Chapter 54: Study Trip (Part 3) What are you talking about that makes you so engrossed? ...
Due to the restriction of the seat belt, Yu Xiang’s sleeping posture is not as unrestrained as usual, but he still likes to rub against people when he falls asleep.
If he rubbed against it, it would be easy for him to slip off Jiang Ci's shoulder and wake up, so Jiang Ci had to hold his face with his hands and adjust his posture to prevent him from not only waking up but also twisting his neck.
There were many classmates in the car who were in a similar situation as Yu Xiang, and almost all of them chose to sleep, so no one paid attention to them.
Yu Xiang didn't wake up until they got down the mountain and were only a dozen minutes' drive away from their destination.
He rubbed his neck with his hands and stood up to feel it. The dizziness had gone away a lot, and his stomach felt much better too. At least he didn't feel like vomiting anymore.
Instead, I feel a little hungry.
"How long will it take?" Yu Xiang subconsciously turned to ask Jiang Ci, but saw that the other party had his eyes closed and looked like he was asleep.
He sat up straight again, stretched his neck and looked around, and found that everyone around him seemed to be asleep. He then bravely moved close to Jiang Ci's face, and deliberately breathed very lightly.
Really fell asleep?
Even from such a close distance, he couldn't see any flaws on Jiang Ci's face. Furthermore, his eyes were closed, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow on his face. This peaceful sleeping expression made him seem less cold and more warm.
To use Yu Xiang's description: more lifelike.
He even thought that if this person closed his eyes when facing others, he would appear more amiable, but that would be a bit too weird.
Just as Yu Xiang was immersed in his outrageous reverie, Jiang Ci quietly opened his eyes: "..."
Yu Xiang stared at him closely for a few seconds, then suddenly felt guilty, as if he had been caught doing something bad. After a moment of silence, he said dryly, "...You, you're awake?"
Jiang Ci did not respond, but just stared at his face, as if thinking.
No response was a good thing. Yu Xiang also took this opportunity to distance himself from Jiang Ci, but before he could act, he felt someone pinching his cheek: "???"
His eyes widened in shock, and his face seemed filled with disbelief.
It's wrong for me to peek at you sleeping, but you can't pinch my face either!
Receiving Yu Xiang's protest signal, Jiang Ci calmly withdrew his hand: "Sorry, I thought I was dreaming."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that, but after he said that, Yu Xiang became even more furious: "Even so, you should pinch your own face--"
Before he could utter the last two words, Jiang Ci's raised index finger touched his lips: "Shh. Be quiet."
Yu Xiang then realized that everyone else in the car was still resting, so he had to shut up silently. However, he did not forget to warn Jiang Ci with his eyes: You wait for me.
The latter smiled back at him.
Yu Xiang now regretted very much that he didn't just wake the man up.
"Everyone, wake up! We're almost at camp." A few minutes later, the team leader, surnamed Du, reappeared within their sight. "We'll be sleeping in tents the first night and staying in a hotel the second. Also, you'll have to set up your own tents, so after we get off the bus, divide into groups according to where you came from. Each group will have one student go to the supplies office to pick up their tents."
As soon as he said this, most of the people in the car woke up and started chattering.
"Tent? How hot would that be?"
"Before we came here, we said we were staying in a hotel."
"Luckily I brought my little fan."
"What if I can't do it? I'm counting on you, my deskmate."
"…Is there a possibility that I am also clumsy?"
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I understand your concerns. First of all, the purpose of the study tour is to let you learn something practical. Secondly, we are in the mountains now, and the temperature will be relatively low at night, so don't worry about it being too hot."
"Will there be snakes?"
"Will it be in the woods?"
"No, our campsites are very open, and this is also a tourist attraction. You don't have to worry about safety issues - provided you obey our instructions."
Having said this, everyone felt relieved and began to look forward to the next arrangements.
"You go and get the tent later." Yu Xiang said to Jiang Ci preemptively.
"Then you come with me?"
Yu Xiang raised his eyebrows and shook his index finger: "No, what are you thinking about? Of course, two people should ride together... What are you laughing at?"
What's so funny about this?
“Just feeling relieved.”
Yu Xiang: “?”
Jiang Ci: "You actually didn't just sit back and let me do all the work this time."
Yu Xiang was dissatisfied: "When have I ever been a hands-off boss?"
"Do you need me to help you recall? We went for an outdoor barbecue before..." Jiang Ci was about to tell the story.
Yu Xiang remembered everything when he heard the words "outdoor barbecue" and quickly stopped him: "Stop. I know. I remember it now. No need to help me recall it, thank you."
"What barbecue? Is lunch barbecue?" Zhang Miao in the front row caught the key words, turned around and asked with shining eyes.
"Barbecue? Is it true?" Fang Chengyu also came over after hearing the news, and asked with excitement and half-belief.
Yu Xiang's face turned black and he said, "Be obedient, don't just listen halfway, okay? If you keep causing trouble, I'll roast you both."
Zhang Miao immediately cried out, "No, Brother Yu, my meat is sour and I can't eat it."
