Xi Mo knew this himself.

The reason was that he wanted to tease her every time he saw her. Every time she let down her guard, he would tease her and scare her away.

After playing with the water for a while, Wen Hua noticed that the wooden sign in front of her was marked with the word ‘Snake Cave’. She excitedly called her roommates to go and see it together.

The ‘Snake Cave’ was really just a cave, a very wide cave.

There were dim orange lights in the cave, and the glass separated different kinds of snakes. Rong Qiu grabbed Wen Hua’s arm and looked at them one by one in fear.

She was really afraid and loved to look at them.

Wen Hua’s expression remained the same from the beginning to the end, and she kept comforting her. “Don’t be afraid, the glass is separated, it won’t come out.”

The deeper they went, the wider the path became. The snakes also became bigger and bigger. The snake tongues their bodies in their own territory. Some of them even stood up straight when they saw the tourists.

The students around them gasped in surprise. Wen Hua patted Rong Qiu’s back and the two of them walked in front of the group.

Suddenly, the eye-catching word ‘python’ on the stone wall above them came into view. There was a python totem around the word. It looked gloomy and mysterious. The word ‘cowards are not allowed to enter’ was especially marked on the side.

“Do you dare to go?” She asked Rong Qiu.

Rong Qiu exhaled. “Go! Let’s go and see how big it is.”

The secret chamber was dark and cold. It was half the size of a classroom. It was fan-shaped and half surrounded the tourists. The walls were mottled, and there were a few large rocks on the ground, covered in withered grass.

The python was hiding in a dark place. The two of them searched around but did not find it. Hence, they were filled with nervousness and curiosity.

The main group was still at the back. There were only the two of them in this gloomy secret room. Rong Qiu gulped and pulled Wen Hua. “It’s scary. Let’s go.”

“We haven’t seen the python yet. I’ve never seen it and I want to take a look.”

“It’s scary inside. When I was young, I saw a movie. There was a hole in the glass door of the zoo and a python ran out. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed a lot of tourists.”

Wen Hua felt a chill down her spine for no reason. “Let’s look for it again. If we still can’t find it, we’ll go back.”

Outside the secret room, a boy looked at the words at the entrance of the cave and called out to Xi Mo with interest, “There’s a python. Brother Xi, let’s go in and take a look?”

The group of people saw a thrilling scene as soon as they entered. A big python slowly approached the two girls through the crack in the stone. Wen Hua and Rong Qiu stared at the other side, completely unaware of it.

“Hua Hua, look at the black thing on the stone over there. Is it possible that it’s the tail of a snake?”

Wen Hua looked at the blurry pile on the stone and scrutinized it for two seconds. “That’s the skin of a snake.”

From the width of the skin, one could tell that the snake was big.

Xi Mo looked at the python that was trying to scare them. Just as he was about to warn them, he saw the two people not far away turn their bodies sideways.

This time, they bumped into each other.

Caught off guard, the two people turned around and saw a thick and long black python with its mouth wide open, revealing two fierce teeth. It arched its body and pounced towards them.

Frightened by the horrifying scene, their screams echoed in the cave. The two people ran back in a panic.

Until they bumped into Xi Mo, Wen Hua’s mind was still numb and her legs were weak. If it weren’t for him supporting her, she would have collapsed on the ground.

She panted heavily with a stunned expression.

Xi Mo looked down at her and grabbed her arm with one hand to prevent her from losing her balance. “Are you scared silly?”

Rong Qiu was supported by the boys in the class. She took a few deep breaths before saying, “D*mn, this python is too sinister! It actually launched a sneak attack. It gave me a big scare.”

Wen Hua exhaled a few times. Recalling the scene just now, all the hair on her body stood on end. She stammered, “It looked at me with a very terrifying gaze… as if it really wanted to eat me up. If it wasn’t for the glass blocking it…”

The python was thicker than a bucket. When it stood up, the pressure was too strong. Its terrifying vertical pupils were suffused with a dark light. She accidentally looked at it. It was too evil and made people’s scalps go numb.

