Teacher Deng opened his arms and held the podium with his palms: "This trip will last for three days and two nights. You must pay attention to safety. During the trip, everyone will stay on Penglai Mountain. When you go to Lin Zhixia to sign up, you will form teams of two... The hotel rooms reserved by the school are all standard double rooms."
There was a whisper in the class. Teacher Deng smiled and asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"
Shao Dongxu, the boy sitting in the row in front of Lin Zhixia, interrupted: "In a standard double room, boys must live with boys, and girls with girls?"
Teacher Deng's face turned pale and he scolded, "What else? Can I let boys and girls live in the same room?"
Teacher Deng was gentle and rarely got angry. But now, he banged on the desk and said angrily, "Since someone asked, I'll make it clear to you once and for all. Boys must live with boys, and girls must live with girls. You guys, don't have any bad ideas, okay? You're all grown-up kids, 15 or 16-year-old boys and girls, what you should do and what you shouldn't do, don't let the teacher emphasize it again and again. I don't want to criticize anyone, I care about your face. You should have a ruler in your heart to measure your words and deeds."
The whole class suddenly became extremely quiet.
Shao Dongxu quickly lowered his head and buried his face in his arms.
His deskmate also lay down and whispered, "Brother Dong, you are amazing! This is the first time that Teacher Deng gets angry."
Shao Dongxu grinned and said, "It's impossible for a boy and a girl to live together. I was just thinking about it. It's not against the law to think about it."
My deskmate chuckled and asked, "Which girl do you want to share a room with?"
Shao Dongxu turned around and looked back. He turned back quickly, rubbed his face, and calmed himself down: "Okay, okay, do some exercises. Have you finished the book "Small Exercises"? "
My deskmate's face turned pale: "That's not "Small Question Practice", that's "Small Question Crazy Mistakes"."
Trivial error?
Shao Dongxu opened his homework book and found that his accuracy rate in "Math Problem Practice" was only 50%. He reviewed the questions again and again, but couldn't figure it out. He wrote a small note and passed it to Lin Zhixia in the back row.
Lin Zhixia opened the note and it said: Extremely urgent! Help! How to solve the probability calculation problem on page 28 of "Math Problem Practice"?
Lin Zhixia thought about it for a while, picked up a pen and wrote down the process of solving the problem on the draft paper. She handed the draft paper to Shao Dongxu, who said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, beautiful lady."
Lin Zhixia reminded: "I told you before, don't call me beautiful."
Shao Dongxu chuckled: "You are a beauty."
Lin Zhixia described her feelings: "But you call her 'beauty', it sounds weird, like a styling director at the door of a barber shop."
"Do you know what a styling director is, beauty?" Shao Dongxu scratched his hair.
Lin Zhixia frowned and said in a serious tone: "I have my own name. My name is Lin Zhixia. You can call me Lin Squad Leader."
Shao Dongxu couldn't help but teased: "Miss Lin? Miss Lin... Miss Lin?"
Lin Zhixia warned: "If you say that again, I will really get angry."
"If you are angry, I will not hand in my math homework," Shao Dongxu declared.
In Grade 1 (27), Lin Zhixia is not only the class monitor, but also the math class representative. Shao Dongxu joked with her, but she interpreted Shao Dongxu's words as a threat.
Lin Zhixia sat up straight and said coldly, "You can hand in your math homework or not. I am only responsible for remembering your names."
"Are you really angry?" Shao Dongxu quickly took out a strawberry Swiss candy from his schoolbag and put it on Lin Zhixia's desk.
Lin Zhixiasi was unmoved and said righteously, "Take it away. I don't eat strawberries."
This sentence surprised Lin Zhixia's deskmate Tang Tingting.
Tang Tingting and Lin Zhixia have known each other for many years. Tang Tingting certainly understands how much Lin Zhixia loves strawberries. Lin Zhixia's notebooks, pencil cases, and folders are all decorated with strawberry patterns. Even her school bag ornament is a pink strawberry pom-pom.
