Chapter 4221: They climbed over Ailao Mountain

Originally, no one took Lin Yi seriously and simply regarded him as Xu Lu's friend.

But when they heard this, the two men's attitudes and expressions became noticeably colder.

"Lulu, what's wrong with your friend? We didn't say we were going to be with him."

"Brother Liu, calm down. He doesn't have any other intentions."

The short-haired man had a bad look on his face and sat on a chair nearby, also preparing to eat here.

Xu Lu thought about it and decided to sit next to Lin Yi.

Anyway, I climbed the mountain with Lin Yi yesterday, and he helped me a lot and told me not to go to the main peak of Ailao Mountain.

I have never met these friends on the Internet, so by comparison, Lin Yi is closer to me.

Lin Yi and Jiang Wenhui ate in silence.

No one took the people around them seriously.

Instead, the man with the buzz cut said:

"Some people better keep their word and don't take our route tomorrow. If you have the ability, open up your own route."

"Some people are just like this. They only have a fancy appearance but actually have no ability. They are also very pretentious. Over the years, I have seen many people like this."

The one who spoke was another thin man. He made a sarcastic remark and continued:

"When I climbed Mount Tai last year, I met such a person. He had all kinds of fancy equipment and preparations, and said he could reach the top of Mount Tai in a few minutes. But in the end, he was so tired after climbing one-third of the way up that he had to be carried up by others."

"There are too many people like this. I see them all the time. They don't seem to have any special abilities except pretending to be awesome."

"Who said it wasn't, haha."

The two of them were mocking Lin Yi in a veiled way, and Xu Lu felt a little embarrassed.

"Liu Yan, Wang Hongming, you two should stop talking. At worst, we can just not go the same way. Why are you talking so much?"

"Just a small talk, some interesting stories about mountain climbing."

Lin Yi didn't take them seriously at all. He finished his meal leisurely and left with Jiang Wenhui.

"Brother Lin, what are your plans for the afternoon?" Xu Lu asked.

"Nothing much, just walking around the scenic area."

"Then I'll come find you later."

"Row."

Lin Yi and Jiang Wenhui left, but Xu Lu stayed.

Liu Yan and Wang Hongming's expressions also turned cold.

"Lulu, what's wrong with your friend? Is he too pretentious and takes himself too seriously?"

"It's not what you think. He may not want others to go to the main peak of Ailao Mountain, so you should also consider it. I think there is no need to go unless it is necessary."

"What does this mean? He doesn't allow us to go, and then he goes by himself. It doesn't make sense at all."

"I don't know about that, but I can tell that he doesn't recommend others to climb the main peak of Ailao Mountain."

"If you look at it this way, I feel like he has good intentions and is a pretty good person."

The person who spoke was a girl wearing black-framed glasses, but there were no lenses on the glasses.

Her name is Zhou Li. She is a fitness coach by job. Like Xu Lu, she also likes hiking besides her job.

"Besides, he has a pretty good temper. He didn't get angry even though you two mocked him so much."

The girl who was speaking was named Zhang Yingying. She had a ponytail and was a teacher at an education and training institution, as well as a mountaineering enthusiast.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you two? Are you going to betray me just because I'm so handsome?"

"We don't mean that. We are just being realistic." Zhou Li said:

"But I don't understand why he would go if he didn't recommend others to go."

"I'm not sure about this, but from our interactions, I can sense that he is not a mountaineering enthusiast, but his physical fitness is first-rate. When we climbed the branch of Ailao Mountain, he didn't even breathe for several hours from the beginning to the end. His physical fitness is amazing."

Zhou Li looked at Xu Lu ambiguously.

"How do you know that he has amazing physical fitness? You two wouldn't..."

"Go away, this is nothing. Didn't you see that he brought a female companion with him?"

"What's the point of having a female companion or not? Nowadays, even if you bring your wife, it won't affect anything, let alone bringing a female companion."

"I really admire you guys. You say everything without fear of being overheard. But there is definitely no such relationship between us. Don't think too much about it."

After the joke, the few people stopped talking about Lin Yi.

"Lulu, you didn't listen to him and decide not to go, did you?" Zhang Yingying asked.

"I guess I listened to some of it, and my waist is not feeling well either, so I definitely can't climb anymore."

"What a pity, only a few of us can go."

"Then you all should be careful and bring your equipment."

"Don't worry, we are all professionals. As long as we are here, there will be no problem." Liu Yan said, crossing his legs:

"Old Wang and I have more experience than you, and we have climbed the main peak of Ailao Mountain before. When the time comes, you two will follow us, and I promise to help you conquer Ailao Mountain."

"Uh-huh."

After chatting with a few people for a while, Xu Lu left.

He called Jiang Wenhui, and then went to a cafe in the scenic area, where the two were drinking coffee.

This is an important coffee bean production base in the country. If you don’t taste the local coffee, your trip here would be in vain.

After ordering a cup of coffee, Xu Lu sat next to Jiang Wenhui.

"Are your friends still planning to climb Mount Ailao?"

"I can't persuade them anymore. They insist on going. I can only follow their wishes. Just like Brother Lin said, let them do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Looking at their attire, they all seem quite professional."

"In fact, the ones with really good conditions are Zhou Li and Zhang Yingying. Liu Yan and Wang Hongming are just average, they just like to play more."

“Then we can only wish them good luck.”

"In fact, they are so confident mainly because Liu Yan and Wang Hongming have climbed Mount Ailao before, so they will be the team leaders this time."

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, "Did they also climb Ailao Mountain? The main peak?"

Xu Lu nodded. "That's what they said in the group, but I don't think they necessarily climbed up. Maybe they only reached the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain, and then boasted that they had climbed up."

Jiang Wenhui laughed, "So the two of them wanted to show off in front of those two girls, so they boasted that they would take them to climb Mount Ailao, right?

"There are factors in this regard, but Zhou Li and Zhang Yingying are also good climbers in the circle, but compared with Liu Yan and Wang Hongming, there is definitely a gap, so they are together." Xu Lu said:

"Both of them come from well-off families, so it's natural that they like to travel and climb mountains. Don't pay too much attention to them. Wish them good luck."
