Chapter 70: Campfire Party

  Night falls faster than they imagined, the bonfire party is the climax of the whole event, as the sun slowly sets, their excited hearts gradually rise.

  Most of the students in the class are only children, and even going out overnight is rare, let alone camping. The parents also reluctantly agreed to this activity because of Xu Mufeng's face. As soon as everyone arrived at the mountain, they had a great time, and the whole process was filled with laughter and chatter.

  The darkness can conceal the environment, and also hide people's emotions. If it is said that during the day everyone still carries a hint of pride and estrangement, then at night they are completely open-hearted, laughing wildly.

  Xia Xi's hives on her back started itching again, she quietly pulled Xian Miao to the farthest tent from the crowd, got down on all fours, and asked her to apply some medicine for herself.

  Xianchu lifted up XiXi's suspenders, and her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Those small rashes had already been scratched open by her, some were red and swollen, yet XiXi still put her hands behind her back, trying to scratch again. Xianchu slapped her hand heavily and said sternly: "Don't scratch! Do you want to leave scars?"

  Xi Xi withdrew her hand, "But it's itchy."

  "Enduring it, I'll go ask if anyone has calamine lotion. You just rest here for a while." Xuan said as she exited the tent.

  Chen Yan watched as the two people sneaked away from the crowd, heading towards a more secluded area. It was already late at night, and although this mountain had been developed into a scenic area with nighttime patrols, there was no absolute safety guarantee. He quietly followed them, noticing that Xing Miao left quickly, which made him feel somewhat puzzled, so he walked up to them.

  She lifted the flap of the tent without hesitation.

  "Wow, you're quite fast! Hurry up, hurry up, I'm itching to death!" Xi Xi thought it was Xian Miao who had returned and urged her hastily.

  Under the dim light of the flashlight, Xi Xi's back was entirely exposed to Chen Yan's line of sight. The girl's slender and soft waist seemed to be graspable in one hand, and he only then discovered that this usually loud and unmanageable little girl was actually so petite. Yet, how could someone who looked so weak and fragile be as stubborn as a donkey?

  Her back was abnormally red, and the rash seemed to be getting worse. Chen Yan thought of reaching out to touch the scratched and bleeding area, but reason suddenly took over - what was he doing?

  He quietly pulled down the curtain, trying to pretend he had never appeared. Xian Mo happened to return at this time: "Chen Yan, what are you doing here?"

  Chen Yan thought for a moment, his reason seemed difficult to convince Xuan Miao, so he didn't speak up. Suddenly, a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered came from the tent: "You damn pervert!"

  Xiao Man looked at the tent, then glanced at Chen Yan's expressionless face, and handed him the calamine lotion with a sly smile: "Want to try it?"

  Chen Yantie's face turned blue as he fled in a hurry.

  Xia Xi saw Chen Yan again, separated by the burning flames, and couldn't see his expression. She mouthed "despicable rascal" and turned her head away, no longer looking in his direction.

  A group of people sat around the bonfire, playing games and chatting. Chen Yan saw a bright light flashing in Xi Xi's eyes, he wanted to see her more clearly, but the firelight had burned the surrounding air thin, so that in this hazy line of sight, it was impossible to see anything truly.

  Zeng Yu Xing suddenly stood up and suggested dancing around the bonfire together. Everyone's enthusiasm was reignited, reaching a boiling point.

  "Hold hands and form a circle, the bigger the better. Take one step to the left, one step to the right." Zeng Yu demonstrated as he spoke.

  Everyone formed a circle around them, Xi Xi held Xian's right hand, hesitated and looked to the left, Chen Yan appeared out of nowhere and took her hand, a spark suddenly ignited in her heart, her mind was in chaos.

  Leading a pig, leading a pig, it's not good to lose her temper in front of everyone, so she can only silently recite in her heart.

  Simple dance, pure smile, this joy seems like transparent crystal water without any impurities.

  The dance rhythm became faster and faster, turning into a group of people running wildly around the bonfire, finally collectively exhausted, panting heavily and falling to the ground.

  Chen Yan glanced at Xi Xi sitting next to him, panting heavily, his face flushed red, and his heart inexplicably softened for a moment. The mountain wind howled, blowing her bangs into disarray, and he subconsciously raised his hand to help her tidy it up. Seeing her dazed and bewildered eyes, Chen Yan suddenly came back to his senses, and with a burst of strength, he knocked on her forehead: "Falling for me, huh?"

  Sweat ran down his body, and his clothes stuck to his back in a prickly mess. Xia XiXi rubbed her head, scowling at him with a fierce expression, making him feel itchy inside too - her eczema had somehow spread to his heart as well.

  "Pigs would be interested in you!" Xi Xi countered with a punch.

  The night grew darker, and the people who had been noisy all day began to yawn unconsciously and returned to their tents one after another. Due to the few girls in the class, Xu Mufeng showed his gentlemanly demeanor and arranged for them to live in two-person tents, without having to squeeze into a tent with four boys like the others. Xi Xi slept drowsily and found that Xing Qian had not returned yet, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up to look for her.

  She had just put on her clothes and crawled out of the tent, when she saw a faint light coming from one side. She took a closer look and found Chen Yan leaning against a tree, playing with his phone. The white glow from the screen cast an unnatural pale light on his profile. She tiptoed forward, wanting to launch a surprise attack on him. After all, he had made her fall so many times, it was time for her to gain the upper hand.

  She cautiously approached from behind, her outstretched hand had not yet landed on his shoulder when he suddenly turned around, this movement was too sudden, and it ended up startling XiXi instead.

  "You're sick! Scaring people in the middle of the night!" She retorted, her hand covering her mouth, still shaken.

  Chen Yan's arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, and with a turn, he brought Xia Xi, who was completely unguarded, into a small grove nearby.

  Xiao Mei was still sitting by the bonfire, and when a gust of mountain wind came, she subconsciously wrapped her coat tighter around her. Although the chill was seeping in, she didn't want to leave yet. Not far from her, Xu Mu Feng hadn't left either. By the dying flames, only the two of them remained until the end, having chatted for a long time.

  "To be honest, sometimes I really can't understand your attitude towards this trivial matter."

  "What is called being busy with things, is it just chasing fame and fortune every day?" Xǔ Mùfēng asked back.

  Xiao Mei was momentarily speechless, and then she heard him chuckle softly: "It's almost over, there's a Sino-US cooperation project in Beijing, my mentor recommended me to go."

  He's leaving so soon, no wonder he was so enthusiastic about this outdoor activity. Xun Miao felt like there was a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow or spit out. "You're not attending Shu Hua's wedding?"

  "Haha, this is too cruel for my ex-boyfriend. The wedding might not make it in time, but I'll only be going in mid-August, and before that, I need to take you guys to a competition training." Xu Mufeng reported with a self-deprecating smile, Xing Meng could feel that his mood suddenly dropped, and he couldn't help but regret bringing up Shu Hua.

  She just wanted a little more intersection with him. You can search for "Yuan Jia Xiao Cao Bu Yi Jie Ha Shi Ba" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