Tang Tingting said without a smile: "Shao Dongxu, you really pissed Lin Zhixia off."
Shao Dongxu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please accept this strawberry candy, Lin Zhixia."
Lin Zhixia was firm: "No, I won't accept it."
Even if Lin Zhixia is the reincarnation of a strawberry spirit, she is still a dignified strawberry spirit.
She took out a book called "Penetration Testing Programming" and started to learn some interesting programming knowledge. The surroundings became quieter and quieter, and neither Tang Tingting nor Shao Dongxu spoke again.
After the class, Lin Zhixia left her seat.
As the monitor of Grade 1 (27), Lin Zhixia has always fulfilled her duties. She worked tirelessly to visit each group, inquire about each student’s intentions, and write down the list of names for the “Spring Study Tour”.
Soon, she encountered a problem.
Teacher Deng said that during the study tour, students will form teams of two and stay in standard double rooms in mountain hotels.
To Lin Zhixia's surprise, Jin Baihui actually signed up for this event. Jin Baihui asked calmly, "Can I stay in a room by myself?"
Lin Zhixia put an asterisk on the paper and said, "I'll go ask Teacher Deng."
A total of 43 students in the class were willing to participate in this year's "Spring Study Tour". Under the arrangement of Teacher Deng, Jin Baihui and a girl from Class 26 of Senior 1 became roommates. Jin Baihui's wish of "living in a room by herself" was ultimately not realized.
On the day of departure, Lin Zhixia was in a good mood.
She and her brother took the bus to school.
Her brother helped her carry her suitcase and kept telling her, "When you sleep outside, you must lock the door at night and put a chair behind the door... No matter which man asks you to open the door, ignore him. Remember?"
"I'll remember that!" Lin Zhixia replied.
My brother shared his experience of a study tour last year with Lin Zhixia. He said that a girl in his class was approached by a middle-aged man at a scenic spot. The middle-aged man stopped the girl, asked for her phone number, and didn't let her go far...
"What should we do then?" Lin Zhixia looked at her brother.
My brother said coldly, "I blasted that bastard away."
Lin Zhixia imitated her brother's tone: "Did that bastard give you any trouble?"
My brother looked disdainful: "How dare he cause trouble for me?"
Lin Zhixia nodded: "Brother defeated the bastard."
The brother touched her head and said, "Be careful outside and stay safe."
"Okay, don't worry." Lin Zhixia took the suitcase from her brother and walked towards the playground of the high school department of Provincial No. 1 Middle School.
The 27 classes of the first year of high school gathered in the playground, waiting for their respective tour buses.
The teachers leading the team for Class 27 were the homeroom teacher, Mr. Deng, and the Chinese teacher, Ms. Chen. Ms. Chen carried a plastic bag and took out yellow duckbill caps from the bag and distributed them to the students in Class 27, Grade 1.
Teacher Deng stood in front of the team and shouted, "Everyone must wear a yellow hat and don't get separated from the others. When you get to Penglai Mountain, you can't act alone. You must follow the teacher's instructions, okay?"
Lin Zhixia took the lead in cheering: "Good!"
Teacher Deng nodded slightly. He led the students to board the tour bus. The bus took everyone to the airport. After a short flight of more than an hour, they landed in Shanhai County, Yingzhou.
The local tour guide was in charge of picking us up at the airport. At about 1:00 p.m., the guide brought us to Penglai Mountain in Shanhai County.
The mountains are densely forested and at a relatively high altitude, making them much cooler than cities.
The mountain road up the mountain is winding. It is a two-way road, close to the steep cliff, and vehicles can only slow down.
Lin Zhixia sat sideways, looking out at the rolling mountains. In the distance, there were steep peaks, lingering mist, dense forests, and white clouds that gathered and dispersed from time to time, drifting here and there.
