Chapter 18
Xiaoshuang came in and saw Wang Jiazhi writing something at the desk again. She saw a sentence written: The flowers in the forest have faded their spring red, too quickly. It is the nature of life that makes people regret that the water flows eastward.
Read it with a smile.
Wang Jiazhi felt embarrassed and said, "Don't read it out loud."
Xiao Shuang said, "What's the big deal? It's just the two of us." Then he took off his hat and looked in the mirror and said, "Zhou Minlin said the exam is over, so we should go out for a picnic. It's just a few people from our club, all acquaintances. It's time for you to go out and get some sunshine."
"Okay." Wang Jiazhi said as she wrote.
I went to the mountain to see the tassel flowers that day. They bloomed particularly well here, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on.
Zhou Minlin said, "This is like a pilgrimage. Only after going through hardships can one see the true Buddha."
The girls traveling with us were Xiaoshuang and Meihui. Xiaoshuang wore a light yellow and blue floral dress, while Meihui wore a light red tracksuit. Wang Jiazhi didn't have any nice clothes, so she wore an old light blue cheongsam. This one was already brighter.
Those clothes were in good condition when they were new, but now they are too old and have been washed so many times that they have turned white and faded.
After climbing for a while, everyone sat down to rest. Wang Jiazhi wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief, looked at the clear sky and the lush vegetation in the mountains, and her mood became unusually cheerful.
Zhou Minlin bought soda for everyone and handed two bottles to her and Xiaoshuang.
"Why didn't you ask Wen Runze to come along?"
Xiao Shuang said, "He's not familiar with anyone, why would he come?"
Zhou Minlin said: "We will definitely be acquaintances in the future."
Xiaoshuang lowered her head and smiled without saying anything.
It was already noon when we arrived. The sun was even hotter, but the wind on the mountain made it not that hot.
The flowers here are blooming in the clouds and mist, like a snow mountain. It is worth climbing such a high mountain.
Zhou Minlin took out his camera and took pictures of several people.
Wang Jiazhi stood under the tassel tree, wearing the lily of the valley hairpin and a wreath of tassel flowers on her head, like a beautiful woman from the Book of Songs.
Seeing how beautiful she was, Zhou Minlin said, "Take another picture."
Wang Jiazhi smiled and shook her head. Although the camera was his and he was free to take as many photos of whomever he wanted, except for the group photo, everyone else only took one or two photos, so it wouldn't be nice to take more photos of her.
Everyone sat down to eat some snacks to replenish their energy. This time, the girls agreed to prepare some snacks, and the boys would treat us to a meal after we got down the mountain.
The table was covered with a pale yellow tablecloth, and Wang Jiazhi prepared cushions for everyone. Meihui and Xiaoshuang prepared snacks, while Wang Jiazhi prepared fruit and drinks.
After everyone finished eating, they went down the mountain and the boys treated them to dinner at a restaurant at the foot of the mountain.
It was still bright outside when we came out after dinner. Outside was a flower street, with all kinds of flowers and plants in full bloom.
Wang Jiazhi hadn't seen so many flowers in a long time, and she couldn't help but walk over to take a look. She passed by the fragrant white peonies, musk lilies, pink roses, yellow hibiscus, blue hydrangeas... Every stall she passed was a postcard.
But she only glanced at them quickly, not daring to stop and buy anything. Although the flowers here were cheaper than those in the florist's shop, they were still a luxury for her. She had already spent a fortune just for this outing.
Zhou Minlin then said, "Take some photos here. It's so beautiful."
A boy said: "Yes, a beautiful girl."
The three girls laughed.
After taking the photo, Zhou Minlin said, "We can't borrow someone else's stall to take photos for free, let's buy some flowers. We can't ask the girls to buy flowers for themselves, so let's three men each give a bouquet."
Xiao Shuang said, "No need. I've already asked you to treat me to a meal, so how can I ask you to buy me flowers?"
Zhou Minlin said, "It's just a bouquet of flowers. Don't worry, I won't let Wen Runze misunderstand."
Xiao Shuang's face flushed red, and she said, "You are so frivolous."
Zhou Minlin didn't wait for the two boys. He paid for three bouquets of flowers himself and asked the three of them to choose one each.
Meihui chose a bunch of bright red gladioluses, Xiaoshuang chose a bunch of white ginger flowers, and Wang Jiazhi chose a bunch of pink peonies.
On the tram back, everyone was tired. They chatted at first, but then they were too exhausted to speak. Wang Jiazhi leaned against the window, Xiaoshuang leaned against her, and Meihui leaned against Xiaoshuang, each of them falling asleep with a bouquet of flowers in their arms. The other two boys also fell asleep. Zhou Minlin turned around and motioned for her to go to sleep too, as he knew she wouldn't miss her stop. Before she knew it, she fell asleep too.
It was dark when they returned to the dormitory, and the corridor was quiet. Finally, the dormitory was bustling with people.
Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang were very tired and didn't have the energy to take a shower after lying down. They smiled at each other, put the flowers in their pockets, and went to take a shower.
They fell asleep soon after returning.
The next day, Wang Jiazhi didn't wake up until almost noon. Xiaoshuang dressed in a purple dress with a bow on the chest, let her hair down and tied a purple headband. She looked as happy as a little white rabbit in front of the mirror. She didn't know Wang Jiazhi was awake, so she quietly closed the door and left.
It turns out that people who are in love cannot stand being away from each other for a moment.
