Liu Tiantou's face had already turned pale with anger, he snarled: "This is sheer blackmail."
Mao Wenjie smiled and extended his right hand, shaking a finger and said: "How can you still be a college student if you don't understand the principle of keeping up with the times? I just got the news. There's nothing for sale above here at all because it costs too much to transport goods up there, so they've canceled the original store.
That's what I call keeping up with the times, and indeed keeping up with the times. Therefore, it is necessarily keeping up with the times.
You can't afford it, but there are plenty of people who can. Keep working hard to make money, and then buy it when you're rich.
The four women nearly laughed out loud upon hearing this, finding Mao Wenjie truly amusing.
Liu Tiantou and the others were so angry that they almost rolled their eyes.
Liu Tiantou clenched his fists to suppress his anger and asked, "How much per bottle?"
Mao Wenjie smiled and said, "Since you're classmates with Jiaqi, I'll suffer the pain and offer you a favor price of 25,000 yuan per bottle."
Yao Yilin and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liu Tiantou was so angry that he was trembling all over, wishing he could run over and beat him up. Nevertheless, he managed to suppress his anger and said, "You just asked for ten thousand yuan a while ago. Now you're directly raising it to twenty-five thousand yuan. How can you say that you consider us as Jiaqi's classmates when if we weren't her classmates?"
Mao Wenjie said, "If you're not classmates with Jiaqi, then I'll sell it to you for fifteen thousand yuan."
Zheng Qi was so angry upon hearing this that he was ready to explode, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'll beat you up if I don't believe you."
Mao Wenjie said with a smirk, "I'd rather you beat me up. A beat-up would make me directly out of poverty. It looks good to me, but how strong is your economic power? That's yet to be proven."
Zheng Qi was speechless after hearing Mao Wenjie's words. He thought for a moment and realized that if he really beat him up, the media would probably make a big fuss, which might lead to the involvement of his family and even lead to untold trouble.
The four of them were so angry that their faces turned green, but they couldn't act on it. It was quite an unbearable feeling!
The more angry they got, the more they got overheated. Soon, they were all thirsty and their tongues were dry, with their lips starting to crack. They urgently needed to hydrate.
Zheng Qi said, "Liu Tiantou, don't waste time arguing with him. Buy some water quickly."
Liu Tiantou took out a bank card, saying, "Here's ten thousand yuan for four bottles of water."
Mao Wenjie said, "Sorry, the price has gone up again. Ten thousand yuan can only get you two bottles. In a while, ten thousand will only get you one bottle. If you want to buy, hurry up; if not, we'll leave."
Zhan Qingfeng said, "I just don't believe I can die of thirst without buying water. I'm not buying his water today."
Mao Wenjie said, "Let's go. We'll go to the Misty Peak and have a panoramic view. We'll sit on the peak, eat fruits, and drink beverages; just thinking about it is exhilarating."
Mao Wenjie walked up the high hill, followed closely by the four women.
Zheng Qi, Liu Tiantou, Ge Hongliang, and Zhan Qingfeng continued to act like a shadow.
The final stage of Mao Wenjie's climb with the four women was indeed heart-stopping. It was a cliffside path soaring into the clouds, and with every step up the stairs, one could feel their heart pounding. Fortunately, Mao Wenjie provided each of them with a rope to pull the four women to the top.
They stood atop the Misty Peak, gazing out at the entire mountain range laid out before them. Perched on a summit enshrouded in mist and clouds, there was a feeling of tranquility, as if their spirits soared light as a feather. Basked in golden sunlight, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, leaving them refreshed and revitalized. Looking up, they saw several fluffy white clouds drifting across the azure sky, endowing it with a sense of companionship. The various small grasses and flowers in the mountains released captivating herbal scents with the help of the zephyr, filling their hearts with joy and serenity. Little bees and butterflies danced around the flowers in song and dance, flitting up and down joyfully. Fresh air would sneak into their nostrils when they let their guard down, making them lose themselves completely. Gazing outwards, rows of houses at the foot of the mountain each had its own charm, exuding a beauty in chaos. Trees were thickly foliated with lush leaves; all the beautiful scenery was spread out before their eyes in its entirety, unforgettable. All exhaustion was carried away by the wind.
Wan Xiaoxue felt moved while looking at Mo Wenjie, who spoke earnestly: "Thank you, Mo Wenjie. Without you, we would never have reached the summit and truly appreciate this beautiful scenery. I never dreamed I could be here in person; it's as if I've entered a celestial paradise. It's so refreshing, so invigorating!"
The other three women echoed in agreement!
Mao Wenjie said, "There's even more refreshing."
He took out fruits, beverages, and various snacks, spread them out on the flat land at the summit, sat down to eat and drink while enjoying the beautiful scenery; isn't that even more refreshing!
Yao Yilin blushed slightly as she looked at Mo Wenjie, her face filled with astonishment. How did he do it? That's why Jiaqi likes him so much; he's always able to surprise you. Such a man is truly a good one.
Jiang Shanshan was also filled with doubts. How did this man do it?
Wan Xiaoxue looked at Mo Wenjie in amazement. How did you do it? We didn't see you carry anything?
Mao Wenjie smiled and said, "The things are hanging on my waist, just that you didn't notice. Don't act like inquisitive babies. Just enjoy the food and appreciate the beautiful scenery!"
The four women didn't hesitate to sit down and enjoy the food and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Yao Yilin exclaimed, "It would be so wonderful to have a cup of good wine at this moment! It would be so delightful and refreshing to toast here and there in such a scene. Even Li Bai, the wine deity of ancient China, couldn't have enjoyed it more."
