Chapter 4: Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck! 4
The next morning, the chirping of birds woke Su Han from his sleep.
The lawn exudes a subtle fresh scent that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Su Han got up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly felt his foot kicked something soft. Uh... it seemed to be breathing?
She quickly pulled aside the messy quilt, and saw a brown-haired head suddenly appear in her sight - Xu Zhe was curled up, sleeping next to her, his long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face, his profile was impeccable, perfect and handsome.
Su Han was so frightened that his scalp went numb and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".
Did Xu Zhe not leave yesterday? Did they sleep together all night?
Xu Zhe was sleeping soundly. I don’t know what sweet dream he was having, but the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky.
Su Han's heart was beating fast, and she quickly crawled to his side and pinched his nose.
"Xu Zhe? Xu Zhe!" Seeing that he didn't move, she raised her voice, "Get up now!"
"What happened? What exploded?" Xu Zhe opened his eyes blankly and got up. His hair was messy from sleeping, just like a big cat with messy hair.
Su Han lowered his voice helplessly: "What explosion ? You...why did you sleep with me yesterday?"
He scratched his hair: "Huh? I slept here yesterday? With you?"
Su Han said "hmm" angrily. She thought he would be extremely ashamed, but she didn't expect this guy to have such a nasty smile on his face.
"No wonder I slept so soundly yesterday!"
Su Han kicked him and said, "Get out of here!"
If it was a little later, Li Su would have seen Xu Zhe being kicked out of Su Han's tent.
Li Su didn't sleep well last night. She woke up several times due to the rampant mosquitoes and the uneven ground. As soon as she saw the dawn, she immediately jumped out of the tent.
Because she didn't get enough rest, she was very concerned about the return trip and volunteered to use the most popular online ride-hailing app to contact a driver to pick them up.
She patted her chest and boasted : "He is a five-year driving veteran with a very good rating! He is said to be humorous and good at chatting! This app won't lie!"
Everyone was looking forward to it and after waiting for half an hour, the veteran driver who received five-star reviews finally arrived, exhausted.
He spoke in awkward Mandarin: "Oh, your place is so hard to find... Sorry, my phone ran out of battery halfway through the journey, so the map navigation doesn't work! Okay, okay, hurry up and get in the car!"
Seeing his unreliable look, everyone except Li Su felt uneasy.
Everyone got into this tattered extended version of the van. The car drove slowly on the road. At first, you could still see cars coming and going on the main road, but gradually, the surrounding area became sparsely populated with houses, the lights were dimmed, and the houses were all written with bright red "demolition". The road was very empty, let alone cars, even people were hard to see. Next to the road was farmland, a green piece, and you could see trees in the distance.
"Wait! Why are we here again?" After driving for an hour, Su Han felt like he had seen that area of houses five times.
Everyone turned their eyes to Li Su - the place was too remote and no one's cell phones could receive network signals. Only Li Su's phone had a navigation map stored in it.
Li Su finally determined his current position and chose the direction to go, but the "five-star rated" veteran driver stepped on the accelerator and the car stalled with a "puff". Then, no matter how he tried to start the car, this shabby little van would never start again.
"What the hell, I need to find someone to fix my car now."
It was not until this time that Li Su had to admit that the experienced driver he found on the Internet was unreliable. Not only did he fail to return to the city smoothly, but the car stalled in the wilderness.
After discussing it, everyone decided to go look for a car separately.
Zheng Hao walked to Su Han and helped her lift her schoolbag: "Su Han, let's go together."
Su Han was about to say yes, but Xu Zhe snatched her backpack away: "No, Su Han still has to follow me. Isn't Li Su your sister? You should take care of her, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhe didn't care about Su Han's reaction and pulled her away.
The sun shines through the shade of the trees from above.
They walked for a while, until they could no longer see the other people. Su Han couldn't help but say, "Hey! Xu Zhe, why are you always like this? You clearly know..."
"Know what? Know that you want to be alone with Zheng Hao?"
Su Han's face turned red immediately. When Xu Zhe saw her like this, his handsome face turned gloomy and he kicked the pebble on the ground hard.
"Just because I know you think so, I can't let you be with him!"
His voice was so soft that Su Han couldn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?"
Xu Zhe raised his head and looked forward for a while: "Nothing! There seems to be something in front, can you see it? Is there a car parked there?"
Su Han also stood on tiptoe and became excited: "It seems like there is a van. Let's go over and take a look!"
However, when they got closer, they found it was just an empty shell of a van, and it was rusted beyond recognition.
Xu Zhe suddenly threw his backpack off his body in a childish manner and sat down under a tree: "Ah! I'm so angry. I walked so far and it turned out to be a fake car!"
How long have we been walking? How can we be so tired?
Su Han looked at him speechlessly and had no choice but to rest under the tree as well, completely forgetting the previous topic.
After setting off again, both of them were very quiet.
The breeze gently caressed my face, and the path in the suburbs seemed endless. No matter how far I walked, there were green mountains and dense forests ahead, and no one could be seen.
"Su Han, do you feel like something is wrong?"
After walking for a long time, Xu Zhe suddenly spoke, which scared Su Han.
"What's wrong?" She looked around nervously, "Don't scare me, I hate listening to ghost stories the most!"
Xu Zhe touched his smooth chin and said helplessly: "That's not what I meant... My phone is in your backpack, right? Let me see if there is any signal and contact Li Su and the others first!"
"Oh..." Su Han finally felt relieved and said casually, "Isn't the backpack with you? You took it from Zheng Hao before and didn't give it to me."
In an instant, the scene became silent, and the air around seemed to have stopped flowing.
Su Han looked behind Xu Zhe in confusion and finally realized what was wrong.
"Backpack! Where's the backpack?"
…
"Tell me quickly! Did you forget it at that broken car just now? Xu Zhe!"
Since he had been discovered, Xu Zhe had no choice but to respond with difficulty: "Yes, just now when we were resting, I took off my backpack..."
"Oh my God, let's go back!"
The two turned around hurriedly, but were stunned when they saw the complicated roads behind them... Which road had they come from before?
