Lin Yi and Li Jianguo have been working on starting a business these days, and they haven't even seen their roommates for a long time. However, when they came back this day, they found that the dormitory manager Zheng Xun still had the light on.
Lin Yi was surprised: "Old Zheng, haven't you slept yet?"
Zheng Xun stood up from the bed, walked over and whispered to them: "I've made a special trip to wait for you. Let me tell you something, Cui Xiaoxue and I will organize an autumn outing for the class to Xiangshan in two days. Do you want to come with us?"
"The red leaves of Fragrant Mountain..."
This is a famous scenic spot in the capital. If the autumn of Lin'an is hidden in the fragrance of osmanthus in Manjuelong, then the autumn colors of the capital must be found in the maple leaves of Xiangshan Mountain. It is said that great men were reluctant to move to the city because they were nostalgic for this red.
Zheng Xun's original question was just a matter of routine. Although these two people did not follow the usual path and rarely interacted with their classmates, they were his roommates after all and could not pretend that they did not exist.
He didn't even have hope, because listening to them discussing work in the dormitory was no longer full of enthusiasm for a day or two, and it was obvious that he went out early and came back late every day, which was indeed very hard.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Yi actually agreed after pondering for a while, but his doubts were soon answered.
"Can I bring a few more people?"
"Uh...who are you taking?"
"Friends who started a business together, we have all worked hard during this time. I am going to take you for a ride to do a team building. One senior sister, three peers, not counting Jianguo and I, there are four people in total."
Zheng Xun and the others chartered a bus for this class activity, with a total of forty seats. Although there were more than forty people in the second class of Economics, not everyone went. He calculated and said:
"There are enough empty seats in the car."
Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will help them share the fare."
The matter was settled just like that.
But two days later, Lin Yi actually brought five people to the event. In addition to his originally expected senior sister Li Moyan, and Shao Yu, Wang Yuqi and Zhang Xun who had just been included in the small entrepreneurial team, there was also Han Xue.
Li Moyan originally didn't want to go out to play with a group of freshman children, so he offered to stay behind.
"Who will take care of the website when we all leave? What if something unexpected happens? How about I stay and watch?"
Lin Yi admired her sense of responsibility very much, but still reassured her: "It's just because everyone is too tense during this period, so we need to come out for some air and adjust, so that we can be more efficient when we go back."
Li Moyan had no choice but to agree, but after she revealed the news to Han Xue, Senior Sister Han also clamored to join her. Li Moyan thought that he would have a companion on the road, so he agreed.
Although the appearance of the two of them did not cause any commotion, there were still many classmates peeking over.
The appearance of these two beauties together was eye-catching enough, and many people who attended the student union could recognize them, and some even came over to say hello. They all said "Hello, Senior Sister Li" and "Senior Sister Han".
“Okay” voices echoed endlessly.
Huang Tao, who had made a bet with Lin Yi last time, was also in the crowd. He was very unhappy that Lin Yi had brought two beautiful senior sisters here. He thought to himself that he must be stealing the limelight from him.
The guy met Lin Yi's eyes and snorted disdainfully.
I don't know what happened to his so-called love self-service store. Lin Yi didn't pay attention to it at all during this period and had completely forgotten it.
If it's not already yellow, it's about to turn yellow.
Ignoring this autumn grasshopper, Lin Yi and his men immediately got into the car.
Along the way, Shao Yu was a little reserved because he was not from the same school, while Wang Yuqi was very excited as this was the first time she went out to play in a group after arriving in the capital. She was with her most beloved senior sister Mo Yan.
As for Zhang Xun, he thought that being invited this time should be considered as "one of his own" by Lin Yi and others, so he was very happy.
Xiangshan is in the northwest of the capital, and Haidian itself is in the west of the city, so the bus didn't drive for too long before the two groups of people were put together and sent to the foot of Xiangshan.
After getting off the bus, it was time to climb the mountain. Lin Yi and his small group hung behind the large class troops led by Zheng Xun and Cui Xiaoxue.
