Zhang Tao sat down opposite him, put his backpack on the empty seat beside him, and explained with a smile, "The signal is not very good on this road, the live broadcast is always intermittent, and I can't interact with the audience. I am a very energetic person and can't sleep in the car. It's a bit boring to sit in the back alone, so I want to find someone I know to chat with. I hope I won't disturb you?"
"No, but please don't talk too loudly. This guy is asleep. I think he is asleep..."
Han Zhou glanced at Mo Yixia suspiciously, his tone a little uncertain. This guy said he wanted to sleep not long after getting in the car, and he also put on headphones to listen to music, which was rare. He didn't ask any further questions about Zhang Tao's "interesting look", and felt that he had stopped there.
He clearly hadn't done anything to feel guilty about, but Han Zhou inexplicably felt relieved.
I just don't know if Mo Yixia is really asleep. She is wearing a mask and snow goggles and it is entirely possible that she is pretending to be asleep. Maybe she is staring at him intently at this moment.
With this guy's style, it's entirely possible that he would do something as boring as this...
Zhang Tao nodded to show that he understood, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't ask about their relationship after all. Instead, he lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you suddenly put on your snow goggles?"
He remembered that the other party was not wearing snow goggles when they first got in the car.
I suggest you put this thing on right away...
Han Zhou muttered in his heart. Of course, he would not tell the other party that this was to guard against Mo Yixia's "mind reading", and the person who should be most on guard against her was you. He took off his snow goggles and answered: "This is my first time using these mountaineering equipment. Everything I see is new, so I put them on to feel it in advance."
He put this thing on when Mo Yixia was staring at him. As for the reason why Mo Yixia wore snow goggles in the car, it was quite simple. She used this thing as an eye mask.
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "From what you said, it seems like this is your first time climbing a snowy mountain, right?"
"Well, it's a good opportunity to experience it during the holiday." Han Zhou was a little curious, "I heard that you are a great extreme sports enthusiast. Are you also interested in snowy mountains of this level?"
The reason why it is said to be "this level" is because the climbing difficulty of the Wucai Snow Mountain is not high. It is an entry-level snow mountain for beginners. It may be difficult for the sub-healthy people who are prevalent nowadays, but it should not be challenging for extreme sports enthusiasts like Zhang Tao.
"I plan to challenge the peak in the future. I heard that this challenge is very difficult. Although I have a lot of climbing experience, I have never climbed a snowy mountain. So I plan to proceed step by step, start with this kind of novice snowy mountain to adapt, and take a look at the scenery along the way."
Zhang Tao explained, "You should have heard of me. I'm a video blogger, and I'm fairly famous. But recently, both my videos and live broadcasts have hit a wall, so I'm planning to change my style temporarily and find some nice scenic spots to check in, which can satisfy the needs of some fans."
"Challenge the peak..."
Han Zhou was immediately filled with awe and said with emotion, "I heard that just saying this is a kind of courage."
Although he had limited knowledge of climbing, he was still well aware of how difficult it was to reach the summit.
Like Mount Everest in the previous life, as the world's highest peak, Juefeng is known to everyone and is quite mysterious. Many film and television dramas like to use this towering peak as the story background. Every time it is mentioned, in addition to lamenting its altitude that touches the clouds, it almost always emphasizes the danger of climbing.
This is a daunting peak. It is said that the top of the mountain is no longer a human world. It is dangerous and mysterious. Almost all climbers challenge it only after leaving a will.
This statement came from a thriller that Han Zhou had watched with Gu Zheng before. He couldn't remember the plot very clearly, but it seemed to be related to a snow monster. Although the description was too exaggerated, it still indirectly illustrated the difficulty of climbing the peak.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Tao wanted to challenge Juefeng, Han Zhou once again had a clear understanding of this senior's "ignorance of life and death".
"It's not that exaggerated. You think too highly of yourself. As long as you can afford to pay, others can even lift you to the top."
Seeing Han Zhou's dull expression, Zhang Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This junior fellow was thin and he had no experience in outdoor sports, so it was normal that he didn't know much about this aspect.
