paradise
This month's exam was pretty standard, not as incredibly difficult as the one at the beginning of the semester. Although everyone still said things like "it was so hard" or "I'm going to fail" after the exam, most of them were just being modest, and they still looked confident.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the last exam. Shen Anyan paused, stood up, and began collecting the answer sheets from front to back. The seating for this monthly exam was arranged based on the students' rankings from the opening exam. She sat in the first row, first seat, and was generally the one collecting the answer sheets from the first row of each exam.
She knew most of the people in the examination room, and they were basically students from the first two classes. The two seats behind Shen Anyan were occupied by He Qingtian and Gu Cijiang.
After collecting the papers, Shen Anyan handed in the answer sheet for the first column. There were no classes next, so he could go home directly after restoring the desks and chairs in the classroom.
The first examination room where Shen Anyan was located was their original classroom. He Qingtian was moving his desk when Jiang Xiaosong walked in from outside the classroom with his schoolbag on his back. He greeted Shen Anyan first, then went to He Qingtian to help him move his chair.
"Hurry up, my mother is here to pick me up. We can go back together later." Jiang Xiaosong said.
He Qingtian nodded, and the two of them quickly packed up their seats, said goodbye to Shen Anyan, and left.
Shen Anyan was in no hurry to leave. When she went out to move the table, she happened to meet Gu Cijiang who was coming out of the classroom.
Her eyes lit up, and she chased after him and asked, "Are you free this weekend?"
Gu Cijiang glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm planning to go to the amusement park downtown this weekend. Do you want to come with me?"
Gu Cijiang shook his head and refused: "I have to make up for the lessons on the weekend, so I probably won't be able to go."
Seeing the other party's disappointed look, he hesitated for a moment and added: "Next time, if I'm free on the weekend, I'll go with you."
After the other party left, Shen Anyan walked to the aisle and was about to move her things when suddenly someone put his arm around her shoulders from behind.
A voice with a smile sounded in her ears.
"Teacher Xiaoyan, what makes you so unhappy?"
Shen Anyan looked at the person who came and it was Lu Zhou.
She said: "I'm not unhappy, why are you here?"
Lu Zhou said, "I finally finished my exams, so of course I need to relax. How about we go out and play together later?"
Shen Anyan said: "No, I have an appointment with friends to go to the amusement park tomorrow, so I need to have a good rest today."
Lu Zhou immediately said, "I want to go too! I'm your friend, why didn't you invite me?"
Shen Anyan said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid that you are not interested? Then let's go together? It's the one in the city center. Meet at nine in the morning."
Lu Zhou was finally satisfied. He smiled and said, "That's it."
After returning to her rented apartment, Shen Anyan went to bed early. The next day, after getting up and washing up, she arrived at her destination half an hour early.
The amusement park has just opened, and has launched many activities to attract tourists. Balloons and streamers are hung everywhere in front of the entrance, and staff in doll costumes take photos with children.
Chen Anyan quickly found He Qingtian, who had arrived earlier than her and was standing under the shade of a tree watching an acrobatic performance not far away.
She wore a beige top and bright yellow flared pants today, and she looked bright and gentle.
He Qingtian also quickly noticed Shen Anyan opposite him and waved to him with a smile.
Shen Anyan quickened his pace and walked over, saying with a smile: "I thought I would be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect you to be here earlier than me."
He Qingtian said, "It's better to come early. My home is quite far from here. Today is the weekend and the traffic is heavy. I'm afraid if I leave late, I'll be stuck in traffic and be late."
The two chatted for a while before someone else arrived.
Zhou Tian looked like he was still sleepy. He yawned, waved to the two of them, and walked over here.
She was dressed very simply, in a white sweatshirt and black casual pants, with no other unnecessary decorations.
Initially, only Lin Yue, Chen Shan, and Jiang Xiaosong agreed to go to the amusement park. Later, Lin Yue invited Li Xinran from the next class, Jiang Xiaosong brought Zhou Tian, and Chen Anyan added Lu Zhou. Altogether, there were eight people on the amusement park trip.
Shen Anyan checked her phone and saw that there were still twenty minutes until the appointed time. She smiled and said, "You're here quite early."
Zhou Tiandao: "I'm used to it."
As he was speaking, Shen Anyan suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"feast!"
She looked back and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The person who came was Lu Zhou, who was running towards here while waving his hand.
The woman's outfit today was striking: a black sleeveless top with a striking English design. The neckline was low, revealing her delicate collarbone. A jade necklace, its dark green accents complementing the silver earrings, was worn loosely over her, revealing her muscular shoulders and arms. His muscularity perfectly matched the current mainstream aesthetic: neither skinny nor exaggerated, but with just the right amount of sexiness.
She wore ripped jeans, which is the latest trendy style. She looked very fashionable.
Of course, the other party also felt that his outfit today was very outstanding, so when he came to Shen Anyan, he asked proudly: "How is it? Am I beautiful today?"
Shen Anyan smiled and said, "It's very beautiful."
