"Lick it for me."
"…You don't have a tongue?"
“It’s inconvenient right now.”
"..."
Brother Wang, who was not far away, was all smiles. Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying because he was far away, he could tell from the two times they fed each other chocolate that they were a sweet couple.
That's great, this is youth, unlike his son who is obsessed with virtual characters all day long...
Thinking of this, he was melancholy for a moment, then he said loudly: "Okay, check the backpack again, remember to bring the things you need, and it's time to set off when you are almost ready!"
Climbing the snow mountains is carried out in teams. They will set out together with other climbers. This way, not only can everyone take care of each other, but the journey will not be too monotonous.
Han Zhou and the others heard his voice, responded, and walked over with their backpacks on. Although he couldn't see Mo Yixia's expression clearly, Han Zhou could tell that she seemed to be in a good mood, so he couldn't help asking, "Are you very interested... in climbing a snowy mountain?"
"You don't need to avoid the word 'expectation' to me. What I hate is the meaning it carries, not the word itself. And you can see that I am no longer that disgusted by it."
Han Zhou's thoughts could not be hidden from Mo Yixia. The girl glanced at him and said frankly, "I do have certain expectations for climbing the snow-capped mountains, because I have studied that climbing to the top of the snow-capped mountains will leave a very deep impression on people. If it is placed in a novel, it will most likely become an important climax event. Of course, if there is a crisis along the way, it will be even more memorable..."
"Don't say anything unlucky."
Han Zhou interrupted unhappily and asked curiously, "Since it is a climax event, do you have the confidence to climb to the top of the mountain?"
"It should be said that it is determination. Just as the guide said, it is a pity not to reach the top after climbing a snowy mountain with great difficulty."
Mo Yixia's tone was quite serious, and it was obvious that she was not joking.
"Really? Then come on."
Han Zhou smiled, and the two of them followed Brother Wang and soon met up with the mountaineering team.
There were eleven people in total in this team, both men and women. Brother Wang greeted a few of them with a smile. They were probably guides he knew. The others were all climbers, many of whom were young people like Han Zhou and his group, and they seemed to be college students.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Brother Wang's face instantly disappeared, and turned into melancholy. He was probably thinking of his son who was paralyzed at home and unable to take care of himself.
Before departure, several guides once again explained the mountaineering precautions to their respective climbers and repeatedly stressed that any physical discomfort must be reported as soon as possible.
Han Zhou listened silently and looked at the other people in the mountaineering team. At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking not far away.

Chapter 170 Interesting Eyes
"Sorry, I'm late."
The young man who got into the car was tall and strong, but his voice was quite soft. His handsome appearance did not match his sturdy figure, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the car.
After Mo Yixia got in the car, she closed her eyes and rested, as if she really wanted to conserve her energy in order to climb to the top of the mountain. She was not interested in who got in the car. However, when she realized that Han Zhou beside her was quite concerned about her, she still glanced towards the car door.
"You know him?"
"Not really an acquaintance." Han Zhou looked at the sturdy young man and replied, "He is a junior in our school. I met him once before in school."
Mo Yixia had a good memory and quickly thought of something. She said thoughtfully, "It's the 'ignorant' Zhang Tao you mentioned before, one of the six famous people in your school."
"How do you know?"
Han Zhou looked at her in surprise. He had told her interesting stories at school and naturally talked about the six celebrities, but he had never mentioned Zhang Tao's appearance.
"If someone leaves an impression on you after just one meeting, it means that he has some qualities worth noting, such as a certain level of fame. And I remember you said that Zhang Tao is a blogger who loves extreme sports. Not only is he strong, he also carries live-streaming equipment with him and wears relatively thin clothes. He fits the image of 'not knowing whether to live or die' that you mentioned."
Mo Yixia analyzed, "Of course, this noteworthy trait may also be the contrast between the person's body and appearance. This is a memorable point, but I know very well that you are just lusty but not brave enough, and you don't like men, so this trait is unlikely to attract you."
Han Zhou was silent for a moment: "There's actually no need to say the last sentence..."
"You don't like this man?"
"I have the desire but not the courage."
"hehe."
"..."
The reason why the two of them are in the car now is because they need to take a car to a mountain town with an altitude of about two thousand meters. Otherwise, they will not be able to climb to the top of the mountain by hiking tomorrow morning.
Normally, they should have gone to the mountain town yesterday to adapt to the high-altitude environment, but yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they didn't want to spend all their time climbing the mountain, so they gave up on adapting in advance. The other people in the car had similar plans.
And because of this, although several guides did not say it, they seemed not optimistic about this trip to the snow mountain, believing that few people could reach the summit.
With Zhang Tao getting on the car, everyone was finally together. The car started quickly and headed towards the mountain town.
Zhang Tao was carrying a large black backpack, looking down at his phone, debugging the equipment while looking for a seat. He seemed to have a feeling. When he passed by Han Zhou, he suddenly stopped and looked at him carefully for a while, then smiled: "My classmate, we meet again."
His tone was quite enthusiastic, and he obviously recognized Han Zhou.
Mo Yixia glanced at Han Zhou.
Although she was wearing snow goggles and couldn't see her eyes clearly, Han Zhou still quickly understood what she meant based on what she just said.
This guy can recognize you, it seems that there is something about you that attracts him.
