Chapter 779: 762, all present when going uphill! (3)
Pu Sangzhi saw that there really was a bright red period stain on the back of Mu Mu’s beige pants, and it was indeed quite noticeable.
No wonder she had been hiding in the bathroom for so long...
"I didn’t bring any extra pants either..."
Mu Mu hung her head low, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s.
Pu Sangzhi could tell she was feeling remorseful and distressed, so she quickly tried to think of a solution, "Do you have dysmenorrhea? Can you still walk? We have quite a bit of exercise coming up."
"No dysmenorrhea..."
Mu Mu shook her head, "But, I don’t know what to do... I can’t go out like this..."
"Do you want to go back to the school?"
Pu Sangzhi suggested, "We’re about to climb a mountain, and there are no toilets up there. I do have one more pad, but can you manage?"
Mu Mu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing her mute appearance, Pu Sangzhi guessed, "Do you still want to climb the mountain?"
It was then that Mu Mu spoke softly, "I want... to watch the sunrise with you guys..."
In fact, she had been looking forward to this opportunity for quite some time.
She had been very excited about spending the weekend hiking with her friends to watch the sunrise.
Mu Mu was an introvert with few close friends.
Since starting university, she had been fortunate to find such easy-going friends.
In her heart, she also longed to watch the sunrise with everyone, share a tent, and have a picnic together...
Moreover, she had never watched the sunrise with Yong Mu before.
She had been particularly looking forward to experiencing this ’first’ with Yong Mu on this trip...
However, her period had arrived, most inconveniently.
She hadn’t anticipated this...
If she had thought of it earlier, she would have taken medication in advance.
That’s why, when she discovered it just then, a heartbroken Mu Mu stealthily wiped away a tear in the bathroom.
"Can you still walk? Can you manage it?" Pu Sangzhi asked with concern.
As she finished asking, Minal and Wei Zixuan also arrived at the bathroom, perhaps wondering why the two of them hadn’t come out yet.
"What’s happening? What are you guys talking about? Aren’t you going out yet?" Minal asked.
"Mu Mu has her period."
Pu Sangzhi replied, "It’s gotten onto her pants."
"Ah?"
Minal couldn’t help but walk around behind Mu Mu to glance at her pants.
Indeed!
The beige pants were particularly good at showing stains!
It was very obvious!
Minal gasped, "Ah, what can we do? Did you bring an extra pair of pants? I have brought sanitary pads!"
"No," Pu Sangzhi replied for her.
"Then..."
Minal had a moment of inspiration, "Why not take off your jacket and tie it around your waist? That’ll cover it up!"
"But, it gets colder as we go higher up."
Pu Sangzhi reminded Minal, "It’s already chilly during your period, plus dressing lightly in high altitude areas can easily make you sick."
"That’s true..."
Minal sighed...
But soon, Minal thought of another solution, "We could get Zheng Dong to bring out his blanket from the tent and wrap her with it, right? Would that work?"
"That could work."
For the first time, Pu Sangzhi felt that Minal was quite resourceful, "Mu Mu, would that be okay? And can you still handle the hike?"
Mu Mu nodded, "I can."
Next to her, Wei Zixuan said, "But think about it carefully. Climbing the mountain is exhausting, it takes at least two and a half hours at a quick pace. If we walk slowly, it could take us up to three and a half hours."
"I can..."
At that moment, Mu Mu’s eyes showed a stubborn determination, "I want to go up with you guys..."
"There’s another problem, there are no toilets up there. What will you do?" Pu Sangzhi asked again.
"This..."
Minal raised an eyebrow in thought, "That’s tricky... Could we put them in a plastic bag and then carry it away?"
This question really stumped everyone.
Pu Sangzhi, Minal, and Wei Zixuan looked at each other, unable to come up with a good solution.
After all, carrying such garbage down the mountain was too disgusting...
And the idea of relieving oneself on the ground during one’s period was pretty gross too...
The mere thought of it was unimaginable...
Mu Mu herself knew this problem might be unsolvable, so she pursed her lips, "Maybe... I should just go back to the school... I don’t want to cause any trouble for everyone."
"Mu Mu."
Pu Sangzhi lightly patted her shoulder, "No one could have anticipated this situation. If we had gone back on the same day, we might not have even needed to think about the bathroom issue."
If they were to return on the same day, they would have had to gather at 6 in the morning for the ride, now it was a 9 o’clock gathering. By the time they arrived here, it was already 2 in the afternoon, and the bus back was definitely gone.
So, it was quite an unexpected turn of events...
"There’s nothing we can do about it now. We can only go back, otherwise, there’s no place to go to the bathroom further up. Poor Mu Mu, let’s hug~"
Minal hugged Mu Mu and patted her back to console her.
After the girls came out of the bathroom, they pulled Zheng Dong aside to a corner, informed him about Mu Mu’s condition, and indicated that Mu Mu needed to go back to school first.
