Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

As they chatted, they burst into laughter, their gazes toward them carrying an aggressive tone that made the person feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Yan felt inexplicably uneasy: "Did you see that look in their eyes? I feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe we shouldn't go to Panlong Mountain."

Liu Weiwei shook her head: "It should be fine, don't overthink it. We already agreed to go up the mountain to watch the sunrise. Even if we don't go with them, the three of us will still go see it."

"We've already come all this way, it would be such a waste to leave now. We've finally got a holiday, and we've already bought everything. If we go back, the staff dormitory won't let us stay there. Where are we going to stay?"

The thought of renting a hotel room, which costs two or three hundred yuan a night, is too much for their already low wages. They'd rather stay in a tent on the mountain.

The four encouraged each other and rode ahead, pushing their bicycles.

Seeing this, Lin Shuwen gave the others a wink, signaling them to hurry up and pack up and follow. They needed to get to the mountain as soon as possible to settle their luggage, and they didn't have time to waste at the foot of the mountain.

As Chen Yan rode her bike, the wind blowing on her face brought a refreshing coolness, which eased her anxiety and made her feel much more comfortable: "Yes, this kind of exercise is much more comfortable than going on a trip."

"Haha, that's right. Traveling is exhausting. Buying tickets and taking buses is tiring. And when you get to the tourist attractions, there are always crowds and it's mentally exhausting. It's much better to travel locally and enjoy the scenery."

"That's true. The four of us haven't been out having fun for a long time. We've been busy teaching, preparing lessons, and getting promoted every day. We've been worrying about this and that with our students. We've all aged quite a bit."

"you do not say."

A message came through with a ding-dong.

Chen Yan opened her phone and saw that it was a message from Lin Shuwen.

[Swallow, I'm sorry. Are you in a bad mood? You seem unwilling to talk to me. But what did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll definitely correct it.]

No, we just wanted the whole dorm to come out and watch the sunrise. It has nothing to do with you guys. We would have come even if it weren't for you. Don't overthink it.

Chen Yan kept thinking about the scrutinizing looks they had given her earlier, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

Okay, let's hurry up and ride our bikes up the mountain. We'll be busy setting up tents there.

After sending the message, they put their phones in their pockets and rode their bikes faster. They rode for two hours to reach the mountain, where they found other people setting up tents.

They exchanged a glance: "Looks like we're not the only ones who think it's tiring not to go home for the holidays, and coming up the mountain to watch the sunrise is a good idea too."

"Yes, let's find a good spot to pitch our tents before they catch up."

Yang Na looked around and saw a huge rock. Her eyes lit up and she pointed to it: "Sisters, look over there. That rock is naturally sheltered from the wind, and it's good enough to set up a tent on its back."

“Let’s go over there and set up. That spot is pretty good. I’ll go look for a cell phone signal. The signal is bad up in the mountains. I’ll see if there’s a place with a slightly better signal.”

"Otherwise, it would be so boring if we didn't have our phones to play with at night to kill time, don't you think?"

The three of them looked over at the same time, somewhat puzzled: "Nana, why would you want to set up a tent over by the rocks?"

Yang Na replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, my boyfriend taught me. He's a soldier, so when we go on vacation, he chooses safer, more secluded places to pitch his tent. That's his survival experience."

"That's what he told me anyway, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Having a big rock there makes you feel safer, and it's sheltered from the wind, which is easy to get windy on the mountaintop."

"That's true, it's not good if it's windy. Nana is really good; she's learned a lot from dating a soldier."

Having chosen their spots, the four of them got to work.

When Yang Shuwen and the others arrived, the four of them had already set up one tent and were on their way to set up another. By the time they finished, they were all sweating profusely and sat down on the rocks to rest.

"Phew, I'm so tired. Girls just don't have much stamina. What should we eat later? I'm craving spicy hot pot."

"Haha, let's eat that. It's best to finish the food we brought within three days. You guys cook, and I'll go build a makeshift toilet."

Chen Yan took out disposable tools, found several trees growing together, tied them together with a rope to form a simple rectangular frame, and then used a small shovel to dig a hole.

Well, a simple toilet will do.

After Yang Shuwen arrived and parked his bicycle, he came over and asked with concern, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"...Thank you, we're almost done here, you can go about your business."

"Alright then, just let me know if you need anything."

As Yang Shuwen spoke, he glanced at Chen Yan and smiled brightly, a smile that easily won people's favor.

Sure enough, a young girl soon came up to him, exchanged WeChat contacts, and they quickly became acquainted through chatting and laughing. Chen Yan, who was standing by the rock, watched all this and inexplicably lost interest.

Yang Na patted her on the shoulder: "Hey, you've already broken up before it even started. But this guy really isn't right for you. Look at how he's so flirtatious, he's not suited to be a good girl."

"If you can't handle him, you might as well find someone suitable for you. If you like soldiers, I'll have my partner introduce you to someone. Yanzi, Yang Shuwen isn't suitable."

Chen Yan understood what she meant, and nodded with a dimming look in her eyes: "I know, in just this short time, he added at least three girls on WeChat."

“I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t think he would be interested in me. Even if he were, I would have to be on guard against other women every day. Just thinking about it makes me want to have a heart attack. I should just give up and stop thinking about it.”

"We're out here to have fun, let's not think about anything else. Let's not let other people affect our mood, let's cook."

Yang Na nodded: "That makes sense. The most important thing is to be happy."

The self-heating pot cooked quickly, and the aroma spread across the mountaintop. The four of them sat around a rock, leisurely enjoying the hot pot, the gentle breeze carrying a faint floral fragrance—it was incredibly pleasant.

"Next holiday, let's go to a farmhouse again. It's a pity that I haven't been to many places while working in Kyoto."

"That's right, then it's settled."

"Yes, we have an appointment."

Yang Shuwen had just sat down on the folding stool when a girl came over to bring him food. After expressing his gratitude, she left, leaving a shadow in front of him. He looked up and met a pair of displeased eyes.

Cheng Fang exuded the charm of a mature woman, and at this moment she looked at him with jealousy, saying sourly, "Shuwen, you really attract young girls. Am I in the way?"

"Oh, no, Sister Cheng, you're joking. I'm just too embarrassed to refuse. I'll delete them when I get back. Sister Cheng knows best who I really have in my heart. Let's have a good talk tonight."

Upon hearing these incredibly ambiguous words, Cheng Fang blushed and gave a soft snort: "I'll settle the score with you tonight, you brat."