My characteristic should be handsome, but is there anything wrong with being handsome...
Han Zhou muttered in his heart, then looked at Zhang Tao with a smile and said politely: "Hello, senior, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence indeed." Zhang Tao showed curiosity, "But I think we've only met once. Do you still remember me?"
"To be precise, I mean 'recognized'. Senior, you are a famous person in school, and there should be quite a few people who know you." Han Zhou smiled, "I am more curious about how you still remember me."
Is it really because he's handsome?
"Because that day..."
Zhang Tao wanted to explain, but he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly closed his mouth and smiled, "Sorry, I have a call to answer. Let's talk after we get off the car."
After saying that, he walked to the back of the car and found an empty seat to sit down.
Han Zhou turned around and looked at him strangely. The other party didn't look like he wanted to answer the phone. Could it be that he was in the middle of a live broadcast and it was inconvenient?
He noticed early on that the other person was wearing headphones, and there seemed to be a barrage of comments on his phone just now. He didn't know whether he was broadcasting live or watching someone else's live.
However, looking at the sophisticated equipment on Zhang Tao, whether he is broadcasting live now or not, he will definitely turn on the live broadcast when climbing the snow mountain later. Otherwise, there is no need to bring so many things on the car.
But then again, an extreme sports expert suddenly comes to climb a snowy mountain that is suitable for beginners... Is he changing his live broadcast style or is he planning to try some exciting activities like snow mountain skiing?
Han Zhou made a random guess and didn't take it too seriously. However, at this moment, he heard Mo Yixia suddenly say, "The way your senior looked at me just now was very interesting."
Han Zhou was stunned and asked curiously, "Interesting? How interesting?"
Mo Yixia's face was now completely obscured by the goggles and mask, so Zhang Tao was obviously not attracted by her beauty. Even if there was such a reaction, Mo Yixia would not describe it as "interesting".
So the question is, her appearance is completely blocked, she didn't say anything or make any other movements, and she didn't show any highlights at all. Why did Zhang Tao look at her with such an 'interesting' look?
"He seems to think I'm your girlfriend."
Mo Yixia's tone was quite subtle, and after a pause she continued, "But that's not the point."
"What's the point?"
"The point is, after he had this idea, he quickly began to doubt it."
Han Zhou said unhappily: "What's so strange about this? The only thing that can be seen on your body right now is your temperament. And how can I describe your temperament? Well... at least I can't see it now."
"Oh, does someone mean that people with no looks, no figure, and no temperament are not worthy of you?" Mo Yixia understood what he meant and slowly started to talk.
Han Zhou shrugged. "At least that's how it looks to outsiders. Although society has always emphasized not to judge people by appearance, appearance is always the primary factor in judging a person when one knows nothing else. This also applies to judging whether two people are a good match."
"I don't deny that." Mo Yixia nodded, "But are you praising yourself for being handsome in disguise? Has anyone ever told you that you are narcissistic?"
She threw back the question Han Zhou asked her this morning.
"No, it's not true. Knowing your own strengths at the right time is not narcissism. People who think you are narcissistic are usually those who are jealous of you. Think about it from another perspective. If I tell everyone I meet that I am not handsome, there will definitely be a lot of people who will say that I am pretending, right?"
Han Zhou answered with the same words she used this morning.
"Is that right?"
Mo Yixia was thoughtful and suggested, "Practice makes perfect. How about this? There are more than ten people on the bus. This number of samples is very suitable for observation. You can stand up now and say loudly that you are not handsome. I will analyze their psychological activities for you."
Han Zhou was silent for a moment: "I can guess what they are thinking without your analysis."
This is a fool...
If he really did this, then this sentence would become everyone's psychological activity at that time.
"Okay, you haven't finished talking yet, what was so interesting about Zhang Tao's look just now?"
Han Zhou had personally experienced Mo Yixia's "mind-reading" ability, so he was very curious about what she saw in Zhang Tao's eyes.
However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but after asking this question, he found that Mo Yixia's mood seemed to have changed to some extent. She looked at him meaningfully for a long time, as if she was deliberately teasing him, and she never intended to speak.
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding, with snow-capped mountains looming in the distance. The girl's snow goggles were pitch black, and her eyes could not be seen clearly. Instead, her slightly confused expression was reflected.
"Why are you looking at me like this? It feels like you're looking at a criminal..."
Han Zhou felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he pretended to be calm and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
He suddenly didn't want to know what was so interesting about that look anymore.
However, Mo Yixia obviously didn't want him to get his wish, or rather, the other party had been observing his expression until this time she spoke softly.
“‘Is this girl the girlfriend of this classmate? But it doesn’t seem right. This wasn’t the girl I saw last time. Forget it, it’s better not to ask…’”
"This is the meaning of the look in your senior's eyes."
At this point, Mo Yixia paused and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it interesting?"
Han Zhou's scalp tingled and he swallowed quietly, feeling an indescribable sense of guilt.
"It's...it's really interesting..."

Chapter 171 Big crisis!
"Can I sit here?"
The car drove for about half an hour when Zhang Tao's voice suddenly rang in Han Zhou's ears. The latter turned his head and looked at Mo Yixia who was wearing headphones beside him. He actually wanted to say no in his heart, but finally nodded.
"can."
"Thank you."