Zhou Tian rolled his eyes in the back and grumbled to He Qingtian: "It's really like a male peacock spreading its feathers."
Lu Zhou casually hooked his arm around Chen Anyan's shoulders. Hearing Zhou Tian's words, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I heard that. If you want to judge my fashion sense, just say it. Who wears black and white all year round like you?"
Shen Anyan asked: "Do you two know each other?"
Lu Zhou explained, "My family has business dealings with him, and I've met him a few times before."
A little while later, Jiang Xiaosong also arrived, wearing the same color outfit as He Qingtian. With her around, there was no need to worry about running out of topics to talk about and getting awkward. Since she arrived, there was no awkward silence between the few of them.
Lin Yue and Li Xinran came together. They were dressed similarly, both wearing sportswear and sneakers, which was very suitable for having fun.
The only difference was that Li Xinran was carrying an extra bag with many badges printed with different photos of the same person on it, which looked very unique.
Seeing Shen Anyan looking at her bag several times, Li Xinran asked: "Do you like Xiao C too? I see you keep staring at my painful bag."
Chen Anyan was a little confused about the name "pain bag". What does it mean? Is it a bag that hurts when you put it on your back?
She said, "I just think it's very special. Is this person called Xiao C? She's very pretty."
Li Xinran's star-chasing nature was triggered. Her eyes lit up and she reflexively began to recommend Xiao C to the other party, from his rise to fame to his representative works, and then to his future prospects. If Lin Yue hadn't stopped his friend in time, she probably wouldn't have been able to talk about it for a whole day.
The clock hand reached nine o'clock, and as expected, Chen Shan, who loved to arrive on time, also arrived on time this time.
She put her hands on her hips and panted heavily, thankfully saying, "Fortunately, fortunately, I'm not late..."
Chen Shan also carried a bag covered with badges. Unlike Li Xinran, the badges on her bag were printed with photos of various second-generation male characters.
Chen Anyan knew this, after all, Chen Shan's seat was just across the corridor from hers. He had shown her his paper boyfriend many times and enthusiastically recommended that she download a game to try.
However, they were all politely rejected by Shen Anyan.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Qingtian led the group to line up at the entrance.
They arrived quite early, so it didn't take them too long to queue, and they quickly got their tickets checked and entered the amusement park.
Spring Paradise is located in the city center and is the largest amusement park in Haicheng. He Qingtian made a travel guide last night and took the park map to discuss the route with his friends.
"The three most popular rides here are the carousel, the Ferris wheel, and the roller coaster. My idea is that everyone can first check in and take photos at the carousel, then watch the parade of floats, and then try whichever ride is less crowded along the way. We can have a late lunch. Around 1:00 is peak dining time, so we can go to the roller coaster at that time to avoid the crowds, and then have lunch. After that, we can go to the haunted house and visit the fairy tale series exhibition hall. Then we can wait for the Ferris wheel and the fireworks show in the evening. How about that?"
Except for He Qingtian and Lin Yue, most of the people in the group don't like to make plans and just follow along, so naturally no one has any objections.
Chen Shan exclaimed, "You're worthy of being the squad leader. I feel relieved when I go out to play with you!"
Shen Anyan had no interest in carousels, which were only for children, and didn't know how this place became a popular tourist attraction.
However, after arriving at the destination and seeing it with her own eyes, she finally realized that this popularity was truly well-founded.
First, the size. The carousel is estimated to be half the size of the school playground, and the staff said a full circuit takes at least ten minutes. The facility is primarily platinum, and its style resembles a medieval church. The horses aren't cute cartoon figures, but rather tall, majestic steeds. There are three types: Pegasus, Lupus, and Unicorn. They're all as tall as an adult, and the colors are elegant and soft, perfectly suited to the aesthetics of young people.
Before Shen Anyan came, she said it was childish and she would never play it. But when she really saw this beautiful and agile wooden horse, she immediately regretted her decision and wanted to sit on it.
He Qingtian suppressed her impulse in time and pointed to the line at the entrance of the carousel: "If we insist on arguing with this, we will probably have to wait until two or three in the afternoon."
Shen Anyan looked at the endless queue, silently followed the other party's advice, and took several photos here reluctantly.
There were many tourists around who had the same plan as them, and they gathered outside to take pictures, most of them were young people.
There were a few boys about their age who were giggling and pushing each other, and occasionally glanced in the direction of Shen Anyan.
After a while, two boys emerged from the group and walked up to Shen Anyan. One of the handsome boys asked shyly, "Um, classmate, can you add my contact information?"
His companion gave him a speechless shove: "We're not in school, why are you calling us classmates?"
The handsome boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly and apologized: "I was too nervous. Sorry, sorry."
Shen Anyan said: "It's okay, we are students too."
The handsome boy asked: "What about the contact information..."
Lu Zhou suddenly walked over, put his arm around Shen Anyan's neck, and put his head on his shoulder affectionately, then looked at the boy opposite with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I don't really like people adding her contact information."
