After Escaping Marriage [GL] - Chapter 100
Cheng Zhanxi’s destination was Qingzi Peak, a few hours’ drive away.
Qingzi Peak is higher than Xiufeng in the suburb of Sicheng. In comparison, Xiufeng is a hill slightly higher than the soil slope. Because of the distance, most of the students in the class have not been there. Qingzi Peak has a high terrain, the peak can be seen shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountains are covered with pine and lush vegetation, and the scenery is beautiful.
The academic tasks in the second semester of high school are much heavier than the previous semester. The pressure of the liberal arts and science classes in the second half of the year made the students in Class 7 tense into a string, and they really needed a spring outing to relax.
The students were very enthusiastic. After getting in the car, there was a lot of chatter, and they never stopped.
Cheng Zhanxi put the backpack on his knees, and took out a thermal lunch box and a stainless steel cutlery box from it.
There are tuna sushi, egg rolls, fried sausages, fried spring rolls in the bento.
Cheng Zhanxi picked up a fried spring roll with chopsticks, and held it to Yu Qingtang’s lips. Yu Qingtang took a bite and dropped food scraps in Cheng Zhanxi’s white palm. She whispered a little embarrassedly. : “I’ll do it myself.”
Cheng Zhanxi smiled and handed the chopsticks to her.
Neither of them had breakfast, Yu Qingtang picked up the remaining half and planned to feed it to Cheng Zhanxi. Thinking that it was inappropriate for her to eat the rest of her own, Cheng Zhanxi had already lowered her head and bit the tip of her chopsticks, her long eyelashes looked unusual. Dense, Yu Qingtang couldn’t help but startled. Immediately after Yu Qingtang’s wrist holding chopsticks was brought forward, Cheng Zhanxi raised his head, ate the spring rolls into his mouth completely, and smiled at her.
Suddenly, there was no sound in the heated car.
Lian Yabing: “Hiccup.”
The other classmates looked at her one after another, secretly giving thumbs up underneath.
Cheng Zhanxi was calm, looked back at everyone, and asked kindly, “Are you hungry? I still have snacks.”
The students shook their heads and said in unison, “No! We are not hungry!”
The other party, Yu Qingtang, was too embarrassed to lift his head up.
Cheng Zhanxi pressed his hand down and said, “Show face to the head teacher.”
Everyone saved face and resumed the warm chat atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Zhanxi turned back and said softly to Yu Qingtang: “Okay, you can continue to eat.”
Yu Qingtang looked up at her, to be precise, staring at the position of her arms, looking like she really wanted to bury her face in her arms. After thinking about it, she restrained herself. If she really wanted to do this in front of the whole class, her majesty would be lost in the future.
Cheng Zhanxi took out two disposable gloves and ate hand-rolled sushi with Yu Qingtang. Yu Qingtang ate it in small bites, and did not make a sound.
Xing Bailu glanced at He Shuangjiang, who just took back his envious eyes.
Is this the adult world?
I really want to grow up quickly, with the people around me.
Lian Yabing was dying, regardless of the face of the squad leader beside him.
Li Lan was tutoring Lian Yabing in English. The two started to focus on Meng Meng from the middle of the last semester. Everyone consciously gave up the vacant seat beside Lian Yabing instead of occupying the position of monitor.
The voices in the car behind him were far and near, and the scenery outside the car window was all the way backwards.
The students were tired and fell asleep, and the boys snored.
Cheng Zhanxi put the bag under his feet, held Yu Qingtang’s face, and put the woman’s head on his shoulder.
On the smooth-running bus, Yu Qingtang fell asleep after a while, Cheng Zhanxi held her hand, bowed his head and fell into a drowsy doze.
There are green waters and green mountains on both sides, and I slept halfway through, occasionally squinting and opening my eyes, which is refreshing.
When we were about to arrive at our destination, the carriage became noisy again. He pointed at the green rice seedlings in the rice fields in the distance, his eyes were novel, and he discussed it at length. , The global distribution of climate, what are the boundaries, the main types of crops, and representatives of the history class also joined the discussion, and were sprayed back by the other big students.
