Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

In fact, the reason is very simple. Su Shi feels that Aiyin's feelings for Liu Hao are not just friends, which makes the girl feel a sense of crisis.

It’s okay for Xiangzi, but Aine, are you coming too?

"I do miss home a bit. My hometown is also a rural area like this, but it's nothing compared to this place." Liu Hao and Su Shi strolled along the edge of the railway, looking at the rows of single-family houses at the foot of the mountain. "There are new and old houses, and there are also many red brick houses. There are small vegetable plots in front of and behind the houses, and there are chickens and pigs and other things that make it look dirty and messy."

Su Shi said with some longing: "But everyone is very close, right? This kind of life in the countryside is really nice."

"That's just your imagination," Liu said with a smile. "The chickens and ducks are noisy and noisy, there are blood-sucking mosquitoes everywhere, and the vegetable fields in front and behind are irrigated with farmyard manure. When the sun shines on them, the smell will make you vomit your lunch... If you really feel this way, you probably won't be able to last a day."

Su Shi just shook her head, her quiet face full of determination: "As long as you are here, I can hold on for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Liu Hao turned her head and looked at Su Shi. The girl's beautiful blue eyes were filled with unmeltable affection.

Liu Hao jokingly said, "Well said. I'll reward you by having you help pick up manure. Let's see if the smell of essential oil can overpower the horror of the farm's organic fertilizer."

"..."

Su Shi glared at Liu Hao speechlessly. The atmosphere was obviously so good... But the girl was actually somewhat accustomed to Liu Hao's destruction of the atmosphere. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"A Liu, Su Shi, come over and take a photo together!"

Aine waved and called out to the two of them from afar, and they smiled at each other.

"coming!"

Volume 116: Chapter Chapter Liu Hao, Not Almighty But Reliable

There was a sign in front of the station indicating the "Mitsutoge Trailhead". After the six of us took a group photo, we continued to walk in the direction of the sign.

According to the guide I checked before, it takes another 20 to 30 minutes to walk from the station to the actual mountain road. The whole way is flat asphalt road, so the girls are full of energy, looking here and there, and stopping from time to time to take a selfie.

"What a beautiful flower, is this... peach blossom?"

Gao Songdeng looked at the direction Aine pointed, tried to compare it in his mind and said, "It should be camellia."

Liu Hao confirmed: "It's Camellia."

“Good job, Lijiu.” Aine praised, “You know all this, Deng?”

Gao Songdeng twirled her hair shyly and said, "I saw it in a botany textbook. I have some impression of it... Liu Hao, you too?"

“No, I’ve planted camellia trees.”

After hearing Liu Hao's words, Gao Songdeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration.

No matter how many times he saw that look, Liu Hao would feel a little flattered, so he continued, "The climate here is quite different from my hometown, but the camellia blooms from January to April. The fruit isn't very tasty, but the seeds can be used to make oil, which is very fragrant when mixed with noodles or stewed with chicken."

Kaname pointed to the farmland on the roadside and said greedily, "Buckwheat can be made into soba noodles."

Liu Hao broke Maomao's fantasy: "Buckwheat is not wheat, and it is rice."

Aiyin also pointed at a tree nearby and asked, “What about that one?”

"Camphor tree."

"What about that one over there?"

"It should be oleander."

Aine blinked, "Should?"

Liu Hao glared at the girl and said, "Can't you take a picture and Google it? I'm not an encyclopedia."

"Huh, so you're not omnipotent either."

Aine glanced back proudly, her lips pursed in a girlish and charming manner.

There was indeed a hot spring hotel at the fork in the trail at the trailhead. Aine suggested once again whether they should take a bath together after descending the mountain. Su Shi agreed, Riki objected, and Liu Hao didn't express any opinion.

Remember how happy and proud you are now. If you can catch the last bus when you go down the mountain, it will be considered a success.

The asphalt road leading up from the trailhead was quite easy. We walked forward, chatting and laughing. Along the way, we could see the gurgling water flowing down the mountain, the quiet Yamagi Shrine, and the not-at-all-spectacular Kamring Waterfall. We chatted and laughed, and shared the snacks we brought with us. Of course, most of them went into Kaname's mouth. Feeding cats was such an inexplicably fulfilling thing.

Aiyin even teased Liu Hao for overthinking it, saying climbing the mountain wasn't difficult at all.

