Chapter 52 Study Tour (I) What if it is useful?

"You think too much. I have no intention of taking back what I have given away." Jiang Ci turned his head and looked at Yu Xiang with a calm tone.

Yu Xiang pondered for a moment and then suddenly had an idea: "What if I don't confiscate it?"

Jiang Ci choked, but quickly regained his composure. "That means it wasn't delivered. The nature of it is different."

"Besides, it's a fact that you accepted it. There's no point in asking again." Jiang Ci thought for a moment and added.

"oh."

After Yu Ying finished speaking, he was ready to continue trying to sleep with mixed feelings. However, the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't fall asleep. His mind was always full of random thoughts, which made it impossible for him to calm down.

For example, the song currently playing in his headphones was downloaded by him in recent days, and he couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Ci would like it.

For example, Jiang Ci clearly loved this Walkman, so why did he give it to him? Was it really as simple as he said? Or was there something else hidden?

If there was something else hidden, what was it? Could it be what he was thinking?

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

The more Yu Xiang thought about it, the more confused he became. In the end, he could only look out the window at the people passing by in twos and threes and sigh.

After a while, the team leader in charge of them also got on the bus, holding a microphone to greet the whole class and introduce himself to liven up the atmosphere.

Yu Xiang was not a member of the atmosphere group. He listened absent-mindedly, clapping along with them when necessary, and thinking about his own things at other times.

"I need to talk to your homeroom teacher about this study tour. I'll come play some games with you guys later on the way, so stay tuned!" The team leader, looking about twenty years old and very approachable, didn't say much, leaving everyone in suspense before sitting down in the front row with Lei Wanquan.

At the same time, buses began to leave the school one after another.

Since we had just started, most of the people in the class were still in a state of excitement. The car was noisy and many people were chatting.

Some even talked about the final exams held two days ago.

"For math multiple-choice question seven, you're definitely going to choose C. There's no need to question it, okay? I've figured it out."

"I figured it out, it must be D. You must have made a mistake."

"Choose C!"

"Choose D!"

“Definitely a C!”

"Definitely D!"

"Damn it, do you two have to talk about such sad topics on such a happy day?" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and protested with his neck stiff.

"That's right. If one of you chooses C and the other chooses D, then I'm doomed if I choose B, right?"

Yu Xiang, who also chose B: “…” That’s really screwed.

If he heard correctly, the two people who were arguing over whether to choose C or D happened to be the ones in the top tier of math scores in the class, often ranking second or third in math. Even Ning Anyan was often left behind by them.

"Brother Yu, what did you choose?" Zhang Miao popped his head out again and asked.

"B. I guessed it." Yu Xiang said numbly, "What about you?"

"I guessed a C. I followed your instructions and guessed C when I didn't know the answer. So I really hope Lin Xinxiang can win," Zhang Miao said sincerely. "If he's right, I'll be so happy to get four points."

Yu Xiang turned his gaze to Fang Chengyu: "What did Old Fang choose?"

"Ah? Me?" Fang Chengyu, who was suddenly called, tried to recall. "I can't quite remember. It should be D. So I hope Liu Jianming wins."

Yu Xiang: "...Then I hope they are all wrong."

"Isn't the most authoritative person sitting next to you? Why don't you ask him?" Zhang Miao said as he frantically nodded at Jiang Ci who was listening to a song with his eyes closed.

However, he wasn't the only one who had thought of this. Lin Xinxiang and Liu Jianming, who had been unable to reach a conclusion, had also thought of this. So they rushed to call out to Jiang Ci, "Jiang Ci, tell me, what did you choose?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's attention was drawn here. The car became much quieter and everyone was waiting for Jiang Ci's answer.

Jiang Ci opened his eyes and glanced around in full view of everyone, "I chose A."

These four short words chilled the hearts of everyone present.

But there were also some people who were lucky enough to get it right and felt relieved, twisting around in their seats like snakes in excitement.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xinxiang tried to comfort himself, "Jiang Ci might make a mistake. I've figured it out, so he can't be wrong, right?"

Liu Jianming: "I figured it out too. Could it be that you made a mistake? Or maybe we both made a mistake?"

"What are you doing? Checking answers?" Lei Wanquan turned around and waved his phone at them. "I have the answers here. I was planning to wait until your study session was over before going back and checking them slowly."

"Teacher, can you tell me the answer to the seventh multiple-choice question in math?"

"Question seven? Let me see...choose A for question seven."

There was an uproar.

"Oh, I thought I'd get lucky and get it right this time." Zhang Miao looked the most disappointed. "But actually, I was ready when I heard Brother Jiang say to choose A."

After the correct answer was announced, both Lin Xinxiang and Liu Jianming remained silent, and just whispered other answers.

Yu Xiang thought about his out-of-place option B, which was also a headache, but since he had no idea how to solve that question, he let it go.

But he still couldn't help but ask Jiang Ci: "What did you choose for question eight?"

Jiang Ci turned his head to look at him: "Are you sure you want to talk to me about this topic?"

