The bus left the school gate and drove all the way to the outskirts of the city. The scene outside the bus window also changed from row upon row of high-rise buildings to a lush rural scenery.
The students in the class were talking enthusiastically about the picnic later. Some even ignored the reason for their trip and started eating while sitting in the car, completely treating this grave-sweeping activity as an outing.
But no matter what, the bus was still filled with a youthful atmosphere. It was a rare trip out of school, and it was a group activity trip with classmates. It was impossible not to be excited. Even the class teacher did not organize much discipline. The journey was so lively that even the driver couldn’t help but sigh that it was great to be young.
But compared to others, Yan Han was not that energetic.
He went to bed late last night, woke up early in the morning, and didn’t eat breakfast, so he was already in a daze. The bus was still swaying on the mountain road, causing him to get carsick.
It was not too serious. As long as you close your eyes and don’t think about it, you won’t feel any strong discomfort. In order to ensure that he didn’t vomit it out, Yan Han just sat there and looked like he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
But Lin Jianlu next to him quickly discovered something unusual about him.
“Are you okay?” Lin Jianlu asked.
“It’s okay, just a little motion sick.” Yan Han replied.
“You don’t look good. Do you want some water?”
He said and asked Wen Juerong next to him for a bottle of water.
The food brought for today’s picnic ended up being bought with Lin Jianlu’s card, and then several people shared the cost equally, and the supplies were looked after by Wen Juerong and Qin Siyu.
When he heard that Yan Han felt carsick, Qin Siyu hurriedly handed him a bottle of water, while Wen Juerong asked, “Brother Yan, did you not eat again this morning?”
“Hmm.” Yan Han didn’t want to talk at the moment.
Sometimes he woke up too late and didn’t have time to go to the canteen to buy food, so he simply didn’t eat in the morning.
He once tried to store some bread as dry food, but he would often forget to buy it after he ran out of it. Over time, he left the impression on Wen Juerong and others that he often skipped breakfast.
“You can’t do this. Skipping breakfast can be very harmful to your health.” Wen Juerong said.
Qin Siyu next to him also said: “Yes, your stomach will get worse after a long time. How about I buy breakfast for you in the future? Anyway, I go to the cafeteria every day.”
Yan Han thanked them for their kindness, but he really didn’t feel very comfortable at the moment, so he took the mineral water from Lin Jianlu’s hand and took a sip.
Before handing it to him, Lin Jianlu had unscrewed the bottle cap with great care.
Yan Han thanked them again. He was still feeling faint at the moment and obviously couldn’t have breakfast now.
Simply walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.
Yan Han couldn’t wait to get out of the car. Yan Han was still a little dizzy, but the air in the mountains was very fresh. It was cloudy again today, and there was an earthy aroma in the air.
After almost landing on the ground and taking two steps, Brother Yan was resurrected with full health!
He was completely resurrected, and after he didn’t feel uncomfortable, it was almost impossible to imagine the way he looked when he was pale just now.
However, the few people obviously still remembered the time when he was extremely weak. If they hadn’t been asked to stand in two lines after getting off the bus, Yan Han would have been forced to eat breakfast by now.
The team was quickly organized automatically, because they were almost the tallest male and “female” classmates in the class, when lining up, Yan Han and Lin Jianlu walked to the back of the team.
In front of them were Wen Juerong and Qin Siyu.
After counting the number of people, everyone stayed in place. The mountain road was narrow and could only allow two people to walk side by side, so they all followed one class up the mountain.
When Class 13 in front finished walking, the squad leader held the class flag and walked at the front, and the teams followed one after another.
It rained heavily during Qingming Festival.
It was not raining now, but the sky was extremely gloomy. Dark clouds hung thickly in the sky, as if raindrops would fall at any time.
“It’s such a gloomy day. If it rains, will the school cancel the camping trip?” Wen Juerong stretched out his chubby hand as he walked, and spread his palm upwards a little childishly, wanting to test whether there were any raindrops falling.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qin Siyu, who was next to him, was afraid that he might be talking nonsense, so she told him to shut his mouth quickly.
Yan Han followed them, watching the two people in front of him playing and making noise, and hearing the whispers of classmates talking in his ears, he suddenly felt that campus life was really interesting.
He was an active person, and he usually had to learn to suppress his nature, but for Yan Han, group outdoor activities like this were like letting a fish into the sea. He only felt comfortable all over his body and his mind was clear. He had learned a lot, and he was not as confused as before due to lack of sleep.
…This mountain area was nice, but it was a pity that it was too far away from the school. Otherwise, he could go for a run on the weekends and do morning exercises when he had nothing to do.
