Chapter 126
The crowd didn't notice the strange look on Mu Xiaoxi's face, and made fun of each other.

Wu Li saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he said, "Let's go climb the nearby mountain together. After climbing, today's activities should be about the same."

Chu Yiyi leaned against Wu Li, smiling and nodding.

Shen Ye, Mu Xiaoxi and the others naturally had no objections and nodded together.

Because this time it was Shen Ye's treat, so he didn't wait for the others to stand up, so he took the initiative to go to the front desk.

Others wanted to be courteous, but Shen Ye was always neat in doing things, so he just walked over without giving others a chance to speak.

But it was such a crisp and neat performance that made the other single female students stare in their eyes and look like they liked it very much.

As for whether he likes his people or his money, it is uncertain.

Shen Ye got up and walked to the front desk, smiled at the waiter, "I'll pay the bill, please calculate the money, thank you."

The waiter nodded hurriedly and took out the bill from the drawer: "Here is your bill, a total of 938 yuan."

Shen Ye opened his wallet, took out ten big bills, and handed them to the waiter: "Here is a tip of 62 yuan, thank you for your service today."

The waiter took the banknote in surprise and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much for your generosity! We will continue to work hard to provide you with the best experience! Welcome to come again next time!"

Shen Ye nodded and smiled, turned around and returned to his seat, seeing that everyone was still chatting and joking, he said: "The account has been settled, let's go?"

"Okay!" Everyone stood up, the restaurant was in chaos, and the sound of chairs moving kept ringing out.

Shangguan Lin probed and asked: "Big Boss, why are you embarrassing us like this, why don't we treat you to dinner together next time?"

"No, no, I deserve this treat. It's just a meal, not worth mentioning."

Shen Ye smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Great, thank you boss!" Shangguan Lin said happily.

Xia Wan'er said to Shen Ye: "We are friends, so it should be once, so if this is the case, we should invite you to dinner next time, so it is more appropriate. Could it be that you are a classmate?" You look down on us, so you don’t want to eat, we treat you to a meal?”

Shen Ye smiled apologetically: "Next time you invite me, today I am really doing my own thing."

"That's good!" Xia Wan'er gave Shen Ye a blank look, "I had a great meal today!"

"Haha, that's good." Shen Ye said with a smile.The group left the restaurant.

After the entrance of the cafeteria, going to the mountain became another problem. After all, there was only one car at the scene, and there must be no room for everyone. Everyone had to call for an extra car.

But everyone looked at Shen Ye's car, and everyone wanted to get in it, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, so now no one wanted to directly say that they would take a taxi by themselves.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xiaoxi immediately guessed what they were thinking, but didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Why don't I go take a taxi, who of you will go with me?"

"No, I'm already ready."

Seeing that Mu Xiaoxi was still so selfless, Shen Ye rolled his eyes.

Shen Ye clapped his hands lightly, only hearing the rumble of the engine, a fleet of luxury cars drove up and stopped in front of the restaurant.

Shangguan Lin and Xia Wan'er opened their eyes wide, almost overjoyed.

These are all luxury cars. It is impossible for them to see them, and it is impossible for them to even sit in them.

This time, it was really thanks to Shen Ye's blessing that he had such an opportunity.

Except for Mu Xiaoxi, the single women present had bright lights in their eyes, as if they were planning some kind of idea.

"These cars... are all yours?"

Xia Wan'er asked with a chuckle.

Shen Ye nodded and said with a smile: "The company's ones are usually used when customers come, but today I just opened them for fun."

"It's so luxurious!" Xia Wan'er said enviously, "Boss, can we drive it?"

"Just so happy to drive?" Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, "If you have a chance, you will definitely feel it."

All the girls chattered with excitement, as if they got a car.

"Get in the car!" Shen Ye waved, and everyone got into the luxury car.

The vehicle started and drove towards Xilin Mountain.

Wu Li looked out of the window and smiled: "Shen Li, you are really powerful, you startled us just by clapping your hands."

"Haha, it's just necessary." Shen Ye was a little embarrassed.

"Needed by work? You just love that explosive feeling!" Wu Liyi pointed out.

"You boy, what a mess." Shen Ye rolled his eyes at him, but smiled.

After getting out of the car, everyone took a deep breath and narrowed their eyes comfortably.

"Come on, let's go up the mountain!" Wu Li waved.

"Wu Li, hurry up, I want to get to the top of the mountain first!" Chu Yiyi laughed.

