After stopping, the three decided to wait here for the two people behind them to meet up.

Not long after, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

The red-haired girl came trotting over with a smile on her face. Her sunny smile seemed to be another part of the previous silence.

Everyone turned around and Ye Mu seemed to be very distressed, covering his head and following her.

"Kita, are you... feeling better?"

Hong Xia found it a little hard to believe. When did Ye Mu become so good at coaxing girls?

"Me? I'm fine. Ooooh! It's so beautiful here. Do you want to take a photo here?"

Kita pulled out a selfie stick from her bag and cleverly changed the subject.

"Oh... everyone, come take a picture!"

Although I don’t know what method Ye Mu used to make Xiduo return to normal, I will find a chance to ask later.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to take pictures, Hongxia chatted with Xiduo for a few more words. Seeing that she was indeed not forcing a smile, her slightly frowned brows finally relaxed completely.

Click~

The little Pochi in the photo is much more natural than before. At least he doesn't have a gloomy expression and stand out from the crowd. However, if he wants to smile in front of the camera, he will probably need some time to get used to it.

After putting away the selfie sticks, everyone continued to move forward. This time, the two energetic girls, Hongxia and Kita, walked side by side in the front.

Liang, who proposed the adventure, quietly slowed down his pace and winked at Ye Mu.

"Let me guess, how did 'Ye Jun' restore the depressed girl back to normal? Well, probably a passionate kiss or something like that."

"How is that possible! But I don't really understand what Kita is thinking. It seems like his mood has suddenly improved."

"Tsk~ That's lame."

Liang curled his lips, pushed him away and went to play with little Pochi.

Fortunately, Liang did not ask any further questions. Ye Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling Kitano's tone at the time, it was indeed somewhat intriguing.

"…It seems like three girls in the band have already fallen for him."

"Ye Jun seems to be really ready to turn the End Band into your harem."

Kita's tone was subtle, not sarcastic.

"All three of them fell for it? Maybe, but it was never my intention to turn the band into a harem. It's just that the band members are close to each other, and it's normal for them to develop feelings for each other."

"I'm not sure about Hongxia, but to Pochi-chan and Ryo, I am absolutely sincere and genuine... um, that sounds like a scumbag."

"I see. Then, what does Ye Jun think of me?"

"what?"

Ye Mu was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to loosen his hands that were wrapped around Xiduo, but the girl took the opportunity to put her other hand on the back of Ye Mu's hand, forcing him to look directly into the girl's eyes.

"Kita... a lively and energetic girl who works very hard at piano practice and has a great singing voice... but her sexual orientation is a little... strange."

After thinking for a while, Ye Mu replied.

The last sentence was something he had wanted to ask for a long time as Liang Xin's tacit lover.

Although it was one-sided on Kita's part from the beginning to the end, it was still awkward enough.

"That's it..."

Xiduo looked into the distance and paused for a moment. She let go of Ye Mu's hand and suddenly laughed.

"Then please ask Ye Jun to correct it for me. I will come to you when I have time. Don't refuse me then~"

After saying that, she ran away quickly and caught up with Hongxia and the others, and the scene at the beginning happened.

"Correct it", considering the context, it should mean correcting sexual orientation, but it's hard to understand why Kita suddenly said this.

As Ye Mu walked, he kept replaying the conversation between the two of them in his mind, trying to analyze the reasons from Xiduo's words.

The stone steps were already slippery after the snow, and he was distracted. Ye Mu missed a step and almost fell down the stairs.

"Phew, it's so dangerous!"

Fortunately, he grabbed the wooden railing beside him in time to avoid rolling all the way down and taking the four girls with him.

"Be careful, Senior."

Little Boqi walked back a few steps nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Mu was fine.

The tremor passed down the railing, shaking off the snow on top, causing Liang to look back.

"Actually, climbing a mountain after snowfall is not a good idea... Maybe the staff in the mine are not here either."

Seeing this, Hongxia walked more carefully and protested to Liang who made the suggestion without turning back.

"It's very exciting. What you want is a thrilling experience and a chance to survive a catastrophe."

Although his momentum remained undiminished, his panting appearance exposed the fact that the bassist had the worst physical strength among the band.

Fortunately, the road in Yinchuan is not too steep. After going downhill, the road is flat before entering the mine.

After twenty minutes of walking on the mountain road, the exhausted band decided to take a short rest at the stone benches and tables at the foot of the mountain before moving on.

After wiping off the accumulated water, three stone benches were not enough for everyone to sit on, so Ye Mu and Liang, who were the tallest, had to half-sit at the table to rest.

At first Liang was not very happy and wanted Kita to sit at the table. She sat in Kita's seat, but was later forced to sit on the table by Ye Mu who couldn't bear it anymore.

"If Kita sat on the table, her feet probably wouldn't even touch the ground."

Liang glared at Ye Mu before giving up the idea.

The stone chairs and tables were as cold as ice in winter. After sitting for a while, she started to complain about the coldness, and the object of her complaint was naturally Ye Mu, who did not allow her to sit on the stool.

"It's so cold, put your legs flat and let me sit on you."

"What are you thinking about? The pants you're wearing are pretty thick too."

Ignoring Ye Mu's protests, she actually moved her butt and sat on Ye Mu's thighs without saying anything.

Oh!

The other three girls covered their mouths. It was the first time they saw Liang do such an intimate thing.