Yan Han thought.
He was trying his best to feel the unique charm of nature, but unfortunately the location of the cemetery was not high, so he only had to walk a few steps to get there.
There was a large open space like a square in front of the Martyrs Cemetery, with monuments built on it, and further down was the cemetery.
But the cemetery would not be open to them, and all tomb-sweeping ceremonies would be held in this square.
In addition to them, there were students from other schools and passers-by who looked like tourists. At this time, some people were taking photos in front of the monument.
The coming and going of people brought some life to this cloudy morning.
The scene was so lively that it gave people the illusion that they were really on an outing.
The busiest among them were a group of primary school students who looked to be about thigh-high.
——The square was now basically occupied by primary school students wearing red scarves and carrying small schoolbags.
The little beans in the distance were very busy laying flowers and holding banners and were even asked to take photos by the school.
In fact, what they had to do was similar. After arriving at the square, each student was assigned a flower, which was to be placed in front of the monument later.
The flowers were small yellow flowers of unknown species.
Unlike Wen Juerong and others who had participated in such activities since childhood, Yan Han had come here for the first time.
When he was in school, his school had never organized such meaningful activities.
…Maybe they had, but he had never participated.
So everything now was a first experience for Yan Han, so it didn’t feel routine or boring.
He was just a little disappointed when he learned that the process was to lay flowers in front of the monument, sign the banner, and take a group photo, and that was it.
After all, this meant that today’s activity would probably not bring him any points.
At first he thought it was the kind that really swept graves and helped take care of the cemetery.
Now it seemed that he was overthinking.
Before that, he had thought that if he behaved well, he might be able to open the “Virtue” treasure chest today.
Now he realized that there was nothing to express.
The flower-laying activity as a class went very quickly. They took about two photos together and stood there for about half an hour before it was their class’s turn.
Flower-laying was still the kind where two students in the same row come forward to lay flowers together, then put them down and left.
The students at the front of this process had gone through this process countless times, but when they arrived at the row of Yan Han and Lin Jianlu, there were still some comments all around.
In particular, the primary school students next to them all looked to be about seven or eight years old. They didn’t know much yet and were difficult to discipline.
Even though the teacher asked them not to speak loudly, when they saw them presenting flowers side by side, a primary student couldn’t help but say: “Brother and sister stand together so well, they look so good!”
Yan Han: “…”
He almost got sprained. Brother Yan finally presented the flowers with a calm face and bowed politely to the monument.
…It didn’t matter, wasn’t it just being called sister? He was used to it, he really won’t break down and didn’t care…it’s just weird!
He roared in his heart and returned to the team of Class 14, and then it switched to Class 15 laying down flowers.
After this process, Lin Jianlu separated from the class team. The group activities and photos had been completed, and it was time for him to do what the disciplinary committee should do.
Yan Han became a human being this time, and finally looked less like him at first sight.
After all the classes had laid flowers, a banner specially made by Luze High School was laid on the ground. Every student and teacher present must sign their name on it as a souvenir.
Classes still came forward one by one, but the banner was very long, so all the students in the class could go up and sign together. The progress was unusually fast, so it was soon the turn of Class 14 again.
When Yan Han lay on the ground to sign, there were already many names on the banner.
He didn’t look much, just found a corner and signed his name, and then Wen Juerong twisted his fat body and rubbed his body over, writing his own name next to his name.
Yan Han: “…”
Wen Juerong planned the nearby signatures while writing, and finally signed Lin Jianlu’s name to the right of Yan Han’s name.
The two names were neatly lined up in a row, with Wen Juerong’s name written in the lower middle and the three names formed a perfect triangle.
Because it was so perfect, it was actually a little eye-catching.
After all, other people really just signed wherever they found the space.
Yan Han was confused: “What kind of operation is this?”
“Big Brother Lin is busy with school affairs, so he asked me to sign his autograph.” Wen Juerong said.
“Yes, I know he asked you to sign for him, but you…” Why did you have to sign his name so close to mine?
“A family must be neat and tidy.” Wen Juerong said matter-of-factly.
“…”
Qin Siyu thought what he said made sense and signed her name near them.
So the triangle becomes a quadrilateral.
Then their squad leader joined in the fun, and the quadrilateral turned into a pentagon.
….
Other students also thought it was interesting, and those who had not yet signed all came over to sign. In the end, the circle centered on Yan Han and Lin Jianlu was filled with names, and finally the shape could no longer be discerned.
Wen Juerong almost lost his temper!
