Seeing Zhang Tao looking at her with inquiring eyes, Xiao Yuyan was not shy. After pondering for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she explained, "Just like the same distance, it's not easy to get tired with one backpack, but it's easy to get tired with two backpacks."
She considers herself to be very reserved, so naturally she cannot say it too explicitly. This is a rather subtle expression.
After saying that, he took a drink of water.
Zhang Tao seemed to understand, thinking back to today's climbing experience, nodded and said, "I understand, Chen Xiang's physical strength is not very good, so he can't walk with two backpacks... But Han Zhou's physical strength is beyond my expectation, I'm afraid it won't be a problem for him to carry three backpacks, right?"
"More than that."
Mo Yixia lowered her head and snapped her fingers, sneering, "This guy's dream is to carry five backpacks at once."
"puff!"
The water in Xiao Yuyan's mouth suddenly spurted out. If she hadn't turned her head in time, the water would have sprayed onto the face of Han Zhou who was sitting opposite her.
"No... I'm sorry..."
Seeing that all three of them were looking at her, she smiled awkwardly and poured some saliva into her mouth again to cover up her embarrassment.
Zhang Tao didn't understand why Xiao Yuyan suddenly laughed, but he didn't care too much. Hearing that Han Zhou had such a lofty ideal, he couldn't help but be moved, and took the opportunity to invite him: "Han Zhou, are you interested in doing extreme sports with me?"
"puff!"
Xiao Yuyan sprayed out the water in her mouth again, as if she was choked, and coughed violently.
Carrying five bags at a time is really extreme...
This time she didn't have time to turn her head away, and Han Zhou opposite her was naturally not spared either, with water all over his face.
He had a blank expression on his face, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

Chapter 187 The Pursuer
Mo Yixia took the initiative to help wipe the water off Han Zhou's face. This guy had bad intentions and used all her strength to wipe off a layer of skin on his face.
He was sure that this guy was definitely waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
His cheeks were burning with pain, and he took a deep breath. He ignored the pitying looks of Xiao Yuyan and Zhang Tao and turned to look at the girl with waist-length hair.
The latter blew into his palm, rubbed it gently, then slowly put his hand back into his palm, and said innocently: "You will catch a cold if you get wet at this temperature. You should understand the principle of friction generating heat."
Han Zhou laughed angrily: "So I should thank you?"
"Isn't it?" Mo Yixia looked at him calmly and said calmly, "Of course, if you really don't know how to be kind, then I don't mind you fighting back."
She glanced down at her held hand.
"You think beautifully."
Han Zhou rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. He had no intention of rubbing this guy's hands.
As if Mo Yixia saw through his thoughts, she moved her lips and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I didn't ask you to rub my hands to generate heat."
"Not even the face."
Han Zhou also moved his lips. In order to "fight" with his mother who understood lip reading, Mo Yixia also learned a little lip reading and could understand what he meant.
He laughed in his heart, then he realized that they could actually communicate silently.
Mo Yixia looked at him for a while, then suddenly curled the corners of her mouth and said in a meaningful tone: “I didn’t say it was a face.”
"..."
Han Zhou opened his mouth and then fell silent.
Seeing that the two seemed to be communicating secretly, Xiao Yuyan couldn't help but smile like an auntie, and at the same time apologized: "I'm sorry, Han Zhou, I just couldn't help it..."
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Han Zhou shook his head. He couldn't remember how many times he had been sprayed with water on his face. He was indeed used to it.
Fortunately, no one has sprayed boiling water on his face so far.
……
"I'm going to the bathroom, is there anyone willing to join me?"
Chen Xiang climbed up from the bed. The moment he left the warm quilt, he shivered violently and quickly put on his coat and got out of bed.
Liang Qian felt a little sleepy and curled up in the quilt, drowsy, and ignored him.
Lin Ming was still playing games. Hearing this, he said casually, "I'm not going. Let Xinyu go with you."
Liao Xinyu sat on the stool with a dejected look on his face. Chen Xiang shook his head inwardly when he saw him. He walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xinyu, accompany me to the toilet."
Liao Xinyu said "hmm" absentmindedly, stood up and went out with him.
Even though the door was only opened for a short while, the cold air and wind that rushed into the room still made Lin Xiaoyou shiver. She shrank her neck and muttered, "I didn't expect that you boys also like to go to the bathroom together."
Lin Ming rolled his eyes at his girlfriend in annoyance: "Don't be surprised. Going to the toilet in a group is not a privilege for girls. Besides, it's dark outside. It's safer to find a companion."
Lin Xiaoyou was waiting for these words, and whispered, "Then you should go with me later, I'm a little scared."
"No." Lin Ming shook his head and sneered, "It's so cold outside, only a fool would go out."
"Go." Lin Xiaoyou frowned.
"Don't go."
"go with!"
"Don't go."