“We came out to play, I don’t want to study any more—”
“It’s called entertaining.”
“I’m not happy when you teach me.”
“Hahahahahaha.”
In the end, they were divided into two camps. Those who wanted to study continued to study, and those who only wanted to play sang in the carriage. Later, only the singing of youth was left when the carriage was full, and it spread out into the wilderness and far away.
Cheng Zhanxi’s popular songs in that era have become the tears of the era, and he beat the tempo for them together with Yu Qingtang.
The driver’s uncle looked at the bustling carriage from the central rearview mirror and smiled unconsciously.
The brake pads and the rubber rubbed together, and the students got off the bus in an orderly manner after the bus stopped. Yu Qingtang counted the heads outside the bus, and Cheng Zhanxi sat inside. She was the last one to come down and looked up at her from outside the door. Smile.
What is the Spring Outing of 50 students like?
Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang didn’t feel it yet, but other tourists felt it first. A group of teenage high school students, Wu Yangyang, who saw it all avoided their limelight, “People stop killing people, Buddhas stop killing Buddhas.”
Xiangtianyou – the brightest star in the crowd also turned back and waved to them, smiling brightly and teeth white.
“Mr. Yu, Mr. Cheng, hurry up!”
The tourists all cast their gazes at Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang behind.
Cheng Zhanxi & Yu Qingtang: “…”
An old lady may not have heard this teacher, and asked, “What kind of group are you? The young man is handsome.”
Cheng Zhanxi complimented: “You are also very beautiful.”
The old lady said, “Can I join this group? Are you a tour guide?”
The old lady’s daughter next to her pulled her arm, and the old lady was not happy: “I’m getting old, what’s wrong with looking at a beautiful young man?” She turned her head and smiled at Cheng Zhanxi again, “The little girl is also quite good-looking, she is a tour guide Xin. Isn’t it hard? Bring so many people.”
The old lady’s daughter said in a low voice, “Mom, they are teachers.”
The old lady looked at Cheng Zhanxi with a strange brilliance: “it’s the teacher, hello teacher, is the teacher so pretty and has a partner?”
Yu Qingtang was jealous because Cheng Zhanxi was chatting with the old lady, and she was suddenly hugged by Cheng Zhanxi and stood in front of the old lady.
Yu Qingtang and the old lady stared at each other.
Cheng Zhanxi said with a smile: “Yes, this is my girlfriend, and she is also a teacher.”
The old lady and Yu Qingtang stared at each other again, not knowing why they created an atmosphere of meeting their parents.
Yu Qingtang’s ears turned red, and she forced herself to say, “Hello.”
Cheng Zhanxi thumped, and the soft flesh on his lower back was suddenly pinched by two fingers.
Cheng Zhanxi cleared his throat, restrained his laughter, and said, “Do you think we are a good match?”
The old lady scrutinized the pair of beautiful people in front of her, and nodded again and again: “Perfect match, perfect match.”
The old lady’s daughter dragged the old lady away. Cheng Zhanxi’s hand around Yu Qingtang’s waist did not loosen, but tightened. He lowered his head and smiled and said, “She said we are a good match, did you hear that?”
Yu Qingtang was shy and did not speak.
Cheng Zhanxi said, “We are the two of us, and we are the best match.”
She let go of Yu Qingtang’s waist, held her hand hanging by her side and intertwined her fingers, catching up with the student team in front.
They shuttled through the crowd, walking in the sun, and the tourists beside them cast various looks from time to time, such as amazement or envy and blessing. Yu Qingtang slowly raised her head, stretched her shoulders, and turned her head to look at Cheng Zhanxi’s gentle profile. , and then looked down at the hand they held together and never let go.
There was a slight squeeze from the knuckles, and Yu Qingtang’s knuckles tightened, holding her tightly.
Cheng Zhanxi’s lips curved significantly deeper.
