Once everyone was on the bus, Shen Yanlin slung his backpack over his shoulder, ran onto the bus, and went straight to the seat next to Ye Linchen. He smiled at her and said, "We're about to leave."
After saying that, he introduced to the three of them, "We are now taking a car to the airport. The person in charge will come to collect your ID cards and distribute the tickets to everyone. When we arrive at the airport, we will distribute the tickets and ID cards to everyone together."
"You all brought your ID cards, right? I reminded you last night."
Feng Linlin immediately replied, "You reminded me, how could I forget?"
Lin Xiaojuan said proudly, "My ID card is something I always bring when I go out. Even if you don't remind me, I'll still bring it."
Shen Yanlin turned his gaze to Ye Linchen, but before he could speak, Ye Linchen had already taken out his ID card from his bag and waved it in front of him.
"I also carry it with me at all times."
Shen Yanlin laughed and was about to speak when the person in charge came over with a file bag and began collecting everyone's ID cards.
After collecting the ID cards, the person in charge stood at the front of the carriage and introduced the arrangements for the event.
"Hello everyone! From now on, the students on this bus are a team. Since we're on the first bus, we're the first team. Let's work together and help each other. During the rest of the journey, we'll be competing against other teams in events including quizzes, talent shows, teamwork, and more. The team with the highest score will receive a generous reward!"
"To help everyone get to know each other quickly, please introduce yourselves one by one. Then, we'll play a game of musical chairs, where the person who gets the flower has to come to the front and perform a talent. We hope everyone will participate enthusiastically and showcase their talents!"
As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause rang out in the carriage.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one. When it was Ye Linchen's turn, she briefly introduced herself as a student in the Finance Department of Jiangnan University and expressed her hope to have fun with everyone.
After the self-introductions, the game of musical chairs officially began.
A cheerful drumbeat rang out in the carriage, and bouquets were quickly passed from hand to hand.
As the drumbeats stopped, the bouquet landed right in the hands of a boy wearing glasses.
The boy stood up shyly, his face flushed, and said to everyone, "I... I'm not very good at singing or dancing. How about I tell you a joke?"
"Great! Tell me a joke!" Everyone applauded in welcome.
The boy then stammered out a joke.
Not only could he not sing or dance, but his speaking skills were also terrible. After he finally finished speaking, everyone on the bus stared at him, and not a single person laughed.
Seeing that no one reacted, he quickly added, "My joke is over."
The person in charge glanced at the bewildered students and was the first to burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's really funny."
Then they started clapping.
So the students obliged, clapping and laughing heartily.
The beginning is always the hardest, but with this student's opening remarks, everyone had the courage to continue.
Some people sang, some danced, and some even performed an impromptu skit.
The carriage was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a lively atmosphere.
Ye Linchen really enjoyed the atmosphere; his palms were red from clapping.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the airport.
The person in charge then told everyone to get off the bus and have some free time. They could wander around the area or go to the restroom. They were told to meet at the security checkpoint in fifteen minutes, at which time the plane tickets would be distributed.
Feng Linlin couldn't contain her excitement any longer. As soon as she got out of the car, she took out her camera and excitedly suggested, "This is my first time on a plane. It's such a memorable moment. How about we take a picture at the airport entrance?"
The other three thought it was a good idea, so they picked up their luggage and walked towards the airport entrance, chatting and laughing.
As Ye Linchen walked, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, and it looked a lot like Meng Zihan.
She turned her head to look, but did not see Meng Zihan in the bustling crowd.
"Am I seeing things?" Ye Linchen muttered to himself.
Shen Yanlin had been watching Ye Linchen's actions closely. Noticing her unusual expression, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Linchen shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just saw things for a moment. Come on, let's go take a picture together."
"Hurry up, take as many photos as possible. Individual photos, couple photos, group photos—take them all."
Lin Xiaojuan excitedly ran ahead, urging the three of them on.
After taking a group photo, the four of them strolled around the airport for a while. When it was almost time, they headed towards the boarding gate.
On the way, they met Jiang Hanyu, Shen Yanlin's classmate.
Jiang Hanyu was a tall, strong-looking man with dark skin and rugged features. His dark skin gave him a unique kind of handsomeness.
Ye Linchen had a deep impression of him.
They were on the same car just now, and during the game of musical chairs, Jiang Hanyu was chosen to perform a talent.
As a result, he was tone-deaf, and he sang a love song so off-key that it seemed to travel all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
The ear-piercing singing was devastating, like a demon's wail, making listeners want to escape as quickly as possible; it was truly unsettling for a long time.
But he himself was very satisfied.
After finishing the song, he clasped his hands in thanks and went around to express his gratitude. He even volunteered to ask if anyone wanted to sing another song.
Fortunately, the person in charge politely declined his self-recommendation in time, thus saving everyone's ears from further torment.
Jiang Hanyu also saw Shen Yanlin and his group. He waved and greeted them loudly, "Shen Yanlin, you're here! Are you looking for the boarding gate?"
Shen Yanlin's smile faded, and he nodded slightly in response.
Jiang Hanyu, however, was very outgoing and didn't care about Shen Yanlin's attitude at all. He greeted Ye Linchen, Feng Linlin, and Lin Xiaojuan warmly.
"Hello, three beautiful ladies! I noticed you on the bus earlier. You're from Jiangcheng University, right?"
Jiang Hanyu stared at Ye Linchen with a wet, sticky look in his eyes, making Ye Linchen feel uncomfortable. So he lowered his eyes and ignored him.
Lin Xiaojuan, being more outgoing, explained to him, "Yes, the three of us are from Jiangcheng University."
Jiang Hanyu immediately stood next to Lin Xiaojuan and said with a smile, "Everyone says that Jiang University produces beauties, and sure enough, three of them have arrived this time."
Shen Yanlin frowned and glanced at him.
Jiang Hanyu, however, seemed completely oblivious to Shen Yanlin's displeasure, and continued walking with Lin Xiaojuan, chatting with her with great interest.
Their arms were almost touching.
Their attitude was so warm, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
"What are your majors? You must all be very talented."
Ye Linchen and Feng Linlin listened half-heartedly without responding, harboring no goodwill towards the overly enthusiastic Jiang Hanyu.