He gave a brief explanation, and then said, "By the way, since you know me, I won't introduce myself, but I don't know your name yet. Would you mind telling me?"
This is a mild-tempered young man, and his manners and speech are quite polite.
Han Zhou finally reacted and replied, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Han Zhou, and I'm a freshman."
"Han Zhou..."
Zhang Tao wrote down the name, looked at him for a while, and joked, "You can actually go to the basketball court more often when you have time. I think you are more handsome than Zhang Ziwen."
Han Zhou was stunned. He remembered the name Zhang Ziwen, who was also one of the six celebrities and was known as the "court overlord". It was said that the main reason for his fame was that he was very handsome, like the male protagonist who came out of a comic book.
But that's not right. Can you become famous just by being handsome these days? You're not a traffic star in the entertainment industry. You have to have something to show for yourself besides your face, right?
Han Zhou always believed that if he wanted to be famous in college, he had to be "capable". Good looks alone were definitely not enough. Apart from other things, he had to be good at one of the three things: singing, dancing, rap, or basketball, right?
Oh, it seems like the basketball was occupied, that’s okay.
Han Zhou was about to speak when he saw Zhang Tao on the other side suddenly look happy. He looked down at his phone and said, "Great, there's a signal!"
"There's a signal? Does that mean the live broadcast has been restored?"
Han Zhou remembered that Zhang Tao had just said that he had started a live broadcast.
"Yes, it's recovered!"
Perhaps realizing that his reaction was too excited, Zhang Tao smiled a little embarrassedly, restrained his excitement and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I promised before that I would let the audience in the live broadcast room watch the whole process of climbing the snow mountain, but there was almost no signal afterwards, so I am a little excited now."
"The whole time?" Han Zhou looked surprised. "Doesn't that mean it will be broadcast until tomorrow morning?"
"That's not what I mean. It's impossible to broadcast it for that long. It's tiring and boring. In fact, we just broadcast a little bit of each process, as a detailed guide for fans who will be interested in Green Mountain in the future. The main focus is still on collecting and editing video materials." Zhang Tao explained with a smile.
Han Zhou nodded. He wanted to ask whether being a video blogger could make money, but he didn't have the courage to ask.
It was not time to climb yet, so Zhang Tao did not take out a professional sports camera. He just turned on the front camera of his mobile phone. Soon, a few viewers, probably his die-hard fans, came into the live broadcast room and sent him comments to greet him.
"Hello everyone."
Zhang Tao also greeted the fans and said with a smile, "I am now taking a car to the mountain town at an altitude of 2,000 meters. It will arrive soon. The climb of Green Mountain will officially begin soon."
"I didn't want to, but the signal on this road is not very good, so the live broadcast just now was interrupted."
"I haven't had any adverse reactions yet. I have a strong ability to adapt to high altitudes, and the current altitude is not too high."
"Food? I brought chocolate and Coke..."
"..."
Zhang Tao really likes the feeling of interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room. Just as he finished answering the questions in the barrage, he saw a new barrage pop up on his mobile phone.
"Brother Tao, are you chatting with someone? I've been watching the live broadcast room. I just heard you say that someone is more handsome than Zhang Ziwen. Is this true?"
"Is this true? Is he the Zhang Ziwen from our school?" someone asked quickly.
"I don't believe it unless you let me see it."
"You've been waiting in the live broadcast room, buddy, you're really awesome..."
"Who cares if it's real or not? Just let us take a look, okay?"
"..."
Many viewers in the live broadcast room are from Lincheng University. After all, he is a well-known blogger from the same university, and everyone is happy to support their own people. In addition, extreme sports are more appealing to young people, so they often come to watch Zhang Tao’s live broadcast. If you are lucky, you may even meet new friends from the same school in the live broadcast room.
It is worth mentioning that a considerable number of Zhang Tao’s fans are female college students from Linyi University, who cheer for him all day long by pretending to be “ignorant of their own danger”.