Li Lan, who had done the detailed preparatory work, directly brought the hungry classmates into the place to eat, crowding the store all at once.
Li Lan assisted Yu Qingtang to adjust the seat, and then ordered the food to be served. The back kitchen was busy, and the waiter was running around with a teapot.
Passing tourists saw so many people inside, and walked in with a herd mentality.
There is a queue of equal signs at the door. It is not the peak tourist season, and Qingzifeng is not a famous scenic spot. This store is very eye-catching on the street.
Cheng Zhanxi smiled at the boss who didn’t have enough staff to serve the dishes himself: “Madam, we have brought you so much business, do you have to give us a discount?”
She is beautiful and speaks nicely. She made the proprietress laugh when she came and served the food, and immediately said happily: “Okay, I’ll give you a 50% discount.”
“So many of us.”
“You also know that there are so many of you. It’s a lot of 9.5% off.”
“Boss lady~”
“10% off, it can’t be any less.” The proprietress put down the dishes and gave her an angry look, “I have to go to another table for dishes. If I don’t talk to you, I will give it away for nothing.”
The beauties nourished by the Jiangnan water town still have their charm, twisted their waists and walked away.
The classmates at the same table were overjoyed, Cheng Zhanxi was also laughing, and a low air pressure suddenly enveloped him.
Cheng Zhanxi smiled slightly, leaned over in a low voice, swallowed, and explained to Yu Qingtang, “That… I’m mainly to save money.”
Her expression of ease just now calmed down in an instant, showing the strict control of a wife incisively and vividly.
The students clapped the table with laughter.
The other tables heard the excitement here and didn’t know what was going on, so they sent someone over to inquire, and the classmate who passed the message added fuel to the jealousy, and it became Teacher Cheng who gave the proprietress one more look.
The classmates were stunned, thinking to themselves: That’s still more powerful than Teacher Yu.
There was a 22% discount on the checkout, and the lady boss said that the next time Cheng Zhanxi came back, she would give her a free bill, provided that she only brought her girlfriend.
The girlfriend blushed next to her.
There is shyness, and there is shame.
Starting to climb the mountain at two o’clock in the afternoon, Yu Qingtang and Cheng Zhanxi walked behind the team as usual, Yu Qingtang touched Cheng Zhanxi’s tail finger, Cheng Zhanxi slowed down in cooperation, and turned around and said, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Qingtang walked up the steps step by step, whispering, “Do you think I…”
The last few words were too soft, and Cheng Zhanxi asked again.
Yu Qingtang said: “…to make trouble without reason.”
Cheng Zhanxi smiled: “Why do you say that? Because of the lady boss?”
Yu Qingtang nodded. Cheng Zhanxi pinched the tip of her nose, it didn’t hurt, Yu Qingtang looked at her.
Cheng Zhanxi replied earnestly: “No, I only feel your love for me. And you didn’t make a fuss, and you also reflected on yourself. If this is called vexatious, then there are no reasonable people in the world.”
Yu Qingtang was helpless, the corners of her lips turned up slightly, and said, “You always have a reason to convince me.”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “because I am a reasonable person.”
Yu Qingtang smiled.
Cheng Zhanxi brought her right face closer to her, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: “Is there any reward for people who are reasonable?”
Yu Qingtang looked at the tourists left and right, and said like a gnat, “Not now.”
“Will it be late then?”
“…Hmm.” Yu Qingtang’s voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.
“Can I go to the top of the mountain?”
Yu Qingtang made a gesture of throwing her hand away, not really throwing it away, she held it tightly and couldn’t even get away with it. Cheng Zhanxi put it away when he saw it, shook the hands of the two, and strode forward with high fighting spirit: “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up to the top of the mountain.”
Yu Qingtang also secretly raised a bit of urgency.
Cheng Zhanxi didn’t kiss her deeply this morning. From last night until now, he hasn’t kissed her for more than 12 hours.
