Chapter 162 Childhood Friends (17)

After a long time, Chen Ye was finally selected.

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at him with a sly smile, "Choose, truth or dare."

"Truthfully."

Sun Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed that Chen didn't choose the big dare, but he still racked his brains to ask a question, "Who do you like? Is it Zhao Mingwei from Class 2 who sent you a love letter when you were in your senior year of high school?"

He knew that Chen had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't ask the question about first love.

Cui Mingzhe and Duan Xu's eyes fell on Chen Ye. The former had only confusion in his eyes, while the latter had an imperceptible dark color in his eyes.

Chen Ye: "You asked two questions. I will only answer one."

"Then answer the second question. I remember you guys had dinner together at that time. Didn't things develop further afterwards?"

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't notice that the already cold mountain top became even colder after he said this. A gust of wind blew and Sun Xiaoxiao shivered.

Duan Xu stopped playing with the playing cards and stared at Chen Ye, waiting for his answer.

After a moment, Chen Ye said, "I don't like her. There's nothing between me and her."

Sun Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, but he quickly got over it and pulled the others to continue playing.

When Duan Xu was chosen, Sun Xiaoxiao asked, "What about you? What will you choose?"

Duan Xu said: "Big adventure."

"Okay, when the sun comes out, you have to carry one of us halfway up the mountain. You choose."

It is already very difficult for one person to climb a mountain over 2,000 meters high. Carrying another person on your back is too much for even the strongest person. I guess you won’t be able to lift your legs after carrying someone on your back.

Duan Xu nodded, "Okay, I choose Li Guo."

I don’t know if it was bad luck, but Duan Xu was picked several times later. He always chose the big adventure at the beginning, and a minute ago, he was picked again.

Sun Xiaoxiao: "Oh my god, Brother Duan, choose truth or dare once, don't keep doing it."

"Yes, choose the truth once." Chen Ye said.

Duan Xu nodded, "I choose truth this time."

Sun Xiaoxiao is the brainpower of this game, and most of the truth or dare questions and content were thought up by him.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Have you ever liked anyone else?"

Cui Mingzhe said: "No, Brother Li Guo looks like a pure-hearted and aloof academic master. He would like someone else."

Although he and Duan Xu didn't have much interaction, he felt that Duan Xu didn't have anyone he liked. Moreover, they went to the same high school, and Duan Xu was a very famous school idol. If Duan Xu had someone he liked, the news would have spread in high school long ago.

Sun Xiaoxiao stared at Duan Xu, "What do you think?"

Chen Ye's peripheral vision caught sight of Duan Xu, who lowered his eyes slightly and looked in Chen Ye's direction, causing Chen Ye's heartbeat to speed up. Chen Ye turned his head to look at Duan Xu, but Duan Xu had already withdrawn his gaze.

"I liked it."

Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Really? Who is it?"

Duan Xu curled the corners of his lips, "This is the second question."

"Look, the sun is out!" Cui Mingzhe shouted.

The sun that broke out at dawn was shining with golden light, breaking through the clouds. Standing on the top of the mountain, the sun seemed within reach.

There was no need for a flashlight, everything around gradually became brighter, and the coldness on my body was dispelled by the sunlight.

Chen Ye took out a camera from his backpack, composed the picture for a few minutes, and then pressed the shutter.

"Send it to us later, and post it on WeChat Moments."

Chen Ye made an OK gesture to Sun Xiaoxiao, then turned around and asked, "Are you guys taking pictures? I've been studying photography lately, so I want to practice."

Sun Xiaoxiao smiled and put his arm around Cui Mingzhe's shoulders, pulling him to stand in front of the sun. After they stood still, he even made a funny move as if he wanted to eat the sun. He waved at Chen Ye, "Go ahead and take pictures."

The shutter button is pressed and a photo is created.

Sun Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and pretended to eat the sun, while Cui Mingzhe next to him put his hands in his pockets and looked at him as if he was a fool.

Cui Mingzhe walked over to Chen Ye and said, "I can take photos too. Let me take a picture of you and Duan Xu."

After taking down the camera, Chen Ye and Duan Xu stood under the sun.

Chen Ye had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were bright and his eye bags were obvious. Duan Xu next to him did not smile, his expression was calm and he looked very distant, but after Chen Ye grabbed his arm, Duan Xu curled the corners of his mouth.

At around eight or nine o'clock, more people came to the top of the mountain, but there were relatively few people like Chen Ye and his friends who climbed at night.

After packing up, several people started to go down the mountain.

Duan Xu walked in front of Chen Ye, and Chen Ye looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xu said simply, "I'll carry you."