Yu Xiang gave up and said, "I haven't guessed right many times anyway, so it doesn't matter."

“Mine may not be right.”

"Just say it straight."

Jiang Ci couldn't persuade him, so he had to answer: "C."

Yu Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard that: "I choose C too!"

"Really? Are you really choosing C?" Zhang Miao was also surprised.

"Like I said just now, my answer may not be correct." Jiang Ci reminded again.

"It doesn't matter. I feel safe knowing my answer is the same as yours." Zhang Miao couldn't hide his excitement. He excitedly shook Fang Chengyu next to him, "Old Fang, did you hear that? It's C! It's C!"

"I know, I know. Damn it, stop shaking me. I feel a little carsick!" Fang Chengyu collapsed.

"I accidentally forgot about Private Marseille, you should have a good rest." Zhang Miao immediately let go.

After this little episode, Yu Xiang felt much better. At least he could leisurely enjoy the scenery outside the window.

Then, with almost half the journey left, the tour leader fulfilled his promise and appeared in the middle of the aisle carrying his beloved speakers.

One of his so-called "games" is a quick-answer game, where he asks various questions and those who answer correctly receive a small gift.

Many people present had secretly brought their cell phones with them, so there was no pressure in answering these questions. Yu Xiang was too lazy to get involved, and Jiang Ci didn't look like he wanted to participate either, and didn't even listen to the questions carefully.

But the other game is not so free, it is more random, and the unlucky person who is drawn has to perform a talent.

However, the conditions in the car are limited, and the only talent that can be performed is basically singing.

The first unlucky guy was Lu Ziyang, but he seemed to be enjoying it. The unlucky ones were the other people present - this guy's singing was seriously out of tune, which in a sense was a torture to everyone's ears.

But even so, he still insisted on singing the whole song, and even said to everyone in the car in a very cool way: "Where are the applause!"

The class also gave him enough face and applauded wildly: "You sang very well, don't sing it again next time--"

Lu Ziyang pretended not to hear anything, and even exaggeratedly turned his face to the side and put his palm to his ear: "What? It's so beautiful? Sing another song? No problem——"

"Shameless hahahahahaha!!!"

"So what?" Lu Ziyang said nonchalantly, "Or I could actually suggest that my dear deskmate Xu Tianhao sing a song. He said he really wants to!"

Caught off guard by the cue, Xu Tianhao was so anxious that he almost broke free from his seat belt and jumped up from his chair: "I'm not like that. I don't have you, so stop talking nonsense!"

"Hahaha, both of you are very interesting, but we still have to abide by the rules of the game." The team leader smiled and tried to smooth things over. "But if you really want to show off voluntarily, that's fine."

Xu Tianhao immediately said, "Lu Ziyang said he really wants to sing another song!"

But he was soon met with opposition: "No! His singing is too torturous!"

"You! Your harsh words are hurtful!" Lu Ziyang deliberately pretended to be heartbroken.

So amidst laughter and jokes, the game continued.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Ci, who had just been devastated by Lu Ziyang's chaotic magic sound, turned his head to see Yu Xiang's expression at the moment. As a result, when he turned around, he found that the latter was staring at the back of the chair, muttering to himself, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Huh?" Yu Xiang was snapped out of his trance by the sound. After a moment of confusion, he replied, "I'm praying the digital bomb doesn't hit me."

Although his singing is not bad, he doesn't like singing in front of so many people.

"I thought you would still gamble that you wouldn't be picked this time." Jiang Ci raised the corners of his mouth in a small arc, as if he was smiling.

"That's how it should be, but the last few times I made this bet, nothing good happened, so I learned from my experience."

"Does your experience mean that I should believe in metaphysics?"

Yu Xiang was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds he managed to utter, "I'd rather believe it than not."

What if it’s useful?

"Why are you so leisurely? Aren't you afraid of getting picked?" Yu Xiang suddenly reacted and asked back.

"Let's talk about it after we get the prize." Jiang Ci was very calm.

Yu Xiang gave a thumbs-up in admiration: "What a great attitude."

"Brother Yu! Stop chatting! It's your turn!" Zhang Miao reminded them anxiously.

So fast?!

Yu Xiang panicked and suddenly forgot that Jiang Ci should be the first to say the number. He subconsciously said the number he had been thinking about for a long time: "520."

"520."

The two people said the same number in unison.

"Congratulations on winning! The bomb is 520," the team leader announced passionately. "But why do two students seem to have answered at the same time?"

At this moment, Yu Xiang wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

You're such a jerk! Why are you talking so fast?

And as luck would have it, he bumped into Jiang Ci.

"Wow—" The others in the car also became excited and started to make a fuss, "Let's all be fined together!"

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Today is 520, but the manuscripts were saved long in advance and posted in order. Maybe this is the case that it is better to be lucky than to be early, hahaha. I wish our classmate Xiao Yu a happy birthday~ I would also like to thank the baby who drew the congratulatory picture and commissioned the manuscript for him [red heart], and I wish everyone a happy 520 [three-color cat head]