Thinking about it now still made them shudder.

“It wasn’t deliberately trying to scare you.”

“No!” Wen Hua denied it. “Rong Qiu didn’t see it, but I did. It stared at me. Do you think it could be something evil that wanted to curse me and let me die a horrible death…”

Xi Mo knocked on the top of her head. “You have such a rich imagination. Have you watched too many horror movies?”

He did not hit her lightly. Wen Hua held her head that was hurting from the hit, her eyes filled with tears, “The pupils of the other snakes are not like this one. It must have cursed me. Look at my good looks… isn’t that how it is in fairy tales? Witches want to curse when they see beautiful girls. What should I do? I might become ugly in the future. Should I call my father and ask him to ask a mage to perform an exorcism on me?”

She might have really been frightened. She was talking nonsense and had even become a little chatterbox. Everyone present was amused by her overreaction.

A few boys looked at her in amusement. “Wasn’t Wen Hua very calm just now? She walked in front of the crowd with a bold look on her face. Why is she so frightened now?”

Rong Qiu glanced at her. “Are you alright, Hua Hua?”

Although she was timid, her reflexes were quick and smooth. Wen Hua’s current appearance was obviously more troubled than hers.

Someone teased, “It’s fine. If you’re scared, just stay in Brother Xi’s arms and calm down.”

Almost half of her body was leaning against Xi Mo, looking weak and unable to take care of herself.

Xi Mo looked down at her. “Can you stand still?”

Wen Hua looked up at him in a daze for a second and nodded.

Xi Mo saw that her reaction was half a beat slower and she was still in a daze, unwilling to let go. He raised his eyebrows. “You can’t bear to let go?”

Only then did she let go of her hand that was tugging at the corner of his shirt.

His thin lips parted slightly. “Those who don’t know would think that you’re taking advantage of me on purpose.”

“I’m sorry,” she said softly.

Rong Qiu watched the interaction between the two from the side, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

After exiting the snake cave, the class teacher arranged for everyone to get on the cable car and get ready to go to the peak.

The cable car drove slowly through the mountains. Looking out of the window, it felt as if she could see the small expanse of the mountains. Wen Hua could not help but exclaim, “It’s so beautiful.”

“What’s even more beautiful is up there. On the back of the mountain is a grand canyon. Both sides of the canyon are fiery red. That’s what it means to reach the peak and be extremely beautiful.”

Looking at the grand canyon from the top of the mountain, the red maple leaves were painted with a bright background color by the season. The entire mountain was fiery red. The rushing green river could be felt even at the top of the towering mountain.

Wen Hua looked into the distance. The wind and clouds were stirring at the top of the mountain, and the mountains and valleys were so beautiful that she was speechless. They all said that climbing in autumn had its reasons.

She exclaimed, “Lucheng really is a good place.”

Rong Qiu smiled. “Since you like Lucheng so much, why don’t you marry here in the future?”

Wen Hua thought for a moment and nodded. “This method is feasible.”

After eating at the top of the mountain, the students went around to have fun. On the way back, someone started singing in the bus. The autumn outing this time was very successful.

Early Monday morning, the students stood in a neat line to hold the flag-raising ceremony.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Wen Hua started her speech on the flag stage.

Fu Ming, who was in the line, had his eyes on her. The male student beside him teased, “Isn’t this your goddess? Aren’t you proud of being so righteous?”

Fu Ming curved his lips and raised his eyebrows. “Of course. I have to follow her example and work hard.”

“Old Xi, did you see the girl who spoke under the flag? She’s my mother’s future daughter-in-law. Isn’t she outstanding?”

Class one and class six were next to each other. Upon hearing this, Xi Mo did not even blink his eyes. “You are still sleepy.”

After Wen Hua finished speaking, the crowd erupted in warm applause, accompanied by a few whistles.