"It’s not safe for her to go back to school by herself..."
Zheng Dong said, "I brought you all out here, I have to be responsible for you. How can I let you go back to school alone? It’s such a long way..."
"But, if Mu Mu doesn’t go back to the school, there are no toilets up there," said Pu Sangzhi.
"Oh dear..."
Zheng Dong sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, then don’t go back to school today. There is a farmhouse nearby; I’ll take you to get a room to stay for the night. You can wait until tomorrow when we come down, then go back together. I will apply to the club president to reimburse the accommodation fee, so you don’t have to worry."
Yong Mu, who had been silently paying attention and had keen hearing, overheard the conversation.
Without saying a word, Yong Mu walked over and asked Mu Mu directly, "Do you want to go back?"
Mu Mu looked at him and said, "I can only go back."
Then Yong Mu said to Zheng Dong, "I won’t go up then, I’ll go back with her."
Zheng Dong shook his head, "That won’t do, with two people dropping out, I can’t be at ease. Just let the junior stay at the farmhouse for now, and we will all go back together tomorrow. I’m familiar with a farmhouse here, it’s safe."
Yong Mu looked at her and said, "Then you stay at the farmhouse first."
"Okay..."
Mu Mu nodded.
However, a while later, she hesitated and said, "Can I possibly go up to the mountain’s peak with you all? Then, I’ll go down to the farmhouse... Since I’m not going back, I still want to climb the mountain with you..."
"Oh, Junior! The stubborn spirit of mountaineering and seeking distance fits so well with the outstanding traits of Tsinghua people!"
Zheng Dong was moved by her words, but!
Zheng Dong still refused her, "But I’m also worried about you going down the mountain alone. And are you strong enough for it? Aren’t girls very weak during that period?"
"I... I can manage..." said Mu Mu eagerly.
"I’ll take her down the mountain."
Yong Mu also said, "Moreover, I’ll go down with her and stay at the farmhouse. I’ll skip the sunrise and wait until you all come down to go back together tomorrow."
"How can that be okay!"
Zheng Dong still refused, "I’m not comfortable with the two of you going down the mountain together! If you two get lost, that’s my responsibility!"
So Pu Sangzhi, who was nearby, suggested, "Then let’s all go down the mountain together. We can stay at the farmhouse tonight, or just take a taxi back to school."
Zheng Dong still refused, "Are you kidding me? Staying at a farmhouse for one night is very expensive, think about how much it will cost with so many people! Taking a taxi is also expensive, one car alone will cost over 400, with so many people, the club funds wouldn’t be enough."
"No matter the method, I’ll pay," Yong Mu stated with a tycoon’s tone.
The words he uttered made him shine like he was covered in gold!
"Oh, don’t fight about it..."
Then, Huo Feng, who had figured everything out, also came over.
Huo Feng slung an arm over Zheng Dong’s shoulder and said directly, "Big Brother Dong, let them go up the mountain. If they want to go down later, spend a bit of money to have the villagers take them down to the farmhouse on horseback. Look, those villagers are waiting with their horses for business, don’t worry about it."
At the Ling Mountain ticket booth, although cars couldn’t drive in, lazy people still had their lazy methods of climbing the mountain.
Villagers nearby would ride horses back and forth on the road from the Ling Mountain ticket booth to the summit every day, offering services for horseback riding up and down the mountain for those who lacked the physical strength or were lazy.
Of course, this service comes at a cost.
"Right, I’ll accompany her on a horseback ride down the mountain. When it comes to paying, don’t worry," Yong Mu once again spoke like a tycoon, reassuring everyone!
Huo Feng patted Zheng Dong’s shoulder and said, "Our Brother Mu is a second-generation rich kid, if he says he’ll pay, he will. Don’t worry, Big Brother Dong."
"But... just the two of you going down the mountain..." Zheng Dong was still concerned about their safety.
"We’re all adults, aren’t we?"
Huo Feng said, "Otherwise, why don’t you accompany the two of them down the mountain? Mu will pay for your horse too."
"That’s just... too much trouble..." Zheng Dong hesitated.
"That’s why I’m saying..."
Huo Feng said confidently, "Don’t worry. Hurry up the mountain. Let’s get them down before it gets dark."
"Sigh..."
Zheng Dong sighed, "Alright then. It can only be this way..."
"Hey, Little Qingmei."
Huo Feng called out to Mu Mu, "If you can’t walk, just say so early, let Brother Mu pay for a horse for you to ride up."
Mu Mu nodded, feeling happy inside because Huo Feng helped solve her problem...
"Then I’ll take you to the farmhouse first..."
Zheng Dong said responsibly, "Come with me."
After much circling around, spending half an hour...
Finally, at around 2:40 pm, they started climbing the mountain...