Lin Zhixia held onto the window with both hands and said, "Tang Tingting, turn your head and look over here. Look at the towering mountains and the fairyland on earth."
Tang Tingting leaned back and spoke in a softer voice than usual: "It's so beautiful, this paradise on earth."
Shao Dongxu, who was not far away, added: "In the fairyland on earth, there are fairies on earth, squad leader Lin."
Shao Dongxu's deskmate burst into awkward laughter.
Several boys sitting in the back row hugged Shao Dongxu's shoulders. Shao Dongxu laughed with them. He himself was beaming with joy and his face was flushed.
Shen Fuxuan turned his head and looked at him, and suddenly said, "Hey, Shao Dongxu, we are all on the winding mountain road, can you be quiet? Don't joke with the lives of the people on the bus."
Duan Qiyan sat next to Shen Fuxuan. As soon as Shen Fuxuan finished speaking, Duan Qiyan became nervous: "If they are fighting in the last row, will it affect the driver in the front?"
Shen Fuxuan looked solemn and said, "Of course. I'm from the physics competition team, and I can calculate their impact on this car."
Duan Qiyan was concentrating on the math competition. He didn't know much about the physics competition. When Shen Fuxuan said this, Duan Qiyan believed it. Duan Qiyan also asked: "Are we in danger now?"
Shen Fuxuan frowned and spoke in a very low voice: "If Shao Dongxu and the others make trouble again, I dare not tell you what the consequences will be."
Duan Qiyan was frightened by him and his face turned pale: "Fuck it."
At this time, Shao Dongxu and his friends were playing around again. They were like a group of baboons in a zoo, grabbing each other's hair, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.
Duan Qiyan was concerned about the safety of everyone on the bus, but was also afraid that his voice would disturb the driver. Duan Qiyan could only call out softly, "Shao Dongxu, Shao Dongxu?"
Shao Dongxu glanced at him: "What are you doing?"
Duan Qiyan kindly reminded them: "Don't make a fuss, the class teacher is sleeping and the driver is driving."
Shao Dongxu agreed superficially. After a while, he was playing silently with his classmates again. He put another boy's hat on his head.
Duan Qiyan suppressed his anger and asked him in a particularly friendly tone, "Have you watched Slam Dunk?"
Shao Dongxu only said: "I have seen a little bit."
Duan Qiyan asked again: "Have you ever watched Star Trek?"
Shao Dongxu asked in confusion: "What do you want to say to me?"
Duan Qiyan looked back and smiled: "I'll tell you when I get off the car."
Shao Dongxu was bewildered by Duan Qiyan's approachable smile, and was thinking all the way about what Duan Qiyan meant.
After waiting for a long time for the car to stop, the students got off one after another. Shao Dongxu raised his arm and stopped Duan Qiyan: "Why did you ask me if I have watched "Slam Dunk" and "Star Trek" just now?"
Duan Qiyan threw his arm and said coldly: "I'm telling you, I want to slap you to the ground like a basketball, and I also want to throw you into outer space and make you an astronaut."
"Duan Qiyan?" Shao Dongxu made a hurt expression and backed away repeatedly.
Shen Fuxuan laughed so hard that he almost choked.
The class teacher, Mr. Deng, clapped his hands to attract the attention of the whole class: "Hold on tight, students, pick up your suitcases and follow the tour guide to the hotel entrance. No one should be left behind."
They stayed in a big hotel on the mountainside.
In front of the hotel was a stone staircase about two meters wide.
Lin Zhixia carried her schoolbag and picked up her suitcase. She climbed forward a dozen steps and felt that she was almost exhausted.
She calmed herself down and, with all her might, she slowly walked up the stairs. When she crossed the last step, she looked up into the distance. The dusk covered the mountain range, and the deep green grass and trees were dyed orange and light yellow. The fog had not yet receded, and the sunlight was as clear as a thread in the fog.
Lin Zhixia sighed: "When you have free time, you should go out and play more."
