The moon is round and the stars are twinkling. The sky is high and far away, yet it seems to be right in front of you. As long as you stretch out your hand, you can pick the brightest star and send it to your lover.
Jiang Qin stretched out his little hand, as if he wanted to pick a star, but his palms were empty. After all, there was still a long distance between ideal and reality.
Jiang Qin smiled bitterly. Yuan Lin looked at her profile and said, "Darling, are you unhappy? We have all stayed here. We live on the top of Xixia Mountain. We live in the same hotel as Fang Yan. We can see the night view of Xixia Mountain from the balcony. We can get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise with them. Darling, why are you still unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy, just a little bit disappointed," said Jiang Qin.
"Why?" Yuan Lin asked.
"I thought he and I would be a little different, but in fact, in his eyes, I am just like you, a student. Or, in other words, a child." Jiang Qin said. "I was very happy that he was willing to help call my mother. But when I think about it carefully, I feel very sad. The reason why he called my mother so calmly is because he has no selfish motives and feels that there is no close relationship between him and me. He believes in himself, and my mother also believes in him. They trust each other, and my feelings are irrelevant."
"Is that so?" Yuan Lin thought seriously, and it was exactly the same as Jiang Qin's thoughts. She smiled and said, "Dear, don't you think you think too much? We are still students. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Yeah. I think too much." Jiang Qin sighed. "But I can't help thinking."
"Why can't I think about it?"
"Because uncles are very popular." Jiang Qin said with some annoyance.
"That's right. I even want to snatch it from you." Yuan Lin said with a giggle.
"You dare." Jiang Qin threatened.
Then, the two girls burst into laughter.
The hotel is built on the edge of a cliff. Standing on the balcony gives you a feeling of being suspended in the air. You can enjoy the breeze from the mountain stream and the bright moon above your head. The beautiful scenery is worthy of the name of "Lanyue Hotel".
Boys and girls lived separately, two to a room. Because one student was absent, there were exactly twenty rooms for the forty students. Fang Yan opened another room for Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin. The two girls were quite stubborn and insisted on paying for their stay. Fang Yan knew that Yuan Lin was a wealthy woman, so he didn't argue with them too much about it.
Fang Yan lived in a room by himself, which was quite comfortable. He took a bath, sat on the balcony and made a cup of Longjing tea he brought with him. He enjoyed the breeze and the view, which was quite pleasant.
Dongdong-----
There was a knock on the door outside.
Fang Yan lived in Room 309. During dinner, he told all the students his room number and told them that if they encountered any problems, they must go to Room 309 to discuss it with him in time and never act on their own.
Since they were away and living in the mountains, Fang Yan, the only teacher leading the team, had to bear a huge responsibility. If anything happened to the students, he, as the teacher, would be held responsible.
Fang Yan walked over and opened the door, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Qin Yitian stood at the door with a smile on her face. She changed into a snow-white casual sportswear, probably because she had just taken a shower. Because the hotel was simple and did not provide a hair dryer for every customer, her hair was still a little damp, but still smooth and draped over her shoulders.
Fang Yan blocked the door and asked, "Student Qin Yitian, what's the matter?"
Qin Yitian looked at Fang Yan's actions, frowned slightly, and said, "Fang Yan, you don't want to let me in?"
"It's not that I don't want to - I'm just too tired today, so I'm going to rest. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise."
"You still don't want to let me in." Qin Yitian chuckled. "Fang Yan, what are you afraid of?"
"What?" Fang Yan said angrily, like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on: "What am I afraid of? What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Then why don't you let me in? I'm a student, you're my teacher, I came here to talk to you about something very important -- but you were scared and blocked the door. Fang Yan, are you guilty?"
Fang Yan could only step aside and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Yitian walked past Fang Yan and went straight to the rattan chair on the balcony and sat down. Seeing the steaming Longjing tea, he said, "It seems that you don't plan to go to bed so early."
"After drinking this cup of tea, go to sleep." Fang Yan said with an awkward smile. "I am used to drinking a cup of green tea before going to bed."
"What a coincidence. I have this habit too." Qin Yitian said.
Therefore, Fang Yan had no choice but to make another cup of Longjing tea and bring it to Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian lay limply in the rattan chair, admiring the undulating mountains in the distance with his eyes, and there was no sound for a long time.
"Student Qin Yitian------"
"Shh------" Qin Yitian made a gesture to keep quiet.
Fang Yan was very hurt.
You liar, didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something important? Now you won't even let me talk.