Mao Wenjie smiled and took out two bottles of red wine. "Good wine is great, but don't overindulge!"
Xie Jiaqi said, "We just want to get drunk here and fulfill our dream of being divine beings! After we're drunk for an hour, you'll help us sober up."
In a moment, the four women's eyes were filled with dizziness, and they began to dance gracefully. Mao Wenjie watched them let themselves go and expressed deep emotion in his heart.
Wan Xiaoxue, with a dazed expression, looked at Xie Jiaqi and said, "Where did you find such a handsome guy as Mo? He's truly enviable! If I had a boyfriend like him, I would have no regrets in life."
Yao Yilin's pretty face turned red, "If Mo were my boyfriend, that would be great!"
Jiang Shanshan couldn't be outdone, "Not only do you two envy him, but I'm also envious beyond words!"
Xie Jiaqi laughed heartily, "What good does it do to envy? Prove it with actions! If Mo could like any of you, I would share him with all of you."
Upon hearing this, the three women chorus, "Che! Show off!"
Xie Jiaqi said, "Don't believe in my magnanimity? Just make your moves and whoever succeeds is the one with the talent."
Mao Wenjie looked at them, seeing that they had already gone crazy to some extent. He used his silver needles to help them sober up and soon, all four of them were back to their senses.
Although they were drunk, they still had some memory in their brains. They looked at Mo Wenjie and felt somewhat embarrassed, their faces turning red.
Mao Wenjie said, "It's getting late; let's head down the mountain quickly!"
The four women followed Mao Wenjie to a slightly more flat area.
Zheng Qi, Liu Tiantou, Ge Hongliang, and Zhan Qingfeng had collapsed on the ground, panting and watching Mo Wenjie helplessly.
Liu Tiantou asked Mo Wenjie if there was any water left, and he would buy it no matter the price.
Mo Wenjie looked at the four people who were severely dehydrated and couldn't help but feel amused. "For money, they don't care about their lives," he thought. "Is money more precious than life?"
Zheng Qi was relentless in demanding that they be sold water.
Mao Wenjie said, "Water can be had, but it's on this condition: the four of you give ten thousand yuan to each of the four girls so they can enjoy a hot spring tonight. Then you can drink as much water as you want."
The four people had no complaints at all. They rushed to transfer the money, waiting for them to finish.
Mao Wenjie put down dozens of bottles of water and headed down the mountain.
Mao Wenjie and the others returned to the hotel, had a simple meal, and then went to enjoy the hot spring.
Wan Xiaoxue said, "If it weren't for Mo Wenjie letting them give me the money, I wouldn't have come to experience this expensive ticket."
Jiang Shanshan said excitedly, "If it weren't for Mo Wenjie, the four of us would have only experienced this hot spring with Yao Yilin."
Mao Wenjie had changed into his swimsuit and was lying in the hot spring pool, soaking himself.
The ticket for the hot spring hotel is over a thousand yuan, and it's not something a common person can afford. The luxurious decoration, humanistic design, multi-elemental colors, and attentive service create an atmosphere of being a king or queen.
Fitness equipment, various training venues, Chinese and Western restaurants, a variety of classic delicacies, over 100 types of pastries, beautiful melodies, all of which make people feel the pressures and strains of life and work. Here everything disappears.
Mao Wenjie was unaware that at this moment, four beautiful women were slowly walking towards him.
Xie Jiaqi said, "How does it feel to soak in the hot spring, Mo?"
Mao Wenjie said, "The feeling is still quite good. Just make sure to control the time well. Afterwards, I'll give you a comprehensive muscle relaxation massage in the restroom. You'll sleep until you wake up naturally."
Yao Yilin, with a slightly flushed face, said, "We also need to relieve stress. You must give us a muscle relaxation massage as well."
Mao Wenjie looked shocked, "I can give Jiaqi a muscle relaxation massage because we're in a relationship. Even if there is some skin-to-skin contact, it's acceptable. But for you guys, I think it's better if the female technician does it."
Yao Yilin teased, "How afraid are you that we will execute you right here? Isn't that what every man dreams of? How can it be that when it comes to you, you start making excuses? Our handsome Mo may be... He he he he!"
Jiang Shanshan agreed, "Yes, we think that men can have a stronger hand than female technicians, and they can relax the tendons and improve blood circulation better. We're not afraid at all, and you're just acting young."
Wan Xiaoxue nodded repeatedly as well, "We three beautiful ladies are not afraid of being messed around by you. Why are you pretending to be pure? Your purity is the clearest to Jiaqi."
Xie Jiaqi, with a flushed face, said, "What are you all talking about?"
Jiang Shanshan giggled and said, "Jiaqi, your red face has already betrayed you. You're still acting as if there's no silver here!"
Xie Jiaqi's face turned so red that it reached her earlobes. She pulled Mo Wenjie and said, "Let's go inside and get a massage."
Mao Wenjie uttered an "oh" and was taken away by the beautiful Xie.
The three women began to discuss among themselves.
Yao Yilin said, "Mo Wenjie is indeed a good guy. He's an ideal boyfriend. But we all missed the chance and can't change anything now. It's too late."
Jiang Shanshan said, "Xie Jiaqi isn't weary of our competition, is she? She's not against us participating!"
Wan Xiaoxue said, "You believe that after being drunk, huh? Do you think she's that generous? And if it were you, would you give up such an excellent man so easily?"
Jiang Shanshan nodded in understanding, "Yes, that's true. If Mo Wenjie were my boyfriend, I wouldn't let others take him. How could she be so generous and let us get involved?"
Yao Yilin also nodded in agreement with their views.
Suddenly, a voice called out, "Mo Wenjie, come out now!"