However, Yu Qingtang has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
She was getting farther and farther from the student team in front, and even the tail of the last one could not be seen. Li Lan called, Yu Qingtang took out her mobile phone, leaned on Cheng Zhanxi and panted.
Cheng Zhanxi said, “I’ll pick it up.”
Yu Qingtang gave her the phone.
Li Lan: “Mr. Yu, where have you been?”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “Let’s buy something.”
Li Lan: “Mr. Cheng?”
Cheng Zhanxi said: “it’s me, you are optimistic about your classmates, keep in touch at any time, we may have to go up later.”
It is impossible to let the students accommodate Yu Qingtang’s physical strength.
Li Lan: “…Okay.”
She hung up the phone and said to a class committee member in front of her, “The two of them are shopping on the mountainside, let’s go first.”
The class committee said: “Then let’s go first and wait for them at the top of the mountain.”
They are all grown up, and they are not elementary school students. They take care of each other and don’t need the teacher to watch.
Li Lan put away the phone, glanced at the place where the mountainside came from, and said, “Okay.”
The mountain wind blew Yu Qingtang’s long hair, she got up from the resting stone, and had just regained her breath.
Cheng Zhanxi felt sorry for her and suggested, “How about I carry you up?”
“Too many people.” Yu Qingtang shook her head and tightened the mineral water bottle in her hand.
Cheng Zhanxi could only lead her to climb to the top of the mountain step by step. She thought about it carefully and considered everything, but she overestimated Yu Qingtang’s physical strength. No, Yu Qingtang has no physical strength at all.
At half past five in the evening, Li Lan called to say they had arrived.
Yu Qingtang: “…”
At this moment, except for those who went to stay at the hotel on the top of the mountain, all the other tourists went down the mountain, and almost no one climbed up.
With the cool breeze, Cheng Zhanxi’s fair fingertips tucked Yu Qingtang’s hair behind his ears, and then gently suggested again, “I’ll carry you on my back?”
Yu Qingtang was silent for a while, then whispered, “Give me the bag.”
Yu Qingtang put Cheng Zhanxi’s bag on his back, looked at the thin but solid back in front of him, and slowly crouched down.
Cheng Zhanxi straightened up and stood up steadily.
Yu Qingtang’s heart tightened and she wrapped her neck tightly.
“Are you really on my back? Why can’t I feel the weight?” Cheng Zhanxi said nonsense seriously.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Yu Qingtang’s voice was soft and soft.
“How can this be called nonsense?” Cheng Zhanxi took a step away easily, “I really don’t feel it, you shouldn’t be a fairy in the sky, right? You deliberately concealed it and didn’t tell me. Yes, you must be a fairy. , otherwise how could it be so good.”
Yu Qingtang pressed her face to the back of her neck, her ears warm.
Cheng Zhanxi is not as relaxed as she looks on the surface. An adult woman still climbs the steps. No matter how good her physical strength is, she can’t be light. After Yu Qingtang didn’t speak, she didn’t speak, saving her energy.
Carrying a person up the mountain is of course not fast, and there were two breaks in the middle, but in any case, it was faster than Yu Qingtang climbing up by himself. After an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
It was already dark, and Cheng Zhanxi put Yu Qingtang down not far from the hotel, so as not to let the students see pictures that would damage the majesty of the head teacher.
They walked towards the hotel. Li Lan waited in the lobby on the first floor and went to the front desk with them.
A couple rented a camping site at the front desk. The front desk politely informed that they had been fully covered and asked the other party to go to another hotel to ask.
The man among them said, “I just came over and saw that your venue is clearly empty!”
The front desk still said, “I’m sorry.”
Cheng Zhanxi stepped forward and said the same thing. The receptionist had a completely different attitude. He smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, please wait a moment.”
The male tourist pointed at Cheng Zhanxi and said displeasedly, “Why is she okay? Do you watch people play the disc?”
The front desk said, “It’s this lady who made it.”
Cheng Zhanxi turned around and nodded politely.
The male tourist originally wanted to say something rude, but after seeing Cheng Zhanxi’s face, he got stuck, and he was crazy for a while.
