Su Shi suddenly grabbed Liu Hao's wrist and took the initiative to follow Liu Hao first.
Aine curled her lips, her suspicions now confirmed.
Chihaya Aine also held Liu Hao's hand openly, but let go of Lenai halfway through. As expected of a wild cat, she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Mr. Lixi, do you want to…"
"No, just take care of the lights."
Shiina Riki directly refused Liu Hao's help. After seeing him walking forward holding Takamatsu Deng's hand, he followed him carefully.
Then when Liu Hao and Takamatsu Deng walked to the other side, they found that the classmate Shiina Riki, who had been strong all his life, stopped halfway, holding a bush on the edge of the cliff with one hand, and refused to move forward no matter how much Su Shi and Aine encouraged her.
"I didn't expect Li Xi to have this side to him. He's so inexplicably cute."
Aiyin smiled, pushed Liu Hao and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get Li Xi."
Liu Hao smiled mischievously and said, "I was thinking about taking a picture of her, and then showing it to her when she pressures us again?"
"That's too bad."
"Haha, that's a bit too bad."
Liu Hao restrained his expression, walked to the middle of the road, stretched out his hand to Li Xi and said, "Hold on to me. The more afraid you are, the weaker your legs will be, and it will be harder to get through."
"No, I can do it myself."
Li Xi said stubbornly, her lips tightly pursed, her beautiful face already pale.
"Why force yourself to do something even though you're afraid of heights? You've been leading the way for so long. How can anyone be perfect?"
Liu Hao grabbed Li Xi's hand without saying a word, protected her and slowly walked forward.
"..."
Li Xi bit her lip and said nothing, letting Liu Hao pull her forward like a rag doll. His tall figure really gave people an indescribable sense of security.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Li Xi felt.
Who says there are no perfect people? My sister is just that amazing and perfect... And you, Liu Hao, you are both talented and hardworking. You quickly got started on the guitar from a beginner, and you were recognized by Deng right away. You are also a student at a top university like Waseda University. You are something I can never achieve no matter how hard I try.
Even in this situation, you are still so gentle and never get angry at what I say. How can anyone be perfect?
How arrogant...
Volume 118: Chapter Chapter Never Give Up
After passing the dangerous area of the cliff, we arrived at a slightly open area, where we could clearly see Mount Fuji in front of us. Due to the season, only patches of snow covered the top of the mountain, and layers of clouds floated on the mountainside. Against the background of the blue sky, it was countless times more beautiful than in photos and movies.
If you look down, you can overlook the buildings between the mountains and have a panoramic view of the beautiful mountains and rivers.
With such a broad and beautiful view, even though everyone was tired and hungry, they still didn't have time to eat and just enjoyed the wonderful scenery first.
"Ah ...
Aiyin put her hands to her mouth and tried her best to shout for a while, but there was no echo in the valley. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she blinked innocently, "Aren't you guys shouting?"
Li Xi: "Don't shout, that's stupid."
Aiyin said with a smile, "I think you're afraid of heights and don't dare to come over?"
"Cut~"
Li Xi curled her lips but did not refute. She was afraid of heights but it was not that serious. As long as she was not on the edge of a cliff or in a situation where she was sure it was safe, she would not be afraid of heights.
Takamatsu Deng said in admiration: "Aine, you are amazing, you can shout out like that."
"Huh, Deng still understands me, so cute... I brought hamburger meat, let's eat together!"
"Yeah, I have egg rolls too."
While everyone was taking out their prepared cold lunch boxes and bread, Liu Hao had already lit the simple alcohol stove and placed a three-pound can of beef hotpot on it. He had never expected that this can of food, which he had bought at a bargain price half a year ago, would come in handy at this time.
Li Xi looked around and didn't see any other hikers, so he reminded them, "It seems that using open flames is prohibited here, right?"
"Apparently so."
"Then you still light the fire?"
Liu Hao said confidently: "What your Japanese government banned has nothing to do with me, the Chinese?"
"..."
Li Xi couldn't refute it for a moment, and could only complain, "I'm already so tired from climbing the mountain, and you still have to go through this? I'm eating bread anyway."
