Chapter 40 -39: Who Would Have Thought

The trip to the mountain went very smoothly.

Upon arrival, the men took the initiative to take on the task of pitching the tents.

The female comrades busied themselves with lighter tasks, such as handing over items, preparing lunch, or taking photos.

In everyone’s camera lenses, the person who appeared most frequently was undoubtedly Shen Jinghe.

Wenyan also took several photos of him.

But unlike others who took photos of Shen Jinghe for admiration and reminiscing, or perhaps for a check-in on social media,

she was doing it to relieve Su Yang’s longing.

Sure enough, as soon as Wenyan sent the photos to Su Yang, she replied instantly.

‘Didn’t you say you were in training, how come it looks like you’re in the wild and have started shooting already?’

‘No shooting, we’re taking a day off today, the director took us to see a meteor shower!!’

‘So you’re going to spend the night outdoors? You must be careful, you know. Did you bring all the mosquito repellent and such I had the assistant prepare for you?’

‘I brought it, don’t worry Mom. Hehe, I’ll secretly snap a few more photos for you. Big bro is pitching tents by himself, something you’ve never seen before, right? Sneaky smile JPG.’

‘I haven’t, indeed a rare sight. But don’t just focus on taking pictures of that little rascal, Mom also wants to see you.’

Wenyan quickly replied with an ‘OK’ emoji, then continued to aim her camera at Shen Jinghe.

At Su Yang’s request, Wenyan specifically created a long-distance ‘combo shot’ with Shen Jinghe.

Using the background to her advantage, she stretched out two fingers to form a pinching gesture and ‘pinched’ Shen Jinghe’s handsome face between them.

When Wenyan returned to WeChat to send the photo to Su Yang, she found she had been added to a three-person group by Su Yang.

Group name: Our Family

Group admin: Su Yang

Group members: Shen Yuan, Wenyan

Su Yang also explained in the group: ‘Yanyan, just send the photos here, so I don’t have to forward them to your dad.’

Wenyan immediately sent all the photos to the group.

When she sent the last photo of herself with Shen Jinghe, Su Yang was particularly supportive.

‘Our Yanyan is so beautiful.’

Shen Yuan replied instantly: Thumbs up JPG.

Wenyan: Who would have thought, the chairman of the multibillion-dollar Shen Group, just to get a glimpse of his son, would sneakily send Minion emojis in the family group chat during work hours.

The mountain air was fresh and the scenery beautiful, a huge natural oxygen bar.

After lunch and tent-pitching, everyone split into groups and engaged in various activities.

The director, along with Shen Jinghe and a few other crew members, found a good spot to go fishing.

Wenyan and Wang Che chose to go hiking with some others, while a few stayed at the campsite, brewing tea over a fire and chatting.

Everyone found their own way to have fun and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Wenyan and her group also returned to the campsite before dark.

Thanks to the director and Shen Jinghe, dinner included a bonus dish of grilled fish.

Although the natural grilled fish didn’t taste that great and the meteor shower only had a few sparse streaks, being far from the hustle and bustle of the city and getting to relax and connect with nature, everyone was in high spirits.

Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, and around three or four in the morning, a heavy rain suddenly began to pour.

The ground quickly soaked through, forcing everyone to return to their vehicles to avoid the rain.

To prevent chaos, the director instructed everyone to get into their vehicles according to the arrangements made earlier in the day.

Everyone agreed with this, as some people had left their bags and personal items in the original vehicles.

As Wenyan ran to the side of Shen Jinghe’s car in the rain, he was just closing the door to leave.

Seeing this, Wenyan hurried over to him and shouted, “Where are you going? It’s pouring down with rain.”

Shen Jinghe glanced at the huge unknown leaf she held above her head as a makeshift umbrella and silently put his folded umbrella back.

“Get in the car!”

Seeing that Shen Jinghe was also ready to get into the driver’s seat, Wenyan quickly said, “You’re not going? You can use this to keep the rain off.”

As she spoke, she passed the large leaf in her hand to Shen Jinghe.

It really was a gigantic leaf, larger than the size of both their heads combined.

“Throw it away,” Shen Jinghe was genuinely curious, “where did you get this thing from?”

“Picked it up on the way up the mountain. It was so huge and unlike anything I’ve seen before, I thought I’d bring it back. Didn’t expect it to actually come in handy. By the way, what were you about to do just now?”

Shen Jinghe would absolutely never admit that he was about to use an umbrella to go look for her.

He just saw that the rain was too heavy, and just so happened to have a folding umbrella in this car’s toolbox.

“You seem a bit too interested, and I’m under no obligation to answer you.”

The silent Wenyan: [Dead tsundere]

“…” This Wenyan!

Shen Jinghe thought about it and decided to let it go, “Hurry up and sleep. The entire back seat is yours.”

In this regard, Shen Jinghe was indeed not wrong.

Most of the others were four to a car, but there were only two of them in this car.

However, as soon as Wenyan laid down, she suddenly lost all sleepiness.

“Hey, superstar, can we chat for a bit?”

“Don’t call me superstar.”

“Alright, second brother, I wanted to ask you—”

“Shut up, if you’re not sleeping, I need to.”

“…”

After Shen Jinghe said that, all he was met with was silence.

There were no sounds of talking, nor Wenyan’s inner monologue.

Not hearing Wenyan’s commentary, Shen Jinghe felt somewhat unaccustomed for a moment.

He even turned around to check on her.

As a result, Wenyan suddenly sat up with an ‘ah’ and pulled a scary face to frighten him.

‘Damn it…’ Shen Jinghe cursed inwardly, as he genuinely got startled by her.

Thankfully, he didn’t show it on his face.

He just impassively said, “Childish!”

Wenyan laughed heartily, “You were scared, weren’t you? You definitely got scared.”

Shen Jinghe couldn’t be bothered with her and simply closed his eyes.

But this, at least, made the atmosphere in the car less awkward.

It seemed that this guy was still somewhat useful after all.

–

When Wenyan opened her eyes again, it was already past seven in the morning the next day.

She stretched and sat up, noticing that it was still drizzling outside, and many people had already gotten up and were packing their tents.

After finding a secluded spot to take care of her physiological needs, she quickly came back to help.

About half an hour of busyness later, all their belongings were packed into the car.

On the way back, Shen Jinghe’s car was at the very end of the convoy.

Due to the overnight rain, the mountain road had become extremely muddy, and with the rain getting heavier, the cars quickly became separated from each other.

As they reached a certain intersection, a car suddenly emerged from a side road and drove ahead of Shen Jinghe.

To make matters worse, the car in front of them stalled halfway through.

The car blocked the road, and they couldn’t move; Shen Jinghe and Wenyan were stuck too.

After what felt like an eternity waiting for that car to start moving, the director’s phone call suddenly came through.

“Jinghe, where are you guys? Did you fall behind?”

“Ran into a bit of trouble on the road, what’s up?”
