Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Spring Outing Plan (Extra Chapter for Classmate Jiuge of Zui Dongfeng)

At the beginning of the new semester, the pace of various courses slowed down slightly. Everyone was gradually returning to the normal rhythm of high school life.

In Class 3, the seating arrangement was reorganized at the start of the semester. Head Teacher Dong Zhongying brought a lottery box for students to draw numbers and select seats in order. After selecting their seats, they would adjust according to their actual height, with a monthly rotation to the right.

Mei Fang got lucky this time and drew the third position, allowing him to choose his seat third.

He didn’t have any particular preference for his seat; wherever he sat was fine as long as it was convenient to hang out with girls from other classes.

The back row by the window, the land of kings.

Mei Fang chose a seat by the outer window instead of the inner one. These seats were not very popular since they were the main points where the head teacher monitored students. Any small actions during class could easily be spotted.

Not everyone had friends from other classes like Mei Fang did.

After Mei Fang finished filling out his seat number, he noticed several girls in the class whispering among themselves.

When the girls who were whispering earlier came up to fill their seats, Mei Fang noticed that they either filled in seats around his group or along the wall in Group 4. By next month’s rotation, they would sit next to him, and after another month, they could become his desk partners.

Unlike Mei Fang’s experience at Bai Mei No. 1 Middle School, academic performance did not play a significant role in determining popularity among boys in Jiangcheng No. 1 Attached High School.

This was because most students were not weaklings, and there was no clear superiority in academic ability at higher levels. Moreover, even if someone excelled at competition problems, it didn’t matter much. Many local students were preparing for overseas studies or local 985/211 universities, neither of which cared much about the college entrance exam.

Thus, Mei Fang’s musical talent—his ability to play guitar, compose original songs, and the fact that they were good—became a significant advantage. He genuinely experienced what it felt like to be a popular boy in class.

Although his classmates, especially his own classmates, did not show overt infatuation, their eagerness to talk to him was strong. Wang Jiayu often brought up topics about Mei Fang in front of his friends, teasing him. While Mei Fang outwardly acted annoyed, he secretly felt a bit proud.

Some girls liked filling in seats around Mei Fang, probably considering his two “little green plums.” However, no girl specifically filled in the seat next to him.

As for the boys, Mei Fang’s close friends were all seated later, and others who were not familiar with him did not like seeing him constantly in the spotlight. Therefore, no one filled in the seat next to him.

However, finally, an audacious girl filled in her name next to Mei Fang’s seat.

【Xiang Bingbing】

Xiang Bingbing filled in her seat naturally, picking up a piece of chalk and writing her name next to Mei Fang’s without hesitation.

She walked down the stage under everyone’s watchful eyes, first boasting proudly to Wan Chaohong, Mei Fang’s former desk partner, before returning to her seat and nudging Mei Fang with a smile.

“We’ll be desk partners again!”

Before Mei Fang could respond, Wan Chaohong gave Xiang Bingbing an international friendly gesture.

“You’re doomed, Xiang Bingbing. Didn’t you see how tightly those two little green plums of Meizong keep him? And you still dare to sit next to him.”

“What’s the big deal? We were desk partners during the summer training camp,” Xiang Bingbing replied with a smile. “Besides, I’m good friends with Yuan Yuan and You Xi. They wouldn’t mind, right, Fang?”

“?”

Mei Fang quickly reminded Xiang Bingbing, “Don’t call me that. I told you last time.”

“Haha… Every time I hear them call you that, I get used to it.”

Xiang Bingbing scratched her head and laughed, “By the way, did you hear? My roommate said our school will organize a spring outing at the end of this month!”

“There’s nothing surprising about a spring outing; they happen every year, both spring and autumn outings,” Wan Chaohong, a city kid, wasn’t surprised. “It’s just walking and climbing mountains; it’s boring.”

“But we didn’t have an autumn outing last year!” Xiang Bingbing pouted. “I’ve never been on a spring or autumn outing.”

“Last year? Didn’t we go target shooting together? That should count as an autumn outing.”