When he said that, Chen also remembered that Duan Xu had just chosen the adventure, which was to carry him halfway up the mountain.

"Forget it, I'll walk by myself. It's quite far from here to the middle of the mountain."

Moreover, he had gained a lot of weight since he was fed by Duan Xu every meal since he went to college. He was really worried that Duan Xu would sprain his waist.

Duan Xu frowned, "If you agree, you have to do it."

He turned around and squatted down, "Come up."

Sun Xiaoxiao said, "Don't worry, Brother Duan has such a strong body that he can carry you. I thought twice before choosing the adventure, because I can't really torture someone to death."

Chen didn't hesitate, he didn't want to leave anyway, he snatched the backpack from Duan Xu's hand and lay on Duan Xu's back.

Duan Xu walked steadily and silently with Chen Ye on his back. Occasionally, they would meet one or two climbers on the road who would look at them strangely, so Chen Ye simply lowered his head.

Even breathing fell on the middle of Duan Xu's back. Duan Xu's back stiffened, but he did not stop walking.

Amid the extremely rhythmic bumps, Chen Ye's eyelids began to twitch.

It seems like I haven't slept all night.

He no longer cared about other people's gazes and put his head on Duan Xu's shoulder, "Brother, call me when we get halfway up the mountain. I want to sleep for a while."

Duan Xu's shoulders felt numb for a moment, he hugged Chen Ye's legs and shook him up, "Yeah."

Looking at the sleeping Chen Ye, Sun Xiaoxiao complained quietly, "Duan Xu was punished, but Li Guo got a good deal."

Cui Mingzhe said: "If you get tired, I can also be merciful and carry you on my back."

Sun Xiaoxiao punched Cui Mingzhe on the shoulder, "Go to hell, looking down on your brother Sun? Tired? I wouldn't be tired even if I climbed ten more mountains!"

Cui Mingzhe rubbed the painful part, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Sun is awesome, let's go, Duan Xu is faster than us even with a person on his back."

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Duan Xu woke up Chen Ye on his back. Chen Ye opened his eyes and looked at the people coming and going around him. He suddenly jumped off Duan Xu's back.

"Why are you all going down the mountain? Why didn't you call me when we were halfway up the mountain?"

Duan Xu said calmly: "You slept too soundly."

Sun Xiaoxiao's legs hurt so much that he could hardly stand up straight. He pressed half of his body on Cui Mingzhe, "Li Guo, just enjoy yourself. I'm almost dead tired from climbing down."

“Didn’t you say that climbing ten more mountains would be no problem?” Cui Mingzhe joked.

"I'm just bragging," Sun Xiaoxiao said, "I'll call a taxi right away, and everyone can go back to their homes, find their moms, have a good rest, and make an appointment next time."

Chen Ye: “It rhymes.”

There is a large flow of passengers here, and it is easy to call a car. Sun Xiaoxiao waved and a car stopped in front of him. He opened the car door and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I'm going back to sleep. Bye."

After saying goodbye to Sun Xiaoxiao and Cui Mingzhe, Chen Ye and Duan Xu also took a taxi home.

After Chen Ye returned, he slept soundly.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up. He went out in his slippers and saw Duan Xu making a phone call in the living room.

Duan Xu quickly hung up the phone, "There's hot food on the table, eat quickly."

Chen also sat down at the dining table, "Brother, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Duan Xu seemed to have been calling more frequently recently, and Chen was a little confused.

Duan Xu had almost no secrets about his affairs from Chen Ye. He said, "It was my aunt who called. She is in the capital and wanted to treat me to a meal."

Chen also nodded and added another bowl of rice to himself, "Do you want to eat?"

"No, I've already eaten."

After dinner, Chen Ye sat on the sofa. Duan Xu put a packet of Chinese medicine in the footbath and then placed the footbath in front of Chen Ye.

"Bubble your feet, or you won't be able to get off the ground tomorrow."

Chen Ye threw off his slippers and put his feet into the footbath bucket. "It's not that exaggerated."

Duan Xu: "You forgot about the school hike in your first year of high school. You walked 30 kilometers and I carried you to school the next day."

The memory of death suddenly attacked Chen Ye, and Chen Ye was embarrassed. At that time, his physical fitness was indeed not good, and he was exhausted after walking two steps. Later, Zhou Ying forced him to exercise and eat a balanced diet every day, and Chen Ye's health improved a lot.

"Okay, I hope my feet don't hurt tomorrow."

Duan Xu said, "I'm going to have dinner at my aunt's house next Friday. Will you come with me?"
