Han Zhou was silent for two seconds: "I had my back to you the whole time, how did you see the look in my eyes?"
"You don't need to see it, two people who are attracted to each other can be in sync with each other."
Mo Yixia said in a light tone, bending down to put on her shoes, “I’m going to go to the bathroom, help me put my pajamas in my bag.”
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need. Before you confess your feelings to me, it's still too embarrassing for a pure high school girl like me to go to the bathroom together."
"..."
……
The night in the snowy mountains is much quieter than in the city. Perhaps because it is located at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the sky seems closer than usual. Because of this, it looks particularly dark and gloomy.
There was only the sound of the whistling wind outside the door.
"Have you thought about it?"
The light in the toilet was on all the time. Chen Xiang, who had just woken up, was still a little sleepy. He shook his body, turned on the faucet and washed his hands. The bone-chilling cold immediately made him lose all his sleepiness, and he shivered as he put a cigarette into his mouth.
"I can guarantee that doing this will make your relationship advance by leaps and bounds, but it is not without risks. Once the truth is revealed, not only will Xiaoyu and I have a very bad relationship, but my relationship with Xiaoyu will also drop to the freezing point. Qianqian might even blame me."
Although he couldn't stand Liao Xinyu's bootlicking behavior, Chen Xiang still wanted to help him out of friendship. However, helping him was helping, but in order to avoid being implicated later, he needed to clarify the interests in advance.
"I see."
Liao Xinyu took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong I won't tell you. I did it all by myself."
Tsk, he's really infatuated.
Chen Xiang shrugged, puffing out smoke and saying, "The so-called suspension bridge effect, in simple terms, is that it is easier for two people to develop feelings for each other in a dangerous environment, so what we have to do is very simple - that is to artificially create a dangerous environment for you to get along with each other."
"I mentioned two plans before. The first one was to put some sleeping pills in Xiaoyu's water cup so that she couldn't climb the mountain with us in time. You would stay with her then... You have already rejected this plan, so I won't continue. Even if we put sleeping pills in it now, it's too late, so we are going to implement the second plan."
Liao Xinyu listened silently. Because he was too nervous and had an indescribable excitement, he began to unconsciously pull the zipper of his jacket up and down, making a continuous "rustling" sound.
"The second plan is a little riskier, but in this case, the greater the risk, the better the effect. What we need to do is to create some moderate dangers during the climb. It would be best if you can leave the team and be alone. I have already thought of the specific plan, but you may need to be prepared to get hurt."
"..."
After listening to the plan presented by Chen Xiang, Liao Xinyu was silent for a long time. His mood was more complicated than ever before. He felt worried and expectant, guilty and unwilling, and also had a hint of desire for the future.
Overall, although this plan was a bit dangerous, it was quite feasible. He agreed without hesitation for too long, and the two began to discuss the specific details.
Plans are plans, but it will be troublesome if we really get into danger.
"That's about it. I'll say this in advance. Whether it succeeds or not, don't tell anyone that this has anything to do with me."
When the plan was almost confirmed, Chen Xiang put out his cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. He rubbed his frozen hands and looked seriously at Liao Xinyu, who was so nervous that he was breathing heavily.
He can't let his character collapse.
"I know." Liao Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, it's not like you've ever covered for me."
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Let's go back. Qianqian and the others should be awake by now."
He opened the toilet door and walked out while sharing his experience. "To be honest, if you had listened to me earlier and asked Xiaoyu out for a drink, you wouldn't have to do this now. Sometimes you don't have to impress girls to pursue them. Feelings can be cultivated afterwards..."
Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly froze.
A girl wearing a mask was standing outside the toilet.

Chapter 191 Missing
Han Zhou put away Mo Yixia's bunny pajamas, took off the sheets and quilt covers, folded them and put them in his backpack. He took out the two water cups from the bag, poured out the cold water, and poured the hot water that had just boiled in the kettle into them.
Just as I tightened the lid of the cup, there was a heavy knock on the door outside the house, and someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Is anyone in the house awake? Get up quickly and get ready, it's time to leave soon!"
It’s Brother Wang’s voice.
His voice sounded quite hurried, giving people the feeling that he was in a hurry, like a college student who just got out of bed a minute before the 8 a.m. class.
This analogy is not quite appropriate. After all, today's college students have a very good mentality. Not to mention being late from 8 am, they can remain calm even if they skip classes for a morning.
Maybe he overslept... Han Zhou secretly slandered the guide's professionalism and replied loudly: "Got it, I'll be right there!"
"Gather when you're ready!"
Brother Wang left in a hurry after leaving a few words, probably to wake up the people in other rooms.
I must have overslept... Han Zhou thought silently.
……
About ten minutes later, everyone gathered under the only street light in the base camp.
The temperature now is much lower than during the day, making people want to get back into bed, but fortunately it has stopped snowing, which is a good thing for the upcoming climb to the summit.
After sleeping for only a few hours, the young people did not get enough sleep. They looked listless, shrunk their necks and yawned continuously. However, after being blown by the biting cold wind a few more times, all their sleepiness disappeared.
The guides came out of the house one after another, probably because they had just finished washing up. Han Zhou had good eyesight and actually saw that one of the guides had a facial mask on his face. He thought that middle-aged people nowadays live a very refined life.
Unlike everyone else who was shivering with the cold, the tall and strong Zhang Tao looked quite energetic. He was fiddling with the camera equipment in his hands, obviously intending to record the next process of reaching the summit. But I wonder how many useful pictures he could capture in the dark.
