the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1034: We Don’t Know Yet Who Will Be a Burden to Whom
The teacher leading this field expedition is Professor Du, a renowned researcher at Imperial City University. The fact that Crystal Landon sponsored the expedition’s expenses has not been publicized, so apart from Professor Du, the other students are unaware of it. Learning that they had to take a freshman along, they were immediately displeased.
An inexperienced newcomer in the harsh outdoor environment would definitely hold everyone back, especially a female student.
Joining Du on this expedition are three students. Except for Catherine Webb, who lacks substantial outdoor experience, the other two students are seasoned veterans.
At the airport, when the two male students saw Crystal Landon, dressed in sportswear and carrying a 50L outdoor backpack, they were both astonished and delighted. The start of a new academic year is the school’s busiest time because numerous beauties flood in. The selection for campus, department, and class beauties begins, and this year, an unexpected contender emerged: a girl who didn’t even know about the contest and whose candid photo taken during class won her the title.
She is stunningly beautiful from all angles, radiating a beauty that’s both striking and intimidating. Yet, this junior is almost always seen alone, exuding an unmatched cold arrogance.
There were once some playboys who tried to corner her, and it’s said that they disappeared for several days afterward. When they returned, they avoided Crystal Landon. This incident added a lot of gossip material, leading many to say that this junior is not only beautiful but also a rose with thorns, not to be trifled with.
No one expected to encounter the coldest and most beautiful goddess of the school during this grueling field expedition. The two male students instantaneously felt they’d hit the jackpot and quickly posted on the community forum.
"Journeying with the campus belle, thirty days of field research!"
The moment the post went live, it triggered a wave of stunned reactions, demanding photos, quickly turning it into a hot topic.
Meanwhile, Catherine Webb’s expression changed upon seeing Crystal Landon. Her appearance was slightly above average, and before Crystal arrived, she was almost being pampered by the group. Now with this goddess-level team member, what role could she play? She immediately decided to give Crystal the cold shoulder and resolved to ensure she suffers hardships in the wild.
Once everyone was present, Professor Du introduced them to each other, and the group embarked on a flight to southern Yunnan.
Since Professor Du has conducted several expeditions in the southern Yunnan area before, he led the students straight into the mountains.
"Crystal, let me help carry your backpack; it’s too heavy for a girl like you."
"Crystal, do you want some water? I’ll fetch some hot water for you."
During the journey, the two male students, Jagger Lloyd and Long Jian, constantly offered their assistance.
Infuriated, Catherine Webb remarked sarcastically, "This isn’t the Imperial City. It’s a wild mountainous area. You can’t even take care of yourselves yet want to help others."
"Crystal is joining this kind of field expedition for the first time. Of course, we must look out for her."
"Yes, we’re all schoolmates; mutual support and care are as they should be."
Crystal Landon paid no attention to the minor conflict between the three. She glanced at the map. The area they entered is known as the Fifty-Five-Mile Deep Mountain, the heartland of the southern Yunnan region, bordering the Golden Triangle area. Due to its dense jungles and abundant flora, many plants not found in ordinary places can easily be discovered here, making it a beloved spot for botanists. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Professor Du has been conducting expeditions here for several years, always returning satisfied. Therefore, this time, they skipped rest and aimed to camp in the mountains for a few days before heading to nearby villages.