Liu Hao just smiled and said, "You will know in a moment the warm happiness brought by salt, oil and fat after being tired and hungry. It can replenish your physical strength much better than cold lunch boxes and bread."
Others didn't quite understand either, except for Lenai who was waiting eagerly by the side and watching what was in the pot. After Liu Hao was fed a bite, all of them were chopped up by the cat. This made Liu Hao look at Lenai with even greater respect. Whether it was his thick skin, vision or appetite, he was not inferior to him and would become a great man in the future.
Soon, as the soup in the can boiled, the rich aroma attracted everyone to come over. The red oil in the hot pot can was not spicy, but full of the aroma of butter. In addition to beef, there were meatballs, quail eggs, kelp and bamboo shoots. After eating half of it, Liu Hao added the prepared cabbage and buckwheat noodles. It was so fragrant.
Who would want to eat dry bread when there is a hot pot? Li Xi silently put the bread back into his bag and sat down next to Gao Songdeng.
“Is this the Sichuan-style hot pot of China?”
"It's such a blessing to be able to eat such hot food in the wild..."
"Liu Hao, very thoughtful and reliable!"
The six of them sat on the grass, with the blue sky overhead and the magnificent Mount Fuji in the distance. As they ate the delicious hot pot and joked about the greasy stains on their companions' mouths, all the fatigue from the climb seemed to have vanished.
However, this happiness was short-lived. After an hour's rest, we started to tackle a more difficult section of the road.
Especially after passing the "Eighty-Eight Masters" scenic spot, the road became steeper. Climbing for twenty minutes and resting for five minutes could no longer keep up with the pace. It gradually became climbing for twenty minutes and resting for twenty minutes. Except for Liu Hao who was still full of energy despite carrying two large bags, even Li Xi was a little overdrawn.
"Aliu, I'm so tired..."
Aiyin spoke pitifully to Liu Hao, her two long, straight legs already shaking.
"You don't think I'm not tired?"
Not only was Liu Hao carrying a large bag on his back, but his arms were held by Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna respectively. With the help of Liu Hao, the two girls could barely move forward. "Didn't you say you'd never run away again? Come on, Aine-chan, I'm rooting for you."
"Then you'd better not think highly of me..."
“Some things are really not useful just because you look at them optimistically.”
Nagasaki Sushi had long lost her former delicate appearance. Her brown hair was messily stuck to her face, and her clear blue eyes were watery. "Liu Jun, I can't move anymore..."
"..."
Liu Hao had no choice but to stretch out his arms from Deng and Lenai's embrace and said to Su Shi and Aine, "Hold my hand."
Li Xi, who was walking in front and forcing himself to walk, stopped and looked at the five people who were stacking hamburgers in surprise. He said to Liu Hao, "Can you handle it?"
"I can hold on for now." Liu Hao said with a straight face, gesturing to his right leg, "There's still room on my leg, do you want to hold on?"
"Huh? I don't want to."
After a while, Li Xi grabbed Aiyin and Su Shi's hands at the back to lend them strength, and Liu Hao became the real locomotive of the band.
When they arrived at Pingfeng Rock, two uncles who were climbing looked at the group of young people in surprise. They gave Liu Hao a thumbs up and kept praising him for his Showa spirit and said he was a role model for the younger generation in Japan.
Liu Hao didn't have the energy to explain anything. You uncles have no sense at all. This is a Chinese youth. Can you Reiwa otaku do it?
"My legs hurt~"
"No, I can't move, not even a step."
"Not yet, the top of the mountain?"
"I want a matcha parfait..."
Although we were still moving forward, complaints kept coming, and every step felt like I was using up all my strength.
"come on!"
“Friendship!”
"dream!"
"Bond!"
Liu Hao weakly shouted slogans, and the five girls also responded weakly, staggering, but everyone held hands, and no one said to give up.
"We're here, we're almost at the top of the mountain."
"You've said eight hundred times that you want to reach the top of the mountain..."
"That's because you've asked me eight hundred times." Liu Hao glanced at Aiyin, then said to Gao Songdeng, who looked serious but absent-minded, "Deng, sing a song of Haruhi Kage to cheer everyone up."