Fang Chengyu nodded and added fuel to the fire, "Yes, yes, yes, eating it will make you stupid."
Zhang Miao: "? Old Fang, stop cursing at me in a roundabout way."
Fang Chengyu pretended to be shocked and said, "You actually heard that I was scolding you?"
Yu Xiang: “…”
Jiang Ci: "..."
These two are really unique.
Soon the bus entered the designated parking lot, and everyone picked up their bags and got off the bus one after another.
It was almost noon, and the scorching sun made everyone sizzle with heat, and complaints were heard one after another.
Under pressure, the squad leader quickly took the roll call and confirmed that everyone was there before heading to the camping area under the leadership of Brother Du.
Fortunately, the place was located in a cool place after all, so they could avoid being roasted before the tent was even set up.
"Give us half an hour. Those who need to use the restroom can go to the restroom, and those who need to get a tent can get a tent. Meet here at 11:45."
"Brother Du, when are we having dinner?" Huang Xingqiang asked in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, people won't start entering the restaurant for dinner until 12 o'clock. We need to get the supplies first." Brother Du explained calmly, "Everyone, hurry up. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get in line."
Many people present were already starving, and upon hearing this, they immediately dispersed and ran away in a hurry.
As agreed upon in the car, Jiang Ci went to get the tent while Yu Xiang waited there - he hadn't drunk any water along the way and didn't want to go to the bathroom for the time being.
He thought he would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ci would come back with the tent in just a few minutes.
"So soon?"
Jiang Ci put the tent on the ground and dusted off his hands: "There are a lot of people going to the toilet, so there are fewer people getting tents."
"I see."
"I'm going to wash my hands. You stay here and watch the things." Jiang Ci turned and left after giving the instructions.
Yu Xiang nodded: "Go ahead."
By around 11:45, most of the four teams had received their tents, lined up and headed to the restaurant.
After lunch, they rested in the air-conditioned restaurant until two o'clock in the afternoon, and then returned to the campsite for instruction on tent setting up.
There are six classes in the camping area where they are located. Each class forms a circle with professional staff providing teaching inside the circle.
This was not a difficult task for them. Yu Xiang and Jiang Ci cooperated very well and it was done in no time.
However, because they built the building too quickly and well, they were discovered by the sharp-eyed Lei Wanquan and were sent away to help other students in the class.
Although they are called other classmates, most of them are actually girls - the boys have almost finished their matches, and some of those with clumsy hands have already received ridicule and help from the next group.
Jiang Ci was assigned by Lei Wanquan to help Ning Anyan's group, while Yu Xiang was called to another group of girls.
"Wow, thank you so much." The two girls were short and weak, and seeing Yu Xiang was like seeing a savior. "Thank you so much."
"It's okay." Yu Xiang responded perfunctorily, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ci not far away.
Ning Anyan stood next to Jiang Ci, very close to him, and no one knew what they were saying.
Yu Xiang felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
What are you talking about that makes you so engrossed?
As if sensing his gaze, Jiang Ci turned around without warning and looked towards him.
Yu Xiang looked away like a frightened rabbit, pretending to be busy, and said to the two girls, "Help me hold the other side."
"OK!"
Although it was not as fast as the one he had just built with Jiang Ci, fortunately these two girls were very smart and followed Yu Xiang's instructions, and the construction went smoothly.
But it wasn't so smooth for Jiang Ci - it wasn't set up yet when Yu Xiang walked over as if nothing had happened.
"It's not that corner, it's the other one." A rare trace of impatience appeared on Jiang Ci's face, and he said to Ning Anyan coldly.
"Ah? Sorry." Ning Anyan quickly changed the corner to hold on to. "Is this it?"
"Um."
But just as Jiang Ci squatted down to secure it, something went wrong on Ning Anyan's side, and the tent that had been unfolded with great difficulty bounced back to its collapsed state.
Jiang Ci: "..."
"Um, I..." Ning Anyan wanted to explain embarrassedly, but then she saw Jiang Ci stand up, turn around and say to Yu Xiang who was watching the show, "You come."
"Ah? Me?" Yu Xiang said as he walked towards Ning Anyan, "Let me do it—by the way, why don't I see your deskmate?"
"Oh, Sitian went to the bathroom because of a stomachache." Ning Anyan explained awkwardly, "Then I'll leave it to you. If you need any help, just call me."
Yu Xiang imitated Jiang Ci and said "hmm": "It's okay, I don't think I need any help."
Ning Anyan scratched her fingers awkwardly: "Okay then."
Yu Xiang and Jiang Ci quickly set up Ning Anyan's group's tent. They then walked around again and saw that everyone else had almost finished setting up their tent, so they went to the nearby restroom to wash their hands.
At this time, most people were still tidying up their tents, and there were not many people in the bathroom, so they each occupied a sink to wash their hands.
"Come to think of it, why did you choose that number when you were playing with the number bomb in the car?" Yu Xiang squeezed some hand sanitizer onto his hands and rubbed them, then asked casually.
It was only later that he felt strange, how could it be such a coincidence - he said 520 because it was his birthday and it happened to be within the range, so why did Jiang Ci say it?