His girlfriend shook off the hands they held together, turned around and left.
The man quickly chased after him.
“Listen to me dear, I just want to ask her if she can share a space for us, wait for me, she’s not as good-looking as you…”
The front desk couldn’t help laughing.
The two of Cheng Yu retracted their gaze, and the front desk went through the formalities for Cheng Zhanxi and said: “Our hotel’s camping site is the best, with open terrain and a very good view. Covered with young grass, it is flat and soft, giving you the most comfortable camping. I feel that there is a small stream passing by nearby, and the water quality is very clear and can be directly drunk. In addition, we have a water supply system…”
Cheng Zhanxi smiled and said, “I know, otherwise I wouldn’t choose your family.”
The front desk handed over her ID card with both hands and said, “There is a small road on the right side of the campsite, and there is a forest of apricot blossoms. Now it happens to be the season of apricot blossoms. If you are free tomorrow, you can go to enjoy the flowers. There is no one in the morning. , the air is very fresh.”
She glanced at the two people who were clearly a couple in front of her, and pursed her lips and smiled.
Cheng Zhanxi took the ID card, raised his lips and chuckled: “Thank you.”
After leaving the hotel and heading to the camping site, Yu Qingtang said with a complicated expression, “You covered the entire site?”
Cheng Zhanxi nodded: “Yes.”
Yu Qingtang looked at her disapprovingly: “How much does that cost? We can’t use such a large venue.”
“I know you want to save me money.” Cheng Zhanxi put both hands on Yu Qingtang’s shoulders, Yu Qingtang only earned a small amount of money, so she let her hold it, looked at her gentle brown eyes, and acquiesced to her words.
Cheng Zhanxi said: “This is the first time I went out with my classmates for a spring outing. I want everyone to live more comfortably, and I don’t want strangers to disturb us. Besides, there are so many girls in our class, all of them classmates, which are safer than outsiders.”
Yu Qingtang bowed her head and admitted her mistake: “I didn’t think about it carefully.”
Cheng Zhanxi touched her long hair.
Li Lan sighed in one breath and almost turned it into reality.
She waited quietly for a while longer, and then said, “Mr. Yu, it’s time for us to go. The students have been waiting for a long time.”
The camp is in the open ground on the top of the mountain, and the hotel provides outdoor tents and sleeping bags, as well as barbecue grills and grills.
After getting everything, the boys are responsible for setting up the tent, and the girls classify the ingredients they bring, and set up an open-air barbecue in an orderly manner.
Cheng Zhanxi has field experience and helps the boys. Yu Qingtang stares at the barbecue on the other side, and from time to time casts his gaze at Cheng Zhanxi under the camp headlights. Cheng Zhanxi is wearing white casual clothes and squatting on his knees among a group of boys. In the middle, it is very conspicuous.
Eating, drinking, playing and playing, the food and drinks were all empty, and just after eleven o’clock, the students all got into the tent one after another.
The camp lights were off, and the moonlight soaked through the green grass.
The world suddenly fell silent, and there were bursts of insects chirping in the grass.
Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang sat in the open space in front, with both hands on the ground, looking at the sky full of stars above his head.
The starry sky and the wilderness are the two things that are easiest for people to relax.
Yu Qingtang was still not used to such an atmosphere. She looked back at the tent behind her. The zipper was tightly locked and there was no sound. Her voice subconsciously softened: “Are they all asleep?”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “Go to sleep.”
“Didn’t you say you want to see the stars?”
“I usually study too hard, and I can’t stand it anymore.”
Is it?
A trace of suspicion flashed in Yu Qingtang’s heart.
But Cheng Zhanxi believed everything she said, so she suppressed her doubts, then… just look at the stars.
She raised her head.
The stars winked affectionately at her.
Yu Qingtang had nothing to do when she was a child. She would look at the ants on the ground and the starry sky above her head, and then she wondered: which one would her mother be, and would she look at her quietly in the sky like the story said.