"Yiyi, you're doomed, my mountain climbing skills are top-notch!"

"Wait and see!"

The two laughed and ran up the mountain road, and the others followed.

Shen Ye and a few boys took the lead, some girls followed, some were carried or pulled, and the scene was lively.

"Shen Li, aren't you tired?" A girl said with a smile.

Shen Ye turned around and smiled: "You must have fun when you're young! That's why I'm not tired."

He grabbed a branch casually, turned around and easily jumped to a higher place, attracting a lot of amazement.

"A master!" Xia Wan'er said enviously.

"I'll teach you when I have time." Shen Ye said without looking back.

"Really?" Xia Wan'er asked happily, but she didn't hear a response. She saw that Shen Ye had already climbed high, laughing with a few boys.

This is a beautiful mountain, and many people like to climb and hike here.

Wu Li, Chu Yiyi, Shen Ye and others were going to climb to the top of the mountain in one go, and then enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain.

However, because everyone's pace was different, the crowd gradually dispersed.

In the end, only Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi walked together.

Shen Ye was wearing a mask, and Mu Xiaoxi was a little cautious because he didn't recognize her.

Shen Ye noticed Mu Xiaoxi's expression, and took the initiative to break the silence: "Do you like the scenery here?"

Mu Xiaoxi nodded slightly, smiling: "Yes, the scenery here is really beautiful."

Shen Ye also smiled: "I think so too."

The two continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, during which Shen Ye communicated with Mu Xiaoxi from time to time, which made Mu Xiaoxi relax a lot.

Suddenly, the sky began to rain lightly, and the two had to find a tree hole to hide.Shen Ye took out an umbrella from his bag and handed it to Mu Xiaoxi.

"Use it first, I'll be fine if the rain hits me." Shen Ye said with a smile.

Mu Xiaoxi took the umbrella, but still felt a little embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Come in and take me, we won't all get wet together, so as not to catch a cold."

Shen Ye smiled: "Alright."

Shen Ye walked into the umbrella, and Mu Xiaoxi took the initiative to move aside to make room for the other party.

The two bodies are separated by a certain distance, but under the narrow umbrella, they still appear a little ambiguous.

Mu Xiaoxi smelled a familiar smell, it was a fresh and elegant fragrance, very similar to the scent of Shen Ye, her high school crush.

This made her a little dazed, and she quickly told herself that this was just an illusion, the person in front of her was named Shen Li, and it didn't match her memory at all.

However, the familiar smell was still lingering, and Mu Xiaoxi even felt that it seemed to be stronger.

She involuntarily glanced sideways at Shen Ye beside her, hoping to find a flaw or mismatch in her appearance.

But except that the mask covered most of her face, everything else fit the image in her memory too well, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Is it really the same person?If so, why did Shen Ye change his name?

More importantly, the background of the person in front of him is completely different from the background of the person he knows, so it should not be him.

Everything that happened in front of her eyes seemed too bizarre, which made her feel very confused.

Just when Mu Xiaoxi was thinking wildly, Shen Ye suddenly spoke, with a little doubt in his voice: "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you? Are you looking at me?"

Mu Xiaoxi was taken aback for a moment, but the other party actually called Xiaoxi directly, feeling familiar.

She quickly shook her head in denial, but found that her tone was also a little blunt: "No, I'm just looking at the rain scene."

The sound of the dripping rain resounded between the two of them, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Mu Xiaoxi knew that this was an absurd reason, but he couldn't find any other reason.

She could only listen to this plausible explanation, but she was even more confused in her heart—is this a coincidence, or is the other party really her high school crush?
The momentary doubt and confusion made Mu Xiaoxi feel a little at a loss.

She knew she needed to find out the truth, but didn't know where to start.

And the mysterious Shen Ye in front of him didn't seem to want to explain more.

Everything came to an end here, leaving Mu Xiaoxi who was confused, surrounded by thousands of questions under the umbrella.

The rain soon stopped, and the sky was once again sunny.

Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye put away their umbrellas and prepared to move on.

The two walked one after the other on the mountain road, but Mu Xiaoxi felt as if she was still trapped in the mist under the umbrella just now, unable to find a way out.

She secretly looked back at Shen Ye, the other's calm face did not show any embarrassment or strangeness just now, which made her feel a little discouraged.

It seemed that she was the only one involved in this unanswered puzzle, and Shen Ye was indifferent to everything, unmoved in the slightest.

