Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 177: Understanding the Love Rivals

"Think...have you figured out a way?"

Han Zhou was startled by Noila Mo's words.

"You seem nervous?"

Noila Mo glanced at him and put on her mask and snow goggles again. Perhaps because she felt a little cold, she shrank her neck into her scarf.

"To be precise, it should be an accident..."

Han Zhou was indeed a little surprised. With Mo Yixia's acting style, he was full of worries about the "method" mentioned by this guy...

When he was about to ask, he saw Xiao Yuyan trotting over and reminded: "Han Zhou, how are you resting? It's time to set off!"

"Got it, here we come!"

Han Zhou responded, put on his backpack and stood up. Although Noila Mo was also ready, she sat where she was and did not move. She just raised her right hand like a queen mother.

Han Zhou sighed and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

Xiao Yuyan glanced at the two of them strangely and said, "The guide said that the next road is not easy to walk, so you should pay more attention."

"understood."

Han Zhou nodded and saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Sister Yuyan? Is there anything else?"

"that……"

"You want us to get along well with your friends, and by the way, apologize to us for that person named Chen Xiang." Noila Mo saw her thoughts at a glance, "If I guessed correctly, you also just You’ve been apologizing to your friends on our behalf.”

Han Zhou was stunned and raised his eyebrows: "Is that so, Sister Yuyan?"

"Yes..." Xiao Yuyan was surprised at Noila Mo's sensitivity and smiled bitterly, "You are all my friends, I don't want you to make trouble."

Mo Yixia said calmly: "In that case, let me give you a piece of advice. That guy named Chen Xiang is not a good person. If you want to ask why, you can stay with us when you arrive at the base camp in the evening. I'm sorry. Let me tell you slowly."

"Chen Xiang? Not a good person?"

Xiao Yuyan looked confused. Seeing that Noila Mo stopped talking, she could only turn her confused eyes to Han Zhou.

The latter showed a wry smile: "I don't know the specifics, but Yixia is very good at judging people. If you care, you can come with us later. You can also avoid that person named Liao Xinyu."

"All right……"

Xiao Yuyan has doubts in her heart. Chen Xiang is not only Liang Qian's boyfriend, but also her classmate. The relationship between the two is pretty good. She does not think that the other person is a bad person.

To be honest, her first impression of Noila Mo was not very good. This girl had a bit of a cold temperament and would argue with people over trivial matters. She was clearly acting from Han Zhou's point of view, but she didn't care at all about what would happen to her later. What consequences will it bring.

She felt that Han Zhou probably didn't care about Chen Xiang's joke at that time. Instead, the girl named Mo Yixia took it seriously first. Although this was a kind of defense, it was somewhat irrational.

But it is not difficult to see that Han Zhou is also very protective of this girl. Even if he hears an unfounded judgment, he is indifferent and does not tell the other party to stop talking nonsense.

Xiao Yuyan did not say what was in her heart. She planned to listen to what explanations the two would give.

Seeing her go back to get her backpack, Han Zhou asked in a low voice: "Why do you suggest that she go with us?"

"Asking knowingly, you should know the reason clearly."

Noila Mo glanced at him, "If I ask you something, you definitely won't tell me. I'm so considerate and don't want to embarrass you, so I have to find a way from other places. It just so happens that this opportunity is rare."

She stretched and spoke in a casual tone.

"Let's go, let me first get to know...who my love rivals are."

Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that this was Mo Yixia's idea. This guy wanted to get information from Xiao Yuyan, rather than really want to meddle in other people's business to judge who was a good guy and who was a bad guy.

and many more……

He suddenly realized something horrifying.

Could this guy have deliberately attacked the guy named Chen Xiang before?
Is it to allow Xiao Yuyan to actively avoid other people and stay with them, so that it is easier for her to gather information?

hiss……

Looking at the figure with long hair reaching his waist in front of him, Han Zhou took a deep breath——

Is this also part of your plan? !
He didn't know why, but he was suddenly more worried about the method the other party mentioned to defeat Qingmei from heaven...

……

The weather on the snow-capped mountains is changeable. It's snowing one second, then clearing up the next, and occasionally hail falls.

The slope of the mountain climbing is getting steeper and steeper, and some places are prone to slipping. Fortunately, the guides are quite experienced and will sound warnings almost every time they pass a dangerous place, so no one has ever slipped or been injured.

As the altitude increased, the air became thinner and the temperature gradually dropped. Everyone began to feel uncomfortable and physically exhausted. Almost no one spoke any more along the way.

The guide asked everyone about their physical condition, and when no one said they could not persist, he continued to lead everyone forward.I don’t know how long I walked before a flash of silvery white suddenly appeared in front of me.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoyou said excitedly: "You can see snow ahead. I remember that the snow line of the Colorful Snow Mountain is around 800 meters. Does this mean we are almost at the base camp?"

Under the dual pressure of exhaustion and thin air, she found it difficult to even breathe, and her voice seemed a little weak, but she still couldn't conceal her excitement.

The base camp of Green Mountain is at an altitude of 300 meters. Arriving there means that their day's trek is over. They can rest for a while before setting off to climb to the top in the early morning.

