Chapter 48: Autumn Travel Notes

  On Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, we gathered at school, with a sense of readiness. Looking at one bus after another, some people couldn't help but discuss which bus looked newer, which bus was too old, and hoped to sit on a certain bus, hiding their excitement and agitation.

  Boys are always unaware of the taste of sorrow, going to a park with everyone can be expected for a long time, and being happy for a long time. Maybe this is why many people want to reborn back to their childhood.

  Our class luck is not too good or too bad, the big bus we sit on is neither very old nor brand new. As soon as we get on the bus, everyone starts grabbing seats. You know when we were young, we didn't care about gentlemanly demeanor, and boys and girls were still separated by an invisible line. Whether it's from height or strength, boys are always one step ahead.

  Most girls inevitably sat in the back, and at that time, teachers also had absolute authority. Maybe you're not afraid of your dad or mom at home, but a teacher's words are considered sacred decrees. No one dared to sit in the front row because everyone tacitly agreed it was for the teacher, and no one wanted to sit next to the teacher either, as they couldn't relax under the teacher's watchful eye.

  The teacher walked up and found that most of the girls were sitting in the back, so she cleared her throat and said: "Please raise your hands if you get carsick." The teacher looked around and found that there weren't many students who got carsick in our class, but they were all girls. Then she said: "Okay, boys, you are all little men now, you should help your classmates, right? Please let the girls who get carsick sit in the front row by the window. Okay, I'll see who moves fast and who is a helpful good kid."

  As expected, many boys got up to let the dizzy girls sit down. Some boys were also embarrassed and asked us non-dizzy girls who were originally sitting in the back to move to the front, but we said it was no big deal and didn't need to, yet they insisted that we move over, so now I'm sitting in the middle to rear section of the bus.

  Along the way, whether boys or girls were chattering away, some started eating plums and snacks. After all, some classmates were so excited that they didn't even eat breakfast. Fortunately, by the time we arrived at the Botanical Garden, no one in our class had gotten carsick.

  We lined up in an orderly queue, led by the teacher into the garden. First, we collectively admired various flowers, grasses and trees, then had half an hour of free activity time, after which we had to rush to the Youth Science and Technology Museum, because that was the main event, where we would have lunch. During the collective flower viewing, some classmates took photos while walking, and some stopped at the introduction places to take notes.

  Everyone knows that autumn outings are great, but every time they end, there is a routine task, writing a travelogue. The school also needs to conduct an evaluation, and good articles will be posted on the bulletin board.

  After the trip to the botanical garden, we rushed to the Science Museum. When we got off the bus, it was already 11:30. The teacher announced: "Classmates, now everyone find a place to have lunch, and gather at the entrance at 4 o'clock. After lunch, you can play various games in the museum, watch science fiction movies, it's very fun. But don't forget the gathering time, I declare again that it's 4 o'clock. Okay, dismissed!"

  Classmates went to find a place to eat lunch in twos and threes, I also pulled Xiao Xiao, Ya Ya and Shu Tengteng together to walk, it seems that everyone valued the lawn not far away. Xiao Xiao found a pretty big spot and sat down on the ground, saying: "It's so comfortable, finally can have lunch. So tired..."

  I joked with her saying: "You haven't done anything all morning, how can you be so tired?"

  "How can you not be tired? I didn't sleep well last night and walked so far in the botanical garden today."

  "Haha, you went to steal cows last night and didn't sleep well. And today you've only walked a short distance and are already shouting that you're tired. You really lack exercise, look at YaYa who hasn't complained of being tired yet."

  "Xiao, can't you just give me some face? Honestly."

  Yaya laughed and said: "It's okay, we're all our own people, no need to save face, right? Haha haha" The three of us burst out laughing together. Xiao Xiao got angry and said: "It's all because of you, Yaya, you've corrupted her! Just wait till I tickle you!"

  I immediately got up and ran, turned around and bumped into someone, I quickly said: "Sorry, sorry." When I looked up, it was Wu Hanwen, he smiled and said: "It's okay."