This obvious gap gave Mu Xiaoxi the illusion that he was thinking wildly.

Maybe she was really just being misled by some tiny signs, leading to paranoia.

But how to explain that familiar breath and expression?Are these details really just her misjudgment?
While hesitating psychologically, Mu Xiaoxi also hesitated in his footsteps.

She slowly fell behind Shen Ye, as if as long as she kept a certain distance, she could escape those entangled questions.

But in fact, they followed behind her, refusing to relax even a step.

Just as Mu Xiaoxi was guessing wildly, Shen Ye smiled, saying that he didn't care, and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.

Finally, the two climbed to the top of the mountain, and there was a beautiful scene in front of them.

The clouds and mist on the mountain peaks, the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind is crisp and sweet, and the sunlight in the sky shines through the clouds on the ground, making it extraordinarily warm.

Soon, everyone also climbed to the top of the mountain, saw Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi talking and laughing on a big rock, and ran over one after another.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?" Shangguan Lin said with a smile, "Could it be a date?"

"Yes, private meeting!" Xia Wan'er also laughed.

Mu Xiaoxi tilted her head and said helplessly: "You people really talk nonsense, we are just resting."

"Really?" Shangguan Lin raised her eyebrows, "Then you are sitting so close!" Mu Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed, and wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Shen Ye smiled, and said to Shangguan Lin: "Then why don't you come and sit so close?"

Shangguan Lin was taken aback, smiled and shook her head: "I don't have that kind of luck, just leave it to Xiaoxi!"

Mu Xiaoxi's face flushed slightly, and everyone booed again when they saw this.

She stood up and waved her hand and said, "You guys are so annoying, walk around, go down the mountain!"

"That's true!" Xia Wan'er smiled and followed Mu Xiaoxi with the others.

Shen Ye also stood up, smiled lightly at Shangguan Lin and said, "Do you need me to help you go down the mountain?"

Shangguan Lin waved her hand: "No need, I still have some physical strength, hurry up and chase your stream!"

"Xiaoxi?" Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, "Whose family's Xiaoxi?"

"Pretend!" Shangguan Lin pouted, pulling Shen Ye to catch up with the others.

When Mu Xiaoxi heard their conversation, his heart moved, but he just pushed Shen Ye casually: "You too, let's boo with them!"

"I'm just echoing the atmosphere, and most of the time I'm still laughing without saying a word." Shen Ye laughed.

"Hmph!" Mu Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at him, but couldn't help but laugh.

A group of people jokingly went down the mountain, laughing and laughing all the way, without the restraint just now, this outdoor activity was successfully concluded.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult. People who have already suffered from climbing the mountain can only go down slowly.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult. Everyone was already exhausted from the long climbing trip, and now they can only choose to go down the mountain slowly.

Mu Xiaoxi chose the way down the mountain, and everyone else followed her.

Everyone was laughing and joking, talking about the food and drinks they wanted to eat after going down the mountain, and the atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed.

Only Mu Xiaoxi quietly followed at the end of the line, without the slightest expression of relief on his face.

She knows that her choice means evasion, which means that all questions will be hard to find an answer.

But she really didn't know how to face them, how to continue to walk with Shen Ye under full of doubts.

So she chose the simplest and most cowardly method - going down the mountain, away from all confusion and puzzlement.

But the reality is that those questions followed her footsteps and did not disappear because of her choice.

They just followed quietly, occasionally passing by her heart, bringing a little bit of bitterness.

Mu Xiaoxi knew that these questions would come to her again at some point in the future, because she had to find an answer, and she had to understand what was going on in front of her.

At the same time, Shen Ye walked alone at the front of the team, a certain distance away from Mu Xiaoxi.

Looking at the other person's back, Mu Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little strange - who is this person?Does she really know him?Why are there so many questions surrounding him, making him so unpredictable?

Now she has only one choice, and that is to stay away.But Mu Xiaoxi understood that this was not a real solution.

Just like the questions that followed her, the mystery of Shen Ye will definitely reappear in her life, reminding her to find the truth.

The process of going down the mountain seemed to be extremely long, and Mu Xiaoxi felt that every step she took was running away from something, yet approaching something.

This conflicting feeling made her feel tired, but at the foot of the mountain, when everyone was about to leave, she reluctantly got up.

It was strange that she had somehow developed a crush on this masked man.

Mu Xiaoxi took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