"Xiaoyou, what is the snow line?" Her boyfriend Lin Ming asked breathlessly.

"Snow line? It refers to the lower limit of the perennial snow belt, which is the balance line where annual snowfall and annual melt are equal."

Zhang Tao was the first to speak and explained with a smile, "To put it simply, the snow line is the dividing line between areas with permanent snow. Above the snow line, there is always snow, but below the snow line it is not necessarily the case."

The snow line is a climate landmark line, and its distribution height is mainly determined by conditions such as temperature, precipitation, slope, slope aspect, etc. Its definition, as Zhang Tao explained, is the balance line where annual snowfall and annual melting are equal.

The temperature above the snow line is low, and the supply of ice and snow throughout the year is greater than the amount of melting, forming a perennial snow area. The temperature is higher below the snow line, and the supply of ice and snow throughout the year is less than the amount of melting. It is impossible to accumulate ice and snow for many years, so it can only be seasonal. Snowy area.

Unlike everyone who was exhausted, Zhang Tao's voice was full of energy and not tired at all. Not only that, he had been interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room all the way. Even several guides such as Brother Wang felt a little bit energetic with such high energy. Accident.

Everyone understood that since they could see snow in front of them, it meant that they had reached the snow line. The snow line in Green Mountain was 800 meters, which was only 500 meters away from the base camp.

Although it is a snow mountain suitable for novices, the climbing difficulty of Green Mountain is still higher than they imagined. Physical strength is only secondary. It is quite a test of perseverance to keep climbing up. After learning that they can rest soon, Everyone could not hide their joy.

Just hold on a little longer...

However, Brother Wang quickly poured a basin of cold water on them and said with a smile: "The snow line of Green Mountain is indeed 800 meters, but what you see now is not the snow line, but the snow under the mountain, which is now ten It’s already moon, and the snow on Green Mountain has already extended below the snow line.”

The hope in everyone's hearts was shattered, Lin Xiaoyou asked with a bitter face: "Uncle guide, how many meters are we now?"

She could hardly walk anymore.

"According to my experience, it should be 400 meters, probably fluctuating within this range."

Lin Ming was dumbfounded: "Does that mean there are still nearly 1000 meters?"

1000 meters may not sound like much, but 1000 meters here refers to the height rather than the length. The difficulty of the two is very different.

"That's right, we are expected to arrive before eight o'clock. You don't even know what time it is now." Brother Wang looked at the group of young people and encouraged with a smile, "Keep on holding on, I will give it to you later." You young people who have time to rest are already very good. Unlike my son, you don’t know what persistence is..."

As he said that, he turned his attention to the two young men he was leading, and unexpectedly found that the boy's physical strength was much better than he thought. He did not look tired at all, and his steps were light and steady, while the girl seemed to be a little unable to hold on. , the steps seemed very heavy.

This is not surprising. Girls' physical strength is relatively weak. Several girls in the team are basically in this state now. The situation of boys is relatively better, but they cannot be as relaxed as Han Zhou and Zhang Tao.

Han Zhou obviously noticed Noila Mo's fatigue and asked worriedly: "Are you tired?"

Mo Yixia is not a weak girl, but it has nothing to do with regular exercise. It is actually very good to be able to persist up to this point.

Noila Mo didn't make a sound, but shook her head slightly, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Han Zhou didn't hesitate too much, stretched out his hand and said, "Walk behind me and give me your bag."

There is no snow on the road now, but the wind is very strong. He can help the other party block the wind by walking in front, saving a certain amount of energy for the latter.

Noila Mo still shook her head and just walked behind him silently. It was obvious that she didn't want to hand over the bag.

"Didn't you tell me not to show off?"

Han Zhou knew what she was worried about and said angrily, "You don't have to worry about me. I have very good physical strength. It's not a problem to run around here."

He spoke firmly and was about to take off the other person's backpack.

Noila Mo stepped back to show her resistance. She really wanted to climb to the top, but she didn't want to make herself a burden. Han Zhou had already helped her carry a lot of things. Now if she adds more weight, the rest of the journey will be difficult. It's going to be really tough for sure.

Even though she could see that the other party did still have some energy left.

However, Han Zhou showed an unprecedented tough attitude. Without any explanation, he held her shoulder with one hand and quickly snatched the backpack from her back with the other hand.

Noila Mo was exhausted and had no way to resist. She didn't make a sound, she just held on to the strap of her backpack tightly and stared directly at Han Zhou behind her snow glasses.

Han Zhou looked at her happily without fear, and suddenly sighed.

"Can't you read minds? You can definitely see that I'm not lying. Not to mention carrying an extra backpack, I can carry you to the top of the mountain without any problem."

Noila Mo seemed not to hear, still holding on to the strap and not letting go.

"Catch it if you like. It just so happens that I can't keep looking back at you, so I won't worry about losing you on the road."

Han Zhou had nothing to do with her. He shook his head in confusion, turned around, and walked forward with his backpack in one hand.

The backpack was suspended in mid-air, and the other end was connected to the silent girl.
