Chapter 2043: Chapter 2043: Hesitant to Return (10)

Several people struggled to separate, Bei Xiaoxiao was almost suffocated under them: ”Are you guys nuts? Why are you deliberately pressing down on me?”

”...”

They didn’t know what happened either!

There wasn’t anything to trip over, they just inexplicably fell.

They felt a chill behind them.

But there was nothing behind them...

Wait, where’s Hang Chuzheng?

Wasn’t she just behind us? Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?

Bei Xiaoxiao, feeling discomfort in her chest, gave her followers a good scolding.

Chuzheng quickly found out what Bei Xiaoxiao meant by ’in a few days.’

In order for the students of Dongyang and Donghai to quickly adapt and increase friendship, creating a harmonious campus, the school organized an autumn outing.

Students from Dongyang Middle School: ”...”

In such cold weather, what’s the point of an autumn outing!

Just want to study, don’t want to go on an autumn outing.

No matter what they wanted, the school’s decision couldn’t be changed.

But that didn’t stop students of Dongyang Middle School from rebelling, they all expressed the need to prepare for the upcoming monthly exam, voluntarily opting out of the autumn outing.

Teachers expressed that study should be mixed with rest, it’s only three days, two of which are weekends, it doesn’t interfere with learning.

Students: ”...” You really know it’s the weekend!!!

One failed plan, they started thinking of other tactics—collectively asking for sick leave.

One sick leave might be approved.

Two or three...

Teachers aren’t stupid, they would easily spot something wrong, in the end no one managed to get a leave.

With so many people at school, the autumn outing was conducted in batches. Each batch included some Dongyang and some Huahai students.

Chuzheng didn’t see the point of such separated friendship outings, was it just that school teachers wanted an autumn outing?

Dongyang Middle School had a lot more students than Huahai Middle School, if a fight broke out, they’d be overwhelmed by numbers directly.

Coincidentally, Chuzheng and Bei Xiaoxiao’s group ended up in the same batch.

Chuzheng saw Bei Xiaoxiao and her followers from afar, a group of people chatting and laughing, looking quite happy.

Wonder if the destination is truly in the wilderness...

Chuzheng felt a bit expectant.

”Chuchu.” Qin Qiao waved at Chuzheng, ran over excitedly and asked, ”Which bus are you on?”

Chuzheng pointed at a bus behind her.

”Oh, I’m on the bus right behind yours. Sweetheart, it seems our destiny is predetermined...”

Seeing Qin Qiao about to start a dramatic performance, Chuzheng quickly pushed her towards Jian You, who had followed, and swiftly got on the bus, leaving Qin Qiao alone performing the iconic hand gesture.

Chuzheng chose a corner seat in the back, the students in the class were clearly not happy, looking as if they’d been tormented.

If there were no Huahai students, they’d be quite pleased.

Dongyang Middle School felt like the home ground, for Dongyang Middle School’s original students, this was akin to a dad suddenly remarrying and bringing an Oil Bottle back.

Dongyang students definitely felt unbalanced, feeling as if their dad had been taken away.

The class teacher got on the bus, counted everyone, then got off to check again.

The main group hadn’t set off for a long time; it seemed there weren’t enough buses, and now they were moving students to other buses.

Chuzheng saw through the window Chi Gui and his brothers getting off from a bus and heading to another one.

Chuzheng remembered it was the bus carrying items, the seats were mostly occupied by various boxes.

”No way, only four people can go on this bus.”

”Isn’t there still one more person? Think again if there’s still an extra spot.”

The class teacher’s conversation with someone could be heard from the front, Chuzheng turned her eyes and went to the front.

”I’ll take that bus, let her sit here.”

The class teacher frowned: ”Can that bus accommodate people? Don’t go, stay seated, the teacher will figure out a solution.”

Chuzheng’s expression stayed firm: ”Some students just got on, it can accommodate.” If the coincidences from idol dramas don’t happen, then I’ll create them myself!!

Chuzheng got off the bus, the class teacher couldn’t stop her, only watched her head over there.

”Think about it, girls today are all about looks, with your looks, anyone would fancy you. Yet you scuttle over eagerly only for them to ask you to deliver their love letters hahaha.”

”Give Zhaozhao some face, guys stop laughing.”

”Can’t help it, I can’t stop hahaha.”

As Chuzheng approached the bus, laughter erupted from inside.

”Do you guys want to fight!”

”Brother Chi, Brother Chi, help!!”

As Chuzheng got on the bus, the people who were play-fighting froze in place.

Chi Gui was leaning in the aisle, school uniform over his shoulders, arms crossed, watching with a smile, leisurely enjoying the show.

The flamboyant wine-red hair was gone.

The sunlight outside the bus window fell on the top of his head, showing a little blue tint, not very deep, practically invisible from afar. The part not touched by sunlight seemed just black.

Quite the rebellious kid!

”Cough cough... Let go, let go!!” The guy being pinned down quickly stood up, tidied his clothes, and showed a sincere smile: ”Classmate, what are you doing on this bus?”

”Sitting.”

Chuzheng replied succinctly.

Chi Gui glanced at her, the curve of his mouth unchanged, half-smiling, as sunlight added a faint halo to his handsome profile.

”Eh?” The boy scratched his head: ”This bus isn’t as comfortable as others, does your class’s bus not have enough seats?”

They came here because they needed to add people to the buses.

”Mm.” Chuzheng calmly answered.

With a girl around, the boys became more disciplined, quickly working together to clear out some spaces.

The driver got on the bus just then and wasn’t surprised seeing people aboard: ”Find your own seats everyone, we’ll be leaving soon.”

Not many spaces were cleared, Chuzheng sat in one of the last row’s empty seats.

Chi Gui sat across the aisle from Chuzheng, legs casually stretched into the aisle, his peripheral vision noticing the few people in front.

”Driver, driver... open the door, open the door!!”

Qin Qiao’s voice arrived before she did.

Qin Qiao, with Jian You by her side, bounced outside the door, asking the driver to open it.

Chuzheng’s gaze scanned quickly around, there was one seat left here, and one beside Chi Gui...

If Qin Qiao got on, she’d definitely choose here.

Can she maintain peace for the journey?

No!!

Chuzheng made a decisive move, stood up and said to Chi Gui: ”I want to sit inside your spot.”

Chi Gui was taken aback: ”Can’t you sit over there?”

”Can’t.”

The door opened slowly, Chuzheng already saw Qin Qiao’s hand on the handle.

Startled, Chuzheng pushed Chi Gui a bit aside and easily swung herself over his legs, into the inner seat.

Qin Qiao boarded as Chuzheng had already settled, as if she’d been sitting there all along.

Qin Qiao blinked: ”Chuchu, weren’t you just...” She pointed to the other side.

The driver urged: ”Don’t just stand there, get on, we’re heading out.”

Qin Qiao quickly moved inside, Jian You following her on.

Qin Qiao wasn’t interested in handsome guys, enthusiastically inviting Chuzheng: ”Chuchu, sit with me, it’ll be so boring otherwise, I can keep you entertained.”

Chuzheng: ”...” No way! We don’t match!