Tang Tingting reached out and pulled her: "Do you like staying at home or going out to travel?"
“I like traveling,” Lin Zhixia replied. “I always look forward to school-organized trips.”
Tang Tingting was stunned: "Ah, I thought you would rather stay at home and study."
Lin Zhixia shook her head like a wave drum: "There are many ways to learn, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."
She and Tang Tingting walked into the main entrance of the hotel together.
Teacher Deng had just completed the check-in procedures. He handed out room cards to the students in Grade 1 (27) and told them to have a good rest in their rooms and go to the buffet restaurant on the second floor for dinner in the evening.
Lin Zhixia took the room card and walked briskly, pushing her suitcase.
She and Tang Tingting lived in Room 405, and next door, Room 406, was occupied by Shen Fuxuan and Duan Qiyan, while Room 404 belonged to Jin Baihui and the girl from Class 26. Tang Tingting commented, "The girl from Class 26 is so pitiful, having to live with Jin Baihui."
The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was clean and white. Lin Zhixia lay on the soft big bed, hugged a pillow tightly, and asked, "Is it pitiful?"
"Yes," Tang Tingting opened the lid of her suitcase, "They all said that Jin Baihui had a bad temper and looked down on others..."
Tang Tingting changed into a pair of slippers, and hesitated to speak. After a while, she stared at Lin Zhixia and said, "Hey, Jin Baihui wrongly accused Duan Qiyan of being a thief that time. Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, Duan Qiyan would never be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River."
Lin Zhixia pondered: "Jin Baihui believes in her own opinions very much. She is a very determined person."
Tang Tingting smiled and said, "You are quite determined."
Lin Zhixia rolled over on the bed: "I didn't."
Lin Zhixia hugged the pillow and rolled around until Tang Tingting pressed down on her shoulders, interrupting her movement.
Tang Tingting pointed out the window and said, "After we finish our meal at the hotel tonight, let's go hiking. I just saw a lot of very high mountains, but I don't know if we can see the canyon. The river water in the canyon here is so clear. Do you like boating? Can we rent a raft? Oh, forget it, it would be bad if we fall down..."
Lin Zhixia raised her head: "It's impossible. Teacher Deng will not allow us to go out without permission."
"Why don't you just not tell the teacher?" Tang Tingting advised.
Lin Zhixia was torn between her own thoughts and her own. In the end, her rational thinking prevailed. Her mind was filled with her brother's earnest instructions and her parents' caring words, which made her particularly determined to refuse Tang Tingting: "After we have dinner, it will be dark. We two underage girls cannot walk around in the dark and unfamiliar mountain roads."
Tang Tingting took a step forward hesitantly: "I'll go ask other girls."
These words aroused Lin Zhixia's sense of responsibility as the class monitor.
Lin Zhixia suddenly had an idea and called Tang Tingting. She told Tang Tingting word for word the horror stories her brother had told her.
Lin Zhixia spoke slowly and in a low voice, and with the deliberate knocking, banging, and rapid breathing, Tang Tingting was soon frightened enough. Tang Tingting said that she would never go out and walk on the mountain road again, even if she was beaten to death.
On the first day of the Penglai Mountain trip, Tang Tingting and Lin Zhixia sat in room 405 watching TV together.
They are watching a popular romantic idol drama.
In the TV show, the hero tells the heroine that he married her because of his parents' orders. Although they are a couple, he will never fall in love with her. The person he loves most in his heart is the kind and beautiful female supporting role.
Tang Tingting's eyes welled up with tears: "How could he do this to his wife?"
Lin Zhixia held her chin with one hand and asked, "Why doesn't his wife divorce him?"
Lin Zhixia and Tang Tingting had just chatted for a few words when someone knocked on the door of Room 405. Duan Qiyan stood outside the door and asked, "Team Leader Lin, is your TV working?"