Will she miss her too? Will think about whether she grows up safely and healthily.
Later, she gradually stopped looking at it. The stars are just cosmic celestial objects hundreds of millions of light-years away, and the light she sees may be the light of hundreds of years ago. People need a little romance and fantasy to live, but Yu Qingtang doesn’t have it.
Yu Qingtang looked away from the brightest one and lowered her eyes.
In the higher place, people will feel closer to the sky. Cheng Zhanxi looks at the vast stars like a sea of smoke, and feels that they are not hanging in the sky, but have a splendid Milky Way on their body, and they are in the boundless sea of stars.
“Do you believe that people turn into stars when they die?” She heard Yu Qingtang’s very soft voice ringing in her ears.
“I believe.” Cheng Zhanxi answered her with the same volume without turning his face.
long silence.
Cheng Zhanxi turned to look at her, Yu Qingtang hugged her knees, no longer looking at the stars, but at the grass.
Cheng Zhanxi withdrew his supporting hand from the ground and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Qingtang said in a low voice, “If there was a child she didn’t like on the ground, wouldn’t she appear in the sky?”
Disliked child?
Are you talking about herself?
Cheng Zhanxi was very surprised, there was a dull pain in his heart, and he said softly, “how can you be the child she doesn’t like? If your mother can see you, she will be very happy.”
“Really?” Yu Qingtang’s voice was unusually calm, she looked down at the weed beside her, and pulled one down, “Then why do they all hate me?”
“who are they?”
“Grandparents, grandparents, and… him.” The man in the name of his father.
Yu Qingtang took a deep breath and said before Cheng Zhanxi said: “You don’t have to comfort me, don’t comfort me, I’m used to it. I just think occasionally, I didn’t want to be born in this world, and I didn’t either. They wanted to take my mother’s life, but they gave birth to me, why did I live my life?”
Yu Qingtang laughed at himself: “Don’t you think it’s absurd? No one expects me to come.”
“I look forward to it.”
Yu Qingtang turned her face and looked at her without any emotion.
Cheng Zhanxi looked into her eyes and repeated it seriously: “I look forward to it.”
A thin layer of water mist formed in Yu Qingtang Moyu’s eyes.
Cheng Zhanxi said: “The world is also looking forward to it. The sky wants you to see what color it is, the earth wants you to see how vast she is, the tree wants you to see how it grows, and the river wants you to see how it flows. , flowers want you to smell it, birds want you to hear how it chirps, and these bugs in the grass, they’re all saying hello to you. Listen carefully and close your eyes.”
Yu Qingtang lowered her long eyelashes, closed her eyes, and turned her ears to listen.
Cheng Zhanxi asked, “Did you hear that?”
Yu Qingtang said softly, “I heard it.”
Cheng Zhanxi said gently: “They are saying: Welcome, Yu Qingtang, welcome to this beautiful world.”
Yu Qingtang closed her eyes and smiled with tears.
The chirping of insects became louder and louder, overshadowing the sound of the tent zipper gently pulling at the camp.
In the moonlight, one after another figure emerged from the tent, flexible and light, without making any sound, silently following the plan.
Yu Qingtang had closed his eyes for a long time, but reopening them has calmed down a lot.
She let out a long breath, stretched her brows at Cheng Zhanxi relaxedly, and smiled.
Cheng Zhanxi restrained herself and didn’t let her out of the corner of the eye look behind Yu Qingtang. She reached out and tucked a strand of long falling hair behind her ear for Yu Qingtang, and said softly, “I have something to tell you.”
Yu Qingtang looked happy, still laughing: “What’s the matter?”
Cheng Zhanxi stared at her tenderly and said, “Happy birthday.”
Yu Qingtang suddenly widened her eyes.
The word was too far away from her, and she hadn’t reacted like an ordinary person for a long time.
Cheng Zhanxi looked at her and smiled, and said again clearly, “Happy birthday, Yu Qingtang.”
Yu Qingtang’s dull eyes finally moved, and at the same time, she realized what she was looking back at.