Although there is a full moon in the sky, the light it brings is very limited.
Seeing Han Zhou standing alone in the corner, Zhang Tao came over to greet him, looked around, and asked, "Han Zhou, your daughter...your friend?"
He originally subconsciously wanted to say girlfriend, but now he knew that Han Zhou and Mo Yixia were not in a relationship, so he changed his words in time.
But he always felt that it was unnecessary because he would have to change it back soon.
"She went to the bathroom." Han Zhou smiled, "Also, just call me Han Zhou, don't add the title of junior at the end, I'm not used to it."
He looked towards the toilet not far away and frowned slightly. It had been nearly twenty minutes since Mo Yixia went to the toilet and she hadn't come back yet. Could it be that she had diarrhea?
"Then you can just call me by my name, Brother Tao is fine, many people call me that."
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Han Zhou, are you really not interested in joining my extreme sports club? I can see that you are a person who exercises regularly and have a good physical fitness. You can definitely challenge the physical limits of humans with me."
He looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes.
Then you really read it wrong. If it weren't for the status bar, you would only be able to see if my ashes are of good quality...
Han Zhou retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, senior, I'm not interested in challenging my limits. Besides, I'm not very courageous and I don't dare to engage in overly dangerous sports..."
In order to avoid the other party from continuing to invite him to join in boring activities such as late-night ghost hunting, he deliberately emphasized that he was a man of little courage. He believed that the other party could see that he was declining.
"Really? That's a pity..."
Zhang Tao understood what he meant, but had no intention of forcing him. He shook his head with some regret and said nothing more.
It is not easy to find a like-minded person these days. He thought that Han Zhou, who could firmly reject Mo Yixia's feelings, was the same type of person as him, but now it seems that is not the case.
While the two were talking, they heard footsteps. Xiao Yuyan came over with an unhappy look on her face. Her gloomy expression scared the two of them. Han Zhou wondered, "Sister Yuyan, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?"
"your expression……"
"My expression?"
"How should I put it...it's scary." Zhang Tao commented frankly.
"Have it?"
Xiao Yuyan was stunned and looked at Han Zhou in front of her for confirmation. The latter nodded in agreement, obviously holding the same opinion as Zhang Tao.
"It's all the fault of that scumbag Chen Xiang!"
Xiao Yuyan rubbed her face hard, sighed and said, "I slept with Qianqian and Xiaoyou at night. Before going to bed, they talked about the sweet daily life between lovers. If it were in the past, I would definitely be very interested in this topic, but now I feel so uncomfortable, and I can't expose that guy immediately, so the more I think about it, the angrier I get."
For most people, it is difficult to say that a friend has been betrayed emotionally. Sometimes the better the relationship, the more concerns there are. If possible, Xiao Yuyan really doesn't want to turn her roommate's good mood into a haze that will last for a while.
Thinking of Qianqian's happy look when she talked about Chen Xiang last night, she didn't even dare to think about how the other party would react when she found out that her boyfriend was a complete scumbag.
But it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. What needs to be faced will have to be faced sooner or later. It is better to remove the poison as soon as possible and welcome a new life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuyan lowered her voice and speculated maliciously, "I feel sick when I see Chen Xiang now. I saw him looking guilty just now when I went out. He must have done something bad again. Maybe he's hooking up with other girls again!"
There is no internet or signal in this place, where can he pick up girls...
Han Zhou smiled bitterly. He understood Xiao Yuyan's hatred for scumbag men. Then he thought of his despicable main mission...
He couldn't laugh anymore.
Seeing that Han Zhou looked unhappy, Xiao Yuyan felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't tell these words to Xiaoyou and others for the time being, so she could only complain in front of Han Zhou and others, and thought she scared them.
Worried about affecting the mood of the two, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is Mo Yixia?"
She has a crush on the pretty girl who is persistent in pursuing love.
Persistence and loyalty, this is what love should be like.
Of course, the premise is that both parties are in love with each other. One-sided love does not count as love.
"Going to the toilet."
Han Zhou answered, and after thinking about it, he felt a little worried, and said hesitantly, "That guy has been gone for a while, I'm not too sure, Sister Yuyan, can you help me check the women's restroom?"
Although the public toilet at the base camp is not big, it still has separate toilets for men and women.
"No problem, no problem!"
Xiao Yuyan looked excited and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Although she just took a little longer to go to the toilet, she didn't think it was an exaggeration at all, but a proof of love.
She swept away her previous gloom and trotted towards the toilet happily. Her happy look made Han Zhou quite confused, and he didn't quite understand why she suddenly became so happy.
I can only say that the happiness of the CP leader is really simple.
Not long after, Xiao Yuyan came back with a strange look on her face. The strange expression made Han Zhou feel something was wrong. The next second, what she said made his heart sink.
“Um…are you sure Mo Yixia is in the bathroom?”
Obviously, there was no one in the bathroom.
In order to confirm whether Mo Yixia had entered the men's restroom by mistake, Xiao Yuyan specially asked Lin Ming, who had just entered the restroom, to look around in the men's restroom. Although it was called a search, in fact, the size of the restroom made it clear at a glance, but Mo Yixia was still not found.
Han Zhou's expression was solemn. The fact that Mo Yixia was not in the bathroom did not necessarily mean that she was missing. He temporarily stopped panicking and planned to confirm it again.
Without saying a word, he rushed back into the house and checked every room one by one, searching around the base camp as quickly as possible. However, he still couldn't find Mo Yixia, nor did he find any useful traces.