Tang Tingting walked over and opened the door: "It's fine, what's the matter?"
Duan Qiyan said irritably, "Shen Fuxuan and I's TV is broken. Oh, forget it, I'll go to Cao Wu's room to watch TV."
After taking a step forward, Duan Qiyan said solemnly: "I'm going to tell you this, you may not believe me, but Shen Qixuan insisted on watching a romance drama called "Things Have Changed, I Fall in Love with Your Beauty"..."
"We are watching this drama." Lin Zhixia said without any concealment.
Duan Qiyan was shocked. He ran to the next door and found Shen Fuxuan.
Shen Fuxuan walked into room 405 with two boxes of potato chips and four cans of Coke. He waved to Lin Zhixia, who received him politely. He sat next to Lin Zhixia without any hesitation and watched the urban romantic idol drama "Things Have Changed, I Love Your Beauty" with the two girls.
"What the hell are you doing?" Duan Qiyan asked.
Shen Fuxuan and Lin Zhixia were so absorbed in the plot that neither of them answered Duan Qiyan's question.
On the TV screen, the hero and heroine had just finished attending a banquet.
The female supporting role pointed at the female lead and yelled, "You married him for money! If it weren't for his family helping you, you would have gone bankrupt long ago! What do you have to fight with me? I love him with all my heart! Love doesn't have a first come, first served order, love is pure emotion... Although you are his legal wife, I am the one he loves the most."
At this time, a heavy rain fell from the sky.
The heroine knelt in the rain, her hair wet and shivering.
The female supporting role leaned on the male protagonist's chest and cried weakly: "It's all her fault. She made me become the person I hate the most!"
The male lead looked down upon the female lead and said coldly, "I don't want to see her. Jiaojiao, let's go."
After that, the male protagonist held an umbrella in one hand and the female supporting role in the other hand, and passed in front of the female protagonist. His pure black leather shoes stepped on the female protagonist's fingers. The female protagonist did not say anything, and the male protagonist did not stay.
Duan Qiyan was almost suffocating.
Tang Tingting cried out, "His wife is so pitiful!"
"Thank goodness you guys are still able to watch," Duan Qiyan said resolutely, "You guys go watch TV, I want to go out and play alone!"
After saying that, Duan Qiyan turned around and walked out.
Shen Fuxuan sighed repeatedly, and Lin Zhixia seemed to be thinking: "Why is his wife kneeling all the time?"
Tang Tingting said: "The female supporting actress was too cruel to her. She didn't have the strength to stand up."
Lin Zhixia looked at Shen Fuxuan: "What do you think?"
Shen Fuxuan pondered for a moment before saying, "I think her spiritual world was crushed. In the scene in the rain, the director wanted to convey the spirit of resistance to failure to the audience. The last shot was zoomed out, and the audience could only see the male lead's leather shoes, the female lead's fingers, and the water drops falling on the overpass."
"Yes," Lin Zhixia analyzed calmly, "The director used montage to complete the picture jump. The roaring tone of the female supporting role reminded me of the style of Shakespeare's stage plays. The long shot in the rain is thought-provoking, like the perspective pioneered by director Quentin in "Sin City", which sublimates the entire plot and is full of philosophical atmosphere..."
Duan Qiyan believed what Lin Zhixia and Shen Fuxuan said.
He couldn't help but sit in front of the TV, watching the TV series carefully with a learning attitude. He watched it from afternoon to evening, and before he knew it, he was completely attracted by the plot.
So much so that the next morning, when the Penglai Mountain tour officially started, Duan Qiyan specifically asked the tour guide what time they would be back at the hotel. He didn't want to miss the finale of a TV series.
Shen Fuxuan walked in front of the team, laughing until his stomach hurt. He whispered to Lin Zhixia, "Tell me, how could there be someone as stupid as Duan Qiyan?"
"Don't lie to him all the time." Lin Zhixia advised.
