But he never dared to tell her what he wanted, and confessing his heart was just a gamble, but it was not money that was betting, but the other party's heart.

Now, what Hou Tai didn't dare to do was that he didn't know what her heart was. But his heart grew stronger and stronger during the expedition. He paid attention to the other party's little bits, and he knew that she liked to eat quicksandbags, so every morning before the expedition began, he stayed in front of a famous local breakfast restaurant, just waiting for the freshly baked quicksandbags.

The shop was some distance from the camp, and it took about an hour to make a round trip, and after buying quicksand bags, he sent them to her barracks and asked the girls in the same barracks with her to help him get in.

His actions made almost everyone involved in the expedition know that he liked her, but she seemed to be the only one who didn't know it, only that every morning the girl in the same barracks would give her a quicksand bag.

Maybe she knows, after all, his liking is so strong, and every glance at her is full of affection.

But no one knows what she really thinks in her heart.

Until the end of the expedition, the people in the expedition camp did not notice at all that the two of them had the idea of being together, and he never told her what he thought in his heart.

Only once, between jokes.

She asked, "Hou Tai, you look good, too." ’

When he heard her words, he was a little surprised, she would praise him directly, but at that time, it was a more traditional era of thinking, and girls who dared to directly praise handsome boys would always be considered frivolous.

For a long time, he didn't speak, and in such a situation, he didn't know how to answer in the face of the girl he liked.

She continued, "You're so handsome, how many girls have to like you," she said, half joking, half serious.

At that time, he wanted to ask, what about you? Will you like me?

The words were already on his lips, but, in the end, perhaps by the arrangement of fate, he did not say them in the end.

The expedition lasted for half a year, and just half a month before the end of the expedition, the expedition camp suddenly received news that a farmer had dug up an extremely rare medicinal herb on a nearby mountain, and no matter how the expedition camp asked, the other party did not say what it was, but only asked them to arrive before nine o'clock the next day, and then the other party would take them into the mountain.

Hou Tai didn't hear the news, but the next morning he still rode to the breakfast shop to buy quicksand bags.

At that time, transportation was not well developed, and it took two hours to get to the place designated by the other party. So when he returned to the camp, the camp was already about to leave, and Hou Tai was just in time for the team to set off. Since time did not allow him to get on the bus, Hou Tai could only be appointed to stay in the camp and take care of the aftermath.

He couldn't find the girl who brought him breakfast in the past, so after she got into the car, he personally handed her the quicksand bag that was still warm from the side of the car.

After seeing the quicksand bag, she glanced at Hou Tai, that glance, contained a lot, so far, Hou Tai has not been able to understand her meaning, but, he thought, probably, she understood everything when she saw the quicksand bag.

Perhaps, before he personally handed her the quicksand bag, she understood, but she didn't reveal it, and like Hou Tai, she was afraid that it was just a gamble, and she would lose the bet in the end.

Who would have thought that this glance would be the last.

When the battalion arrived, sure enough, there was a peasant waiting for them. So, they camped at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the expedition.

The expedition began the day after the battalion arrived, which, according to the peasants, was found near the halfway point of the mountain.
