Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

The next day, the car left Tokyo and large tracts of farmland appeared in sight.

Driving through vast expanses of corn is like walking on a green seabed. Beyond the cornfields, there are lush green wheat fields, where you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat waves.

Shiraizumi Masaru was concentrating on parking the car, Xiaolan and Sonoko fell asleep with their hands on the car windows, Tomoko in the passenger seat and Eri in the back seat were chatting casually.

"It's so beautiful." Tomoko Suzuki looked at the scenery outside the window with a relaxed and happy mood.

She turned around and said to Yingli in the back seat, "Yingli, what do you think? It's nice to go out once in a while. Wouldn't it be too boring to work every day?"

Kisaki Eri said: "No, work is my pleasure."

Suzuki Tomoko said, "Eri, I've urged you several times to come work in the legal department of our Suzuki Group. That way, we can hang out more often."

"I became a lawyer not only to make money, but also for my own interests," said Eri Kisaki.

Suzuki Tomoko said, "It's workaholics like this who are so desperate for men. Eri, you can't stay young forever. You need to plan for your future as soon as possible."

Kisaki Eri said, "Tomoko, you suddenly said something so outrageous. What exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly."

Suzuki Tomoko said, "Then I'll be frank. You should separate from Maori Kogoro. You have been separated for more than ten years and have never been in contact with each other. Ran has grown up."

Kisaki Eri said, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I just haven't met the right person... so I've been putting it off. Besides, how could a good man want a divorced woman like me?"

Suzuki Tomoko said: "That's not necessarily true. Eri, you are still very charming."

Feiyingli said: "There is no need to say more to please me."

Suzuki Tomoko said: "I am not giving you a cold shoulder."

Suzuki Tomoko patted Shirai's shoulder and said, "Shirai-kun, tell me, is Lawyer Hime attractive?"

Shiraizumi Masu said: "She is very charming. I studied law in college and I was fascinated by Kisaki Eri even then."

Shiraizumi Masu's words shocked both Suzuki Tomoko and Kisaki Eri.

Suzuki Tomoko said with a grin, "Hehe... Mr. Bai, you're so bold... Don't have any bad thoughts about Lawyer Fei, or I won't forgive you!"

Bai Quanyi said: "Aunt Suzuki, you misunderstood me. It's not what you think..."

Kisaki Eri's pretty face turned red, and she was silenced by Shirazumi Mashi.

143. Camping with two mother-daughter pairs

It was already afternoon when Tomoko and Sonoko woke up.

The two were too excited last night and didn't get enough rest, so they slept through the entire journey.

The parking lot was at the foot of a hill, and there was no one else there except them.

Bai Quanyi was wearing a blue sportswear, and the two pairs of mother and daughter were wearing the same yellow sportswear.

"We must climb the mountain before dark, then set up tents and cook!" said Tomoko Suzuki seriously.

A feeling arose that we had to return to the camp before the blizzard came, otherwise we would die in the snow.

"What happens after dark? Isn't there lighting?" Xiaolan asked.

"I'm just setting a goal." Suzuki Tomoko's expression relaxed and she said with a smile.

"I'm fine." Sonoko raised her hands happily.

On the other side, Shiraizumi Masaru and Kisaki Eri had already moved all the camping equipment out of the car.

"Please carry your own clothes and other personal belongings," said Hibiki Eri. "Shiro-kun, I'll have to ask you to take care of some of the heavy things."

"No problem." Bai Quanyi nodded.

"You should know what to pay attention to as well as I do, so let's not waste time. Then, mountaineering team, let's go!"

The five people entered the jungle from the trail entrance and officially stepped onto the mountain.

Walking in front, followed by Kisaki Eri, then Sonoko and Ran. To prevent accidents, Shiraizumi Masu walked at the end.

"The mountain road is very simple." Bai Quanyi looked at the dirt road trampled by people.

"How could we really go to such a dangerous primitive jungle? This is a commercial mountain climbing spot and tourist destination." Tomoko Suzuki, who was at the front, answered.

That being said, not long after, after the five people entered the mixed woods, the originally "artificial" road became a "natural" road - traces of human footsteps could still be seen, but rather than being trampled out, it was more like they had found a suitable foothold.

There is a small stream in the woods, and the bottom is clear.

They occasionally have to step on pebbles in the stream to move forward.

"There's water here, why don't we take a rest?" Yuanzi suggested.

"Sonoko," Suzuki Tomoko continued walking, "If we keep resting, we won't reach the campground before dark."

They had only been walking for a few minutes, but wasn't it natural to rest in a place with water and beautiful scenery?—This was just Yuanzi's wishful thinking.

The stream gurgles, and freshwater crabs, shrimps with long and thin claws, and small fish with transparent bodies occasionally jump out from under the rocks.

"Yuanzi, do you want some water?" Bai Quanyi asked after hearing the sound of water.

Yuanzi nodded: "Yes! I want to drink stream water."

Bai Quanyi stepped forward and helped Yuanzi take out a water cup from her backpack and filled it with stream water for her.

"Gululu..." Yuanzi drank it in big gulps, "It's so sweet."

Then, Yuanzi handed the cup of water to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you should drink some too."

Xiaolan nodded, picked up Yuanzi's water cup and took a sip: "It's really sweet."

On both sides were towering trees, casting thick shades on the roof. The three or four points of sunlight from the sky were divided into fragments and scattered on the ground, rocks, streams, and them.

Going up the stream, we came to a narrow path that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The narrow path was flattened, revealing bare soil, and occasionally one or two tufts of tenacious weeds would sprout somewhere.

On both sides of the narrow path, there were bushes, from which crickets and other insects occasionally popped out.

On both sides of the grass are tall and dense mixed trees.

