The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Chapter 97 I almost let it slip! My identity as a reborn person was exposed!

Is it reasonable to bring socks when hiking or camping?

Of course it makes sense.

But that also depends on what kind of socks you're wearing.

Who brings those kinds of socks to camping?!

Lin Ran's inner chibi miniature figure slammed the table in anger, roaring like an evil dragon.

of course.

I only dared to scream like that in my heart.

Looking at the back of his classmate, the school beauty, who had already boarded the bus, someone couldn't help but feel a headache and helplessness.

Lately, he seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to resist the "offensive" of his school beauty deskmate.

Continue like this……

His unwavering resolve is about to fail!

more importantly--

They knew perfectly well that the other party was deliberately "provoking" them.

Ironically, he actually kind of wanted to watch it...

even.

As he stared at the backpack the girl was carrying, only one thought kept nagging at his mind:

So what style of socks did the school beauty's deskmate wear?

……

We traveled by car all the way to the foot of Jade Mountain.

The four of them carried large and small bags of luggage and supplies as they climbed the mountain path.

Yunan County gets its name from its location south of Yushan Mountain.

The mountain is covered with lush trees and has a tranquil environment. Taking a deep breath, you feel refreshed and relaxed, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar.

Half an hour later.

All four of them were slightly out of breath and sweating a little.

They successfully arrived at a clearing in the woods halfway up the mountain.

After putting down his luggage and tools, Zhao Ke immediately became animated and started making arrangements:

"Ran and I will set up the tent first."

"Tingting and the class monitor went to find some wood and firewood."

"Let's start cooking right away! Get ready to prepare the meal!"

So the four of them split into groups and each started working.

They brought two tents for this camping trip, and Lin Ran and Zhao Ke each took one and began assembling and setting them up.

In her previous life, Lin Ran had organized outdoor activities with her colleagues after starting work and had camping experience.

So assembling and setting up the tent was a breeze.

In contrast, Zhao Ke—

At first, I was confident that I didn't need the instruction manual or diagrams.

As a result, a flurry of activity ensued.

Various errors occurred.

When Su Qingyan and Yuan Tingting returned carrying a pile of dead wood and branches.

Lin Ran's tent is already set up.

Meanwhile, the tent that Zhao Ke was in charge of was still lying limply on the ground, completely shapeless.

"With your skill level, you dare to call yourself an outdoor expert?"

Yuan Tingting gave her boyfriend a look of disdain, then turned to look at the tent Lin Ran had set up, praising it with some surprise:

"Lin Ran built it so fast!"

Have you ever camped before?

Lin Ran smiled and waved his hand:

"No."

"I came later—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong and he almost gave himself away.

He noticed that Su Qingyan, Yuan Tingting, and Zhao Ke were looking at him with puzzled expressions.

In a moment of quick thinking, someone changed their tune and started singing:

"I've finally learned how to love, but you've already gone far away and disappeared into the sea of people..."

A song called "Later".

It came unexpectedly, and I'm offering it with all my heart.

The three people next to him were completely dumbfounded: "?"

The person remained calm and composed: "Oh, it's nothing, I just suddenly felt like singing."

……

Complete the setup of your tent.

Lin Ran then turned around and helped Zhao Ke assemble his tent as well.

The two of them worked together to build it.

The two girls had already gathered enough firewood.

Some of the large, dead trees needed to be split into thinner strips using the small axe we brought.

Yuan Tingting picked up the small axe and tried it out a couple of times.

The result was either that they missed the target or they didn't have enough strength to split the wood in half.

Zhao Ke saw this and immediately volunteered:

"Tingting, just leave it alone."

"I'll chop it up after I finish setting up the tent!"

But at that moment, Su Qingyan's voice rang out:

"Need not."

"Let me do it."

Then the girl stepped forward, picked up the axe, held it with both hands, and stood still, her movements and posture were extremely standard.

Taking a light breath, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

The axe was raised, then swiftly and precisely chopped down on the block of wood.

Snap! —

The wooden block split in two with a snap.

Zhao Ke stared wide-eyed:

"What the hell!?"

Then came the second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

The girl chopped wood with fluid grace, completing the task in one go, her movements crisp and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

In no time, he chopped all the firewood he had collected into thin strips and piled them up.

But looking at the girl again, she was still not red-faced or out of breath, as if she had just done something very simple.

Zhao Ke was shocked: "Squad leader, you had this trick up your sleeve?!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but look at her classmate, the school beauty, with slight surprise.

Su Qingyan smiled slightly.

In her past life, she was also an outdoor travel enthusiast, and a professional at it.

