At half past five, it was still dark. It was so cloudy that even the morning star could not be seen.
A van stopped at the entrance of the provincial capital guesthouse, and soon Li Mei got on the van with a dozen students.
There was no money to hire a bigger car, so only Li Mei sat in the passenger seat, and the other ten students squeezed together.
Qin Ju got on the bus first and sat in the last row by the window. Soon Shen Yi also got on.
And I was squeezed into the same seat with her!
Qin Ju was a little depressed and didn't want to get too close to this person. She whispered, "Can you go over there?"
"I'm afraid not. There's room for eight people in the back, but there are fifteen of us. We'll have to squeeze in anyway."
“…”
After saying this, Shen Yi was as cool and apathetic as usual. He folded his arms and fell asleep after getting in the car.
Because the two of them were sitting together, other students couldn't help but whisper. Li Mei looked back and her eyes widened: "Qin Ju! Why are you squeezing next to Shen Yi again? Hurry up! Come over here and sit on the canopy!"
This van can accommodate two people in the back seat between the driver and the front passenger, but no one wants to sit there.
The engine is underneath, and sitting on it in the hot summer feels like taking a sauna.
and……
Qin Ju smiled coldly: "Teacher, didn't you see that I was sitting in the innermost seat and couldn't squeeze through."
Now that the car is moving and everyone else is seated, it is indeed not appropriate to change seats.
Li Mei glared at her for a few seconds and finally said nothing.
However, three hours later, when she went to the rest stop to use the toilet, Li Mei looked for Qin Jue, intending to let her sit on the canopy, but she didn't see her.
Li Mei frowned and asked other students, "Where is Qin Jue?"
"Maybe he went to the bathroom."
She saw that the front passenger seat was empty and sat down decisively.
The driver was a simple and honest old man. He looked at it and said nothing.
But when Li Mei came back from the toilet, she saw Qin Ju sitting in the passenger seat and angrily said, "Why are you sitting here? Get off now!"
Qin Ju was not frightened by her, and said seriously: "Teacher Li, I think you are right! We are young now, and we should focus on our studies. After all, we will take the college entrance examination next year. So, I decided to stay away from Shen Yi. Apart from the driver's seat, this is the safest place. If I sit on the hood and look up, what if I make eye contact with Shen Yi?"
Li Mei was speechless.
Qin Ju calmly dozed off in the passenger seat.
Shen Yi, who happened to get on the bus, raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard these words.
Because she couldn't waste time, Li Mei had to sit at the back. Of course, other students would not squeeze her, but squeezed to the back.
Lin Nian sat in the back, sticking close to the tall and handsome Chen Feng. If it were usual, she would definitely blush and her heart would beat fast, and she would act shy in front of Chen Feng.
But this time, she was a little absent-minded and looked at Qin Jue in front of her from time to time.
Lin Nian knew that Qin Ju had gone out last night. When he came back, he said he had gone to the bathroom.
But she didn't believe it at all!
The car drove for more than four hours before returning to the gate of Ping'an Middle School in Ping'an Town. This time, Teacher Li led a dozen students to participate in a mathematics competition in the provincial capital. The final exams were over, so the students could go home.
Li Mei said to Qin Jue indifferently: "Qin Jue, don't leave. Call your parents and then follow me to the principal's office!"
As for the other students who did not leave, some were gloating, while others were very curious.
Qin Ju glanced at the guilty-looking Lin Nian in the crowd. She turned around and looked at Li Mei with a half-smile: "Teacher, it's so late now. My parents will have to come quite late too. Are you planning to treat my family to a meal and stay at the guesthouse?"
