of the mountain, there was the inscription, “The sea of bitterness is boundless, repent and the shore will be at hand.” Beneath it there were stone sculptures that depicted a scene of struggling in a sea of bitterness.

Yu Hao thought, this stone inscription really was quite fitting for the scene, so he stopped and took a picture. Zhou Sheng had walked quite a distance in front of him, and would occasionally turn around to wait for him.
“Let’s go ah.” Zhou Sheng said.
Yu Hao thought, I need to somehow get Zhou Sheng to walk at the front, or else other people will start gossiping endlessly again. At the very least, they shouldn’t be together all the time today, but he didn’t know where Fu Liqun had disappeared to either.
“Are you angry?” Zhou Sheng suddenly sensed that something was up.
“No.” Yu Hao had long forgotten how he had used Chen Yekai to joke around with him, “I’m not fit enough, it’s tiring to hike up.”
“I’m always asking you to eat more, but you never listen to me.” Zhou Sheng slowed down.
The two of them caught up with Chen Yekai and four girls from one of the dormitories. Chen Yekai was holding a phone that belonged to god knows who while he knelt down on one knee. He was taking a group photo for them, angling the shot from the bottom because that it would make their legs seem longer.

They didn’t know when Fu Liqun appeared, but he was standing at one side watching them get their photo taken. All the girls in this dormitory were very beautiful, and everyone liked beautiful girls.
Yu Hao thought sympathetically, but Chen Yekai definitely doesn’t want to be with them right now. Perhaps, he just wanted to walk alone in peace and get some fresh air.
“They’re here.” Chen Yekai said to the girls, “Go ah.”
“Forget it.” A girl from the sports class who was taking the lead said, “Let the two of them stay together ba, don’t split them up.”

Yu Hao, “???”
Zhou Sheng, “……”
Chen Yekai said, “I’ll help you guys say it? Be brave. Come, Zhou Sheng, get over here!”
“Zhou Sheng!” One of the girls who looked really sweet said, “Walk with us bei.”

Now, it was Zhou Sheng’s turn to explode.
“I’m not going!” Zhou Sheng didn’t expect that Chen Yekai would retaliate so swiftly.
Fu Liqun said, “He’s thin-skinned, sorry.”
The girls began to laugh again. Zhou Sheng immediately felt embarrassed and stayed where he was, but he didn’t walk over.
“Go ba.” This time, Yu Hao was the one speaking, “Go ah.”
Yu Hao thought that this was a very good thing. After all, Zhou Sheng was straight, and he had always been a bit shy around girls. With his kind of personality, you needed to give him a little push.
Yet Zhou Sheng got angry and glanced at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao, “Zhou Sheng will take you guys up the mountain.” As he spoke, he patted Zhou Sheng.
“You don’t need to take us!” The other three girls said in succession, “Just take her!”
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng seriously. An irritated expression remained firmly on his features. Yu Hao leaned in and said, “I’ll walk behind you guys.”

Zhou Sheng didn’t go over, and the girls didn’t leave either. That girl was still waiting for Zhou Sheng, and after Chen Yekai saw that Zhou Sheng was put on a spot, he decided to let him off the hook and said, “What if we all go together?”
“Then I’ll wait for you guys at the buffet place ba.” Zhou Sheng finally relented.
Anyway, the buffet restaurant midway up the mountain was only half an hour on foot. Zhou Sheng took the girl away with a face full of reluctance. Chen Yekai was about to motion to Yu Hao when Fu Liqun fell behind the group a little and placed his arm around Yu Hao, “I’ll accompany you.” The two of them didn’t go forward, and looking at Fu Liqun, it seemed like he wanted to wait for Chen Yekai to leave before he and Yu Hao would follow along slowly.
Chen Yekai, “……”
Chen Yekai had wanted to take the chance to escape, but he didn’t expect that Yu Hao and Fu Liqun wouldn’t help him out of his predicament at all. In the end, he had to continue taking pictures for the girls and give up his struggle.