It was rare for Li Xi to agree with Ain's words, and she would glance at Liu Hao from time to time with her charming raised eyes. The girl actually had no ill intentions, but if she could have the opportunity to mock Liu Hao who always regarded himself as a senior, she would be quite happy to do so.

Of course Liu Hao just smiled without saying anything. There was nothing to argue about, so he just waited for the boomerang.

After about an hour of departure from the station, the group of six finally arrived at the real hiking trail - a wooden bridge was built over the stream, and behind the bridge was a deep and dense bush.

"Is this really the place? The bridge is covered in dirt."

Chihaya Aine was a little hesitant, but the signboard next to her clearly stated that it was the Mitsutoge hiking trail.

"I guess it's because not many people are walking here. After all, there's a cable car a few stations ahead that takes you directly to the top of the mountain." Liu Hao waved his finger in front of Aine and said jokingly, "Why are you just standing there? Isn't it easy?"

"Humph, it's not difficult at all, let's go!"

Aiyin took a big step and strode past Liu Hao, then turned around and stuck out her tongue at Liu Hao, revealing her cute little fangs.

Liu Hao just smiled and followed behind.

As soon as you enter the woods, you can feel quite cool. The sparse sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, and the abundant oxygen content in the air makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Although the signposts on this hiking trail are very detailed, it seems that not many people walk on it. Even the wooden steps are very few and far between, and most places remain in their original state, so you have to be very careful when walking. Li Xi took the lead in exploring the way ahead, while Liu Hao followed behind the team, paying attention to the status of each member.

At the beginning, everyone had plenty of energy and was laughing and joking. They stopped from time to time to take pictures and chanted "Mahavairocana" with their hands folded next to the Bodhidharma Stone. However, after only twenty minutes, some people began to gasp for breath and became exhausted.

"Be careful."

Liu Hao supported Nagasaki Suye who was about to slip, and the girl's delicate body almost fell into Liu Hao's arms. Her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, and her pink little mouth was spewing out hot breaths.

"Thick-heeled shoes like yours are easy to slip on, so watch your step. Walk in front of me and I'll watch you."

"Ah."

Liu Hao asked Su Shi to be careful and he continued to walk forward. Chihaya Aine had completely stopped making any sound. She clenched the straps of her backpack with both hands. Her face was red and sweat kept flowing down.

"How is it? Are your feet being rubbed by the stockings? Are they pleasurable and painful?"

Aine glared at Liu Hao fiercely in response to his gloating.

Liu Hao smiled, took out a round cake, handed it to her and said, "Disposable socks, polyester-cotton, at least they are more comfortable than stockings."

"Are you prepared for this?"

"Do you understand the heaviness of being an adult?"

"嘁~"

Kaname Lenai was the one who seemed a little more relaxed. She was indeed a wild cat wandering around, and she defeated the small fry with her physical strength.

"Candy~"

Liu Hao took out a QQ candy and put it into Lenai's mouth. Lenai pursed her cat lips and seemed to have strength again. There is a reward for every input. Lenai is really a good cat.

Takamatsu Deng was being taken care of by Riki, and was also sweating profusely, but he looked fine.

Shiina Riki's situation was not so good. She was actually the one with relatively strong physical strength, but she was carrying a large bag, and it required extra strength to explore the way ahead. She also had to pay attention to taking care of Takamatsu Deng behind her. The girl's thin lips had been bitten white, and she didn't bother to wipe the sweat flowing from her teardrop mole. The usually sharp and beautiful Zi Mei also had a delicate ripple.

"What are you doing, huh? I can do it."

Realizing that Liu Hao picked up the bag behind her, Li Xi quickly and stubbornly retorted.

"I know you can, but leading the way will expend extra energy. Pathfinder duties are very important. If you slip, the six of us will be in a state of panic. You take care of Deng and Lenai, and I'll keep an eye on Su Shi and Aine in the back. The team depends on the two of us."

As Liu Hao spoke, he picked up Li Xi's schoolbag.

Li Xi bit her lip, but still did not object, allowing Liu Hao to take her schoolbag and carry it on her chest.

"I guess what you said makes sense."

Li Xi lowered his head slightly, and saw from the corner of his eye that Liu Hao was carrying two large bags and going back to the back of the team. He felt inexplicably relieved in his heart. It turned out that he had always been the most reliable person in the band.

Volume 117: Chapter Chapter Heading to the Top of the Mountain

"My heart is filled with... haggardness, and my eyes are wandering...

"I am alone in this world..."

