If she wanted to see the sunrise, she had to set off at four o’clock. She also had to put on her clothes and wash her eyes. When Gu Chu was woken up by the alarm clock, she felt as if she had just closed her eyes.
Feng Jia was already putting on his clothes. When he saw that she had woken up, he said, “You have twenty minutes to wash up. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Gu Chu stood up and began to question her life choices. She was supposed to use this opportunity to bait Gu Wan, but she herself was baited.
After being in a daze for a few minutes, she struggled to get out of bed. Why did she agree to do this?
After Gu Chu washed up, she went downstairs.
The others were already waiting. Gu Chu glanced around and found that there was a girl in the crowd.
The girl was leaning against Meng Lang. When she saw her coming down, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes. She hugged Meng Lang’s arm even tighter, as if she was afraid that she would snatch Meng Lang away from him.
Meng Lang smiled and said to Guchu, “Chuchu, let me introduce you. This is a coincidence.”
Oh, looks like the show last night was pretty good. There was even another girl.
Gu Chu nodded casually and stood beside Feng Jia. He carried a backpack and looked at her. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to get up.”
Gu Chu chuckled.
After the car arrived, Gu Chu was the first to get in. She sat next to the driver and closed her eyes, intending to catch up on some sleep.
This resort was built next to the mountain. They had climbed the mountain once last year, so they were more familiar with the terrain here. It wasn’t as strenuous as last time. It was just that Gu Chu had been really tormented these two days, so she walked with some difficulty.
There was discomfort especially between her legs.
Gu Chu gritted her teeth and glared at Feng Jia with hatred.
At this moment, Meng Lang came over to hold her hand and said, “Chuchu, come and take a look at this!”
Gu Chu took a deep breath and said in annoyance, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t grab me.”
“Come over and take a look!”
What was he looking at?
Gu Chu focused and looked. Then, she saw a bronze square sign in the grass not far away. Meng Lang pushed the grass aside and pointed at the words on it, he said excitedly, “The spot where Chuchu twisted her ankle.”
Gu Chu: “?”
It was the place where she twisted her ankle a year ago!
She wanted to slap his head with her backhand. “Are you crazy?”
Meng Lang suggested hiking just to bring Gu Chu to see this!
He tilted his head and avoided her hand, then laughed out loud. “Hahaha! This bronze sign must stay here! It will be passed down to future generations to admire!”
“Then, after a few hundred years, some archaeologists would find this. They would be curious about the person named Gu Chu. Who is she? Why did she put up a sign when she twisted her ankle? Then, after a careful investigation they would discover that she’s the most popular girl in Haicheng City!”
Gu Chu couldn’t help but laugh.
The corner of Feng Jia’s mouth also curled up.
Lu Shen found it funny. “Meng Lang, you’re always toying with death!”
Meng Lang took out his phone and held it up. “Chuchu, come, take a photo with your sign!”
Gu Chu was amused. She went straight for his phone. The two of them chased each other while Meng Lang used Wang Xiao as a shield. Gu Chu almost missed her footing again. Fortunately, Feng Jia caught her quickly, she said in a low voice, “Stop fooling around. Be careful not to twist your ankle again.”
Gu Chu happened to be standing next to the sign. Meng Lang immediately took a picture of Gu Chu and Feng Jia together.
Gu Chu saw this and was about to scold him, but unexpectedly, a probing voice came from the grass behind her, “Chuchu?”
It was a very familiar voice.
Gu Chu turned and saw a person walking out from the grass, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. “I thought I heard wrong just now. So it really is you! Mr. Feng is also here. Are you also here to climb the mountain? I can’t believe I ran into you here by chance! What a coincidence!”
The smile on Gu Chu’s face instantly disappeared.
Gu Wan, she really came!
Was this an ordinary coincidence or something else? The sisters must have told her!
Gu Chu looked behind Gu Wan and indeed saw two people. She recognized them. They were the sisters.
She snorted in her heart. Did her plan succeed?
There was a deeper meaning behind her eyes. “Yes, we’re also here to climb the mountain. Who are the two people behind you? Aren’t you going to introduce them?”
Gu Wan felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at her. She suddenly felt as if her thoughts had been exposed.
