Looking at Xiao Jinzi's excited expression, I couldn't help but smile and take out another small box to pass to Cheng'zi. "Cheng'zi, this is yours, I bought it specially for you."

Cheng Zi looked overjoyed, but still shyly said, "Bro, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I'll be very happy when you come back." After saying that, she opened the small box. When she saw the jade pendant inside, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, is this too precious? I don't want it anymore."

I said smilingly, "It's alright. This is the most suitable one for you to bring along. Alright, let me see you wear it. I specially picked it out for you."

"Yes, thank you brother." Cheng stood on tiptoe and poked me lightly in the cheek.

Uncle Jin didn't come over tonight, so I took out the gift I bought and gave it to everyone as a gift. As for Uncle Jin's portion, I'll get Auntie Bei'er to bring it back to him. To others, these things might be very expensive, but to a family like the Uncle Jin, these things were nothing.

After finishing our meal in the old man's house, I pulled Cheng away under the grudging gaze of the old man. Tomorrow I will go with Cheng to prepare what we need for the trip. The day after tomorrow we will set off. This time we are preparing to go out for three days, so we can go to Huangshan to watch the sunrise. Donghai City would not have six more hours of drive. In the morning, they would drive there and arrive around noon. We could rest at the foot of the mountain for the night, the next day on the mountain, then spend the night on the mountain, and the third day watching the sunrise before going down, and finally coming back.

On his first trip, he needed to prepare a lot of things. On top of that, the Huangshan Mountain was dangerous in winter, and the weather was cold. Right now, Huangshan was busy season, so he might need to set up a tent.

The next day, Cheng took me out to purchase a lot of things in high spirits. I'm fine myself, I basically don't need to buy anything, but I need to buy all kinds of orange clothes and shoes again.

Originally, I only intended to buy a set for Cheng, but in the end, we both bought a set. The clothes, pants, and shoes were all of the same style, but with different colors. Afterwards we went to the outdoor goods store and bought some necessary climbing necessities.

Finally, Cheng pulled me to the supermarket to buy a lot of fast food. Finally, I drove back to the school in the nearly stuffed SUV and looked at the car full of stuff. I couldn't help but feel helpless. Three days is more than enough time for one week. Furthermore, when he ascended the mountain, he would not be able to carry so many things with him.

Because we had to drive the next day, we had an early break the night before. Early the next morning, after Cheng and I had breakfast, we set out before nine o'clock.

It was my first time driving on my own. Looking at Cheng's excited expression, I couldn't help but feel a little excited. All these years, he had been to many places, but this was the first time he was traveling by himself. He seemed to have lived for more than twenty years. This was the first time he was out on a tour, and he was always a bit excited.

Along the way, Cheng kept chattering non-stop to me, or she kept taking pictures of the scenery outside the window with her camera. It was still the New Year. Although it was not the Golden Week, many people had yet to start working. Usually, after the 15th Lantern Festival, this year would finally be over.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the Tsuen Creek area at the foot of the Huangshan. I had booked a room on the phone before coming here, so nothing happened and we checked in.

After putting everything away, Cheng couldn't help but drag me out for a stroll. It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Cheng reluctantly came back. He still had to climb up tomorrow. It was impossible to not have enough sleep and physical strength.

Early the next morning, I woke up early with Cheng in tow. The things in my backpack had already been prepared for us. After eating breakfast, we started to climb the mountain.

Before I came here, I suggested we take the cable car and walk down, but Cheng wouldn't let me, so I had to climb up on my own and say it made sense. I had no choice but to accompany her and slowly climb the mountain by following the mountain path.

The Huangshan in winter is extremely cold, and the cold wind is bone-piercing. Fortunately, we all blow thick coats that resist the wind to keep warm.

At first, Cheng was still in high spirits. But after more than two hours of walking, he finally couldn't take it anymore. Her backpack is basically full of food, and the heavy stuff is all with me. Seeing Cheng sitting on the stone bench, gasping for breath, her tender white face turned red like a ripe red apple, and she couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Everyone knew the beauty of the Huangshan. For thousands of years, Huangshi has been independent of its unique mountain scenery. The Huangshan's cave was not the kind of vast beauty that would freeze a thousand miles in the north. The Huangshan's winter snow lay in the snow and pine, the perfect combination of snow and stone. The Blood Roar was Huangshan, pure white and crystalline, and it was covered in ice, mist, and sea of clouds.

