Chapter: 5763
He speculated that if Wu Feiyan came to Shuanglang, she would probably arrive sometime tonight and tomorrow morning. It would be perfect timing since we are camping here tonight and can have a few drinks in the evening. This way, they might not leave early tomorrow morning, and there will be more people to provide cover.
The two of them brought their purchased gear back to Turtle Back Mountain when it was almost evening.
The group of outdoor enthusiasts who had arrived earlier also called over some friends, setting up eight tents. They are now enjoying the sunset and preparing dinner while relaxing.
Seeing Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er return with a big load of equipment, the young man referred to as Lao Hu approached them and said, "Hey, guys! We were just saying you might not come after all, but who would have thought you actually showed up!"
Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er beside him and laughed, saying, "What can I do? My girlfriend wants to camp, so I have to join her too."
Lao Hu pointed to the empty space next to their eight tents and smiled, saying, "We deliberately set our tents up tight, leaving a space for you. You can pitch your tent over there. We're planning to build a fire and grill some skewers soon, and we'll all get together later!"
Ye Chen nodded his head and laughed, saying, "Thanks, guys."
After that, he walked forward and handed the bag of wine and water to Lao Hu, laughing, "I was actually planning to scrounge food from you guys, so I bought some bottles of wine. Let's all have a drink tonight!"
Lao Hu chuckled and pulled out a wooden guitar from beside him on the grassland, saying with a smile, "Great! We'll have dinner together, then gather around for an evening bonfire party in this big mountain. We won't bother anyone, so we can really let loose and drink wine and sing songs!"
Facing this young man's invitation, known as "Lao Hu," Ye Chen gladly agreed to come, saying with a smile: "Since that's the case, my friend and I won't be formal now!"
Lao Hu chuckled: "Ah! Don't be too formal, everyone is friends from five lakes and four seas, mutual care is also our excellent tradition."
As he spoke, he asked Ye Chen: "Brother, what do you call yourself?"
Ye Chen was about to speak when Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "My boyfriend's surname is Lin, called Lin Chen, everyone can just call him Ah Chen!"
Ye Chen listened in shock, probably understanding Lin Wan'er's intentions, after all, she was waiting for Wu Feiyan here, whether it was Ye Chen or Lin Wan'er, Wu Feiyan would definitely not be unfamiliar with them.
However, he didn't expect Lin Wan'er to give himself a nickname "Lin Chen" and even a pet name "Ah Chen".
He thought to himself: "Ah Chen? This nickname sounds like a hairdresser's."
At this moment, Lin Wan'er said again: "I'm Ye, my full name is Ye Xiaowan, everyone can just call me Yezi."
Everyone nodded in agreement, then Lao Hu smiled and said: "Ah Chen and Yezi, welcome to our 'Dian Nan Drifter' family, we're all coming from Dian Nan on foot, before we didn't really recognize each other, it was through the process of walking that we got to know each other and accompanied each other to this day."
"He introduced himself again, saying: 'My name is Hu Lèqí, and Lè means to enjoy, so my friends just call me Lao Hu. It sounds a bit feminine, though.'"
"Then he gently grasped the girl who had been taking care of setting up the bonfire earlier, introducing her as: 'This is my girlfriend, Shūrǎn, a graduate student from Tsinghua University. We met on this trip and are now together.'"
"After introducing everyone, Hu Lèqí volunteered to say: 'Ah Chen, I think you're not used to going camping often. Why don't I help set up the tent for you guys first?'"
"Ah Chen thanked him, saying: 'No need, brother. I'll do it myself later, there shouldn't be any problems.'"
"Hu Lèqí spoke seriously: 'Don't hesitate to speak out if something's wrong, okay?'"
"Ah Chen nodded in gratitude, feeling a bit ashamed inside."
"It was because only he knew that these people treated him like acquaintances, while he needed to use them as a shield for himself and Lin Wan'er, which felt somewhat unscrupulous." JrNovels.com
