No. 19 Spring's lush flowers like brocade

  On the last morning of April, a string of luxury buses stopped at the circular flower bed in front of the main gate of Water No. 1 Middle School. Wenren Shuwu provided free of charge.

  Today, first-year high school students are going on a spring outing to the city's botanical garden.

  The downstairs was crowded with people. The girls were chatting and laughing, occasionally bursting into more pleasant laughter than usual, secretly paying attention to each other's clothes. The boys either sat on one side, drooling as they watched the girls flit about like butterflies, or took advantage of the gathering time to play a game of ball. The class cadres held attendance sheets, calling out names and shouting in the bustling crowd.

  "Who hasn't arrived yet?"

  "Hey XXX, give XX a call and ask where he is?"

  "Who wants motion sickness medicine?"

  ……

  Tong Xiaomi helped Aijin carry her school bag. The zipper of the school bag was wide open, and the latter, like a groundhog, had almost buried her entire head in her large school bag, with both hands constantly rummaging for her PSP.

  "That's strange, I clearly took it out!" The rustling sound of her rummaging through her backpack made Tong Xiaomi feel like there was a rabbit jumping around inside the bag she was holding.

  "Didn't you pick it up and then put it back by the door when you were about to leave?" If she hadn't brought it, Xiaomi would have known what had happened just by thinking with her toes.

  "No way... Ah, here it is!" Akin pulled out a satisfied smile from his backpack and held up the pink PSP in his hand.

  Giving the children's painting a dizzying medicine, and passing by these two people, Naiqiao caught sight of the pink and frowned silently, "You're not an ordinary cruel woman, you actually bought a pink one, why are you ruining the color pink like this?"

  Aiken shrugged, "Grandma bought it. What's the difference in colors anyway? Besides, this pink looks pretty good." Aiken wiped the dust off the PSP screen with his hand and asked Ni Qiao, "What have you been wandering around for since morning? When are we leaving?"

  "Dizzy car medicine. Who knows when to set off..." The class teacher really knew how to order people around, not ordering the precious class monitor, but ordering this little hygiene committee member. Ni Qiao sighed and then smiled at Xiaomi, "But Xiaomi, it's really rare today, why didn't I see your family's tailless bear?"

  "He said he was going to smoke. Free reading - people - book - house" After having breakfast together in the morning, Han Qi suddenly said that he wanted to find a place to smoke and didn't entangle her as usual.

  Xiaomi felt a little disappointed, she had specially dressed up today and wore the dress that was just made and delivered two days ago. This is still her first time wearing a skirt this year. But Han Qi left after finishing breakfast, without even taking a second glance, let alone giving any praise.

  Just then, I heard Teacher Gao, who teaches physical education, shouting: "Each class, assemble!"

  Then all 9 classes of first year high school students gathered in a heap on the empty ground between the teaching building and the flower bed.

  The chubby League Secretary stood in front of the crowd, holding a loudspeaker and shouting:

  "Classmates, today we are going to the city botanical garden. I hope you all take this opportunity to experience the breath of spring, carefully observe the flowers, grasses and trees that we don't often see in our daily lives, broaden your knowledge, and cultivate your emotions. Get ready for the next stage of learning. Also, everyone must pay attention to safety, do not go to remote or quiet places, do not play dangerous games, listen to the arrangements of the class teacher and class committee members, and gather on time. If you encounter an emergency outside, be sure to contact the teacher immediately. Classmates without mobile phones, do not take action alone. Has everyone remembered?"

  "Remember!" The crowd replied in unison.

  "Alright, classes that are ready can set off, dismissed!"

  After the applause subsided, the crowd began to disperse towards the buses. Then slowly, the buses drove out of the school gate in an orderly manner, leaving behind the eyes peeking out from the teaching buildings.

  ————

  Because it's still not a holiday, there aren't many tourists, only old men and women with their grandsons and granddaughters, as well as some people who seem to be out-of-town visitors, strolling around in twos and threes in the vast botanical garden, taking pictures.

  The originally quiet botanical garden was filled with laughter due to the arrival of a group of young boys and girls.

