Chapter 104 Class Reunion Camping Trip
Chapter 104 Class Reunion Camping Trip
Time seemed to slip away on campus.
Before we knew it, it was New Year's Day again, the most relaxing time before final exams.
Because of the upcoming school anniversary celebration next semester, Imperial University did not prepare a New Year's Eve party this year.
But at least it's the start of a new year, and with the stressful exam week ahead, many people are choosing to take advantage of the holiday to relax.
In Finance Class 1, Tang Li, as the organization committee member, and the class monitor hit it off and initiated a vote on whether to organize a class camping trip for New Year's Day.
"A huge new resort has been built in Fengcheng, we can go camping! The tents are so cute! We can also fish and have barbecues, and the air in Fengcheng is so fresh, you can see lots of stars at night!" Tang Li said to her roommates, adding cutely, "Let's go out and play together before the holidays!"
"Go! If you fail, it'll be Pear's fault!" Zhao Ying raised her hand, her phone screen already showing her approval.
Li Xiangyue and Jiang Lai exchanged a glance and also voted in favor.
As it turns out, although everyone verbally claimed they were going to fail their courses, when it came to going out and having fun, they were all quite decisive. Almost all the students voted in favor, and so, during the New Year's Day holiday, the students of Finance Class 1 embarked on a camping trip.
Tang Li and the class monitor were incredibly efficient; they quickly arranged everything, meticulously recording how the class funds were spent and posting it in the group chat. Just looking at it made everyone think that this camping trip would be very interesting.
New Year's Day arrived, and the students of Finance Class 1 chartered a bus to Fengcheng. On the bus, they mostly sat together by dormitory, but since they were all classmates, they were quite familiar with each other. They chatted and laughed all the way, and some even encouraged each other to perform. Soon they arrived at the Fengcheng Resort.
The tents that Tang Li and the class monitor had arranged were already set up, four people per tent, and since they were arranged by dormitory, everyone's tents were not far apart. The boys' tents were outside the girls' tents for safety reasons.
You don't need to set up the tent yourself, but you'll have to do the fishing and barbecuing yourself.
The squad leader suggested, "Anyone who wants to go fishing, go over there, pay a deposit, and get a fishing rod! We'll take what we catch to the resort staff to process tonight, and then we'll barbecue it!"
"Okay!" several boys responded.
“I get it now, fishing really is a man’s romance,” Li Xiangyue said.
"It's the kind of romance for middle-aged men. Apart from the cost of the necessary equipment, it doesn't cost much else, and it kills time, so it's perfect for middle-aged men."
"Forget about those people, let's go pack our things in the tent ourselves!"
"Good~"
The four of them went into the tent and chatted and laughed all afternoon.
Then the class monitor sent a message in the group saying that the fishing group had returned and that everyone should go to the resort to choose what they wanted to eat for a barbecue that night.
The campsite is also within the resort area. It's a relatively spacious grove of trees that has been specially designated as a campsite, ensuring safety while also fulfilling the camping dreams of some people.
Jiang Lai and her roommates left the tent and went to the resort together.
"Chicken wings, pork tenderloin, fish tofu, chicken legs, rice cakes..." Everyone chose their favorites.
Back at the campsite, the students who stayed behind had already set up the barbecue grill. Everyone immediately took out all the prepared ingredients and started cooking for themselves.
Many boys acted like gentlemen, proactively handing the food they had grilled to the girls.
Jiang Lai and her roommates were busy brushing sauce onto the chicken wings, while the class monitor had a box full of grilled meats and vegetables.
"First, let's thank our organizing committee member for their hard work in organizing such a fun camping trip!"
Tang Li didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take the box from him, saying, "Then I'll accept it."
The class monitor dodged her hand.
"What?" Tang Li asked, looking puzzled.
Here, have a skewer.
"So stingy??"
The class monitor picked out a large lamb skewer, saying, "Here, this is for the class beauty."
Jiang Lai accepted it: "Thank you, class monitor!"
"?? If you were only going to give me one skewer and the rest to A-Jiang, I would accept it. But why only give A-Jiang one skewer?" Tang Li asked.
"Aren't there other girls too? Everyone gets a share."
Zhao Ying joked, "Are you trying to pull that 'equal distribution of favors' act on me?"
The other girls also noticed what was happening and started calling the class monitor a "scumbag."
The squad leader was on the verge of tears: "I'm so wronged! I tried to curry favor with the wrong person!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The sounds here were so cheerful that they attracted some other tourists as well.
"Hey guys, there are way too many of you!" A boy approached the boys in the class with an overly friendly air.
"Class reunion! How about you guys, bros?"
"Pretty much, but we're having a party here for a friend's birthday."
"Oh, so you live in a detached villa in that area, right?"
"Yeah! You can come and play together! There are arcade games, pool tables, and a basketball court over there."
"No problem! Would you like to try some of my grilled meat?"
Boys' friendships develop really quickly.
When Jiang Lai went to get more raw ingredients, she discovered that several students from other schools had infiltrated her class.
Why could she tell at a glance that he was from another school? Because she saw Ying Yanzhao.
Ying Yanzhao must have seen her long ago. Seeing Jiang Lai staring at him, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he winked at her and then walked forward.
"Is this the third time? Can we add each other back on WeChat now?" he asked, hands in his pockets, with a slightly roguish air.
Jiang Lai looked him up and down, mimicking his manner, and put her hands in her pockets: "Why should I? I didn't agree to your request last time."
Ying Yanzhao opened his mouth and said regretfully, "Tsk, I'll ask again later."
"Are you really that persistent?"
"After all, this is the first time I've been rejected by a girl."
