Chapter 40 We Want Summer Camp

  Another spring has passed, and the hot summer is about to arrive. Classmates are making the most of these few days in June to study even harder than usual, aiming for scores that will satisfy themselves and especially their parents. Then they can enjoy a carefree summer without anyone whispering in their ears.

  The morning class finally ended, and we all packed up to go home. Just then, the head teacher rushed over and said: "Wait a minute, classmates, wait a minute, I have something to say to everyone. This summer vacation, the school has organized a summer camp activity. The content of the activity is to visit Ping Shan Forest Farm for observation and learning, and some small activities similar to military training will be carried out to cultivate everyone's self-reliance ability. In principle, every student should participate, but the school considers that you may have your own arrangements during the holidays, so we are soliciting your opinions. After asking your parents at noon, come to the living committee in the afternoon to sign up. The summer camp will start on July 15th and last for a week. I personally hope that students can participate in this activity as much as possible. After all, it is a collective activity, and everyone can have a lot of fun together, cultivate hands-on ability, and establish friendships. That's all, class dismissed, everyone go home, be careful on the road."

  The teacher finished speaking, and everyone enthusiastically discussed it on their way home. Among our group, Xiaoxiao was the most enthusiastic. As soon as the teacher finished speaking, she ran over to say that she wanted to go and asked me to accompany her. I hadn't spoken yet when I saw Yaya's worried face. Thinking about it, with Xiaoxiao's physical condition, her parents would definitely not let her go. I didn't know what to say, after all, no matter how much we said, we were just bystanders and couldn't truly understand her pain. Watching Yaya leave the classroom, as usual, there was a car waiting for her at the school gate, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad for her.

  At this time, Xuan Yuan also walked over and called me. I naturally turned back and asked: "Teacher mentioned summer camp today, are you going?"

  Xuanyuan Ye looked at me and said, "Maybe you can't go."

  I don't know why he said he couldn't go, but I'm a bit unaccustomed to it. Originally, I thought we would continue to bicker and joke around together. After all, since we started sitting separately, he and I haven't been arguing like we used to.

  He saw that I didn't say anything, and then said: "My grandfather wants me to go back to B city for summer vacation, the time has been set long ago and can't be changed. Have fun playing, don't think about me too much."

  "Who would have thought of you? Cut, I didn't even ask you for a reason, why are you explaining to me, and who am I to you anyway?"

  He just smiled and said: "The ghost will think of me, of course I'm telling the ghost, the ghost is now my good classmate, before it was my good deskmate."

  I'm so angry that my face is a bit red, I said: "You... You say who's a ghost? You're the ghost! And you're an annoying one at that. Every time you mock me, do you think it'll make you gain weight?"

  Xuanyuan suddenly patted my head and said, "The flesh won't grow, but the mood will be very good. When the mood is good, the head will naturally grow." Now he has hit my sore spot, I hate it when others mention height issues. I ignored him, and he said again: "Okay, okay, I'm a ghost, I'm a annoying ghost. Don't be angry, originally not looking good, getting angry will make wrinkles, that's even more ugly."

  I didn't expect Xuan Yuan Ruo, who was originally about the same height as me, to suddenly be half a head taller than me. He even casually reached out to touch my hair, which made me unhappy. Why hasn't my height grown yet? I quickly turned my head and said, "Don't touch my hair! My head can be cut off, blood can flow, but my hairstyle cannot be messed up. What if I don't look good? Do you have the right to make me look at you? Humph, I'm ignoring you."

  As I turned back, I shouted to Xiao Xiao, my brother and my current deskmate Shu Tengteng to hurry up. At that moment, I found Xiao Xiao had an expression as if she saw nothing unusual, while Shu Tengteng was staring at the interaction between me and Xuan Yuanrui in surprise. I glared back at Xuan Yuanrui, who was still smiling, really thick-skinned.

  Shu Tengteng suddenly covered her mouth and burst out laughing. Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "There's nothing strange about it, they've been desk mates since the beginning, and they've been together for a long time. Don't look at Xuan Yuan, he always has a faint smile on his face, never making things difficult for others, just like what Ya Ya said, oh yeah, I remember, it's 'warm as jade, elegant gentleman'. But when he's with Xiao Xiao, it's like fire and ice colliding, the two of them bickering is just an everyday thing, you'll get used to it."

  Xiao Tong nodded to show her understanding, and then said: "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Liang and you, Tian Jing and other girls, as well as Xuan Yuan Rui, Wu Hanwen and other boys all have a very good relationship. I'm so envious of them! From now on, I also want to play with you guys together."

  "Why don't you play with us, haha, I'll cover for you. By the way, Wu Hanwen seems to have something on today and won't be going home, usually he walks part of the way with us."

  Shu Tengteng was visibly excited, saying: "I know, I know, his family lives at 111 Fenghuang East Street, my family is also nearby, just in Langyuan Alley. My mom always uses him as a role model to teach me, he's really smart, and it's all because of him." As she spoke, Shu Tengteng's face had a faint blush, but if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice. Xiao Xiao asked what was going on, and Shu Tengteng smiled and said nothing, saying that she would know later. It turned out that in the past, Shu Tengteng's family did live there, but at that time, I had no relationship with Wu Hanwen, so naturally, I wouldn't have known that his family was nearby, and he was famous among the parents in the neighborhood.

  After going home at noon, I told Dad and Mom about the summer camp thing and our thoughts. As soon as Mom heard it, she clapped her hands and said, "This is a good thing, you two will be less likely to get into trouble at home during the summer vacation, find something for you to do."

  "Alright. And you two are usually taken care of by me and mom, this time going out will probably be tough on you, do you still want to go?"

  My brother and I looked at each other, nodded firmly, and Mom smiled and said: "Well, I agree, but don't cry later and call us to pick you up halfway, there's no regret medicine to eat."

  In the afternoon, when the teacher counted the number of people, only Yaya and Xuanxuan didn't go. All other classmates were very enthusiastic, even after class they would discuss what they would do at Ping Shan Forest Farm, with many wild ideas.

  I heard some boys say things like "Are we going to go shooting or something? Aren't there troops?" And also things like "Will we go soak in the mountain springs or not?"

  Eh, kids, you know that ideals are plump and reality is bony. In my previous life, I went to Pingshan Forest Farm, but my impression of it was only that the spring water was sweet, nothing else interested me. However, considering everyone going together, I reckon it will be quite fun and childish, just like a summer vacation trip.
