More than half an hour later.
Bai Ye and his group arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. Looking out, they saw a green meadow. The most eye-catching thing was the tents of different colors on the meadow.
Shiyu looked curious. There were many other cars on the way up the mountain, and most of them were heading to this campsite.
"A lot of people really come here to camp. Is this the latest trend?"
Eriri saw this magnificent scene through the window and raised her eyebrows.
"It seems like there are more people camping today than the last time I came here, don't you think so, Mom?"
"Hmm...I think so. Mom doesn't remember it very well."
Kato Hui took out her phone and opened the forum, and after a moment she said:
"Maybe everyone wants to see the first snow in Tokyo this year, just like Eriri. This campground is at a high altitude, so we should see snow on Saturday night."
"If you want to see snow, go to Hokkaido. It's already the second half of the month there. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death if you camp in such cold weather?" Eriri complained.
Bai Ye didn't say anything. He didn't know how to complain about Eriri.
"Zhu Yin and the others said that there's a path up the mountain ahead. Let's keep going."
After meeting up with Zhu Yin, Sayuri took the lead and the two cars drove carefully on the rugged mountain road. It took about half an hour to reach the mountain villa.
"Wooo ...
After getting out of the car, Eriri trotted to the cherry tree next to the villa, opened her arms as if embracing nature, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"It's been so long since I came back. How come the little tree I planted next to it last year has turned into a weed?!"
Shiyu looked at the cherry tree that was taller than the villa, then patted Eriri's shoulder.
"You're amazing! Planting small trees next to big trees. You've played PVZ a lot and even decided to plant them in a reasonable density."
Bai Ye was looking at another villa of the Sawamura family.
At first glance, the mountain villa covers a smaller area than the villa in the city, and the two-story villa is not as good as the three-story villa in the city. But if the grass and trees within sight are used as the yard, the area is much larger than that in the city.
"What a huge villa, Senior!"
After not seeing each other for a week, Chu Hai jumped up and hung on Bai Ye's back as soon as they met.
Feeling the incomparable softness, Bai Ye nodded in agreement.
"It's really big, bigger than the average mountain villa. Why is it so big when going out to sea?"
However, Chu Hai didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words, and ordered him to carry him around the villa.
"I don't know. Shouldn't I ask my aunt about this? I've been thinking about it and I can only come up with a rough answer."
"What is it?"
"Rich and willful!"
Bai Ye carried her around the villa on his back. When he came back, he saw Sayuri opening the door and preparing to move things into the house, so he put Chu Hai down and quickly went forward to help.
Chu Hai also came to help and asked the same question.
"Why did Auntie build a villa in the mountains?"
"I used to think that when I get older, it would be nice to live in the mountains with my family sometimes, or even permanently."
"Oh, then why is it so big? It's more than enough for three people, and we won't be having parties like in the city."
"Well... I didn't think much of it at the time. The budget wasn't used up anyway."
Chu Hai nodded to show that he understood, then turned around and said to Bai Ye who was moving things:
"Senior, the answer is really that you have money and you can be willful!"
Bingtang was also huffing and puffing as she worked hard to move things, treating it as today's exercise. When she unloaded a heavy box, she couldn't help but wonder:
"What's in this?"
"Oil heater," Eriri replied. "Our mountain villa doesn't have floor heating, so we rely on two oil heaters for warmth. Um... there's also a furnace that's always on, but I wonder if it's broken."
Although one person was more than capable of moving the oil heater, Bingtang naturally would not refuse seeing that she was willing to help.
"Let's move in together."
"Yeah, turn it on right after we move in and warm up the house first."
Everyone worked together and moved all the necessary supplies into the villa while the sun was still half visible.
Taking advantage of the break, Kato Megumi visited the villa like everyone else and saw something interesting that was rarely seen in the city.
"Is this a fireplace? Is it decorative or functional?"
"It's a practical item," Sayuri explained. "The front faces the living room, the back is the bathroom, and it leads directly to the two rooms. It also uses a fresh air system. Once it's turned on, the whole villa will be warm."
The next second, Sayuri's eyes became a little embarrassed.
"However, this fireplace has only been turned on once to verify its reliability. So, it hasn't been used for four or five years."
"Why not?" Kato Megumi continued to ask.
"Because my mom and I usually come here for vacation in the summer, and we have an oil heater and air conditioning, burning the fireplace is too troublesome..." Eriri opened the fireplace cover and looked up cautiously. "Hmm - did those people clean the fireplace? That's great~"
The villa looks like a two-story building from the outside, but when you get closer you realize that most of the activity areas are on the large flat floor on the first floor, and the second floor is just two rooms that are less than half the area of the first floor.
"So are we going to sleep on the first floor tonight?" Chu Hai asked.
"Yes, otherwise how do we divide the two oil-fired heaters? The upper room can't accommodate four people, so we all squeeze in the living room... It's not that crowded, anyway, it's warmest to sleep together." Ying Lili said.
"That's right, sleeping together feels like a vacation." Bingtang agreed.
On this side, Shiyu walked around the villa from inside to outside, and when she came back, she jumped into the kotatsu that Eriri had just set up without saying a word.
"Hey--!" Eriri protested, her hands on her hips.
"Thank you, the kotatsu is very comfortable."