Shen Fuxuan shrugged: "Yesterday afternoon, you were analyzing the philosophical ideas in that TV series... Duan Qiyan was fooled by you."
Lin Zhixia explained, "I'm just worried that he'll get lost if he goes out. Can he find his way back by himself?"
"You definitely won't find it." Shen Xuanxuan answered very affirmatively.
Lin Zhixia clenched her backpack straps with both hands. She followed the guide's steps and started climbing the mountain with full concentration.
The tour guide was a middle-aged woman with dark skin, short curly hair, and golden earrings. She was in good shape, with strong legs, and could walk steadily and quickly on the mountain road.
As the class leader, Lin Zhixia should never fall behind. But after persisting for 20 minutes, she was really tired and gradually slowed down. Jin Baihui passed her from behind, walking faster and faster, and flew far away like a rocket.
"Jin Baihui has a very strong physique," said Tang Tingting.
Lin Zhixia looked at Jin Baihui's back and said, "She got full marks in the 800-meter physical education in the high school entrance exam."
In the dense misty forest, someone jogged all the way to the front of the team - this person was Duan Qiyan. Duan Qiyan didn't wear enough clothes and felt a little cold, so he ran back and forth in front of and behind the team to quickly warm himself up.
Duan Qiyan ran to Lin Zhixia's side and heard Tang Tingting talking about Jin Baihui. He couldn't help but tell Lin Zhixia: "I want to tell you something."
Lin Zhixia asked casually: "What's the matter?"
Duan Qiyan waved his arms and stepped on the spot: "Shen Fuxuan, he has a crush on Jin Baihui."
Lin Zhixia was extremely shocked: "Really?"
Duan Qiyan rarely saw Lin Zhixia with this expression. Lin Zhixia blinked and looked at him. He confessed without hiding anything, "Really, Shen Fuxuan has a crush on Jin Baihui."
"What the hell!" Tang Tingting screamed after hearing this.
Duan Qiyan warned them, "Don't tell anyone else."
"I won't tell you." Lin Zhixia said seriously.
Duan Qiyan nodded and ran to the back of the team.
On the narrow mountain path, the air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful, but Tang Tingting had no intention of enjoying the scenery. She was puzzled and could not help but hugged Lin Zhixia's shoulders and asked, "Why does Shen Rongxuan have a crush on Jin Baihui?"
"Jin Baihui has many advantages," Lin Zhixia enumerated them seriously. "Yesterday, I told you that Jin Baihui is particularly perseverant. She is diligent, hardworking, and doesn't care about the outside world..."
Tang Tingting questioned: "But, in our class, almost no one wants to play with her?"
Lin Zhixia waved her hands: "No, don't think so. Jin Baihui has no friends in our class because she doesn't need to gain emotional value from the outside world. Wow, how high is this realm? Think about it carefully."
Tang Tingting held her breath.
Lin Zhixia was still giving her some advice: "Jin Baihui spends all her time studying. She never invests time and energy in interpersonal relationships. She doesn't need to chat or make friends. Her sense of self-satisfaction comes from filling in the gaps in her knowledge."
Tang Tingting was influenced by Lin Zhixia and followed Lin Zhixia's suggestion and added: "Jin Baihui's physique is also very strong. She ran the 800 meters much faster than both of us."
"Yes, yes." Lin Zhixia nodded repeatedly.
Tang Tingting frowned: "According to what you said, Shen Fuxuan has very high standards?"
"It's quite high." Lin Zhixia agreed.
Tang Tingting said to herself, "I was just wondering, Shen Fuxuan has a crush on Jin Baihui, why doesn't he have a crush on me? Now that you've said that, I'm suddenly enlightened. I'm not as good as Shen Fuxuan."
Lin Zhixia put her arm around Tang Tingting's shoulders and said, "Tang Tingting, you are also a very good person. You are lively and cheerful, considerate, have a strong will, and excellent coordination ability. You are very popular in our class, and there is almost no classmate who doesn't like you..."