  It turned out that it was my brother who brought Xuan Yuan Ruo, Shen Gege, and Wu Hanwen over. My brother smiled and said: "Sister, you four girls, we four boys can have lunch together, right? And I'm a little worried about you, you and Xiao Xiao are both directionally challenged, so let's play together this afternoon."

  I looked up at the three of them, and it seemed like they were all willing, especially Xiaoxiao, who had an expectant look in her eyes, as if I wouldn't agree would be unfair to her. No wonder, with Brother Yuanshuai around. I nodded happily and said, "No problem."

  We each brought out our own things and shared them to eat together, YaYa brought some pastries made by her family's chef, which delighted XiaoXiao, but since XuanYuanGe was present, she didn't eat too much of it. As for what XuanYuanRui brought, it was actually sausage, unexpectedly this guy likes eating these, and ShuTongTong also generously shared the meat floss bread that she loves with us.

  When everyone had eaten almost enough, I found that my Wuyuan five-spice beef was still left with a little bit, which was very popular. However, the roast cake sat far away and didn't eat it. I scooped up the bag and said, "Roast cake, this leftover belongs to you."

  "Alright, don't be angry with me, you like eating, right? Look at how little you've eaten."

  Shu Tongtong made a cute expression and said: "Xiao Xiao, I also like to eat, why didn't you pass it to me? And how did you know Wu Hanwen likes to eat, but I don't. Is Wu Hanwen...?"

  I smiled and said, "Yesterday at the supermarket, he gave me the last bag, so of course I have to take special care of him." The words sounded strange, but I didn't think deeply about it. I just didn't expect Wu Hanwen to be so popular, and soon after, I became the fish in the saying "the city gate is on fire, and the fish in the moat are affected".

  After we all ate our fill, we decided to go into the hotel to take a look. The eight of us walked together, and just happened to be four boys and four girls. We couldn't help but attract attention, and some people might have thought we were dating early, but we really weren't. Some classmates were envious, while others were jealous and resentful, such as Lin Lilili, who gave me an unfriendly glance.

  Upon entering the museum, we found that there were indeed many interesting science games. However, it was crowded everywhere. It was difficult for us eight people to coordinate. The boys wanted to play more exciting games such as simulated car racing, air hockey, and basketball shooting, while we wanted to watch some sci-fi movies and play more intellectually stimulating games.

  To avoid disagreement, I suggested we split up and act separately, most people agreed. However, I saw XiaoXiao's eyes seemed to be begging me, huh, she was willing to accommodate the boys, but YaYa and ShuTong might not be willing. Forget it, I sacrificed myself and said: "How about this? My cousin and I will form a group with XiaoXiao and her brother, and you guys can form another group?"

  Shu Tongtong immediately nodded and said okay, okay. I took a look at Ya Ya, and it seemed like she also agreed. Actually, I was really clueless, the two of them were not interested in drinking either. However, Wu Hanwen and Xuan Yuanrui both disagreed.

  In the end, I had no choice but to let the boys play with the boys and the girls play with the girls. Later, around 3:30, we met at the car simulator on the third floor, everyone agreed not to separate again, so we rested for a while near the third floor, and then walked together to gather at the main entrance.

  After about twenty minutes, we walked out of the building and found that it had started raining outside. The eight of us only had three umbrellas: Xiaoxiao's was a small one that could barely fit two people under it, my umbrella, and my brother-in-law's umbrella.

  Back and forth, in the end it was me and Xuan Yuan, one umbrella for each of us, Xiao Ge's brother and Xiao Xiao shared an umbrella, Ya Ya and Shu Teng Teng shared an umbrella, and we had to walk slowly to barely avoid getting soaked.

  Xiao Xiao and her brother were holding an umbrella, with Xiao Xiao standing beside him and her brother standing in front. As for our group, I was standing at the very front, while Bao Bing and Xuan Yuan stood behind me. If you ask why, it's because they two consistently proposed this arrangement, as if the two of them were secretly competing about something behind my back.

  We arrived at the assembly point at the gate, and the teacher asked us to hurry up and get on the bus. I was fine except for my shoes and pant legs getting wet. It's true that having a bigger umbrella is better, it really makes a difference in critical moments. Actually, anyone with eyes can see why, it's just that I'm a bit slow-witted...