Fang Yan sat opposite Qin Yitian, and like her, he lay down in the most comfortable position, looking at the bright moon and black mountains in the distance, his mind empty and he was instantly absorbed.
I have to admit, this feels pretty good.
Some people enjoy peace and quiet, while others are extremely restless.
When Zheng Guodong was squeezing a new pimple on his face in the room, his minions Chen Tao and Li Yang pushed the door and walked in.
"Mr. Zheng, do you want us to come here for a show?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
Zheng Guodong wiped the blood off his face with a tissue and said, "Go out for a walk. Who can sleep so early?"
"Didn't Fang Yan tell everyone not to go out at night?" Chen Tao said.
"Fang Yan?" Zheng Guodong sneered. "Who is he? Whatever he says is the truth. Why should we listen to him?"
"But----it's so late, there's nothing fun to do on the mountain, right?" Chen Tao said.
"How do you know there's nothing to do if you haven't gone out?" Zheng Guodong said. "Didn't we hear about it during dinner? There's a Tiger Leaping Gorge nearby. When the moon is out at night, maybe we can see a tiger leaping over the gorge. We three are obviously rich people, so maybe we can see it."
"But the waiter also said that Tiger Leaping Gorge is dangerous and it's easy to get into danger-----"
Zheng Guodong got angry and kicked Chen Tao on the knee, cursing, "Chen Tao, are you scared by that little bastard Fang Yan? You don't dare to go to me and Li Yang, so you stay here and flatter Fang Yan. Let's see if he will give you a Three Good Students Award Certificate at the end of the year."
Chen Tao quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, that's not what I meant. Li Yang and I are not afraid of anything, but we are worried about Mr. Zheng's safety-----"
"I'm safe." Zheng Guodong said unhappily. "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to go, come with me. If you don't want to go, get lost. Don't make me feel bored."
"Go. Whoever doesn't go is a grandson." Chen Tao said, patting his chest.
The three of them discussed it seriously again, and then they sneaked out of the room with flashlights and other night-time equipment.
What Zheng Guodong, Li Yang and Chen Tao did not notice was that just as they walked out of the Lanyue Hotel, a couple also walked out of the Baihua Valley Hotel next door and followed them from a distance.
The scenic area is bustling during the day and becomes quiet and mysterious at night. There are some places with dense branches and leaves, which look dark and scary.
Li Yang and Chen Tao looked at each other and felt a little scared.
Li Yang said: "Mr. Zheng, this road is too dark. I'm afraid we'll get lost."
"That's right. How about we come back tomorrow?" Chen Tao echoed.
Zheng Guodong was also afraid, but he was the one who suggested going to see Tiger Leaping Gorge, so he said, "We've come this far, we have to go and see it. Are you afraid? If you're afraid, go back first."
Li Yang and Chen Tao quickly said, "No, no, we are not afraid. Why should we be afraid? Such a short walk at night is nothing. I have walked through cemeteries before."
At this moment, a pheasant jumped out from the bushes, and the three of them screamed and turned and ran.
"ah-----"
When I turned around just now, they were shouting even louder.
Because, behind them, two dark shadows followed them at some point in time.
The two shadows just stood there quietly, not speaking or making any sound, like lonely ghosts or bloodthirsty spirits from the depths of the forest.
thump!
The three of them turned and stopped suddenly. Chen Tao's physical condition was unable to react in time, and he staggered and fell forward.
He accidentally slipped and fell at the feet of the two men in black. He screamed in fright and moved his hands and feet together, desperately retreating backwards.
"Let's go." The black shadow pointed ahead and said without any emotion.
"Where are we going?" Zheng Guodong asked in a trembling voice. He was really scared this time and couldn't pretend any longer.
"Tiger Leaping Gorge." said the black shadow.
"We're not going. We don't want to go." Li Yang said urgently. "We want to go back."
"I'm afraid it's not up to you now." The black shadow said with a sneer.
"We won't go, why should we listen to you-----" Zheng Guodong shouted to give himself courage. In addition, he also hoped that someone would hear his voice and come to save him.
The black shadow jumped high and kicked Zheng Guodong in the chest.
Um-----
Zheng Guodong groaned, his body flew into the air, and fell towards the cliff beside the mountain path.
Chen Tao and Li Yang were so frightened that they didn't care about Zheng Guodong's life or death. They ran deep into the forest.
The two shadows started at the same time and rushed in front of them in an instant. With one kick each, Li Yang and Chen Tao also rolled out along Zheng Guodong's path, becoming true brothers in distress. (To be continued)
