After finishing breakfast, the group returned to their rooms to discuss.
"Snow Mountain and Sky Lake are not far apart. We can visit these two places this morning."
"What about the afternoon?" Zhou Jiaxin looked at the card with only one checked tourist attraction with a headache. "There are too many attractions. I feel like we'll need to use them all night."
Fang Miaomiao and Cui Mantong exchanged glances and decisively chose the hot spring for tonight. "The temperature in K City at night is only around ten degrees Celsius. We can soak in the hot springs tonight. This way, everyone can save themselves the trouble of soaking their feet when they return at night. Everyone can go directly back to the hotel to sleep from the hot springs."
"Then in the afternoon, let's go to Mingcheng. Mingcheng is close to the hot springs. After we finish exploring Mingcheng, we'll have dinner, then go to the hot springs, and finally return to the hotel to sleep."
Chen Huan nodded, "I have no problem with that."
"Then it's a happy decision."
After Fang Miaomiao and the others confirmed that the tourism staff wouldn't charge them, they decisively hired two cars.
She and Cui Mantong took one car, and Zhou Jiaxin and Chen Huan took another.
[No, why are Senior Zhou and Chen Huan, a civilian, in the same car? How are Cui Mantong and Fang Miaomiao arranged? Isn't this just forming cliques and isolating Senior Zhou?]
[What nonsense? Dare you to meet offline, I'll beat you to death. Did you watch the show? Didn't you hear that Jiaxin, the movie queen, chose to be in the same car with Chen Huan voluntarily? And what's wrong with Chen Huan being a civilian? Did civilians offend you? You might not even be a person yourself, and you look down on others. It's really laughable.]
[I just block these kinds of comments. People like this are clearly professional haters, trying to sow discord. They think we're still viewers from the first few episodes. We're not stupid, we have the ability to think.]
The cars drove for more than two hours.
The sky turned azure, with blue skies and white clouds. The children in the car couldn't take their eyes off it.
"It's so beautiful! I see so many birds flying in the sky. Wow, it's so beautiful. Nannan, look quickly."
The two little ones, leaning by the window, stared intently at the scenery outside.
"Nannan, Yuanyuan." Zhou Jiaxin, in the passenger seat, saw the two children's excited expressions and quickly reminded them, "Don't stick your hands or heads out of the window, okay?"
"Okay, Mom. Nannan and I won't stick our hands or heads out."
Unlike the two little ones, He Ye Nan, who were happily discussing the scenery outside, Wen Yan'an and Cui Yongsi were much quieter. They were playing with Rubik's Cubes at high speed.
"Tsk, why do these two little guys give off the impression they're competing?"
Fang Miaomiao chuckled, "Miss Cui Mantong, is it possible that you praised An'an this morning?"
"Did I? I don't remember that. Classmate Miaomiao, don't slander me."
"Hahaha, Sisi, An'an, go for it! Whoever wins today will take photos for me and Tong Tong."
As soon as Fang Miaomiao finished speaking, the two in the back row decisively scrambled the remaining steps and put down their Rubik's Cubes.
"Oh, not competing anymore?" Fang Miaomiao said teasingly.
Hmph, these two little ones, they really thought she couldn't handle them.
The two cars chatted and laughed.
Soon, they arrived at their destination, Snow Mountain.
"Mom, it's July. Will there really be snow on the mountain?" Wen Yan'an held Fang Miaomiao's hand and tilted his head back to look up.
The mountain towered into the clouds.
"Who says we have to see snow to climb Snow Mountain?" Fang Miaomiao said righteously. "Being able to climb up is a great accomplishment, okay? There's no need to dwell on something that doesn't need to be dwelled upon."
Wen Yan'an: "..."
Mom's logic was a bit profound, as if she said something but also said nothing.
"Children," Fang Miaomiao stepped forward, pointing to the snow-capped mountain towering into the clouds, "Let us conquer Snow Mountain today."
Wen Yan'an felt the surrounding gazes and took a step back. Why was there a sudden awkward atmosphere?
"Pfft hahaha, classmate Fang Miaomiao, are you a comedian?" Cui Mantong couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You almost made my stomach hurt from laughing."
"Cough, cough." Fang Miaomiao awkwardly touched her nose. Why did she suddenly seem like a comedian? Adhering to the principle of "If I'm not embarrassed, then whoever is embarrassed is someone else," she stood up straight decisively. "Let's climb the mountain, let's climb."
Several people laughed heartily and finally followed Fang Miaomiao's footsteps.
Snow Mountain is K City's most dazzling scenic spot, with an altitude of over 4,000 meters. It boasts precipitous, strange, and beautiful scenery. From a distance, it looks like it's clad in silver, with continuous snow-capped peaks.
[Wow, this place is really worth recommending. Last time I went with my friend, we really wanted to give up all the way. In the end, we only managed to climb up with mutual encouragement from friends and cheers from others. But the moment we finally climbed up, you felt that all your previous hard work was worth it.]
[Ahhh, this is my hometown. I climb it every summer vacation. It's a pity I had something to do this year and couldn't go. Climbing Snow Mountain once really makes you feel like there's no obstacle in life that you can't overcome. There are too many hardships in the world. When you overcome them and look back, you'll realize, damn it, it was really tiring.]
[After listening to the previous comment, it's like they didn't say anything at all. However, looking at the scenery of Snow Mountain through the drone, I really think it's beautiful, and it's a majestic beauty. I must go climb it when I have time.]
[Tsk, so boring. You're all looking at the scenery, and we're already guessing who will be able to climb it.]
The live broadcast room buzzed with discussions about who would successfully reach the summit.
"Is Chen Tianming trying to kill us?" Cui Mantong said weakly. "How long have we been walking?"
"About twenty minutes," Zhou Jiaxin's breathing was a little ragged.
"I feel like I've been climbing for over an hour."
"Persist," Chen Huan said.
"Persist, persist."
Cui Mantong encouraged herself.
The group encouraged each other and climbed for another forty minutes.
Altitude sickness also began to appear.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't." Cui Mantong slumped to the ground. "I'm so tired, I feel like I can't breathe."
"I can't walk anymore either," Zhou Jiaxin said with a wry smile. She felt it was a miracle that she had made it this far.
Not only Zhou Jiaxin and the other woman, but the children's faces also started to turn pale. Especially Nannan, who could only hold an oxygen tube.
"Chen Tianming, are you trying to play us to death?"
At the foot of Snow Mountain, Chen Tianming saw this scene and frowned slightly, communicating with the cameraman above.
"The director said that those who can't persist can go back, but one of you must climb to the top for the Snow Mountain task to be completed."
"I'll go."
"I'll go."
Fang Miaomiao and Chen Huan said in unison.
"Miaomiao?" Cui Mantong looked at Fang Miaomiao's pale face, a little worried. "How about we give up on this task?"
Fang Miaomiao shook her head and stepped forward to hug Cui Mantong. "Sister Mantong, I'm fine. Now that we've reached this point, I want to go up."
She didn't want to give up.