The singing of Haruka Ying could be heard in the forest, but Gao Songdeng's voice was intermittent and mixed with weak tremolos. Others were singing along, but they were completely out of tune and their voices were not in unison. Occasionally, someone's voice suddenly became a little higher, which was a roar to vent physical fatigue.

This was Liu Hao's suggestion. Singing while climbing up can cheer yourself up and divert your attention.

"We're at the buttocks now. Let's take a break."

In fact, there was no need for Liu Hao to say anything, Lenai had already sat on the chair next to him. The cat was also tired, and stuck out its tongue to ask Liu Hao for water.

Aiyin hammered her calf, looked at Liu Hao and said, "Aliu, how long will it take to reach the top of the mountain?"

"It's early. Following the signs, we've walked about one-fifth of the way."

"what?"

Aine's voice was filled with disbelief. She wasn't about to cry, but her face looked aggrieved. The thought of having to walk four times as far to reach the top of the mountain made her feel a chill run down her spine.

Liu Hao said with a smile: "What, not so awesome anymore? Didn't you just say it wasn't difficult?"

"Humph!"

Aiyin didn't have the energy to refute, she just glared at Liu Hao with bared fangs, like a pink puppy ready to bite, but her bright and cute girl made this behavior non-threatening.

"Su Shi, how are you? Are you okay?"

"good……"

Su Shi really wanted to say that as long as Liu Hao was by her side, she could do anything...but idealism has a limited influence on materialism. She had been helped by Liu Hao many times along the way.

Su Shi admitted that she did it on purpose a few times before, wanting to enjoy Liu Hao's warm embrace. The faint smell of sweat was not offensive, but made people feel at ease. However, the next few times she did not do it on purpose.

So when Su Shi saw that Ai Yin didn't even have a firm footing and was supported by Liu Hao and fell into his arms, the girl didn't feel jealous at all. She just felt that it was a good thing that she was not the only one who performed so badly, and everyone was actually the same.

"Deng, what are you looking at?"

Gao Songdeng pointed to the distance, not only answering Li Xi's question, but also greeting the band members. The girl said excitedly, "Over there, Mount Fuji!"

"Mount Fuji?"

"Where where?"

Everyone crowded around Takamatsu Deng, and sure enough, they could see the snow-capped top of Mount Fuji among the clouds between the trees. Although the view was very ordinary, this sacred mountain in the hearts of the Japanese still gave the girls a great sense of accomplishment.

Liu Hao said at the right moment, like a snake tempting someone to fall: "The view from the top of the mountain is wider and the scenery is better. If you give up now, you won't be able to see it anymore."

"Wow, the devil!"

"I won't give up!"

"Fuji! Fuji!"

"I'm hungry~"

In everyone's minds, Kaname's remarks seemed so out of place that everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Didn't you eat all the way?"

"Still hungry."

"Hungry guy, here's a Snickers bar."

Liu Hao opened a Snickers bar and stuffed it into the cat's mouth. His backpack was filled with all the bargains he could get, including discounted, expiring, and clearance items, all of which were top-notch value-for-money products.

After resting for a while, we continued on our way. According to the plan, we had to climb at least halfway before we could have lunch. At that time, we could have a good rest for an hour, otherwise it would be difficult if we didn’t get down the mountain until dark.

In order to give everyone a clear short-term goal, Liu Hao set a rhythm of climbing for twenty minutes and resting for five minutes. Otherwise, the distant top of the mountain would make some people feel desperate.

Near noon, Li Xi, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

Liu Hao passed the team to check the situation and found that there was a very steep cliff road in front. It seemed that several guardrails had been washed away by a mudslide. The intact guardrails were just iron sticks tied with ropes. They did not look strong at all. In addition, there was a cliff on the other side, which made people feel a little timid.

For the first time, Li Xi said in a panic, "Is this impossible?"

“If there is no road closure, then it is passable.”

Liu Hao took off the two backpacks on his body and said, "I'm going to explore the road. You wait here for me."

"Be careful!"

"Aliu, be careful!"

Su Shi and Aine almost simultaneously warned each other with worry. They looked at each other for a moment before looking away. The girl's sensitivity and similar feelings made both of them aware of something.

Liu Hao made an OK gesture and started walking forward under the concerned eyes of the girls. This kind of road was just a piece of cake for him. His main purpose was to check whether the road was solid and whether he would step on air. After walking back and forth, he found that there was no problem.

"It's okay, just be careful with your steps. If you're scared, I'll take you there one by one."

"Well, please."