After hearing Lin Zhixia's series of sincere praises for her, Tang Tingting couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Especially when Lin Zhixia said: Almost no classmates don't like you... From what I heard! Isn't it implying that Lin Zhixia also likes Tang Tingting?
A few minutes ago, Tang Tingting was still envious of Jin Baihui being secretly in love with Shen Fuxuan. Now, she is no longer envious, because she has Lin Zhixia's friendship.
Tang Tingting seemed to be floating on soft cotton instead of walking on a rugged mountain road. She forgot her promise to Duan Qiyan. During the break, she told the other girls the explosive news that "Shen Fuxuan has a crush on Jin Baihui".
By lunch time, everyone in the entire Grade 1 (27) class, except Shen Chongxuan himself, knew that he had a crush on Jin Baihui.
Shen Fuxuan noticed that everyone was looking at him. He asked Duan Qiyan: "What happened in class?"
Duan Qiyan buried his head in his meal: "Nothing's wrong."
They had lunch at a farmhouse restaurant on the top of the mountain. On the round wooden table were braised fish, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, scrambled eggs with black fungus, tomato chicken soup, and several other dishes that Duan Qiyan couldn't name.
Duan Qiyan was picking up dishes and eating rice frantically. Shen Fuxuan looked at him and whispered, "You'd better tell me the truth."
Shen Fuxuan was tall and thin, with a very handsome appearance. He was originally a very attractive person. But now, he warned with a sinister look and gnashed teeth: "Don't make me repeat it a second time."
Duan Qiyan didn't even dare to glance at him, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
They sat on the east side of a round table, close to a window. Outside the window was a bamboo forest, with sparse green shadows nearby, undulating mountains in the distance, and white clouds gradually dispersing, creating a fairy-like beauty.
Lin Zhixia held the rice bowl, ate for a while, and admired the scenery for a while, feeling relaxed and happy. She took a bite of the steamed pork with rice flour happily, but she heard Shen Fuxuan raise his voice in her ear: "Okay, if you don't tell the truth, I'll ask others to tell you, and you'll be finished."
Duan Qiyan was not the type to swallow his anger. He was provoked by Shen Fuxuan and exploded on the spot: "I told Lin Zhixia that you have a crush on Jin Baihui!"
After hearing these words, Lin Zhixia was stunned.
The head teacher, Mr. Deng, was also stunned.
Only Jin Baihui was still eating.
Senior One (27) class fell into silence, without a single noise. The wind stopped and the light and shadows shone sideways.
Teacher Deng stood up and took charge of the situation: "Let's not talk about anything else now. Everyone, eat and drink well, have fun and sleep well. When we return to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, I will deal with today's matter. Okay?"
"Okay!" Duan Qi Yan responded cheerfully.
Shen Fuxuan's expression, however, could not be described as "ugly". His face was ashen, and he was peeling fish meat like a murderer. The students sitting around him scattered and fled to the next table to eat. Gradually, only Lin Zhixia, Duan Qiyan, and Tang Tingting were left by Shen Fuxuan's side.
Tang Tingting did not leave because she felt that she understood Shen Fuxuan. Most of the students in Class 27 of Senior 1 did not see the good qualities of Jin Baihui, did not understand the true meaning, and did not reach the same level of thought.
So, when they heard about the scandal between Shen Fuxuan and Jin Baihui, they felt unbelievable.
Tang Tingting shook her head and began to comfort Shen Fuxuan: "Shen Fuxuan, don't worry about what your classmates think. Don't back down. Lin Zhixia and I are on your side."
Shen Fuxuan almost couldn't catch his breath.
He said coldly, "I don't like Jin Baihui."
Lin Zhixia observed his expression and felt very strange. He should not be lying.
Lin Zhixia was sure that Duan Qiyan did not lie.