Seeing that many people in the barrage were asking for the appearance of the handsome guy who was more handsome than Zhang Ziwen, Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and tactfully told Han Zhou the audience's demands.
"Let me appear on camera?" Han Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head to refuse, "Forget it, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing."
His voice was not loud, but it was still transmitted into the live broadcast room, and the refresh frequency of the barrage suddenly increased a bit.
"I can tell from his voice that he's a handsome guy, Brother Tao, let us take a look!"
"Yes, yes, let me see!"
"I seem to have heard this voice before..."
Zhang Tao was in a dilemma. Most of the time, he would try his best to meet the requests of the audience in the live broadcast room. But since Han Zhou was unwilling to show up in the live broadcast room, he must respect the other party's wishes and privacy, so he did not make any more requests.
However, no matter how much he begged, it was useless. Han Zhou's attitude was quite firm. There were actually two reasons why he refused to show up in the live broadcast room. In addition to his own lack of interest in being in the spotlight, he also had a vague worry -
You have to know that Zhang Tao is a well-known figure in the school. Who knows how many students from Linda are watching his live broadcast, including Guzheng.
Although Gu Zheng never watches live broadcasts, what if she happens to see it by accident, or what if one of her classmates happens to see it and forwards it to her?
It is by no means impossible.
Han Zhou was certainly not afraid of being seen by Gu Zheng, but the problem was that he was with Mo Yixia now. If Gu Zheng saw him, what would be the difference between that and being caught in bed with someone else?
Thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment.
Hey, why do I feel like this is catching an adulterer?
Han Zhou's mood became extremely complicated, and at this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
“I think it’s good to be on camera.”
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 172 A Love Letter
“I think it’s good to be on camera.”
The girl's voice was lazy, and she sounded a little sleepy and tired, as if she had just woken up. However, Han Zhou knew very well how good Mo Yixia's acting skills were, and it was entirely possible that she was pretending.
He seriously suspected that this guy had not fallen asleep at all and might have been eavesdropping just now.
Facing his suspicious gaze, Mo Yixia took off her snow goggles and looked over, saying lightly: "If you are doubting whether I was pretending to sleep before, then I can tell you clearly that I was indeed asleep. After all..."
"Do you have the habit of listening to music before sleeping?"
Han Zhou became alert and interrupted him quickly - past experience told him that this guy's "after all" would definitely not be a good thing.
"No, but I listen to it occasionally in the car."
Mo Yixia glanced at him, not unhappy about being interrupted, took off one of the headphones and handed it to him, "Do you want to listen?"
Although he was asking, Han Zhou vaguely read a hint of threat in her eyes, as if saying, if you dare not connect the headphones, then I will continue to say the content after "after all".
So he had no choice but to take the earphone and put it in his left ear.
As expected of a wealthy lady, these headphones look very expensive.
Mo Yixia nodded with satisfaction, opened her phone, changed a song, and pressed the play button.
A familiar prelude sounded in the headphones. Han Zhou was slightly stunned and turned to look at the girl.
Of course he could tell that the song was "I Want to Fall in Love".
The latter didn't seem to notice his gaze. She stared out the window, her head shaking slightly, as if she was humming along with the melody.
Han Zhou remembered that this guy had sung this song to him before, and he sang it very well.
Looking at the two people who were casually sharing headphones, Zhang Tao on the opposite side quickly realized the relationship between the two. Considering the privacy issue, he temporarily turned off the sound of the live broadcast room and asked curiously: "I wanted to ask before, what is the relationship between you two..."
"friend."
Mo Yixia withdrew her gaze from the window and answered before Han Zhou could. She moved her body towards Han Zhou, tilted her head slightly, raised her phone and took a selfie, including the dazed Han Zhou in the picture.
"normal friend."
She emphasized this again, then showed her phone to the people around her and asked for their opinions, "What do you think of this filter?"
"It's too hellish..."
Han Zhou's mouth twitched. The hell he was talking about was not the filter, but Mo Yixia's operation - this guy was almost sticking to him, sharing headphones and taking photos with him. Who would believe that they were just ordinary friends?
