Chapter 101 - Distress

The two of them slept until ten in the morning of the next day. He Ruiting woke up relatively early, and when he opened his eyes, Su Jinyi was still sound asleep, with no signs of waking up at all.

Just then, Su Jinyi's phone suddenly rang, she heard the sound, and frowned as she turned around. He Ruiting reached out to grab her phone, and then pressed the answer button.

"Jin Yi, in the afternoon, we discussed going to the side to climb the mountain, do you want to go?" Just as the call connected to the phone, He Ruiting heard Xiao Qiu's hubbub.

"She's still sleeping. I told her to come back to you later." He Ruiting looked at the person in his arms and replied softly.

Xiao Qiu, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned, then stuttered: "Um, um, alright, you guys sleep slowly, I, I won't disturb you guys any longer."

Then, without waiting for He Ruiting's reply, Xiao Qiu directly hung up the phone.

"Who is it?" Su Jinyi was in a daze as she mumbled to herself.

"No one. Let's sleep a bit more." He Ruiting casually placed his phone to the side, then coaxed Su Jinyi to continue sleeping.

With this sleep, Su Jinyi slept until almost midnight. She rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, while He Ruiting sat by the window and read a magazine.

"You're awake?" He Ruiting could feel her movements, but seeing that she was sitting up, he asked, "Do you still want to sleep?"

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I'm going to faint." Su Jinyi shook her head, wanting to clear her mind.

Su Jinyi recuperated and became a little more clear-headed. As if she had thought of something, she asked: "Did someone call me this morning?"

"Xiao Qiu asked you if you want to go climb the mountain." He Ruiting replied.

"Go!" Su Jinyi responded without hesitation. Then, she immediately gave Xiao Qiu a call back.

After returning the call, Su Jinyi started to clean herself up. She made an appointment with Xiao Qiu and the others before slowly making her preparations.

He Ruiting first took her out to eat lunch, then only then did he start to pack his things. Actually, the mountain they talked about, was not very high, it was just that the mountain path was rather dangerous, and it would take some time for him to get up.

Originally, He Ruiting wanted to go with them, but he received a call from someone on the side. He wanted to take care of some things, so he told Su Jinyi that he would catch up later.

The group of people majestically set off. That small mountain wasn't far from here, and they would arrive very soon. Su Jinyi, Xiao Qiu and the rest were walking in the middle of the group. Su Jinyi's stamina was not very good, but in order to not fall behind, she did not walk in the back.

Next to the mountain was a small forest. The group of people were walking in a very dense group. They were afraid that someone would fall behind or get into some sort of accident.

"Everyone be careful, the mountain road ahead is a bit steep." The person at the front shouted loudly towards the back.

"Sis Jinyi, are you alright? Do you want to rest a bit? " Seeing that Su Jinyi's footsteps had obviously slowed down, Wang Chen asked with concern.

"Why don't we take a break? I can't walk anymore." Xiao Qiu was extremely tired.

"Let's sit for a while then. We'll catch up later." Su Jinyi looked at the convoy in front.

As Su Jinyi said that, she took the opportunity to sit on a rock to the side.

"Who was the first to say that they were going to climb the mountain? This really isn't a good idea." Xiao Qiu found a rock and sat down.

"But you are still here." Su Jinyi laughed and said.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come." Thinking about that, Xiao Qiu became gloomy. She had heard from the people at the hotel that the mountain scenery was pretty good, that was why she wanted to see it, "I never thought that the mountain would be so steep, it's not good to climb."

"Climbing mountains isn't easy at all." Su Jinyi said.

"If I want to go back now, will I?" Xiao Qiu sullenly looked, and in her heart, she started to retreat.

"We're already halfway through the climb, it's such a pity to go back now." Wang Chen said.

"Yeah, Wang Chen is right, since we're already halfway there, giving up now is a pity." Su Jinyi said as well.

Xiao Qiu drooped her head, every single pore on her body expressing her unwillingness: "But, I'm really very tired!"

"Alright, stop complaining." Su Jinyi stood up from the boulder, walked to Xiao Qiu's side and reached out to pull her up, "Let's go, we need to hurry up and catch up with the team."

"Alright, I'll persevere for the sake of the beautiful scenery." Xiao Qiu clenched her teeth, and was pulled by Su Jinyi as she continued walking.

Wang Chen silently followed behind them to ensure their safety.

The three of them could no longer see the shadows of the main group, and it was not easy to leave as well. Su Jinyi walked very carefully, but she would always do whatever she was afraid of.

Xiao Qiu was in the middle of the three of them, when suddenly, her feet slipped and she started to fall to the side. Wang Chen reacted quickly to catch her, but, Su Jinyi anxiously turned around, and as she was unable to stand steadily, her body tilted, and she fell to the ground.

"Jin Yi!"

"Sis Jinyi!"

Xiao Qiu and Wang Chen shouted at the same time.

Before they could even react, they saw Su Jinyi rolling down the slope.

"What should we do? What do we do now? " Xiao Qiu grabbed Wang Chen's arm, completely at a loss of what to do, "Call, call!"

Xiao Qiu anxiously took out her phone, but there was no signal. She tugged on Wang Chen's arm and anxiously asked: "What about you?"

Wang Chen also looked at his own phone and said in disappointment, "There's also no signal."

"Jin Yi, what about Jin Yi?" Xiao Qiu panicked.

"You wait here, I'll go down and find it." As Wang Chen spoke, he took off the bag on his body and casually threw it on the ground.

"Wait a moment!" Xiao Qiu pulled him back, "You go down alone. What if you get lost too?"

Wang Chen was startled, he thought for a moment, and felt that Xiao Qiu's words made sense, but, in this situation, it was the first time he had met such a thing, and his heart was panicking.

"Can you go back alone?" Wang Chen looked at her and asked.

"I can!" Xiao Qiu said firmly.

Fine, go down the mountain and look for help. I will go down to look for the Sis Jinyi first and leave these things here as markers. Wang Chen could only think of such an arrangement.

"Alright, I'll go get someone." Xiao Qiu said, then turned and headed back.

"Sister Xiao Qiu, be careful." Wang Chen shouted towards her back.
