"What's going on now?"
"Of course. I've transferred all my property under my name to you. But if you leave, you'll get nothing."
Shi Wan sneered. "Do you think I look like someone short of money?"
"But if you leave, you won't be able to see or touch this face of mine. And you won't be able to feel my abs either."
Shi Wan: "..."
She did lack that.
Moreover, she also lacked spiritual power.
"I get sick of looking at your face."
"Then don't look. Just being able to kiss me is fine."
Shi Wan glared at him. "Why are you so shameless?"
"Want you. Is that okay?"
She smacked her lips and suddenly didn't know how to reply.
Should she be a bit more reserved?
Before she could figure it out, the man kissed her and murmured vaguely, "How about it?"
"For now, it's okay."
"Heh." Shen Siyan let out a low laugh. "Little lustful girl."
"Aren't you?"
"So I'm a lecher." Pinching her lips, the man kissed her with a smile. "A perfect match."
...
When Shi Wan returned to school, she was suddenly informed that she had to go on an archaeological expedition.
The senior sister she had met before found her. "Wanwan, get ready. This counts as a practical training course."
Shi Wan: "..."
Was it that intense?
She had only been in school for a few days!
"Just bring your own stuff. The teachers will take care of the rest."
"When are we going?"
"We're leaving this afternoon. Do you want the teacher to explain your courses?"
"No. I'll go find the counselor to ask for leave first."
"Okay. Gather at the school gate on time at four this afternoon."
Shi Wan nodded and went to ask the counselor for leave.
Since it was Shi Wan and it was during class, it was easy to get the leave approved.
Shi Wan asked someone to send her clothes and then followed the group.
"Teacher, where are we going this time?"
"To City S."
"Okay."
The leading teachers in front were all from the research institute and had a lot of experience in this kind of work.
They were Du Peng, An Bin, and Gui Lancui.
The one who had just spoken was Du Peng. Among these teachers, he was the most talkative.
On the way, he never stopped talking. Shi Wan was so sleepy listening to him, but she was afraid of missing any important information.
Finally, after a whole day on the bus, they finally arrived in City S.
Shi Wan let out a sigh of relief. If she had listened to him any longer, she really wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"Teacher, the route is this way."
"Let's go. There are people up ahead. Let's go and ask them."
"Hello, little girl. Could you tell us how to get to Jiding Mountain?"
A few girls instinctively took a step back. After making sure they weren't bad guys, they said, "You go in the right direction. It'll take about half an hour to get there."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Wait. What are you going to Jiding Mountain for?"
"Tourism." Du Peng smiled. "I'm taking my relatives here for a trip."
"Are you locals?"
The three girls nodded. "We're locals."
"We're not familiar with this area. How about asking you girls to show us the way? Don't worry. We won't be stingy with the reward."
They weren't familiar with the area, and the locals must know some shortcuts that could save a lot of time.
"Sure." Hearing there was money, the girls were very willing. "Then follow us."
"Xia Yun."
"Mengmeng, it's okay. They don't look like bad guys."
Qi Meng looked at the innocent Xia Yun and didn't know what to say. It wasn't that she was afraid they were bad guys. It was just that these people were from the city and must be hard to get along with.
Before she could explain, Xia Yun and another girl had already led the way in another direction. "Follow us. I can tell you're in a hurry. This road will be faster, but the path is usually not easy to walk on. You should be mentally prepared."
"It's okay. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
"Junior Shi Wan, are you okay?"
A senior in the group asked.
Shi Wan looked aloof and didn't talk much, but she was still a delicate girl who had never suffered. It was her first time here, and no one knew if she could handle it.
"I'm fine. I used to go up the mountain a lot."
There was a time when her family was short of money. Her grandma often took her up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits.
She had walked on even more difficult mountain paths than this. This was just a piece of cake.
The senior suddenly remembered something and silently followed behind her without saying a word.
"You often go up the mountain but still need us to show you the way?"
Qi Meng muttered discontentedly.
Everyone was taken aback and felt a bit embarrassed. Just because she often went up the mountain didn't mean she knew this completely unfamiliar place. It was normal not to recognize the way.
"Little girl, what's the name of this place?"
Du Peng smiled and changed the topic.
The atmosphere quickly became lively. Except for a few people who didn't like to talk, everyone else was fine.
The shortcut was fast, but it was really difficult to walk on.
After only about ten minutes, a girl in the group started to pant but didn't say anything.
"How about we stop and take a break?"
The teacher noticed something was wrong and suggested.
"Okay..."
"If we rest any longer, it'll get dark. We still have to go back later. Moreover, you've already been walking slowly and have wasted a lot of time."
Qi Meng said discontentedly.
"Little girl, we're really sorry. Our bodies aren't very good..."
"If your bodies are so bad, why come climbing? Aren't you just causing trouble for others?"
"Mengmeng, stop talking."
"Can't I even tell the truth?" Qi Meng sneered and turned around to leave. "Love to go or not. Don't waste my time."
"Teacher..."
"Everyone, hold on a bit longer."
Du Peng and the other two teachers didn't look too happy either. In an unfamiliar place, they still had to endure.
"Teacher, let's keep going. We're okay."
"Everyone, take these."
Shi Wan took out a few pills from her pocket and handed them to them.
Remembering Shi Wan's other identity, the others didn't hesitate and took the pills.
"So you're secretly eating here. How stingy. We've been working hard to show you the way, but you don't even offer us any."
Qi Meng, who had sharp eyes, said sourly.
"Mengmeng, stop talking."
Xia Yun and another girl tried to stop her, but were both glared back by Qi Meng.
"Here for you."
Shi Wan had also intended to give them some, but they had walked too fast. She had just finished distributing to the teachers and didn't have the energy to catch up with them.
"Humph. Who wants it?" Qi Meng stepped forward and slapped the pills away. "Can you even eat this? You're not trying to harm us, are you?"
"I'm really sorry, everyone. Mengmeng is just straightforward. She's actually a good person."
Xia Yun and the girl grabbed Qi Meng and said apologetically with full faces.
Qi Meng turned her head and didn't say a word. Her words and actions already showed that she was extremely unhappy.
Shi Wan lowered her eyes, stepped forward and crushed the pills that had fallen on the ground, and said coldly, "We'll pay the reward. It's a deal, and it's all about mutual willingness. If you're not willing, just leave. No one is forcing you. We're not spending money to be insulted."
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying it's our fault for showing you the way?"
"So, are we supposed to be insulted just because we're spending money? Did anyone force you to do this in the first place? Are you really showing off your superiority as a local in front of us?"
"You!"
Yes, she just thought these people were from other places and definitely couldn't do without their guidance.