Almost no one spoke, only the sound of footsteps and breathing.

Occasionally, in the woods, there could be the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

After walking for another half an hour, we finally reached the end of the narrow path and a flat land like a plateau.

"Let's rest here for a while." Tomoko Suzuki stopped and said while wiping the sweat off her face.

The five of them stopped and sat on their backpacks to rest.

Xiaolan took out a hairband, put it on her left wrist first, then used both hands to roll up her long hair and tied it into a ponytail.

The exposed snow-white and delicate neck is covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the youthful flesh is full of vital temptation.

Yuanzi sat down next to Baiquanyi and said, "Would you like some water? There's still some water left in my cup."

Bai Quanyi said, "No need, I have bottled water in my backpack."

Sonoko said, "The water in my cup is from the stream."

Bai Quanyi said, "Maybe the bottled water also uses stream water."

Sonoko said, "Eh? Is that so?"

Bai Quanyi said, "Yuanzi, is this mountain reserved for you? Why don't I see any other tourists?"

Sonoko said, "That's not the case. This mountain is a project of the Suzuki Group."

Shiraizumi said, "The Suzuki Group is truly a large and powerful company."

Sonoko said, "There's a lake on the top of the mountain. We're planning to build a hotel by the lake and a campground on this plain. Tourists can come here for hiking, camping, hot springs, and boating vacations."

"Has it been built?" Bai Quanyi asked curiously.

"It wasn't that fast. We had just finished planning and hadn't even drawn up the design," said Tomoko Suzuki. "The boats, toilets, and pools on the mountain were all built right after we decided to camp here."

Hime Eri sighed and said, "Tomoko, no matter how hard I work, I can never catch up with a big capitalist like you."

Suzuki Tomoko chuckled and said, "If you can catch up with capital as long as you work hard, can it still be called capital?"

After resting for ten minutes, they continued climbing the mountain, walking on the grassland that looked like a ridge.

Following the same pace, we finally arrived at our travel destination before dark.

This is a huge grassland, which also serves as an observation deck. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can overlook the entire town.

"Let's set up camp and then go to the hot springs!" Tomoko Suzuki was used to taking orders, and whatever she said was what went down along the way.

Bai Quanyi's tent was set up quickly, and then he helped the other two pairs of mothers and daughters set up four-person tents.

The tent for four people looks like a small house, while Bai Quanyi's is just an ordinary semicircle. However, the materials of both are very good, and ordinary wind and rain cannot do anything to them.

After setting up the tent, the five of them went to the hot spring with their spare clothes.

The hot spring has not been finely organized, but there are changing rooms and bamboo walls to block the view.

Bai Quanyi was soaking alone on the left side, listening to the women on the right commenting on each other's figures and the sound of water being poured on them while washing their bodies.

There was just a symbolic bamboo wall between us, so I could hear almost everything.

Because they were too tired and the hot springs were so comfortable, they stayed there until dark.

“I can see the stars so clearly.”

"You don't see this at all in Tokyo?"

At some point, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly said, "Shiro-kun, do you want to come over and take a bath with us? Mixed bathing is also possible!"

Baiquanyi said: "Aunt Suzuki, please stop teasing me."

Hibiki Eri also said, "Tomoko, please stop joking around. Really, you're already old, and you're still like this."

Xiaolan and Sonoko blushed and didn't say anything. If Baiquanyi wanted to come over, they would definitely not object.

By this time, Bai Quanyi had already changed his clothes and left.

He walked leisurely back to the campsite under the starlight.

First light the camping light hung on a long pole.

The light was warm, covering their small camping site like a pyramid, and was said to have an insect repellent effect.

He turned on the insect repellent, used the wood he had picked up to make a fire and boil water, then took out the ingredients for today that he had prepared in advance - he would have to deal with tomorrow's food himself.

For dinner, there was hot pot cooked on the gas stove and rice cooked in a lunch box.

These things require almost no cooking skills, just follow the process, Bai Quanyi can make them with confidence.

"smell good."

"After taking a bath, I can eat delicious food. It's so wonderful."

"Isn't it usually at home?"

"Huh? It seems so."

The four of them walked over with rosy complexions and graceful figures, so charming that (Wang Haozhao) couldn't take his eyes off them.

Under the starry sky and the light of camping lanterns, five people sat around the table eating hot pot, occasionally adding a bowl of rice.

The bonfire burned and burst with crackling sounds; the chirping of various insects in the mountains was like a symphony of nature.

This time I brought a lot of tools, such as tables, chairs, etc. If it weren’t for Bai Quanyi, I could only bring these things if I went camping by car.

Kisaki Eri also had to admit that, as Suzuki Tomoko said, Shiraizumi Masushi was very reliable and gave people a strong sense of comfort.

After dinner, Bai Quanyi used the water boiled on the campfire to make black tea for the two pairs of mother and daughter.

Shiraizumi Mashi handed the cup of water to Sonoko, Xiaolan, Tomoko, and Eri in turn.

As she handed it to Eri, she whispered, "Bai-kun, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Quanyi smiled and said, "Will Aunt Fei say gentle words to me? I thought Aunt Fei would just be harsh to me."

Fei Yingli's pretty face flushed slightly: "I'm not being gentle with you, don't be so sentimental, I'm just telling you the truth, you've really had a hard time on this trip."

Baiquan Yi smiled lightly, not taking Ki Eiri's prejudice against him to heart. She was Xiaolan's mother. Baiquan Yi liked Xiaolan, so naturally he had to be good to Xiaolan's mother.

144. Being attacked by Tomoko at night

The five of them sat on the empty plateau, drinking tea and chatting, occasionally looking at the starry sky and listening to the chirping of insects.
