The next day, Saturday morning:
Before dawn, Chen Yu was woken up by the vibration of his phone's alarm clock.
Opening his eyes and looking at the sky outside the window, he got out of bed, stretched his waist, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom and put on his clothes. He then nudged Chen Yike, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Hey, you're awake. It'll be dawn soon. Let's go."
"Huh?" Chen Yike asked in a daze, "Where are we going?"
"Hiking. Are we going or not?"
"Yes!" The girl immediately woke up and hurriedly got up to put on her clothes. "We agreed to climb a mountain last night. I forgot."
"Go wash your face first. I'll wake up Second Eldest and Third Eldest."
"Okay."
After waiting for Chen Yike to leave, Chen Yu walked up to Chen Erke and knocked on her head. "Hey, you're awake. Let's go climb a mountain."
"Huh?"
Rubbing her eyes, Chen Erke said, "I... I want to sleep..."
"Didn't we agree to climb a mountain last night?"
"I want to sleep..."
"Don't blame me, then."
Sneering, Chen Yu raised his butt and aimed it at Chen Erke's face...
The sound of farting could be heard.
"..." Chen Erke's nostrils flared, and her eyes widened. Struggling to get up, she said, "Ah!
Cough, cough!
Ahh! "
"Don't move!" Chen Yu hurriedly held Chen Erke down. "Take a deep breath and feel it with your heart."
"Chen Yu!
Let me go!
Cough, cough... You're disgusting! "
"Do you smell the fragrance of jasmine?"
"Ahhh..."
"Lie down and don't get up. Sleep well."
"I... I... Ah!" Struggling to break free from Chen Yu's restraint, Chen Erke sat up and gasped for air.
"Farts are gas. They will rise," Chen Yu kindly reminded.
"Too much!" Chen Erke hurriedly held her breath, jumped out of bed, and ran out of the bedroom with her clothes.
"Small fry."
Feeling pleased with himself, Chen Yu turned to look at Chen Sanke. Just as he was about to repeat the same trick, he discovered that the little girl had already put on her clothes and fled.
"... It's so uncomfortable to hold it in." Chen Yu scratched his head.
"W-Where are you guys going?"
At this time, the last child in the room, Liu Xiaojun, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm going too."
"Sleep well."
"No, where are you going?" Liu Xiaojun said, growing more spirited. Jumping out of bed nimbly, he grabbed Chen Yu's thigh and said, "Take me with you."
"Look at my face," Chen Yu suddenly said.
"Ah?"
"Yawn …" Opening his mouth, Chen Yu let out a big yawn, revealing the fake teeth inside his mouth.
Invisible brain pulses immediately spread, stimulating Liu Xiaojun's cerebral cortex to continue heating up.
"Ugh …" Liu Xiaojun blinked his eyes and felt a wave of exhaustion and drowsiness wash over him. He became dazed. "I … I want to go too …"
"Yawn." Taking advantage of his victory, Chen Yu let out another huge yawn.
"Zzz …"
Liu Xiaojun immediately fell asleep standing, his body falling forward.
Hurriedly, Chen Yu reached out and hugged her, placing her back on the bed. He then walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
"I'm ready. Let's climb the mountain!"
Chen Yike wiped the water off her face and said in high spirits, "Climb faster, we should still be able to see the morning sun."
"Second Bro, Third Bro, have you washed your faces?"
"I'm done." Patting her cheeks, Chen Sanke said, "I'm clean."
"Hmph!" Turning her head, Chen Erke glared at Chen Yu.
"Let's set off now, then."
After giving the order, Chen Yu grabbed Chen Sanke's hand and led his little sisters out of the room. They then made their way toward West Mountain.
West Mountain was located north of Wafang City's stadium. It was a small mountain with a height of no more than 400 meters.
There was a park at the foot of the mountain, and a pavilion at the top of the mountain.
There were only two ways to climb up the mountain.
One was a winding mountain path, while the other was a straight flight of stairs.
Since they were going to climb the mountain in the early morning, the Chen family's four young masters naturally chose the latter.
After crossing a wide road, the four arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up at the mountain shrouded in the morning mist, Chen Yu said faintly, "I grew up here when I was young.
At that time, I heard that there were wolves on the mountain. "
"Wolves?" Chen Erke's complexion instantly paled. Subconsciously, she grabbed Chen Yike's sleeve and asked, "There are wolves?"
"Don't listen to me."
Rolling her eyes, Chen Yike said, "This is a mountain in a city. The surrounding area is filled with residential areas. How can there be wolves?"
"There really are wolves," Chen Yu said seriously.
"At that time, aside from this side of the stadium, the other side of the mountain was undeveloped. Aside from wolves, there were even bears. So, when I was young …"
"You didn't dare to go up the mountain when you were young?" Chen Erke interjected.
"That's why I kept running deep into the mountains when I was young."
Chen Yu's three little sisters: "…"
"Yet, I never saw any wolves." Shrugging regretfully, Chen Yu said, "I even used meat to attract them, but I didn't see any.
What a pity. "
"Brother, you're lucky to be alive," Chen Yike said. "At least you don't have to die now."
"Is that so …"
Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at his invisible watch and muttered to himself, "I keep feeling like I'm getting more and more dangerous …"
Two minutes later, the Chen family's four young masters climbed over the guardrail and started climbing the stairs.
The stairs were relatively steep, so Chen Yu followed behind them to protect his three little sisters and prevent them from falling.
However, after walking for a short while, Chen Erke squatted down while panting.
"What's wrong, Second Eldest?"
Pointing at her legs, Chen Erke said, "They're soft."
"Didn't you say you could reach the top of the mountain in one go last night?" Chen Yu ridiculed without hesitation.
"I can't take it anymore. I'm so tired." Sitting on the stairs, Chen Erke panted heavily. "We're climbing stairs, not climbing a mountain."
"Hurry up. It'll be dawn soon," Chen Yu urged.
"No, I'm so tired. Let's rest for a bit! Just a bit!"
"Brother, let's rest."
Chen Yike also squatted down and panted. Handing a bottle of water to Chen Erke, Chen Yu said, "Second Eldest's physique isn't too good."
"It's a 400-meter-tall mountain, yet you're already tired after climbing 40 meters?
Are you made of paper? "
"Hmph!" Chen Erke snorted in dissatisfaction as she drank the water.
"Big Brother."
Standing beside Chen Yu, Chen Sanke calmly looked up at the top of the mountain. Suddenly, she asked, "W-Why are we climbing a mountain?"
"Uh … This question seems a little profound."
Stroking his chin, Chen Yu pondered. After a while, he pointed at the top of the mountain and majestically said, "Because the mountain is there."
Chen Erke and Chen Sanke couldn't understand what Chen Yu meant.
However, Chen Yike scorned, "What kind of stupid reason is that?"
"This is philosophy and depth. You don't understand."
"Why are criminals acting like hooligans, then?
Is it because, girl, it's there? "
Chen Yu: "..."
"Why rob a bank?
Is it because, money, it's there? "
Chen Yu: "..."
"Why swindle?
Is it because, the fool, it's there? "
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu scrutinized Chen Yike and said, "As expected of a member of the Chen family. Your train of thought is similar to mine."
Chen Yike: "..."
"Why lick the iron door?" Realization dawned on Chen Sanke. "Because the door, it's there."
"How intelligent!" Rubbing Chen Sanke's head in surprise, Chen Yu asked, "Why are your snacks gone?
Because the snacks are there. If you don't eat them, someone else will. "
"I see." Realization dawned on Chen Sanke.
Chen Yike: "..."
