Looking at the woman in front of her, Kang Yue frowned. She suddenly thought of something and asked somewhat suspiciously, "How did you guys get back?"
Shi Lan blinked, looking as if she didn't understand what she was talking about. "Sister Kang Yue, what are you talking about?"
Kang Yue, "Before, when we were in the forest, how did you get back?"
As she spoke, a hint of suspicion flashed in Kang Yue's eyes.
Seeing this, Shi Lan subconsciously averted her gaze, paused, and said, "After we separated from you, we accidentally found the path we had taken before. Then we retraced our steps and left."
Hearing this, Kang Yue raised an eyebrow and said nothing more, but the suspicion in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest...
Time flew by, and it was soon Saturday.
A group of people gathered at the agreed-upon location.
Seeing Kang Yue in the crowd, Shi Lan's eyes lit up. She quickly walked over, hooked her arm through Kang Yue's, and said in a very familiar manner, "Sister Kang Yue, you're here! Let's go hiking!" As she spoke, she raised the camera in her hand and said, "I brought my new camera today, it takes great photos. I'll take pictures of you later!"
Looking at the camera in Shi Lan's hand, Kang Yue had a strange look on her face and asked bluntly, "Do you think I don't watch TV dramas?"
"?? What do you mean by that?"
Kang Yue, "You'll take pictures of me, and then push me off the cliff while I'm posing, right..."
The words "How did you know" almost slipped out of Shi Lan's mouth.
Looking at Kang Yue, Shi Lan's expression became a little unnatural, and her smile was somewhat stiff. "Sister Kang Yue, you're such a jokester..."
Kang Yue, "Heh heh..."
Kang Yue was speechless. She turned to look for Ming Li, but after searching the crowd for a long time, she couldn't even see half a shadow of Ming Li. She frowned in confusion, took out her phone, and sent Ming Li a message, 'Sister Li, where are you?'
A moment later, her phone received a message. When she took it out to check, she saw that Ming Li had replied, 'Professor Qiu asked me about something, so I didn't come.'
Seeing this message, a flicker of disappointment crossed Kang Yue's eyes. 'Okay.'
After sending the message, Kang Yue put away her phone. Most people had arrived by then, so she followed the crowd and started climbing the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Kang Yue looked at everyone around her and felt that someone was missing.
Before she could think further, Shi Lan leaned in beside her again and said softly, "Sister Kang Yue, did you bring water? I'm so thirsty."
Looking at Shi Lan, Kang Yue finally remembered who was missing. "Where's your boyfriend? Why isn't he here?"
Hearing this, Shi Lan's expression stiffened. She came back to her senses and said, "He... he has something to do today and can't come."
Kang Yue said nothing more and handed Shi Lan her water bottle.
Soon it was noon, and everyone finally reached the summit. Looking at the mountains and rivers below, everyone felt refreshed and relaxed.
After a while, Shi Lan saw a secluded spot, her eyes lit up, and she walked to Kang Yue's side, pointing to the area. "Sister Kang Yue, look, the scenery over there is so beautiful! Let's go over there to take pictures!"
Following the direction Shi Lan pointed, Kang Yue instinctively frowned.
Seeing the expression on Kang Yue's face, Shi Lan's eyes darted around, and she quickly handed her camera to Kang Yue, saying, "Sister Kang Yue, can you take pictures for me?"
Kang Yue couldn't refuse and took the camera, following Shi Lan.
"Sister Kang Yue, the scenery here is great. Stand there and I'll take a picture of you."
Looking at the spot Shi Lan pointed to, Kang Yue frowned. After hesitating for a long time, she still walked over.
And so, Kang Yue stood by the cliff edge with the camera, preparing to take a photo of Shi Lan.
Seeing this, Shi Lan's expression brightened, her lips moved, and she suddenly made a strange sound.
As Kang Yue was wondering, her expression froze, and her gaze fixed directly behind Shi Lan...