  The garden has been decorated for the upcoming May Day Labour Festival. At the entrance of the gate, fire-red azaleas and crabapples are in full bloom.

  Fresh boxwood on the flower stand forms a "51" word flower wall, next to which stands a butterfly orchid column and a welcome peony woven flower ring. Scattered people take photos in front of artificial flowers. The flower beds have been carefully trimmed, and the lamp posts along the road are all hung with flag-shaped strips that read "Welcome to the Water City Peony Festival". Stone-shaped outdoor speakers lie in the grass, quietly broadcasting elegant classical music. Even the trash cans seem to have been freshly painted.

  After getting off the bus, the class teacher made a brief assembly, informed the matters needing attention and the assembly time, and then it was free activity.

  When they were still gathering, Xiao Mi had already seen Han Qi waiting on the side and felt slightly at ease. However, after dispersing, the two did not take separate actions. Han Qi simply carried his bag, held onto Xiao Mi, and walked behind a large group of people (there are too many people, so I won't list names, everyone can look back later).

  Xiaomi led the quiet person beside her, in the dappled shade of the forest, listening to the friends' cheerful chatter, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth. Today should be a very happy day.

  "Where shall we go first?" Akin, who was walking in front, looked at the signboard with a frown.

  A group of people following behind surrounded them.

  Peony Garden, to the left. Herb Garden, to the left. Tulip Garden, ahead. Rhododendron Garden, ahead. Aquatic Plant Garden, to the right. Tropical Plant Greenhouse, to the right...

  "Turn left, middle, right, and you'll be fine." Nian Qiao said, looking at the marble map next to the signpost.

  Others had no other suggestions, so they all headed towards Peony Garden.

  As they walked into the garden, the peonies that were in full bloom immediately conquered their eyes, which were usually buried under piles of texts like ants.

  "Finally I understand why Yang Guifei wore it on her head. Compared to other flowers, they're nothing."

  Everything is full of flowers. Around me are large, gorgeous purple and red flowers, underfoot is a thin layer of petals, the air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and grass, mixed with a hint of fertilizer smell. The sunlight shines throughout the garden, each flower, each leaf, has a soft glow, dazzlingly shining with an enchanting light.

  "Let's take a photo." Mei Xue proposed happily.

  "Great! Great!" Aijin quickly took out his camera.

  Everyone took photos alone or together. One moment they wanted to take a close-up with a particularly beautiful flower, and the next they wanted to take a panoramic view with the vibrant flowerbed.

  Han Qi watched as Xiao Mi was pulled around, laughing and chatting with friends, not wanting to join in. From a distance, he saw her smiling face jumping among the flowers, but felt his own heart ache a little.

  "Kanji——!" He liked listening to her dragging out the tail of his name in a high-pitched tone, looked up to see her waving at him, "Come over here!"

  His body instinctively followed her instructions and walked over, and as soon as he got close to her, he instinctively hugged her.

  "What's wrong?" he asked softly.

  "Let's take a photo together."

  The raised, defenseless smile made him have an impulse to kiss her.

  "Uh-huh. Alright." He suppressed his urge, but didn't let go of her arms.

  Mei Xue shyly ran to a farther place, her voice slightly trembling as she called out, "You two look over here!", adjusted the angle, she looked up at the two people stuck together in the flower cluster, it was really unbelievable, just looking at these two people together would make one smile.

  "Come on, smile! One, two, three!"

  In the photo, there is Xiaomi's happy smile and Han Qi's loving kiss on her eyebrows.

  Thank you for your patience, like it and remember to vote/collection oh~

  The peony's flowering period should be in early or mid-April, and by the end of April it shouldn't be so flourishing. Moreover, for this entire month, it seems like there has been nothing but sunny weather, so it's possible that the flowering period was brought forward, and there won't be any possibility of rain delaying the flowering period... Here, in order to advance the plot, I've made our peony bloom at the end of April, Flower God please don't blame me! Let's just say this botanical garden controlled the peony's flowering period in order to increase income for Labour Day.

  By the way, although Peony Festival is mentioned, the city in this article's background isn't Luoyang, right?

  In short, it's all nonsense made up by us.

  Everyone, forgive me for my limited knowledge and shallow learning!!!