"Ahhh...how dazzling...ahhh...how beautiful..."
Judging from Deng's weak mental state, she might have been hallucinating.
But Kasuga Shadow is Kasuga Shadow after all, someone started singing along, yes, it was Li Xi, and the others who couldn't make any sound also started singing and lip-synced.
Everyone was holding on with all their might, determined to persevere to the end.
"We're at the top of the mountain."
"You've said it eight hundred and one times..."
“It’s really here this time.”
The girls suddenly raised their heads and saw Mount Fuji right in front of them.
Volume 119: Chapter Chapter Mountaineering and hot springs are a better match
"Wow, it's so beautiful, ahhhh!"
"what!!!"
"Fu! Shi! Mountain!"
Not only Aine, but even the reserved Nagasaki Suyo and the shy Takamatsu Touma were shouting towards Mount Fuji, expressing their inner joy.
Counting from the time we arrived at Mitoge Station at 8:30 in the morning, it is now 4:30 in the afternoon, a full eight hours of trekking. Many times along the way, I thought it would be impossible to climb up the mountain even if I climbed. My legs felt like they were no longer my own. But even so, we still supported each other and climbed to the top of the mountain. The sense of accomplishment that we felt could not be fully expressed even by the echoes rippling in the valley.
The space on the top of the mountain is very small, only about 20 square meters, but the view is very wide. Mount Fuji in front of them is very considerately covered with rare conical hat clouds, which makes the girls who are taking photos feel more satisfied and glad that they did not give up.
The sky was clear, so you could see the Japanese Alps on the other side, and their majestic black and white colors were just as fascinating.
"Mom and Dad, look at Mount Fuji! You said I would never be able to reach the top. Humph, you are now impressed by your daughter, right?"
Aine had just felt like she was about to pass out, but now she suddenly had the energy to act cute while video chatting with her parents. She held up her phone to show them the mountain scenery and the band members, "Ah, Liu, cheer up, look over here and say hello."
"Hello, uncle, hello, aunt."
Liu Hao stretched out his hands and waved them, and suddenly he felt as if his hands were about to be dislocated. Climbing the mountain would strain the legs of others, but he was straining his hands to pull five girls up the mountain. It was really an unusual way.
“The scenery on the mountain is so beautiful.”
After some trouble, Aine sat down with everyone else on the circular bench in the middle of the platform at the top of the mountain.
"This is the meaning of climbing," Liu Hao said leisurely, gazing up at the sky and the mountains. "Climbing is tiring, and sometimes the scenery along the way can't make up for the physical exertion. Only by persevering to the end and cheering each other on can we see such beautiful scenery. If anyone is missing, even if we make it to the top, we won't feel such a sense of accomplishment."
"Yeah." Su Shi was in a very relaxed and warm mood at this moment. "It's great that we're all together."
Gao Songdeng pursed his lips and said, "This is something we did together!"
"Yeah, let's go together."
Shiina Riki shook the ponytail on the back of her head and said to save face, "It's not that difficult actually."
Aiyin agreed, "That's right, it wasn't too difficult."
Liu Hao looked at the two stubborn girls and asked with a stifled smile, "Do you know why this place is called Santong Mountain?"
"why?"
"It's called Santoge Mountain because it has three peaks connected together," Liu Hao said with a smile. "So there are two more peaks ahead. Since you still have some energy left, hurry up and continue following me."
Li Xi: “…”
Aine: “Actually, I don’t have that much energy…”
Su Shi: “You guys…”
Everyone was silent for a moment in awkward silence, and then they all laughed out loud in tacit understanding. The laughter became louder and louder, mixing together and echoing among the mountains.
After resting for a while, Liu Hao urged everyone to get down the mountain quickly while there was still sunshine. If it got dark, the difficulty of going down the mountain would increase several levels, and for safety reasons, they could no longer continue to enjoy the scenery.
Although it is easier to go up the mountain than down, going down the mountain is more challenging for the knees, but at least it is not as physically demanding.
"Watch your step and use your trekking poles."
"It's best for everyone to hold hands and walk together."