Duan Qiyan heard Shen Fuxuan's declaration and immediately responded, "If you like it, then like it. No one is stopping you. We are not your class teachers. We are your friends for four years. Do you still want to hide your little tricks from us?"
Shen Fuxuan cursed fiercely: "Get lost."
"What are you doing?" Duan Qiyan was a little angry, "Why are you still scolding me?"
Lin Zhixia tried to smooth things over: "Stop arguing and eat quietly."
After the meal, everyone rested for half an hour, and then, led by the tour guide, took a cable car to view the scenery of Penglai Mountain.
Each cable car is completely enclosed and can accommodate up to four people. Therefore, Lin Zhixia, Tang Tingting, Shen Fuxuan, and Duan Qiyan got into one car.
Lin Zhixia opened her schoolbag, took out a book and put it on her legs.
There was a piece of strawberry letter paper tucked into the book page. She held a ballpoint pen and wrote on the paper: Senior 1 (27) class has arrived at Penglai Mountain. It is such a joyous thing for the whole class to travel together. Now I am sitting in the cable car, I see the lush and tall century-old trees, the thousand-year-old temple shrouded in mist...
Duan Qiyan asked, "Who are you writing to?"
Tang Tingting immediately responded: "Jiang Yubai, who else could it be?"
"It's Jiang Yubai." Lin Zhixia admitted.
Duan Qiyan leaned forward and asked: "What is your relationship with Jiang Yubai?"
Lin Zhixia said frankly: "We are good friends."
Shen Fuxuan interrupted: "Duan Qiyan, stop meddling in other people's business."
"Are you still angry with me?" Duan Qiyan turned to look at him, "I've already apologized to you."
Shen Fuxuan chuckled: "If I kill you and then say sorry, will you forgive me?"
Duan Qiyan answered very seriously: "I am already dead, how can I forgive you?"
"Stop arguing." Lin Zhixia stopped them.
After she finished speaking, peace returned to the cable car.
Lin Zhixia wrote a poem on a piece of white paper while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window. The natural scenery composed of continuous mountains was abstracted into a multi-dimensional space in her mind. She began to think about the three-dimensional projection of high-dimensional objects, and unconsciously thought of the commonly used data dimensionality reduction algorithms such as PCA, ICA, low variance filtering and high correlation filtering.
Duan Qiyan interrupted her thoughts again: "We are here, let's go and see the ancient temple."
The cable car arrived at the end point, and Lin Zhixia and others quickly followed the tour guide.
The tour guide held up a loud speaker and said loudly: "Students from Class 27, follow me closely. Next we are going to visit the most famous scenic spot in Penglai Mountain, Baodeng Temple. There is a sentence in the Lotus Sutra. Have you heard of it? The Lotus Sutra says, 'One lamp is passed on to other lamps, and eventually all lamps will be bright.' Our Baodeng Temple has a long history. There is a bright lamp in front of the temple gate. For many years, the wind and rain have blown it, but the light has never been extinguished..."
The tour guide led the students forward while talking.
The temple is surrounded by towering trees, with ginkgo leaves scattered all over the ground. Monks in gray robes are sweeping the ground. Inside Baodeng Temple, incense is burning and visitors are flocking in. The wooden racks in the front yard are filled with rows of red candles, and believers from far away are making sincere wishes.
Mr. Deng, the head teacher, also made a wish. He stuffed two hundred yuan into the donation box, and then wrote a lot of words on a piece of paper.
Duan Qiyan plucked up his courage and went over to take a peek.
Duan Qiyan saw that Teacher Deng wrote that he hoped his students could get good grades in the competition or a satisfactory score in the college entrance examination, and wished the students good health and a happy family.
Duan Qiyan was deeply moved. He once again revealed the secret to Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia wrote down all her thoughts and ideas, filling up three sheets of paper. After the trip to Penglai Mountain, Lin Zhixia returned home and put two stamps on the envelope. She mailed the letter to Jiang Yubai in anticipation of a reply.