“That was no fun. I played in Shennongjia long ago. My grandpa used to…”

Xiang Bingbing was enthusiastically talking when Mei Fang listened intently, “Do you know if this spring outing is organized by the class or the whole school?”

Xiang Bingbing giggled, “Are you planning to go on a spring outing with Yuan Yuan and You Xi?”

“Of course.”

Mei Fang didn’t deny it. “We never had spring outings in our hometown. If we can experience it together, that would be great.”

Wan Chaohong shook his head. “Only primary schools in Jiangcheng organize spring outings collectively. Besides, our high school has too many students in each grade. Apart from practical activities, they usually don’t organize collective outings. But if the locations are the same, there might be instances of joint class activities, which would require coordination between the class leaders and teachers.”

“Got it.”

Mei Fang had many opportunities to be intimate with Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi at school, but mostly only during breaks and meal times. Without being in the same class, they often couldn’t meet. If they could participate in some organized activities together, it would feel great.

After changing seats, Head Teacher Dong Zhongying also mentioned the spring outing during today’s evening self-study session. Following past practices, it would be decided by democratic voting. He presented a few options: the usual spring outing spots for students of Jiangcheng No. 1 Attached High School were Luo Yan Island, Ma An Mountain Forest Park, and Mitan Tianchi.

Luo Yan Island, adjacent to East Lake, was a nice wetland park. Ma An Mountain was suitable for hiking and enjoying fresh air, and they could also have a barbecue. Mitan Tianchi involved mountain climbing and sightseeing, and since it was far from the city, they could camp and watch the sunrise.

Compared to the first two spring outing spots, rural students who hadn’t explored much of Jiangcheng were particularly interested in camping. They talked the most about Mitan Tianchi, and Mei Fang wanted to go there too. His roommates went camping there when he was in college, but he couldn’t join due to lack of money. After college and graduation, he never had the chance again.

Head Teacher Dong Zhongying entrusted the organization of the spring outing entirely to Class President Heluo Yun and the class committee. As the PE monitor of Class 3, Xiang Bingbing had some influence in the class.

“Mei Fang, after school today, ask Yuan Yuan and You Xi if they want to go anywhere. As long as the location is the same and You Xi is the class president of Class 5, she organizing it would make it easy for us to go together.”

“Alright—”

During the break in evening self-study, Mei Fang told Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi about the spring outing. Both were naturally happy to go with Mei Fang.

Regarding the spring outing locations, Xia Yuan responded without hesitation:

“Let’s go to Mitan Tianchi! It’s great for camping! I heard there’s a hot spring there, and I’ve never tried one!”

Mei Fang frowned, “Who told you there’s a hot spring? There’s no hot spring at Mitan Tianchi. There are none in Jiangcheng. You need to go to Xian Ning那边。”

原来关于木蓝天池有温泉的都市传说从12年开始就在流传，梅方前世在江城读大学的时候也经常听说，不知道是谁开始谣传的……

“怎、怎么会这样！”

夏缘听后很伤心，但她很快振作起来。

“能一起露营也不错的！感觉露营还挺有意思的。”

林有兮却不像两人那样乐观，“现在最大的问题主要是经费问题，毕竟学校不会给钱，门票加上露营费用，就算用上学生证，估计也要接近200左右。虽说春游本来就是自愿出行，但是如果不去的人太多，那就是班委的活动组织没组织好，大家投票也不会投木蓝天池。”

“呼……我说什么问题呢，原来是钱的问题啊！”

梅方拍了拍胸口，然后笑道：“那没问题，直接跟你们班的人说，你在木蓝天池那边有亲戚熟人，可以很便宜地把露营的帐篷睡袋租给我们。”

“有兮哪来的租帐篷的亲戚啊——”

“啧……”

夏缘被林有兮瞪了一眼后恍然大悟，连忙掐着梅方的脸蛋质问他，“靠，阿方你是不是又想乱花钱？老实交代！”

“为了制造青春美好回忆的花费，那才不算乱花钱好吧！”

感谢醉东风、玖歌同学的打赏，老哥直升了榜一打了2个盟，我今天还得更一章……算下来我今天估计要更4章了，呜呜。
