Chapter 39: Travel

The competition class's schedule was staggered with the regular class's, which was a significant benefit for Su Xia:

If she wanted to feed something, she would just go around the administrative building and drop it off, and it would be considered a success.

If Xu Jiqing wanted to return it, he would have to rush back to Class 4 with the things before lunch break and morning reading. Not to mention the difficulty in finding time, it would be impossible given his personality.

If a person truly wants to accomplish something, the entire universe will pave the way for it.

Su Xia had a lot of fun playing the development game.

She even reserved a page in her homework notebook and drew a table with a ruler, filling in the dates from the 1st to the 31st first, and then stamping it every day based on the feeding situation.

When delivering milk to Xu Jiqing, just cover the milk bottle.

If you send snacks and desserts, just cover it with a small strawberry.

When passing by the door of Class S's classroom during physical education, he would look back every few steps and stand on tiptoe to take a closer look.

If Su Xia felt that Xu Jiqing seemed to have gained some weight, she would be in high spirits throughout the break. As soon as she returned to the classroom, she would take out her notebook and draw a glowing thumbs-up on today's grid.

Because she is not good at taking care of people, Su Xia has never kept a pet in her two lives. This is the first time she understands the mentality of those owners who keep cats and dogs.

It feels so fulfilling to see a beautiful face become more beautiful under your care.

In particular, she also knows how high the other person will be in ten years.

This feeling is just like being a keeper for the king of beasts. When Sangbiao was still a cub, he called him Mimi. No matter what, he could never become a clingy house cat, but every time he responded, she would be happy for a long time.

In the last week of October, the entire grade of high school went on a study tour to a mountainous area in a neighboring province.

The three-day and two-night trip involved canyon rafting on the first day, tea picking on the second day, and then hiking in the bamboo forest. They said they had a research project to write about, so it was essentially a group trip.

We set off on Friday. Teacher Ding sent the notice two days in advance and the whole class was extremely excited.

After school on Thursday night, Su Xiaojuan left work early and picked up Su Xia to go to the imported supermarket near the community to buy groceries.

"Where can I find a high school student like yours who loves traveling? He takes a trip every semester in his freshman year, and another trip in his sophomore year. He also does practical training, studies agriculture, and research. The names are quite fancy."

Su Xiaojuan walked in front, pushing a shopping cart and throwing a bag of disposable towels from the shelf. "I didn't read the notice sent by Teacher Ding carefully. What are the accommodation conditions this time? Will there be a private bathroom?"

"How could that be possible?" Su Xia followed beside him like a little penguin and sighed, "It's an open-air bathhouse."

"We live in a farmer's house, with eight people sharing a large bunk bed. Being able to take a shower is already a great thing."

Su Xiaojuan said, "Can you bear this?"

"Don't underestimate me. If others can do it, why can't I do it?"

"That's right," Su Xiaojuan shook her head. "I was saying that. Traveling so far for less than a thousand yuan, what good conditions can you expect?"

She picked up two small bottles of shampoo and shower gel and asked casually, "Is everyone going?"

"You're earning credits by working hard, but you're actually spending money on training. There are always kids from less well-off families in your class, and you can't prevent them from graduating."

“…There are 2% exemption quotas in the grade, and they don’t have to pay any money.”

After saying this, Su Xia was stunned for a moment.

It is true that the exemption policy was written in the notice, but in her memory, Xu Jiqing was the only one who went for study through this green channel.

In her previous life, Su Xia had not had much contact with him. The first time she had an impression of the name Xu Jiqing was during this trip.

At that time, Xu Jiqing had not attended any physical education classes, had not taken part in the monthly exams, and had not even returned for evening self-study in October.

To most people in Class Four, Xu Jiqing only showed up the week he transferred in. He was cold and aloof, the top-ranked student in the Mathematical Competition S class, despite his poor family background and brilliant academic performance, and he felt very distant from them.

Even when traveling in a group, he was used to being alone. During free time, he would occasionally say a few words to Lin Lang from Class 2. He was a complete loner.

No one expected that Xu Jiqing would actually fight with others.

The target is Li Rui, the son of the school director.

This memory was too distant, and Su Xia could no longer remember the cause and process. She only remembered that the whole matter was finally suppressed by Li Rui's father.

No notification, no public punishment.

Xu Jiqing was suspended for half a year, and Li Rui also missed the provincial competition that year due to injury.

The past few days have been calm and peaceful, and my nerves are a little numb. When Su Xia suddenly thought of such a big thing, his palms were sweating and his heart was pounding.

Xu Jiqing is so patient, and he carries such a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Why would you be so impulsive as to give up such a precious opportunity to participate?

Su Xia had no clue and couldn't remember the exact time when Xu Jiqing and Li Rui fought, but she secretly made up her mind:

No matter what others said, she was ready to follow him on this three-day trip.

The stupid method is always the most effective method. As long as you keep the person under your nose, there is still time for anything.

After buying the detergents and toiletries, Su Xiaojuan picked out slippers and mosquito repellent for her, and then the cart went to the snack area.

There was no shortage of potato chips and biscuits at home, so Su Xia grabbed a few large bags and put them in the room, preparing to share them with the girls in the dormitory. She turned around and glanced at the chocolate area next to her. A worrying young man's face emerged in her mind, and she sighed again.

Dark chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio, yogurt, peanut and rum.

Su Xia took a box of each of the chocolates with different fillings from the entire row, just like she was clearing the shelves.

"If you're not trying to lose weight, you shouldn't be eating like this..."

Su Xiaojuan was stunned and reminded her, "You can lose weight if you're fat. You were very prone to tooth decay when you were a child. If you eat your teeth now, they're really bad. I can't replace them with original ones."

Su Shan pouted, "It's not me."

But what Su Xiaojuan said makes sense.

Even if Xu Jiqing doesn't gain weight after eating ten boxes of chocolate, she still has to remember to remind him not to get cavities.

-

At 6:30 on Friday, in the dim light, more than a dozen buses were lined up outside the school gate.

There are many mosquitoes in the mountainous areas. Even though Su Xia felt that his legs were thick and he looked fat in pants, he still remembered the painful lesson of being bitten by mosquitoes in his previous life. Without Su Xiaojuan's reminder, he got up and changed into autumn school pants.

Pushing her small suitcase, she just arrived at the assembly point of Class 4 and saw He Miao waving at her.

Su Xia trotted over and said, "Miao Miao, you changed your hairstyle. It's so cute!"

He Miao has had the same hairstyle since he was a child, and it has always been a neat and tidy student hairstyle.

Today she just tied her short hair into a small bun, and the hairband was an ordinary black rubber band, the kind that costs two yuan a box, but Su Xia's big eyes were shining, full of sincerity.

He Miao's cheeks turned red after being praised by her. She couldn't help but curl her lips, and even her chest straightened up slightly.

"You are the one who is really pretty."

She looked back shyly, and because she didn't know much about makeup, her compliment was clumsy, "You look really beautiful today."

"Help me take a look," Su Xia lowered her voice and pursed her lips, "Is my mouth a little too red? I wanted to wipe it with toilet paper before going out, but I forgot."

"Super natural, peach herself."

He Miao said seriously, and moved closer to smell it, "Why does your lip gloss really smell like peach? It's so sweet and fragrant."
