Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xing quickly walked to Shi Xiaxia's side, lowered his head, and whispered something to her.

Shi Xiaxia seemed annoyed with Zhu Xing and quickly walked away again.

Seeing all this, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but feel a tear welling up in her eyes, which gradually became moist.

She and Zhao Wu once shared such sweet moments.

Actually, Zhao Wu's inability to work out was a good thing for Su Zhizhi.

After all, this way, Zhao Wu would no longer be able to get entangled with other women.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi felt a sense of comfort and her mood gradually calmed down.

No matter what kind of retribution awaits her in the future, Zhao Wu can no longer leave her and has no choice but to stay with her forever.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi was filled with joy and smiled brightly.

She happily sat around the table with everyone, enjoying the delicious food.

Everyone chatted happily, and even the usually serious Cheng Yajun was infected by the joyful atmosphere, her face beaming with a pleasant smile.

After the meal, Hua Ye abruptly spoke up, saying that she could no longer travel with Shi Xiaxia's group.

Hua Ye said that the four of them had already planned their itinerary and intended to continue their travels as originally planned.

Hua Ye's words surprised everyone present, and Song Yifeng couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

However, Su Zhizhi and Zhao Wu did not raise any objections, after all, they also had their own secrets.

They were afraid that Zhu Xing would say it directly.

After saying goodbye to each other, the two teams embarked on their own journeys.

Shi Xiaxia and the others quickly packed their belongings, shouldered their bags, and set off into the mountains once again.

......

The group walked on until evening before stopping.

After having a simple dinner, everyone began looking for a suitable place to set up tents for the night.

The six people quickly found a relatively flat spot and began setting up their tents.

Shi Xiaxia went to Zhu Xing to get her backpack so she could set up the tent, but Zhu Xing refused to give it back and insisted on helping her set it up.

Shi Xiaxia thought that since Zhu Xing was willing to help, she might as well let him do his thing, so she didn't say anything more.

However, just as Zhu Xing was setting up the tent, a sudden exclamation rang out—

"oops!"

Zhu Xing tripped dramatically over a protruding tree root, which resulted in Shi Xiaxia's tent being torn with a large hole.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Xiaxia, I'm so clumsy."

As Zhu Xing spoke, there was not a trace of apology on his face; instead, he wore a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with the smugness of someone who had succeeded.

Looking at Shi Xiaxia, he said, "How about this? I'll just have to make do with sharing a tent with you tonight, okay?!"

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

They've got their hands on me!

Shi Xiaxia knew that she had been tricked by Zhu Xing again, but she remained expressionless and silent.

At that moment, she really wanted to rush up and tear Zhu Xing's smug face to shreds!

Shi Xiaxia sneered, then turned to Cheng Yajun beside her and asked softly, "Sister, can I sleep with you tonight? That guy deliberately ruined my tent."

"can."

Cheng Yajun looked at Zhu Xing with displeasure, so she immediately agreed.

Zhu Xing shrugged when he saw Shi Xiaxia lying down with Cheng Yajun.

Thinking to himself: "Sigh, what a pity, my perfect plan didn't work out."

"Big......"

Just as Liu Shang was about to speak, he noticed Zhu Xing's cold gaze and quickly said with a forced smile, "Sorry, sorry, um... the tent is ready, why don't you go and rest?"

"Hmm." Zhu Xing glanced at Shi Xiaxia again, then turned and went into the tent.

At this moment, Shi Xiaxia also entered the tent that Cheng Yajun had just set up, carrying her things.

The tent Cheng Yajun bought wasn't very big, but luckily both she and Shi Xiaxia were quite slim, so they didn't feel cramped when they lay down inside.

After entering the tent, Cheng Yajun closed her eyes, seemingly asleep, without saying a word.

However, just over ten minutes later, she opened her eyes and whispered, "Xiaxia, are you asleep?"

"No," Shi Xiaxia replied softly in return.

"What do you think of Zhu Xing?" Cheng Yajun asked curiously.

Shi Xiaxia was a little surprised. She originally thought that Cheng Yajun would bring up the matter between her and Deng Mingzhou, but she did not expect the topic to turn to her.

She answered softly, "I don't feel anything."

Cheng Yajun sighed softly and said earnestly, "Young girls are always easily attracted to men who are a little bad or a little rascal, which is understandable."

But as a man, you must have a sense of responsibility. If you have special feelings for him, you must think it through carefully. I'm giving you this advice as someone who's been through it, and I hope you don't find it annoying.

Shi Xiaxia sincerely thanked her: "Yes, thank you."

After that, Cheng Yajun stopped speaking, and the tent fell silent once again.

After about ten minutes, Cheng Yajun suddenly broke the silence, saying in a calm but confused tone, "When Deng Mingzhou and I were getting a divorce, my friends and relatives all opposed my decision."

They felt that Deng Mingzhou's one or two infidelities weren't an unforgivable mistake. After all, Deng Mingzhou was a family-oriented person with no other major problems, unlike those who were alcoholics, domestic abusers, or gamblers.

They all think... the divorce is entirely my fault.

Shi Xiaxia listened silently without saying a word.

Yes, that's just how the world is.

Men who cheat, drink, commit domestic violence, or are irresponsible towards their families are taken for granted, and no one blames them.

If a man doesn't cheat, doesn't drink, doesn't beat his wife, and can still take care of his children and do housework, people will say he's a good man.

But isn't this what a husband and father should do?

Why does society now regard it as a virtue?!

Is it housewives who are sick, or is it society that is sick?!

Shi Xiaxia asked, "Then, sister... what are you really thinking?"

Upon hearing Shi Xiaxia's words, Cheng Yajun burst into tears. She exclaimed, "I want a divorce! I will never compromise on this! I should be in charge of my own life!"

Shi Xiaxia nodded gently: "Yes, sister, you will get what you wish for. Your life has just begun, and there are many wonderful things waiting for you."

However, when Cheng Yajun heard Shi Xiaxia's encouragement, she suddenly burst into tears.

Her cries were filled with endless sorrow and grievance, as if she were releasing all the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for many years.