Jiang Lai rolled her eyes and walked away.
Since Ying Yanzhao was here, it meant that the other boys were also from the sports school. Several boys from the class went to play basketball with them, and they didn't return until it was dark.
"Squad leader, let's add a few more people to the bonfire party! It'll be more lively that way!"
"Yes, class monitor, these are classmates from the sports school, they're not bad people."
The class monitor agreed; they were all college students, so they would definitely get along.
Tang Li felt that one of the physical education students looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Everyone sat together around the campfire.
Ying Yanzhao sat down next to Jiang Lai: "Want to add each other on WeChat?"
The boy next to him pulled him back, saying, "What are you doing!"
Jiang Lai looked at the boy and realized she vaguely remembered him. He was the boy who interrupted Ying Yanzhao's attempt to chat her up when school started. He was dressed neatly and looked well-behaved.
The boy clearly remembered Jiang Lai, exclaiming, "It's you!"
Jiang Lai smiled at him, revealing two dimples.
The boy scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "My name is Xia Yu."
"Hello, Xia Yu, my name is Jiang Lai."
Xia Yu nodded, wanting to say something more, but Ying Yanzhao interrupted him and continued to ask Jiang Lai, "Can we add each other on WeChat?"
Jiang Lai turned her head away from him.
Xia Yu: "Ying Yanzhao!"
"What?" the voice asked lazily.
"You and I will sit over there!!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Lai saw Xia Yu pull Ying Yanzhao away, and the person next to her was now a classmate from her own class.
The class monitor and Tang Li stood up to host the party.
"Then, the second class reunion camping campfire party for Finance Class 1 officially begins!" the class monitor announced loudly.
"Wow~" "Yay!" "Great!" The students cheered enthusiastically.
Tang Li clearly knew how to liven up the atmosphere, "Let's play a warm-up game first! Everyone sits alternately between men and women, don't all sit with your roommates."
Everyone cooperated and adjusted their seats. Jiang Lai thought Ying Yanzhao would come over again, but he didn't.
Jiang Lai was a little surprised and went to search for his figure, but their eyes met in mid-air. He seemed not to be surprised that Jiang Lai would look at him, smiled, and said something, but it was too dark for Jiang Lai to see clearly.
Ying Yanzhao said, "Looking for me?"
Jiang Lai didn't see him clearly, so she ignored him and looked elsewhere. She saw Xia Yu, who was standing somewhat awkwardly between two girls from the finance class. When he saw Jiang Lai looking at him, he smiled back at her.
The first game was called Number Bomb. The host selected a two-digit number using a mobile phone, and everyone took turns calling out the number. The person whose number was selected had to be punished by performing a talent show.
At first, everyone was having a good time, but then, for some reason, starting with someone, everyone stopped using the number bombs and started performing shows instead.
Some volunteered, while others were urged on by their classmates.
Jiang Lai sat there, smiling as she watched everyone play and joke around.
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Tang Li's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Lai and she immediately shouted, "Stop arguing! Let A-Jiang come up and perform!"
Jiang Lai tilted her head and looked at her with a "you sold me out" expression.
Tang Li looked away and asked, "What do you all think?"
"Okay!!!" "The class beauty should go up and sing!!" "Yeah! I haven't heard the class beauty sing since military training!" "Why isn't she participating in the Top Ten Singers competition?" "The class beauty should go!!!"
"Everyone's heard singing before, what's the point? Ah Jiang knows so many things, how about we have her come up and perform one?"
"it is good!!!"
Xia Yu glanced at the cheering crowd around her and sidled up to Ying Yanzhao: "I didn't expect Jiang Lai to be so popular in class!"
Ying Yanzhao: "Hmm."
"Damn, you have nothing to say to me? You bastard."
Two of their friends chimed in, saying, "Ying-ge has been staring at the class beauty all night, he can't be bothered with you."
“She’s the prettiest girl in someone else’s class, it’s no use him looking at her,” Xia Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Ying Yanzhao sneered twice: "You really know how to talk. If you hadn't come up to me earlier, we might have added each other on WeChat."
With cheers and encouragement rising and falling, the atmosphere had reached a fever pitch, so Jiang Lai stood up confidently and said, "Then I'll dance for everyone!"
"OK!!!" "Music start!" "Battle song start!!" "It's being recorded!"
"Turn on the flashlights!! Wave them!!!"
When Tang Li saw Jiang Lai walk to the middle, she quickly turned on the small speaker she brought and selected a song by Theone for her. When Jiang Lai heard the familiar melody, she immediately followed along with the movements.
Because the weather has cooled down, Jiang Lai is wearing jeans and a sweatshirt today. She originally had a jacket, but she took it off and put it back in the tent when she got hot earlier.
She was dancing right now, and although she wasn't wearing loose clothes, she still moved with ease.
Ying Yanzhao watched her from the side. Her joints moved flexibly, her dance steps were light and quick, her movements were neat and graceful, but her eyes were charming and alluring. This was her state when she was relaxed and immersed in the music.
After Jiang Lai finished a rap move, Ying Yanzhao suddenly stepped forward and danced with her. It wasn't a duet, but Ying Yanzhao was clearly a good dancer. He danced around Jiang Lai, his movements perfectly timed, and the two seemed to have suddenly developed a tacit understanding.
The students were screaming and cheering.
Class monitor: "You're pushing our class beauty to an outsider?! TAT"
Tang Li looked at the two people dancing enthusiastically and said, "How would I know!"
Then she remembered who Ying Yanzhao was. Wasn't he the guy who had hit on A-Jiang when she was having dinner with her fellow villager?
