Chapter 326: Chapter 239: Forest Villa (4000 words)

The Beichuan family was up late today, even Nakajima Michika, who had been cooped up in her room writing songs, came out to celebrate.

Though it was just an online vote, the final results would depend on the expert selection.

But as long as Hui Li could defeat Ando Fuyu, she was delighted.

After all, she had defeated her opponent fairly and squarely.

"Ugh—I can’t eat anymore." Hui Li leaned against the soft backrest of the sofa, belching.

Nakajima Michika leaned beside her, saying, "Mr. Beichuan’s cooking is really great, but I’m too full, I can’t eat anymore."

The two of them leaned shoulder to shoulder, looking like two big salty fish, which made Beichuan Si, who was clearing the dinnerware, shake his head.

However, considering that Hui Li’s taking first place was indeed worth celebrating, he temporarily turned a blind eye to her salty fish behavior.

After all the dinnerware was cleared away, Beichuan Si dried his hands, hung the apron back in its place, and sat on the other side of the sofa.

Just as he sat down, the very stuffed Hui Li suddenly spoke up,

"Brother Temple, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"The weekend is in two days, and Saki, Ai, Mio, and Nanako said they want to celebrate for me. They found a place to go camping. Do you think it’s okay?" Hui Li blinked and asked.

Go camping?

Beichuan Si paused while pouring tea and asked, "Are you planning to camp outdoors?"

"Yeah."

Hui Li didn’t intend to hide it from Beichuan Si since she needed his consent anyway.

They chose a camping spot on the outskirts of Tokyo, where they just need to bring tents and snacks.

There was a simple camping platform, and a nearby water source was available for free use, which made it quite convenient.

As for cooking...

Logically, except for Otomoto Ai who was into that idea, everyone else unanimously decided to bring snacks and some ready-to-heat meals.

After all, they were after the outdoor atmosphere, not the food and drinks.

Just imagine, the five best friends excitedly around a campfire, snacking, gazing at the stars and the moon, celebrating for Hui Li while discussing their favorite boys and girls. It would be a great atmosphere.

"Planning to stay overnight?" Beichuan Si knew what Hui Li was up to by looking at her.

"Yeah." Hui Li nodded.

A bunch of young girls staying overnight in the wilderness? That was way too unsafe.

A group of girls in the deserted wilderness could run into trouble if they encountered bad people.

In fact, cases of Tokyo women encountering perverts while camping weren’t rare at all.

Such young girls would have absolutely no way to defend themselves if they met with criminals.

Upon hearing Hui Li’s idea, Beichuan Si instinctively wanted to refuse.

But seeing the hopeful look on Hui Li’s face, Beichuan Si furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, then nodded, "I can agree to you and your friends going camping."

"Really?!"

Hui Li, who hadn’t really been hopeful, jumped up.

"However, I have to come with you," Beichuan Si added a condition.

Yes, it really wasn’t safe for a group of young girls like them to be in the wilderness.

Beichuan Si planned to go with them.

As long as he was there, he should be able to handle any person they met.

"Brother Temple is coming too?" Hui Li’s eyes widened, visibly surprised.

Seeing her look, Beichuan Si unconsciously asked, "Is that inconvenient?"

That was a possibility, so many young girls and only one guy might indeed be inconvenient.

But if he didn’t go, he could only apologize to Hui Li.

After all, Hui Li and her group of friends were just first-year high school students, unable to protect themselves from danger.

From a safety perspective, he would not agree.

"Not at all!" Hui Li naturally spoke up, even adding excitedly, "Brother Temple, you don’t know but Mio and Saki also want to see you again. Having you around makes us feel safe!"

Hmm?

Beichuan Si hadn’t expected to be so popular with the group of young girls. He was taken aback by Hui Li’s excited expression and then nodded back.

"Then go prepare, and let me know the exact location," Beichuan Si said.

"Okay!" Hui Li nodded vigorously, quickly took out her phone, and logged into a private group chat on LINE to inform her close friends about this news.

Beichuan Si didn’t bother her, pondering in his mind.

Tents for camping could be rented from a storefront, which wasn’t particularly expensive.

As for pots, pans, or even barbecue grills, the Beichuan family already had these items; bringing them along wouldn’t be a problem.

"The key is the food..." Beichuan Si tilted his head, looking at Hui Li’s excited expression, and didn’t particularly mind.

His sister, no matter how much of a salty fish, would likely choose to bring her own food.

It wouldn’t make sense to go camping and end up eating just snacks and self-heating meals.

That would be too much like a salty egg.

Beichuan Si had some confidence in his own teaching policy; he believed Hui Li wouldn’t do such a thing.

"So, let’s wait for the day after tomorrow then."

Today was Thursday, and Beichuan Si wasn’t particularly in a hurry.