Over the years, although I had been to many places, this was the first time I had seen such a scene. In my memory, although there would occasionally be a little snow on the mountain, most of the time, it would be hail.

Faced with all of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath as my entire spirit jolted. The Huangshan in winter did not have any summer crowds, and there were only a few people on the long and narrow mountain path.

Today's weather was pretty good. Although the temperature was a bit low, at least it wasn't cloudy. According to this kind of weather, there was a great chance of sunrise tomorrow morning.

After resting for half a year or so, Cheng finally recovered some of his strength and energy. We began to slowly walk up the mountain.

At noon we had not yet reached the hotel at the top of the hill. We had to eat lunch in a pavilion on the way.

Fortunately, we had this in mind when we first came here, so we brought self-heating food. With this kind of physical activity, it's impossible not to replenish the body's energy in time.

Cheng was already exhausted. Even though it was winter, her forehead was full of sweat. I used a tissue to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Cheng leaned against my shoulder and panted heavily. She hadn't fully recovered yet.

There was only the two of us in the pavilion, and it was very spacious. Cheng Zi had a lot of food in her backpack, so to ease her burden, I took out half of it.

At this moment, the two girls who were panting walked into the pavilion. Seeing that the table was filled with all kinds of food, one of the girls couldn't help but rush over and sat down opposite us. She directly grabbed a bottle of water to drink without saying a word.

I was stunned for a moment as I looked at the girl's actions, unable to react in time. I looked over at Cheng, who shook her head. She didn't recognize either of them.

The girl was not polite at all. After drinking the water, she grabbed a piece of bread and began to wolf it down. The other girl who came with her sat on the other side with an awkward expression. Although she wasn't like that girl, her gaze would occasionally look at the food on the table.

Seeing that I was about to speak, the girl hurriedly explained, "Sir, I'm sorry, we left our wallets at the hotel at the bottom of the mountain, so we didn't drink a single sip of water. I'm really sorry, but when we reach the foot of the mountain, we will definitely give you the money.

I didn't say anything. I glanced at Cheng. Cheng Zi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and whispered, "Brother, let them have some. We can't finish them all anyway."

Cheng agreed. I nodded and said, "Alright then. You can easily choke if you ask your friend to buy some food."

Eh! The moment I said those words, the girl who was wolfing down her food immediately burped. The other girl who was sitting beside her immediately felt particularly awkward, and her originally red, tired and flushed face turned extremely red.

Cheng Zi couldn't help but secretly laugh while covering her mouth. That girl's actions were indeed rather comical. The two women were dressed in the same style, except the colors were different. The girl who was wolfing down the food was wearing a milky white down jacket, and the other girl was wearing a light yellow one. But they all put on their hats, and their faces were covered by their fluffy hats. But even so, these two girls' faces were considered outstanding.

At this point, Cheng and I already had enough food to eat. The moment we started to open the lid, the fragrance of rice wafted into the air. Normally, this kind of fast food was nothing, but here, it was very rare to get enough of such a hot meal.

The two girls on the other side of the table were so captivated by the sight of the food in front of us that even the self-controlled girl was staring at the lunchbox in front of us.

"Handsome, do you have any more boxes of food?" At this point, the girl who was wolfing down the food finally recovered. She looked straight at my bowl of food and swallowed a mouthful of foam as she spoke.

I smiled. "I do. Why do you want to buy it?"

The other person directly said without even thinking, "Sure, no problem. How much is it? State your price."

I put down my chopsticks and asked, "Do you have money?"

"I …" The girl was about to say something when she suddenly thought of something and stopped. She slightly opened her mouth and stared at me with wide eyes. She didn't slow down for a long time. The other girl bit her lip and looked away from our tweed box.

Seeing the two girls, Cheng Zi rolled his eyes at me and said, "Alright, brother, don't bully me. Hello, I'm Xu Chen, this is Chen Yang, you haven't eaten yet right? Eat this, this is good for you, it's better for your health." As he said that, Xu Chen took out two boxes of food that he had yet to open for self-heating and gave them to eat.