Feeling the weight of the girl, Ye Mu had no choice but to reach out and hold Liang's waist to prevent her from sliding down.

"Haha~"

Sitting on Ye Mu's lap, Liang's vision was suddenly raised a lot. She lowered her head and proudly provoked Ye Mu.

"Has Senior Liang really developed his relationship with Ye-kun to this extent?"

Kita felt mixed emotions.

Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered.

Perhaps my feelings towards Senior Liang were just vague admiration from the beginning, and now it is time to let these feelings return to normal.

Chapter 196: Surprise and Liang's Shame

"The single-plank bridge, which can only accommodate one person, is wet and slippery. Under your feet is the turbulent icy water, and the gradually breaking rope forces you to move forward, but in front of you..."

"Ryo, stop dubbing the plot and just cross the bridge. You really need a cold shower if you fall down."

"You're so annoying."

Liang, whose spellcasting was interrupted, suddenly lost all interest and could only look at the wooden board under his feet and move forward bit by bit.

After resting, the band continued to move forward. The last dangerous path leading to the mine was this small bridge wetted by snow water.

Little Bochi became timid and staggered the moment he took one step onto the bridge. Ye Mu had to turn back and let Little Bochi sit astride his neck like he was carrying a child before he could catch up with everyone again.

After safely walking across a 10-meter-long bridge and taking a few more steps, they finally found the target of this expedition - an abandoned mine.

"It's not easy."

Hong Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She was cold and wet all over and was just about to suggest taking a rest before going down into the mine when a figure suddenly flashed past her and rushed down in two steps.

After looking back to confirm, it turned out to be the guy who was trying to find silver in the mine.

It's so strange. He has the best family conditions among the five, but he is still so greedy for money.

Hongxia was helpless but worried that something might happen to Liang, so she had to chase after him in a hurry.

"Hey, you guys... Oops!"

Ye Mu regretted not holding back Liang who was making trouble. He gritted his teeth, handed little Pochi's hand to Kita who was still in a daze, and chased after him.

As soon as I entered the mine, I felt cold and damp from all directions. Looking down, I saw a narrow staircase extending diagonally downward with no end in sight.

I'm suffering from claustrophobia. I'm afraid that the mine tunnel will become narrower and narrower until it squeezes me into strange shapes.

Suddenly, a scream from below interrupted Ye Mu’s wandering thoughts.

Hong Xia!

Her screams hit the stone wall and echoed continuously.

problem occurs!

Ye Mu thought to himself that this was not good. He took a step forward without any hesitation and rushed down at almost a running speed.

Da Da Da~

The stairs creaked as he stepped on them. After sprinting for half a second, the place where Hong Xia's scream came from finally appeared in his sight.

At the steep corner, the wooden railing was broken in the middle, and wooden pieces and wood chips were scattered all over the ground.

Ye Mu's breathing stagnated and he quickened his steps. Another figure that was blocked by the stone wall also appeared.

"Liang, what's going on?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Liang turned her head with surprise, holding a cell phone with a flashlight turned on in her hand.

"Hongxia fell down, but she should be fine for now."

Ye Mu squatted down, took Liang's phone and shone it downwards.

"It's not that high, it's okay, don't worry about me."

Hong Xia below was also waving her phone, but the dim light made it difficult to see the situation around her.

Her voice was trembling, and it was obvious that Hong Xia was not as calm as she said.

There was a flash of lightning in Ye Mu's eyes. After he took a few steps away from Liang, Bai Yao's ball of light expanded from his fingertips like a balloon. He pushed hard, and the ball of lightning carrying lightning floated in the air, illuminating most of the mine.

Fortunately, Hong Xia was lucky enough that the stairs were only about one and a half meters above the ore deposit. If it were higher, I'm afraid...

Ye Mu shook his head, not allowing himself to have any wild thoughts. The most important thing now was to rescue Hong Xia as soon as possible. Seeing her sitting on the ground, she must be terrified.

"Hongxia, hold my hand and I'll pull you up."

"Pull me up?"

After being able to see her surroundings clearly, Hong Xia calmed down a lot. She bit her lip, stood up from the mine bed, and ran to the stairs. When she held Ye Mu's hand, the fear in her heart completely dissipated.

"It seems that the height is not enough, and the edge is too sharp, it will easily scratch her."

Liang blamed himself so much that he wished he could jump down and take Hongxia's place.

I heard footsteps behind me; Kita and Pochi were coming over.

After trying several times, Ye Mu found that pulling up directly was not feasible, so he simply jumped down and prepared to find another way.

"Ye Jun, you..."

Hongxia covered her mouth in surprise. While she was touched, there was also some blame in her tone.

"Don't worry, I think it'll be easy to get up there... Come on, I'll carry you on my back and see if I can hook my hands on the stairs."

Ye Mu answered as he squatted down in front of her.

"It should be possible... Yeah!"

Hong Xia hesitated, and just as she was sitting firmly on Ye Mu's neck, the sudden feeling of weightlessness made her scream.

This was not the end. Ye Mu was afraid that she still could not reach the stairs, so after standing up, he even grabbed Hong Xia's thighs with his hands and lifted her a few dozen centimeters higher as if lifting weights.

Fortunately, the mature Hongxia did not fail at the critical moment. Although she was a little surprised, she immediately reacted, supported the plane of the stairs with her elbows, and successfully climbed up with the help of Liang and Xiao Bochi.