The reason why I want to ride with them is that I can save myself the trouble of checking the route and making a guide. Now I just need to follow along.
Mid-November is considered the end of the maple viewing season in Xiangshan. If they arrive a little later, they may not be able to catch up this year.
It's better to come later than later, the leaves are all red.
The group of people were strolling on the stone steps covered with fallen leaves. Looking up, they could see towering ancient trees that are more than two hundred years old. The warm autumn sun formed mottled and hazy light and shadow through the dense shade of the trees. Only a few of them were visible.
The light luckily fell to the ground through those gaps.
Looking into the distance, the mountains and plains are filled with gorgeous and wanton red, which makes people feel that a kind of vigorous vitality is blooming freely there, like the rich and colorful paintings of a bold painter.
Regardless of whether they came willingly or not, at this moment everyone is immersed in the magical natural scenery.
Although they have deliberately avoided weekends and chosen to visit on weekdays, there is still a huge flow of people up and down the mountain.
The group spent half an hour climbing halfway up the mountain, and then rested briefly here.
Zheng Xun and Cui Xiaoxue discussed a plan to divide their forces, because some students were too exhausted to continue moving forward. After all, the purpose of today was not to climb high, and there was no need to compete with the mountain.
This group of people was led by Cui Xiaoxue to rest here.
The remaining ones who were strong and wanted to go to the top of the mountain were led by Zheng Xun and continued upwards. After they turned back to meet up, they returned to the parking lot together.
Among Lin Yi's small team, the weakest ones were Wang Yuqi and Han Xue. They voluntarily gave up on climbing and stayed here with Lin Yi's classmates.
Not to mention the challengers who had too much energy to climb the peak, Wang Yuqi, who had withdrawn from the team, wandered around the rest area halfway up the mountain and came to Cui Xiaoxue's side.
One of them is the league secretary of the second class of the accounting department, and the other was an activist in the public relations department of the college, and they met during the activities.
"Hey, Yuqi, why did you start a business with Lin Yi and the others?" Cui Xiaoxue didn't pay any special attention to Lin Yi, she was just curious about this combination.
Wang Yuqi said in a very proud tone: "Of course I am following Senior Sister Mo Yan. There are so many people in the public relations department, but she only took me to start a business!"
This is also what makes Cui Xiaoxue strange: "Why is Senior Sister Li also in there? It seemed like there were only the two of them in the beginning?"
Wang Yuqi actually just went to one or two meetings just now, mainly to follow Li Moyan's instructions. Lin Yi and the others didn't explain it specifically, so she only knew that this team was composed of three partners.
She replied casually: "I heard that Senior Sister Mo Yan is Li Jianguo's cousin, right? But I feel that Senior Sister Mo Yan also listens to Lin Yi on many things. Although he is at the same level as us, I always feel like he is a senior brother."
"Sister Li, do you listen to Lin Yi?"
Cui Xiaoxue was even more surprised by these words. It was already half a semester since the beginning of the semester. Of course she knew that Li Moyan, the director of the Public Relations Department, was a celebrity in the student union and was rumored to be the candidate for the next chairman.
How could she listen to Lin Yi?
At this moment, small fragments of the past flashed through her mind, and she suddenly had a bold idea: "Senior Sister Li can't be Lin Yi's girlfriend, right?"
Lin Yi has a girlfriend. This was what Li Jianguo told her at the beginning. The implication was to advise her not to have any thoughts about Lin Yi.
If he was just Lin Yi's roommate, he shouldn't have said this in the first place. Unless the girlfriend was his sister, it would make sense.
Wang Yuqi was startled by these words: "Ah? Really? How did you know?"
Although Cui Xiaoxue felt that her guess had some basis, she still did not share it directly with Wang Yuqi because she could not explain why Li Jianguo said that to her at that time.
So she casually muttered a few words to cover it up.
The two girls, who were concentrating on chatting and gossiping, didn't notice that a woman who was good at flashing from behind was walking by.
