"How about this, the four of us are just divided into two groups. One group of us will go to this road, and the other group will go to another road, and then we will have a competition to see who will reach the top of the mountain first. Anyway, the distance between the two roads is the same. Almost…" Tina suggested.
Nianmu glanced at Mu Shaoling and then at Dong Zijun, but they didn't say anything.
She said, "Okay, Tina, I'll be with you."
If I was in a group with Tina, Mu Shaoling would be in a group with Dong Zijun, so that she would be more at ease without seeing him for at least a while.
Tina glanced at the other two, and they didn't make any objection, so she said, "Professor Nian, have you ever heard a saying? A man and a woman can work together without getting tired."
Nianmu looked at her, but didn't answer...
"How about this, Dong Tezhu and I are in a group. The two of us have been colleagues for many years. We have a tacit understanding. We will take one of them and the other. You and the boss will go together." , not in the same group as Nianmu.
The matching of men and women is just an excuse for her. If it is true that men and women match, she would not dare to be in the same group as Mu Shaoling.
Take the initiative to propose, what if Mu Shaoling misunderstands?
Before Nian Mu had time to raise objections, Dong Zijun said, "That's it, boss, I will take the path on the left with Chair Tina, and you will take the path on the right with Professor Nian, see you at the top of the mountain. "
He made a quick decision, leaving Nianmu no chance to object.
Tina nodded, and followed Dong Zijun to the left.
Nianmu stood at the same spot, looking at Mu Shaoling who was standing there with him... his eyes met and he didn't speak.
After a while, Mu Shaoling said, "Let's go."
"Mr. Mu, do you really want to compare with them?" Nian Mu asked helplessly.
"You didn't object just now, the competition has already started." Mu Shaoling said, walking forward step by step, but when she turned around, she was still standing where she was.
"I have no habit of losing, let's go." He urged again.
At this moment, Dong Zijun and Tina had already turned a corner, and there was no one there.
Nianmu had no choice but to keep up with Mu Shaoling.
the other side.
Dong Zijun praised Tina, "I just realized that you have so many thoughts on this."
"How to say?" Tina pretended not to understand.
"You are giving the boss and Professor Nian a chance to be alone." Dong Zijun was also unambiguous, and directly pointed it out.
"I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that God gave me two roads, so I took advantage of the situation to help. Do you think I didn't notice? Along the way, the boss looked at Professor Nian except for the steps under his feet. The beautiful scenery can't catch his eyes at all, so now that I have such an opportunity, I will go along with the flow and work hard, maybe the boss will increase my salary later!" Tina said with a smile.
Dong Zijun knew what she was thinking, "Have you ever wondered why the boss keeps looking at Professor Nien?"
"I've thought about it, but I don't know if I'm thinking right, but after thinking about it, I don't think the boss is that kind of person..." Tina said, looking at Dong Zijun with a smirk, "Assistant Dong , we are not in the company now, do you know why the boss is so abnormal? Tell me?"
Dong Zijun shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about it. If the boss thinks that your arrangement is not good, he will deduct your salary every minute."
"Ah? No way?" Tina was startled by his words, "Don't, I'm just kind."
"Then you just pray that what you do will make the boss happy." Dong Zijun deliberately fooled her.
"I hope." Tina was fooled by him, she was full of confidence just now, but suddenly became worried, hoping that Mu Shaoling would not be angry because of her clever arrangement.
the other side.
Nianmu and Mu Shaoling walked all the way up, except for the occasional drink of water and rest, the two of them didn't even have unnecessary conversations.
Although she felt that this silence was a bit awkward, she never thought about breaking it.
After all, Mu Shaoling didn't talk much in the first place.
The two stopped there after walking halfway.
Because the mountain road was blocked by some obstacles, "This is..." Nianmu couldn't help but question, looking at the piled up stones, he frowned.
Mu Shaoling also frowned. Logically, this artificially developed mountain road should not have such stones blocking the way.
"Mr. Mu, shall we go back now?" Nian Mu asked, leaving him to make up his mind.
Mu Shaoling glanced at the road ahead, there were still rocks, he guessed, "It should be mined manually, the stones are rotten on the mountain road and have not been removed in time, you should be able to continue climbing by bypassing this road."
This mountain road has already been mined, so it should not be blocked all the time. If it is so blocked and cannot be walked, there should be a staff reminder when it is down the mountain.
It would be a waste of energy for them to turn back and join Dong Zijun now, and they were about to reach the top of the mountain, so he made such a decision.
Nian Mu nodded and said, "Okay."
Holding his trekking pole, Mu Shaoling first walked to the ground without stone steps, and then stretched out his hand towards Nianmu, "Be careful."
Seeing the outstretched hand, Nianmu was stunned for a moment, but in the end he didn't take it, but stepped on the ground full of mud, "Mr. Mu, I can walk by myself, you should pay attention to your feet and lead the way."
Seeing that she was unwilling to hold his hand, Mu Shaoling didn't force him, and continued walking forward.
He continued to walk along the stone steps, and there were some stones in front of them, so he went around. They were walking up, but they were also away from the stone steps.
Nianmu didn't say anything, but followed him all the time.
As the sky gradually darkened, she raised her head, looked at the sky through the densely packed trees, and asked, "Is it getting dark?"
Mu Shaoling looked up and saw that it was indeed dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain. If it really rained at this time, it would be difficult for them to walk here.
"Hurry up and go back to the stone steps." He ordered, leading the way ahead.
"Okay." Nianmu kept up with his pace, insisting on not having any support, with one hand supporting the soil with a trekking pole, and the other hand supporting the trunk of the tree.
The two walked in tandem.
Suddenly Nianmu's foot slipped, she subconsciously said "ah", and fell to the ground.
Mu Shaoling turned his head, and Nian Mu was already rolling down.
He stepped forward quickly and wanted to grab Nianmu, but he couldn't match the speed of her rolling down, and finally she collided with a tree and cried out in pain.
Mu Shaoling walked over quickly, Nianmu looked at him with teary eyes, and noticed that when he walked over, he staggered a few steps and almost fell down.
"How are you?" After walking to her side, he immediately knelt down and looked at her.
