After lingering a little longer at the park entrance and reorganizing their formation, each class, led by their homeroom teacher, entered the park in an orderly fashion.
During this time, Chen Bing was only able to put Shang Yunmiao down at her insistence. When she felt the two ridiculous little white rabbits brush against her back, Chen Bing's initial dissatisfaction turned into a sudden "Wow!"
"One more time."
"Huh?" Xiao Shang didn't quite understand what Chen Bing meant.
"Please do it again." Using an even more polite tone, Chen Bing sincerely requested Shang Yunmiao once more.
"What?" Shang Yunmiao chuckled and patted Chen Bing's chest, taking it as a joke and not taking it seriously. After this simple response, the girl grabbed Chen Bing's sleeve and stood obediently beside him, then followed the group towards the park entrance.
Seeing that the girl didn't understand his feelings, Chen Bing couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he quickly cheered up again, thinking that he could do it again on the way back.
With anticipation for the future, Chen Bing stepped into this little-known wetland park.
Entering the park, one is greeted by lush greenery and the gentle breeze of spring. The first thing that catches the eye is a crystal-clear, shimmering lake. A light breeze caresses the surface, creating ripples. Flocks of waterbirds swim freely on its surface, sometimes diving to forage, sometimes soaring high, adding boundless vitality to the lake.
Along the lakeshore lies a dense reed bed. In April, the reeds have sprouted tender green leaves, swaying gently in the breeze and rustling softly. From the reed bed, the occasional birdsong adds to the sense of harmony and beauty of nature.
After mentally crafting a short essay on the spot, Chen Bing turned her attention away from the scenery and focused intently on playing with Xiao Shang's hands.
At this moment, Hu Jianjun, who was leading the class like a mother hen, turned around and told his classmates to be careful, not to get too close to the lake, to come to him if they needed anything, and to meet back here at 12 o'clock. Then he let everyone have free time.
"Yay!" The students in Class 12 shouted happily, and then scattered in twos and threes with their friends.
So why do we have to meet here at 12 o'clock? The observant Chen Bing kept this in mind, thinking that 12 o'clock was so early, it couldn't be a time to gather and go back, so could it be a time to gather for lunch?
Putting this question aside for the time being, Chen Bing took Shang Yunmiao's hand and began to stroll around the park.
Although Shangping People's Wetland Park is not a well-known tourist attraction, its area and construction are quite impressive. The total planned area is approximately 90,000 mu, with the core area covering about 10,000 mu.
This area is so large that you definitely can't see it all in a day. So the park thoughtfully provides sightseeing buses and boats. Of course, these aren't free.
At first, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao didn't have any particular places they wanted to explore because they had been here a few times before.
After all, it's a school-organized spring outing, so the focus is on having fun during school hours. Since it's not lunchtime yet, Chen Bing plans to wander around and see what the other students are doing. Later, when Xiao Shang gets tired, they'll find a scenic spot to sit down, and Chen Bing can trick Xiao Shang into giving him something to eat while enjoying the view – perfect.
While smugly thinking about it, the two strolled along the lakeside path and soon arrived at a ferry crossing. The ferry crossing looked quite old, but there were still many exquisite pedal boats moored nearby, presumably for tourists. Turning their attention to the ferry shore, they saw several classmates gathered there, talking to the staff.
Just then, a pair of gay friends passed by Chen Bing. They also noticed the ferry crossing and exclaimed, "That's so nice! If only you were a girl. We could ride together on the lake, all lovey-dovey. It would be such a wonderful thing."
"Go to hell!" another boy said, clearly dissatisfied. "You look just like Xiaonan Liang; you should be the girl."
So this is what you care about.
Chen Bing mentally complained about the two gay guys, then glanced at the genuine girl beside him and said, "Let's go boating for a bit?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shang was somewhat tempted. However, after glancing at the lake surface, which was not very calm due to the wind, and the flimsy pedal boat, she felt a little scared.
"No, the waves are too big. I can't swim. Let's walk around on the shore instead."
Chen Bing agreed, thinking that safety was indeed the most important thing. Today's overcast and windy weather was really not suitable for driving such a small boat on such a large lake. If it capsized, it would be terrible. It was better to be careful. If they really wanted to go boating, they could go to the sightseeing yachts.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing replied with an "okay," and then pulled Xiao Shang along the road.
Soon, they came across another place where classmates had gathered.
This is a small, antique-style building standing by the lake. Once you go inside, you'll find that it's actually a small convenience store.
A convenience store? Perfect, I can go buy some snacks with Shang Yunmiao. With that thought, Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao, who was holding her arm, what snacks she wanted.
"No need, I brought cookies, potato chips, lemon tea, and... well, these from home!"
"Would you like some QQ candy? I suddenly realized it's been a long time since I've had any."
QQ candy! Is it the kind of QQ candy that's sweet and sour and very chewy?
Shang Yunmiao's cravings were immediately aroused, and she changed her mind and said she wanted to eat.
"Okay, if you want to eat it, I'll take you to buy it, okay?"
Okay~
With a satisfied smile, Chen Bingxin thought that he would ask Shang Yunmiao for a reward after he bought the QQ candy. With that thought in mind, he led Shang Yunmiao and soon arrived at the convenience store.
As soon as he arrived, he heard his classmates who came to buy things and the shop owner talking about this.
"Boss, how much is a Coke?"
Six pieces.
"It's so expensive, is it the one-liter kind?" The student who asked the price was a little surprised, thinking that since it was a tourist area, he could accept paying one yuan more than the five yuan outside.
"No, it's the kind that sells for three yuan outside."
After a brief silence, the student eventually left because he was worried about the money.
