In the standard double bed room, Lisa and Momo were curled up under the quilt, only their little heads poking out. The soft night light was on, and the two stared at each other with wide eyes.

After a long while, Momo gave an embarrassed smile and didn't say anything.

Lisa was speechless: "No matter what you're thinking, stop it right now! I didn't do anything with Senior Jungkook, we were just...playing Go."

Her voice grew softer, a little guilty.

Momo smiled and said, "The room has such a big bed, clothes thrown everywhere, Senior Jeon completely naked, what kind of erotic Go were you two playing?"

Lisa: ......

No explanation needed! Think what you want!

She pulled the quilt over her head and closed her eyes.

Just then, Momo suddenly asked again: "Little Lisa, have you ever thought about what your future boyfriend would be like?"

Lisa opened her eyes and looked at the nightlight on the wall, its soft halo of light like a lone sailboat in the darkness.

"Sun Wukong," she said.

Momo looked at her, puzzled.

Lisa murmured, "When I was little, I always thought that my future boyfriend would be like Sun Wukong. He could climb trees, fight monsters, somersault 108,000 li. If I was captured by a monster, no matter where he was, he would come over mountains and rivers to rescue me."

Momo frowned, "That's...too unrealistic."

"I know."

That was Lisa's first naive fantasy about love when she was blossoming into womanhood.

Other than Sun Wukong, she couldn't imagine what her future sweetheart would be like.

"Forget about his 72 transformations, where are you going to find a boyfriend who can climb trees?"

Lisa had never thought about this question before. She asked Momo, "What about you then?"

"I don't ask for much. Just someone cheerful and optimistic, a typical sunshine boy. Silly and clueless about everything. It's okay if he's a bit of a coward, but if I'm in danger, he would run to save me without hesitation."

Lisa: "Okay, you can stop now. That's just Mingyu himself, thank you."

Momo's old face turned red. "Last time in the escape room, he got so scared by the NPCs, but still came running and crying to save me in the end."

"You remember it till now."

"I do."

Lisa looked at her solemnly, "But momo, have you thought that if it was someone else, me or miyeon, Instructor Xu would have saved us all the same. He's a good guy, nice to everyone."

Momo pursed her lips. "I know, you don't have to say it."

Everyone understands the logic, but not everyone can let go so easily.

The next morning, everyone took the scenic bus to the Grand Canyon.

The canyon was cool with a light breeze.

The air quality here was excellent. Taking deep breaths was refreshing and exhilarating.

All along the way were fields of wildflowers and lush green forests, verdant and vibrant.

Jian SiXun stood by the artificial stairs at the cliff edge, appreciating the magnificent scenery, and was inspired to recite poetry: "The spring beauty of this world is spent, peach blossoms of mountain temples have just begun to bloom."
