On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

The two girls' eyes were immediately drawn to them, unable to look away.

It was Su Yuqing and Zhao Ya, each staring at their beloved, feeling that they were exceptionally handsome and charming at that moment.

Seeing that Chen Mo and Shen Xinghe were both capable of handling things on their own, Li Zhe and Wang Lan stopped interfering.

Following Zhou Yue's instructions, the two returned to the woods to collect firewood for dinner and the campfire.

Li Zhe displayed his extensive knowledge, carefully distinguishing the burning resistance and smoke production of different tree species to select the most suitable firewood, leaving Wang Lan full of admiration: "Ah Zhe, you even know this?!"

"I checked too." Li Zhe smiled and waved his phone.

"There's still information hidden in these mountains?"

"I checked the plant distribution and camping guide beforehand, and saved the plan on my phone. It's okay even without a signal," Li Zhe replied with a smile.

The girls weren't idle either.

Su Yuqing and Zhao Ya were woken up by Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao and started to participate in the work.

Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao were in charge of "housekeeping," making the sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats comfortable and cozy inside the tent, and also sorting and putting away everyone's personal belongings.

Zhao Ya and Su Yuqing then began processing the many ingredients that Zhou Yue had prepared in advance, in preparation for dinner.

With everyone's concerted efforts, four tents of different colors were quickly set up on the grass, less than a meter apart. The girls' two tents were placed in the middle, while the boys' tents were placed on the left and right sides.

This is so that in case of any unusual situation, the girls can be protected in the middle, and the boys can react first.

The cooking utensils and food were arranged in an orderly manner, and the collected firewood was piled into a small stack.

With everything ready, everyone collapsed onto the grass, exhausted, drinking water and enjoying the relaxation after their work.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm glow on the grass and on everyone's figures.

Seeing that the campsite was basically set up, Shen Xinghe wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and suggested, "We've all worked up a sweat. There's a pool over there with a shallow stream. Let's split up and go wash up, otherwise we'll feel sticky and uncomfortable."

The proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

For convenience, men and women are still separated.

The boys set off first, led by Shen Xinghe, who knew the way well. They walked upstream along the stream for about five or six minutes and found a quiet pool surrounded by rocks.

The pool water is crystal clear and shimmers with golden light under the setting sun. It is just waist-deep, making it a relatively safe pool for adults.

"This place is great!" Wang Lan cheered. As a Northeasterner, he was used to a group of people taking a bath naked in a public bathhouse. He didn't care about being naked in front of his companions. He took off his T-shirt first, revealing his muscular physique honed through years of exercise, and jumped into the pool first.

"Wow, the water temperature is just right, not cold at all. Come on down, it's so refreshing!" As he spoke, Wang Lan was already rubbing the sweat off his body in the water. Since it was a small pool in the stream, there was no need to worry about the water being polluted by him taking a bath, as all the water was being quickly washed away.

With him taking the lead, the other three southerners were much more accepting.

Li Zhe shyly removed all his clothes. Although he wasn't as muscular as Wang Lan, he was well-proportioned and had a scholarly, slender physique. Not being a swimmer, he didn't dare jump into the pool, but slowly slid in from the edge. As soon as he entered the water, he realized that the water, which only reached his waist, had such high buoyancy that he couldn't even stand up straight. Luckily, Wang Lan grabbed him, allowing him to adjust to the relatively weak buoyancy and stand firmly in the water.

Compared to the other two southerners, Chen Mo had experienced public baths and showers several times, so he wasn't too concerned about being naked in front of others. He moved swiftly and quickly took off all his clothes.

As he went naked, what was revealed was a body with extremely smooth, lean, and powerful muscle lines, a physique that was like a work of art, full of masculine charm. It was a physique sculpted by long-term scientific training, which ordinary people could not imitate.

As he went into the water, Shen Xinghe, the last one, didn't try to hide it either.

Previously in the dormitory, he was quite conservative. The other three might come out wearing only their underwear after showering, but Shen Xinghe always came out properly in his pajamas.

The cover-up was so thorough that no one had ever seen Shen Xinghe with any skin showing.

The three of them couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.

When he took off his clothes, the three of them saw that Shen Xinghe's skin was almost transparently white in the sunset, which contrasted sharply with his long, jet-black hair.

It's astonishing that a boy has such fair skin; he's even more striking than a girl.

What's even more surprising is that he is slender and tall with a delicate frame, but he is by no means weak. On his flat and firm abdomen, there are six well-proportioned abdominal muscles clearly outlined. The muscle lines of his arms and back are also exceptionally smooth and distinct, containing an understated sense of strength.

This is a physique that combines youthful elegance with powerful aesthetics, creating a striking contrast to his usual refined androgynous beauty.

However, seeing his physique, especially the muscles in his arms, Chen Mo understood why Shen Xinghe's three-point shooting was so accurate.

He had always felt that a three-pointer of that caliber was definitely not something someone with weak arms could make.

Basketball shooting sometimes does rely more on skill than strength, but three-pointers absolutely require both power and perfect power control.

So don't underestimate Shen Xinghai's fighting power just because he looks like a cold beauty.

Besides having a lean and muscular physique, he also possesses remarkable physical attributes as a man.

All four of them are currently in standby mode, and according to the ranking, he is only slightly inferior to Chen Mo.

Wang Lan and Li Zhe, who were watching from the side, both looked on with surprise.

Shen Xinghe glanced indifferently at his three companions who were staring intently at him, and walked into the cool pool without a care. The water rippled around his waist, and if he had his back to the three men, it would have been a perfect picture of a beautiful woman taking a bath.

"Wow, Xinghe! You've been hiding this all along!" After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Lan exclaimed in amazement, "How did you get those abs? They're even better than mine!"

"Just maintaining an exercise habit," Shen Xinghe said calmly.

After getting into the water, Shen Xinghe let out a comfortable groan, "The water temperature is really nice."

The four of them quickly began to wash themselves. The cool pool water washed away their sweat and fatigue, and also eased the slight awkwardness they usually felt when they were together.

After washing away the sweat, the four boys soaked in this natural "bath," and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. They started chatting about all sorts of things, and the bond between them deepened. (End of Chapter)