"This is my first time using the kotatsu in the mountain villa this year—" Eriri gritted her teeth.
"You have so many firsts, Xiaobai must be so happy~"
At this time, Zhu Yin parked the two cars by the woods and returned to the villa. As soon as she entered the door, she quickly walked to the fireplace and rubbed her hands.
"It's really colder in the mountains than in the city, and it's getting colder..."
Chapter 935 Can you stay with me for another minute?
Sayuri Sawamura found Bai Ye in the kitchen, who was about to start cooking.
The villa kitchen is an independent kitchen, some distance away from the living room. As long as the door is closed, it is difficult for sound to be transmitted outside.
"Mr. Xiao."
Bai Ye turned around and saw Sayuri closing the door gently and then walking towards him slowly.
His eyes inadvertently passed over Sayuri's chest, and Bai Ye remembered the misunderstanding caused by the seat change, and was a little afraid to meet Sayuri's eyes.
"Auntie, is there anything wrong?"
Sayuri Sawamura held his shoulders from behind, her eyebrows lowered, her expression seeming helpless and amused.
"Xiao Jun has a harem, but sometimes he acts like an innocent little boy~"
When Bai Ye turned around halfway, Sayuri's slender fingers pressed against his face.
"Does Xiao Jun care about what happened this afternoon?"
"I... am a little embarrassed..."
Bai Ye has his own principles. He doesn’t care how he touches his own woman, but he feels embarrassed if he touches a woman who is not his.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a small matter." Sayuri Sawamura comforted her, "Accidents are inevitable. If Xiao Jun keeps caring about it while I don't, it will always seem like I'm a careless person."
"In my eyes, my aunt has never been a casual person." Bai Ye said in a serious tone.
"That's right~"
Neither of them seemed to notice that they were very close to each other, a distance that ordinary friends would never surpass.
Sayuri's center of gravity of half of her body was leaning on Bai Ye. Although only her hands were in contact with Bai Ye's shoulders, her shoulders and chest were close to Bai Ye, as if they could touch each other's body temperature with just a breath.
"I'll cook."
"Bai Ye raised his hand to stop her from taking the potato.
"Let me do it. Auntie is tired from driving, so let's take a rest. Dinner will be ready soon."
"No." Sayuri explained, "Eri wants to make a bonfire in the backyard, but I don't know how. Xiaojun, go help her. It will be dark if you're any later."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Then I'll go make a fire and come back to help you in a moment."
"No, I pickled some meat and vegetables when I was home. Dinner will be ready soon. Xiaojun, after you light the fire, come play with everyone."
"This...Is Auntie too tired?" Bai Ye looked apologetic.
"Listen to your aunt, Xiao Jun, spend more time with the harem. Don't mind your aunt being here, just treat it as if you were at home."
"Well, if it's that kind of thing, I'll have to ask Aunt to bear with me."
Sayuri Sawamura smiled slightly, and everything was said without words.
"Could you help Auntie tie her apron?"
Because he had done this before, Bai Ye agreed without much hesitation and carefully tied the apron for her.
He didn't touch any places he shouldn't have touched, but he received Sayuri's sweet words of gratitude and the fragrance of her body.
……
Bai Ye came to the living room and saw Ying Lili, Bingtang and Chu Hai carrying benches, a grill tent and walking towards the backyard.
"Let's go camping, Bai Ye, come and help!"
Camping in the wild in such a cold weather, Bai Ye didn't know who gave Ying Lili the courage. He was afraid that after the excitement wore off, she couldn't stand the cold and kept crawling into the heater.
Of the remaining three, Shiyu and Akane were using their laptops in the kotatsu, while Xiaohui was making tea.
“Is there a signal in the mountains?”
"Of course there is, temporary unlimited wifi." Shiyu raised the small thing in her hand.
"Shiyu, try not to move the signal light, the wifi is down."
"Oh, sorry...Xiaobai-kun, please put the signal machine next to the TV."
After putting the things away, Bai Ye came back and saw Shiyu typing and Zhuyin looking at unknown data.
"What's the difference between what you do here and what you do at home?"
"Yes, inspiration came when the environment changed." Shiyu said.
"Me too. The change of environment makes me feel better."
Bai Ye had nothing to say. He touched the two people's long black hair at the same time, and then went to the backyard in response to Ying Lili's call.
The cold wind blew towards him, instantly perking him up.
"Huh—the sun hasn't completely set yet, and my body temperature is as cold as it is at 10 pm. If it gets any later, it will be terrible..."
A circle of weeds in the yard had been removed, probably by the cleaner.
Yinglili had already taken out the tent and was looking at the instruction map with Bingtang, while Chuhai was walking in circles around the campfire with charcoal on the side, looking at a loss as to where to start.
"Senior, help me light a fire."
"How can you light a fire with just charcoal? Where's the tinder and firewood? It's not safe to burn it with a flamethrower without stones around." Bai Ye spread his hands.
"What should I do?"
Bai Ye had anticipated such a scene and handed her the woven bag, tools, and a suit that he had prepared in advance.
"Let's go to the woods and chop wood before it gets completely dark."
"Still need to chop wood?!" Chuhai was shocked.
Bai Ye turned and looked at the other two people.
"Can you...set up a tent?"
"It's okay, Aye! I'll take care of it!"