He has gone hiking and camping alone countless times.

Although I'm not very steady with a knife in the kitchen.

But setting up tents and chopping wood to start a fire.

But it's a piece of cake.

Yuan Tingting looked at her best friend, somewhat incredulous:

"Qingyan, I never knew you could do these things before—"

Su Qingyan shook her head naturally:

"I didn't used to, it was only later—"

Halfway through her sentence, the girl also froze, suddenly realizing she had almost let something slip.

He immediately changed his tune:

"I finally understood through tears that some people, once missed, are gone forever."

They started singing too...

Lin Ran, Zhao Ke, and Yuan Tingting: "??"

The girl forced herself to remain calm, pretending nothing was wrong:

"Oh."

"I also think this song is quite nice."

Zhao Ke and Yuan Tingting looked at Su Qingyan suspiciously, then at Lin Ran:

"You two... really have great chemistry."

The man and the girl exchanged a glance, both feeling slightly guilty.

"Ah, yes, yes..."

"It makes sense for deskmates to be in sync, right?"

Meanwhile, the chibi-style miniature figures in their hearts were patting their chests with relief, looking utterly relieved.

【so far so good. 】

[I almost gave myself away... I was about to reveal that I'm a reincarnated person!]

……

The tent was set up, and a pile of firewood was chopped up.

Next, the four of them started a fire and cooked.

To make things easier, the group prepared the food in advance for this camping trip.

It mainly consisted of corn and sweet potatoes that were easy to grill, a few packets of instant noodles, and some ready-made kebabs bought from the store.

Lin Ran found some stones and built two makeshift fire pits.

Then stuff the wooden blocks and dry branches inside, leaving gaps, and then light them with a lighter.

Zhao Ke stood by, offering his opinions with an air of seriousness:

"Well, actually, making fire by rubbing sticks together is more primitive."

"Using a lighter just doesn't quite capture the essence."

Lin Ran glanced sideways at her best friend:

"Then you can have 'Yi Si' later, and we'll have barbecue."

Two campfires.

A small pot was placed on top, and several packets of instant noodles were thrown in and left to boil.

The other one was a specially brought grill, where skewers were placed one by one, brushed with oil, and slowly turned over to grill, avoiding the open flame.

Lin Ran casually tossed a few sweet potatoes and potatoes into the fire.

We didn't wrap it in tin foil, but camping in this day and age wasn't about being fancy or particular.

The group sat around the fire, chatting idly while waiting for the meal to be served.

The bright sunshine of July in the height of summer shines down.

The trees on Jade Mountain cast dappled shadows, their verdant branches swaying in the gentle breeze.

Two pairs of young boys and girls sat side by side on the ground, chatting and laughing, enjoying this rare moment of natural beauty.

This alone constitutes a timeless and expressive picture of youth.

It is embarrassing.

It also evokes feelings of nostalgia and longing.

……

The group chatted and laughed, and when they felt hungry, they ate some snacks to tide them over.

Lin Ran was the busiest person at this moment.

One person was tending to two fires.

You need to flip the skewers every now and then to avoid burning them.

We need to keep an eye on the fire's intensity over there, and add some more firewood or a stone to block the wind.

Even with his extensive camping experience from his previous life, he still broke out in a slight sweat as the heat from the two campfires hit him.

Su Qingyan glanced over and saw this scene.

Then the girl naturally shifted her body and sat closer to someone:

"Is it hot?"

Lin Ran raised his elbow and wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"It's okay."

Glancing at my classmate, the school beauty, who had moved over, I kindly offered a word of advice:

"You should sit back down. It's facing the fire here, so it's hot."

The girl's expression was calm and composed:

You're sweating.

"Let me wipe it for you."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Lin Ran's reaction or refusal.

Su Qingyan had already taken out a wet wipe from her small bag, and her fair and slender arm reached out to help wipe Lin Ran's forehead with perfect naturalness.

The young man, busy starting a fire and cooking, is handsome and focused.

A pure and beautiful young girl was by his side, taking meticulous care of him and tenderly wiping away his sweat.

This scene came into view.

It was equally moving.

Even the young couple sitting next to them, Zhao Ke and Yuan Tingting, couldn't help but have hearts in their eyes:

"So sweet!"

Lin Ran was momentarily stunned and subconsciously looked at the school beauty's deskmate, but the latter looked completely unfazed:

"Don't get me wrong—"

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhao Ke, sitting opposite him, interrupted him, saying:

"Hey, deskmate, what's wrong with wiping your sweat?"

"Wife, you agree, right?"