"are you going?"
Lin Xiaoyou raised her brows and shoved her cold hands into the back of her stupid boyfriend's collar.
"hiss--"
Lin Ming sucked in a breath of cold air, almost jumping up from the cold, and quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, "Go, can't I go? I was just kidding, take your hand out now!"
"late!"
Lin Xiaoyou gritted her teeth and grabbed her stupid boyfriend's ear with her other hand.
The toilet at the base camp was not as simple as Chen Xiang had imagined. On the contrary, it was quite "high-end". Apart from being relatively small, it looked similar to an ordinary public toilet. It had a washbasin and a mirror, and the lighting was fine. It was not a squat toilet as he had expected, but a toilet. Although it had a bit of a peculiar smell, it looked clean.
However, it must be said that sitting on the toilet in such a cold environment is really a difficult test of willpower. He hesitated for a long time before he dared to sit on it, and took a deep breath.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The only sound outside could be heard, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, occasionally accompanied by some strange noises, which sounded a bit like the howling of a wolf. Thinking that he was now on a snowy mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, far away from human habitation, even a grown man like Chen Xiang couldn't help but feel a little scared, and he couldn't help but knock on the toilet door.
"Xinyu? Xinyu? Are you outside?"
"Ah."
Liao Xinyu's dull voice soon sounded outside the door.
Hearing his friend's voice, Chen Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him, "Wait for me a little longer. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
"Ah."
Liao Xinyu's tone was quite depressed and he seemed unhappy.
Chen Xiang sighed and consoled him, "There's no need to hold a grudge against you. Some things can't be forced. There are so many women in this world. At worst, I can send you some pretty schoolgirls' messages after I go back."
If I could have gotten Xiaoyu, I would have pursued her... he thought silently in his heart.
"no need."
Liao Xinyu was silent for a long time, but couldn't help asking, "Chen Xiang, you, you say... Xiaoyu really has no feelings for me at all?"
"Hmm... probably."
Chen Xiang hesitated for a while, not wanting to say it too bluntly, but he still felt it necessary to dispel the thoughts of this affectionate roommate. After all, there are many fish in the sea, so why bother hanging yourself on one tree? This guy hasn't had any sex yet, so he should have found a new target long ago.
He yawned and said casually, "If a girl has even the slightest affection for you, she would never publicly express her rejection like today. Xiaoyu has left no room for retreat, whether it's for you or for herself. Do you understand what I mean?"
What's more, you have already paid so much, those who should be moved have already been moved...
Chen Xiang didn't say this, but just shook his head in his heart.
Liao Xinyu outside the door didn't speak for a long time. If Chen Xiang didn't know his character, he might have thought he had left.
This is not giving up...
Chen Xiang frowned, thinking of his roommate's stubborn temper. He pondered for a while, then handed over a cigarette and a lighter through the crack under the toilet door: "Would you like some?"
"No." Liao Xinyu said dully, "I don't smoke, and Xiaoyu doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. I don't want her to hate me."
Hey brother, you're really licking her too much. Can't you see that she's already beginning to hate you?
Chen Xiang was suddenly speechless. Since this guy refused to turn back even if he hit the wall, he was too lazy to persuade him. He just put the cigarette into his mouth and lit it with a lighter. Soon the toilet was filled with smoke.
"Ugh."
Although he really couldn't understand the mentality of a dog licker, he still felt sorry for him because they were brothers after all. He sighed and said, "I have one last way to bring you closer. Do you want to hear it?"
Liao Xinyu was silent for a moment, and finally there was a little more anger in his voice: "What, what method?"
Alas, there is no hope...
Chen Xiang, holding a cigarette in his mouth, was also silent for a while.
“Have you ever heard of the drawbridge effect?”
……
In the room, Han Zhou and others promptly ended the topic of "Chen Xiang carrying a backpack".
After all, the only person who really had a relationship with him was Xiao Yuyan. Others could only condemn him and did not care about the subsequent development of the matter.
Xiao Yuyan was in a bad mood, but she knew that it was useless to think too much now. She silently pondered for a while how to comfort her best friend, and then temporarily put this bad thing behind her.
She exhaled a breath of foul air, barely calming down her bad mood, then looked at Han Zhou and Mo Yixia with expectation, coughed twice, and hinted: "Um... it seems that our game of fried golden flowers is not over yet, right?"
According to the rules of the game, she can ask the losers Han Zhou and Mo Yixia a question respectively. As a CP leader and gossip-loving person, this is the part she is most looking forward to.
Mo Yixia glanced at her and said calmly, “Go ahead, what do you want to ask?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhou's heart suddenly began to tighten.
It's easy to tell that Xiao Yuyan will most likely ask some questions related to love, and Mo Yixia is a person who only wants to create chaos in the world, so even if she answers, she probably won't answer properly.
This made him feel a little uneasy.
